:53:06
You speak English?
:53:07
No. And you?
:53:09
Me neither. A pity.
:53:11
Why?
:53:13
l found something important
in a magazine at the library.
:53:20
But it's in English.
:53:22
So how do you know it's important?
:53:25
lt's obvious.
:53:27
You knew we had a tidal wave?
:53:30
l was a kid then.
But l remember the tidal wave.
:53:33
First, the water flooded the town
:53:35
very slowly.
:53:36
Then the earth shook
and there was a thick fog.
:53:41
That night, a huge wave engulfed
the whole town,
:53:46
then the water drained away as if
you'd pulled the plug in a bathtub,
:53:51
sweeping away everything in its path.
:53:53
Where did all that water go?
:53:56
''From a void comes nothingness''
as Father Patricio says.
:54:00
There must be a hole.
:54:03
Sure.
:54:04
Or two seas connected by a hole.
:54:07
l wouldn't know.
:54:11
l'll explain.
:54:14
lf the ocean bed
:54:17
is like a blocked lavatory,
:54:19
where does
the excess water come from?
:54:24
Rainfall isn't enough for a tidal wave.
:54:27
There's the tides,
:54:30
continental shift...
:54:32
l looked into that, too.
:54:37
There was a tidal wave here
and in Japan at the same time.
:54:41
l know where Japan is from the map.
:54:45
lf it was the tides,
the volume of water would be the same.
:54:50
lf the level rose there,
it would drop here.
:54:54
But it rose there and here.
:54:58
Can't be the same volume!
