The Blitz: London's Longest Night Page #3

---

Do you know of a good caf?

- Of course.

My treat.

- Get down.

OK, now.

When are you leaving?

- On Tuesday, but...

But what?

- Could I talk to your fianc soon?

What about?

- Hey you, identification.

We're going to the cafe.

- The Germans occupied the bridge!

We're going to stop them.

OK, identification.

Don't have it on me.

- Where are you from?

I know her. She's staying at the Atlanta.

- And my mother is from Rotterdam.

German? Guys, we've got a Kraut.

No, she's getting married in a few days.

- You stay out of it.

Guys, get her.

Let's get out of here.

Let go of her.

Thank you.

You're a nurse?

I'm used to taking care of my brother.

Is he a boxer too?

- No.

Does it hurt?

It's unbearable.

Those who are about to die, salute you.

I have one last wish.

- What?

Smells good.

- What?

My dying breath?

That cigarette.

You don't smoke, ma'am.

There's a first time for everything.

And stop being so formal.

What do you want to ask my fianc?

Well, Chris and I have a problem.

We don't have the money for the boat trip

to London, so I thought...

...maybe we can borrow it

from your fianc.

So it's about money.

Dirk doesn't like to lend money.

But it's for Chris.

There's a surgeon in New York

who can help him.

Without it, he'll die.

When you deliver that cake tomorrow,

I'll put in a good word for you.

Oh my God!

May 12, 1940, Whitsunday

Eva turned out to be braver

than many a Dutch person.

She didn't run away.

The Germans didn't cross

the Maas river...

...so Eva's fianc didn't think

there was a reason to panic.

The day after the wedding,

she'd move straight into his mansion.

Was I just as brave as she was?

No.

But I had to help my brother.

From your father's collection.

Wenge wood from the African jungle.

- Oh, beautiful.

I find old oak from Eastern Russia

the most beautiful.

Who wants communist flooring

in his home?

Come on.

And from America: a refrigerator.

With the latest of the latest:

a freezer compartment.

What is that?

- Lettuce.

Stays fresh for six months.

Incredible, right?

The kitchen.

And I've got something

especially for you, Eva.

A modern gas oven.

It would be nice to replace this wall

with a window overlooking the garden.

Why don't you cut the cake?

Outside on the patio, Willem.

- There's no one to help me.

I'm sorry. All the servants left

for Limburg like dumb sheep.

Rotterdam is much safer.

- I'll help him.

Dad, can I have two pieces of cake?

- As much as you want, sweetie.

Mr Lagerwaard,

can I ask you something?

You can ask me anything,

except for money.

Excuse me. These gentlemen

are looking for Miss von Heerle.

We received a phone call

from the police in Doesburg.
