I'm looking for someone named Willem Arondeus.
They might be able to help me.
Who are you? What good are you to me?
If I help you, how're you going to be able to help me?
Something's changed.
You're distant and... and you always have to go.
-Nothing's changed. -No, you're lying.
We don't lie to each other, remember?
MIEP: Why did you go to church? What else are you lying about?
I'm doing what you're doing.
You said yes to Mr. Frank, I said yes, too.
I can't tell you more than that.
We're not doing enough.
When you feel like that, there’s only one thing you can do.
We're going to start a fire.

ANNE: That was a perfect day.
You looked so beautiful.
I mean, you got so excited, you forgot to say, "I do." (CHUCKLING)
Oh! Sorry, um... I do. I do. Oh, do you?
-I do. -(CHUCKLES)
-(SMOOCHES) -(SMOOCHES, CHUCKLES)
(APPLAUSE)
You remember my wedding better than I do.
I mean, it was the most romantic thing I had ever seen.
You remember it very differently, too. I just found it really stressful.
How was it not the most romantic day of your life?
Mm. We got married in a government building.
Yeah, but you looked so beautiful and Jan looked so handsome.
(CHUCKLES)
I mean, I did... I did wonder if I'd ever be as in love as you two were.
Why are you being so sappy all of a sudden?
-What have you done with my Anne? -(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
-Miep? -Yeah?
-Okay, can you keep a secret? -Uh, Anne, look where we are.
Okay. Um, so... (INHALES DEEPLY)
-So? -...yesterday, uh, during the air raids...
Mm.
...Peter came up and he asked if I was okay.
I mean, I was, Pim was here, but you know, Peter, he was...
he was so nice.
-But you... you have a crush on Peter! -No, I mean...
-No, no, no, no, no. We just talk and... -Hmm. (CHUCKLES)
He teaches me certain things about myself
and, I mean, I do the same to him. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) But he's just very nice.
(CHUCKLES) You have a crush on Peter.
-Stop it! (LAUGHS) -(LAUGHS, SNORTS)
This thing between Anne and Peter won't do.
MIEP: It's harmless, isn't it?
-I mean, when I was at that age it... -EDITH: Yes.
But you wouldn't live in a tiny warren of rooms
with seven other people
-including that boy's parents. -Hmm.
I don't have to tell you all the ways this could go horribly wrong.
All these feelings will have to wait until after the war.
-I don't know if you can just stop them. -(SCOFFS) No.
No, I'm not sure I can. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
I need you, too, to discourage Anne from continuing with the Van Pels' boy.
-But Mrs. Frank, it's... (SIGHS) -EDITH: Please, Miep,
you... you've been keeping us wonderfully safe throughout all this.
(INHALES DEEPLY) And this situation doesn't feel safe.
WILLEM: We Dutch, we keep very meticulous records,
and so we've basically provided the Nazis with a detailed register
of who and where our Jewish citizens are.
So, what's the solution? How do we counter that?
-We blow up the Civil Registry Office. -(ALL SIGH)
And every record inside.
Our friend Jan has already taken a huge risk.
He's used his access as a social worker to explore the layout of the building.
-Thank you, Jan. -(INHALES DEEPLY) I knew the place a bit.
We're blowing up the building I got married in. (CHUCKLES)
That's very romantic, Jan.
-Thank you for that. -(ALL CHUCKLES)
So, using Jan's intel, I've made a map of the building,
and where the greatest numbers
-of records are kept. -Oh. Hold on, hold on, hold on! (STUTTERS)
Okay, with an action this big, there will be reprisals,
and the Nazis, they will hit back.
For those of you that participate in this, you may be hunted. You may be killed.
I'm saying that there is no shame if any of you want to back out now.
Okay, well come and have a look, then. (CHUCKLES)
FRIEDA: Right, so what we see is the courtyard here.
-There's pictures of everything. -Thank you. Thank you for your help.
You're welcome. (INHALES DEEPLY) We're just getting started.
Now, hold on. You're... you're too valuable for this one, okay?
