Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now mystery thid.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Come in welcome. I'm e G. Marshall.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
She is an incredibly imposing figure, Queen Liliolani, last of
a pure line of Polynesian royalty. Save for the handsome sun,
she faces nearly eye level to eye level, although Danny
Makihini is well over six feet. Always a woman of
Amazonian proportions, middle age has blown her to gargantuan size
(00:50):
and girth, and her anger and emotion is as monumental
as the rest of her.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Marry A Howley, I'd as soon see you, gal.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Come on, mother.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
It's the twentieth century and Hawaii is a state, not
a monarchy.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
The Polynesian and the American Indian are two of a kind,
two civilizations pirated, their lands, raped and stolen, their countries plundered,
and their people sold into virtual slavery.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
You should be running for the Senate.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
I should be making powder and cleaning my gun, for
of all the howlies on this island, the most repressive
imperialist surrogate king is Carter Bradley, and my son will
marry his daughter only over my dead body.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Mother.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I've never seen you like this. You're always so reasonable.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Are betrothed to Tournna.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
We haven't really seen each other for over seven years.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
She's more like a little sister to me.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
I know more than you do, my son, For all
your doctor's knowledge, I beg you not to tempt fate.
The gods have been angry enough for years, and my
inner senses tell me what you plan will bring a
great our wife down upon us.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I see a raging disaster.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I've already set in being that no human being can stop.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Our mystery drama Wave of Terror was written especially for
the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars Paul Hect
and Carmen Matthews.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
When she mentioned.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Disaster, Queen Liliolani could not have sensed the extent of
the holocaust, which was to change so many lives.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
For at the.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Moment she spoke, out of some alluvial fault in the
Great Alaskan Ridge, the earth boiled from its guts like
a volcano, throwing up great mountains of lava, displacing trillions
of tons of water that formed a great tidal wave
traveling unnoticed beneath the surface, rushing southward at a speed
(03:05):
of up to five hundred miles an hour. Towards the
first land mass in its way, the Islands of Hawaii.
Two days earlier, Danny Makahemy and Liz Bradley had gotten
off the plane from the States at Heilo Airport. Danny tall,
(03:29):
nut brown, Liz a blue eyed, sun bronze, typical California girl.
God and goddess with a special shine, the shine of love.
But despite the message of their eyes and their faith
and assurance, their homeland has brought them a cloud of uncertainty.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
I'll manage somehow, Danny. God's tough, but I can usually
break him down.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
So is Mother.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I wish I fell a sh sure of her. She
has a genius for getting her own way.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
It's a habit of royalty, and we're both children of royalty.
Only yours is for real.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So is yours.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Mine is just tradition, but yours is forced mageur. Mother
is a queen by birth. Your father wears his crown
by only half of Hawaii. What makes me unhappy is
that I can't bring you the kind of world you're
used to, which is only one of the strikes against
me as far as your father is concerned.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
Now, don't start that good again. So you are cannot go,
I'm a holy So what.
Speaker 9 (04:33):
In this day and age?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
It's nothing stateside? Here in the Hawaii.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
What's the difference. Where are the ones getting married? Supposing
they don't give us their blessing.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's up to you and me, isn't.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It, Oh, honey, of course, except.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Maybe I'm still part heathen after all?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Now my mother and your father's blessing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I have.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Now, for all my liberal arts education in medical school,
I still can't explain.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It with anything but a Hawaiian Polynesian word.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
Have a mayor, mayor, that's just plain superstition. No, it's
it's an uneasy feeling.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
But if it has an explanation, it goes away. Big difference.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Welcome home, darling.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
We're borrowing trouble. Let's just go home and face up
to our parents and maybe there will be anything.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I only want to make it as easy for them
as it is for us.
Speaker 9 (05:22):
I love you, and I love you.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
It's as simple as that. So just kiss me a
short goodbye, your big worry wordplain?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Did I have to be asked?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (05:37):
First rift in the lift?
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Your ex rival, doctor Peter Hughes is heading straight for us.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
How do you get through customs.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
The Bradley name the key that opens all doors.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Money, Dad isn't He's probably too busy reigning.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Isn't that what a king does all day?
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Elizabeth Benny he hello, Peg?
Speaker 8 (05:58):
What's the matter with Dad?
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Another thing?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Then?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Why isn't he here to me?
Speaker 9 (06:03):
He got tied up in some business. Am I such
a bad substitute?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Of course, not.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
By the feeling.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
I was something of a letdown by the way Danny
Queen lili A Lani and that exquisite intended of you
as Tallamina waiting for you outside.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Oh, I better make tracks. Mother doesn't like to be kept.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Waiting, and I better get Elizabeth into the helicopter. Mister
Bradley is a little impatient himself.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Will I be hearing.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
From you tomorrow, Liz, I hope tonight. I didn't particularly
know you knew Danny mcaheony.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Only since I went to college on the mainware.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
You seem to have made up for lost time.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I'm not blind.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
I saw that I was going to say farewell kiss,
so I don't think that quite characterizes it.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
However, Pete, I don't want to talk about Danny right now.
I want to talk about what you're aboarding? What is
it about Dad?
Speaker 9 (07:07):
You're quite right, it's a subject I wish I could avoid.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
He's sick. What's the matter? Is it his heart?
Speaker 9 (07:13):
No, it isn't anything necessarily fatal for a long time.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But but what well?
Speaker 9 (07:21):
I would give anything not to be a doctor, or
I have been one these past few months because I
have known that that magnificent body was letting him down.
It's only a shell. Now, what do you mean, don't
let him know? I told you, But it can't be
hidden much longer. Your father has Parkinson's disease?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Oh my god? Does that mean he's going to die
with care?
Speaker 9 (07:45):
What medication we know has some results under normal conditions? No,
but there are plenty of symptoms, none of which your
father is going.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
To be able to bear.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
What symptoms in your.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
Father's case mostly muscular trembling of the hands, dropping things unconsciously.
A rigidity which will inevitably cut down on his normally
superactive lifestyle. A mock decrease in his muscular control.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Oh no, oh, that can't happen to dah. What can
we do to help?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
Some drugs, a fortunate remission in the disease Sometimes most
of all, trying to avoid emotional excitement and fatigue. Welcome
all I had to tell you, especially since.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Why I stop now?
Speaker 9 (08:34):
H I love you, Elizabeth. I'm too old for you,
but just the same, I know you're in love with
Danny mceheiny, that you want to tell your father so,
and trying very hard to be as objective as a
doctor ought to be. I don't know what any of
our futures are destined to be, but I do know
that your father's life, not.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Necessarily death, but his life.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
He's probably in your hands at this moment and from
here on in.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
What's the matter? Don't like me anymore?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I love you tow as a little sister. I always
have and I always will.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
But to no meaning of blue out tonight.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yes, tell Amina, and I am ashamed.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Please, I know you want to marry an only girl.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I can't help myself, little sister, I love her.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
The Queen will never alone.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I need Carter Bradley's consent more than I do my
own mother's.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
And if you do not get it, and to hell
with the.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Past, we will buy our own future and nothing and
no one can stop us.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Lisbell, Daddy, you can't know how good it is to say, damn,
more beautiful than ever, and you'll do just like your mother?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
What do you do?
Speaker 9 (10:06):
I'm stealing a patron Pet's book, but I think I
deserve it because you looks like Beth did when I
married her.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I'm going to carry you over the threshold back home again.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Dad, You shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Why not?
