We are going into hiding.
When we get there, we need your help getting food and medicine.
This is a hiding place.
You have to be quiet.
You can't walk or talk or make any noise at all.
How's Mr. Frank? He's fine.
I hear they're cracking down on the Jews.
That must be scary.
Could you spare a few more?
A little bit more meat on it perhaps?
Here, a little extra cheese for your poor mother.
How are we going to keep getting more food?
Do you know these children?
Who brought the kids here? Some SS man.
He dropped them off with Miep and Jan,
and said they'd better not be here when he gets back.
Do this for me and I will help you with your kids.
It's apartment 214.
They left it in a chest of drawers.
A packet of important papers.
A packet of papers!
Why the hell didn't you tell me?
What, what if I just left it there?
They're taking my grandbabies.
They have to go tonight.
Miep and I will take them.
Sinterklaas gifts?
Yes, yes, for my nieces and nephews.
My favorite time of the year.
Not yours?
Oh, it's just hard this year, isn't it?
When I was little, I loved it so much.
I used to put my shoes out the night before,
wake up in the morning early and rush outside to see
what Sinterklaas have got me.
To be honest, I still do it, actually.
Does he leave you anything?
Yes. Love notes.
But they're from my husband.
See?
Even in a hard year, we find a way to celebrate.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm a bit, I'm a bit short, but I have some,
some money at my work.
Um, would you mind holding on to these for me for a second and
I'll just be right back.
I'll just pop to the office.
Of course.
Oh, no.
No. No. No.
Oh, my God.
Please be there.
Hello? Mr. Frank?
What?
Please be all right.
Oh, no. No, no.
Mr. Frank!
Oh, my gosh.
Where are they? Hello?
Miep!
Oh, my God.
These men broke in last night.
I heard everything from the office kitchen.
The vent goes straight up to my room.
They tried to get in here! They kept shaking the doorknob!
Thank God the door was locked.
And thank goodness you came in!
And it's Sunday.
The offices had been completely ransacked.
I think the money is probably gone.
Oh, the money's gone.
No.
Oh, no. Not that money.
Yeah. Hey, what money?
Nothing. It's fine.
It's for our Hanukkah gifts.
Hanukkah? Oh, Margot.
I have ears, I hear things.
What do you mean by Hanukkah?
Miep, Miep, Miep.
Hanukkah? You're worried about Hanukkah?
I was told this place was safe.
A fortress, you all said.
Mr. Pfeffer, I think everybody's had enough.
"Doctor Pfeffer," Mrs. Frank!
I may have lost everything else,
but I must insist you leave me that at least.
Yeah.
The only thing that prevented us from being
discovered was that the thieves lacked the initiative
to open a locked door!
And for that matter, why are we all so confident that
they were thieves at all?
They could have been searching for Jews.
Doctor. Please.
A fortress! I believed you!
Yes. And we welcomed you.
Please don't repay our kindness by causing
distress to our children.
Your children.
Yes.
Well, my child is living in England with my brother
having forgotten me by now.
And my Lotte is probably about to forget me, too.
She's all I have left.
If, if I'm not safe here, I may as well go and be with her.
Hmm?
Where are you going? Doctor Pfeffer.
Packing my things. I'm going home.
No, no.
It's not safe. If you talk.
I won't talk. Calm down.
Miep, Miep, Miep! Quiet!
Please, sit down.
No one is going anywhere.
But you make a good point, Doctor.
Perhaps our hiding place is not so secret.
It's just a door.
Anyone can open it. We need to fix that.
Mm-hmm. Ah!
Perhaps this misfortune has befallen us to prevent
something worse happening later.
Leave it to a Jew to turn a tragedy into a blessing.
Oh.
Not just the money for the gifts,
but the envelope where I keep the ration books.
They've cleared us out.
It'll be okay. How? How?
They're not gonna have any food.
It could be a whole lot worse.
Can you imagine if some well-meaning neighbor
called the police?
Don't you do that, too. Do what?
Can I not just be angry before I look on the bright side?
I got here as soon as I could.
How are they?
They're resting. They were up all night.
Good God.
We need to do something about the door to the Annex.
I don't know.
Cover it up or, I don't know.
I don't know what we're gonna do about Pfeffer.
