Riphagen Page #6

---

and Mr. Einthoven.

I want to interrogate her.

This is my case.

One suspect interrogating the other?

Excuse me?

A reliable source has told me that Gerrit

van der Veen was betrayed by Betje Wery...

together with Jan van Liempd.

No, she worked together with Riphagen.

- I'm not a traitor.

- Mrs. Wery claims otherwise.

- It's impossible.

- We'll have to see.

- Did they treat you well?

- Yes, thank you.

You were registered with the SD

as informant number 196.

- Is that correct?

- That's correct.

As such you infiltrated

Gerrit van der Veen's group.

I knew Charly Hartog.

- How did you find her?

- He took me along to the Stadhouderskade.

That's my job.

I was fond of them.

They were my friends.

Jan as well.

But on June 30, 1944, four friends of

the group were arrested in your apartment.

- One of them was killed.

- That's correct.

Were you involved in this arrest

as an informant?

Did you pass on information?

To whom?

Did you work together with Andries

Riphagen? Or with Jan van Liempd?

I didn't work together with anyone.

I passed the time and location

on to Lages and that was it.

I received 1000 guilders for it and...

to me that was worth it.

You know that if you acted alone,

you'll be hanged.

Maybe I deserve it.

- Why is she doing this?

- She's protecting you.

- You were involved with her.

- No, she's protecting Dries.

Why would she protect a dead man?

- She's protecting you.

- Betje Wery. How did you know her name?

How did you know

you had to look in Rotterdam?

I told you, it's my job.

- Only Dries knew her real name.

- What are you driving at?

He's still alive.

- You talked to him.

- You don't know what you're saying.

Yes, that goes without saying.

I understand.

Yes, got it. Bye.

And?

Wim is still working on it.

Has Jan been arrested or not?

Wim can't come here for now.

He's afraid he's being followed.

He... He has to avoid this location

for the time being.

- How long?

- A week.

So now it'll take another week. Dries.

He told you everything he knows.

Dries is innocent.

I want to go on with our life.

The war is over.

Frits, does Jan know I'm still alive?

- Can I trust you?

- Yes.

No, can I trust you?

Yes.

I have a safe in Luxembourg.

The people I saved

entrusted their valuables to me.

- Why did you never tell this?

- I didn't know if I could trust you.

It's not just some earrings.

- Greet, what's in those lockers?

- It really concerns a lot of money.

And that's what Jan is after.

It's not about me.

It's about those innocent people's money.

If Jan finds me, those people

won't ever get it back.

It will all have been in vain.

I can't let that happen.

Wim won't be here for a week.

- I can't just let you go.

- Then you go in my place.

Go to Luxembourg.

I'll pay you for it.

I can't... I've never been there.

Greet, will you go to Luxembourg

with Frits?

- Are you going to follow me day and night?

- You know where he is.

You've seen his death certificate.

You shot him yourself.

What will happen

if Einthoven finds out he's still alive...

and you knew all along where he was?

I'll find him.

And then you'll hang.

- Sanders.

- Wim, Dries speaking.

I'm at the Club. I needed a change.

If that's a problem, you know where I am.

Do you have money on you?

- Where's Frits?

- No idea. Maybe off to see a girl.

I was just stretching my legs, okay?

Getting used to life as a free man.

I'll be free soon, won't I?

So Betje didn't mention Jan's name?

And Einthoven?

He doesn't know I'm here, does he?

Put that thing away.

You can't kill me.

- I have to.

- Oh yeah?

Then you'll have to kill my wife too.

And Harry Rond.

And Lame Toon.

And ten others who know I'm here.

What did you think, dirty little Communist?

Shall I tell you something, Wim Sanders?

I played you like a violin.

Betje Wery did exactly what I told her.

I betrayed Gerrit van der Veen's group.

It was me. I was there when

they shot Badrian's brains out.

- You're lying.

- Yes, I've been lying to you for weeks.

But you didn't realize it, did you?

Einthoven is laughing his butt off.

You'll be the laughing stock

of the office.

And to think of all those people

I had you round up and execute.

Go ahead, shoot me.

No, I'm not going to kill you.

You're going to help me.

Will you give Dries the suitcase?

This is also part of it.

Why are you protecting Riphagen?

Have you seen him?

- Frits, your brother has a hearse, right?

- Why?

Call him. Tell him Wim will pick it up.

And I want a coffin inside.

- What's going on?

- I'm crossing the border tonight.

Wim?

Call your brother.

Where is he?

Did he threaten you?

Frits, he's never been here.

If I talk, he'll kill my family after all.

- Tell me where he is.

- He won't stop.

When I find him, I'll make him talk.

He's playing everyone.

I'll get him to confess he forced you.

He has to die.

Otherwise I won't talk.

I promise.

He's at Kerkhoven's.

I'll call you when I'm across the border.

I have two more names for you:

Harry Rond and Lame Toon Kuijper.

Pimping and laundering.

Addresses... on the kitchen table.

- Where is he?

- You're too late.

He's been here for months,

and you helped him.

He betrayed Gerrit.

- Where is he?

- He's crossing the border tonight.

Which border?

I don't know.

All borders must be closed.

- German and Belgian.

- Jesus, what a mess.

If we find Riphagen,

you'll have Sanders and his archive.

- No.

- What?

I'd have to admit

that my own people deceived me.

I can't get Sanders

without incriminating myself.

- And Riphagen?

- He's officially dead.

- If he's smart, he'll stay dead.

- Then Betje Wery will pay for it.

We have a confession.

It's a clear-cut case.

- Betje Wery is guilty.

- Is that justice?

- Then what are we here for?

- The Russians are halfway Germany.

That's what we're here for.

The Dutch-Belgian border.

I...

He said he helped these people.

We're too late.

I have to make sure

Greetje is ready to leave.

But I want her to stay.

- She didn't go with him?

- He'll call when he's across the border.

I have to bring her.

Jan.

Dries has escaped.

With all the goods.

- You want me to betray my husband.

- If he's innocent he has nothing to fear.

- He only helped people.

- Oh yeah? These people?

Yes. He saved their belongings

and will return it when they come back.

Those people won't come back.

They were sent to Poland to be gassed.

That's not Dries' fault.

This is Esther Schaap.

Dries protected her.

As long as she turned all her friends

over to him.

When no one was left,

she had to disappear.

- I don't believe it.

- She killed herself right in front of me.

Here.

Nice necklace you've got.

Hey, sweetheart.

I'm glad to hear your voice.

I'm here. I made it.

Sorry, it suddenly went so fast.

I'm glad you were able to get

everything back from Luxembourg.

- Are you ready to go?

- Dries...

We have no choice.

We'll be back again in a few years.

- Remember that necklace you gave me?