Speaker 8 (10:17):
I'm not such a little girl anymore.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Oh nonsense, light is a feather, which is.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Just what you are.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The proudest scudder.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
I wear in my cap. Damn, I'm sorry, Lizabeth. Did
I spill?
Speaker 8 (10:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Dad, I came a cropper off a new Stoli, and
I've been breaking in my arms a bit stiff.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
You're right, Oh, now you're home.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
I have a few bruises here and there, but I
can shake them off the moment I see you and
Pete happily married. Now you're graduated. Let's make it soon.
Now give the girl a chance to catch her breath.
See me, why were you? I wouldn't grab a again
only when Liz wants me.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Now, don't tell me I said something out of line,
typical of me trying a rush thing. This damn hand
is bothering me tonight. We can talk it all out tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
I can't tell you how good it is to have
your home and wire again, sweethearts.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
I've been waiting to get back myself.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
It's a cold old house without your mother. You're my
one hope. For a while it was future and how boy,
is a lot of responsibility to put on a daughter's shoulders.
But since I have no son left, I know you
won't fail me.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
So this is where you've been hiding out, young lovers, Danny,
you should not have stolen tol me noway from the feast.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
I was the one you need to speak to Danny alone.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Thanks Tobot. I can't speak for myself.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
There are too many words in the world.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Let us just thank the gods for what little we have.
We are a dying race, my son, but still a
proud one. You and Town can keep us alive. And
I thank or Ante and Tara Aura that the moment.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Is almost here, almost here.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
You're a doctor now now the wedding ceremony need wait
no longer.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I have said it for the full moon.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
The night after tomor Mother, Mother, Town mean and I
will not.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Be wet tongue.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Is this your week? I no, but don't stumm a girl, Anthony.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I will answer you, Mother.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I love Tao as a little sister. But I will
marry Elizabeth Bradley, the.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Daughter of Carter Bradley, the Holy Yes.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
Mother, never, I'm sorry, I must.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
We are in love.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
He won't let you.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
How can he stop us?
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Then I will if I have to call on all
the ancient gods.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Please, Mother, I no longer believe in magic a Louis
or any superstitious curse that could harm me or Liz.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
No curse or any magic to harm the girl. I
have no power for that or second sight.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But I tell you this.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
If you marry this holy girl, if you tie your
life to Carter Bradley's daughter, you end my lump. My
death will be on your head and hers I can
smell it in the wind. If you insist in the
words of the missionary, you will reap the whirlwind.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Queen Liliolani could have had no specific foreknowledge of the
Holocaust in store.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
Carter Bradley, absolute monarch.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Whose magnificent physique is betraying him, and whose weakness will
lead him back to old sins. None of our characters
can yet know the cataclysm.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Of nature which is to affect their lives.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I shall return shortly with a two.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
In the.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Great shelf of sub ocean land that lies off the
Aleutian chain of islands is still intact.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
It is some forty eight.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Hours still before the Titanic undersea explosion will render asunder
and create a wave that will rise towering to ninety
feet twenty to thirty feet above the Great Mansion at Wailua,
which spreads along the coral cliffs, looking northward to the
vast Pacific and the coming terror on the Lanai facing
(15:00):
away from the ocean. Carter is just finishing breakfast, as
Liz joins him.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Well now it seems more like home again. Morning, doesn't
dear morning?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Dad?
Speaker 9 (15:11):
You know I've been sitting here, is snorting, as impatient
as the old war horse.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I am, but.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
I couldn't wait. I've finished breakfast. I'm waiting for yours.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No, no, dub Please, what's the.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
Matter, princess? You don't feel well?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
I wish you wouldn't call me back. What princess?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
It's my old name for you, and I always called
you a you. You don't feel well.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
I'm tired, dad, long trip, changing time.
Speaker 9 (15:42):
Well you should have slept longer. How about some copy?
Speaker 8 (15:45):
No, no thanks, Juice. Nothing for the moment. We we
have things to talk about, well, of course we have,
but I sort of thought we'd keep that for lunch.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
I mean, Pete will be here, and don't you think
he ought to be part of it?
Speaker 8 (16:01):
No, Dad, I don't.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
I won't think that's so fair, princess at all? All right?
If you prefer it Elizabeth? Oh why I can't use
the old name.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It doesn't fit me.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Dad.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
It's not what I am.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
On these islands, and particularly this one, is what you
are at the very least. If we were to ride
the Monarchya way up to the top, you could turn
and look north, east, west, and south, and every bit
of land you saw would.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Be yours.
Speaker 9 (16:33):
Or we'll be some day.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Are you so sure that I own it?
Speaker 9 (16:37):
It's mine, along with a few other things. When I
am gone. Who else would it be except yours and Pete's?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
I don't really know. I'm not sure it's that important
to me. What would happen if I didn't marry Pete?
Speaker 9 (16:56):
I didn't What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Would the Bradley lunch still be mine? And all that
goes with it? If I didn't.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Who else would you marry.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
I didn't expect you off so early, my son. After
the long trip and the lure, it.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Was a perfect morning for surfing.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
When the sun rose, I saw those easy rolling four.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Foots, and I grabbed my board and took.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Off, Happy to be home again in your own land.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yes, in a sense, cutting across those waves out there
gave me back not only my sense of balance, but
just my own plain good sense.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'm happy to hear that. Then today we don't quarrel.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
That's up to you. My dots are all gone.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
I would hope that you tell me you are talking
about Tauarmina. Yes, in part, yes, you will marry her.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Mother listened to me.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I know your pride in race, in bloodline, your struggle
to make sure that it won't die. But when I
left Hawaii to go to UCLA, I was eighteen, Tao
was ten eleven years old.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
We made the promises, we took.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
The vows, but Tao was too young to know what
was involved. I believe then, as you do still, that
our heritage and our race must be preserved.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
But I don't any longer.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You are a Polynesian prince.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
No, I am a citizen of the world, mother, a doctor, race, creed, color, nationalism.
Nothing matters to me but that the human body is
one and the same thing.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
The body made.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Strong or weak by exercise and usage, the brain the
same by education or lack of it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So you will not marry Pawarmina.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
No you think Carter Bradley will share your views except
you as his.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Son in law.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
I'll find that out today. But if he doesn't, we
are both of age. Mother, he can't stop us.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
I wouldn't be too sure of that. And what about me?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I want you to meet les mother. I think you'll
change your mind.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
I will meet her, but I shall not change my mind.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And what will you do?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Then?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Mitia first before we come to that decision.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
When ok, I'll take the.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Jeep into town and call her and I'll drive to
Waya Lua, get her and bring her back.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You're wasting your time, I.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Hope not, because I love you and I want you
to love her too. I'll be back by mid afternoon.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Great tone, help me help me make my son see
that our race shamed and despoiled and.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Buying out, dost have new life?
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Ready to do it?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Only Makaheene and power Mina can do it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
She's a princess in her own right. Help me, Connie.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
All the smell of doom that comes to me on
the wind from the north will come to.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Here.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Why stable king here and rub him down good?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
I wrote him hard this morning.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
A hey pee, morning TV.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
I'm hungry as a bull. Lunch ready. Yes, there's a
nice breeze off the water, so it chung. Lee set
the two of us up on the front plane. I
two of us our Lizabeth's too sick. Oh, cor let's
go through the house. I have to wash up anyway.