What's wrong with Pfeffer?
He's really, really struggling.
I didn't know he had a child.
How did I not know that?
I always commiserate with Anne when he's short with her.
I think he's just a big bully who doesn't understand children.
But he does.
He has a son.
He's sad and he's lonely.
And I never ever offer him a kind word.
Miep, this isn't your fault.
I know it's not my fault. It's the Nazis' fault.
But I can't shout at them, can I?
Oh, dear.
Feel better? Hmm, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it felt really good, actually.
I'm, I'm really sorry, Mr. Kugler.
Right. Well, okay then.
I can repair the front door.
Kleiman will be here soon.
The two of us will spend the night in case the thieves return.
No sense in all of us being here.
You two can go.
Was this because I shouted at you?
Already forgotten.
Are you sure it's okay if we go?
Absolutely. Now go.
Enjoy your day off.
I will protect our friends.
Yes.
Oh. We have a day now.
I don't remember what we used to do on a Sunday.
Do you?
That's because we used to do absolutely nothing.
Well then, let's do that.
You said you had some shopping to do.
I've agreed to meet my brother.
You saw him last week.
Yes. I know.
He's, he's got some difficulties at work.
Well, he makes cheese.
How difficult can that be?
Might be surprised. Well, I'll come with you.
I'm quite good at helping people through
their difficulties, aren't I?
You hate my brother. I don't hate him.
You do, you call him the Chairman of Cheese.
Well, because all he talks is about is cheese.
I mean, the history of cheese.
The texture of cheese.
The perfect temperature at which to store cheese.
I'm not a saint, Jan.
Go home. I'll be quick.
Well, I'll be waiting.
In bed.
Oh, I'll be very quick.
Bye-bye.
You know, friends.
I think it's safe to say that this year many of us are
not experiencing the joy that the Advent season
typically provides.
And with air raid wardens enforcing black-out rules,
compelling us to snuff out the light even in our own homes.
One does not have to reach far for the metaphor.
These are dangerous times to be bearers of light.
Miep!
Oh, my God. What's wrong?
Jan said he was going to see his brother,
but he went in the wrong direction.
So I followed him and...
That bastard. Is he cheating?
No. No. It's worse than that.
He's going to church.
It's not funny.
Oh, come on.
Your husband pops into church and you're acting like
it's the end of the world.
It's hilarious.
He's not religious. I think he is now.
I'm not religious. My family is not religious.
They're a bunch of Socialists,
which is a religion if you ask me.
It's a cult.
It's a cult that I love and I thought Jan did as well.
I thought I heard your voice.
How are you, my love?
Oh, well, she's terrible.
Looks like her husband is having an affair with Jesus.
Don't listen to her.
No, I'm fine.
It's just my husband has been sneaking off to church.
And it's made me feel weird.
You got yourself a churchy one?
That can be a good thing.
I wouldn't know of course, I always pick cheaters.
Tess' father, don't get me started.
No, we won't.
Come on, you.
Oh, but he did give me this little angel, didn't he?
Oh, I know what you were like.
All right.
Well, I'll give you some privacy.
Don't be a stranger, Miep.
I won't. Lovely to see you.
Bye.
How's she doing? Uh, well, she's the same.
Yeah.
The radiotherapy is not working.
But Daniel says he's heard of some German doctor
who's using chemicals so, and we're looking into that.
I'm sorry I haven't been around much.
Who can blame you?
My mom is dying. It's pretty depressing.
You know, some days, I don't even wanna be here.
Does that make me terrible?
No. I think it does.
Maybe I should go to church with Jan.
Why didn't he tell me?
He lied.
Because you're judgy. No, I'm not.
Yes, you are. I feel judged sometimes.
By me? Yes.
Miep, you've got a job, you've got money.
Not much.
Yeah, but you're self-reliant.
I mean, I don't have a job right now.
I'm not judging you.
Fine. Maybe I'm judging me.
You have a lot. I have a boyfriend.
You're going to study fashion in Paris.
Do you really think that will happen?
Yeah, I do. As soon as the war's over.
Oh, God, the war.
I hate the war.
Oh, I just had a really good idea.
What?
Well, we need a break from the war and
from cancer and lying husbands.
Let's have an ice skating party.
