Your sister is a reaI "bastard"...

Come on. Hurry.

Michiel?

Are you okay?

Help lay the table.

- It's Erica's turn.

You can help though.

How is Jack?

The woods are full of Krauts!

Is he safe?

Where is Jack?

I lost him.

Van Beusekom speaking.

Yes.

Yes. Call me when you know more.

They found a dead soldier.

Where?

- Dagdaler Woods.

A German?

- Yes.

He'd been there for some time.

Shot.

Now they want the culprit.

Michiel.

What d'you know about

that dead German?

Nothing.

You will be careful?

If there's anything I can do...

There's nothing.

The package is on its way.

We'll go to Zwolle when the Germans

leave the woods.

Tomorrow or maybe the day after.

They found a German

in the woods. Dead.

What happened?

Has he asked about me?

What did you talk about?

- Just things.

I'll help you.

Give me the razor.

Try it yourself. Carefully.

Don't cut yourself.

Not too hard.

And hold it at an angle.

We have to do it differently.

Dad.

Look after yourself.

I have to know. He's my husband!

Where's Uncle Ben?

There's no time to cry. Do something!

- They won't say where he is.

Michiel, please.

We can't leave him, do something!

- We don't know where he is.

Vught, Amersfoort.

Prison in Deventer.

He's at the town hall.

Here? In the village?

Stay polite Michiel.

That helps best.

Good morning.

I would like to see my husband.

Van Beusekom.

I'm sorry. I can't let you in.

- I have brought clothes and food.

Thank you. I'll make sure...

- I want to give it to him myself.

Please.

I'm sorry. I really can't let you in.

Stay there.

I have to see my husband.

- Impossible.

He hasn't done anything. He hasn't!

I know he hasn't done anything.

Don't be so difficult! Johan! Johan!

All I ask is to speak to him. Johan!

Aha. The mayor's son again.

I can't remember inviting you.

Get lost!

Well?

Bomb the town hall.

- Dad will like that.

Then we have to attack. Come on!

What else? We have to do something.

We can't just leave him!

I'll see what I can do.

- I'll go with you.

No. Stay with your mother.

Look after her.

Be careful.

Uncle Ben.

I'Il do my best.

I promise.

Uncle Ben.

Mum, where is Erica?

Mum?

Erica!

They're not.

No. Dad will be free.

Uncle Ben will help.

All on his own?

- Who says he is alone?

Let's go home. Mum is alone.

No. That's not necessary.

You'll get shot. You die.

He'll be freed tomorrow.

I did all I could.

Michiel?

Right turn!

Order arms.

Let go of me. I know who did it.

Are you coming?

Michiel?

Is he coming too?

Of course.

Then I won't go.

- Michiel.

It's his fault.

It was the Germans. Not Uncle Ben.

God save the Queen.

Jesus.

That's for Jack.

He has to be moved, Michiel.
