The Lost City of Z Page #3
where the trails
run out and stop
till a voice,
as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes
on one everlasting whisper
day and night repeated... So?
"Something hidden.
Go and find it.
Go and look behind the ranges...
Something lost
behind the ranges.
Lost and waiting for you.
Go!"
Twenty-nine degrees,
16 minutes south of the equator.
Twenty-nine...
Sixteen.
Rather deadly looking
snake here.
too English for this jungle.
Strangers in a strange land.
Major Fawcett?
Is that you?
- Yes.
- Welcome to Fazenda Jacobina.
Lance corporal Manley, sir.
Liaison to the governor general.
No need to stand on ceremony.
A simple handshake will suffice.
This is Mr. Costin.
I hate to be the bearer
of bad news,
but I have received a telegram
from the border commission.
Go on.
They strongly advise you to...
Abort the mission.
It's become
far too dangerous, sir.
They're already fighting...
Where are
the government offices?
Sir?
Government, sir?
I'm afraid you've left
"government" behind
a long time ago.
In that case, you had better
send them a telegram
informing them that
we will not stand down
and we shall proceed as planned.
How quickly can you find us
an Indian guide?
Well, I...
I had an Indian guide,
sir, but...
Well, what happened to him?
What, was he afraid
of a little hard work?
Not quite, sir.
It's out of my hands now.
You need to speak
to baron De Gondoriz.
He runs the rubber company here.
Good evening, baron.
Thank you for seeing us.
We're from the British army.
We are to be venturing
up the Rio Verde
and find ourselves in need
of some of your men.
In exchange, I promise
very favorable treatment
from my country.
Keep him chained up.
He can't be trusted.
He needs a good beating
every now and again.
Por favor.
You're goin' upriver, are ya?
Yes.
For surveying.
Well...
from up there.
Ever.
Is this slave
good enough for you?
Yes.
- Do you speak English?
- He understands.
We taught him.
What will you take for him
and any four men
of his choosing?
It offends you
to negotiate with me.
- No, not at all.
- Please.
Do not embarrass yourself.
You come here to make maps.
Why is that?
So that there may be peace.
What is peace?
Peace means my business
will flourish.
I will flourish.
Peace means only
that nothing will change.
I will help you
because you will make sure
that nothing will change.
I forgot
to give you this, major.
Came directly here
while you were surveying.
Can you show me how far
the river goes?
Muy bien.
We need three
full rafts and four horses.
Is this our party?
