Maha Chu from the shadow of a great pillar.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
They watch as Wolf pries at the golden disc covering
the Father of Diamonds.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Abruptly, the lid opens.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The vast room is filled with a glaring white light,
which renders the four men powerless to move or speak.
Because of this unhuman power, Tarzan is unable to save
Wolf from death at the hands of one of the
Guardian apes. The spell is broken when the Germans body
falls upon and covers the diamond, and Tarzan kills the
monster in defense of Danno.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Thom And to find his.

Way back to their quarters, enters the apartment in Tira
by mistake and agrees to act as her spy against
his companions. Tarzan and Donald, giving up the search for Tom,
returned to their quarters when they find Margra gone.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Thank Heaven, you've been back, Tarzan. They took Margre, she
been gone?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
They who hit.

A bunch of ghosts? Does hesse harrings? Hey, wurkerp. They
were much full of them, some of them help me.
The others took Marga home and Wolf been gone to
But could you not have used your gun? They took
it away? Welly was it? They took all the rife
of everything. Hey busted a couple of their good looking faces.
(03:42):
But there were two men.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Where did they take her?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
They don't know. He didn't understand their lingo.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
How long ago was this?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Half an hour maybe longer? Don't know what we're going
to do about it.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Finder.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Of course, now that we know how to open these doors.
We can get out in search.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Come on, a.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Momo, Tarzan.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
Could we accomplish by running out there through those many corridors?
Even if we found our way out into the open,
where would we start to set?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Right? Of course you've got to get hold.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Of our exactly moment. But we must wait for him
to come to us. Remember he said he would return.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
The lieutenant pain right, Kazan, Hey don't like it anymore
than you, but well we would be caught and locked
up in.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
The Yfi si Munami.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
If Akiru refuses to tell us where Margre is, we
will force him to lead us to her.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, sure, that in the idea. But they wonder why
they took Tom and Wolf and not me.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Wolf is dead, Larsen, but that Tweugh Dutchman.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
How do you know?
Speaker 7 (04:44):
He was killed before our eyes? And this time Tarzan
could not help him.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Wolf did how Lieutenant?
Speaker 7 (04:53):
He and Tom tried to get the diamond one of
the Guardian apes. Wolf and Tom he got away where
we do not.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Know Wolf's beIN right then he knew it was coming.
He saw the face.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
What's that? Wolf knew what was saw what face?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
When we was brought to this place. You remember Wolf
was looking at something just before we came in the temple.
Margar said, he looked like he was in the trans Yes, well,
he told me he saw his skeleton head swinging. Taught
him when it was opened, he knew that fiery thing
Payne a warning.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
For him death mask.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Hu.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Why didn't he tell us Margaret?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He didn't want to scare her.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The door?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Then the door it is opening, Yes, it's do you
hear Tarvan?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
And you, Danald. I've been searching for you.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That terrible ape killed poor world.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You disappeared very suddenly. We know that Tome I tried
to find you. How did you get back here on
the guard When.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
I was searching for you, I ran into those two guards.
They brought me here. But I do not see Margra.
Where is she?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
We'd like to know that ourselves, Larcen says Asa Harrians
took her while we were in the council chamber watching
you and Wolf try to steal the diamond.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Where did they?
Speaker 5 (06:19):
We do not know.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Hope to find out when our Keru.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
Returns if they harmed that girl?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Say, yes, tom you what you are right?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
What can I do? But we must find he bring
her back.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
You should have thought of that when you went out
and took Wolf to his death.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
And horrible that it was. Yes, had we not gone
after that cursed damage sat them with your tomb.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
But tell us you can't open these doors? And how
is that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The door.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Caro was considered enough to show me? Oh, he did
not know he was doing. So I observed where he
stood and what he did. He placed his hand on
a certain stone, and the doors opened. Does that answer
your question?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We I am satisfied you thought we were asleep. I wasn't.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
I watched you, and I am very glad that you did.
Had you been asleep, I would very likely be with
poor Wolf at this moment.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Meanwhile, through vast, dim corridors and up many flights of
stone steps worn black and smooth by the tread of
countless numbers of sandaled southern feet, Margaret and her shadowy
hesse Herian guard have proceeded to a corridor I am
the temple. Before a small copper door.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
They pause.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
The leader of the escort drops his hand upon a
wall stone. The door swings slowly open.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Before her.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Margaret beholds a room barbarically beautiful in furnishings, hesse Herrian
steps aside motions for the young woman to enter behind her.
The closes with a soft metallic clang.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
Marga, oh thank Heaven, Mark, Helen, Oh Helen.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
We will live to believe that you were not here.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
I'm so glad to see Mark tell me his.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Ball, my dear, Oh cry, We are all here, Lieutenant Danaul,
Wolf Larsen and Attanta would.
Speaker 11 (08:21):
Come and Tarzan, But where are they? How is it
that you are here?
Speaker 9 (08:25):
We are captives, or at least it a months to
the same thing. We were brought here by a man
named Hakiu.
Speaker 11 (08:34):
Oh, yes, yes, I know, Hakaru.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Go on.
Speaker 9 (08:36):
Tarzan looked for you for these when you vanished from
your tent that night. We kept ongoing and found an
ancient cause.
Speaker 11 (08:43):
Oh yes, I know.
Speaker 10 (08:44):
I scratched my name.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
On the wall.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
We found it. Then we followed a road through the
rocky country.
Speaker 11 (08:49):
I came over the same road. Oh, it seems a
long time ago.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
You must have been in our share before we enter
the dow In Bacca region, else Tarzan would have found you.
You see, he did find a piece of your liking
on a leg.
Speaker 11 (09:03):
I left it there, hoping some one would find it.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Well, Tarzan did.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Then we were captured by the Hesy Helen and brought here.
Speaker 11 (09:10):
But why are you here here in this room?
Speaker 10 (09:13):
I do not know.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
The king Sutaine, I think his des ad. I was
placed in a chamber, yes, and then what happened? We
went to sleep. When I woke up, there were guards
in the room. Arsand Dana, Tom and Wolf were gone.
The Hessi Heriens overpowered Larson and brought me here. But
the others, what's happened to them? I do not know,
(09:37):
Probably taken somewhere else, separated from each other.
Speaker 10 (09:41):
I do not know, Helen. But you, my dear, what
has happened to you?
Speaker 11 (09:46):
When I went to our tent that night, I followed
you almost.
Speaker 10 (09:50):
Immediately, but you were gone.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
Or I stepped into the tent, something black and soft
fell over my face. I guess I fainted anyway. When
I came to we were in that cour oswade. We
spent the night there where you found my name on
the wall. They did not owner, They did not touch
me after they put me in the liver, But are
their faces, i'll they frightened me half to death, Those
(10:12):
awful mans cherrible and then they.
Speaker 10 (10:15):
Have brought me here.
Speaker 11 (10:17):
King Sutana had me placed in this room in these clothes.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
I've not been.
