But your source says that

he spends most of his working hours...

Is your Yale degrees supposed to

lead us though the Jungle, Brooks?

My father told me never judge a man

by where he drinks...

Only how he hold it.

You aren't bored with me here?

You go.

Well. Okay.

So, How much did you tell him?

Just Enough to get him to say yes.

Now there is a man worth talking to.

An uncharted island?

Let me list all they ways you gonna die.

Rain, heat, mud, disease carrying flies

and mosquitoes.

Sure you could load up on the

Atabrine for the malaria...

but what about the other bacteria?

I mean how I even started on the things

that want to eat you alive.

We'll double then.

I have no idea how dangerous this is.

I want five times that.

Plus a bonus if we make it back.

If?

Pay him.

I think Mr. Conrad should

be fairly compensating.

Here is to profit during peace.

One question.

You came here looking

for a tracker.

Who or what am I tracking?

This is all the

information that we have.

Okay? There is no map.

Only satellite images.

So we need someone like you...

with your skill, and unique expertise

in unchartered jungle terrain...

To lead us on our ground expedition.

We are just scholers and scientists.

We need someone with experience.

In case things go sideways.

Men go to war in search

of something, Mr. Conrad.

If you would found it...

you would be home by now.

- Weaver.

- Yeah, it's Jerry.

Hey, Jerry.

Tell me, do we get it?

That Landsat thing?

You got it

I did?

Hello?

there is the Athena docked in Bangkok.

Pier 14, 6'o clock tomorrow night.

1800 tomorrow.

Thank you. I really owe you one.

I don't get it. Why do you want a

gig documenting a mapping mission?

When you're at the cover of Time?

Jerry, when three sources

tell you the same thing word for word...

You know they are lying.

There is something going on here,

something that nobody is talking.

BANGKOK, THAILAND

PIER 14

I can not believe we're doing this.

A day away?

One day away!

And no, now we gotta go to another Island...

with another jungle.

Vietnam is not a island, Dumbass.

Key West is...

and that's exactly where

I need to be right now,

with a drink in my hand.

Key West ain't an island, either.

It's a key.

You ain't funny, Cole.

Mason Weaver, photographer.

Mason Weaver is a woman?

last time I checked

Can I help you?

Two years in the country.

Where have you been?

Embedded with MAC V-SOG.

You in the sh*t.

I respect that.

Cause people like you,

lost us support back home.

You aren't actually gonna blame

the people without guns...

For loosing the war, are you?

Camera is way more dangerous than a gun.

And we did not lose the war...