Here's she upstairs? No, she she left quite a bit
(20:45):
before I got here.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
What do you mean sick?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
She was feeling it a lof her feet at breakfast.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Left to go where? Oh Danny Mkaheiney came by and
picked her up. Liz said she'd be back in the
late afternoon.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Queen Luliolani son, Yes, I thought he was at medical
school on the mainland.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
He was.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
He's graduated. He came back on the same plane with
Liz yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I didn't even though she knew him. But I don't
like this about Elizabeth.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
It is a serious in its own way.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
I was going to let her tell you herself, but
maybe as your doctor, it's better if I do it instead.
Come on, man, come on, come on, get it out.
What is it?
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Well, let's sit down for a minute.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
I want to remind you of your condition and that
flying off the handle and losing your temper is the
worst thing you can do.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh, you pill peddlers, you're all profits of doom.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
If you take the pills I provide, you might put
yours off a good deal hard And I say.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Now all right, but don't try to change the subject.
I want to know why Elizabeth went chasing off with makaheiney.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Did they go surfing? Not exactly, Brows.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
You're a common off lover of Pete. Your fiance goes
hairing off with another man her first day back home,
even if he is just a knacker beach.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
Boy, and you just let her go. First, she left
before I got here. Second, he is not a Canica
beach boy. He's a colleague of mine, a doctor of medicine.
And lastly, Elizabeth is not my fiance anymore. What how
do you know? Where did you find that out?
Speaker 7 (22:18):
Yesterday? When I brought her home?
Speaker 9 (22:20):
You turned my daughter down. No, I should have really
in the first place. I'm far too old for all rubbish.
I'm not marrying her cbe and you are not fooling
me one bit.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
P you're still as much in love with Elizabeth as
you've always been. I smell a rat on how Bennet's
Makaheeney is at it is at.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
It where they go to see the Queen. I imagine to
ask her blessing to get.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Married my daughter at a beach war.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
I stopped talking about Danny like that, And don't get
all worked up. It's bad for you. Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I won't get worked up, first of all, because it's
just not going to happen. There'll be no marriage between them,
because if she doesn't stop it, I will, by God
if he as much as.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Dares it is as uricd Now, now just take it easy.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
It's only a temporary Daxie.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
But this time you are going to take one of
my pills.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I'm sorry, my dear.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You're a lovely girl, and I can hardly blame Danny.
But marriage between you is quite impossible. Mother, I haven't finished.
There are reasons beyond reasons why it can never be
your blood is not our blood. Danny is already the
true to Princess tauer Mina. The gods are already angered
(23:46):
and cannot be angered anymore.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
For God's sakes.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Mother, it's the twentieth century, and you are as intelligent
and well read and educated as any woman I know.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Stop acting like some old, ignorant witch.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I am acting as I must because with me are
ancient chords which sing a death and certain.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Doom for two people.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Queen Lily Olani, I respect your point of view.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Do you respect your fathers? Yes?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
But I will give you the same answer as I
would give him. I love Danny. I'm over twenty Danny
is twenty five. There is no way either of you
can stop us. I'd rather it wouldn't be like that,
but Danny and I have agreed.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
She's quite right. Mother.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
We'd give anything to have both you and mister Bradley
with us.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
But if you are not, I cannot give my consent.
I can only warn you if you persist, it will
end in death and disaster.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I have nothing more to say.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
I am going to pray for all of us.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Well, Liz.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
We're almost all the way home and we still haven't
decided just how we're going.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
To go about it.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
I know, Danny, just I don't think we can rush it,
not right now because of death.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
If you want to back out, I'm.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Not holding you to anything, Oh darling, don't do that, honey.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
I hate to get long winded or.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Go chucking my medical knowledge around, but Parkinson's, I mean,
it can and almost always is a long, long process.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
He's going to need me, I mean really need me
for the first time in his life.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
It's a life that could last another twenty years. Are
you asking me to wait that long?
Speaker 8 (25:32):
No? No, yes, there are Oh Danny, I'm so tired,
and I just can't think.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
We're home.
Speaker 8 (25:46):
Give me children law at least?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Sure, Sure, of course, darling.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
It's only now I'm under some pressures of my own.
And if I can't have you, well, I won't break
my mother's heart or towel.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
And tomorrow night is there night.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
I'll talk to Dad tonight. If I can't convince him,
we'll be on our own.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Why not let me do it.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I'm the one seeking your hand, if not your fortune.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I mean, it's up to.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Me, all right, if you what is it?
Speaker 9 (26:22):
He looks as hello, Danny, Elizabeth said inside. But Danny, Liz,
if either of you want to talk to him about
you as a doctor, I'd say, now isn't the time.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
What happened?
Speaker 9 (26:36):
I made a judgment. I thought maybe i'd better tell
him about you too. Did Liz tell you about him?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yeah? Did anything serious happen?
Speaker 9 (26:43):
No, Danny MD to m D. You know how it
can go. He got a bit emotional and suffered some
speech Impairmit, he's all right now, but I wouldn't advise anything.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I'd better duck out fast before he sees me. I'll
be in touch tomorrow morning, Liz, keep your chin up me.
No real war is about your day, right doctor?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Right?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Just us?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
This too shall pass. I love you till tomorrow, meet.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
You and forever back too. Halloha.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You sure dad's all right?
Speaker 9 (27:20):
If we can keep off a certain subject.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Sure, I don't want I can't do any more talking
about Oh beelp me quick. What is it just something
that nobody but me knows about? Yes, I wonder if
anyone else will.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Ever What new factor could enter a hoped for marriage
which already appears to have everything against it? And what
is the meaning of Liz's cryptic statement expressing a knowledge
(28:04):
that only she has and no one else may ever know.
Is it the same knowledge that Queen Liligorani talks of
as buried in the past, And if she too knows
that ancient gods are to extract penance for buried sins,
who are the two that are doomed or are more
(28:27):
to die in the dreadful natural phenomenon that is at
last about to be unleashed three thousand miles away. I'll
return shortly with Act three. At exactly eight forty two
(28:51):
the following morning, on the island of Hawaii, two final
ultimatums were issued by two irate parents, one of them
by Queen Lily Orlani to her son.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
The gods have been angry enough for years.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Why inner voices tell me what your plan will bring
a great auray upon us.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I see your raging disaster.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Will be set in being that no human being can stop.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
And cut her Bradley to his daughter the next morning,
completely recovered through rest and medication for the moment, Let's
get one thing straight, Princess, and don't interrupt me. I
use the old name deliberately on this island. You o
for the royalty and I'm warning you one thing right now,
go near that makaheeney kanaka again, or let him come
(29:41):
near you, and I'll shut him down like a dog.
I mean not princesses. God is my witness.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
No one or nothing can stop me from doing as
I want.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
On this island.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Whether it was sheer coincidence or whether gods ancient or
contemporary took offense, this was the moment the Titanic explosion occurred,
hurling trillions upon trillions of tons of water at breakneck
speed above the ocean bed. Within six hours, it would
hit the north shore the island of Hawaii head on.
(30:17):
Whether guided by sheer accident or supernatural design, the devastation
it would leave in its wake would be, to say,
the least supernatural.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Dad, you can't be serious, but I am.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
You couldn't do this to me, doing it for you Romans.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
If you don't marry Pete, I leave everything to him.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
I don't need anything. Daddy can support me. I can work.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
You'll never marry him.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Why are you so set against him?
Speaker 9 (30:49):
It should be obvious enough.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Nobody could be that prejudiced, that big at it to.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Make sure if he comes near here or you again,
I will shoot him on such, doctor Hughes, Pete.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
It's dad.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
He's had some sort of attack or something.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
I think. All right, Liz, just slow down and tell
me what happened, and don't worry.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
There's no danger.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
I don't mean to be incoherent, but it's just awful
to see him. Listen to him just spluttering and talking
all sorts of nonsense.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I gave him some medication. Did he take it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yes, he's gone upstairs to take it. What is it, Pete.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
It's part of his illness. The speech impairment is one
of the symptoms. Excitement aggravates them. I'll be right out
and let's see if we can figure what to do.