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -I want to do as much as I can.
Look, you've already done what no one else can.
Your access has... has made it possible, it's more than enough.
Thank you.
(FRIEDA SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
So, let's see the first floor. Willem, did you have the...
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(BICYCLE BELL DINGING)
MAN: My pleasure, my pleasure.
I'll see you around, uh, sometime this afternoon.
-SHOPKEEPER: Hey, Cas. -CASMIR: Good morning.
-MIEP: I saw Cas today. -Oh, yeah? How's he doing?
Dunno.
(SPITS) I hid from him.
I mean, the last time we spoke wasn't great.
And I've stopped seeing my family.
It's much easier to lie to them if I just don't see them at all.
Bit like you, really.
(JAN CHUCKLES) What's that supposed to mean?
MIEP: Hmm.
Well, since you've started working with the Resistance,
you leave in the morning, come home,
and I don't know anything you've done in the day.
-(DOOR KNOCKING) -MIEP: Yeah?
MRS. STOPPELMAN: Oh, sorry, Jan.
Um, what time do we have to be at the train station?
Uh, train for Hilversum leaves at 5:30. And we really can't be late. (EXHALES)
Lady who's agreed to hide you is getting a little antsy.
-Hmm. -MRS. STOPPELMAN: Well,
I might not sleep at all. (INHALES DEEPLY)
This is all so sudden, are you sure this is necessary?
I know, it's nerve-wracking, but it is the best thing to do.
Even Max says it's time to get out of Amsterdam.
It's just not safe here.
-Yes. -MIEP: Yes.
(INHALES) Oh, well, um...
-I'll see you in the morning. -MIEP: Night, night.
-JAN: (EXHALES) Goodnight. -Night.
(JAN SIGHS)
What were we talking about?
Oh, yeah. That we never talk about anything anymore.
(CHUCKLES)
After the war's over, I'll tell you everything. I promise.
-(GRUNTS, SNIFFS) -I saw this great pair of shoes today.
Do you remember those ones I used to have? The red ones with the little strap?
Mm-mm.
What? How can you not remember them? I wore them on our first date.
JAN: Mm.
(EXHALES SHARPLY, GRUNTS)
Get this as well, Anne has a crush on Peter. (CHUCKLES)
And Mrs. Frank asked me to put a stop to it, but how can I?
How can I break her little heart like that?
Anne thinks that we got married in a rush because we were so in love,
we couldn't wait.
Can't believe you don't remember those shoes. (CHUCKLES)
(JAN SNORES)
-Hello, you found us. -JAN: Yeah, thank you.
You'll stay in my daughter's old room, it's a small bed, but a down duvet.
It'll be lovely, I'm sure. Thank you so much for this.
It's so... (SIGHS) ...stressful in Amsterdam,
the razzias seem to be getting closer and closer. (CHUCKLES)
-Well, we all have to do what we can. -(CHUCKLES) Thank you.
(WHISPERS) It all works out rather well as it happens.
Okay. This is going well.
-Hmm. -Maybe we can get the early train back.
-(BIRDS CHIRPING) -But why are you so antsy to leave?
I thought we could have a walk by the pond.
-It's so pretty here. -Oh, no, I have to get back. (EXHALES)
For what?
Will you just tell me? This is what I was talking about.
-Do you want me to make something up? -No. Just trust me.
And wha... what is it? Stealing IDs? Delivering money?
-Are you hiding another family? -(SIGHS)
Don't want to wait until after the war. I want my husband back.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
I'm right here.
Hmm? Hmm? Hmm.
-(CHUCKLES, SMOOCHES) -Hmm. Mm. (SMOOCHES)
-(KISSES) -Is it bad that
I'm pretty excited that Mrs. Stoppelman... (CHUCKLES) ...is moving to the country?
We'll have the whole apartment to ourselves.
I warn you, I might never wear a bra ever again.
-I support this plan. -I might not wear any clothes at all.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
-Hey! You're here. I'm Kuno. (EXHALES) -JAN: Ah. Hi, Kuno.
