Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,850
MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON
2
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:15,656
1854, East African Coast
3
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:49,175
That's quite an arsenal
- It is for hunting.
4
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:54,659
Who will hunt here. The coast
is closed. Hostile tribes.
5
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:03,490
I am on leave from the Indian Army, Sir.
- Lieutenant Speke ...
6
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:08,694
John Hanning Speke.
- I know the name.
7
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:12,779
Your father was the Highness Sheriff of Somerset?
8
00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:18,691
There is a party going inland as some kind
of survey of the Royal Geographical Society.
But it is out of my jurisdiction
9
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:23,178
Would you introduce me to its leader
- Does not seem a good idea.
10
00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:28,170
Captain Richard Burton,
travel writer. He's a fool.
11
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:02,773
I'm looking for Captain Burton.
- He's in the mosque.
12
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:07,974
He can be anywhere among this bunch.
Tends to mingle ...
13
00:05:25,740 --> 00:05:30,370
Please, wait ... I was told Captain Burton
might be here.
14
00:05:44,180 --> 00:05:49,777
So lieutenant, you left home
at 17 and never returned.
15
00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:51,572
Why?
16
00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:54,852
My oldest brother administers the
family property..
17
00:05:55,060 --> 00:06:00,339
If we find gold inland
you will have property yourself.
18
00:06:00,540 --> 00:06:06,012
Is that why you go?
- The captain is interested by tribal practicses.
19
00:06:06,220 --> 00:06:08,415
Take these lasses here?
20
00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:13,740
For centuries Somali women had been circumsied,
the men believes, it keeps the wives at home,
where they belong.
21
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:19,617
Burton has single handely disproved
that theory.
22
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,694
And of course there's the Nile
23
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:30,577
All have guessed:
Ptolemy, Caesar, Napoleon.
24
00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:33,977
The greatest river in the world.
25
00:06:34,180 --> 00:06:36,933
Will it dry up?
- Where does it begin?
26
00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:42,976
Every Westerner's curisoty had been met
with torture, mutilation and death.
27
00:06:43,180 --> 00:06:46,855
The river is shrouded in mystery.
28
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:51,611
Who will be the first
to discover it's source?
29
00:06:51,820 --> 00:06:55,574
Which of our goals
do you favour ,Speke?
30
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:02,928
To march inland,
You will need help.
31
00:07:03,140 --> 00:07:07,099
I brought many guns
32
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:20,097
April 21st.
33
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:25,294
Native legend says that, the i>
Nile's source lies deep in the interior. i>
34
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:29,493
They call the place Mountains of the i>
Moon. i>
35
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,009
It is ironic that I well choose to explore the unknown i>
36
00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:37,214
and bear the personal responsibility i>
for the exploitation of my follow up. i>
37
00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:43,416
For those who control the river, i>
and thus all the nations who depend upon it for it's waters. i>
38
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:47,693
We are moving inland tomorrow i>
our funds and provisions remain meagre. i>
39
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:53,975
But we have taken in a subordinate,an English Lieutenant Speke, i>
who brings with him more guns and ammunition. i>
40
00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:42,975
Look.
41
00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:47,492
A brown eagle.
It's a fine specimen, don't you think?
42
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:52,012
This is not an expedition for sport.
43
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:56,577
More .. Put on more wood.
44
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:03,375
What is the matter?
45
00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:07,778
Some strange tribesmen followed me
as I walk back to camp.
46
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:11,495
What did they look like?
- I couldn't see clearly.
47
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:15,659
Did they carry lances?
48
00:09:15,860 --> 00:09:20,980
Did they have their faces painted?
- They kept their ditance.
49
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:26,971
You should understand Lieutenant that close
observation is not only a part of our duty.
In Africa it means survival.
50
00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:30,889
What did I do particularly threatening
51
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:36,094
You look what you are:
A white and an intruder.
52
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:40,975
Enough.
53
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:51,737
Keep two more sentinels tonight
54
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:04,972
I heard that the tribes of this area
castrate their victims.
55
00:10:05,180 --> 00:10:08,968
That's a pleasant thought
before bedtime.
56
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:22,772
Lieutenant?
- Yes?
57
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:27,576
May I come in?
How is your feet?
58
00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:32,808
Splendidly callous.
But I assure you I am quite ready.
59
00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:36,695
I thought you might want this.
60
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:40,654
Acacias roots,
Good for hardening the skin.
61
00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:53,050
Good night, Dick.
- Good night, Jack.
62
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,219
Wake Up. Wake Up.
63
00:12:29,420 --> 00:12:33,254
Stand! - I have no ammunition.
- Stand I say, Let us secure a retreat.
64
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:39,099
There are too many.
- Let us go to the water.
65
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:52,419
Where's Speke?
66
00:16:56,820 --> 00:17:00,699
Stop here.
Exactly here.
67
00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:07,854
Head on.
68
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:12,653
I will be along shortly.
69
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:43,176
Be careful with that, Tom.
70
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:14,819
I didn't want you to see me get out of the carriage
this way. My wounds will heal quite soon.
71
00:18:16,580 --> 00:18:20,255
You look splendid, John.
72
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:38,211
When the wound is festering,
I think there is a whole lot of pus.'
- Perhaps, we should lance it soon.
73
00:18:38,420 --> 00:18:43,414
You assured me, that this small operation
would not leave any scars.
74
00:18:43,620 --> 00:18:49,490
"Then, what is this?
He's's a butcher, that's what he is.
75
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:54,216
Should be prohibited from practicing.
- Who was that?
76
00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:02,617
When did you get back?
Where did this happen?
77
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:09,692
I've repaired myself. You will
proud of your old mate.
78
00:19:17,820 --> 00:19:20,892
This last journey, Edward ...
79
00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:26,733
Bungled.
80
00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:30,410
Two friends killed
and many bearers.
81
00:19:30,620 --> 00:19:34,295
One young lieutenant horribly wounded.
82
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:38,698
A good man.
- There are many good men in my profession too.
83
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:44,691
Africa is so vast.It won't be explored
in our life times.
84
00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:52,178
The Nile is an obsession and I need to go back
and I want you to come with me.
85
00:19:52,380 --> 00:19:55,690
Medicine is my obsession.
You know that.
86
00:19:55,900 --> 00:20:02,658
If you returned with some bizarre fungus growing from
your armpit, you would have to find an another doctor.
I can't come
87
00:20:05,780 --> 00:20:09,898
Sorry that I pressed you this way.
88
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:13,570
I'll sleep here.
- Sleep in the bedroom?
89
00:20:13,780 --> 00:20:18,808
I'll be quite comfortable on the couch.
- What if we have guests?
90
00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:24,094
I'm a Geographer ...
I navigate.
91
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:29,215
And Sir Gentlemen, We are much grateful to Captain
Burton for his activities in Africa ...
92
00:20:29,420 --> 00:20:33,493
where our distinguished colleague
Dr. David Livingstone continues to work.
93
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,817
The resources of the Nile ..
94
00:20:37,020 --> 00:20:39,136
its certain treasures ...
95
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:42,810
await discovery.
96
00:20:43,020 --> 00:20:47,411
It gives me pleasure to introduce
Captain Richard Burton.
97
00:20:55,820 --> 00:21:01,690
So I thank the Royal Gegoraphical Society for it's support.
If our small exercusion ended abruptly...
98
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:07,020
and I am convinced that a larger fully armed expedition
will bring us the success we so much desire.
99
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:11,133
Research is already underway
to determine the safest route.
100
00:21:12,460 --> 00:21:17,739
Since no white man has ever penetrated this area
We are so much at the mercy of Arab information.
101
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:22,536
The source of the Nile and the mysteries
of Central Africa remained to be found.
102
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:29,771
Major effort now I am sure would be to the glory of
the Society and Her Majesty the Queen.
103
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:34,778
Well done, Richard.
104
00:21:38,540 --> 00:21:41,930
Father, How well do you know the Speke family?
105
00:21:42,140 --> 00:21:44,973
I cannot hear you.
106
00:21:45,180 --> 00:21:51,210
Burton wants to finance another expedition.
- Burton will bring the Society the biggest success.
Remember that.
107
00:21:51,420 --> 00:21:56,130
Does people like him? -Surely. You should not
be resentful because his publisher is someone else.
108
00:21:56,340 --> 00:21:59,935
Burton's is Irish.
- And Livingstone is a Scott.
-Entirely different matter
109
00:22:00,140 --> 00:22:03,735
Dr.Livingstone is our
most esteemed Christian missionary.
110
00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:07,296
You haven't met Speke, have you?
111
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:22,259
Je suis la! La f�te commence!
112
00:22:34,340 --> 00:22:38,572
One of your fans ...
- Algernon Swinburne.
113
00:22:38,780 --> 00:22:43,808
I was wondering Captain Burton why you didn't return
to England after your exploit in Mecca.
114
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:50,209
You should have be knighted.
- Better to be knighted in Cairo with prostitutes.