Ice skating? Yeah.
Like the one we have when we were at school.
Do you remember? It was fantastic!
The canals aren't frozen over.
Oh, we'll have it at Daniel's parents' house.
And I'll get the gardeners to hose down the,
the courtyard and we'll make it into an ice rink.
Hmm, I'll get the gardeners to hose down the courtyard.
Oh, come on. And we'll make...
Miss judgy. There she is. Told you.
Sorry. Sorry.
Our group is grateful for all your help.
Well, to be honest, I'm not sure
I am helping.
She's been so distraught lately.
Crying and talking about wanting to die.
If people hear her, the wrong kind of people,
we could all be held responsible for hiding Jews.
My whole congregation would be at risk.
That's why I'm here.
Hopefully, this will calm her down.
I tell myself, I'm trying to keep her alive.
At what cost?
It's all right. He's a friend.
Hello. My name is Jan.
I've got a photograph of your son.
I got there late and it was getting dark.
But I did the best I could.
Oh! Look. There he is.
The face. That smile.
That's our boy.
He's, he's not that tall.
He's grown. It's been eight months?
That's him.
That's not him.
I took that photo myself two days ago.
Believe me, this is your son.
Where is he? I can't tell you.
For his protection.
I'm his mother and I can't know where he is?
I am his mother!
Maya, be, be calm. Calm?
I let you talk me into giving him up.
And now I just want to see him and I can't.
I don't see my little boy.
I see a stranger.
Maya. Maya! I want to see my boy!
Maya! Let me see by baby! Maya!
Be quiet! Please!
Maya! Quiet! Quiet.
Shh, shh. I know.
I miss my baby. Listen, I know.
I know, okay? I know.
I thought this would work. So did I.
Hello. Smells good. I'm, I'm making cod.
Hmm. Mrs. Stoppelman?
She went out. I'm going to have a bath.
Mm-hmm. I won't be long.
Do you find me judgmental?
Uh, I don't know. Should I?
Tess does. Tess? Does she?
Mm-hmm.
You know, I, um, went to her house today,
while you were at church.
I followed you.
And you didn't go to your brother's house.
You followed me?
I thought you were having an affair.
You thought I was having an affair?
Now, you're just repeating everything I'm saying.
I'm not having an affair.
But rather than spending the day with me,
you went to church.
Miep. And lied about it.
What, what else are you lying about?
And is it because you think I'll judge you?
No. No, no.
You know, I'm sorry, okay?
I, I, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have lied.
Why did you go to church?
I'm trying to feel like my life is meaningful.
Am I not meaningful?
Is our marriage not meaningful?
Of course it is.
You know, I keep thinking about your first marriage and
how you changed and grew apart.
Miep. No.
It's completely different.
We're good, we're great.
I just went to church.
Sorry I lied.
I wish we could just get rid of the door.
What do you mean?
Just wall them in or something?
No, no.
Like cover it up with a fake wall or something?
And how do you propose we do that?
Miep? Someone's here for you.
She wouldn't say what it was about.
Lotte!
Everybody, this is, um,
this is my friend, Carlotta, Lotte.
Uh, she's engaged to my dentist.
You've heard me mention Doctor Pfeffer.
Oh. Hello. Nice to meet you, Lotte.
Hello. Hello.
Miep, I'm sorry to drop by, but I have something for you.
Happy Sinterklaas.
Oh! Oh, uh, wow!
Thank you so much.
You shouldn't have.
Could I speak to you privately?
Of course, let's take this into the kitchen.
Follow me.
I'm sorry for surprising you like this,
but the basket is for Fritz.
I thought so. It's for Hanukkah.
Just in case you were going to visit him in the country
any time soon.
Are you?
I am, actually. Oh.
I don't suppose you could take me with you?
I'm joking, of course.
It's just going to be a very lonely holiday.
I just need to check on something, Lotte.
I'll, I'll be right back.
Oh, oh, no.
I'm disturbing in the middle of your work day, I'll go.
No, no, no. Don't be silly.
Sit down. Stay there.
Dr. Pfeffer, I have a surprise for you.
Just wait there.
MIEP [muffled]: Sorry about that, Lotte.
So, show me what you bought him.
Well, it's all very sentimental.