-Jan. -(DOOR CLOSING)
-Ah, yes. -Miep.
Miep. Yeah. Thank you so much for... for doing this.
JAN: Oh, no, sir, not at all. Thank you. Thank... thank your mother.
No, it's worked out really well.
-Yeah, uh... -But, I'm sorry... (CHUCKLES)
-...it does. -...what does exactly.
I have a girlfriend in Amsterdam. So, uh, that will be great.
(CHUCKLES) So, uh...
-When are we leaving? -Uh, K... Kuno, uh, sweetheart,
I haven't talked to them yet about this part.
(CHUCKLES) Kuno's at university here, and he's got himself
into a little bit of trouble with the local Nazi Party.
-I wouldn't sign their loyalty patch. -Yeah.
-I'm sorry. -Kuno. (SHUSHES)
And so, I thought, well, since Kuno is wanted in Hilversum,
and Mrs. Stoppelman can't be in Amsterdam because she's Jewish,
well, why not make a trade?
It seemed only fair. And I know you have the room.
-Sounds great. -(CHUCKLES)
I don't know if Peter even cares about me. He's spending so much time with Margot.
Well... (SCOFFS) ...to be fair his options are limited.
I mean, she's always going up there.
(INHALES) Well, maybe...
maybe that's just how it's meant to be, you know?
-Maybe Margot is more his type. -Margot?
For goodness sake, Anne, I'm only helping him with his maths.
Stop listening in.
MARGOT: What? I... I can't help it, you're so loud.
Besides, I... I don't think of Peter in that way.
(GRUNTS)
MARGOT: Listen.
If you want to pursue something with him, I... I think you should.
Maybe neither of you should be thinking about him.
I just wish he'd give me a sign. (EXHALES DEEPLY)
-How did you know Jan loved you? -How did... Yeah? How did he propose?
Yeah, how did he propose? Tell us everything. (CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES) Okay, well, firstly, there was a lot of shit.
-Miep! (LAUGHS) -Oh, my gosh. (CHUCKLES)
Okay, let me go back. All right, so, after the occupation,
the Nazis were trying to get rid of "undesirables."
-Besides Jews? -Yeah.
Yeah, and I became an undesirable because I was an immigrant here.
So, the Nazis called me into the government offices
and revoked my passport.
They told me I had three months to leave the country.
I was scared to death.
Your father actually caught me crying at my desk
-and forced me to tell him what was wrong. -(GASPS)
MIEP: I have a good job, I have a good man.
T... this is my home, I don't want to leave.
Well, you can't. I need you here. Besides, Anne would never forgive me
-if I let you go. -(MIEP CHUCKLES)
-Marry him. -MIEP: What?
You said yourself, you have a good man.
Marry the Dutchman.
(MIEP EXHALES)
Jan, at the time,
was working about an hour south of Amsterdam for a week.
He was helping his friends on their farm with the harvest
by... (CHUCKLES) ...shoveling manure to fertilize the fields.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Have you finalized your divorce? (PANTS)
'Cause we need to get married, like... like yesterday,
or I'm going to be kicked out of the country.
-(MOSQUITO BUZZING) -So...
if you... if you love me, let's do this. And fast.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Oh, no, wait. Ah, did I get this all wrong?
-No, no, no. It's... -Wait, do you not want this?
-No, no, no, it's not... it's not that... -Well, you have a funny way of showing it!
"Well, someday we'll go to Paris, Miep." Well, you talk about having kids!
-Wha... Kids! -No, uh... (EXHALES)
MIEP: Have you been stringing me along this whole time?
Is this all some big con? 'Cause I can do much better than you, pal.
Stop it! Stop. I've already divorced her. It's done.
-What? -Yes. I did it a month ago.
I was going to tell you once I bought the ring I've been saving for.
Oh.
-And then I was going to ask your father. -Why?
Then I was going to find somewhere to propose to you, Miep.
Like... like, in front of the bar where we first met,
or on the bridge, where we had our first kiss.
