I'm looking for someone named Willem Arondeus.
He might be able to help me.
Who are you? What good are you to me?
If I help you, how are 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.
And we don't lie to each other, remember?
Why did you go to church?
What else are you lying about?
I'm doing what you are 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 gonna start a fire.
♪ When you're smilin', when you're smilin' ♪
♪ The whole world smiles with you ♪
♪ When you're laughin', when you're laughin' ♪
♪ The sun comes shining through ♪
♪ But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain ♪
♪ So, stop your sighin'
♪ Be happy again ♪
It was a perfect day.
You looked so beautiful.
I mean, you got so excited,
you forgot to say, "I do."
Oh, sorry. Um, I do, I do. Do you?
I do.
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?
We got married in a government building.
Yeah.
I mean, you looked so beautiful and Jan looked so handsome.
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?
Miep. Yeah?
Okay. Can you keep a secret?
Uh, Anne, look where we are.
Okay, um, so. So?
Yesterday, uh, during the air raid.
Mm-hmm.
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.
What? You, you have a crush on Peter?
No, I mean, no, no, no, no, no.
We just talked.
Mm-hmm.
He teaches me some things about myself and,
I mean, I do the same to him.
Well, he's just very nice.
You have a crush on Peter. Stop it.
This thing between Anne and Peter won't do.
It's harmless, isn't it?
I mean, when I was that age it was.
Yes.
But you didn't live in a tiny warren of rooms with
seven other people, including that boy's parents.
Mm-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.
No, no, I'm not sure I can.
I need you to, to discourage Anne from
continuing with the van Pels boy.
Mrs. Frank, it's... Please, Miep.
You've been keeping us wonderfully safe
throughout all this.
This situation doesn't feel safe.
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
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.
I knew the place a bit.
We're blowing up the building I got married in.
It's very romantic, Jan.
Thank you for that.
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.
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 and you may be killed.
I'm saying that there is no shame if any of you
want to back out now.
Okay.
We'll come and have a look then.
Right.
So what we see is the courtyard here.
There's pictures of everything.
Thank you, thank you for your help.
You're welcome. We're just getting started.
No, no.
You're, you're too valuable for this one, okay?
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.
So, let's see the first floor,
Willem did you have...
Hey Cas, morning.
I saw Cas today.
Oh, yeah? How's he doing?
I don't know.
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.
A bit like you really.
What's that supposed to mean?
Hmm.
Well, since you've started working with the resistance,
you leave in the morning, come home.
I don't know anything you've done in the day.
Yeah?
I'm 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.
The lady who's agreed to hide you is getting a little antsy.
Mm-hmm. Well, I might not sleep at all.
This is all so sudden.
Are you sure this is necessary?
I know it's nerve-racking, but it,
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, yes.
Well, um, see you in the morning.
Night, night. Um, night.
What were we talking about?
Oh, yeah, that we never talk about anything anymore.
After the war's over, I'll tell you everything, I promise.
I saw this great pair of shoes today.
Remember those ones that I used to have?
The red ones with a little strap?
Mm-mm. What?
How can you not remember them?
I wore them on our first date.
Mm-hmm. Oh. Get this as well.
Anne has a crush on Peter,
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.
I can't believe you don't remember those shoes.
Hello. You found us.
Yeah. Thank you.
You'll stay in my daughter's old room.
It's a small bed, but a down duvet.
It will be lovely, I'm sure.
Thank you so much for this.
It's so stressful in Amsterdam,
the razzias seem to getting closer and closer.
We all have to do what we can.
It works out rather well this time.
Okay. This is going well. Mm-hmm.
Maybe we can get the early train back.
Why are you so antsy to leave?
I thought we could have a walk by the pond.
It's so pretty here.
Uh, no, I have to get back.
For what? Can you just tell me?
This is what I was talking about.
Do you want me to make something up?
No, just trust me.
And what is it? Stealing IDs?
Delivering money?
Are you hiding another family?
I don't wanna wait until after the war.
I want my husband back.
I'm right here.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Mm-hmm. Hmm.
Is it bad that I'm really excited that Mrs. Stoppelman is
moving to the country, 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.
Hey, you're here.
I'm Kuno.
Oh. Hi, Kuno. Jan.