This is the marmalade he likes.
Macaroons and chocolate babka.
I made it.
We had smoked herring on our first date.
And we were walking by a street vendor,
and Fritz turned, said, "I hope you like herring,
because if you do, you're the woman of my dreams."
You're the woman of my dreams.
And, um, is there anything you'd like me to say
to him when I see him?
Um, that I love him.
And, uh, tell him that I'm being very strong,
just like he told me to be.
And just urge him to stay strong.
We'll be together again soon.
You don't know what a gift you have given me.
She's lovely. Yes. Yes, she is.
I want some chocolate babka.
Anne.
So do I.
Kalverstraat. Pay up.
Well, I guess if I'm gonna be a writer,
I should be used to being poor.
Well, maybe you'll be a big success.
Oh, full house!
If you're looking for the basket,
it's at the end of his bed.
There it is. He's taunting us with it.
Rude.
Be nice. Well, tell him to be nice!
We have nothing for Hanukkah!
We have each other.
Do you do that just to annoy me?
Do what? "We have each other."
Yes, we do, but it would be nice to have a macaroon.
Oh, hello everyone.
It's at the end of the bed.
What? Still?
At least Miep's plan is working.
Pfeffer's not talking about leaving anymore.
Ba-bap! "It's Doctor Pfeffer, if you please."
Peter. I'm sorry.
I really wanted to make Hanukkah special.
I know. We can have a special guest.
Miep, you can come!
Oh, yeah! Yes!
Yeah, please.
Come to Hanukkah tomorrow!
Margot can sing. Please, please, please!
That sounds like the best invitation ever, but I can't.
I have to go to this party thing tomorrow night.
Mm, party? What kind of party?
Yeah, what kind of party? Oh, it, it's nothing.
Just my friend Tess and I throwing this little skating party.
Oh, we miss skating. And parties.
And friends.
So, I invited everyone and they all said they're coming, so.
Excellent! Excellent!
Yes! And Kat?
Kat? Kat doesn't come to parties anymore.
Kat's a brood mare.
Popping out children at the speed of light.
Uh, Sofia? Uh, no.
Sofia and I had a bit of a falling out.
What? Over what?
I called Kat, "A brood mare."
Tess, they're sisters!
Yeah, I know! I just forgot!
Look, can you stop worrying about the guest list, please?
I need to tell you about decorations and catering.
Catering? Yes, catering.
Stop with the little asides as well.
The presents, ah, here.
Now, I've got you something.
No, we said we weren't gonna do gifts because of the war.
I know, but I changed my mind.
Look, I'm gonna say something and you're not allowed to laugh, okay?
Because if, if you laugh, then I'll get embarrassed,
then I'll laugh, and then I'll sneeze,
then I'll start to cry.
And you make a really ugly face when you cry.
Stop! Okay.
When I first met you, you were this scrawny thing
fresh off the train from Vienna.
And I was this girl with no father and no friends.
But together, we managed to make the world less lonely.
And when you popped by the other day,
I realized how much I've missed you.
And my best friend, who's no longer scrawny and weird.
You've transformed into something incredible.
You're like a beautiful butterfly.
So, open it.
Wow. Butterflies? Sapphires.
And the chain's real gold.
Look, you deserve it,
so don't give me any of your normal nonsense, okay?
Beautiful. Here, let me.
Come on.
How did you afford this?
Well, I have a rich and very generous boyfriend.
It's so pretty, I might sleep in it.
I should wear it as much as I can before I have to sell it.
I, I do have to sell it, right?
It's, oh, it's the prettiest thing I've ever owned.
It's not like I bought it.
It was a gift.
Meanwhile, Anne Frank can't
afford one piece of Hanukkah candy.
No, I'm selling it!
I'll just wear it to the party so Tess can see me in it,
and then I'll sell it.
That's fair, right?
What party? What?
Tess' party, our party, tomorrow.
Oh, God. I don't wanna go to a party.
What? It'll be fun. Will it?
When half the country is in hiding, starving, dying.
I don't think anyone should be going to any parties.
Do you feel guilty being out when our friends are hidden inside?
Don't you?
Is that why you're going to church?
To deal with your guilt?
Yeah. Maybe.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm a genius.
I fixed the Pfeffer problem.