Speaker 11 (10:22):
Treated badly, but I'm afraid, terribly afraid.
Speaker 10 (10:27):
Afraid, Helen.

king and.
Speaker 10 (10:35):

They are they the question always.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
But if he is not here, oh weed, the easy
the question with you as they deal with us when
we asked about you.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
He must be here, Helen.
Speaker 11 (10:54):
Now, Margaret, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
At least you and I are together, and we know
that the others will move heaven and earth to get
out and find us.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
We must hope for that. I do not think these
people mean of you and I any her.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Margaret, I am not so sure of that.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
What do you mean? I don't know.

the city of ourshair.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
In the interest of scientific Had it.
Speaker 12 (14:31):
Been so, he would even now be free to come
or go in our city? An honored guest, nay. Brian
Gregory lied to me.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Oh, I don't believe that it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Is true, Helen Gregory.
Speaker 12 (14:42):
Silence, Satiro and thou Helen Gregory, thy brother swore that
he had no wish to possess the great diamond of
the Hessy Hair. Then by a trick he entered the
Great Ceremonial chamber alone at night, A talking ape on
God sprang at him. Brian Gregory pointed a thunstick. It spoke,
(15:04):
and the guardian Ape fell dead.
Speaker 11 (15:06):
Would then save his own life.
Speaker 12 (15:08):
Out He lifted the diamond in its golden dish from
the casket and made for the central doors. He was
caught with the gem and brought back to the sacrificial author.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
But he seems so lifelike.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
It is the punishment meted out to those who attempt
to steal the Father of Diamonds should they escape its
guardians Hi. Brother Helen Gregory was forced to look into
the blinding glare of the gem until he became as
you see him now.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Then he isn't dead, nay.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Yet, he shall continue in this state of suspended animation
until the end of time.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Why demand you're released him from the spell?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Wilder?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Thou wilt do wif? Nay?
Speaker 12 (15:56):
It is impossible, And the matter arrested not alone with me,
but with the counsel of thirteen as well. They, I know,
will not consent to any lessening of Brian Gregory's punishment.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
Have you no idea what will happen to you when
our friends find us?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Ha ha ha ha hi.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
They shall find you, unfortunately for them, but when they do,
it will have very not Margaret nor thee Helen.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Now what do you mean?
Speaker 12 (16:24):
Even now the ceremonies are being planned for thy marriage
with me.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Thou art to be my queen of queens.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
Thou shalt sit at my right hand, and thy beauty
shall be of counterpart to the majesty and glory of myself.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Art to have soutain of that sy hair.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Oh you beast, you why you're a monster.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I'd kill myself.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Such fire when tamed.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
Maketh a royal mate, my hack hero and thou atan
hak hero, shalt have the black kid one, Thou shalt
have magra see me ha kiru.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
My word o Sutan is law.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Who have never seen thousand of the apes in fighting
mood atif Sutan No?
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Nor have I seen him in a laughing mood or
a tearful mood. His moods interests me not nor his
professed great strength.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I have spoken. It is finished.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Thousand has the strength of twenty lions, the speed of
the cunning of the serpent.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
Beware of his wrath.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
Suiting here and with all these he will still be
helpless as a babe when he meeteth the decree of
the Council of thirteen hath.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Their fate been decreed by the Great counsul O sutan.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
Aye, a punishment so terrible that they will pray for
the release of death.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Meanwhile, Tarzan, Donald, Tome, and Larson continue their council of war.
The Swede notn Tom, lies spawled upon a fur covered bench.
Donald paces up and down with short quick steps. Tarzan
leans against the wall, unperturbed and calm, his brow slightly
wrinkled in serious thought.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Hey tell you tis a little cans right. You know
how to get thirty doors. We all know you've been
a friend of nothing. What what they've been going to do?
And we get out of this room.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
I can't tell you from here, but I'll find something
to do.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
May Tarzan I repeat?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Akio said he would return to us and think of
Magra alone somewhere in the city. But to rush out
from now is to strike blindly very well.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
If Akiaro does not return within an hour or two,
I'm going out to find Margaret, and the.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Kio will not speak leading to me.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I know a method which will loosen his tongue wild.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Someone is coming with.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
His ariansir Kunu Waki no tira.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
You don't know what he means, but he is pointing
at you, Tanzan.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
No, no, if you are to many idea what he wants?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
No move you the two.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I don't understand you, my friend, What do you want?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Firkouucky Naughtira?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
I think I understand Tazan, not the words, but his
last word was Tira. He points to you and then
to the open doors. I believe he means for you
to accompany him to an audience with the queen.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That's what I gather. Verry, well, I'll go.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Hey, don't take you better that Tirashi has gotten off
for cold eye.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Nevertheless, if I were Tarzan, I would accept the royal invitation.
She may have something to offer which will be helpful
to Tomarrizon.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Tarzan, but I have ceased absolutely moan that I go
with you.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I'm alone, this is my lieutenant. Go with your Tarzan.
Sometimes two heads being better than run.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Right, Come on, Donald, let's go. So that's been there.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
And we must sit here and do nothing. While Margram
may be in peril of death or worse.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Well, no father to look for trouble. But Marga can
only be in one of two planes. That is, only
two people could count help the king and the queen.
One of them's got her. Hey, bet you.
Speaker 8 (20:36):
You are right?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
And I sit here and talk.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Maybe Marga been right in this building. Sure, I ain't
never see two heart faces than that King and Queen.
Maybe they got Margaret.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
And at Lass and stop you're driving me mad. You
must do something, do something, do you understand?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yea sure, But listen.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
I can open those doors. We shall follow Tarzan and Donald.
Perhaps we may be able to help them.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
That's what I've been waiting for. Tom.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
I think I go wait you then, happy now? And
maybe a card in the corridor. Come wait, I think
you'd better close this door.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
It's sure been dark hair with touched little blue lamps.
Which way do we go.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Through this ceremonial chamber? Those big doors at the end
of the corridor.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Go ahead, But he don't like this place for no good.
If you like plenty ice fust watching me all the time.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
He's a ghostly looking but do not let your imagination
suggest things that do not exist.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Last, and he ain't afraid of anything I can see.
But remember what the native said about this place. It
bein't have woo.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Yeah, press on that light colored stone. It will open
these doors into the ceremonial. Hall Ah, Come, we will
make our way through from column to column. They will
hide us from anyone watching.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Maybe so, but it ain't only eyes looking at me. Now.
He can hear things like a soft wind up in
the trees. How about the doors.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Leave them open. We may not have time to open
them when we come back. Before we leave this hole, Larson,
let me show you where they keep the Father of diamonds.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah, sure, but hurry. There's been no place for larst.

pillars out there. If anyone been here, they can see
us easy.

There is no one here excepting the apes down in
that pit.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
They don't want to see them with ata gun.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
If we could get that casket open and get the
golden disc with a damned I think we might take
it with this eh, and.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And rat carry that thing around while we've been looking
for Tarzan and the Lieutenant.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
We might hide it and come back for it later.