115
00:22:52,140 --> 00:22:57,578
Better to be knighted in Cairo
than to be knighted in London.
116
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:19,818
Lady Houghton...
- Richard, May I introduce you to Isabel Arundell.
117
00:23:20,020 --> 00:23:24,969
Isabel, Our guest of honor,
Capit�n Richard Burton.
118
00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:30,652
I caution you, Richard ...
She knows a good deal about you.
119
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:39,856
I brought this volume along, in the hope
that you would inscribe it.
- Which volume?
120
00:23:40,060 --> 00:23:45,612
Instructions on the use of bayonet and the sword'.
- Strange choice.
121
00:23:45,820 --> 00:23:51,895
Why not one of my travel episodes?
- In theory the only book of yours my parents will permit me to keep.
122
00:24:01,340 --> 00:24:04,696
My book.
- You don't want me to sign it?
123
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:10,372
I do want you to sign it.I do.
Thank you.
124
00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:25,018
Done.
- Thank you.
125
00:24:30,340 --> 00:24:33,616
'To innocence and virtue ".
126
00:24:33,820 --> 00:24:38,450
What impertinence ...
- You were in the Royal Geographical Society.
127
00:24:38,660 --> 00:24:42,653
They have their rules.
I was ejected.
128
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:48,415
Not without a struggle, I recall.
129
00:24:50,860 --> 00:24:54,330
Now Burton tell us about the real Africa.
130
00:24:54,540 --> 00:24:58,328
Did you kill many men?
- My Lord, Who is this dandy??
131
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:02,533
I always want wit,
elegance and beauty at my table.
132
00:25:02,740 --> 00:25:06,176
And in this case ...
...replace the beauty at once.
133
00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:11,010
I was wondering if you enjoyed using
your famous swords on the natives?
134
00:25:11,220 --> 00:25:17,295
In Africa Sir, a sword or spear as blunt
as your wit, would be useless indeed.
135
00:25:21,740 --> 00:25:25,130
Ladies and gentlemen ...
136
00:25:25,340 --> 00:25:30,539
To our host, Lord Houghton.
To his eccentric tastes.
137
00:25:30,740 --> 00:25:38,215
And average wine.
- Thank you.
138
00:25:38,420 --> 00:25:42,379
May I recommend you some of my tailors.
139
00:25:42,580 --> 00:25:46,095
You are indeed lawyer, the most direct of all politicians.
140
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:50,737
Fashion have changed a bit in the last decade.
141
00:25:54,140 --> 00:25:58,850
Do I look absurd?
- In a word ... Yes
142
00:26:26,260 --> 00:26:32,096
You know, My husband is very wordly.
It can be difficult at times.
143
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:36,088
If I were a man ...
144
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:40,054
I will like to be Richard Burton.
145
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:47,774
Where was this? Here?
- I found it behind those books.
146
00:26:55,580 --> 00:26:58,299
Want to dance?
Thank you.
147
00:27:25,660 --> 00:27:30,939
I just discovered a few things
I didn't know about you.
148
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:33,938
Tell me.
149
00:27:34,140 --> 00:27:38,736
Well, You are for example
an ungainly dancer.
150
00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:58,495
The man who finds the Niles source will become more famous,
more honor, than any carrer officier in the army .
151
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:05,776
It's the last great price. John will become rich
through the sale of books that my father and I will publish.
152
00:28:07,540 --> 00:28:10,338
May I confine in you?
153
00:28:10,540 --> 00:28:15,933
In all these years he has been
away, I have received two or maybe three letters.
154
00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:20,930
He has great difficulty in writing.
And this man, Burton ...
155
00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:23,574
I know my way.
156
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:33,576
"Are you all right , John?
- I have problem balancing the stone.
157
00:28:33,780 --> 00:28:36,658
Let me help you.
- No.
158
00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:44,014
You are amazing.
159
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:47,371
I want to ride tomorrow.
160
00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:50,174
Of course, we'll go together.
161
00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:01,579
Your brother carries with him that wonderful
odour of fresh farm dung.
162
00:29:15,740 --> 00:29:20,131
Tell me your impression of Burton?
163
00:29:20,340 --> 00:29:26,688
Those who served him, loved him.
But he often rebukes unnecessarily.
164
00:29:32,780 --> 00:29:37,854
He was responsible for your wounds.
165
00:29:38,060 --> 00:29:40,813
Perhaps.
166
00:29:41,020 --> 00:29:44,057
But it was worth it.
167
00:29:44,260 --> 00:29:48,731
Never before had I such a
sense of purpose.
168
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:54,492
You OK?.
169
00:29:58,740 --> 00:30:02,016
I'm fine, Lowry.
170
00:30:16,340 --> 00:30:19,537
Stop scratching. It is healing.
171
00:30:19,740 --> 00:30:24,450
I tried to enlist with the nursing corp.
- For Crimea?
172
00:30:24,660 --> 00:30:30,212
Florence Nightingale, she said,I am too inexperienced.
Patients have been spared
173
00:30:32,940 --> 00:30:37,934
You studied hypnotism, didn't you?
- With a yogi in Rajasthan.
174
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:42,770
Does it relieve pain?
- And boredom
175
00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:45,778
Try it.
176
00:30:45,980 --> 00:30:50,212
Here in the botanical gardens?
- Yes you can.
177
00:30:55,340 --> 00:30:57,615
Concentrate.
178
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,733
Concentrate.
179
00:31:09,460 --> 00:31:14,090
You will relax ...
Your mind will empty.
180
00:31:34,180 --> 00:31:38,093
Here in the botanical gardens?
181
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:52,217
Please, father. If we make a contribution to
the Royal Geographical Society ...
182
00:31:52,420 --> 00:31:56,732
They wil have to accept Speke and we will have
exclusive rights to publish his findings.
183
00:31:56,940 --> 00:32:01,536
But you already suggested that he is semi illiterate.
- Your son is .....
184
00:32:03,940 --> 00:32:06,818
Your son is a skilled editor.
185
00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:10,729
John Hanning Speke is English.
Burton is not.
186
00:32:10,940 --> 00:32:15,411
Now surely, the public prefers its own hero
from a good English family.
187
00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:19,374
Is your primary interest in Speke,
Business?
188
00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:26,218
Sign.
189
00:32:33,620 --> 00:32:38,011
Where did you tell your parents, you will be out tonight?
- At the opera.
190
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:41,292
Which one?
- Mozart.
191
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:44,810
Don Juan.
192
00:32:48,540 --> 00:32:53,933
You once wrote, that you've inspected a lover
in Cairo with a candle .
193
00:32:54,140 --> 00:33:00,215
Don't remember. You made me forget
all other women.
194
00:33:00,420 --> 00:33:06,416
The memories will return, I'm sure.
In the name of science ...
195
00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:26,257
What is it?
196
00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:34,619
I want to meet your parents.
You must prepare the way.
197
00:33:34,820 --> 00:33:39,610
You must have a small amount of preparation to do,
Richard.
198
00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:50,413
I suppose you hunt in Africa?
- When I need food.
199
00:33:50,620 --> 00:33:53,851
I am also fond of hunting, myself.
200
00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:59,817
It's a fine sport indeed. Brings out a man's.
skill and daring under perilous circumstances.
201
00:34:00,020 --> 00:34:02,818
Have you ever shot a lion?
202
00:34:03,020 --> 00:34:07,298
No. .. just partridges.
203
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:12,290
Yours a vagabond life.
In dusty faraway places.
204
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:19,019
I often live in tents, yes, but to observe
the native customs and ways of behaviour.
205
00:34:19,220 --> 00:34:24,419
Is that the English policy?
- No, but it should be.
206
00:34:24,620 --> 00:34:29,011
How many languages do you speak?
- 23.
207
00:34:29,220 --> 00:34:33,691
And some Turkish dialects from Bermia.
208
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:37,688
And what of religion?
209
00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:43,896
Religion, I have seen a man raised
from the dead in India.
210
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:46,660
I have kissed the holy stone in Kaba and Mecca.
211
00:34:46,860 --> 00:34:51,650
I have read the Confucius, the Koran
and the Kabbalah in the orginal manuscripts.
212
00:34:51,860 --> 00:34:57,810
As for my own
spiritual progress ... I'm working on it.
213
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:02,013
You take this.
214
00:35:02,220 --> 00:35:07,010
Maybe gone for how long
Who knows?
215
00:35:14,940 --> 00:35:19,411
It will keep you safe.
- Bye, Isabel.
216
00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:23,215
Farewell, My love.
217
00:36:46,540 --> 00:36:49,373
Sir,I am very much strong.
I have got good legs for walking.
218
00:36:49,580 --> 00:36:52,458
No, I said no.
Not you.
219
00:36:59,220 --> 00:37:01,176
Wait here.
220
00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:10,610
Sir, I know languages.
221
00:37:10,820 --> 00:37:15,257
Kiswahili, the Desert people
and the Mountains of the Moon.
