I can only put Io

Lord's hands,

and ask Him

that reach your heart.

Do it, Miss. Ten Boom.

The demons are on the loose today.

He thought he could sleep

with any noise.

Want some tea?

Thanks.

You know, Miss. Ten Boom ...

we are very similar.

Stubborn ...

firm ...

determined.

Still not doing

their share of housework.

We are equal, yes.

But I'm more ...

then ... I won!

Did you know ...

I have a wife and young son?

That's right.

Prefer not to expose myself.

They fled.

At least ...

I think it fled.

I will not run around

like the others,

begging

compassion and safety.

We know so little of each other.

You mind

with our needs.

Certainly has

their own needs.

People like us,

Mlle. Ten Boom ...

have waves of fury

behind the stubbornness.

No rage.

Could say my life

has been ... monotonous.

Until all this?

Until all this.

Marriage has never been considered

Ten Boom by sisters?

Betsie had always

a delicate health.

She knew

could not have children,

then decided not to marry.

And you?

I had a boyfriend,

but I was not thin enough

for his family.

I had no style.

Still,

I was the first woman to obtain

license to watch the Netherlands.

And you have your father,

and his religion.

Is that enough?

More than enough.

God has been good to me.

Yes, I ...

I think so.

And I think ...

that already go to my bed.

I will pray for your family.

Do not think that will do me

peel potatoes, Miss. Ten Boom.

Good morning.

Mlle. Ten Boom?

Yes?

My name is Vogel ...

Jan Vogel.

I came from far away

Ermelo.

It has a clock to fix?

I need 600 florins.

I hear you have some contacts.

I do not understand.

It is my wife ...

she was arrested.

She is Jewish.

It's a lot of money.

There's a cop who goes

arrange everything for 600 Fl ...

and then she will need

a place to hide.

What?

Somebody come and get it

within an hour.

Mr. Jan Vogel.

He is from Ermelo.

His wife was arrested.

It's for a bribe.

You're impossible.

Listen here ...

I'll handle it.

You can go to bed please?

But Willem and Tine are coming.

- You can go down later.

- So you call me.

I'll call.

- And use the steam kettle!

- Yes, yes.

I feel that today the Lord wants

we read Romans chapter 8.

Who shall separate us

the love of Christ?

Shall tribulation, or distress,

or persecution or famine

or nakedness, or peril,

or sword?

This means that God

abandoned us? No!

In all these things, however,

are more than conquerors

through Christ who loved us.

Because I am convinced that

neither death nor life ...

nor angels, nor principalities ...

can separate us from the love of God.

Nor things present ...

nor things to come, nor powers ...

nor any other creature

can separate us ...

Side door.

Come on.

All upstairs!

Corrie!

Yes, I am sorry, but we

closed until 2 am.

Mlle. Ten Boom ...

marked time with his sister.

Mr. Vogel?

I need the money now!

- Yes, of course, I'll pick him up.

- Please! Mlle. Ten Boom!

- On your marks, everyone!

- Come, quick!

- Please, Miss. Ten Boom.

- Yes, just a moment!

I'm taking the money.

Stay here, I see up there!

Mlle. Ten Boom?

Ten Boom, Elizabeth.

Where do you hide your

ration coupons?

I do not know what you mean.

- Where are the Jews?

- What Jews?

O Lord Jesus, help me!

Where are the Jews?

Where is the secret room?

Corrie!

Stop it!

We did nothing

wrong in this house.

So why are all these

ration coupons?

To feed an army?

What does your book

about obeying authority?

There is a moment ...

where we choose

between God and man.

Keep walking.

- Name?

- Cornelia.

Ten Boom, Elizabeth.

- Name?

- Ten Boom, Casper.

Papa!

Only six?

Seven.

God is with us.

Ten Boom ...

Give me your word

that will behave,

and may die in peace

in his bed at his home.

If I get back,

open the door to anyone ...

beat that asking for help.

May close.

Sealing the house.

Out! Out! Out!

Corrie, hold my hand.

- My sister needs a doctor.

- Move!

Papa!

Papa!

God be with you, Daddy!

And you, my children!

I have to go in there.

The fever dropped?

You left them worried.

Typhus.

I kept a loaf of yesterday

for you.

Listen, I have family here.

My sister, my brother,

My father, my nephew,

Ten Boom family.

You can find out where they are?

Perhaps, listen ...

Can I get soap,

aspirin, cigarettes.

You can pay me when

begin to receive letters.

Soap, 25 Fl, Aspirin, 50.

Cigarettes, 100.

I can almost everything!

You can get a Bible?

Kik It! They can leave now.

Oh, thank God!

For the roof, quickly.

The roof!

- Where is your family?

- Fast!

- And Ten Boom?

- Still in prison.

That's all I know.

My mother made the quilt

my bed ...

was his outfit.

The table-side mirror is ...

Do not go away!

Stay ...

please.

They think they have

to give you food.

- All have been released.

- All?

Except her sister Betsie

and his father, I think.

- Not sure.

- Oh, thank you, Lord!

O Lord, thank you!

Here is a bread bakery

guards ... is cool!

Oh Lord ...

You have done wonders.

I do not deserve

a little credit?

Lord, bless this angel.

God bless you!

You think you can last here

doing this? Praying?

The only way to live here ...

is hating.

Hate can put it into

a prison worse than this.

I am 3 years into this hole.

It was difficult to get

this position.

And I live for revenge

Pigs who betrayed me.

You owe me 75 guilders!

Are you cold?

For me it is very pleasant.

Sorry.

Here for violation

the rules of rationing.

Care to say where he got

these extra coupons?

Sometimes

they just appeared.

Like so ... appeared?

Were tucked under the door.

Other times I have been

market data.

By whom?

- A Mr. Smit.

- Mr. Jan Smit?

Can you tell me

about their activities?

My sister and I

we took classes on the Bible

until these classes

were banned.

And we worked

with exceptional children.

- How?

- Like what?

As they worked with?

We taught them about God.

What a waste!

If you want to convert,

certainly worth a normal person

delayed more than all the world.

In the eyes of God,

a child may be worth more than ...

The daughter of a watchmaker.

Maybe ...

but I know that He is always

watching over me.

You really believe that?

I believe that He is looking

for you too, Lieutenant.

Tell me, Miss. Ten Boom,

how can one believe in God

leaving an elderly man

die in prison?

And your body be buried

in a common grave?

My father?

It seems that he was taken ill

after 10 days.

He was taken to a hospital in The Hague,

but unfortunately ...

there were no beds.

He apparently

died in the hallway.

One type of administrative malfunction.

In these circumstances,

nobody complains when the body ...

is difficult to know where you are.

I know where my father is,

Lieutenant.

That's all,

Mlle. Ten Boom.

Do you have news from home.

ALL WATCHES SAFE

Pope ...

Pope ...