flower who looks at it in some kind of a trend.

coming down from the dark ceiling.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Stay for us side Buddha, the fiery mask of death.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Look it stops swinging now and hangs in the air.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
And makaino com Pasiana.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
You hear that, Tom, it'd been talking to us. Tom.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
This childish trickery does not impress me, nor does it
frighten me.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Him whom the flaming face Look at Sharper in the
Everlasting before.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Did you hear what it says?
Speaker 8 (24:11):
It must have understood you, all right, Larson, control yourself.
The thing is retweeting now you see it is fading,
melting into the shadows.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
It is gone.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Thanks to Lord for that. Tell you torm it he talked.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Englishness a most surprising thing at every strange performance.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
You call it the performance. Well, next time you can
have my seat.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
It is a tree class and it must be a
matter of elementary levitation, which probably means nothing to you,
so forget it.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
If I only could you remember how Wolf saw it
when we first came into the temple. Oh, he was
hypnotized by it, and what happened to him? Hey, peel,
yoursa saying like him? Now? He told me?
Speaker 14 (24:57):
No?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Good for me, Tomar, were you.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
A man of your jungle experience? Larsen should discredit such trickery.
It is based on superstition. You have seen enough of
that among the natives. However, when my mind is once
made up, nothing can change it. I'm going to get
that diamond now.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
My goodness, man, you've been crazy, No, sir, not for
test feet. Hey have got enough.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
But it is worth millions last.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Sure, and what good will that do me if it
ain't been alive to spend it? No? He thank? Hey
go now, Hey, don't want to see that face again.
And they don't like that pit full of apes?
Speaker 8 (25:37):
If I've not told you that does and killed that monster.
If there are others, well we must chance that.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, sure, can you go ahead and get it? It's
been easy now we head it halfway out already. Hey, watch, you.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Are a child lesson the riches of this world come
only to him who is bored enough to take them.
This gem will purchase in Themire, yeah, come and help
me quickly. It will be.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
What made that You're funny talking?
Speaker 6 (26:09):
And let the one of those ape brutes come last
and quicker run.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Meanwhile, Tarzan and Dono have followed the two silent, white
clad hesse Herian guards down a long, dimly lit passage.
They halt before a pair of richly embossed bronze doors.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Did you see which stone the guard pressed?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Darzac, guess Cavalel.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Let the queen do the talking until we know what
she wants.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
As the bronze doors swing wide, the ape man and
Dono see before them a spacious apartment furnished in true
Barbaric magnificence. The little blue flamed wall lamps are legion
in number and flood the room with the soft brilliance.
At the far end of the chamber is a grotesquely
carved bench of black marble, covered with soft skins and furs. Tirah,
(26:57):
daughter of the Sun and Queen of the hesse Hare,
reclines among the firs. Her throat, arms and ankles are
covered with jewel bedecked ornaments of beaten gold. A cold
smile mantles her haughty face as she watches Tarzan and
Darno approach.
Speaker 13 (27:17):
Come ye too from the outer world. Stand before me, Dirah,
daughter of the Sun and Queen of the Heavy Hair.
And why Tarzan of the Apes hast thou brought this
man with thee?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
He is my friend.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Whatever you have to say to me, speak frankly as
you wish.
Speaker 13 (27:37):
But I warn ye, if either thou or thy friend
Tarzan of the Apes think to trick me, it was
better that thou'st never been born.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Your threats are meaningless. Dear Rah, Why did you send
for me thy word? A blunt direct good?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
I shall speak in like manner. Thou canst serve me?
Speaker 3 (27:56):
How what do you want me to do?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
After the guardian ape kill the wood?
Speaker 10 (28:00):
He turned on thee?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
How do you know that?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Ha?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
My sighs are everywhere, Tarzan of the Apes.
Speaker 13 (28:07):
Remember that they told me that thou didst fight and
kill a great talking ape.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Never before had such a.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
Thing being done.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I wouldn't have harmed the strange Mangani if he had
not charged Dano.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
Thou hast done what no one else could do.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
And this is my wish that thou shalt do it
even again.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Tarzan never kills wanton Lay, your daughter of the sun,
only in self defense.
Speaker 13 (28:33):
And this time he will kill not alone to defend himself,
but in defense of all the strangers who are with him.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Aye?
Speaker 13 (28:40):
And if thou and thy friends remain in a share,
thy days of life be numbered, thou wouldst leave this city?
Speaker 11 (28:48):
Well, then bring me the father of diamonds.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I am not interested in the diamonds.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
Thou art mistaken Tarzan of the Apes, Thou hast great
interest in the gym Artef Sutee and his council of
thirteen possess it. Now they're all powerful.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I can do not for thee.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
But with a talisman in my possession, I shall become
ruler here.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
If we you are saying, o Tira, that you wish
this jewel merely so that you may set us free, Nay.
Speaker 10 (29:19):
Paul Donald, that is but a small matter.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Sutan is an evil man, a harsh.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
Ruler, a tyrant.
Speaker 13 (29:25):
When the diamond is mine, a new day of freedom
and happiness will darn for the children.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
Of Hessiheria Ah. I understand. As soon as the stone
is brought to me.
Speaker 13 (29:36):
I shall set thee in nine beyond the walls of
Tuen Bakka free to go where ye will dost thou agree, o, Tarzan.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Before I consider your proposition, you must tell me definitely
is Helen Gregory, and our share is our brother here.
Speaker 13 (29:49):
The artef to ten doth many things, Tarzan of the Apes,
of which I know not. If thou place the gem
in my hands, I will know, I will know all.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Ask about Margaret Dsa. Yes, have these spies of yours told.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
You that Margaret, the woman who was with us when
we stood before you in the ceremonial hall, has also vanished.
The black eyed maid, she has disappeared. Yes, they took
her from our quarters when I was not there.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Verish.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
If I get the diamond, she goes free.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Also, So Suten hath taken this bade.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
Bring me the father of diamonds, and I shall let
you all goatsan.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
I do not must, I don't worry.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
It's a bargain, Hurrah. I'll bring you the diamond in
return for which you will release my friends.
Speaker 10 (30:38):
Thou dost not speak for thyself, tars En of the Ape.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I'm not worried about myself.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
If it were not for those who are with me,
I should have been free long ago.
Speaker 13 (30:46):
Pray words, oh Tarzan, And since thy killing of the
Guardian Ape, I can almost believe thee.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
But have I your word, Tira, that you will keep
your part of the bargain.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
One Scherile's word is given.
Speaker 13 (31:02):
However, bring me the father of diamonds and you shall
see go now.
Speaker 10 (31:07):
I await their return with the talisman.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Back in the Great Ceremonial Hall.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
The fierce guttral jabbering of the Guardian Ape sends Home
and Larsen running at top speed into the first corridor
they find.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
But they're following us. Tom, we are safe. I hope
they told you not to monkey with that diamond again.