Lotte came around, I took her into the kitchen so that
he could hear her voice.
Her voice? Through the vent.
And hearing it just calmed him.
That could work. It did work.
I mean, he thanked me about ten times and stopped scowling.
That's, yeah, that's perfect.
You are a genius.
All right. We need to be very, very quiet.
For his safety.
Yes. Maya?
Okay. Come on.
She said she can't stay long, she's,
she's going to bring a ball.
He likes to play catch.
He looks good.
He looks, he looks healthy.
He's crying. He doesn't like her.
No, he's just cold.
He's just cold.
Nathan. Nathan! Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
Nathan!
Maya, stop!
No! Nathan! I need my son!
No! No!
Nathan! Nathan!
Bep, what is it? It's a surprise!
Oh, my goodness. Isn't it incredible?
Now watch this.
Wow!
Welcome to the safest place in Amsterdam!
Miep! You're back.
Have you brought us a Hanukkah miracle?
Well, it's a miracle considering the circumstances
that I got you some turnips and a pound of cheese.
Otto would say we should be grateful for what we have,
so I will appeal to my better nature.
Come, lazy little lady, help me make dinner.
Miep has to get ready for her party.
Oh, I'm already ready. You're not going in that?
Yeah? Absolutely not.
Well, yeah.
You, you, you look elegant in this.
Yeah. You'll stand out.
And no coat. What?
No, it's, it's gonna be outside, it's really cold.
It's a skating party.
I don't care.
You aren't gonna cover that gorgeous dress of Edith's
with a heavy wool coat.
Can you imagine?
Well, unless, um, she wears, um, a short cape.
I don't know how you can even ask that.
Well, it, it would go perfectly with the dress.
You're not taking that cape.
My grandmother gave it to me.
I mean, she's wearing the dress I wore to the opera ball.
The fabric's from Paris.
What? This is way too nice, I'm not wearing this.
Oh, you're wearing it.
No, no, no. Mrs. Frank, I really.
You can't argue with her when she has that face.
You won't win.
Yeah. You're wearing that dress to the party.
So gorgeous.
All right. All right!
Oh. Anne, darling.
Go in the trunk under my bed and get the cape.
Okay.
It's hideous. Take it off.
Oh. See? It doesn't work.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Disaster.
What, this is my best friend.
She knows every stitch of clothing I own.
What I am gonna tell her?
Well, you'll have to lie.
Just, just say it's cheap stuff, but it looks pricy.
Well, I'm so bored of lying to her.
I hate it.
I'll lie to her.
Every time I imagine beyond these rooms,
our normal lives, and that's every day,
when I picture seeing people in public,
hugging my girlfriends,
eating a meal in a restaurant,
mailing a letter, I am wearing that cape.
When life is normal, I am wearing that cape.
Wear that cape for me tonight, Miep.
Take the girl out into the world.
Thank you.
There you are.
So this is the place?
Now I know what she sees in this guy.
I thought you weren't coming?
I didn't know that was an option.
Oh. You know what?
It is. Just go home.
I'm sorry. Oh, I'm serious!
I know you want this to be fun.
Just go, no, I need this to be fun!
I need to remember what Tess and I were like before life was just
one long list of things to worry about.
I need to remember what you and I were like because
I have no idea anymore.
I just wanna go in there for one night and
just forget all that is going on.
I know that's selfish, I know it is.
But I just need to remember that things were good so
I can believe that they'll be good when this is all over.
And you can't, and that's fine, honestly,
I don't care, I don't mind.
Just, just go home so I can have fun.
No. You look beautiful.
I know. Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Wow. Miep! Hi!
Hi! Oh, my gosh, hi!
It's so good to see you guys!
Tess, this party is. Isn't it just?
Look at you! You look adorable!
Is this, is this swan feather?
It's gorgeous, isn't it? And it was, it was my mom's.
Here. And this.
Come on. I'm so excited.
Wow. I mean, this is insane!
Isn't it? Did you ever imagine it would be like this?
I mean, it's absolutely incredible.
Isn't it? Isn't it amazing?
Where, where is the skating, though?
Oh, it's all set up outside.
I mean, the girls aren't that into it, but I'm sure the people...
The girls?
Will go now that you're here.
