Ep. 3: Science crew faces ambush and hostile scientist while searching for corn in San Francisco Bay.
The science team anchors in San Francisco Bay, dividing into groups to secure resources and locate corn. Tsukasa and fighters escort scouts up the Sacramento River, where they repel a crocodile attack and retrieve corn from the animals' stomachs. Kohaku spots more corn floating downstream, prompting Senku to suspect a larger supply. Using a light trap to catch corn-eating moths, Senku confirms a nearby corn source. However, Tsukasa detects a threat as an unknown attacker opens fire with a machine gun, forcing the group to flee. Ukyo deduces that someone revived independently and established a settlement with corn fields. Senku realizes they are confronting another scientist with hostile intentions, which strengthens his resolve to continue their mission.
