Robbie, meanwhile, returns to his bungalow to write a letter to Cecilia. In one version of the letter he includes some lewd suggestions. He then inadvertently delivers this version of the letter to Cecilia via Briony, who reads it and is convinced, in her fertile imagination, that Robbie is a "sex maniac". Upon reading the note, Cecilia realizes her love for Robbie, and they declare their love for each other in the library. Briony interrupts their lovemaking, which she interprets as an attack on her sister.

8. The Worst Word - 1 min 31 sec
Briony discusses the "sex maniac" letter with her friend

9. The Investigation - 55 sec
During dinner, the twin cousins run away, leaving a letter, and people begin searching for them in the extensive grounds of the estate. In the dark, Briony comes across Lola being raped by an unknown attacker. Briony convinces herself that the rapist is Robbie, and Lola acquiesces. The police arrive to investigate, and when Robbie arrives with the rescued twins he is arrested solely on account of Briony's testimony. Apart from Robbie's mother only Cecilia believes in his innocence.

10. Robbie's Letter Home - 52 sec
We follow Robbie Turner in France during the Dunkirk evacuation of 1940. As a result of Briony's accusation, Robbie spent three years in prison before enlisting in the army. He has been in contact with Cecilia through letters, and she has promised that she'll wait for him. They've only met once since his arrest, a fleeting half hour spent in awkwardness, but they shared a kiss before Cecilia had to leave.

11. The Story - 45 sec
A friend asks Briony about her "Two Figures at the Fountain" tell-all-story. Context: Briony is now working as a trainee nurse in London during the weeks leading up to and following the Dunkirk evacuation. She now believes it was Paul Marshall who raped Lola in 1935, and feels guilty for accusing Robbie. During the course of this section, it becomes apparent to the reader that Briony sees her work as a nurse as a sort of redemption; she effectively sent Robbie to a horrible war, and now she is nursing soldiers like him.