I've given him a sedative that'll keep him quiet for
a couple of hours. Problem one out of the way temporarily.
(31:56):
Now for problem two.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
You there isn't any problem about me. I'd gotta tell
Danny we're through. I can't marry Danny. And what about
the child?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The child?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
You know, yes, but no, I'm not even sure myself.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
When I gave you the sedative yesterday, I took some blood.
There's no doubt about it. Liz, you're pregnant.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Oh lord, now what am I going to do?
Speaker 9 (32:31):
You're going to get in the car with me and
drive to Tupapahu. If anything can change Queen Miliolani's mind,
it's the child.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
So you are already carrying Danny's child.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I do think that will alter things.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
I'm the one who hoped it would.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
I won't give up Danny's babyy, That's one part of it.
No one can take from me.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
You have courage, little Owli, more courage than I had.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
I wouldn't say that. You know what a difference there is.
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Danny would want his child, call him, get him here
and ask him.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I can't.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (33:09):
He left an hour ago for Wailua. I'm surprised you
didn't pass him.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
You must have taken the jeep over the back row.
That's too rough for a car for why Lua Pete.
Speaker 8 (33:18):
We've got to stop him somehow, catch up with him.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
It's too late for that.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
But if he's gone to Wailua, father sees him a killing.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
What is all this?
Speaker 8 (33:26):
My father, Queen the Liulani. He's promised to shoot Danny
on side. Oh please, please, can't you help us somehow?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Why should I?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
It could be your son's life.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
And now aye, and made responsible again for another life,
another son. How history repeats it her.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
But it won't again.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
It's past time for retribution and the gods are coming
to claim it. What do you mean the may how
may hies upon us? I can feel the ripples of
it in my soul.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Stop it like a wave.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
I will cull Brad, grab your father once he meant
everything to me that Danny means to you.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
At the moment the Queen lifted the fam A tanker
plowing across the North Pacific lifted ever so slightly on
a five inch surface swell that was the only sign
of the gargantuan tsunami, the dreadful tidal wave, which swept
by at the speed of sign, hurtling toward the.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
North shore of Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
There, its monstrous energy would pile up the waters to
a height of over eighty feet, driving inland till its
force was spent to be sucked back with such diabolic
speed that it would carry away everything in its path.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Yes, Brad, it's lil lol.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
For pit's sake, how many years.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Twelve thirteen, you sound just the same. I don't look it.
How are you, Brad?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Oh? I don't know, Little, I'm not the man I
once will.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
You'll never change, certainly not for me.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I want to ask you one favor.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
If it's about our child.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Right have I ever asked one from you before?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Oh? Lord knows you haven't.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
It's a matter of life or death. Will you meet
me at the gross.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
If you ask me? How could I refuse?
Speaker 6 (35:56):
If we both leave this minute, we should arrive in
about an hour, and all.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Right there it's it'll be good.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
To see you again if you shut your eyes to
what I have become.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
At least it's dark. I'll see you at the grotto.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
After your mother died, Elizabeth, we were lovers, your father
and I.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I carried a child of his in my womb.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
But we were ridden with pride of race, each for
his own, and it drove us apart. We could never
be married, and the child well, I thought it was
not meant for me to bear a child of mixed race.
I said goodbye to your father and bear in that
grotto in our temple of love. I aborted and destroyed
(36:48):
our child. I offended the gods. Listen to me, little
hourly princess, you will have your father's blessing.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
As you have mine.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Remember that love my boy, take care of him, bear
his child. Then tar Over will be with us again.
Say goodbye to Danny for me. I cannot urge any longer, Brad.
(37:27):
I thought, if I at last was willing to accept
commingle blood and.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
A child of our families.
Speaker 9 (37:33):
I I can't help myself. Little I am as I am.
I cannot accept any child of my daughters with mixed blood.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
And so you want to kill my boy?
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Not if he stays away from Lizabeth and the child,
all that can be taken care of.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
He will stop the children, make history repeat a terrible
mistake us.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
All over again.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Will I cannot change a changed already?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Look at your hands shaking now, white leaves in the wind.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Ah, that's a different matter. I have Parkinson's disease. I
told you you'd find a different man, not.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
The difference I would have wanted.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Quiet, Come out a little quick. What is it?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Bad kind?
Speaker 9 (38:22):
My god?
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Look at it.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
It's a half a mile on all the fish left
gasping on the rocks.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
A tidal bore.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Is on the way, and a big one.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
I know t Aurora has been telling me all morning.
I could smell the anger of the gods. That's why
I called.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
You here to die dead.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
We cannot stay in the children's way. They're still King, gross,
old woman. Even at your best, you couldn't hoist me
on his back, even with you alone on his back.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It's too late. But I have no right.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
No, try that, try if you can home.
Speaker 9 (39:00):
King, I'm not a little more.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
You're staying.
Speaker 9 (39:08):
We've both been legends in our time. Little, we wouldn't
want to outlive our glory.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I shouldn't have done this to you.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
No, I'm burned out, Little, Thanks for making me realize
that I hadn't much further to go. I only wish
I'd been able to tell Princess, I mean Lizabeth. But
at the last she had my blessing and I love.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
She knows she has ruled my love.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
Yes, But the other how could she ever know?
Speaker 6 (39:41):
I told her so before I left her?
Speaker 9 (39:44):
Oh could you?
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Because I knew what I was going to do. And
I know you bad? Oh, I know you. If ever
any woman knew the man.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
Oh what a fool I was?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
We both?
Speaker 9 (40:01):
And how good have you back?
Speaker 6 (40:05):
So, Nannie, it's coming at last. Afraid I'm going home,
back to where my roots are in the sea to
the south, tall Road, the sea, Gods, we God me
safe and you.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
I go with you as I said at all those
years ago.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Have you you're shaking up for the way we're free,
Me wrong the same and being less than a man.
Speaker 9 (40:36):
It's all id It's as it should be. We couldn't
have each other in life.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
We'll stand together forever in death, all alive. The inexorable
(41:07):
incoming march of the water did little damage compared to
the outgoing surge, which sucked everything into and away with
it like some colossal, unimaginable vacuum cleaner. It left the
beach and the inlet stripped clean, and swept Wailua away
(41:27):
like so many matchsticks. As far as the eye could
see across that northern shore of Hawaii where the wave struck,
and as far as the wave penetrated, not a living
thing was left.
Speaker 9 (41:42):
I'll be back shortly.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Danny and Liz were married, very quietly. There was no
formal funeral either for Queen Liliolani or Carter Bradley, only
a memorial service. Two dynasties were finished, ended, and melded
in the two young people who never took their loving
(42:14):
eyes from each other.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
During the simple wedding service.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
The close was an exchange between bride and groom in
Hawaiian Aloha. Aloha means hello, Aloha means goodbye, but most
of all it means I love you for this. After all,
the terror and Holocaust turns out to be just that
(42:40):
a love story. Our cast included Paul hect Common, Matthews,
Suzanne Grossman, Gordon Gould, Ian Martin. The entire production was
under the direction of Hyman Brown.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
This is e. G.
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Marshall inviting you to return to our mystery theater for
another adventure in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant Dreams.