Anywhere, anywhere on God's green Earth except the middle of this shitfield.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
And if you think you can do better than me,
-then... maybe you should. -MIEP: No, no, wait, wait. I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry, wait. Wait, I... -(WATER SPLASHING)
I do want you to propose to me. Propose to me.
-(CHUCKLES) No! -MIEP: What?
If not now, then later, whenever and however you want
but you can't do it if I'm on a train to Vienna.
-Oh, God. (EXHALES) -So, so...
-What are you doing? -Jan...
What are you doing? What are you doing?
-(LAUGHS) -Oh, my God. (LAUGHS)
-Firstly, I can do much better than you. -(CHUCKLES)
And secondly, will you make me the happiest girl in the world
by marrying me so I can stay in the country with you, please?
-Yes. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) -(SCREAMS) No! No, don't drop me.
(CHUCKLES) No!
-(SMOOCHES) Mm-hmm. -(SMOOCHES) Mm.
(CHUCKLES)
-MARGOT: You proposed to him? -(ANNE CHUCKLES)
Oh, you and Jan proved that two people can fall in love,
I mean, even in the most unacceptable circumstances. (CHUCKLES)
Well, it wasn't quite as romantic as that.
Yes, it is. I mean, it seems inspiring and amazing and perfect.
-Seriously. (CHUCKLES) -(ANNE CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES)
-(KEYS RATTLING) -(DOOR LOCK CLICKING)
-(HENDRIKA CHUCKLES, KISSES) -(KUNO KISSES)
Oh, oh! God! Uh...
-Uh! Oh, my God. Uh... -Sorry, sorry, sorry...
-Oh! Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. -Ah! Oh, I'm sorry. I... (GRUNTS)
Oh! (BREATHES HEAVILY)
-Hey, Jan. (EXHALES) -(CHUCKLES) Hey, Kuno.
I thought I was in the wrong apartment.
-(HENDRIKA CHUCKLES) -JAN: I'm so sorry.
-I wanted to die. -I'm sorry, I'm sorry. (CHUCKLES)
I did tell Kuno that since he can't go out,
-he can bring Hendrika over here. -JAN: Okay, well, next time I'll knock.
-(CHUCKLES) -In your own apartment? Why?
JAN: (CHUCKLES) Oh, I wonder why. What do you think?
-Uh, this was delicious, really. -Hmm.
-Yes, thank you. -Where are you going?
Uh, I've got some work, things to be getting on with.
What kind of work do you do?
Yeah, Jan, yeah, tell us what kind of work do you do?
-(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Not much to tell. -No. No, he doesn't tell me anything.
All I know is it's very dangerous.
Every time he leaves the house, I'm worried I'll never see him again.
-Oh, come on, what is it? -He really doesn't tell you?
No, he hasn't for months now. But I've tried to guess.
I think I've put two and two together, I think...
think he works, um, for the circus.
-(CHUCKLES) -A tightrope walker, or...
-(CHUCKLES) -or maybe a clown.
-(CLEARS THROAT) -(CHUCKLES) No.
I thought you were a social worker.
I am a social worker. Don't listen to this lady.
(KISSES) It's all very boring stuff, believe you me.
-Very boring. -See you later.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(BICYCLE BELL DINGING)
-(SPITS) -JAN: Professor?
Mr. Broers.
Hello, Jan. You look well. You staying safe?
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Still want to argue with me that Nietzsche had it wrong?
Quiet.
-JAN: What is this? -MR. BROERS: Jan...
These men saw fit to drop their trash in the streets, like pigs.
I dropped a candy wrapper. (EXHALES) I picked it up.
-Keep on working. -I have no more spit.
(SPITS)
-Use this, Jew. (BROERS' FRIEND GROANS)
-Hey! Hey! -Jan, Jan. Keep walking, son.
It's okay.
(BROERS' FRIEND GROANS, SOBS)
Keep cleaning.
(DOOR OPENING, CLOSING)
I need to be a part of the operation. The Records Office.
-Yeah, I've already told you. -JAN: No, no, no. No.
