- After Caravaggio accuses Almásy of being a spy, Almásy has a flashback.
- Madox says goodbye to Almásy as he is planning to leave Cairo.
- Before he leaves, he tells Almásy that the hollow at the base of the neck is a "supersternal notch."
- Back in the present, Caravaggio asks Almásy if he killed the Cliftons.
- Almásy denies that too.
- Then he says, "Maybe I did."
- Here's another flashback to explain what he means.
- Almásy is packing up base camp at the Cave of the Swimmers.
- Clifton flies his little yellow plane to pick him up…
- Except he's not picking him up. He dive bombs Almásy who dives out of the way at the last moment.
- The plane shatters into pieces and careens across the desert.
- Almásy races for the plane. Clifton is dead.
- And Katharine is in the passenger seat.
- She's alive, but injured.
- Katharine says that Geoffrey knew about the affair. He wanted to kill all of them.
- Almásy extracts Katharine from the wreckage and carries her across the cliff face.
- Wrapped in a white parachute billowing in the wind, she's the most gorgeous plane crash victim ever.
- As Almásy is carrying her, she tells him, "I always loved you," and he cries as he carries her.
- He stores her in the Cave of the Swimmers, covering her with a blanket and making a fire.
- Almásy says he'll walk to town and get help.
- Katharine asks him to promise. "I don't want to die in the desert," she says.
- He promises he'll come back for her.
- He leaves her with a flashlight, water, his book of Caravaggio, and dinner of champions: cans of meat. When you're stuck in a cave, you can't go wrong with Spam.
