Fawcett dismisses such
stories as insane ravings, but discovers highly advanced broken pottery
and some small stone statues in the jungle that convince him of the
veracity of Tadjui's story.
Fawcett is praised upon his return, where his wife, Nina, has given birth to their second son. In the Trinity College Library, Nina discovers a conquistador text which tells of a city deep in the Amazonian jungle. Fawcett meets the renowned biologist James Murray, who agrees to back Fawcett's expedition to the Amazon to find what Fawcett calls "the Lost City of Z".
Fawcett attempts to convince the members of the RGS to back the
expedition, but is publicly ridiculed. Nevertheless, the RGS backs the
expedition to further exploration of the Amazon basin. Murray,
unfamiliar with the rigors of the deep jungle, slows the party down
significantly. Fawcett's party is attacked while traveling along the
river. However, Fawcett makes peace with the natives. Murray suffers a
leg injury which becomes severely infected, and begins to go mad.
Fawcett sends him off with a native guide and the group's last pack
animal to find aid. Fawcett's team are forced to abandon the expedition
after discovering that Murray poured paraffin on their remaining supplies.