Ah, yes. Miep.
Miep. Yeah.
Oh, thank you so much for, for doing this.
Oh, no, not at all.
Thank you. Thank, thank your mother.
No, it worked out really well.
Yeah. Uh. But what.
It does. Does exactly?
I have a girlfriend in Amsterdam,
so that'll be great.
So when are we leaving?
Uh, Kuno, uh, sweetheart,
I haven't talked to them yet about this part.
Kuno's at University here, and he's got himself into
a little bit of trouble with a local Nazi party.
Well, I wouldn't sign their loyalty pledge.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
Kuno, shh, shh.
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.
I don't know if Peter even cares about me.
He's spending so much time with Margot.
Well, to be fair, his options are limited.
I mean, she's always going up there.
Maybe, maybe that's just how it's meant to be,
you know, maybe Margot is more his type.
Well, Margot?
For goodness sake, Anne,
I'm only helping him with his maths.
Stop listening in.
Well, I, I can't help it, you're so loud.
Besides, I, I don't think of Peter in that way.
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 would give me a sign.
How did you know Jan loved you?
Better yet, how did he propose?
Yeah, how did he propose? Tell us everything.
Okay. Well, firstly, there was a lot of shit.
Miep. Oh, my God.
Okay, let me go back.
And 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.
I have a good job, I have a good man.
You know, this is my home and I don't wanna leave.
Well, you can't. I need you here.
Besides Anne would never forgive me if I let you go.
Marry him.
What?
You said yourself you have a good man.
Marry the Dutchman.
Jan at the time was working about
an hour south of Amsterdam for a week.
He was helping his friend on their farm with the harvest by
shoveling manure to fertilize the fields.
Have you finalized your divorce?
Because we need to get married like,
like yesterday or I'm gonna be kicked out of the country.
So if you, if you love me,
let's do this, and fast.
Oh no, wait.
Ah, did I get this all wrong?
No, no, no, no, it's...
Wait, do you not want this?
No. Wait. You...
No, it's not, it's not that.
You have a funny way of showing it.
No, it's just...
"Someday we'll go to Paris, Miep."
But you talking about having kids, what?
No, I... Kids?
Have you been stringing me along this whole time?
Was this all some big con?
Because 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 gonna tell you once I bought the ring
I've been saving for.
Oh.
And then I was gonna ask your father.
Why?
Then I was gonna 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 shit field.
And if you think you can do better than me,
then maybe you should.
No, no, wait, wait. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Wait, wait.
I, I do want you to propose me.
Propose to me.
No. What?
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. So, so.
What are you doing? Jan.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Oh God.
Firstly, I can do much better than you.
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.
No, no, don't do this.
Come on. No.
You proposed to him?
Oh, you and Jan proved that two people can fall in love.
I mean, even in the most unacceptable circumstance.
It's, well, it wasn't quite as romantic as that.
Yes, it is.
I mean, it seems inspiring and amazing and perfect.
Seriously.
Oh, oh, God. Uh.
Oh, my God. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry.
Oh, uh, uh...
Hey, Jan!
Hey Kuno.
I thought I was in the wrong apartment!
I'm so sorry. I wanted to die.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I did tell Kuno that since he can't go out,
he can bring Hendrika over here.
Okay. Well, next time I'll knock.
In your own apartment? Why?
Well, I wonder why? What do you think?
Uh, this was delicious. Really.
Yes, thank you.
Where are you going?
Uh, I have got some work, things to be getting on with.
What kind of work do you do?
Yeah, Jan.
Yeah, tell us on what kind of work do you do?
Not much to tell.
No. No, he doesn't tell me anything.
All I know that it's very dangerous.
Every time he leaves the house,
I'm worried I'll never see him again.
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 put two and two together.
I think, I think he works, um, for the circus, you know,
tightrope walker or maybe a clown.
No.
I thought you were a social worker.
I am a social worker. Don't listen to this lady.
It's all very boring stuff believe you me.
Very boring. See you later.
Professor.
Mr. Broers.
Hello, Jan.
You look well, you staying safe?
You still want to argue with me that Nietzsche had it wrong?
Quiet. What is this?
Jan.
These men saw fit to drop their trash
in the streets, like pigs.
