En route, the group are reunited with a Brigade of British troops, who too are evacuating to Dunkirk. Whilst making their way by road, their convoy is attacked by a fleet of German Messerschmitt aircraft. Many British are killed and the team break ranks and move off alone, only, again, to be plagued by ghostly images of those recently killed.
