Everything Will Be

Normal Again.

What Is That

Supposed To Mean,

That We'll Just

Keep Pretending

It Never Happened?

No, Of Course Not.

Ben, If You'd

Fallen In Love

With Another Woman,

Someone

Flesh And Blood,

I'd Know What To Do.

And I Would

Fight Like Crazy

To Hang On To Us,

To What We Have

Together.

But This?

Liz...

What Am I

Supposed To Do?

Tell Me, Ben.

How Am I Supposed

To Fight A Ghost?

Hey.

Hey.

I Called Your House.

Your Stepmom Said

You Were Out Here.

You Ok?

Yeah.

You Sure?

A Little Bummed.

My Dad Was So Mad.

I Heard.

If I Try It Again,

He'll Probably

Ground Me For Life.

What's His Problem?

Must Be All About

Your Mom's Accident, Huh?

What Do You

Know About It?

Did Malia Tell You?

Well, Not Much.

I Mean, You Know,

Just That There Was

An Accident Out There.

In The Ocean?

That's Just What

I've Always Heard.

Of Course, I Could

Have It All Wrong.

It Wouldn't Be

The First Time.

I Mean, Don't You Know?

What Does Your Dad Say?

Nothing.

That's The Problem.

How Come You Never

Asked Him?

Stupid, Huh?

Not Knowing,

Not Making Him

Tell Me.

It's Not Too Late.

Hey, Gia!

I Was Wondering

If--

Shh! Not Now.

She Can't

Be Disturbed.

Mele:
It's Desperation Time.

Nothing But Trash

Out There.

Concentrate.

O Goddess Hi'iaka,

Ancient Mistress

Of The Ocean,

Pioneer

Surfer Chick,

Our Forbearer,

Our Guide,

We Call Your Name

In...

In The...

Fervent Hope?

Good.

Yeah. In The Fervent

Hope That Tomorrow

Will Bring Us A Day

Of Monstrous Surf.

Gia, Lanea, Mele:

Hi'iaka,

Hi'iaka.

Hi'iaka.

Hi'iaka.

Hi'iaka.

Hi'iaka, Hi'iaka--

Kai:
Charge!

[Girls Screaming]

Lanea:
Stop!

[All Laughing]

Don't Run.

Stop! Cut It Out!

Give Me That,

You Dork.

Yeah, You Think

You're Funny?

Run!

Yeah, That's

What I Thought.

[Laughter]

I Didn't Know

I Was Showing Off.

I Never Got A Chance

To Say Thanks

For Saving My Life.

Hey. I Just

Got There First.

Gia Was Right

Behind Me.

We Weren't Gonna

Let You Drown.

No Way.

Hey. I Made

Something For You.

Don't Get Too Excited.

It's Not Much, But...

Here.

That's Great.

I Love It.

Now When You Get

Back To Chicago,

You Can Show

All Your Friends

What A Hot Dogger

You Are.

They'd Never Buy It,

Not A Chance.

Would You Mind

If I Asked You

A Big Favor?

What?

You Know This Place?

Yeah. The Old

Plantation House--

Uh, Kaala Loa.

It's Abandoned Now.

Nobody Goes Up There

Anymore.

Could You Take Me?

It's Kinda Spooky

Up There.

I Don't Care.

All Right.

But I Gotta Ask You

One Question.

How Well

Do You Ride?

[Shutter Clicking]

Can You Imagine

How Awesome

It Must've Been

When This Place

Was Happening?

There Were Major Luaus.

My Mom Talks

About Them.

On A Full Moon,

They Say You Can

Hear Slack Guitars

Wailing Away.

Oh, Right.

Like This Place Is

Haunted Or Something.

Please.

We Could Find Out.

Next Full Moon,

Camp Up Here?

If You're Not

Too Scared.

Woooo....

Oh, Yeah, Cowboy?

[Laughing]

Hey, Get Back Here!

Oh, Man. Don't

Take My Hat.

Sydney, Catch!

Kona:
Hey, Where

You Going?

Oh, Get Back Here.

Come On, Right Now.

Go For It, Girl.

Run.

All Right.

Give Me The Hat.

No!

Give Me The Hat!

Get Away!

It's My Hat!

Oh!

All Right.

Gia:
What's Going On?

I Think This

Was Her Room...

When She Was Little.

I Think

She Showed It

To Me Once.

