Previous Episode
The Temple, from a story by H.P. Lovecraft adapted by Julie Hoverson (19 Nocturne Boulevard reissue of the week)
The crew of a U-Boat in the Great War find some danger runs very very deep
CAST
Cap. Karl Heinrich - Rick Lewis Lt. Keinze - J. Hoverson Crew: Shawn Connor & Bryan Hendricksen
Music by: Kevin MacLeod (Incompetech.com)
Recorded with the assistance of Ryan Hirst of Neohoodoo Studio Editing and Sound: Julie Hoverson Cover Art - Brett Coulstock
"What kind of a place is it? Why it's a U-boat of the Kaiserliche Marine - can't you tell?" ______________________________________________________________
THE TEMPLE
Cast:
Lieutenant Commander Karl HEINRICH, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, Lieutenant-Commander in the Imperial German Navy, Prussian (mid 30s?)
Lieutenant Jurgen KIENZE, second in command, "womanish Rhinelander" (30)
Boatswain MULLER, elderly "superstitious Alsatian swine"
SCHMIDT [mid 20s - goes mad]
ZIMMER [mid 20s - leads delegation to get rid of idol]
BOHIN [mid 20s - goes mad]
RAABE [early 20s - engineer]
SCHNEIDER [early 20s - engineer]
OLIVIA Did you have any trouble finding it? What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a U-Boat of the Kaiserlich Marine, can't you tell? (That's World War I, for all you younger folks...)
[My apologies for any mischaracterization of Germans - it's all from Lovecraft's original text. His complete lack of knowledge of U-Boats also - But I had to leave in the portholes to support the story. Any mistakes in military etiquette of the time are probably mine, though.]
MUSIC
SCENE 1.
AMBIANCE U-BOAT ENGINE
SEAMEN [murmuring voices]
SOUND HATCH OPENS, CLANGING FOOTSTEPS
KIENZE Achtung! Kapitanleutnant Heinrich on deck!
SEAMEN [instantly silent]
HEINRICH [commanding, slightly angry sounding] Ser gut! I have been reviewing the log regarding the sinking of the British freighter Victory, and I must say [getting ominous] that you are - most definitely - [spitting out the words] the single, absolute, most efficient U-boat crew in the Atlantic. [laughs] At ease, at ease.
SEAMEN [Excited chatter]
KIENZE I myself cannot wait to view the film we took.
HEINRICH Ya, ya. [aside] The camera was off before we sank the lifeboats?
KIENZE As always, Kaleu.
SOUND HEARTY CLAP ON SHOULDER
HEINRICH Most excellent. Come Kienze, I have a bottle of some fine Schnapps. You must help me celebrate.
MUSIC in then under
SCENE 2.
HEINRICH [on a recording, tired sounding] On August 20, 1917, I, Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, Lieutenant-Commander in the Imperial German Navy and in charge of the submarine U-29, deposit this bottle and record in the Atlantic Ocean at a point to me unknown but probably about North Latitude 20 degrees, West Longitude 35 degrees, where my ship lies disabled on the ocean floor.
MUSIC HAS FADED OUT
SCENE 3.
SFX SUBMARINE SURFACES
SOUND HATCH OPENS
AMBIANCE CALM SEA, OCCASIONAL BIRDS
SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON METAL
HEINRICH [grunt - stretching noise] There is nothing like the first step out on deck after a victory, eh?.
KIENZE A "Victory"? [chuckles] Ya. Very amusing.
MULLER [off] Kaleu, sir! Come!
SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON METAL
HEINRICH What could be so-- Oh!
MULLER He must be from the Victory, sir!
KIENZE Alive?
HEINRICH Don't be foolish, Kienze, we were far too long submerged. He would have had a better chance if he let go and braved the waves. [shouting off] Remove the corpse!
[NOTE - red text will come back at the end in echoes]
ZIMMER Sir! His hands are in a death grip!
HEINRICH Fingers break more easily than railings.
ZIMMER [hesitantly] uh... Aye sir!
SOUND POUNDING NOISES
HEINRICH [sanctimonious] One more victim of the unjust war of aggression the English schweinhunds are waging upon the Reich.
KIENZE Truly, he is our victim. Nothing more.
HEINRICH You do not see the whole picture - [amused] Just like a soft-headed Rhinelander. If you were a solid Prussian like myself--
SEAMEN [OFF - NOISE OF AN ALTERCATION]
HEINRICH Vas is los? Go and see.
SOUND FOOTSTEPS ON METAL
KIENZE What is this? What is this? Achtung!
SOUND SCRAMBLE OF MEN GETTING TO THEIR FEET
KIENZE What is so very exciting?
ZIMMER Sir! Schmidt took something from the pocket of the ... [gulp] d-dead one.
KIENZE Schmidt? Would you show this to me?
SCHMIDT It is nothing, Leutnant.
KIENZE I will judge that. Give it me. [beat] Well, this is... certainly something. I am confiscating it - now put that over the side.

HEINRICH So?

I know you don't want to listen to this old fuddy-duddy all night, [waits for laughter, which is scarce] [fading into background] but I have a few announcements that have to be made. Emergency exits are at the front and back of the room, should there be any ...um, emergency.
LYN You're sure Andy'll still be coming tonight?
BARB Oh, sure...maybe he'll even try to get me back, wouldn't that be a riot?
LYN Yeah. [no]
BARB [to Tina] Hey Tina! Where're you going? The night's still young!

BARB [nastily] Hot date?
TINA [gasp] I-- I-- Oh!
SOUND DASHES AWAY
BARB [considering] Hmm.
LYN Why are you so harsh to your friends?
BARB Oh, please. Any guy she can't bring to prom isn't worth dating.
LYN Maybe she has to pick him up from work or something.
BARB [scorn] Work? Tscha. [up] Ooh! Jake!
LYN Don't leave me!
BARB I'm your cousin, not your babysitter. Andy'll be around somewhere.
MR. PEABODY [fading back in] Finally. The only washrooms that are available are the ones in the locker rooms. The school is locked, so no matter how long the lines are, you have to wait.

SOUND FEET QUICKLY SHUFFLE PAST
CHICK Who's that?
DUDE That's the [up] freak [down, fading out] who's all obsessed with his damn woodshop project.

HAL [slightly muffled] I don't have anything else to wear. I was gonna just--