222
00:37:15,460 --> 00:37:22,138
Do you know the Mountains of the Moon?
- Yes, and my father has seen big water.
223
00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:25,298
What's Jemadar got against you?
224
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:31,609
Well, he is giving me orders but he is not my Sultan.
So I make him to bite him.
225
00:37:31,820 --> 00:37:37,213
So you bit the Jemadar?
- Yes, I am Sidi Bombay the soldier.
226
00:37:37,420 --> 00:37:42,733
You just give me a English uniform .
I would very much go with you.
227
00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:52,255
Will you help me pick good honest men?
- Very Much.
228
00:37:52,460 --> 00:37:57,739
All your maps have vast land spaces.
-To the South, Burton.
229
00:37:57,940 --> 00:38:02,536
Follow the ancient slave routes.
They maybe safer.
230
00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:12,057
Jemadar would not be in charge of the caravan.
- Then put yourself in charge, Jack.
231
00:38:12,260 --> 00:38:15,332
Yes, very well.
232
00:38:15,540 --> 00:38:17,974
I've already have.
233
00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:22,378
That young man is here because he
wants to return to England with sucess.
234
00:38:22,580 --> 00:38:26,858
But you, I think you enjoy
the days of your life.
235
00:38:27,060 --> 00:38:32,578
Make no mistake ... I mean,
to have success, as well.
236
00:38:32,780 --> 00:38:37,729
In this wilderness, you will find
only Allah's terrible whims
237
00:38:50,620 --> 00:38:56,650
Dear Isabel, We would be the first i>
white me to approach the interior. i>
238
00:38:56,860 --> 00:39:01,058
We were preceded by reputation i>
as colonial slave traders. i>
239
00:39:01,260 --> 00:39:04,935
Our bearers i>
are fearful of attack. i>
240
00:39:05,140 --> 00:39:10,772
We have been warned of the fevers and the madness i>
that awaits us . i>
241
00:39:10,980 --> 00:39:14,370
Soon i>
we will will cross 1000 miles in 100 days. i>
242
00:39:14,580 --> 00:39:19,529
Hopefully it won't take longer, since I neglected i>
to bring more than one walking suit. i>
243
00:39:19,740 --> 00:39:24,530
Love, Richard. i>
244
00:40:16,660 --> 00:40:18,935
It's a Chronometer.
.
245
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:23,338
Actually it is a highly accurate clock.
- Yes, I can see that.
246
00:40:23,540 --> 00:40:29,536
In a few days topography will change.
We may lose sight of the trail.
247
00:40:29,740 --> 00:40:35,337
I'll teach how to take your position.
- Yes, of course.
248
00:40:35,540 --> 00:40:38,850
Here, clumsy.
249
00:40:39,060 --> 00:40:42,370
Do it this way.
250
00:41:23,220 --> 00:41:25,654
My God, Human flesh.
251
00:41:37,740 --> 00:41:40,652
My first Lion ...
Rifle.
252
00:41:40,860 --> 00:41:46,253
Don't shoot those beauties, Jack.
I'll see if I can drive them off.
253
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:49,338
Leave him.
He is a escaped slave.
254
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:54,853
I will stay here, Dick ...
just in case you fail.
255
00:43:47,660 --> 00:43:51,335
He fears to go back in the direction
we travel.
256
00:43:51,540 --> 00:43:54,737
But you saved him so he is
very much your servant.
257
00:43:54,940 --> 00:44:00,890
Ask him about his two set of ears.
- Oh, This is magic man.
258
00:44:08,740 --> 00:44:13,939
Yes, He has very much ears.
He can listen to the voices of the dead.
259
00:44:14,140 --> 00:44:16,415
Nonsense.
260
00:44:31,020 --> 00:44:34,899
He has not seen white man before.
261
00:45:33,140 --> 00:45:37,770
Sir, Some people they are stealing.
Your servants.
-What.
262
00:45:43,060 --> 00:45:45,813
Come back, Thief
263
00:45:46,020 --> 00:45:49,092
Stop,I know who you are.
264
00:46:04,220 --> 00:46:07,496
Return, that's mine.
265
00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:13,730
It's a bit crude, but in conjunction with
the chronometer it tells the longitude.
266
00:46:13,940 --> 00:46:20,209
Last night 13 bearers deserted. We lost most of
our guns and most of our food supply seems gone.
267
00:46:20,420 --> 00:46:24,015
I will organize an hunting party.
268
00:46:27,340 --> 00:46:30,810
What does he hears,
I want to know.
269
00:46:31,020 --> 00:46:36,413
Last night he heard many voices.
He says, they speak of you.
270
00:46:36,620 --> 00:46:39,418
What did they say?
271
00:46:44,940 --> 00:46:48,410
They tell this man, that you
will take his heart away.
272
00:46:48,620 --> 00:46:51,976
And what does he suppose that means?
273
00:46:59,220 --> 00:47:02,098
He cannot say.
274
00:47:24,340 --> 00:47:26,410
Dear Isabel...
275
00:47:26,620 --> 00:47:32,536
Eventhoug Mabruki has been a slave for so longhis mind has remained free.
276
00:47:32,740 --> 00:47:36,972
He asked if we want to find i>
the beginning of the river ... i>
277
00:47:37,180 --> 00:47:42,129
why not start from it's end, i>
walk along its shores and see where it begins. i>
278
00:47:42,340 --> 00:47:47,937
I explained many tried that way and was swallowed up i>
by the vast deserts of the Nile i>
279
00:47:48,140 --> 00:47:52,213
'Pehraps your river i>
He told me, is meant to be mystery. i>
280
00:47:52,420 --> 00:47:57,892
'You should look for what i>
it can give: A bath and a good meal. ' i>
281
00:48:12,340 --> 00:48:14,808
Wait.
282
00:48:15,020 --> 00:48:17,898
Sidi, Show them the cloth.
283
00:48:39,140 --> 00:48:44,214
They can give us some food, but they
want these clothes to have names.
284
00:48:44,420 --> 00:48:48,732
Very Well
This is calico.
285
00:48:48,940 --> 00:48:52,376
Okay.
This is pacely.
286
00:48:52,580 --> 00:48:56,414
That is ... rum punch.
287
00:48:58,540 --> 00:49:02,055
Sorry, Dick, you're wrong about that one.
288
00:49:02,260 --> 00:49:06,014
That is not rum punch, Good sir ...
289
00:49:06,220 --> 00:49:08,370
that is malt whiskey.
290
00:49:08,580 --> 00:49:12,016
And that's chocolate pudding.
291
00:49:14,220 --> 00:49:17,098
292
00:49:23,380 --> 00:49:26,258
What is this?
293
00:49:36,980 --> 00:49:41,212
Don't be offended.
It's a blessing.
It's All right
294
00:49:41,420 --> 00:49:44,412
The bond has been made.
295
00:49:50,140 --> 00:49:52,893
Try some?
296
00:51:46,540 --> 00:51:49,418
What is it, sir?
What's wrong, Sir?
297
00:51:49,620 --> 00:51:54,136
What's wrong?
- There's a beetle in my ear.
- Sidi, Get a candle.
298
00:52:00,780 --> 00:52:04,295
Sidi, Hold his wrists, steady.
299
00:52:15,620 --> 00:52:19,613
I'll give drops of Warburg
for the pain.
300
00:52:21,740 --> 00:52:24,618
Do not let go.
301
00:52:30,940 --> 00:52:34,410
Let go, it has no effect.
302
00:52:34,620 --> 00:52:39,216
That damn thing
is eating my eardrum.
303
00:52:59,220 --> 00:53:02,292
I killed it.
304
00:53:02,500 --> 00:53:06,891
I know I've killed it,
I can't hear it anymore.
305
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:10,888
It is alright Jack,
You never listen anyway.
306
00:53:16,820 --> 00:53:19,698
On that Monday, I rowed
307
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:22,698
Faraway you did row.
308
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:26,734
calm and peaceful, the sea was
309
00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:30,216
in the dawn's glow.
310
00:53:30,420 --> 00:53:36,097
I did not know
311
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:41,294
that cold death
Waited for me at the bottom
312
00:53:41,500 --> 00:53:44,378
that sad day
313
00:53:44,580 --> 00:53:47,014
Still haunts me
314
00:53:47,220 --> 00:53:51,498
Wherever I go
315
00:54:16,060 --> 00:54:22,295
For a month after John's ear healed, i>
Everytime John sneezed a strange squeaky sound emerged from his ear. i>
316
00:54:22,500 --> 00:54:29,895
This delighted our bearers i>
they kept asking him to hold his nose and make that whistle sound i>
317
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:33,137
John was not amused. i>
318
00:54:42,580 --> 00:54:47,893
Sidi, tell them to stay away. Don't let them drink.
This water is infected. You'll kill yourselves
319
00:54:56,420 --> 00:55:01,289
If I get smallpox, you must leave me behind.