I dropped a candy wrapper.
I picked it up.
Keep on working. I have no more spit.
Use this, Jew.
Hey, hey, hey. Jan, Jan!
Keep walking, son. It's okay.
Keep cleaning.
I need to be a part of the operation.
The Records Office.
No, I've already told you.
No, no, no, no, no.
I understand I'm valuable in my position.
Okay. I get it.
But it's not enough.
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, but it's not you.
"There is a certain right by which we may deprive a man of life."
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 Warmoestraat.
Like clockwork.
If you can't do it, just walk away.
It's fine. It's good, in fact.
What?
Oh! Ohh!
What the hell is going on?
He did it! The son of a bitch killed me!
This was a test?
We had to know for sure, what you could do.
And now we do, and so do you.
He didn't think you could.
Get off of me. You owe me a beer.
Bastards!
To Holland. To Holland.
Shots.
How are you?
I, uh, I'd like to be very drunk.
Well, you've earned it.
Cheers.
Are you listening, I quit. Cas, are you listening?
Yeah.
How are you? Good.
Happy anniversary!
Yay.
Yay!
Thank you. Thank you so much.
You must've used all your butter in this.
Don't you worry about that.
Well, I still think we should've waited for Jan.
We'll save him some cake.
Tell Jan he's missed.
All right. Everyone down. Everybody down.
Peter. Peter.
Cover your heads. Cover your heads.
Come, come, quick, quick, quick.
Pim! It's all right.
It's okay. What did I say, darling?
The air raids are good, because it means the English
are knocking the daylights out of the Nazi.
Are knocking the daylights out of the Nazi, yes.
They're gonna shoot a plane down right into our building.
It's all right. It's all right.
No, Gusti. Well?
What are they doing?
They're knocking the daylights out of the Nazis!
That's right.
Oh my God. I got to go.
It's my anniversary.
Oh, well, to your anniversary then.
And to tomorrow night.
You don't need, you don't need to come tomorrow.
I got someone to replace you anyway.
Martyrdom is sexy, but it's not very smart.
It's, it's fine to look after yourself.
I am looking after myself.
I feel like a coward, if I live the rest of this war just
stealing IDs and ferrying groceries to hidden people,
knowing that you all risked everything.
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.
Oh, sorry. No, it's fine.
It's fine. Is she asleep?
Yeah, finally.
You know, the last time that I found you crying,
I remember that I, I, I told you to marry your Dutchman
and perhaps it...
It's fine. We're fine.
Good. So why are you crying?
I was just thinking about these shoes that
I wanted to buy.
Shoes? I know. I know.
They're really nice shoes and
obviously I can't afford them.
And 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.
Buy the shoes.
I never should've brought it up.
You have to.
I just spent almost an hour there trying to convince Anne
that 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.
Goodnight.
Night.
Hello? Miep.
Cas? We need to talk.
If we still do that.
Oh, God. Is it Mom and Dad?
No, no. They're fine.
It's, uh, 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.
You think Jan...
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 been about?
Why you've stopped coming to see us,
because you and Jan are working for the Resistance?
Yes. All right.
And so this, this thing Jan is gonna do.
Aren't you worried?
What thing?
Well, I don't know what it is.
I thought you would.
No, he doesn't tell me anything.
What, 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 gonna, um, kill somebody or,
or blow something up, something big.
When? Tonight.
Miep, they're, they're, they're acting like nobody's
coming back from this.
They've been drinking and, and, and, and
toasting like they're going off to war.
You have to speak to him.
I found this in your underwear drawer.
Jan, Jan you said it was, you said it was shuffling papers.
Don't worry.
Don't placate me and do not lie to me.
I deserve to know.
Look at me. Is it dangerous?
Could you die? Will you die?
Do you really want to know?
Yes, it's dangerous.
Maybe I'll die.
No, you can't go.
What? Do you love me?
Are you serious? 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. I need you.
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. Don't go.
I'll see you later.
Miep, I am so glad to see you.
Pim says that I can't speak to Peter anymore
because it's too inappropriate.
Actually, your father is just who I come to talk to.
Oh, you can't speak to him now, he's in a mood.
He's got a headache, well it's because of the air raid.
He's been staying up with me because I can't sleep
but listen.