Hey don't know, rich bonworse the firing mascer for those
yelling apps.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
He had out of it for the time being.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
But I am going to have that gem stop.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Listen someone being called me and they got no gun.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Nor place to hide. Lastly, we have to fight here
back again to the wall. We shall do the best
we can see. Can you get much? Cannot be trusted?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Hey? Look, Tenn Hasan, Why Jim he been looking.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
For you and last night, what are you two doing here?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
We followed you thinking you might need us.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Have you seen Tira, Yes, and accepted her proposition.
Speaker 8 (32:14):
So she did make you a proposition.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
If I bring her the diamond, she will set us
all free by him, and that being good news.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
But to wait, Lawson.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
She does not know anything about Helene or Margra, at
least so she says. But I am convinced that she
is lie.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
She does not know where Margre is.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Margret's capture or abduction seems to have been a surprise
to her. Don't worry. We won't leave without Margra or Helen.
If she is here, you too should not have left
our quarters. We've had enough disappearances, I thought, Pasan. I
made one more attempt to get the diamond.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, sure, and that same face a fire came down
from the scene and told us catch beaver be dead
before the next full moon.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Clever piece of levitation, darnod, well done, I admit, but
nothing to fear. When the disappeared, I tried once more
to lift the golden disc from the casket when one
of the.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Eights of one of course talking eighth began Yaprin and aprigen.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Run and I believe I led the race from the
chamber well, and here we are.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
We're going back there and get that diamond, and we'll
all go to Tira with it.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Maybe upan corn, but not this sweet one splint plant.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Will not be foolish, laws on, I will face an
hundred wild lips with Tarzan.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Come on, we're wasting time.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
As the four men approached the center of the vast
ceremonial haul, Tarzan motions the others to remain in the
shadow of one of the great stone columns. Then, noiseless
as a stalking leopard, he draws near the white marble casket.
He raises the heavy carved lid, leans over to lift
out the great golden dish. As he does so, not
one but two of the great cleopis quite makes your
(33:51):
going wildly leap from a pick and charge.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Straight for corn.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Welcome back, well another solid three chapters, though probably at
the start of part twenty eight, is one of the
greatest examples of patting we've had in the series, as
the announcer recapped events of previous episodes, and then we
(34:23):
got a bit of Darno recapping the same events for
person that could have been timed up, but other than that,
very solid. And of course Tarzan ends up with a
new quest and is finally given a reason to care
about the mcguffin.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Of the story.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Now do I trust the Queen?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Not at all.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
In fact, again, it's been so many years since I've
listened to this story that I don't remember all the details.
So if I'm doing anything for memory, I don't remember it.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
But I would be willing to.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Take a stab that Brian Gregory didn't steal or try
to steal the father of Diamonds for greed. And so
this is not her first rodeo, and by rodeo, of course,
I mean not in the common way of saying it
as not her first time using an outsider to try
(35:31):
to steal a diamond to overthrow and then kill her husband. Now,
the King's voice did sound familiar, obviously there was a
bit of an effort to make the voice sound foreign,
but I can't say one hundred percent for sure who
it was. Maybe Henley Stafford. Poor Lawson just kind of
(35:56):
is getting dragged into things. Not a particularly strong personality,
although he did manage to tell Tom no when he
was trying to press for them to continue stealing the diamond,
and despite all that Tom said about it just being
(36:19):
superstitious nonsense. As Tobe of Soul said, he was the
first one out Meg of that what you will. But
obviously we are getting towards the endgame, only nine episodes
to go. I should note the first positive thing I've
actually heard about wolf is that Wolfe tried to hide
(36:41):
his fear in order to avoid frightening Magra. Well, we
turn now to listener comments and feedback, and we start
on Spotify with comments on the episode beginning with the
Cave of the Dinosaurs and Mechanics sixty six rides, Well,
(37:03):
they jumped the shark parentheses dinosaur in that episode. I
was really enjoying this series, but now it went in
the direction that it did not so much. Even when
this was made, they do dinosaurs. It didn't exist twenty
five thousand years ago. At least that's my assumption without
spending the time to google it. I'm not certain where
(37:23):
the twenty five thousand year figure came from myself. Certainly
that wasn't like a mainstream number back in the nineteen thirties.
But the story does reflect a lot of adventure fiction
from around that time, things like the Lost World Bias
(37:44):
or Arthur Conan Doyle that imagine some dinosaurs survived even
in modern times in oscolated locations. In fact, I think
you can still find movies and television programs that are
influenced by that. But I appreciate you checking out the serial,
(38:05):
even if it took a turn you didn't like. And
I don't know, maybe you'll come back for a future
iteration of Tarzan, because they don't all involve dinosaurs. In fact,
I don't think we've had a entias soar since then.
Regarding this episode, Harrison riots as they say that escalated quickly,
and that certainly applies here. I haven't been much of
(38:28):
a fan of Tarzan before this, but I'm finding the
storytelling well done. Well, thanks so much, Harrison. Then we
have a comment from YouTube from Jeffrey who rits the accents,
and this is on the previous episodes. The accents of
the voice actors representing the natives is pretty bad. Trying
(38:51):
to figure what nationality they were trying to sound as
they may be trying to sound idiots, but at times
they sound like those of American Indians. Well that's a
good observation. Now, to be clear, this episode was before
(39:11):
we met any Hessei Harian, so Jeffery's not talking about that.
The Hessi Harrian accents are relatively easy because you can't
really say that doesn't sound Hessy Harrian, or that sounds
like you're doing someone from the wrong area of Hessi hair.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
That's the great thing.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
About fictitious accents, though if everybody starts doing their own.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Thing, it gets a bit confusing.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
But I think this is referring to the natives in
terms of the bearers, and with those accents, I think
what you're hearing is kind of a case of playing
it by ear, you know. Certainly to an extent, the
performance may have been influenced by some of the early
jungle pictures. But again this is being recorded andeen thirty four,
(40:01):
so only a few years after the jazz singer, so
it's not like that as a well established genre. So
some of it may be imagination and some of it
may be in some cases an actor making the choice, Okay,
well I'll go ahead and lean into the American Indian
(40:23):
sort of accent, which we would be more familiar with.
So the native accents fair enough. Criticism on those now
it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day,

eight through thirty day to July sixteenth, eighteenth, and twentieth
(00:51):
of nineteen thirty four. Let's go ahead and take a listen.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Arsan and the Diamond the Bush Air, Tarzan and Dno
(02:25):
have followed Tom and Wolf the audience chamber of the
Temple of.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Maha Chu from the shadow of a great pillar.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
They watch as Wolf pries at the golden disc covering
the Father of Diamonds.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Abruptly, the lid opens.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The vast room is filled with a glaring white light,
which renders the four men powerless to move or speak.