- Yes, Yes, I will.
320
00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:04,890
I'm glad you are so consistent.
321
00:55:17,420 --> 00:55:20,651
The Men i>
are hungry and sick. i>
322
00:55:20,860 --> 00:55:26,730
We have traveled 178 days without seeing i>
nothing of the Lake we seek. i>
323
00:55:26,940 --> 00:55:33,095
Speke only seems happy when he is hunting. The i>
game is scarce and rarely edible. i>
324
00:55:36,660 --> 00:55:40,494
Men argue ... i>
and then rarely remember why. i>
325
00:55:43,900 --> 00:55:47,973
So far we have seen i>
only a series of poor villages. i>
326
00:55:48,180 --> 00:55:51,775
Drought and famine were all round us. i>
327
00:55:51,980 --> 00:55:58,692
Half of the bearers deserted. i>
Most of the supplies are gone. i>
328
00:56:01,620 --> 00:56:07,889
At night men smoke cannabis and tells stories, i>
which maybe the last spurious statement they ever utter. i>
329
00:56:13,860 --> 00:56:17,853
At times we seems to move i>
in a dream. i>
330
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:22,099
Memories of England i>
seem far away. i>
331
00:56:57,260 --> 00:57:02,493
My father's caravan came across the desert
when they reached these valleys they took slaves.
332
00:57:02,700 --> 00:57:08,696
They proceed to the coast, sold their
captives, sailed home in ships
333
00:57:08,900 --> 00:57:12,415
and again began the cycle.
334
00:57:12,620 --> 00:57:16,898
Now we stay in the valley
with the Chief Fundikira's tribe.
335
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:24,575
Have you heard of a lake?
- They say that to the west there is water.
336
00:57:24,780 --> 00:57:30,571
You must not hurry to your deaths.
You should stay.
337
00:57:30,780 --> 00:57:35,092
Conversation is the soul
of life in this place.
338
00:58:02,220 --> 00:58:05,451
The chief believes in talking lists.
339
00:58:05,660 --> 00:58:11,018
He believes to make conversation very much
important this way.
- I understand.
340
00:58:11,220 --> 00:58:18,490
The things that haunt men.
A talkative woman, a mosquito, diarrhea ...
341
00:58:18,700 --> 00:58:22,579
and death in a place far from home.
-Yes, My King.
342
00:58:26,020 --> 00:58:28,853
The parts of a man
a lion eats.
343
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:32,410
The buttocks, thighs ...
344
00:58:32,620 --> 00:58:38,252
the flesh of the upper arm.
And then sometimes the face and tongue.
345
00:58:38,460 --> 00:58:41,691
Whole life
also devours a man too.
346
00:58:41,900 --> 00:58:46,451
It eats your muscles and strength.
His brain and then his restless heart.
347
00:59:28,740 --> 00:59:32,892
When are we leaving?
- In time, All in good time.
348
00:59:33,100 --> 00:59:35,898
We don't have any time.
349
00:59:37,820 --> 00:59:41,893
What about living, Jack?
- We came to find the Nile.
350
00:59:42,100 --> 00:59:46,810
I am thinking of dismantling this thing, so i can
repair it again.
351
00:59:47,020 --> 00:59:51,889
Without proper instruments
We are not geographers.
352
00:59:55,820 --> 00:59:59,096
What do you think
that you're discovering here, Dick?
353
01:00:02,860 --> 01:00:06,296
They are praying for our journey, Jack.
354
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:10,129
I don't need it.
355
01:00:20,940 --> 01:00:25,889
Will you do me a favour, pass these to
the next caravan going to the coast.
-Of course
356
01:01:54,380 --> 01:01:57,656
My boots ... Get them off.
357
01:02:01,340 --> 01:02:04,298
My legs are swollen.
358
01:02:20,420 --> 01:02:23,810
Mabruki says he has seen this before.
359
01:02:24,020 --> 01:02:28,616
A man will die in three days unless
his legs are cut.
360
01:02:30,340 --> 01:02:34,697
Cut my legs, Jack.
Cut them.
361
01:02:43,580 --> 01:02:47,619
Cut them.
- I can't.
362
01:02:47,820 --> 01:02:52,416
Sir,You must let blood out, you must.
- Give it to me.
363
01:04:54,486 --> 01:04:57,637
Sir, It is water.
364
01:04:59,686 --> 01:05:05,636
It is just a small mountain lake.
-No Sir, There is plenty of water.
365
01:05:05,846 --> 01:05:08,838
Lift me up. Lift me up.
366
01:05:18,406 --> 01:05:23,844
John Hanning Speke.
This is the lake.
367
01:05:30,406 --> 01:05:33,284
We've done it!
368
01:06:29,886 --> 01:06:35,677
They called the Lake Tanganyika. i>
'The Meeting Place of Waters'. i>
369
01:06:35,886 --> 01:06:39,322
With long boats i>
We set out to explore the shores. i>
370
01:06:51,806 --> 01:06:57,915
Large as this lake is i>
We couldn't determine if it is the definite source. i>
371
01:06:58,126 --> 01:07:03,644
We went to shore following streams, i>
but they ended dry on an impenetrable marsh. i>
372
01:07:07,846 --> 01:07:14,604
Some of the men drank fetid waters, i>
they were afflicted with dysentery,malaria and despair. i>
373
01:07:45,006 --> 01:07:48,885
It is not here, John.
We will have to go ashore.
374
01:07:49,086 --> 01:07:55,002
Say what you mean.
You had given up and going back, don't you?
375
01:07:55,206 --> 01:07:58,516
For the sake of God,
these men are dying.
376
01:07:58,726 --> 01:08:03,959
Row, you bastards, Row.
Come On, Row
377
01:08:15,606 --> 01:08:20,885
I decided we will continue overland, i>
in search of connecting waterway. i>
378
01:08:40,806 --> 01:08:44,481
Stay here.
I'll go and talk to them.
379
01:09:20,446 --> 01:09:27,796
These men says there is a great kingdom
to the north. They have heard of the lake.
380
01:09:28,006 --> 01:09:34,400
I'm tired of rumors. If there is another
lake, we'll find it ourselves.
381
01:09:34,606 --> 01:09:37,678
We need supplies, food.
382
01:09:44,006 --> 01:09:49,285
At times I wonder why I i>
continue, but I have no answer. i>
383
01:09:49,486 --> 01:09:56,085
I asked to myslef, why the only echo I hear is: 'Damn i>
fool, the devil tries you '. i>
384
01:10:08,406 --> 01:10:13,275
He wants to leave.
- Tell him to stay, I will see no harm comes to him.
385
01:10:15,686 --> 01:10:21,682
He will stay, but he is very much afraid
- Tell him I need him. Make him understand.
He has my word on this.
386
01:10:21,886 --> 01:10:24,878
He understands, but he is not convinced.
387
01:10:25,086 --> 01:10:29,796
Convince him and tell him not to follow me.
John, I need your help.
388
01:10:30,006 --> 01:10:34,796
What is it?
- I can't pull down my pants,
and I have to shit.
389
01:11:18,126 --> 01:11:23,996
We come as friends, Of the great island
overlooking the Northern Sea. We are friends.
390
01:12:28,686 --> 01:12:34,602
This man is Veldu, Minister of Lord Ngola.
From over there till here, all this is their kingdom.
391
01:12:50,406 --> 01:12:54,160
Veldu recites their laws.
392
01:12:54,366 --> 01:12:58,882
No one can enter the kingdom
without splendid dress.
393
01:12:59,086 --> 01:13:02,601
No one will sit
above their Lord Ngola.
394
01:13:04,526 --> 01:13:08,075
No one can come without gifts.
395
01:15:17,166 --> 01:15:22,365
Does the white men see Lord Ngola?
- Yes, We see him.
396
01:15:24,126 --> 01:15:30,122
Does you truly see him?
- We see the king of Paradise and Mountains and Wind.
397
01:15:30,326 --> 01:15:36,515
We were told to bring great gifts and we brought them.
These are the things he has stolen..
Your Minister, He is a thief.
398
01:15:41,446 --> 01:15:45,837
He says to kill these men and take their
possesions and sell them to caravan as slaves.
399
01:15:46,046 --> 01:15:50,403
Tell him, that we are Kings too.
From the great Island of the Far sea.
400
01:15:54,526 --> 01:15:57,404
He says that you are not King.
401
01:17:26,126 --> 01:17:30,324
This is a special gift for the king.
- He says, sit down.
402
01:17:41,166 --> 01:17:43,396
Stand back.
403
01:18:41,886 --> 01:18:45,196
Sidi,Tell him it's a weapon,
a dangerous weapon.
404
01:19:01,846 --> 01:19:04,121
Don't.
405
01:20:09,926 --> 01:20:12,804
What do you make of this?
406
01:20:13,006 --> 01:20:16,203
Not bad, is it?
407
01:20:16,406 --> 01:20:21,002
We are not his guests, Jack.
