01x05 - Scheißfeld

[bunniefuu]

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 w*r.

- 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 k*lled.

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 w*r'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 w*r. 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 n*zi 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 sh*t.

- 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? What are you doing?

- Jan

- 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 n*zi 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 prost*tute 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 k*lled 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: To Holland.

- ALL: To Holland.

- (SNOOKER BALLS RATTLING)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- VIGO: sh*ts. (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.

- 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)

- OTTO: Everybody down.

- AUGUSTE: Peter!

- OTTO: Cover your heads. Cover your heads.

- 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 sh**t 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)

(DRINK POURING)

Oh, God.

Gotta go.

(EXHALES) It's my anniversary.

Oh, well, to your anniversary, then.

(FIGHTER JET WHIRRING)

And to tomorrow night.

- (HEAVY expl*si*n)

- (GLASS SHATTERING)

(g*nshots)

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 w*r

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 h*m*?

But What You think Jan is?

(CHUCKLES) No. Uh, it's not

just a bar for h*m*,

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, k*ll 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 w*r.

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.

- (g*n 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.

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 w*r makes things

even more complicated.

No. No, he's he's gone to do

something really dangerous, you know,

f for the w*r 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 expl*si*n)

- 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

(CROWD WHISPER, SOB)

his lawyer has passed this on.

Statement is this

"Let it be known, that

h*m* are not cowards."

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.

- You need clothes that fit you.

- Wait, this one's mine?

- (CHUCKLES)

- Wait, really? (GASPS)

- And you need

these.

- Those are for me?

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

- (EXCLAIMS)

- to a job interview and to dinner.

And that's for a girl

who's just getting started.

- maybe the wrong boy, but that's okay.

- (ANNE CHUCKLING)

- You'll make mistakes

- (ANNE GASPING)

just continue to grow.