And now mystery thid.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Come in welcome. I'm e G. Marshall.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
She is an incredibly imposing figure, Queen Liliolani, last of
a pure line of Polynesian royalty. Save for the handsome sun,
she faces nearly eye level to eye level, although Danny
Makihini is well over six feet. Always a woman of
Amazonian proportions, middle age has blown her to gargantuan size
(00:50):
and girth, and her anger and emotion is as monumental
as the rest of her.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Marry A Howley, I'd as soon see you, gal.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Come on, mother.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
It's the twentieth century and Hawaii is a state, not
a monarchy.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
The Polynesian and the American Indian are two of a kind,
two civilizations pirated, their lands, raped and stolen, their countries plundered,
and their people sold into virtual slavery.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
You should be running for the Senate.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
I should be making powder and cleaning my gun, for
of all the howlies on this island, the most repressive
imperialist surrogate king is Carter Bradley, and my son will
marry his daughter only over my dead body.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Mother.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I've never seen you like this. You're always so reasonable.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Are betrothed to Tournna.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
We haven't really seen each other for over seven years.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
She's more like a little sister to me.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
I know more than you do, my son, For all
your doctor's knowledge, I beg you not to tempt fate.
The gods have been angry enough for years, and my
inner senses tell me what you plan will bring a
great our wife down upon us.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I see a raging disaster.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I've already set in being that no human being can stop.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Our mystery drama Wave of Terror was written especially for
the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars Paul Hect
and Carmen Matthews.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
When she mentioned.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Disaster, Queen Liliolani could not have sensed the extent of
the holocaust, which was to change so many lives.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
For at the.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Moment she spoke, out of some alluvial fault in the
Great Alaskan Ridge, the earth boiled from its guts like
a volcano, throwing up great mountains of lava, displacing trillions
of tons of water that formed a great tidal wave
traveling unnoticed beneath the surface, rushing southward at a speed
(03:05):
of up to five hundred miles an hour. Towards the
first land mass in its way, the Islands of Hawaii.
Two days earlier, Danny Makahemy and Liz Bradley had gotten
off the plane from the States at Heilo Airport. Danny tall,
(03:29):
nut brown, Liz a blue eyed, sun bronze, typical California girl.
God and goddess with a special shine, the shine of love.
But despite the message of their eyes and their faith
and assurance, their homeland has brought them a cloud of uncertainty.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
I'll manage somehow, Danny. God's tough, but I can usually
break him down.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
So is Mother.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I wish I fell a sh sure of her. She
has a genius for getting her own way.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
It's a habit of royalty, and we're both children of royalty.
Only yours is for real.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So is yours.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Mine is just tradition, but yours is forced mageur. Mother
is a queen by birth. Your father wears his crown
by only half of Hawaii. What makes me unhappy is
that I can't bring you the kind of world you're
used to, which is only one of the strikes against
me as far as your father is concerned.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
Now, don't start that good again. So you are cannot go,
I'm a holy So what.
Speaker 9 (04:33):
In this day and age?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
It's nothing stateside? Here in the Hawaii.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
What's the difference. Where are the ones getting married? Supposing
they don't give us their blessing.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's up to you and me, isn't.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It, Oh, honey, of course, except.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Maybe I'm still part heathen after all?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Now my mother and your father's blessing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I have.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Now, for all my liberal arts education in medical school,
I still can't explain.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It with anything but a Hawaiian Polynesian word.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
Have a mayor, mayor, that's just plain superstition. No, it's
it's an uneasy feeling.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
But if it has an explanation, it goes away. Big difference.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Welcome home, darling.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
We're borrowing trouble. Let's just go home and face up
to our parents and maybe there will be anything.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I only want to make it as easy for them
as it is for us.
Speaker 9 (05:22):
I love you, and I love you.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
It's as simple as that. So just kiss me a
short goodbye, your big worry wordplain?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Did I have to be asked?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (05:37):
First rift in the lift?
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Your ex rival, doctor Peter Hughes is heading straight for us.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
How do you get through customs.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
The Bradley name the key that opens all doors.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Money, Dad isn't He's probably too busy reigning.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Isn't that what a king does all day?
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Elizabeth Benny he hello, Peg?
Speaker 8 (05:58):
What's the matter with Dad?
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Another thing?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Then?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Why isn't he here to me?
Speaker 9 (06:03):
He got tied up in some business. Am I such
a bad substitute?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Of course, not.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
By the feeling.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
I was something of a letdown by the way Danny
Queen lili A Lani and that exquisite intended of you
as Tallamina waiting for you outside.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Oh, I better make tracks. Mother doesn't like to be kept.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Waiting, and I better get Elizabeth into the helicopter. Mister
Bradley is a little impatient himself.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Will I be hearing.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
From you tomorrow, Liz, I hope tonight. I didn't particularly
know you knew Danny mcaheony.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Only since I went to college on the mainware.
Speaker 9 (06:46):
You seem to have made up for lost time.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I'm not blind.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
I saw that I was going to say farewell kiss,
so I don't think that quite characterizes it.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
However, Pete, I don't want to talk about Danny right now.
I want to talk about what you're aboarding? What is
it about Dad?
Speaker 9 (07:07):
You're quite right, it's a subject I wish I could avoid.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
He's sick. What's the matter? Is it his heart?
Speaker 9 (07:13):
No, it isn't anything necessarily fatal for a long time.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But but what well?
Speaker 9 (07:21):
I would give anything not to be a doctor, or
I have been one these past few months because I
have known that that magnificent body was letting him down.
It's only a shell. Now, what do you mean, don't
let him know? I told you, But it can't be
hidden much longer. Your father has Parkinson's disease?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Oh my god? Does that mean he's going to die
with care?
Speaker 9 (07:45):
What medication we know has some results under normal conditions? No,
but there are plenty of symptoms, none of which your
father is going.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
To be able to bear.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
What symptoms in your.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
Father's case mostly muscular trembling of the hands, dropping things unconsciously.
A rigidity which will inevitably cut down on his normally
superactive lifestyle. A mock decrease in his muscular control.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Oh no, oh, that can't happen to dah. What can
we do to help?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
Some drugs, a fortunate remission in the disease Sometimes most
of all, trying to avoid emotional excitement and fatigue. Welcome
all I had to tell you, especially since.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Why I stop now?
Speaker 9 (08:34):
H I love you, Elizabeth. I'm too old for you,
but just the same, I know you're in love with
Danny mceheiny, that you want to tell your father so,
and trying very hard to be as objective as a
doctor ought to be. I don't know what any of
our futures are destined to be, but I do know
that your father's life, not.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Necessarily death, but his life.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
He's probably in your hands at this moment and from
here on in.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
What's the matter? Don't like me anymore?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I love you tow as a little sister. I always
have and I always will.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
But to no meaning of blue out tonight.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yes, tell Amina, and I am ashamed.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Please, I know you want to marry an only girl.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I can't help myself, little sister, I love her.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
The Queen will never alone.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I need Carter Bradley's consent more than I do my
own mother's.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
And if you do not get it, and to hell
with the.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Past, we will buy our own future and nothing and
no one can stop us.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Lisbell, Daddy, you can't know how good it is to say, damn,
more beautiful than ever, and you'll do just like your mother?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
What do you do?
Speaker 9 (10:06):
I'm stealing a patron Pet's book, but I think I
deserve it because you looks like Beth did when I
married her.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I'm going to carry you over the threshold back home again.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Dad, You shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Why not?