We are his prisoners.
408
01:20:52,886 --> 01:20:57,960
The king's sister, Lema,
she is very much sick.
409
01:20:58,166 --> 01:21:02,796
She says she needs a beautiful
white doctor man..
410
01:21:19,246 --> 01:21:21,760
She says her husband died.
411
01:21:21,966 --> 01:21:26,403
She have very much strong desire
and very much lonely heart.
412
01:21:28,086 --> 01:21:30,964
Yes, I am sure.
413
01:22:00,886 --> 01:22:06,563
They say he was a prisoner
who ran away. Once he had power here.
414
01:22:06,766 --> 01:22:10,839
He offended Veldu
and they made him slave.
415
01:22:12,966 --> 01:22:16,675
They won't free him or sell him to us
at any price?
416
01:22:25,286 --> 01:22:29,279
He says that you are no King.
He wants to shame you.
417
01:22:29,486 --> 01:22:32,239
He wants you to beg.
418
01:22:36,726 --> 01:22:40,685
Your touch make her feel much better..
so you come every day.
419
01:22:40,886 --> 01:22:47,155
Tell her, Yes. And I want permission to leave and
I want permission to look for the lake.
420
01:22:56,286 --> 01:23:01,565
When she is better, she says, Yes.
The beautiful white doctor, He can go.
421
01:23:03,686 --> 01:23:07,156
Tell her I care for her
with all my heart.
422
01:23:09,886 --> 01:23:14,755
Speke has permission to leave i>
with a handful of bearers for a short expedition. i>
423
01:23:14,966 --> 01:23:18,754
To ensure his return, i>
They are keeping me here. i>
424
01:23:18,966 --> 01:23:23,756
I fear for Mabruki, i>
I sworned that no harm would come to him. i>
425
01:23:23,966 --> 01:23:28,801
Can I ever believe in myself again i>
if I fail to keep that promise? i>
426
01:23:29,006 --> 01:23:32,760
They have confiscated everything,
but this last thermometer.
427
01:23:32,966 --> 01:23:35,719
Keep it safe.
428
01:23:35,926 --> 01:23:40,556
Remember, the lower the
volume point, the higher the altitude.
Yes, I know.
429
01:23:43,686 --> 01:23:46,359
I'll better be off.
430
01:23:46,566 --> 01:23:50,241
Heal your legs.
431
01:23:54,046 --> 01:23:56,002
Find it, Jack.
432
01:23:58,606 --> 01:24:00,961
You know, Dick?
433
01:24:03,566 --> 01:24:07,445
I'm still quite deaf in this ear.
434
01:24:28,046 --> 01:24:31,561
I want Mabruki to be freed.
I want him to be freed.
435
01:25:47,086 --> 01:25:50,362
Sidi, You're hurt,
- No Sir, I am able to go.
436
01:25:50,566 --> 01:25:54,639
I can travel fast without you.
I think you should camp down here.
437
01:25:54,846 --> 01:25:59,362
But Sir, I've come so far for this.
- My mind is made up.
438
01:25:59,566 --> 01:26:04,435
I will return in a few days.
- Ali, Juma. Stay here.
439
01:26:04,646 --> 01:26:07,922
The rest of you come with me.
440
01:26:10,886 --> 01:26:13,320
Rest.
441
01:27:38,686 --> 01:27:41,359
Who are you?
442
01:27:41,566 --> 01:27:44,160
You look drugged.
443
01:27:45,566 --> 01:27:48,717
And this man says he is a King.
Look at him.
444
01:27:51,246 --> 01:27:54,124
They've drugged me.
445
01:27:59,406 --> 01:28:03,365
The Royal Geographical Society.
446
01:28:12,686 --> 01:28:19,956
This man is free. I freed him.
- A King does not care about Slaves.
447
01:28:20,166 --> 01:28:24,000
Look.
448
01:28:24,966 --> 01:28:28,276
Take this sword.
Use it.
449
01:28:43,086 --> 01:28:45,759
For God's sake.
450
01:28:45,966 --> 01:28:48,844
He's my friend.
451
01:28:58,166 --> 01:29:01,602
Lord, he is crying.
Is crying fit for a King?
452
01:29:01,806 --> 01:29:07,722
This is a cruel and sadistic kingdom.
This is a vicious place.
You hear me.
453
01:29:14,886 --> 01:29:19,277
You're a little people.
You will pass away.
454
01:29:21,406 --> 01:29:24,762
You deserve to be forgotten.
455
01:29:24,966 --> 01:29:28,561
A good King treats his people kindly.
456
01:29:28,766 --> 01:29:31,963
Slavery must end.
457
01:29:39,766 --> 01:29:42,963
God help me.
458
01:29:43,166 --> 01:29:46,476
Now he is free.
459
01:29:54,206 --> 01:29:57,516
Now he is free.
460
01:30:06,246 --> 01:30:11,001
Kill him.
Make slaves of his friends.
461
01:31:47,806 --> 01:31:52,641
Yes, I will say your name in my country.
462
01:32:16,566 --> 01:32:20,639
I found it.
I found the source.
463
01:32:22,766 --> 01:32:25,758
Are you all right?
464
01:32:27,966 --> 01:32:31,959
Listen to me, Dick. Please
We have achieved our goal.
465
01:32:32,166 --> 01:32:36,876
We have permission to leave here.
- Permission to leave?
466
01:32:37,086 --> 01:32:43,161
What did you do?
- Ngola is rewarding me for having great powers.
467
01:32:43,366 --> 01:32:46,961
Oh! good, then come with me.
I'll show you the lake.
468
01:32:48,526 --> 01:32:51,757
Mabruki is dead.
469
01:32:51,966 --> 01:32:57,723
Richard, But we have the Nile,
I know I found it.
470
01:32:58,366 --> 01:33:04,123
The monsoon is coming. We
must go back to the coast immediately.
471
01:33:04,326 --> 01:33:09,844
Hear me, I know it is the Nile's source.
- You saw the river flowing out of the lake?
472
01:33:10,046 --> 01:33:16,440
No, I didn't see it's actual affluent,
but I know such a river is there.
- How do you know, Jack?
473
01:33:16,646 --> 01:33:21,436
I took two accurate readings.
It is a much higher lake than Tanganyika.
474
01:33:21,646 --> 01:33:24,843
Did you go round it?
- No, it's too vast.
475
01:33:25,046 --> 01:33:30,916
"So you didn't circle the lake, you speak none of
the languages there, you saw no river, yet you know.. "
476
01:33:31,126 --> 01:33:38,521
This is the Nile, you can see for yourselves,
Come with me. You can estimate the altitude.
- Estimate.
477
01:33:38,726 --> 01:33:44,517
I'm afraid I broke our last thermometer.
- Then we have no instruments, None.
478
01:33:44,726 --> 01:33:48,480
What do we do then?
Guess?
479
01:33:48,686 --> 01:33:53,123
If you have seen it, you'd know I'm right.
- Jack, We won't talk about it now.
480
01:33:53,326 --> 01:33:57,842
You saw a body of water
you know nothing about.
481
01:34:00,446 --> 01:34:03,882
I thought to name it Lake Victoria.
482
01:34:11,446 --> 01:34:13,641
Dear Isabel i>
483
01:34:13,846 --> 01:34:20,319
The last thing I saw was an African city, i>
proceeding as if our ordeal never occured. i>
484
01:34:20,526 --> 01:34:24,917
The Chief Minister, now dead, i>
was suspended in dishonor. i>
485
01:34:27,046 --> 01:34:32,837
This ancient culture, with its elegant architecture i>
complex language and ornate ritual ... i>
486
01:34:33,046 --> 01:34:39,645
would now return to its enterprise, i>
including the taking of slaves. i>
487
01:34:39,846 --> 01:34:42,724
Everything is prepared.
488
01:34:50,486 --> 01:34:55,514
Richard, You must tell me
what happened here.
489
01:35:14,446 --> 01:35:20,715
Sidi, himself an ex slave, asked if such evil pratices i>
existed in my country. i>
490
01:35:20,926 --> 01:35:26,796
'In my country, I replied men had beheaded their i>
fathers and sons for power. ' i>
491
01:35:27,006 --> 01:35:32,876
'And as for slavery the white man infact introduced i>
to it the additional horror of commerce. ' i>
492
01:35:37,046 --> 01:35:40,436
I have asked Jack i>
to carry this letter back. i>
493
01:35:40,646 --> 01:35:47,996
The return journey took over seven months. i>
Through long stretches of rain and sickness. i>
494
01:35:48,206 --> 01:35:51,915
My legs are back i>
badly swollen again. i>
495
01:35:52,126 --> 01:35:55,516
I wait to recover at the coast. i>
496
01:35:55,726 --> 01:36:01,039
It would be nice to be standing i>
well and strong when we next embrace. i>
497
01:36:01,246 --> 01:36:04,522
Love, Richard. i>
498
01:36:24,606 --> 01:36:27,200
"Lowry?
