- Time for the saddest flashback ever.
- Hana lies in bed and reads Katharine's final words, that she wrote in the cave.
- Katharine writes that the fire is out, and she is cold.
- In the flashback, Almásy carries Katharine's body out of the cave, crying the whole time.
- "The lamp's gone out, and I'm writing in the darkness," Hana reads in the present.
- And Almásy is dead.
- In the flashback, Almásy flies away with Katharine's body in the plane.
- Back the present, Hana is leaving the monastery. She brings Almásy's book with her.
- Cavaggio has found a truck for Hana to ride in to Florence.
- Hana watches the monastery recede behind them as the truck drives away.
- One final flashback shows Almásy flying over the rolling dunes of Egypt.
- And in the present, Hana rides forward through the green countryside.
- The end.