Because of this unhuman power, Tarzan is unable to save
Wolf from death at the hands of one of the
Guardian apes. The spell is broken when the Germans body
falls upon and covers the diamond, and Tarzan kills the
monster in defense of Danno.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Thom And to find his.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Way back to their quarters, enters the apartment in Tira
by mistake and agrees to act as her spy against
his companions. Tarzan and Donald, giving up the search for Tom,
returned to their quarters when they find Margra gone.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Thank Heaven, you've been back, Tarzan. They took Margre, she
been gone?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
They who hit.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
A bunch of ghosts? Does hesse harrings? Hey, wurkerp. They
were much full of them, some of them help me.
The others took Marga home and Wolf been gone to
But could you not have used your gun? They took
it away? Welly was it? They took all the rife
of everything. Hey busted a couple of their good looking faces.
(03:42):
But there were two men.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Where did they take her?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
They don't know. He didn't understand their lingo.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
How long ago was this?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Half an hour maybe longer? Don't know what we're going
to do about it.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Finder.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Of course, now that we know how to open these doors.
We can get out in search.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Come on, a.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Momo, Tarzan.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
Could we accomplish by running out there through those many corridors?
Even if we found our way out into the open,
where would we start to set?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Right? Of course you've got to get hold.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Of our exactly moment. But we must wait for him
to come to us. Remember he said he would return.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
The lieutenant pain right, Kazan, Hey don't like it anymore
than you, but well we would be caught and locked
up in.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
The Yfi si Munami.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
If Akiru refuses to tell us where Margre is, we
will force him to lead us to her.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, sure, that in the idea. But they wonder why
they took Tom and Wolf and not me.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Wolf is dead, Larsen, but that Tweugh Dutchman.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
How do you know?
Speaker 7 (04:44):
He was killed before our eyes? And this time Tarzan
could not help him.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Wolf did how Lieutenant?
Speaker 7 (04:53):
He and Tom tried to get the diamond one of
the Guardian apes. Wolf and Tom he got away where
we do not.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Know Wolf's beIN right then he knew it was coming.
He saw the face.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
What's that? Wolf knew what was saw what face?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
When we was brought to this place. You remember Wolf
was looking at something just before we came in the temple.
Margar said, he looked like he was in the trans Yes, well,
he told me he saw his skeleton head swinging. Taught
him when it was opened, he knew that fiery thing
Payne a warning.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
For him death mask.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Hu.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Why didn't he tell us Margaret?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He didn't want to scare her.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The door?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Then the door it is opening, Yes, it's do you
hear Tarvan?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
And you, Danald. I've been searching for you.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That terrible ape killed poor world.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You disappeared very suddenly. We know that Tome I tried
to find you. How did you get back here on
the guard When.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
I was searching for you, I ran into those two guards.
They brought me here. But I do not see Margra.
Where is she?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
We'd like to know that ourselves, Larcen says Asa Harrians
took her while we were in the council chamber watching
you and Wolf try to steal the diamond.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Where did they?
Speaker 5 (06:19):
We do not know.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Hope to find out when our Keru.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
Returns if they harmed that girl?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Say, yes, tom you what you are right?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
What can I do? But we must find he bring
her back.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
You should have thought of that when you went out
and took Wolf to his death.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
And horrible that it was. Yes, had we not gone
after that cursed damage sat them with your tomb.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
But tell us you can't open these doors? And how
is that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
The door.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Caro was considered enough to show me? Oh, he did
not know he was doing. So I observed where he
stood and what he did. He placed his hand on
a certain stone, and the doors opened. Does that answer
your question?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We I am satisfied you thought we were asleep. I wasn't.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
I watched you, and I am very glad that you did.
Had you been asleep, I would very likely be with
poor Wolf at this moment.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Meanwhile, through vast, dim corridors and up many flights of
stone steps worn black and smooth by the tread of
countless numbers of sandaled southern feet, Margaret and her shadowy
hesse Herian guard have proceeded to a corridor I am
the temple. Before a small copper door.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
They pause.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
The leader of the escort drops his hand upon a
wall stone. The door swings slowly open.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Before her.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Margaret beholds a room barbarically beautiful in furnishings, hesse Herrian
steps aside motions for the young woman to enter behind her.
The closes with a soft metallic clang.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
Marga, oh thank Heaven, Mark, Helen, Oh Helen.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
We will live to believe that you were not here.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
I'm so glad to see Mark tell me his.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Ball, my dear, Oh cry, We are all here, Lieutenant Danaul,
Wolf Larsen and Attanta would.
Speaker 11 (08:21):
Come and Tarzan, But where are they? How is it
that you are here?
Speaker 9 (08:25):
We are captives, or at least it a months to
the same thing. We were brought here by a man
named Hakiu.
Speaker 11 (08:34):
Oh, yes, yes, I know, Hakaru.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Go on.
Speaker 9 (08:36):
Tarzan looked for you for these when you vanished from
your tent that night. We kept ongoing and found an
ancient cause.
Speaker 11 (08:43):
Oh yes, I know.
Speaker 10 (08:44):
I scratched my name.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
On the wall.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
We found it. Then we followed a road through the
rocky country.
Speaker 11 (08:49):
I came over the same road. Oh, it seems a
long time ago.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
You must have been in our share before we enter
the dow In Bacca region, else Tarzan would have found you.
You see, he did find a piece of your liking
on a leg.
Speaker 11 (09:03):
I left it there, hoping some one would find it.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Well, Tarzan did.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
Then we were captured by the Hesy Helen and brought here.
Speaker 11 (09:10):
But why are you here here in this room?
Speaker 10 (09:13):
I do not know.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
The king Sutaine, I think his des ad. I was
placed in a chamber, yes, and then what happened? We
went to sleep. When I woke up, there were guards
in the room. Arsand Dana, Tom and Wolf were gone.
The Hessi Heriens overpowered Larson and brought me here. But
the others, what's happened to them? I do not know,
(09:37):
Probably taken somewhere else, separated from each other.
Speaker 10 (09:41):
I do not know, Helen. But you, my dear, what
has happened to you?
Speaker 11 (09:46):
When I went to our tent that night, I followed
you almost.
Speaker 10 (09:50):
Immediately, but you were gone.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
Or I stepped into the tent, something black and soft
fell over my face. I guess I fainted anyway. When
I came to we were in that cour oswade. We
spent the night there where you found my name on
the wall. They did not owner, They did not touch
me after they put me in the liver, But are
their faces, i'll they frightened me half to death, Those
(10:12):
awful mans cherrible and then they.
Speaker 10 (10:15):
Have brought me here.
Speaker 11 (10:17):
King Sutana had me placed in this room in these clothes.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
I've not been.
Speaker 11 (10:22):
Treated badly, but I'm afraid, terribly afraid.
Speaker 10 (10:27):
Afraid, Helen.
Speaker 11 (10:29):
Dear are the Queen and the King Sudan, particularly the
king and.
Speaker 10 (10:35):

Speaker 11 (10:37):

They are they the question always.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
But if he is not here, oh weed, the easy
the question with you as they deal with us when
we asked about you.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
He must be here, Helen.