Yes, the girls! Oh, they can't wait to meet you?
Where are they? There! Let's go.
Oh. Elke, Halle.
This is Miep.
Hello. Hi!
My best friend since forever and kind of
the inspiration for this party.
Oh, I don't know about that, but it is our thing.
We started it when we were in school.
I love your necklace. Are those butterflies?
Where did you get it?
Oh, actually, it was a gift from this one, here.
Tess, I hate you, your taste is so perfect.
Oh, stop. Tess says you make jam.
Oh, um, I sell it.
And it's not jam, it's pectin,
which is what you use to thicken jam.
I love jam. Really? That's great.
That's, yes.
And, Tess, where, where is everyone?
Where are all the old.
Yeah. I told you, Kat was a no.
Yeah, but Helen, Leni, oh I don't...
You still speak to Helen and Leni?
Two champagnes, please.
Seriously? Oh, really?
And a, uh, large scotch. Thank you.
You know, um, it, it's actually not that complicated
to reconfigure a plant.
Um, we like to think that, uh, these personnel trucks
they're kind of just delivery trucks.
But, um, these, uh, these tank contracts they're talking about.
Gies! You made it!
Nice to see you make an effort.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, sorry, uh, this is, uh, Peter.
Pleased to meet you.
Uh, you should come meet everyone.
Yes. Uh, I'll be right over, yeah.
All right.
Yes. I can introduce you to him.
He's a decent first as well, doesn't she?
Jan! Hey.
Come skate with me! It's so nice!
Miep, we're leaving. What? What happened?
Your friends are Nazis, that's what happened.
Jesus, Jan.
Miep, Daniel is NSB, and all his friends are, too.
Why would you say that? He's wearing the damn pin.
Come on, you can see for yourself.
What? Come on.
Let's get these off.
Well, I am. He's not with anyone.
I'll grab the coats.
Tess. Oh, hey, have you met?
Is Daniel in the NSB? What?
He's wearing an NSB pin.
Uh, Miep, um, sorry.
Excuse us just for a second.
What are you doing?
Is he in the NSB? Just tell me.
Look, he wears the pin okay,
but it's, it's for show.
It's for business, okay.
Everyone us doing business with.
Tess, no.
Not now, Miep, please don't do this.
Is everything okay?
Tess tells me you're doing business with the Nazis now.
My father has an auto parts business, so yeah.
We have some contracts.
What, with the people who are tearing apart our country?
Relocating Jewish people, killing them.
For God's sake, Miep.
Gies, how much has your girl had to drink?
Not nearly enough. No, it doesn't surprise me.
Miep, stop, stop.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Miep, stop. And you.
Miep! Miep, stop, stop. Go outside.
I am so sorry about that.
You know what she's like, get a few drinks in her,
she'll jump on her high horse, trample over everyone.
Thank you for fantastic evening really.
It's been wonderful and I'm sorry again.
You get a drink on your way out.
Thank you. Try and have some fun.
Miep. What the hell was that?
You don't talk to me like that, you don't apologize for me.
Listen, listen to me. Listen to me.
They're Nazis, we're surrounded in there.
I think we're the only people here who aren't.
You're gonna get yourself arrested.
And that's not gonna be good for us,
and it's not gonna be good for our friends.
We have to choose when we fight them.
We don't let them choose for us.
Okay?
Let's get out of here.
What's this?
Magic.
You came.
In lighting this candle,
we are connecting to thousands of years of
bravery and survival.
Just as our ancestors,
the Maccabees rebelled against the Greeks.
We are rebelling in our own way right now in this annex,
because despite the attempts to get rid of us Mr. Hitler,
his army of Godless officers, even the intruders who shattered
our feelings of security the other night, we're here,
living and celebrating that life right under their noses.
With friends who risk their lives every day to protect us.
So on this first night of Hanukkah,
and for all the other nights that will follow,
we celebrate the courage and resilience
of our ancestors and of ours.

As you all know I'm a not a religious man.
I've heard this story many times before
but normally I don't listen.
Normally I'm too busy thinking about the food I'm going to eat
once the story is over.
But today I listened.
And it gave me great comfort, so thank you, Hermann,
for reminding us that, uh,
all these stories from the past are showing us
how to look forward.