499
01:36:27,406 --> 01:36:30,603
My God. John?
500
01:36:36,566 --> 01:36:40,115
Dumb speechless.
- Impossible.
501
01:36:40,326 --> 01:36:43,318
When did you get back?
- I have only just arrived.
502
01:36:43,526 --> 01:36:47,644
I brought you my journals.
I have some great news.
503
01:36:49,766 --> 01:36:54,442
Murchison thinks that you should address
the Royal Geographical immediately.
504
01:36:54,646 --> 01:36:58,321
It is called for a assembly tomorrow.
- Tomorrow.
505
01:36:58,526 --> 01:37:02,917
Without Burton?
- Please, It's the President's wish.
506
01:37:07,046 --> 01:37:09,924
What is th matter?
507
01:37:10,126 --> 01:37:13,163
It is just so all unexpected.
508
01:37:13,366 --> 01:37:17,803
And Richard will be back soon,
I'm sure.
509
01:37:18,006 --> 01:37:22,636
Well if you'll excuse me, there is
much to do for you.
510
01:37:36,206 --> 01:37:38,925
Let me ask you, Jack.
511
01:37:39,126 --> 01:37:44,246
When you first met Burton
and the two of you were attacked and wounded ...
- Yes
512
01:37:44,446 --> 01:37:50,237
Did you ever read his official report to the army, afterwards?
- His report? No, never saw it.
513
01:37:50,446 --> 01:37:55,122
It happens, I've read it.
He makes no menition of you.
514
01:37:55,326 --> 01:38:00,605
Except to say you were an inexperienced officer
who acted somewhat in a cowardly manner while under atack.
515
01:38:00,806 --> 01:38:04,116
He couldn't have written that.
- But he did.
516
01:38:06,046 --> 01:38:12,121
You will not see that report, nor neither
will anyone else. I've had it destroyed.
517
01:38:12,326 --> 01:38:16,114
I saved his life.
- Of course, You did.
518
01:38:16,326 --> 01:38:21,525
If he slandered you once, he
will do it again. Especially
now when the stake is so high
.
519
01:38:28,646 --> 01:38:31,922
I haven't seen my family, yet.
520
01:38:32,126 --> 01:38:35,118
They're expecting me.
521
01:38:35,326 --> 01:38:39,638
Receive tomorrow, what you so well
deserve.
522
01:39:11,286 --> 01:39:16,314
Come to my house and rest. We still
have time to prepare a rebuttal.
523
01:39:16,526 --> 01:39:20,041
You know me better than that,
won't go about arguing for a career.
524
01:39:20,246 --> 01:39:25,718
Not talking about the minor poltics of once career.
Two weeks ago, Speke commited an act of treachery.
525
01:39:25,926 --> 01:39:30,124
Have you send for Isabel?
- I resent the impact
526
01:39:30,326 --> 01:39:33,602
of fully funded expedition
and he is in charge.
527
01:39:35,446 --> 01:39:38,722
He is ambitious and weak.
- Weak? You don't know.
528
01:39:38,926 --> 01:39:42,635
He allows Oliphant and Murchison to
ridicule you. He's deadly in his weakness
529
01:39:42,846 --> 01:39:47,044
He saved my life, many times.
- Then go and talk to him.
530
01:39:47,246 --> 01:39:51,239
No, I can't, he must come to me.
- Would not be sure of that.
531
01:39:51,446 --> 01:39:54,677
He leaves for Africa
in two weeks.
532
01:40:02,846 --> 01:40:05,121
Isabel.
533
01:41:02,206 --> 01:41:05,721
Father, A grand ceremony Father.
- Thank you.
534
01:41:07,846 --> 01:41:13,842
Isabel, Allow me to present my good friend, Lord
Russel of the foreign office.
- How do you do.
535
01:41:14,046 --> 01:41:17,516
Much, He has the most charming chapel
as house, my dear.
536
01:41:17,726 --> 01:41:20,957
I did not know, that Lord Russel
knew my son-in-law.
- Oh, Yes indeed.
537
01:41:21,166 --> 01:41:24,920
Undoubtedly, You were aware that Richard is an expert
in Arab affairs.
538
01:41:25,126 --> 01:41:32,237
I thought I knew everything about your
husband, until your wedding, I have no idea
about the depths of his good taste.
539
01:41:32,446 --> 01:41:36,758
Should he not be thought of
for a major consulate?
540
01:41:44,646 --> 01:41:50,118
I am convinced that the Nile's source i>
flows from many lakes, not just one. i>
541
01:41:50,326 --> 01:41:54,080
I have repudiated Speke's findings i>
in my own book. i>
542
01:41:54,286 --> 01:41:59,440
The Royal Geographical Society favors his account, i>
Unscientific as it is. i>
543
01:41:59,646 --> 01:42:05,516
Of course they send him back to Africa. i>
Fame, power,conquest, the expansion of the empire ... i>
544
01:42:05,726 --> 01:42:09,116
All these objectives suited them perfectly i>
545
01:42:09,326 --> 01:42:15,037
My interest in what we can i>
learn from ancient cultures, insults them. i>
546
01:42:17,166 --> 01:42:21,682
But John's betrayal ... i>
Who could have predicted it? i>
547
01:42:21,886 --> 01:42:27,722
He's been used. I know i>
his capacity for true friendship. i>
548
01:42:27,926 --> 01:42:34,525
I will not trouble him, nor beg the Royal i>
Geographical Society to go back. i>
549
01:42:34,726 --> 01:42:39,800
This would validate their authority i>
My despisal. i>
550
01:42:41,926 --> 01:42:46,522
Speke, New reports from Africa i>
will again prove inadequate. i>
551
01:42:49,046 --> 01:42:54,120
Will I ever return to that continent i>
I so love i>
552
01:42:56,446 --> 01:43:01,281
Two years later
553
01:43:27,326 --> 01:43:30,204
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, Thank you.
554
01:43:30,406 --> 01:43:33,318
Silly, but wonderful.
555
01:43:33,526 --> 01:43:38,236
Oh! London just seemed so lively..
I don't know when I enjoyed it so much.
556
01:43:38,446 --> 01:43:42,325
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
would you please welcome ...
557
01:43:42,526 --> 01:43:45,120
a surprise guest.
558
01:43:45,326 --> 01:43:50,844
The real conqueror of the River Nile
Mr. John Hanning Speke.
559
01:43:51,046 --> 01:43:56,518
Is this your idea, Lowry?
- Go ahead, John. Take the stage.
560
01:44:00,646 --> 01:44:03,365
Later there will be an interview.
561
01:44:15,246 --> 01:44:18,124
I do not know what to say.
562
01:44:18,326 --> 01:44:23,116
You all seem so barbaric compared
to the Africans.
563
01:44:23,326 --> 01:44:27,035
I am not very talented at this.
564
01:44:28,646 --> 01:44:33,276
I do not know how exactly to thank you.
Expect to say Thank you.
565
01:44:33,486 --> 01:44:38,321
- Tell us something about the lake.
- Don't, Don't speak Speke. Sing.
566
01:44:46,166 --> 01:44:50,921
There was a time when we were
in the stretch of desert.
567
01:44:52,886 --> 01:44:55,719
Several of the bearers had already
died of thirst.
568
01:44:55,926 --> 01:45:01,205
My second in command had cuts
and wounds all over his body.
569
01:45:01,406 --> 01:45:05,718
Asked if he look bad.
570
01:45:05,926 --> 01:45:08,724
How bad?
571
01:45:10,846 --> 01:45:15,522
I knew he was hurt,
but I was blind, you see ...
572
01:45:15,726 --> 01:45:19,321
and so I couldn't answer him.
573
01:45:19,526 --> 01:45:21,915
So I sang.
574
01:45:23,646 --> 01:45:27,924
And even then,
in the hot desert sun ...
575
01:45:28,126 --> 01:45:32,119
in that bleak and hopeless landscape...
576
01:45:32,326 --> 01:45:36,160
All I could think of:
'Was My God, I might have tuned'.
577
01:45:39,006 --> 01:45:42,840
So, if you will help me ...
578
01:46:32,846 --> 01:46:34,916
Newspapers ...
579
01:46:35,126 --> 01:46:37,845
Speke Again.
580
01:46:38,046 --> 01:46:40,640
I don't care.
581
01:46:40,846 --> 01:46:43,724
That is more than apparent.
582
01:46:45,646 --> 01:46:49,719
Richard, You must get out of here.
You must get out of England.
583
01:46:49,926 --> 01:46:52,838
An expedition requires money.
584
01:46:53,046 --> 01:46:55,321
Excuses.
585
01:46:55,526 --> 01:46:58,677
You are paralyzed in Self-pity .
586
01:46:58,886 --> 01:47:04,199
All right, Then borrow money from your family.
- You know that's impossible.
587
01:47:04,406 --> 01:47:07,842
Then ask your blessed church.
Tell them I will be a humble missionary.
