The two men were dead ringers for each other; even Maja could mistake one for the other in dim light, and with Number 8 not

getting so well with lan, the chances of a mix-up were high.

So, as they waited for Sarah to react to the trinkets, they also needed to head over to Rachel's location. It was crucial to stop that

car and check out what was inside.
