Plot – It is another case of ordinary business for The Eye, a British spy who uses particularly sophisticated control systems to observe the people he is shadowing. The case that has been assigned to him this time regards Joanna Eris, a beautiful woman suspected of blackmailing the son of a US Senator. One night while tailing her, he follows her to the house of the Senator's son and witnesses her first homicide. The Eye is getting ready to inform headquarters via radio so that the woman can be arrested. However, while he is on the phone, he looks closely at one of the picture he took of Joanna during surveillance and notices a detail that disturbs him deeply: the woman looks tremendously like his daughter, who mysteriously disappeared many years before.

  • “- Joanna: You like sharks?
    - Gary: I like the myths. They have limited memory. Maybe only a minute or two. Sounds like a pretty good life to me. Of course, the downside is they can never stop swimming. Even when they're asleep, they have to keep moving forward, 'cause if they stop even for a moment, they'll die.”