588
01:47:08,046 --> 01:47:11,595
Do not speak against my church
and I won't speak against your brandy.
589
01:47:11,806 --> 01:47:17,722
For hundreds, maybe thousands of years
Africans fished this lake.
They have washed their clothes.
590
01:47:17,926 --> 01:47:23,842
They pissed on it.
An aryan white man claim to have discoverd,
which Africans have discovered.
591
01:47:24,046 --> 01:47:29,837
I won't argue about a patch of land
and whereabout of a river.
- You can take a consular position.
592
01:47:31,486 --> 01:47:35,764
They haven't asked me.
- I went to see Lord Russel.
593
01:47:35,966 --> 01:47:39,481
I specifically told you not to speak to anyone
at the foreign office.
594
01:47:39,686 --> 01:47:46,558
There is a consulate open, In Brazil.
- In South America?
595
01:47:46,766 --> 01:47:52,762
My qualifications are for Africa, Arabic countries.
- But if you speak Portugese,
You are qualified for anywhere in the world.
596
01:47:52,966 --> 01:47:57,118
You go and beg before politicians.
That is despicable.
597
01:47:57,326 --> 01:48:03,595
Then fight. Fight for it. Fight for your name,
Fight for your honor. If you don't, then I must.
598
01:48:15,246 --> 01:48:19,478
Be careful with that thing.
You don't know how to use it.
599
01:48:19,686 --> 01:48:23,122
Then teach me.
600
01:48:25,686 --> 01:48:29,918
If I am given some grumpy little consulate
on the wrong side of the world ...
601
01:48:30,126 --> 01:48:33,402
You think I take you with me?
602
01:48:33,606 --> 01:48:36,643
You take me.
603
01:48:36,846 --> 01:48:41,522
You would die without me.
I'd die without you.
604
01:48:51,646 --> 01:48:58,802
Dr. Livingstone, May I present my
good friend, Richard Francis Burton.
605
01:49:00,846 --> 01:49:03,918
I have just finished your book.
606
01:49:04,126 --> 01:49:07,880
I wonder if you gentlemen would leave us
alone for a few minutes?
607
01:49:08,086 --> 01:49:13,922
There is much to discuss.
We will wait in the conference room.
608
01:49:21,846 --> 01:49:24,644
Got that in Africa, did you?
609
01:49:26,726 --> 01:49:30,321
Tribes men, they lanced at my face.
610
01:49:30,526 --> 01:49:34,838
Split my palate, knocked out some
teeth and came out over here.
611
01:49:35,046 --> 01:49:39,085
Very Risky profession.
- Indeed.
612
01:49:43,766 --> 01:49:49,636
You know of course that I was mauled by a Lion?
Who, if he haven't just fed, would have eaten all of me.
613
01:49:49,846 --> 01:49:54,124
And it was, he only chewed my shoulder.
614
01:49:59,046 --> 01:50:01,116
Bullet hole. Single bore.
615
01:50:01,326 --> 01:50:04,716
And what about that?
616
01:50:04,926 --> 01:50:08,236
Sat on a scorpion.
617
01:50:08,446 --> 01:50:11,040
Quashed him dead...
618
01:50:11,246 --> 01:50:16,559
but his sting put this hole in my ass,
nearly killed me.
619
01:50:18,566 --> 01:50:22,445
Gangrene. Swells the leg.
620
01:50:22,646 --> 01:50:27,515
I had to cut it myself.
Had some brandy that day.
621
01:50:30,046 --> 01:50:32,719
Rat bite.
622
01:50:32,926 --> 01:50:35,201
And that one?
623
01:50:37,326 --> 01:50:40,716
Nice and nasty.
624
01:50:40,926 --> 01:50:46,125
Yes,But you know?
I can't think of another life.
625
01:50:59,046 --> 01:51:04,166
Do you miss Africa?
- I do.
626
01:51:04,366 --> 01:51:07,915
I must say, Burton looks very well.
627
01:51:08,126 --> 01:51:13,996
And there are some interesting points of his account.
- Burton's evidence is hardly conclusive.
628
01:51:14,206 --> 01:51:20,725
You should have send him back but instead you send Speke.
And once again he didn't travelled round the lake.
629
01:51:20,926 --> 01:51:23,121
And what is keeping them for so long?
630
01:51:23,326 --> 01:51:27,319
In one stretch Speke has the Nile
flowing uphill for 90 miles.
631
01:51:27,526 --> 01:51:31,314
John tells me all inconsistencies will be
cleared up in his published account.
632
01:51:31,526 --> 01:51:34,802
An account published for profit by
the Oliphants.
633
01:51:35,006 --> 01:51:38,840
He's a good guy, Burton.
I like his mettle.
634
01:51:39,046 --> 01:51:43,676
But who is the most reliable?
Surely, Speke.
635
01:51:45,246 --> 01:51:50,684
How about a debate?
- Very appealing, Two heroes on one platform.
636
01:51:50,886 --> 01:51:55,323
Now we can be assured, that every major scientists
will attend our next meeting.
637
01:51:55,526 --> 01:51:59,041
We could invite the Newspapers,
The Public.
638
01:51:59,246 --> 01:52:05,196
Will Burton accept?
- I don't know, he suffered great
insults in your hands
639
01:52:08,726 --> 01:52:12,480
Perhaps, it would all be too technical.
640
01:52:12,686 --> 01:52:16,122
Who would judge?
- I will.
641
01:52:22,646 --> 01:52:28,915
These are the maps wanted, and I managed to locate some
materials from yours and Burton's orginal expedition.
642
01:52:36,846 --> 01:52:42,318
Is this the Burton's report to the army?
- Yes, One he wrote after you both were wounded.
643
01:52:42,526 --> 01:52:48,203
I thought this was destroyed.
Why was I not given this before?
644
01:52:48,406 --> 01:52:52,558
I didn't thing this was relevant.
- Burton was capable of using this.
645
01:52:52,766 --> 01:52:55,519
I asked to see everything
so I could be prepared.
646
01:52:55,726 --> 01:53:00,720
Is there any difficulty here?
- Burton's old report, have you read it?
647
01:53:05,046 --> 01:53:10,074
Yes, I remember clearly well reading it.
And it deal mainly with finances.
648
01:53:10,286 --> 01:53:14,325
Did it discuss the battle?
649
01:53:14,526 --> 01:53:20,601
Only so far as, Burton took the responsibility
for not been adequately prepared.
650
01:53:20,806 --> 01:53:24,401
Nothing about me?
651
01:53:24,606 --> 01:53:30,078
As I recall, he gave you credit
for saving his life.
652
01:53:32,206 --> 01:53:35,278
But surely, You knew all about this?
653
01:53:35,486 --> 01:53:39,365
Yes, I am simply trying to be fair.
654
01:53:58,806 --> 01:54:03,482
John, John, the turnout for tomorrow is amazing
journalists coming from all over the country.
655
01:54:03,686 --> 01:54:05,995
You lied to me Lowry.
656
01:54:06,206 --> 01:54:09,596
I always lie
my way to the truth.
657
01:54:18,966 --> 01:54:22,481
What today is not more
than a formality.
658
01:54:22,686 --> 01:54:26,042
The real debate
will be tomorrow.
659
01:54:30,126 --> 01:54:32,515
Shall we?
660
01:54:43,606 --> 01:54:45,642
Hello Jack ...
661
01:54:49,286 --> 01:54:51,800
Burton...
662
01:54:52,006 --> 01:54:56,284
Sir, Master Speke, must I have to come inside
with all these tomcats?
663
01:54:56,486 --> 01:55:00,274
No, It is a lovely day.
Wait in the carriage.
664
01:55:00,486 --> 01:55:03,364
We'll go hunting.
665
01:55:08,206 --> 01:55:13,678
I would like to welcome the many learned and esteemed
scientists, I see in our audience today.
666
01:55:13,886 --> 01:55:16,354
We are privileged, Indeed to have you as our guest.
667
01:55:16,566 --> 01:55:21,924
I am sure you all agree
that the discovery of the source of the Nile ..
668
01:55:22,126 --> 01:55:28,395
is the most exciting event for Geographers
since Columbus discovered America.
669
01:55:28,606 --> 01:55:35,842
Later today Captain Richard Burton will speak to the society on matters
not directly related to the forth coming debate.
670
01:55:36,046 --> 01:55:41,643
And tomorrow we will commence with
Captain Burton's formal paper ...
671
01:55:41,846 --> 01:55:45,998
to be followed after a short break
by one from John Hanning Speke.
672
01:55:46,206 --> 01:55:51,405
I've put in my appearance.
My family excepts me.
- Of course, see you tomorrow.
673
01:55:53,886 --> 01:55:59,916
One note of apology, it is warm in here.
Pehraps by next year one of you scientist ...
674
01:56:00,126 --> 01:56:05,154
would direct your researches on
the neglected study of ventilation.
675
01:56:10,086 --> 01:56:12,520
John?
