Are the children safe?
- Why wouldn't they be?
The invasion.
- There is no invasion.
Waalhaven Airport is in German hands
and there's heavy fighting on the bridges.
My friends in authority talk about
skirmishes. A misunderstanding.
Nothing to worry about.
Our wedding can go ahead on Tuesday.
Eva?
I ordered the cake.
May 11, 1940
I didn't understand why Eva
was so frightened by that invasion.
Queen Wilhelmina called the invasion
brazen and improper.
But the queen announced that she
and the government were in command.
So I thought that things
would be all right.
I continued my life
as if nothing was wrong.
I tried to banish Eva from my mind.
My brother demanded
all of my attention.
Well, gentlemen, here you go
and here you go.
Two third-class tickets for New York.
Leaving on Tuesday.
There's just one small problem.
You have to depart from London.
- Why?
I'll tell you why:
Your boat isn't coming here.
They're afraid they'll be shot to pieces
by the Krauts.
Don't look at me. It's not my fault.
How will we get to London? Swim?
- Listen...
A fishing vessel captain has his boat
He wouldn't mind taking you to London,
but not for nothing.
How the hell do we come up with that?
Easy, Chris.
- 150 guilders?
This way we'll never get to London.
So how will we get to America?
When are you going to America?
When we have enough cash
to go to London.
The sooner the better.
Sell those boat tickets and buy a gun
to put me out of my misery.
Chris...
...you'll get that surgery.
Uncle Cor, 150 guilders
is just a tip for you.
We'll pay you back in six months.
- Boys, you'll never manage that.
It's no use having dreams
above your station.
I believe in the American Dream.
- Get to work. Be glad I got you this job.
You can't go out alone at night.
- Leave me alone, please.
You can't go out without a chaperone.
- Then come with me, Aunt.
Let's go and have some fun.
I need fresh air.
Good evening.
Eva, there's a war going on outside.
- So what?
Come back immediately.
How about if I accompany the lady?
Then you can get some rest.
You can't go chasing broads now.
We need the money.
I've got an idea.
- Your ideas only cost us money.
Vincent, we have to be on that boat
on Tuesday.
Right, Chris. Tuesday.
Your chaperone, with Aunt Anke's blessing.
With her etiquette all the time.
- 'Eti - ' what?
Rules. What you can and can't do.
Especially can't.
to have a drink?
No.
It might not be such a good idea.
- Why not?
This is the front line.
- Are you afraid?
- I already have a chaperone.