Speaker 8 (10:17):
I'm not such a little girl anymore.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Oh nonsense, light is a feather, which is.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Just what you are.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
The proudest scudder.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
I wear in my cap. Damn, I'm sorry, Lizabeth. Did
I spill?
Speaker 8 (10:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Dad, I came a cropper off a new Stoli, and
I've been breaking in my arms a bit stiff.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
You're right, Oh, now you're home.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (10:46):
I have a few bruises here and there, but I
can shake them off the moment I see you and
Pete happily married. Now you're graduated. Let's make it soon.
Now give the girl a chance to catch her breath.
See me, why were you? I wouldn't grab a again
only when Liz wants me.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Now, don't tell me I said something out of line,
typical of me trying a rush thing. This damn hand
is bothering me tonight. We can talk it all out tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
I can't tell you how good it is to have
your home and wire again, sweethearts.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
I've been waiting to get back myself.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
It's a cold old house without your mother. You're my
one hope. For a while it was future and how boy,
is a lot of responsibility to put on a daughter's shoulders.
But since I have no son left, I know you
won't fail me.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
So this is where you've been hiding out, young lovers, Danny,
you should not have stolen tol me noway from the feast.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
I was the one you need to speak to Danny alone.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Thanks Tobot. I can't speak for myself.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
There are too many words in the world.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Let us just thank the gods for what little we have.
We are a dying race, my son, but still a
proud one. You and Town can keep us alive. And
I thank or Ante and Tara Aura that the moment.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Is almost here, almost here.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
You're a doctor now now the wedding ceremony need wait
no longer.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I have said it for the full moon.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
The night after tomor Mother, Mother, Town mean and I
will not.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Be wet tongue.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Is this your week? I no, but don't stumm a girl, Anthony.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I will answer you, Mother.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I love Tao as a little sister. But I will
marry Elizabeth Bradley, the.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Daughter of Carter Bradley, the Holy Yes.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
Mother, never, I'm sorry, I must.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
We are in love.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
He won't let you.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
How can he stop us?
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Then I will if I have to call on all
the ancient gods.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Please, Mother, I no longer believe in magic a Louis
or any superstitious curse that could harm me or Liz.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
No curse or any magic to harm the girl. I
have no power for that or second sight.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
But I tell you this.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
If you marry this holy girl, if you tie your
life to Carter Bradley's daughter, you end my lump. My
death will be on your head and hers I can
smell it in the wind. If you insist in the
words of the missionary, you will reap the whirlwind.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Queen Liliolani could have had no specific foreknowledge of the
Holocaust in store.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
Carter Bradley, absolute monarch.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Whose magnificent physique is betraying him, and whose weakness will
lead him back to old sins. None of our characters
can yet know the cataclysm.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Of nature which is to affect their lives.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I shall return shortly with a two.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
In the.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Great shelf of sub ocean land that lies off the
Aleutian chain of islands is still intact.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
It is some forty eight.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Hours still before the Titanic undersea explosion will render asunder
and create a wave that will rise towering to ninety
feet twenty to thirty feet above the Great Mansion at Wailua,
which spreads along the coral cliffs, looking northward to the
vast Pacific and the coming terror on the Lanai facing
(15:00):
away from the ocean. Carter is just finishing breakfast, as
Liz joins him.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Well now it seems more like home again. Morning, doesn't
dear morning?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Dad?
Speaker 9 (15:11):
You know I've been sitting here, is snorting, as impatient
as the old war horse.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I am, but.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
I couldn't wait. I've finished breakfast. I'm waiting for yours.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No, no, dub Please, what's the.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
Matter, princess? You don't feel well?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
I wish you wouldn't call me back. What princess?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
It's my old name for you, and I always called
you a you. You don't feel well.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
I'm tired, dad, long trip, changing time.
Speaker 9 (15:42):
Well you should have slept longer. How about some copy?
Speaker 8 (15:45):
No, no thanks, Juice. Nothing for the moment. We we
have things to talk about, well, of course we have,
but I sort of thought we'd keep that for lunch.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
I mean, Pete will be here, and don't you think
he ought to be part of it?
Speaker 8 (16:01):
No, Dad, I don't.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
I won't think that's so fair, princess at all? All right?
If you prefer it Elizabeth? Oh why I can't use
the old name.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It doesn't fit me.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Dad.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
It's not what I am.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
On these islands, and particularly this one, is what you
are at the very least. If we were to ride
the Monarchya way up to the top, you could turn
and look north, east, west, and south, and every bit
of land you saw would.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Be yours.
Speaker 9 (16:33):
Or we'll be some day.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Are you so sure that I own it?
Speaker 9 (16:37):
It's mine, along with a few other things. When I
am gone. Who else would it be except yours and Pete's?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
I don't really know. I'm not sure it's that important
to me. What would happen if I didn't marry Pete?
Speaker 9 (16:56):
I didn't What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Would the Bradley lunch still be mine? And all that
goes with it? If I didn't.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Who else would you marry.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
I didn't expect you off so early, my son. After
the long trip and the lure, it.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Was a perfect morning for surfing.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
When the sun rose, I saw those easy rolling four.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Foots, and I grabbed my board and took.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Off, Happy to be home again in your own land.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yes, in a sense, cutting across those waves out there
gave me back not only my sense of balance, but
just my own plain good sense.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'm happy to hear that. Then today we don't quarrel.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
That's up to you. My dots are all gone.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
I would hope that you tell me you are talking
about Tauarmina. Yes, in part, yes, you will marry her.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Mother listened to me.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I know your pride in race, in bloodline, your struggle
to make sure that it won't die. But when I
left Hawaii to go to UCLA, I was eighteen, Tao
was ten eleven years old.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
We made the promises, we took.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
The vows, but Tao was too young to know what
was involved. I believe then, as you do still, that
our heritage and our race must be preserved.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
But I don't any longer.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You are a Polynesian prince.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
No, I am a citizen of the world, mother, a doctor, race, creed, color, nationalism.
Nothing matters to me but that the human body is
one and the same thing.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
The body made.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Strong or weak by exercise and usage, the brain the
same by education or lack of it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So you will not marry Pawarmina.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
No you think Carter Bradley will share your views except
you as his.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Son in law.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
I'll find that out today. But if he doesn't, we
are both of age. Mother, he can't stop us.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
I wouldn't be too sure of that. And what about me?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I want you to meet les mother. I think you'll
change your mind.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
I will meet her, but I shall not change my mind.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And what will you do?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Then?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Mitia first before we come to that decision.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
When ok, I'll take the.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Jeep into town and call her and I'll drive to
Waya Lua, get her and bring her back.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You're wasting your time, I.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Hope not, because I love you and I want you
to love her too. I'll be back by mid afternoon.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Great tone, help me help me make my son see
that our race shamed and despoiled and.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Buying out, dost have new life?
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Ready to do it?
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Only Makaheene and power Mina can do it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
She's a princess in her own right. Help me, Connie.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
All the smell of doom that comes to me on
the wind from the north will come to.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Here.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Why stable king here and rub him down good?
Speaker 9 (20:19):
I wrote him hard this morning.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
A hey pee, morning TV.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
I'm hungry as a bull. Lunch ready. Yes, there's a
nice breeze off the water, so it chung. Lee set
the two of us up on the front plane. I
two of us our Lizabeth's too sick. Oh, cor let's
go through the house. I have to wash up anyway.