676
01:56:12,726 --> 01:56:18,198
I feel I can call you, John?
- Of course.
677
01:56:18,406 --> 01:56:21,284
I know who you are.
678
01:56:24,406 --> 01:56:29,400
Surprising isn't it, that
we have never met?
Yes.
679
01:56:35,526 --> 01:56:37,801
Excuse me Madame,
My carriage is just outside.
680
01:56:38,006 --> 01:56:44,605
Do you really want this debate?
- Why not? - It is the last thing Richard wants.
- Yes
681
01:56:44,806 --> 01:56:49,118
I suppose he dreads the outcome.
682
01:56:49,326 --> 01:56:53,114
No. He knows ...
683
01:56:53,326 --> 01:56:57,319
that you are incapable of assembling the proofs
of your argument and that you lose.
684
01:56:57,526 --> 01:57:01,235
Sorry,
but I can't discuss it.
685
01:57:01,446 --> 01:57:05,234
No one, not even myself know
what you went through together.
686
01:57:05,446 --> 01:57:10,566
These people in there, they don't no know and they don't care,
they need you as adversaries. But Richard doesn't
687
01:57:10,966 --> 01:57:15,756
Then why is he here?
- He would cancel tomorrow.
688
01:57:15,966 --> 01:57:22,917
He knows no truth will emerge
in the absence of truth and
he respects only one thing
689
01:57:24,606 --> 01:57:26,756
He respects Loyalty.
690
01:57:31,846 --> 01:57:35,122
John, He respects you.
691
01:57:48,366 --> 01:57:51,756
Trouble with those people is,
they got morals no more.
692
01:57:51,966 --> 01:57:56,323
They are a bunch of idlers.
693
01:57:58,406 --> 01:58:02,558
I'm glad that you have resolved
your problem, Sir.
694
01:58:07,206 --> 01:58:10,642
I heard an English man say this
695
01:58:10,846 --> 01:58:15,124
'The black man is indolent,
lazy by nature. "
696
01:58:15,326 --> 01:58:19,922
'He drinks his beer at sunrise
and sleeps all day.' Well perhaps.
697
01:58:21,646 --> 01:58:24,877
It can be 120 degrees at the Equator.
698
01:58:25,086 --> 01:58:29,159
That man is consumed with the same daily acts.
699
01:58:29,366 --> 01:58:33,154
Let us say gathering food, gathering wood.
700
01:58:33,366 --> 01:58:39,805
He does it with primitive tools
until the sun sets.
701
01:58:40,006 --> 01:58:43,043
And then he dances ...
702
01:58:43,246 --> 01:58:46,443
he tells stories.
703
01:58:46,646 --> 01:58:50,639
'What is he accomplished? '
Asks the English Man.
704
01:58:50,846 --> 01:58:55,681
What does English man accomplishes
if he mine coal whole day ...
705
01:58:55,886 --> 01:58:59,117
sips his beer at night
and then scums to fatigue?
706
01:58:59,326 --> 01:59:03,205
Failing to make love
and then forgets how..
707
01:59:05,486 --> 01:59:09,638
If my travels and if my books
have any meaning ...
708
01:59:09,846 --> 01:59:13,441
If Geography itself
has any significance ...
709
01:59:13,646 --> 01:59:19,039
It is that we are made to lift our eyes
from our own small provincial selfs ...
710
01:59:19,246 --> 01:59:25,082
to the whole complex and
magnificent world.
711
01:59:28,926 --> 01:59:31,645
Excellent.
712
02:00:53,966 --> 02:01:00,155
The question today is a serious question
I maintain that question remained unanswered.
713
02:01:00,366 --> 02:01:06,236
Science demands meticulous readings
Exhaustive enquiry.
714
02:01:06,446 --> 02:01:12,362
Which of these lakes is the true source of the Nile?
I maintain that the evidence we have is still incomplete.
715
02:01:12,566 --> 02:01:16,400
My opponents maps are at best
vague sometimes insufficient.
716
02:01:16,606 --> 02:01:23,444
It is even possible that the lakes interconnect.
This should be evaluated after the monsoon.
717
02:01:31,646 --> 02:01:34,922
John Hanning Speke...
718
02:01:35,126 --> 02:01:39,517
was killed yesterday afternoon
in a hunting accident.
719
02:01:45,166 --> 02:01:49,045
I would like to suggest. I would ask...
720
02:01:49,246 --> 02:01:53,637
Mr. Burton to
continue with his lecture.
721
02:02:09,646 --> 02:02:13,434
Which lake is the source?
722
02:02:13,646 --> 02:02:16,843
Or is it a series of lakes?
723
02:02:18,966 --> 02:02:22,959
My conclusion draw me
to the latter.
724
02:02:23,166 --> 02:02:27,842
the evidence of which is gathered by
myself ...
725
02:02:28,046 --> 02:02:31,561
and John Hanning Speke ...
726
02:02:31,766 --> 02:02:35,042
on our initial expedition.
727
02:02:38,806 --> 02:02:42,162
John went back.
728
02:02:48,966 --> 02:02:51,434
Jack...
729
02:02:51,646 --> 02:02:54,114
returned.
730
02:03:13,966 --> 02:03:19,643
What do you think so?
Was it an accident or suicide?
731
02:03:19,846 --> 02:03:24,476
Please make a statement, sir.
He's very upset.He needs to rest
732
02:03:24,686 --> 02:03:28,474
Mr. Oliphant, you are his personal friend.
Would you make a statement?
733
02:03:28,686 --> 02:03:31,359
What will you do now?
734
02:03:31,566 --> 02:03:36,765
You have killed him Burton. You are a fool.
You're life is over,you will never return to Africa.
735
02:03:36,966 --> 02:03:43,644
Now you can become a bureaucrat.
They will write 'murder'. I'll see to that
736
02:03:43,846 --> 02:03:47,441
It is not what they write,
Oliphant.
737
02:03:47,646 --> 02:03:51,116
It is never what they write.
738
02:03:59,966 --> 02:04:02,605
He's dead too.
739
02:04:19,166 --> 02:04:24,843
Madame, Can I speak to your husband?
- I am sorry, he's packing, We're leaving for Brazil.
740
02:04:25,046 --> 02:04:29,278
"On holiday?
- No, he will serve as a Consul there.
- It is allright, Isabel.
741
02:04:36,486 --> 02:04:40,365
Edgar Papworth, I am a sculptor.
I 've been commisioned to
742
02:04:40,566 --> 02:04:44,241
I've seen your work.
- Oh! Really?
743
02:04:44,446 --> 02:04:48,155
You see I have no time, to pose for a bust
would be impossible.
744
02:04:48,366 --> 02:04:53,963
It is not that. I have been commisioned
by the Speke family
745
02:04:56,006 --> 02:04:59,635
I haven't been asked my price,
but it happens sometimes.
746
02:05:01,766 --> 02:05:05,554
I just made a copy of
his death mask.
747
02:05:05,766 --> 02:05:11,682
I never saw the man in life. And it well
happens in death, well, some distortions.
748
02:05:11,886 --> 02:05:15,242
Naturally the
eyes were closed.
749
02:05:17,966 --> 02:05:23,836
You knew him intimately. So would you
make any suggestion? The clay is still soft.
750
02:05:24,046 --> 02:05:28,836
Excuse me, My husband and Mr Speke
have not seen each other for many years ...
751
02:05:29,046 --> 02:05:32,834
until recently,
and then only for a moment.
752
02:05:34,566 --> 02:05:38,798
No, It isn't right.
753
02:05:39,006 --> 02:05:41,520
There is too much here.
754
02:05:48,966 --> 02:05:52,561
I see, It wasn't strong enough.
755
02:05:52,766 --> 02:05:56,281
The cheekbones, mouth ...
756
02:05:58,486 --> 02:06:02,081
Yes, That's better.
757
02:06:03,366 --> 02:06:06,836
So, That is how he look like?
758
02:06:07,486 --> 02:06:14,437
Yes, That's him.
It's Speke.
759
02:06:15,326 --> 02:06:19,080
Thank you.
760
02:06:24,246 --> 02:06:27,955
I am, wouldn't have intruded.
761
02:06:28,166 --> 02:06:33,035
I thought they weren't that close, Newspapers.
762
02:06:33,246 --> 02:06:36,955
They were friends.
763
02:06:49,966 --> 02:06:53,038
Richard, are you ready?
764
02:06:53,246 --> 02:06:56,124
Of couse, I am.
765
02:07:09,566 --> 02:07:15,357
ISABEL and Burton was married for 30 years.
One never saw them apart in public.
766
02:07:15,606 --> 02:07:20,475
David Livingstone died during an expedition,
while searching for the Nile's sources.
767
02:07:20,726 --> 02:07:29,680
John Hanning Speke was right. Lake Victoria was
indeed the source of the Nile, which was established, 12 years
after his death.
768
02:07:29,966 --> 02:07:35,040