Speaker 11 (10:54):
Now, Margaret, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
At least you and I are together, and we know
that the others will move heaven and earth to get
out and find us.
Speaker 10 (11:04):
We must hope for that. I do not think these
people mean of you and I any her.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Margaret, I am not so sure of that.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
What do you mean? I don't know.

I'm sorry. I fainted, Margaret.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Both of you be seated. What is thy?
Speaker 12 (14:21):
We shall make clear to the maid the cause for
her brother's punishment. Helen Gregory, Why came thy brother to
the city of ourshair.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
In the interest of scientific Had it.
Speaker 12 (14:31):
Been so, he would even now be free to come
or go in our city? An honored guest, nay. Brian
Gregory lied to me.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Oh, I don't believe that it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Is true, Helen Gregory.
Speaker 12 (14:42):
Silence, Satiro and thou Helen Gregory, thy brother swore that
he had no wish to possess the great diamond of
the Hessy Hair. Then by a trick he entered the
Great Ceremonial chamber alone at night, A talking ape on
God sprang at him. Brian Gregory pointed a thunstick. It spoke,
(15:04):
and the guardian Ape fell dead.
Speaker 11 (15:06):
Would then save his own life.
Speaker 12 (15:08):
Out He lifted the diamond in its golden dish from
the casket and made for the central doors. He was
caught with the gem and brought back to the sacrificial author.
Speaker 9 (15:19):
But he seems so lifelike.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
It is the punishment meted out to those who attempt
to steal the Father of Diamonds should they escape its
guardians Hi. Brother Helen Gregory was forced to look into
the blinding glare of the gem until he became as
you see him now.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Then he isn't dead, nay.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Yet, he shall continue in this state of suspended animation
until the end of time.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Why demand you're released him from the spell?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Wilder?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Thou wilt do wif? Nay?
Speaker 12 (15:56):
It is impossible, And the matter arrested not alone with me,
but with the counsel of thirteen as well. They, I know,
will not consent to any lessening of Brian Gregory's punishment.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
Have you no idea what will happen to you when
our friends find us?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Ha ha ha ha hi.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
They shall find you, unfortunately for them, but when they do,
it will have very not Margaret nor thee Helen.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Now what do you mean?
Speaker 12 (16:24):
Even now the ceremonies are being planned for thy marriage
with me.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Thou art to be my queen of queens.
Speaker 12 (16:32):
Thou shalt sit at my right hand, and thy beauty
shall be of counterpart to the majesty and glory of myself.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Art to have soutain of that sy hair.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Oh you beast, you why you're a monster.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I'd kill myself.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Such fire when tamed.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
Maketh a royal mate, my hack hero and thou atan
hak hero, shalt have the black kid one, Thou shalt
have magra see me ha kiru.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
My word o Sutan is law.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Who have never seen thousand of the apes in fighting
mood atif Sutan No?
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Nor have I seen him in a laughing mood or
a tearful mood. His moods interests me not nor his
professed great strength.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I have spoken. It is finished.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Thousand has the strength of twenty lions, the speed of
the cunning of the serpent.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
Beware of his wrath.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
Suiting here and with all these he will still be
helpless as a babe when he meeteth the decree of
the Council of thirteen hath.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Their fate been decreed by the Great counsul O sutan.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
Aye, a punishment so terrible that they will pray for
the release of death.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Meanwhile, Tarzan, Donald, Tome, and Larson continue their council of war.
The Swede notn Tom, lies spawled upon a fur covered bench.
Donald paces up and down with short quick steps. Tarzan
leans against the wall, unperturbed and calm, his brow slightly
wrinkled in serious thought.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Hey tell you tis a little cans right. You know
how to get thirty doors. We all know you've been
a friend of nothing. What what they've been going to do?
And we get out of this room.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
I can't tell you from here, but I'll find something
to do.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
May Tarzan I repeat?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Akio said he would return to us and think of
Magra alone somewhere in the city. But to rush out
from now is to strike blindly very well.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
If Akiaro does not return within an hour or two,
I'm going out to find Margaret, and the.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Kio will not speak leading to me.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I know a method which will loosen his tongue wild.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Someone is coming with.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
His ariansir Kunu Waki no tira.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
You don't know what he means, but he is pointing
at you, Tanzan.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
No, no, if you are to many idea what he wants?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
No move you the two.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I don't understand you, my friend, What do you want?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Firkouucky Naughtira?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
I think I understand Tazan, not the words, but his
last word was Tira. He points to you and then
to the open doors. I believe he means for you
to accompany him to an audience with the queen.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That's what I gather. Verry, well, I'll go.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Hey, don't take you better that Tirashi has gotten off
for cold eye.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Nevertheless, if I were Tarzan, I would accept the royal invitation.
She may have something to offer which will be helpful
to Tomarrizon.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Tarzan, but I have ceased absolutely moan that I go
with you.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I'm alone, this is my lieutenant. Go with your Tarzan.
Sometimes two heads being better than run.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Right, Come on, Donald, let's go. So that's been there.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
And we must sit here and do nothing. While Margram
may be in peril of death or worse.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Well, no father to look for trouble. But Marga can
only be in one of two planes. That is, only
two people could count help the king and the queen.
One of them's got her. Hey, bet you.
Speaker 8 (20:36):
You are right?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
And I sit here and talk.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Maybe Marga been right in this building. Sure, I ain't
never see two heart faces than that King and Queen.
Maybe they got Margaret.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
And at Lass and stop you're driving me mad. You
must do something, do something, do you understand?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yea sure, But listen.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
I can open those doors. We shall follow Tarzan and Donald.
Perhaps we may be able to help them.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
That's what I've been waiting for. Tom.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
I think I go wait you then, happy now? And
maybe a card in the corridor. Come wait, I think
you'd better close this door.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
It's sure been dark hair with touched little blue lamps.
Which way do we go.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Through this ceremonial chamber? Those big doors at the end
of the corridor.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Go ahead, But he don't like this place for no good.
If you like plenty ice fust watching me all the time.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
He's a ghostly looking but do not let your imagination
suggest things that do not exist.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Last, and he ain't afraid of anything I can see.
But remember what the native said about this place. It
bein't have woo.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Yeah, press on that light colored stone. It will open
these doors into the ceremonial. Hall Ah, Come, we will
make our way through from column to column. They will
hide us from anyone watching.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Maybe so, but it ain't only eyes looking at me. Now.
He can hear things like a soft wind up in
the trees. How about the doors.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Leave them open. We may not have time to open
them when we come back. Before we leave this hole, Larson,
let me show you where they keep the Father of diamonds.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah, sure, but hurry. There's been no place for larst.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Larson this way to listen to rule. Yeah, you see
that white casket.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
That's where it been, Eh, But there have been no
pillars out there. If anyone been here, they can see
us easy.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
There is no one here excepting the apes down in
that pit.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
They don't want to see them with ata gun.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
If we could get that casket open and get the
golden disc with a damned I think we might take
it with this eh, and.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And rat carry that thing around while we've been looking
for Tarzan and the Lieutenant.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
We might hide it and come back for it later.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Hey, tat there been something about that stone holds a
flower who looks at it in some kind of a trend.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
And we shall leave the diamond in the disc take
the entire thing. What do you say? Shall we try?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Eh?
