Reluctant to return home to Vichy-occupied France Dr. Trier hands over her research notes to Dr. Mason,who is concerned for Lilian's sanity. Rose gets a message from Bernard and,whilst the Japanese are celebrating the emperor's birthday,slips out into the jungle to meet him in a hut. He tells her that Peter is dead and Tom in solitary confinement for stealing paper. They agree to marry after the war but the soldiers become aware of Rose's absence and follow her into the jungle. The women are shocked to hear two shots ring out.

Bobby is ostracized by the other children whilst some of the internees attack Lilian for betraying Rose with the result that the mother and son are transferred to another camp for their own protection. Christina,however,finds it hard to accept the other prisoners' apologies for suspecting her. Rose finally learns Bernard's fate and sinks into a depression,asking Dr. Mason to kill her. The doctor refuses,knowing that Rose is dying anyway but when,next day she announces to the others that Rose passed away peacefully in the night it is suggested that she may have helped her on her way
