and walk with the Lord.

You could have told us,

Willem, we would have helped.

The most important thing is to take

our little friend here.

It would be hard to explain

this sudden gift of heaven.

Son, I'll walk

with you a little.

Goodbye, Moses.

We're doing well.

Sometimes we have some potatoes ...

and occasionally even eggs!

So far we have not been bad.

And of course ...

- This is a peasant?

- Grandpa!

Kik, you got anything?

The carbon in the waste basket,

Io if you hold the light,

can see.

Thanks.

See, Papa ...

- We have a contact in the Gestapo ...

- Quiet!

It provides us with deportation lists

whenever he can.

Alright, Kik?

Bye, Grandpa.

- God bless you, Kik.

- Hold tight to the hand ... good!

Pope ...

Now every day ...

they are sending 400 Jews

Central Station in Amsterdam.

Help those who can.

We know someone on the list?

- Sorry.

- No, please ...

sorry ...

for disturbing Ios.

Maybe he ...

Dad ...

There is a gentleman up there.

We met.

- Well, it was too late ...

- He had nowhere to go.

Daddy, he is a teacher.

Willem studied with him.

They closed the university.

All Jewish teachers

were forced ...

Ah, Betsie ...

Good morning again, professor.

I apologize for the intrusion,

Mr. Ten Boom.

Please ...

Thanks.

Professor ...

Give us the honor

praying thanking?

Blessed art thou ...

O Lord our God,

you give us the bread of earth.

Amen

Amen

How lucky that Aunt Bep

had large feet.

Is.

E. .. what is your date of birth?

Birth?

August 19, 1885.

Name of the Father?

Casper Ten Boom.

Mother?

Cornelia Ten Boom.

Her maiden name?

Mlle. Ten Boom ...

If we stopped, I ...

I could never

I pass you by.

Professor Ziener ...

There is no "if" in God's world.

He brought

this house;

and you will see that

depart in safety.

This is where we turn, teacher.

Stay close to me.

I'll try.

Well done, professor!

We're almost there.

- Katrien!

- Tia Corrie!

- Tia Corrie!

- Katrien!

I need help from his father.

You should have seen the teacher Ziener

entering the boat.

Katrien's father as if he were helping

Queen Willemina entering the yacht!

Cornelia, do you think is

having too much fun with this?

Me having fun?

No, I was terrified.

Except when kept

to laugh at him dressed as Betsie ...

Thank God.

He kept away from the patrols.

Remember to save a piece

cake for a friend of Willem.

Friend?

It's all very mysterious.

Is anyone he wants

we know.

What you said when Willem

Professor Ziener told him?

This is not a joke to

when they want to have fun.

If you get involved

this work

people have to

entrust their lives to you!

I told you, Willem.

We gave him my documents.

We plan everything

very carefully.

And if they questioned the ...

Does he sing soprano?

No!

He had a ...

sore throat.

Excuse me.

But you walk around

picking people at random?

How did they know

they could trust him?

I knew him.

And he knew what the Lord told me.

Pope ...

You're the boss of this house.

The head of this house ...

orders that the door is opened

anyone to beat.

We can not afford to

skip to anybody

to engage seriously in this work,

regardless of their methods.

Perhaps allow us to ...

help with this.

Thanks for the delivery, Mr. Smit.

Only for emergencies!

We have a contact in the phone,

but you never know

if the line is not bugged.

We hope to develop

their own sources.

The less contact

have me,

or any other ...

better.

Willem,

know half of Haarlem.

We have friends everywhere!

My dear,

Ios know it's something ...

- Know their political stances ...

- God knows!

And ask Him to guide us.

We understand your concern,

Mr. Sluring.

We are not the perfect candidate.

But since there is a need,

should do everything possible to service it.

People have the most varied reasons

want to work secretly,

emotion, perhaps.

Mr. Sluring,

have passed the age at which the emotion

was important in our lives.

Actually ...

rather do anything else.

I wish to close the door

and not open it anymore.

Until all this horror

has ended.

But that's me.

My Lord Jesus ...

says to open the door

for anyone who comes.

Share His love

the way I can.

And I will listen to his voice ...

and not mine.

We passed the inspection?

How can you get?

We ... Mom's room,

your old room

Aunt Anna's room,

Bep aunt's room

and our 3 / 4 ... are 7.

We can sleep in the same bed

if necessary.

So, our hotel is ready

for guests.

Not yet.

What will

the Gestapo appear?

You will receive a visit

Jan Smit.

There are actually two houses.

For over 100 years

they were joined.

The front has 2 rooms

a long and wide.

The back, here ...

has 3 bedrooms.

On top of one another.

Pope, this is Mr. Smit.

Mr. Smit.

I know some Smits in Amsterdam.

And the family that Smit ...

Father, this is the man

I told you about.

He came to

inspect the house.

A building inspector?

It's yours office

Grote Street in the Hous?

No, Papa, he is not building inspector,

and his name is Smit.

- Not Smit?

- Excuse me, Papa.

We have to see the rest of the house.

The living room ...

Mealtime ...

is preferred for a hit.

Beware the dumps ...

and ashtrays.

We need a place

the highest possible.

Increases the chances of escape to a place

safe while looking down.

- These are all rooms?

- Yes.

If there is a night raid,

will have to take

their bedding,

and can not forget

to flip the mattress.

The favorite trick of the Gestapo

is feeling the heat of the bed.

What's up there?

The roof is just above.

Who sleeps here?

I sleep.

Perfect!

The wall ... will be ...

here!

Alright!

The sign is in the window.

You see,

There is a different brand,

we can always recognize

a Flenstadht.

What a beautiful day, Aunt Betsie.

Peter, no!

- I turn to look on Tuesday, then.

- Good

Mlle. Ten Boom!

Frisian!

That beautiful wood!

My father has already made a box like that.

Ah, he spent months riding

polishing, varnishing.

But it's just a case ...

we need to put

inside a machine.

How much will it cost?

Well, it'll take months to assemble Io.

Name your price.

Steep until I paid.

I liked the clock.

- Can I afford the best!

- But ...

not have machine!

None.

Very good.

Tuesday, Mr. Ten Boom.

Kik! Quick!

Aunt Betsie, how many times

I have to tell you?

Take the sign of the window

when it is not safe!

Kik ...

Sorry. Sorry!

Grandpa ... just look!

Tea, Mr. Smit?

Ah, thank you!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

- Good morning.

- Milk!

No milk! Ink!

Ink?

Betsie! Betsie!

Remember

Fred Koonstra?

Sure, it made reading

our clock by light years.

Her daughter was our student.

- Milk!

- Ink.

Ink!

Elsie Koonstra.

I know her name, I'm trying

remember some faces.

She must have some

twenties now.

Yesterday I learned that Fred works Koonstra

the department of nutrition.

Where?

Where to send

ration coupons.

I'll be frank.

We had unexpected visitors.

First, a baby ...

then a man,

and last night a couple.