Your Mom?

I Can Almost Remember...

When She Brought Me.

I Couldn't Have Been

More Than 2, But...

I Know I Was Here.

The Smell,

That's What

I Remember The Most.

We Wanted You

To See This Right Away.

Not Just Hear It

Over The Telephone.

You Must Think It's

A Pretty Fair Offer.

James:
Tricorp's Acquiesced

About Everything--

Ecological Concerns,

Watershed Issues.

Everybody Gets

What They Want.

We Hope You Have Your

Ivy League College

Picked Out.

They've Given 72 Hours

For A Response.

We're Supposed To

Have An Answer

That Fast?

Bo?

They Like To Keep

The Ball Rolling

On These Deals.

Can't Give You

Too Much Time To Think.

James:
Actually,

It's A Very Generous

Time Frame.

And A Very Generous Offer.

Well, Obviously,

You Think We

Should Accept.

No Concerns?

It's That Good?

Arlene:
My Honest Opinion?

If I Were Sitting

In Your Place,

I Would Grab It

In A Heartbeat.

[Pebbles Clattering

Against Wall]

Hey. What's Going On?

Who's Out There?

Gia:
Sydney?

Gia? What Are

You Guys Doing?

Malia Sent Us.

She Said It's Time.

Come On, Hurry.

[Hawaiian Music Plays]

Hey!

Aloha, Girls.

Hi.

Hey, Mom.

Have Fun.

Yeah, We Will.

Gia:
Come On.

Let's Dance.

Hey.

No, Come On.

Get Back Here.

It's Good.

Try This.

Yeah, She Did It.

[Speaking Hawaiian]

Kona, TRANSLATING:

A Long Time Ago,

In The Time

Of The Double Canoes,

There Was A Girl

In Nu'alolo.

She Was Strong...

And Graceful...

With Firelight

In Her Hair.

She Loved A Boy...

Who Loved Her Back.

But His Father, The King,

Demanded A Test.

Only If She Surfed

The Great Tsunami...

Could She Marry His Son.

The Boy Grew Worried.

No One Had Ever Survived

The Great Tsunami.

The Girl Knew

She Had To Try.

The Meneheunes Took Pity...

And Brought Her The Branch

Of An Iliahi Tree.

"Its Magic

Will Keep You Safe,"

The Little People

Told Her.

So She Paddled Into The Night

For The Giant Wave,

Her Heart Beating Fast.

A Lei Of Iliahi Flowers

Draped Around Her Neck.

Did She Survive?

The Colors

Of The Rainbow Danced

On Their Wedding Day.

Come On! They're Here!

Yeah! They're Here.

They're Here

Come On, The Whales!

They're Here!

Come On! Come On!

Come On!

The Whales Are Here!

It Is Magical.

Thanks For Letting Me

Be A Part Of It.

You Know,

In The Stories,

They Say Our Ancestors

Are Out There

Watching Over Us.

And That The Whales

Move Back And Forth

Between The Two Worlds,

Linking One

To The Other.

That's One

Of The Truths,

Yeah, That We're

All Connected.

Never Alone,

That's Aloha.

Were You There

When It Happened?

My Mom's Accident?

Could You Tell Me

About It?

Do You Really

Want To Know?

That Day The Waves

Were Awesome,

And Naniloa Came Over,

So Excited.

Everything

Was Perfect, So...

We Took The First

Rides Together,

Naniloa Flying Down

These Big Breakers,

Cutting Back

Into The Curl,

A Huge Smile

On Her Face.

That Day Out There,

We Owned The Waves,

Yeah.

Everything

Was Going Perfect.

Then I Guess

We Got Tired,

So We Were Coming In.

I Was In Front.

And All Of A Sudden,

Your Mom's Board

Comes Rocketing Up.

I Looked Back, And I See

This Huge Swell Coming,

And The Waves Stacking

One On Top Of The Other,

Seeing Naniloa Trapped

In The Middle Of It.

She's Caught

In This Current,

And It's Sweeping

Her Down

Towards The Rocks.

Your Father...

Didn't Really Want

To Know What Happened.

He Could Barely

Even Listen.

He Just Wanted

To Get Away,

And Get You Out Of Here.

It's Like...

He Blamed The Islands

For Losing Her.

Your Mom Fought So Hard

In Those Waves

To Get Back To You,

Sydney. That's Why.