I understand I'm valuable in my position, okay, I get it, but it's not enough.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
People could be giving up their lives for this
and I get a free pass because of my job? No.
I will not stand by anymore.
Jan...
I don't doubt for a second
that you'd be willing to give your life for this cause.
But this action...
this action requires people who are willing to take a life for it.
And I just don't think you've got it in you.
It's not a bad thing, it's just...
it's not you.
"There is a certain right by which we may deprive a man of life."
WILLEM: What's that supposed to mean?
It's Nietzsche.
It means, "Try me."
Okay.
I will.
There is a certain Nazi officer
who makes the schedules of the razzias in town.
He alone decides which neighborhoods are raided and when.
Each week, this prick visits the same prostitute at the same time
in a hotel on the Warmoesstraat. Like clockwork.
If you can't do it...
just walk away.
It's fine.
It's good, in fact.
(HEARTBEAT THUMPING)
VIGO: What?
(GASPS, BREATHES HEAVILY)
(IMITATES GROANING)
-(GASPS) What the hell is going on? -VIGO: He did it! (LAUGHS)
-This son of a bitch killed me! (LAUGHS) -This was a test?
We had to know for sure what you could do, and now, we do.
(GASPS, PANTS)
-And so, do you. -He didn't think you could.
-(LAUGHS) -Get off me.
-VIGO: You owe me a beer. -(YELLS) Bastards!

-VIGO: Shots. (CHUCKLES) -(CHUCKLES)
How are you?
I, uh... (EXHALES)
-I'd like to be very drunk. -VIGO: Well, you've earned it.
-(CHUCKLES) -Cheers.
-FRIEDA: Cheers. -Let's cheer.
Jessica said it's risky if I quit.
-Cas, are you listening? -Yeah.
-Oh, yes. -Girls.
-(OTTO CHUCKLES) -(GASPS, CHUCKLES)
-(ALL CHEER) -Happy anniversary!
-CROWD: Happy anniversary! -Yeah!
-(CHUCKLES) -(BLOWS AIR)
-OTTO: Yeah! -Yes!
-(CROWD APPLAUD) -Thank you. Thank you so much.
MIEP: But you must have used all your butter in this.
MRS. VAN PELS: Don't you worry about that.
Well, I still think we should have waited for Jan.
OTTO: We'll save him some cake. Tell Jan he's missed.
(AIR RADAR BLARING)
-OTTO: All right, everyone down. -(INDISTINCT CLAMOR)

-Pim! -(FIGHTER JET WHIRRING)
-OTTO: It's all right. -MIEP: It's okay.
-What did I say, darling? -(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Air raids are good because it means the English...
-Are knocking the daylights... -...are knocking the daylights...
-...out of the Nazis. Yes. -...out of the Nazis.
-(BOMBS EXPLODING) -(SCREAMS)
They're going to shoot a plane down right into our building.
-It's all right. It's all right. -HERMANN: Not now, Gusti.
-AUGUSTE: Well... -OTTO: What are they doing?
CROWD: They're knocking the daylights out of the Nazis.
That's right.
-(GLASS CLATTERING, SHATTERING) -(JAN BREATHES HEAVILY)

(GUNSHOTS)
You know, you... you don't need to come tomorrow.
I've got someone to replace you anyway.
Ma... martyrdom is sexy, but it's not very smart.
It's... (BREATHES DEEPLY) ...it's fine to look after yourself.
-I am looking after myself. -(AIR RADAR BLARING)
I feel like a coward if I live the rest of this war
just stealing IDs and ferrying groceries to hidden people,
knowing you all risked everything. (SNIFFS)
I'll live the rest of my life feeling like I didn't do enough.
Hmm.
Trust me, even if you do go tomorrow and even if you get out safely,
you always feel like you never did enough.
(DOOR OPENING)
(MIEP SNIFFLES)
-Oh, sorry. -No, It's fine. (SNIFFLES) It's fine.
