As she prepares breakfast, Lucy worries that David will figure out what happened between her and Faber the night before. Things are worse when Faber comes downstairs. David asks Faber how he slept, and Lucy flushes, giving herself away. David doesn’t say anything but invites Faber to join him on his morning chores. David puts on his oilskin and goes to get the jeep, leaving Faber and Lucy alone. Lucy confesses that she believes David knows, and Faber says it doesn’t matter.

Faber joins David in the jeep. Faber tells David he is a civil servant, working in finance. David questions Faber’s story, expressing disbelief based on his appearance and age. They arrive at Tom’s cottage, and the three men have a cup of tea together. They go out to check on the sheep, finding that one has fallen into a gully and broken its leg. Tom kills the injured sheep, and Faber helps him take it up to the jeep. They return to Tom’s cottage for tea, then David and Faber head home. On the drive home, David tells Faber about training to be a pilot in the war. He stops the jeep at the halfway point of the island and tells Faber he saw the film in his jacket pocket.