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Here is the casket. Come if you can with the lid.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Well, all right, but let's hurry in and get away
from her that pit there. Don't leurt to me.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Come help me with this lid.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, sure, he'd been Stop Tom, pet look up there,
coming down from the dark ceiling.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Stay for us side Buddha, the fiery mask of death.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Look it stops swinging now and hangs in the air.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
And makaino com Pasiana.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
You hear that, Tom, it'd been talking to us. Tom.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
This childish trickery does not impress me, nor does it
frighten me.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Him whom the flaming face Look at Sharper in the
Everlasting before.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Did you hear what it says?
Speaker 8 (24:11):
It must have understood you, all right, Larson, control yourself.
The thing is retweeting now you see it is fading,
melting into the shadows.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
It is gone.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Thanks to Lord for that. Tell you torm it he talked.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Englishness a most surprising thing at every strange performance.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
You call it the performance. Well, next time you can
have my seat.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
It is a tree class and it must be a
matter of elementary levitation, which probably means nothing to you,
so forget it.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
If I only could you remember how Wolf saw it
when we first came into the temple. Oh, he was
hypnotized by it, and what happened to him? Hey, peel,
yoursa saying like him? Now? He told me?
Speaker 14 (24:57):
No?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Good for me, Tomar, were you.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
A man of your jungle experience? Larsen should discredit such trickery.
It is based on superstition. You have seen enough of
that among the natives. However, when my mind is once
made up, nothing can change it. I'm going to get
that diamond now.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
My goodness, man, you've been crazy, No, sir, not for
test feet. Hey have got enough.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
But it is worth millions last.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Sure, and what good will that do me if it
ain't been alive to spend it? No? He thank? Hey
go now, Hey, don't want to see that face again.
And they don't like that pit full of apes?
Speaker 8 (25:37):
If I've not told you that does and killed that monster.
If there are others, well we must chance that.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, sure, can you go ahead and get it? It's
been easy now we head it halfway out already. Hey, watch, you.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Are a child lesson the riches of this world come
only to him who is bored enough to take them.
This gem will purchase in Themire, yeah, come and help
me quickly. It will be.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
What made that You're funny talking?
Speaker 6 (26:09):
And let the one of those ape brutes come last
and quicker run.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Meanwhile, Tarzan and Dono have followed the two silent, white
clad hesse Herian guards down a long, dimly lit passage.
They halt before a pair of richly embossed bronze doors.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Did you see which stone the guard pressed?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Darzac, guess Cavalel.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Let the queen do the talking until we know what
she wants.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
As the bronze doors swing wide, the ape man and
Dono see before them a spacious apartment furnished in true
Barbaric magnificence. The little blue flamed wall lamps are legion
in number and flood the room with the soft brilliance.
At the far end of the chamber is a grotesquely
carved bench of black marble, covered with soft skins and furs. Tirah,
(26:57):
daughter of the Sun and Queen of the hesse Hare,
reclines among the firs. Her throat, arms and ankles are
covered with jewel bedecked ornaments of beaten gold. A cold
smile mantles her haughty face as she watches Tarzan and
Darno approach.
Speaker 13 (27:17):
Come ye too from the outer world. Stand before me, Dirah,
daughter of the Sun and Queen of the Heavy Hair.
And why Tarzan of the Apes hast thou brought this
man with thee?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
He is my friend.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Whatever you have to say to me, speak frankly as
you wish.
Speaker 13 (27:37):
But I warn ye, if either thou or thy friend
Tarzan of the Apes think to trick me, it was
better that thou'st never been born.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Your threats are meaningless. Dear Rah, Why did you send
for me thy word? A blunt direct good?
Speaker 6 (27:53):
I shall speak in like manner. Thou canst serve me?
Speaker 3 (27:56):
How what do you want me to do?
Speaker 6 (27:58):
After the guardian ape kill the wood?
Speaker 10 (28:00):
He turned on thee?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
How do you know that?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Ha?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
My sighs are everywhere, Tarzan of the Apes.
Speaker 13 (28:07):
Remember that they told me that thou didst fight and
kill a great talking ape.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Never before had such a.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
Thing being done.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I wouldn't have harmed the strange Mangani if he had
not charged Dano.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
Thou hast done what no one else could do.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
And this is my wish that thou shalt do it
even again.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Tarzan never kills wanton Lay, your daughter of the sun,
only in self defense.
Speaker 13 (28:33):
And this time he will kill not alone to defend himself,
but in defense of all the strangers who are with him.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Aye?
Speaker 13 (28:40):
And if thou and thy friends remain in a share,
thy days of life be numbered, thou wouldst leave this city?
Speaker 11 (28:48):
Well, then bring me the father of diamonds.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I am not interested in the diamonds.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
Thou art mistaken Tarzan of the Apes, Thou hast great
interest in the gym Artef Sutee and his council of
thirteen possess it. Now they're all powerful.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I can do not for thee.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
But with a talisman in my possession, I shall become
ruler here.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
If we you are saying, o Tira, that you wish
this jewel merely so that you may set us free, Nay.
Speaker 10 (29:19):
Paul Donald, that is but a small matter.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Sutan is an evil man, a harsh.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
Ruler, a tyrant.
Speaker 13 (29:25):
When the diamond is mine, a new day of freedom
and happiness will darn for the children.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
Of Hessiheria Ah. I understand. As soon as the stone
is brought to me.
Speaker 13 (29:36):
I shall set thee in nine beyond the walls of
Tuen Bakka free to go where ye will dost thou agree, o, Tarzan.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Before I consider your proposition, you must tell me definitely
is Helen Gregory, and our share is our brother here.
Speaker 13 (29:49):
The artef to ten doth many things, Tarzan of the Apes,
of which I know not. If thou place the gem
in my hands, I will know, I will know all.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Ask about Margaret Dsa. Yes, have these spies of yours told.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
You that Margaret, the woman who was with us when
we stood before you in the ceremonial hall, has also vanished.
The black eyed maid, she has disappeared. Yes, they took
her from our quarters when I was not there.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Verish.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
If I get the diamond, she goes free.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Also, So Suten hath taken this bade.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
Bring me the father of diamonds, and I shall let
you all goatsan.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
I do not must, I don't worry.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
It's a bargain, Hurrah. I'll bring you the diamond in
return for which you will release my friends.
Speaker 10 (30:38):
Thou dost not speak for thyself, tars En of the Ape.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I'm not worried about myself.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
If it were not for those who are with me,
I should have been free long ago.