(DOOR LOCK CLICKING)
-Is she asleep? -OTTO: (WHISPERS) Yeah. Finally.
You know the last time I found you crying, I remember that I...
I... I told you to marry your Dutchman
-and perhaps it was... -It's fine.
-We're fine. -OTTO: Good.
So, why are you crying?
(EXHALES)
I was just thinking about these shoes that I wanted to buy.
-Shoes? -(CHUCKLES) I know...
I know, they're really nice shoes, though. (CHUCKLES)
Obviously, I can't afford them.
Then I thought, "Where would I even wear them?"
And I couldn't think of a...
of a world where I'd wear them...
ever again. (SNIFFLES)
-Buy the shoes. -MIEP: I never should have brought it up.
You have to.
I just spent almost an hour there trying to convince Anne
that, uh, we'll find our way through this, that...
she has something to look forward to.
And if you found a pair of shoes that makes you feel like this...
give you hope, something to look forward to...
buy them.
It's a good pair of shoes. (CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Yes.
-Good night. -MIEP: Night.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-CASMIR: Hello. Miep? -(DOOR KNOCKING)
-Cas? -We need to talk, if we still do that.
-MIEP: Oh, God. Is it Mom and Dad? -No, no, they're fine, it's, uh...
(INHALES) it's about Jan.
I have seen Jan the past few weeks...
Um, meeting with these people and drinking with them in this...
particular bar.
A bar for homosexuals?
But... What... You think Jan is...?
(CHUCKLES) No. Uh, it's not just a bar for homosexuals,
it's a bar where Resistance fighters meet.
So, this is what all the secrets have been about?
Why you've stopped coming to see us?
Because you and Jan are working for the Resistance?
Yes.
Right, and so this... this thing Jan is going to do, aren't you worried?
-What thing? -What?
I don't know what it is, but I thought you would.
No, he doesn't tell me anything. What thing?
Um, well, the... the guy I'm seeing is in with the Resistance people
and he says that they're planning something.
They're going, um, kill somebody or... or blow something up. Something big.
-When? -Tonight.
Miep, they... they...
they're acting like nobody's coming back from this.
They've been drinking and... and... and toasting
like they're going off to war.
You have to speak to him.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
I found this in your underwear drawer.
Jan. Jan, you said it was...
-you said it was shuffling papers. -(GUN COCKING)
-Don't worry. -Don't placate me, and do not lie to me.
-(BREATHES DEEPLY) -I deserve to know.
(WHISPERS) Look...
is it dangerous?
-Could you die? -(EXHALES)
-Will you die? -Do you really want to know?
Yes, it's dangerous.
Maybe I'll die.
Well, you can't go.
-JAN: What? -Do you love me?
-Are you serious? -MIEP: If you do, you won't go.
Miep, you can't say that. You can't say that.
Miep, I'm a Dutchman and my country needs me.
I need you.
(SNIFFLES) Jan, this is my line. Everyone has one and this is mine.
Please, don't go. Please, you can't go. If you love me, you cannot go. Don't go.
(SOBS) Don't go.
(EXHALES)
I'll see you later.
(DOOR OPENING)
ANNE: Miep, I am so glad to see you.
Pim says that I can't speak to Peter anymore
-because it's too inappropriate. -(DOOR CLOSING)
MIEP: Actually, your father's just who I've came to talk to.
Oh, you can't speak to him now, he's in a mood.
He's got a headache. Well, it was because of the air raid.
He's been staying up with me 'cause I can't sleep.
-But, listen, okay... -(EXHALES SHARPLY) If I could have
five consecutive minutes...
It's all mother. It doesn't sound like Pim.
Mother doesn't understand what love is.
I mean, her marriage is a loveless partnership,
-a marriage of convenience... -God, Anne, Anne,
you have this idea about love, it's not real.
It's not the dream you think it is. Nobody has love like that.
-You and Jan do. -Jan and I were a marriage of convenience.
I married him so I could stay in the country.
Everything you remember about my wedding is completely wrong.
It was the scariest day of my life.
I was committing fraud that day, Anne.
