Riphagen

---

- Good evening.

- Mr. de Wit?

Mrs. de Wit?

My name is Andries Riphagen.

I'm from the Devisenschutz.

This is my colleague, Joop Out.

You don't happen to hide Jews

or Jewish property, do you?

Me? Oh no.

Nice house you've got.

You live here by yourself?

Yes.

Just us two.

What do you do for a living?

- - - - - I used to be a carpenter.

- Oh, nice.

So was Jesus.

- - You know who killed him, don't you?

- The Romans.

Listen.

We have nothing against Jews.

We just follow the law.

So if you're hiding anyone,

you'd better say so.

We have nothing to say.

They send them to work in Germany.

What's that to you?

- We hear different stories.

- People parrot each other and exaggerate.

Well, shall we go upstairs together?

We've known her for such a long time.

- Where is your money?

- My husband had our money.

- And where's your husband?

- He is caught already.

Would you mind turning around?

I believe I can help you.

But then you mustn't lie.

I want to congratulate you.

Amsterdam is almost free of Jews.

Has the police anywhere else

done their job as well...

as you here in Amsterdam?

You can be proud.

But of course there are always a few

who slip through the net.

Can you send the last Jews

on transport as well?

From today on a bounty will be paid.

7.50 guilders for every arrested Jew.

A bit late.

They've all gone into hiding.

- Frits.

- Hey, Jan.

Heil Hitler.

You can throw all ID cards away.

They're introducing new ones.

They use a new sort of ink.

Lages...

Lages has set a bounty.

- Jan, if you want to stop...

- Do you have more people on the force?

Well, then.

The Germans also need a new supply.

I can find out when they'll be ready

for transport in The Hague.

This house has been requisitioned

by the Devisenschutz.

It will be put up for sale,

but for now you're safe here.

And how can I thank you?

Just wait till this is all over.

Come.

Men, I've heard Lages will pay you

7.50 per Jew. That's absurd.

I'll raise it by ten guilders

out of my own pocket.

Ten bucks for every tip

you bring to me personally.

And can we keep

the Jews' belongings?

No, Jewish property

gets requisitioned by the Devisenschutz.

- But you already knew that.

- Do you know that as well?

Can you take a photo of us?

Gentlemen, come stand next to me.

A family.

I was going to give them to Lages.

But for 40 guilders extra they're yours.

Do you have a light?

I don't smoke.

Ten guilders is a lot of money.

- We have to help one another.

- Out of your own pocket?

- What do you get out of it?

- Nothing.

Why would you do that?

I try to help them.

Who?

Maybe later.

When I know which side you're on.

Riphagen.

Come with me.

Any successes these last few days?

- Only false leads.

- Only false leads.

No Jews in hiding,

no cash, nothing at all?

Wery, Elizabeth. 'Betje'.

Got arrested at the railway station.

Widow.

Jewish mother, half-Jewish father.

- Willing to talk if we spare her family.

- What do I have to do with it?

I'm not happy with your results.

If we want to stay friends,

you'll have to do better.

The false leads

can wait, can't they?

I expect results.

So tell me, you filthy traitor...

why should I not send you and your family

to Mauthausen?

Point them out. On the map.

What?

Jews in hiding. In Amsterdam.

I'm from Rotterdam.

She doesn't know anything.

- Then put her on transport.

- I know someone. With the resistance.

Who?

Who?

Charly.

Hartog.

He brags about raids and stuff.

- Go to that man.

- And my ID card?

- I'll hold onto it.

- But if I get arrested?

You won't get arrested.

You'll be watched.

Come, they're upstairs.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Pretty smart, hiding in your own house.

- And now?

- I believe I can help you.

But there must be mutual trust.

Coffee?

- You're new.

- I've been working here for years.

I've served you many times before.

Sorry, I couldn't resist it.

I'm covering for my sister.

Oh, the other red one.

I think she doesn't like me much.

She found you in bed with another girl.

And you asked her to join them.

- Not a good first impression, I guess.

- I was curious, actually.

Copy Valuables

don't you worry and brood

that will just spoil your mood

be calm, be more pragmatic

life is not so dramatic

don't you worry and brood

that will do you no good.

It's safe here.

keep calm but be prepared

no point in being scared.

Choose whatever you like.

It's not completely kosher.

Before I forget.

Here I have your receipt.

From the SD, for your diamonds.

- You gave them to the SD?

- Not all of them. Ten, to be exact.

I have to give them something

or they'll notice.

The rest I'll keep till after the war.

Then you'll get them back.

I can write out a receipt for them too...

but if that falls into the wrong hands,

we're both doomed.

Why are you doing this for me?

I...

I lived in Germany before the war.

I was married to a Jewish girl.

I don't want to go into the details,

but I wasn't able to save her.

Look, I have the perfect cover.

The Germans think I work for them...

but in the meantime...

It's just very difficult to know

who you can trust.

Here you go.

- Sorry, pal, but I didn't order this.

- Ari did.

- Ari, why do I get a beer from you?

- Dries, Kemp is bothering me.

Kemp? What does he want?

I have two Jewish friends.

Kemp will betray them if I don't pay him.

I'll be right back. Kemp.

- Get out of here.

- But I didn't do anything.

He's not welcome anymore.

I'm sorry you had to see this.

Well, we have to help

one another, don't we?

We sure do.

- Ari, can you take a photo of us?

- Of course.

I have friends you can trust.

And relatives.

No Jews allowed.

SD.

- You are here for?

- None of your business.

Obersturmfhrer Kessler, SD.

There's a suspicion of fraud.

Where's your safe?

Go on, I don't have all day.

The keys.

Yes. Yes.

Yes, that's correct. Yes.

- ID.

- Excuse me?

Now, come.

- What's going on?

- I can't tell pending the investigation.

I'd like to make a phone call to check.

You're not a suspect yet.

Keep it that way.

Did you leave your post?

Who's guarding the entrance?

We need those papers

for further investigation.

Do I have to carry them by myself?

- So this is Dries.

- How do you do.

He has to give a small part to the SD,

there's no other way...

but the rest is safe with him.

I've known them for 35 years.

You can trust them.

Ari, can you take a photo?

Finally, I said to him:

'And don't leave your post again.'

Almost 10,000.

Well done.

10,000 men and women won't go on transport.

Is that worth the trouble or not?

It's Charly, with the new messenger girl.

- Is there a party here?

- Good work, Charly.

Jan. Fritsie.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- I'm Jan.

- Bella. Bella Tuerlings.

- Hello, Bella Tuerlings.

- Hello, Jan...

- Van Liempd.

- Hello, Jan van Liempd.

- What's there to celebrate?

- That's a secret.

But you'll have a lot of work

as a messenger.

I wanted to keep it small.
