Why you left permanently in England, as you say?

To be honest, I did

But I I had my moment of revelation.

Miss Bell, let me be honest.

It sounds pathetic.

And what are your intentions?

My intentions are to move out there

Archaeological and do some research.

- Study Bedouins.

- Bedouins?

Never going to happen

this.

Remind you that they are under Turkish administration.

No, and I will not ask your permission

.

Remember one thing.

Remember that soon, we intend to inherit their empire

I do not want to have problems with our

efforts that are underway.

You will not spark confrontation with Turkey

because the Bedouins.

Arguing among themselves.

This little adventure to your

Is counterproductive and dangerous.

You have no power to stop me.

I was already there and get back.

Hello, gentlemen!

Even though it would cost me

Turkish authorities to notify about your plan,

Will intercept.

This journey naive

your not going to happen.

- Fattuh.

- Yes, Miss Bell.

You know, along with the rest of us, we could be arrested

I'm ready.

Even for this?

Fattuh is always prepared.

Are you arrested.

You all are arrested.

Lieutenant, can I help you?

Without a permit from the authorities?

- There must be a misunderstanding...

- We allowed.

- Who are you?

Miss Gertrude Bell, know who you are.

Do you have any weapons?

No. We do not have.

- This document comes directly...

- coming directly from Istanbul.

Direct from the ministry.

Ms. Bell, I'm a thousand excuses.

I got a message from our office in Amman...

Yes... probably a man

was not informed by your Government.

Pathways are like a maze of bureaucracy.

It's always the same, even in London.

In our foreign office, so...

- Really?

- Yes Yes.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Your horses seem to be thirsty.

Want to stay a little time with us?

Where did you get permission?

Fattuh.

Lieutenant.

You came from

garrison near the rail tracks?

Yes, Miss.

And how many knights are stationed there?

60. Cam

But their number is decreasing.

We will be 100 in April.

- Do you still have artillery?

- It's over.

I would have to say that.

I'm just a traveler and scientist.

Everyone knows

Ottoman Empire forces are somewhat overstretched.

In fact, everything is on paper, officially.

But the outpost is not on paper.

Lieutenant.

I want to take a picture.

You are very kind,

lady Bell.

- Dv and your people. You agree?

- Yes, I would love to.

Because you do not want to wear a military secret

,

I will give negative exposed.

- You can get it developed in Aman.

- Thank you.

I would suggest to stay in the middle.

Yes.

The light is wonderful.

Here.

Yards.

Dear diary

We arrived at an oasis that has something of a fable Bedouin.

Desert Solitude gives me

consolation in their solitude.

Fattuh I asked why I call

two glasses of tea.

Let's say that one is for

man who lives in my heart?

Every day before.

And it's the same routine installation camp known.

But as we sank more than

in the desert

On so much it seems like a dream.

Some days we go

lands that are almost impassable.

The hard crust of salt,

like shards of porcelain.

Often do not follow no map, just go where I lead

curiosity.

East of the Dead Sea Wadi Mujib explored hidden Strait.

I never expected to find

so fresh water in the desert.

The more I immerse more in this mysterious maze

,

With me was discovering so much.

Near the end of the strait,

Fattuh found something strange.

It has proven to be a spear head Neolithic.

For at least 10,000 years.

I speculated that prehistoric

must have been a war here.

And it must have been a very

device.

Fattuh said

But you can not.

In that time the world was a paradise.

And havens will appear again if you live a life

right.

As predicted Prophet.

Paradise has no time, age or sanctuary.

Awaits us.

This prompted me to flesh out more

archeology.

Not far from the strait's British excavation site of Petra.

I traveled hard,

because of rain early.

Regards

Welcome, Ms. Bell!

Welcome to our home!

I'm Campbell Thompson, and he's my colleague

T.E. Lawrence.

What does "T.E." ?

T.E. Edward Thomas comes from.

I despise both surname.

I'm disgusting.

- Please tell me Lawrence.

- I will, Lawrence.

I knew you were coming.

Really?

I sent messengers.

A variety of stars you saw night

Sand during the day and restless

announced your steps.

Sorry, it is always so.

What makes a school like you here,

Lawrence?

The school has a doctorate in archeology.

Thompson...

I have a doctorate in medieval pottery shards of

And keep me as a fragrance

basinii old girls.

Long to get rid of it!

We?

Place that's a pile of garbage.

Everything was stolen by grave robbers.

Repeatedly.

We are stuck here.

Lawrence dream big treasure, hoards of gold

.

Least...

God Almighty give us some tablets clay

Such as those that have been excavated by the Germans in Mesopotamia.

Our methods of excavation

compares to theirs.

True, Gertrude, dear.

"Dear."

You know, I made a big mistake

wearing this belt.

That belt is worn only bachelors.

And...?

And...

local workers working on excavations