I was trying to get married with an invalid passport
and I could have been deported.
I forgot to say, "I do," not because I was swooning over Jan
but because I was terrified that the man would see the stamped page
in my passport and have me arrested, there and then!
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
(COUGHS) Excuse me. Sorry.
MIEP: Thank God, Jan coughed to distract him.
(COUGHS, INHALES)
I was trying not to get arrested, just like you.
And to confuse that with love, well, it's just stupid.
Do you understand? Listen, you're growing up.
Maybe it's time to start acting a bit grown up about this.
The best and safest thing you could do is steer clear of Peter.
Love will only get you hurt.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
-I... (EXHALES) ...understand, I will. -MIEP: Good.
Miep? Anne, go upstairs.
I need to talk to you.
I asked you to discourage Anne from getting involved with Van Pels' boy,
not to scare her out of ever falling in love.
Sorry. Sorry.
What's wrong?
What's happened between you and Jan?
We're struggling. It's bad. It's... it's really bad.
Well, ja, well, these are trying times for any marriage.
And the war makes things even more complicated.
No. No, he's... he's gone to do something really dangerous, you know,
f... for the war effort.
And, uh, I asked him not to go and he... he said he'd be back
but he knows he might not and...
he just left.
Ja, I understand.
Ten years ago, Otto came to me and said, "I have a terrible feeling.
"I'm moving you and the girls out of Germany."
Well, I didn't want to go, Miep.
I mean, if you'd seen the life I had in Germany,
you would have wanted to stay, too.
But I looked him in the eye and I said, "All right, let's go."
And he brought us here for our safety.
And I hated him. God, I hated Otto for taking it away from me.
-Thank God you believed him. -Oh, no, I didn't believe him, I knew him.
I know his heart and he knows mine. (INHALES DEEPLY)
And even when I hated him, I never stopped loving him.
(EXHALES)
Marriages grow up, too, Miep, you have to let them.
Anne calls our marriage passionless, but... but she doesn't know.
Otto knows how to keep us safe,
and how I want to raise a daughter, and how I like exactly to take my tea.
There's something very romantic in that. Don't you think?
Hmm.
You know Anne, she doesn't know about all that.
She... she's brilliant. Yeah, she's impertinent...
-(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) -...but she's only 14.
She's only 14.
-(HEAVY EXPLOSION) -ANNE: Mother?
-EDITH: What is this? This noise? -(SOBS) They're back. It was so close!
But there's no air raid signal! What was that?
It... it wasn't anti-aircraft.
Jan.
I have to go.
(INDISTINCT CLAMOR)
(GLASS CLATTERING)
(PAPERS RUSTLING)
VICTOR: Oh, it was definitely the Resistance.
BEP: Yeah, but why would we blow up our own building, though?
Oh, Bep. So, the Nazis will have no records of the Jews.
-Oh, the records. (CHUCKLES) -(CHUCKLES)
-Morning. -Good morning.
-Did you hear? -The records building was bombed
and the Nazis arrested a bunch of Resistance fighters.
MIEP: Hmm. I've heard.
You're late, we're almost open. Did you sleep in?
(CHUCKLES)
MIEP: No.
ANNE: I've got something to show you but you can't be angry at me.
-(WHISPERS) Jan? Is Jan here? -Look right here.
-Wh... I don't see anything. -Peter kissed me. I mean, right here.
It was a little awkward at first 'cause I was turning my head
but he kissed me right there with both of his lips.
I mean, I had my first kiss. (CHUCKLES)
MIEP: Here, put the groceries away.
Hey, uh, when's Jan coming home? We thought we could play bridge or...
-I'm not sure. -KUNO: Is there...
Is everything okay?
Is there anything we can do for you?
Um, if you have any plates or mugs in your bedroom,
you could bring them in here. Thanks.
-Are you all right? -MIEP: Yep.
BEP: Cas?
-Hi. -CASMIR: Hi.
(INHALES DEEPLY) Do you know anything?
-No. Do you? -No.
It's been two days.
