"If that dam goes, so do we." "Speaking of which..." "Okay, one thing, Walt." "We cannot reverse the river without stopping it first." "That's right, but I have a plan for how." "Reversing the turbine." "That stops it from draining water out." "You-you said that was a bad thing." "Reversing it momentarily would take pressure off the dam wall and make it easier for us to create a tsunami." "But we have to move fast." "Now, the road to the substation that we repaired is still open." "Paige and I will head back there to send maximum power back to the dam." "In the meantime, you two seal the cracks in the wall with concrete, 'cause if water kills the computers, this plan falls apart and we lose the dam." "Happy and Toby will build the bomb." "As far as the explosive substance, she should be able to find rubidium in the dam's thermoelectric generator." "Rubidium explodes on contact with water, so we'll need to keep it dry as it sinks to the bedrock." "The casing needs to dissolve, so I'm thinking rock salt." "So, in summary, we stop the river, drop the bomb, reverse the river, save the town." "Easy." "See?" "Those are the kind of thoughts you should only say to yourself." "Walter, look at all those Christmas lights." "Can we really revert enough power back to the dam to save all these people?" "No." "Those Christmas lights are gonna kill all those people." "What?" "You need to get Ralph on the phone right now." "Get him on the phone." "We're running out of concrete!" "Happy, how's that bomb coming?" "!" "Uh, slow and steady." "You do not rush rubidium, not with all this water around." "Now, we need to turn it to paste." "Okay." "Oh, no, no, da-da-da." "What?" "You got a faster way to turn liquid solid?" "Considering how explosive it is, maybe the prudent..." "See?" "It worked." "We're almost done building a tsunami bomb." "Th-That's a real thing." "I just said that." "Walt, nine minutes!" "We need that power stat!" "Almost there." "We should be calling the police, not Ralph." "They handle the emergency alert system." "No, if we call them, it will take a half hour to convince them that we're not crackpots." "Ralph, have you accessed the system?" " Almost there." " Uh, by the way, where's your sitter?" "Downstairs on her phone." "I gave her a soda." "I'm in." "Great work, Ralph." "Now send an emergency alert." "It will go out to every cell phone," "TV and radio in town."