Speaker 13 (30:46):
Pray words, oh Tarzan, And since thy killing of the
Guardian Ape, I can almost believe thee.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
But have I your word, Tira, that you will keep
your part of the bargain.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
One Scherile's word is given.
Speaker 13 (31:02):
However, bring me the father of diamonds and you shall
see go now.
Speaker 10 (31:07):
I await their return with the talisman.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Back in the Great Ceremonial Hall.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
The fierce guttral jabbering of the Guardian Ape sends Home
and Larsen running at top speed into the first corridor
they find.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
But they're following us. Tom, we are safe. I hope
they told you not to monkey with that diamond again.
Hey don't know, rich bonworse the firing mascer for those
yelling apps.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
He had out of it for the time being.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
But I am going to have that gem stop.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Listen someone being called me and they got no gun.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Nor place to hide. Lastly, we have to fight here
back again to the wall. We shall do the best
we can see. Can you get much? Cannot be trusted?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Hey? Look, Tenn Hasan, Why Jim he been looking.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
For you and last night, what are you two doing here?
Speaker 6 (32:08):
We followed you thinking you might need us.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Have you seen Tira, Yes, and accepted her proposition.
Speaker 8 (32:14):
So she did make you a proposition.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
If I bring her the diamond, she will set us
all free by him, and that being good news.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
But to wait, Lawson.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
She does not know anything about Helene or Margra, at
least so she says. But I am convinced that she
is lie.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
She does not know where Margre is.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Margret's capture or abduction seems to have been a surprise
to her. Don't worry. We won't leave without Margra or Helen.
If she is here, you too should not have left
our quarters. We've had enough disappearances, I thought, Pasan. I
made one more attempt to get the diamond.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, sure, and that same face a fire came down
from the scene and told us catch beaver be dead
before the next full moon.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Clever piece of levitation, darnod, well done, I admit, but
nothing to fear. When the disappeared, I tried once more
to lift the golden disc from the casket when one
of the.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Eights of one of course talking eighth began Yaprin and aprigen.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Run and I believe I led the race from the
chamber well, and here we are.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
We're going back there and get that diamond, and we'll
all go to Tira with it.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Maybe upan corn, but not this sweet one splint plant.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Will not be foolish, laws on, I will face an
hundred wild lips with Tarzan.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Come on, we're wasting time.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
As the four men approached the center of the vast
ceremonial haul, Tarzan motions the others to remain in the
shadow of one of the great stone columns. Then, noiseless
as a stalking leopard, he draws near the white marble casket.
He raises the heavy carved lid, leans over to lift
out the great golden dish. As he does so, not
one but two of the great cleopis quite makes your
(33:51):
going wildly leap from a pick and charge.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Straight for corn.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Welcome back, well another solid three chapters, though probably at
the start of part twenty eight, is one of the
greatest examples of patting we've had in the series, as
the announcer recapped events of previous episodes, and then we
(34:23):
got a bit of Darno recapping the same events for
person that could have been timed up, but other than that,
very solid. And of course Tarzan ends up with a
new quest and is finally given a reason to care
about the mcguffin.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Of the story.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Now do I trust the Queen?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Not at all.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
In fact, again, it's been so many years since I've
listened to this story that I don't remember all the details.
So if I'm doing anything for memory, I don't remember it.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
But I would be willing to.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Take a stab that Brian Gregory didn't steal or try
to steal the father of Diamonds for greed. And so
this is not her first rodeo, and by rodeo, of course,
I mean not in the common way of saying it
as not her first time using an outsider to try
(35:31):
to steal a diamond to overthrow and then kill her husband. Now,
the King's voice did sound familiar, obviously there was a
bit of an effort to make the voice sound foreign,
but I can't say one hundred percent for sure who
it was. Maybe Henley Stafford. Poor Lawson just kind of
(35:56):
is getting dragged into things. Not a particularly strong personality,
although he did manage to tell Tom no when he
was trying to press for them to continue stealing the diamond,
and despite all that Tom said about it just being
(36:19):
superstitious nonsense. As Tobe of Soul said, he was the
first one out Meg of that what you will. But
obviously we are getting towards the endgame, only nine episodes
to go. I should note the first positive thing I've
actually heard about wolf is that Wolfe tried to hide
(36:41):
his fear in order to avoid frightening Magra. Well, we
turn now to listener comments and feedback, and we start
on Spotify with comments on the episode beginning with the
Cave of the Dinosaurs and Mechanics sixty six rides, Well,
(37:03):
they jumped the shark parentheses dinosaur in that episode. I
was really enjoying this series, but now it went in
the direction that it did not so much. Even when
this was made, they do dinosaurs. It didn't exist twenty
five thousand years ago. At least that's my assumption without
spending the time to google it. I'm not certain where
(37:23):
the twenty five thousand year figure came from myself. Certainly
that wasn't like a mainstream number back in the nineteen thirties.
But the story does reflect a lot of adventure fiction
from around that time, things like the Lost World Bias
(37:44):
or Arthur Conan Doyle that imagine some dinosaurs survived even
in modern times in oscolated locations. In fact, I think
you can still find movies and television programs that are
influenced by that. But I appreciate you checking out the serial,
(38:05):
even if it took a turn you didn't like. And
I don't know, maybe you'll come back for a future
iteration of Tarzan, because they don't all involve dinosaurs. In fact,
I don't think we've had a entias soar since then.
Regarding this episode, Harrison riots as they say that escalated quickly,
and that certainly applies here. I haven't been much of
(38:28):
a fan of Tarzan before this, but I'm finding the
storytelling well done. Well, thanks so much, Harrison. Then we
have a comment from YouTube from Jeffrey who rits the accents,
and this is on the previous episodes. The accents of
the voice actors representing the natives is pretty bad. Trying
(38:51):
to figure what nationality they were trying to sound as
they may be trying to sound idiots, but at times
they sound like those of American Indians. Well that's a
good observation. Now, to be clear, this episode was before
(39:11):
we met any Hessei Harian, so Jeffery's not talking about that.
The Hessi Harrian accents are relatively easy because you can't
really say that doesn't sound Hessy Harrian, or that sounds
like you're doing someone from the wrong area of Hessi hair.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
That's the great thing.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
About fictitious accents, though if everybody starts doing their own.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Thing, it gets a bit confusing.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
But I think this is referring to the natives in
terms of the bearers, and with those accents, I think
what you're hearing is kind of a case of playing
it by ear, you know. Certainly to an extent, the
performance may have been influenced by some of the early
jungle pictures. But again this is being recorded andeen thirty four,
(40:01):
so only a few years after the jazz singer, so
it's not like that as a well established genre. So
some of it may be imagination and some of it
may be in some cases an actor making the choice, Okay,
well I'll go ahead and lean into the American Indian
(40:23):
sort of accent, which we would be more familiar with.
So the native accents fair enough. Criticism on those now
it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day,
and I want to go ahead and thank Jim and
Rachel Patreon supporters since March to twenty sixteen, currently supporting
the podcast at the secret Agent.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
