Any change will simply heal itself, in the long run. Denny says the flow of time is more like the Mississippi. Shanti likens it to throwing a pebble into water, causing ripples. Operator Shanti ( Erika Alexander) draws a diagram showing a "branching" theory - a new timeline is created with the new event (the appearance of the paper), and the old timeline ceases to exist. The scientists chatter about different time paradox theories. However, they eventually agree to try to send a small piece of paper back in time to warn Carlin himself, as an anonymous tip, where the terrorist will be waiting to arrange his car deal. A major blackout of most of the central US, that was blamed on Canada, was actually the fault of operator Gunnars ( Elden Henson).

Attempting to "breach the field" causes failures of the local power grid.

Nothing can be sent back - gerbils, all sorts of experimental animals have arrived dead. He wants to prevent her murder, and the ferry explosion, but the team explains to him that it cannot be done. He smashes a nearby monitor and demands, "is she alive or is she dead?" The group gives both answers - she is alive in the past and yet dead in the present. This is still not what Doug wants to know. Denny ( Adam Goldberg) tries to make it simpler, showing a piece of paper and then folding it to bring two points together. The scientists try to tell him about an Einstein-Rosen bridge, or spacefolding technology, but the advanced physics jargon just infuriates Doug. He knows that the images are not from the dead past because Claire reacted to the laser light. Meanwhile, the viewing room system goes down completely, with several people shouting, "who breached the field?!" Doug angrily confronts them for lying about the system. It shows on the wall behind her, and she sees it and reacts to it. As the surveillance continues, Doug watches her getting dressed, and later reading to her niece, he suddenly raises a laser pointer and directs it at the viewing screen. However, she will be busy when he wants to meet, so they do not make a deal.

She receives a call from the terrorist, asking about purchasing her car. She even writes about it in her diary, which Doug holds and reads four days later, after it was collected as evidence from her apartment. As they observe her, she obviously has the sensation that she is being watched, calling out, "who's there?" and looking around. Doug directs them to focus on the mysterious dead woman, Claire Kuchever, and follow her last days since it is likely she was murdered by the bomber. He asks pointedly how satellites are providing audio, and the team looks startled but provides an explanation. They explain that it is via a system of satellites, and that it takes four days to assemble the information so that it can be viewed just one time. He watches the hundreds of people moving around, and after a few minutes starts firing questions at the team about a technology that can provide this type of live surveillance from four days ago (4 days, 6 hours, 3 minutes, 45 seconds). The team shows him moving images of the ferry boarding, from any and every angle. Doug is invited by FBI Agent Pryzwarra ( Val Kilmer) to join an experimental surveillance team led by Jack McCready ( Bruce Greenwood). Doug also learns that his partner, Agent Larry Minuti ( Matt Craven), was evidently killed in the bombing. The agents believe that her death was meant to look like part of the explosion, but the body arrived too soon. Her body was found one hour before the explosion, but burnt with the same explosive. He is informed by Sheriff Reed ( John McConnell) about the corpse of a woman, Claire Kuchever ( Paula Patton), that washed up on shore. Lonely ATF agent Doug Carlin ( Denzel Washington) is assigned to investigate the terrorist attack. In Algiers, New Orleans, an explosion of a ferry transporting sailors from the USS Nimitz and their families on a Mardi Gras excursion causes 543 casualties.