Here's she upstairs? No, she she left quite a bit
(20:45):
before I got here.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
What do you mean sick?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
She was feeling it a lof her feet at breakfast.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Left to go where? Oh Danny Mkaheiney came by and
picked her up. Liz said she'd be back in the
late afternoon.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Queen Luliolani son, Yes, I thought he was at medical
school on the mainland.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
He was.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
He's graduated. He came back on the same plane with
Liz yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I didn't even though she knew him. But I don't
like this about Elizabeth.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
It is a serious in its own way.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
I was going to let her tell you herself, but
maybe as your doctor, it's better if I do it instead.
Come on, man, come on, come on, get it out.
What is it?
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Well, let's sit down for a minute.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
I want to remind you of your condition and that
flying off the handle and losing your temper is the
worst thing you can do.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh, you pill peddlers, you're all profits of doom.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
If you take the pills I provide, you might put
yours off a good deal hard And I say.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Now all right, but don't try to change the subject.
I want to know why Elizabeth went chasing off with makaheiney.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Did they go surfing? Not exactly, Brows.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
You're a common off lover of Pete. Your fiance goes
hairing off with another man her first day back home,
even if he is just a knacker beach.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
Boy, and you just let her go. First, she left
before I got here. Second, he is not a Canica
beach boy. He's a colleague of mine, a doctor of medicine.
And lastly, Elizabeth is not my fiance anymore. What how
do you know? Where did you find that out?
Speaker 7 (22:18):
Yesterday? When I brought her home?
Speaker 9 (22:20):
You turned my daughter down. No, I should have really
in the first place. I'm far too old for all rubbish.
I'm not marrying her cbe and you are not fooling
me one bit.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
P you're still as much in love with Elizabeth as
you've always been. I smell a rat on how Bennet's
Makaheeney is at it is at.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
It where they go to see the Queen. I imagine to
ask her blessing to get.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Married my daughter at a beach war.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
I stopped talking about Danny like that, And don't get
all worked up. It's bad for you. Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I won't get worked up, first of all, because it's
just not going to happen. There'll be no marriage between them,
because if she doesn't stop it, I will, by God
if he as much as.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Dares it is as uricd Now, now just take it easy.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
It's only a temporary Daxie.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
But this time you are going to take one of
my pills.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I'm sorry, my dear.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You're a lovely girl, and I can hardly blame Danny.
But marriage between you is quite impossible. Mother, I haven't finished.
There are reasons beyond reasons why it can never be
your blood is not our blood. Danny is already the
true to Princess tauer Mina. The gods are already angered
(23:46):
and cannot be angered anymore.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
For God's sakes.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Mother, it's the twentieth century, and you are as intelligent
and well read and educated as any woman I know.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Stop acting like some old, ignorant witch.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I am acting as I must because with me are
ancient chords which sing a death and certain.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Doom for two people.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Queen Lily Olani, I respect your point of view.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Do you respect your fathers? Yes?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
But I will give you the same answer as I
would give him. I love Danny. I'm over twenty Danny
is twenty five. There is no way either of you
can stop us. I'd rather it wouldn't be like that,
but Danny and I have agreed.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
She's quite right. Mother.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
We'd give anything to have both you and mister Bradley
with us.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
But if you are not, I cannot give my consent.
I can only warn you if you persist, it will
end in death and disaster.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I have nothing more to say.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
I am going to pray for all of us.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Well, Liz.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
We're almost all the way home and we still haven't
decided just how we're going.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
To go about it.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
I know, Danny, just I don't think we can rush it,
not right now because of death.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
If you want to back out, I'm.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Not holding you to anything, Oh darling, don't do that, honey.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
I hate to get long winded or.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Go chucking my medical knowledge around, but Parkinson's, I mean,
it can and almost always is a long, long process.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
He's going to need me, I mean really need me
for the first time in his life.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
It's a life that could last another twenty years. Are
you asking me to wait that long?
Speaker 8 (25:32):
No? No, yes, there are Oh Danny, I'm so tired,
and I just can't think.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
We're home.
Speaker 8 (25:46):
Give me children law at least?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Sure, Sure, of course, darling.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
It's only now I'm under some pressures of my own.
And if I can't have you, well, I won't break
my mother's heart or towel.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
And tomorrow night is there night.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
I'll talk to Dad tonight. If I can't convince him,
we'll be on our own.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Why not let me do it.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I'm the one seeking your hand, if not your fortune.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I mean, it's up to.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Me, all right, if you what is it?
Speaker 9 (26:22):
He looks as hello, Danny, Elizabeth said inside. But Danny, Liz,
if either of you want to talk to him about
you as a doctor, I'd say, now isn't the time.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
What happened?
Speaker 9 (26:36):
I made a judgment. I thought maybe i'd better tell
him about you too. Did Liz tell you about him?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yeah? Did anything serious happen?
Speaker 9 (26:43):
No, Danny MD to m D. You know how it
can go. He got a bit emotional and suffered some
speech Impairmit, he's all right now, but I wouldn't advise anything.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
I'd better duck out fast before he sees me. I'll
be in touch tomorrow morning, Liz, keep your chin up me.
No real war is about your day, right doctor?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Right?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Just us?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
This too shall pass. I love you till tomorrow, meet.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
You and forever back too. Halloha.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You sure dad's all right?
Speaker 9 (27:20):
If we can keep off a certain subject.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Sure, I don't want I can't do any more talking
about Oh beelp me quick. What is it just something
that nobody but me knows about? Yes, I wonder if
anyone else will.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Ever What new factor could enter a hoped for marriage
which already appears to have everything against it? And what
is the meaning of Liz's cryptic statement expressing a knowledge
(28:04):
that only she has and no one else may ever know.
Is it the same knowledge that Queen Liligorani talks of
as buried in the past, And if she too knows
that ancient gods are to extract penance for buried sins,
who are the two that are doomed or are more
(28:27):
to die in the dreadful natural phenomenon that is at
last about to be unleashed three thousand miles away. I'll
return shortly with Act three. At exactly eight forty two
(28:51):
the following morning, on the island of Hawaii, two final
ultimatums were issued by two irate parents, one of them
by Queen Lily Orlani to her son.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
The gods have been angry enough for years.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Why inner voices tell me what your plan will bring
a great auray upon us.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I see your raging disaster.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Will be set in being that no human being can stop.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
And cut her Bradley to his daughter the next morning,
completely recovered through rest and medication for the moment, Let's
get one thing straight, Princess, and don't interrupt me. I
use the old name deliberately on this island. You o
for the royalty and I'm warning you one thing right now,
go near that makaheeney kanaka again, or let him come
(29:41):
near you, and I'll shut him down like a dog.
I mean not princesses. God is my witness.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
No one or nothing can stop me from doing as
I want.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
On this island.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Whether it was sheer coincidence or whether gods ancient or
contemporary took offense, this was the moment the Titanic explosion occurred,
hurling trillions upon trillions of tons of water at breakneck
speed above the ocean bed. Within six hours, it would
hit the north shore the island of Hawaii head on.
(30:17):
Whether guided by sheer accident or supernatural design, the devastation
it would leave in its wake would be, to say,
the least supernatural.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
Dad, you can't be serious, but I am.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
You couldn't do this to me, doing it for you Romans.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
If you don't marry Pete, I leave everything to him.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
I don't need anything. Daddy can support me. I can work.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
You'll never marry him.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Why are you so set against him?
Speaker 9 (30:49):
It should be obvious enough.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
Nobody could be that prejudiced, that big at it to.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Make sure if he comes near here or you again,
I will shoot him on such, doctor Hughes, Pete.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
It's dad.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
He's had some sort of attack or something.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
I think. All right, Liz, just slow down and tell
me what happened, and don't worry.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
There's no danger.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
I don't mean to be incoherent, but it's just awful
to see him. Listen to him just spluttering and talking
all sorts of nonsense.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I gave him some medication. Did he take it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yes, he's gone upstairs to take it. What is it, Pete.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
It's part of his illness. The speech impairment is one
of the symptoms. Excitement aggravates them. I'll be right out
and let's see if we can figure what to do.
