Katie introduces him to their rescuers, an Englishman named Browne (Trevor Howard) and the Dutch archaeologist Dr. van Anders (Peter van Eyck), who live on the estate with Jan (Carlos Henning) a third European. Latimer feels that he once met the cordial Browne, a big game hunter himself, but cannot place it. The more suspicious and secretive Anders asks about a rifle bullet that Latimer always carries with him, which Latimer relates is a souvenir and good luck charm from the D-Day invasion, a time when his courage failed him. Almost immediately the couple senses that things are not as they appear.