Right, well, should we go and find some answers then?
-Come on. -I have to go. It's Jan.
(SOBS) He's... he's...
-All right, go. Go. -Yes.
Go.
-(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING) -(EXHALES DEEPLY)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Ah. She's here.
Hi.
We're looking for Jan Gies.
I don't know a Jan Gies.
Come on, you do. Because I've seen you with him.
-(CHUCKLES) I don't know a Jan Gies. -Jan is my husband.
I jus... I... I just need to know if he's been arrested,
or if he's alive, or...
I just... I just need to know.
Please?
I'm sorry.
I don't know Jan Gies.
Let's go.
No one's going to talk in here. They're all too scared.
-MAN: Bet, any news back? -WOMAN: Bet, what's going on?
All of you have been asking
and I can't keep saying it over and over...
so I'll tell you what I do know, once and for all.
Because we all know the official news is crap.
As you know, the Resistance has blown up the Civil Registry Office.
-(CROWD CHEER, APPLAUD) -For reasons I cannot fathom (EXHALES)
the Nazis believe some of our friends are responsible.
(CROWD CHEER, APPLAUD)
Some of our friends are unaccounted for, some have been arrested.
Here are the ones that we know are in custody.
Johan Brouwer...
Cornelius Roos...
Cees Honig.
(INHALES) Rudi Bloemgarten, sentenced to death.
(CROWD WHISPER)
Karl Gröger...
sentenced to death.
(CROWD WHISPER, SOB)
Willem Arondeus...
sentenced to death.
(CROWD WHISPER, SOB)
Willem has made a statement and his lawyer has passed this on.
Statement is this...
"Let it be known, that homosexuals are not cowards."

What's this?
BEP: Oh, I don't know. It was there when I got here.
It's German, what does it say?
"Shitfield."
Jan?
Jan!
(PANTS)
Oh, I thought you were gone. I thought I'd never see you again.
(EXHALES)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
You didn't go.
You didn't go 'ca... 'cause of me, and...
Well, now you hate me.
I love you.
(WHISPERS) I love you, too.
-Are you coming home? -(EXHALES DEEPLY)
It's still dangerous...
for you, for our friends.
I wasn't there, but... if people talk, they could name me.
(BREATHES HEAVILY) I won't ask you to stop, I won't, but...
I need you to tell me...
if you're in danger, I need to be in danger with you.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
I'll see you soon.
-(GASPS, SQUEALS) Is that for me? -Yes, yes. Sit down. (CHUCKLES)
Firstly, I want to apologize. I was wrong about you and Peter,
I shouldn't have told you to stop feeling what you're feeling.
Actually, I think I was wrong about Peter.
(SIGHS) I think that he needs me more than I need him.
-(LAUGHS) -What! What?
Nothing, nothing. You're just... You're growing up.
(CHUCKLES, INHALES) And you, you are not waiting, so...
Oh! That is one of my favorite dresses of yours.
-Good, 'cause it's one my favorites, too. -ANNE: Hmm.
-Of yours! -Miep. Wait, really?
-You need clothes that fit you. -Wait, this one's mine?
-(CHUCKLES) -Wait, really? (GASPS)
And you need... -(CHEERS, CHUCKLES)
these.
-Those are for me? -MIEP: Mm-hmm.
Thought I wanted them for myself but I don't need these, you do.
-No one's downstairs, go on, try them on. -Okay. (CHUCKLES, GASPS) Oh!
-Those look great! (CHUCKLES) -I absolutely love them. (CHUCKLES)
-Miep, where am I going to wear these? -Everywhere!
-You'll wear them... -(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)
-(EXCLAIMS) -...to a job interview and to dinner.
And that's for a girl who's just getting started.
(CHUCKLES)
MIEP: You'll wear them dancing, maybe you'll kiss a boy in them,
-maybe the wrong boy, but that's okay. -(ANNE CHUCKLING)
-You'll make mistakes... -(ANNE GASPING)
...learn from them, and just continue to grow.
And I can't wait to see it.
