This chapter is written on November 16, 1943, also in the Gestapo headquarters in Ormaie, France. Having run out of paper, Julie cannot continue writing her confession, so it has been four days since she last wrote a chapter. She is devastated because the Nazis have shown her pictures of the burned out cockpit of Maddie’s plane. Though she does not describe the pictures, Julie believes that Maddie is dead.

After two days in the dark, locked in her room, she is taken to the basement to help the cook. Julie finds blank recipe cards and works out a deal with the cook to take them to von Linden. Certain sentences and phrases are underlined in this chapter. Julie admits that she is confused and has lost the thread of her narrative. She explains what happened to her in the weeks leading up to the writing of her confession, giving details of her torture. She realizes that nine days of her two weeks have elapsed. She decides to beg von Linden for more time, another week, to write down her story.

Julie takes up Maddie’s story again. Dympna arrives at Maddie’s air station with an Anson airplane.