To give us some hope, and I'm very grateful to all of you
for being part of my story.
And for giving me something to hope for.
Normally, this is when we would have treats, but.
Well, firstly, Mrs. Van Pels, thank you.
There was so much food at the party.
So there they go.
Oh, my God, you brought cake.
And cookies. Jellyroll.
That's not all. Champagne!
How was the party? Was it good?
Oh, no. Uh, it was terrible.
Excuse me.
Anne has made it very clear to me with longing looks and
heavy sighs, and some not so subtle comments that
I've been selfish in not sharing my basket.
Forgive me, my friends.
I needed a little time.
I would be honored if you would share this gift with me.
We would be very, very honored to eat it.
Where did you get this necklace?
Oh.
This, uh, this is just something I was going to pawn.
It was a gift from a friend.
Who? Who gave this to you?
My best friend Tess, why?
What's going on?
Is she Jewish?
No. No. She's not. What, why?
Can I see it, please? Yeah.
Mr. Frank, why? You're scaring me.
My mother's friend had one during the inquisition when Jews
had to convert to Christianity or be killed.
Women wore them as a kind of secret.
When it's open, it's a string of butterflies,
but when close it.
I'm sorry, Miep, but this was not your friends to give.
Oh, um, she, she definitely wouldn't know.
It was likely stolen.
How well do you know this friend?
Miep, stop. No. No.
I don't, I don't want it.
I don't want to have it.
I don't want to touch it.
Mr. Frank must think I'm a monster.
He doesn't think you're a monster.
Do you think Tess knows?
Do you think she knows where Daniel got it?
Of course she does. God.
I don't know anyone anymore.
Oh. I don't even know you.
Yes, you do. No!
And you go to church.
And you talk to God or a priest.
I want you to talk to me. I wanna be enough.
I'm not going to church.
I'm doing what you're doing.
What are you talking about?
You said yes to Mr. Frank.
I said yes, too.
What?
Wait, you're hiding people.
I'm doing things.
Okay, I'm, I'm helping.
I can't tell you more than that.
Jan, no, we said no more.
No, no, were you not paying any attention in there?
Those people have lost everything,
and still they resist.
And I have to resist, too.
I have to.
Wait, wait. No, no, no.
Please, I got, I got some really important to say.
Oh, really? What's that?
I think you should stay.
No. Oh, please, no, no.
No, please, no. Please, no.
Tess, the necklace you gave me.
Where did you get it from?
What? Why? Just answer me.
You're being weird and dramatic and I'm tired.
Answer me.
Someone Daniel knows was selling jewelry.
It was stolen from a Jew. What?
The Nazis are stealing from Jews.
Oh, my God, Miep.
It's so late.
They're killing people.
Daniel isn't killing people.
He's not a good person, Tess.
He's not, he's doing business with them.
He's not bothered by what they're doing.
How would you know?
You haven't even bothered to get to know him.
This is what we have to do to get by now, Miep.
We have to do business with the Nazis.
What are we supposed to do?
What?
What are we supposed to do?
Anything, Tess.
These people are evil.
Come on, look at me.
You're a good person.
My mother is dying, Miep.
And when she's gone, I'll be all alone.
Daniel is all I've got.
You're wrong. You have me.
Do I?
Because you're not around anymore.
Tess, leave him. Leave him, please, please.
I'm just one person, Miep.
My leaving Daniel isn't gonna stop the war.
It's not gonna change anything.
It will change you.
It will remind you what is right.
And what are you doing to help besides judging me?
You know what? I just want you to go.
Please, just leave.
Tess, please. Please, Miep, just go.
You know, one day this war is going to end,
then you're gonna have to live with yourself.
You think you could help?
Keep it safe, somehow?
I can get it to those who can.
There are people holding onto things like this,
for the ones who come back.
Are you all right?
What are we doing exactly?
We're hiding people and then what?
We have to tell them to buck up, it'll be okay just wait it out.
We do more than that. We're not doing enough.
We have to hide, too.
We have to hide our allegiances.
We have to hide our hatred.
I can't hide much longer, I'm going to explode.
In my experience, when you feel like that,
there's only one thing you can do.
More.
Rifles, pistols, grenades.
What are we gonna do?
We're gonna start a fire.