I've given him a sedative that'll keep him quiet for
a couple of hours. Problem one out of the way temporarily.
(31:56):
Now for problem two.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
You there isn't any problem about me. I'd gotta tell
Danny we're through. I can't marry Danny. And what about
the child?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The child?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
You know, yes, but no, I'm not even sure myself.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
When I gave you the sedative yesterday, I took some blood.
There's no doubt about it. Liz, you're pregnant.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Oh lord, now what am I going to do?
Speaker 9 (32:31):
You're going to get in the car with me and
drive to Tupapahu. If anything can change Queen Miliolani's mind,
it's the child.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
So you are already carrying Danny's child.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I do think that will alter things.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
I'm the one who hoped it would.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
I won't give up Danny's babyy, That's one part of it.
No one can take from me.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
You have courage, little Owli, more courage than I had.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
I wouldn't say that. You know what a difference there is.
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Danny would want his child, call him, get him here
and ask him.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I can't.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (33:09):
He left an hour ago for Wailua. I'm surprised you
didn't pass him.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
You must have taken the jeep over the back row.
That's too rough for a car for why Lua Pete.
Speaker 8 (33:18):
We've got to stop him somehow, catch up with him.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
It's too late for that.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
But if he's gone to Wailua, father sees him a killing.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
What is all this?
Speaker 8 (33:26):
My father, Queen the Liulani. He's promised to shoot Danny
on side. Oh please, please, can't you help us somehow?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Why should I?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
It could be your son's life.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
And now aye, and made responsible again for another life,
another son. How history repeats it her.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
But it won't again.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
It's past time for retribution and the gods are coming
to claim it. What do you mean the may how
may hies upon us? I can feel the ripples of
it in my soul.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Stop it like a wave.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
I will cull Brad, grab your father once he meant
everything to me that Danny means to you.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
At the moment the Queen lifted the fam A tanker
plowing across the North Pacific lifted ever so slightly on
a five inch surface swell that was the only sign
of the gargantuan tsunami, the dreadful tidal wave, which swept
by at the speed of sign, hurtling toward the.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
North shore of Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
There, its monstrous energy would pile up the waters to
a height of over eighty feet, driving inland till its
force was spent to be sucked back with such diabolic
speed that it would carry away everything in its path.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Yes, Brad, it's lil lol.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
For pit's sake, how many years.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Twelve thirteen, you sound just the same. I don't look it.
How are you, Brad?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Oh? I don't know, Little, I'm not the man I
once will.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
You'll never change, certainly not for me.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I want to ask you one favor.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
If it's about our child.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Right have I ever asked one from you before?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Oh? Lord knows you haven't.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
It's a matter of life or death. Will you meet
me at the gross.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
If you ask me? How could I refuse?
Speaker 6 (35:56):
If we both leave this minute, we should arrive in
about an hour, and all.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Right there it's it'll be good.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
To see you again if you shut your eyes to
what I have become.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
At least it's dark. I'll see you at the grotto.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
After your mother died, Elizabeth, we were lovers, your father
and I.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
I carried a child of his in my womb.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
But we were ridden with pride of race, each for
his own, and it drove us apart. We could never
be married, and the child well, I thought it was
not meant for me to bear a child of mixed race.
I said goodbye to your father and bear in that
grotto in our temple of love. I aborted and destroyed
(36:48):
our child. I offended the gods. Listen to me, little
hourly princess, you will have your father's blessing.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
As you have mine.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Remember that love my boy, take care of him, bear
his child. Then tar Over will be with us again.
Say goodbye to Danny for me. I cannot urge any longer, Brad.
(37:27):
I thought, if I at last was willing to accept
commingle blood and.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
A child of our families.
Speaker 9 (37:33):
I I can't help myself. Little I am as I am.
I cannot accept any child of my daughters with mixed blood.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
And so you want to kill my boy?
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Not if he stays away from Lizabeth and the child,
all that can be taken care of.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
He will stop the children, make history repeat a terrible
mistake us.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
All over again.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Will I cannot change a changed already?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Look at your hands shaking now, white leaves in the wind.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Ah, that's a different matter. I have Parkinson's disease. I
told you you'd find a different man, not.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
The difference I would have wanted.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Quiet, Come out a little quick. What is it?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Bad kind?
Speaker 9 (38:22):
My god?
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Look at it.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
It's a half a mile on all the fish left
gasping on the rocks.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
A tidal bore.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Is on the way, and a big one.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
I know t Aurora has been telling me all morning.
I could smell the anger of the gods. That's why
I called.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
You here to die dead.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
We cannot stay in the children's way. They're still King, gross,
old woman. Even at your best, you couldn't hoist me
on his back, even with you alone on his back.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It's too late. But I have no right.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
No, try that, try if you can home.
Speaker 9 (39:00):
King, I'm not a little more.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
You're staying.
Speaker 9 (39:08):
We've both been legends in our time. Little, we wouldn't
want to outlive our glory.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I shouldn't have done this to you.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
No, I'm burned out, Little, Thanks for making me realize
that I hadn't much further to go. I only wish
I'd been able to tell Princess, I mean Lizabeth. But
at the last she had my blessing and I love.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
She knows she has ruled my love.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
Yes, But the other how could she ever know?
Speaker 6 (39:41):
I told her so before I left her?
Speaker 9 (39:44):
Oh could you?
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Because I knew what I was going to do. And
I know you bad? Oh, I know you. If ever
any woman knew the man.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
Oh what a fool I was?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
We both?
Speaker 9 (40:01):
And how good have you back?
Speaker 6 (40:05):
So, Nannie, it's coming at last. Afraid I'm going home,
back to where my roots are in the sea to
the south, tall Road, the sea, Gods, we God me
safe and you.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
I go with you as I said at all those
years ago.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Have you you're shaking up for the way we're free,
Me wrong the same and being less than a man.
Speaker 9 (40:36):
It's all id It's as it should be. We couldn't
have each other in life.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
We'll stand together forever in death, all alive. The inexorable
(41:07):
incoming march of the water did little damage compared to
the outgoing surge, which sucked everything into and away with
it like some colossal, unimaginable vacuum cleaner. It left the
beach and the inlet stripped clean, and swept Wailua away
(41:27):
like so many matchsticks. As far as the eye could
see across that northern shore of Hawaii where the wave struck,
and as far as the wave penetrated, not a living
thing was left.
Speaker 9 (41:42):
I'll be back shortly.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Danny and Liz were married, very quietly. There was no
formal funeral either for Queen Liliolani or Carter Bradley, only
a memorial service. Two dynasties were finished, ended, and melded
in the two young people who never took their loving
(42:14):
eyes from each other.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
During the simple wedding service.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
The close was an exchange between bride and groom in
Hawaiian Aloha. Aloha means hello, Aloha means goodbye, but most
of all it means I love you for this. After all,
the terror and Holocaust turns out to be just that
(42:40):
a love story. Our cast included Paul hect Common, Matthews,
Suzanne Grossman, Gordon Gould, Ian Martin. The entire production was
under the direction of Hyman Brown.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
This is e. G.
Speaker 9 (42:54):
Marshall inviting you to return to our mystery theater for
another adventure in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant Dreams.
