Riphagen Page #4

---

I don't know...

Calm down, calm down.

Breathe deeply. Easy now.

Please, help me.

Frits. Guys, come, wake up.

Jan, we have to go.

Hands off. It's all categorized.

- What's in those cabinets?

- Information.

About everyone who was on the wrong side,

before and during this war.

Dutch Nazis, collaborators.

- When were you going to tell us?

- So.

Who betrayed us? Jan, we were

at your hiding place. Who knew about it?

No one.

Fact:
two times a resistance group

you're part of gets betrayed.

Ours and Gerrit van der Veen's.

- What do you have to say for yourself?

- How dare you?

Gerrit was my best friend.

I'd have given my life for him.

But you didn't.

Can you prove you're innocent?

Can you prove I'm guilty?

Riphagen betrayed Gerrit.

What are you doing here?

What if someone sees you?

Who did you tell where I was?

- What?

- Who did you tell where I was?

No one. What happened?

- Did you betray me?

- Why would I, Jan?

- You're the only one who knew where I was.

- Stop.

Are you crazy? I'm your wife, Jan.

I love you.

I'm sorry.

What is it?

- Albert.

- Albert?

He came to the door a few times.

He was looking for you.

- Why did you go to Lena?

- I was worried about you.

You, worried?

- Was he alone?

- Yes.

Maybe he followed me.

I know where Riphagen is.

I'm prepared to tell you,

but then you must swear...

you'll never forget I'm helping you.

Jesus, man. You collaborated

with the Germans the entire war.

Alright, then I won't tell you.

Will you please stay with me tonight?

I swear.

Weapons found in Assen

He's in Assen, with the SD.

What if you find him?

- No.

- What?

- My money.

- I'll wait outside.

Dries.

Jan.

- Come with me.

- Where to?

Amsterdam.

You're going to confess to the resistance.

Confess what?

- You know very well.

- Sorry, I have no idea.

- Where's Bella?

- Bella?

Bella Tuerlings. Or whatever her real name is.

- What's this about?

You forced Bella to betray

Gerrit van der Veen.

I didn't do that.

What did that girl tell you?

If you believe that,

why don't you shoot me?

So you come all the way to Assen...

They suspect you, don't they?

You didn't do anything stupid, did you?

You two betrayed Gerrit van der Veen

and you want me to take the blame?

- No.

- I think you do.

I saved your life at the police station.

I helped a damn traitor.

Your own group.

Do you want sugar

or apple syrup on your bread?

You open the door.

My name is Lapian.

Personal secretary of Mr. Einthoven.

Mr. Einthoven would like

a word with your husband.

- What about?

- These are our references.

The Secretary of Her Majesty the Queen.

Gerrit van der Veen spoke highly of you.

Terrible that he's dead.

Someone will have to

take charge after the war.

We'll have to bring war criminals

and collaborators to justice.

And there must be a security service,

against future attacks.

- From the Nazis?

- No, from the Communists.

That's where the danger lies now. They're at

the Elbe already, a couple of hour's drive.

You worked with Sanders, right?

Wim Sanders?

Here.

From Louis Einthoven.

Requesting that for state security...

I turn my archive over to him.

- What about Sanders?

- Wim Sanders has an archive.

About tens of thousands of Dutch people,

but he refuses to share his information.

- It's his information.

- In the wrong hands it's very dangerous.

Do you know how much information I have

about that man? And he wants my archive?

Over my dead body.

- You know Sanders is a Communist, right?

- Sanders?

'The Red', they call him.

A new Netherlands.

Honest, strong, democratic.

And social.

- I don't see Wim anymore.

- So I've heard.

Get in touch with him again.

His archive contains subversive secrets.

It's our duty to keep that information

out of Communist hands.

I want all war criminals to be punished.

If you're prepared to fight the Communists,

we can mean a lot for each other.

Take your time to think about it.

Are you coming?

They say the Canadians will be here today.

The door was open.

Here,

the death certificate of Dries Riphagen.

Come on.

- Let's go celebrate.

- I'll be right there.

He's been killed.

The murderer wasn't caught.

There was a girl.

Bella Tuerlings.

Maybe she left town,

but find out what you can.

Bella Tuerlings?

What about her?

- She'd infiltrated with us.

- No more, Jan.

- She and Riphagen betrayed Gerrit.

- I found Riphagen. Look for her yourself.

Hey.

Hey, gorgeous.

He's beautiful.

- Is he healthy?

- Everything is fine, Dries.

We have to go. Pack your suitcase.

Some clothes and jewelry. Go on.

- Why do you want to go?

- Just do it.

First you tell me why.

- I can't be seen here.

- Why not? You did nothing wrong.

- Will you tell that mob outside?

- Darling...

Toon and Harry talked to a man

in the Marnixstraat and are safe now.

What man?

- Some resistance leader. Sander, I believe.

I can't risk it. They think I'm

dead and it's best if it stays that way.

And where are we supposed to go?

Dries.

- I'll call Verbeek. I have known him for years.

Dries, get a move on.

Hurry up, Dries, goddammit.

Hey, Verbeek, you're still alive.

Bastard.

Filthy traitor. You have betrayed

your country. On your knees.

For the Queen.

Of course, we're family now, aren't we?

I'll set up a camp-bed

and we'll see for Robbie. Alright?

- We won't stay long.

- Oh no? Where will we go?

- Abroad.

- What?

- You said he didn't do anything wrong.

- I didn't.

I worked for the SD to help people. But those

heroes outside don't care. They'll shoot me.

- Why do we have to go abroad?

- Fleeing is confessing guilt.

Talk to that resistance man.

Toon says he just wants information.

They explained everything to him

and were able to go.

Einthoven asked me to talk to you. He offers

you a position at his Security Office.

Don't you see what he's up to?

He wants my archive.

Yes, he wants your archive, I know.

- I'm starting my own office.

- What? By yourself?

Wim, his office will be the official

service. Einthoven has connections.

- Even with the Royal Family.

- The Royal Family.

They were in London during the war.

Use him. Demand that

you'll be Head Investigator.

That you'll work independently

and keep your archive.

What do you get out of it?

He's offered me a job as well.

I know you think I'm a traitor, but

someone can testify to my innocence.

And I'll find her.

And Riphagen?

He got what he deserves.

- That was Jan van Liempd, wasn't it?

- Yes.

- That bastard.

- Why?

He's my murderer.

He came to Assen,

like a thief in the night, to shoot me.

Because I know too much about him.

- He's going to work for Louis Einthoven.

- Then Einthoven swallowed his lies.

I'm prepared to tell the truth, about Jan

and all those SD informants.

But I'll only tell you.

You'll stay at Frits' house.

Nobody will come near you.

- Frits?

- That's me.

Why must my husband stay?

He did nothing wrong.

- We'll see about that.

- Toon and Harry didn't have to stay.