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 a 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 a man would see the stamped page
on my passport and have me arrested there and then.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Thank God Jan coughed to distract him.
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.
I understand. I will.
Good.
Miep.
Anne, go upstairs.
I need to talk to you.
I asked you to discourage Anne from getting involved
with the 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, yeah, well these are trying times for any marriage.
And the war makes things even more complicated.
No.
No, he's, he's going to do something really dangerous,
you know, for, for the war effort.
And I, I asked him not to go and he said he'd be back,
but he knows he might not and he just left.
Yeah. 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'd 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.
No, I didn't believe him, I knew him.
I know his heart and he knows mine.
And even when I hated him, I never stopped loving him.
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?
Mm-hmm.
You know, Anne, she doesn't know about all that.
And she, she's brilliant, yeah,
she's impertinent, but she's only 14.
She's only 14.
Mama! Mama! What?
They're back. It was so close.
But there's no air raid signal!
What was that?
It wasn't anti-aircraft!
Jan. I have to go.
That was definitely the Resistance.
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.
Morning. Good morning.
Did you hear?
The records building was bombed and
the Nazis arrested a bunch of Resistance fighters.
I heard. You're late.
We're almost open. Did you sleep in?
No.
I've got something to show you.
But you can't be angry with me.
Jan. Is Jan here?
Look right here. What?
I don't see anything.
Peter kissed me. I mean, right here.
It was a little awkward because I was turning my head,
but oh, he kissed me right there with both of his lips!
I mean, I've had my first kiss!
Can you put the groceries away?
Hey, when's Jan coming home?
We thought we could play bridge or...
I'm not sure.
Is there, is everything okay?
Is there anything we could do for you?
If you have any plates or mugs in your bedroom,
you could bring them in here.
Thanks.
Are you all right? Yeah.
Cas! Hi!
Hi. Do you know anything?
No. Do you? No.
It's been two days. Right.
Well, we should go and find some answers, then.
Come on.
I have to go.
It's Jan. He's...
It's all right. Go, go!
Please, go.
Ah. She's here.
Hi. We're looking for Jan Gies.
I don't know a Jan Gies.
Well, you do because I've seen you with him.
I don't know a Jan Gies.
Jan is my husband.
I just, 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 a Jan Gies.
Let's go. No one's gonna talk in here.
They're all too scared.
All of you've 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.
For reasons I cannot fathom,
the Nazis believe some of our friends are responsible.
Some of our friends are unaccounted for.
Some have been arrested.
Here are the ones that we know are in custody.
Johann Brouwer.
Cornelius Roos.
Cees Hoenig.
Rudi Bloemgarten, sentenced to death.
Carl Groeger, sentenced to death.
Willem Arondeus, sentenced to death.
Willem has made a statement and his lawyer has passed this on.
The statement is this,
"Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards."

To Willem and to Holland.
What's this? I, I don't know.
It was there when I got here.
It's German. What does it say?
Shit field.
Jan! Jan! Oh, my God.
I thought you were gone!
I thought I'd never see you again.
You didn't go.
You didn't go because of me and, well, now you hate me.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Are you coming home?
It's still dangerous for you, for our friends.
I wasn't there, but if people talk,
they could name me.
I won't ask you to stop, I, I won't,
but I need you to tell me.
If you're in danger, I need to be in danger with you.
I'll see you soon.
Is that for me? Yes, yes. Sit down.
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, I think I was wrong about Peter.
I think that he needs me more than I need him.
What? What?
Nothing, nothing.
You're just, you're growing up.
And you, you are not waiting, so.
Oh! That is one of my favorite dresses of yours!
Good!
Because it's one of my favorites, too.
Of yours.
Miep. Wait, really?
You need clothes that fit you.
Wait, this one's mine? Mm-hmm.
Wait, really?
And you need these.
Those are for me? 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.
Oh, those look great. I absolutely love them.
Oh. Miep, where am I gonna wear these?
Everywhere.
You'll wear them to a job interview, and to dinner.
That's for a girl who's just getting started.
You'll wear them dancing, maybe you'll kiss a boy in them,
maybe the wrong boy, but that's okay.
You'll make mistakes, you'll learn from them,
and you'll just continue to grow.
And I can't wait to see it.
