Our underwater station should detect it.

All the warning alarms have been triggered.

Oh no! I forgot little Mai Tai.

You stay here while I go to the Seafdec.

Mai Tai is still on board.

I must send him far into

the ocean before the Tsunami hits.

Are you going alone?

Don't worry about me.

Where are you going Cindy?

There will be a Tsunami

in the next 30 minutes.

I need to warn Mai Tai to leave the shore.

Cindy wait.

- Don't go.

- You go back Phu.

"Cindy, it's dangerous."

- Come back.

- You go back.

"Cindy, come back."

Hurry!

What's that?

I've never seen anything like that before.

Mai Tai... Mai Tai...

Mai Tai...

Mai Tai...Where are you?

Come here right now.

Mai Tai...

Mai Tai...There you are.

Never do that again.

There's going to be a Tsunami again.

Stay away from the shore.

Swim far away. Do you understand?

I'll see you after the Tsunami is gone.

Go Mai Tai.

Take care of yourself Mai Tai.

"During the past 5 - 6 months,"

I've had so many nightmares.

I want to know if these recurring nightmares

are trying to deliver a message to me.

Don't worry too much about dreams or omens.

How can I help my people

in the face of a real natural disaster?

"Don't worry, just do your best."

"Make the best decisions

you can, that's enough."

Phu.

"Phu, I'm sorry for leaving you here."

- Nothing will happen to you.

- Help! Please don't leave me Cindy.

We're safe here.

Nothing will happen to us.

Please don't leave me.

Not another false alarm?

I know the reason why.

This was a vertical earthquake.

It failed to spread horizontally

toward the ocean depths.

But the epicenter was violently struck.

150 ft. erosion on an area of 25 sq.km.

We're fortunate it didn't hit a residential area.

There should be no more than 100 fatalities.

"Despite the false alarm,

at least there was no disaster."

It's always better to be safe than sorry.

See? I told you. Nothing happened.

There's no Tsunami.

It will never happen again.

"Don't be afraid, forget your nightmares."

"Cindy, I don't know what happened."

My mother also died in the Tsunami.

It's painful for both of us.

You lost your father and mother.

I may have lost only one parent

"but after 17 years,

I've never recovered my mother's body."

I know Cindy... I know.

It's not that I don't fear the ocean.

The only reason I go diving

is to find my mother

or at least whatever remains of her.

I can't let her vanish into thin air like this.

Cindy...

I'm sorry.

I understand how you feel

but I want you to forget it.

Life still goes on and

we must continue to fight.

I want to know who's

responsible for the state of emergency.

Who ordered the evacuation

and ruined the economy?

I take full responsibility of my actions.

When there's a 6.5 magnitude

earthquake only 600km. from Thailand.

People's lives are my highest concern.

But this is strike 3.

I'd do the same thing 10 times over.

You're being tricked by that crazy doctor.

Hold tightly onto your seat.

The Tsunami may sweep it from under you.

You don't have to threaten me.

"You're just a coalition party,

don't push your luck."

Your time will come soon enough.

This is no ordinary land subsidence.

I believe it's caused by

motion within the earth's crust.

It may be only slight movement.

But the result is significant on

the earth's surface.

Doesn't land subsidence occur

right after a violent earthquake?

Not necessarily.

There's probably another cause;

when a 4 Richter earthquake

occurs over 200 times.

It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

What do you think about this land

subsidence we found today?

This is how it looks when

it occurs in the jungle;

landslides and fallen trees scattered about.

"But if it happens in a town or large city,"

I don't need to mention how much

damage it would cause.

Hawaii reported a 9.7 magnitude

earthquake felt in Kauai.

The epicenter was in Aceh.

"Why didn't we feel any impact

in Thailand, father?"

Perhaps it was a vertical earthquake.

"Look, hurry!" Quickly collect the fish.

"Tsunami is coming, RUN!"

Hurry! Move it!

Everyone come up here. Now!

Tsunami!

"Grandpa if you die in the ocean,

who would be with me?"

Don't worry about me.

"Even if we humans don't destroy each other,"

we're all going to die anyway.

Yes father?

I've invested over 30 billion

Baht on this island.

I don't care about your problems

with the coalition.

But no one can cancel

my paradise island project.

"I hope you understand.

I'm in a meeting now, goodbye."

Are you upset?

No other rich kid has such a short temper.

Let's swim together.

Do you actually think someone like me

would follow those people? I resent them.

I hate how they destroy our resources

and abandon us.

We shouldn't have to live

under these conditions.

What's all the fuss about?

Whatever will be will be.

It's according to the gods above.

I think it's best you don't get involved.

As for the issue of them seizing our island

and eventually driving us away

We'll all have to live out at sea.

What are you going to do about that?

Who do they think they are?

They act as if they own the sea.

It's been 2 years of destruction now.

What should we do?

Don't worry too much about it.

They just run around naked

and lay spread eagle on the beach

Like a bunch of sun-dried stingray.

Aren't you concerned at all?

What if they finish building the casino?

What would you do?

Our island will be full of gamblers.

And where are we meant to go?

But I refuse to leave even

if they send me away.

I'll fight to the death.

That won't get rid of him.

Did you call for me boss?

Those idiots at the disaster warning station...

they're ruining my business.

I've invested trillions in my business.

It's much more expensive

than their crappy signal station.

I don't believe a Tsunami

will come in the next millennia.

Those fools are asking for trouble.

How should I deal with that lot?

What? I thought you took care of it already.

This evening APN will interview

me about the casino.

I'll take care of them right away.

"Yes, do it quickly."

I'm building a yacht marina on that beach.

"When my casino is completed,"

yachts will bring cash from

the 4 corners of the globe.

This is a truly mega-project.

Those villagers will no longer be

an eyesore to your boss.

Catch him quick.

Mr. Keng? Mr. Keng?

Mr. Keng? Mr. Keng?

Beat him to a pulp.

Lift him.

Move him up.

"Leave him here, the high tide will kill him."

Let's go.

"Rawai, Uncle Keng is probably dead."

Why would you say such a thing?

Then where is he?

Don't worry about me Rawai.

Just don't give in to them.

Never surrender wherever you are.

Don't be a coward.

Rawai.

You have no weapons to fight them with.

All you have is a tiny kitchen knife.

This is what I'll use. Why?

What can you do to them?

What do you think you can do?

Do we let them walk all over us?

Welcome aboard the Seafde.

This looks like fun.
