Original subtitles

Except they didn't throw me away.

Maybe you're just imagining that he looks like you.

I didn't have anything to do with the war before I met Dorbeck.

But when I saw him...

I knew that compared to him, my life was meaningless.

That I could only justify my existence by doing as he said.

I've done everything he told me to do, and that's a lot.

A whole lot.

Perhaps you wouldn't have me if you were someone else.

Perhaps you'd rather have had Dorbeck if you knew him.

No.

You've only known me with black hair, like his.

I'll love you just as much when it's blond again.

Madam, sir. - Two.

And you? - Two.

On the French coast, the hatred for the allies is growing...

because the Americans destroy French cities and villages randomly.

This is how the 'liberators' operate in France.

Tanks are attacked with all kinds of weapons.

The struggle for Europe continues.

Erik, that's you.

Or is it... - Dorbeck.

Stay there. I'm leaving.

It will be all right in the end.

There he goes, you see? Wait, sir.

What is it?

Careful, that's Ducker. Stop him.

Why are you stopping me? The doorman attacked me.

ID, please. The lady is still inside.

Oh, you're with the police. - I'm on duty.

Come with me.

We're so glad that we're finally able to talk to you.

Where is my mother? - She's with us.

We're taking excellent care of her. They got your uncle, your whole family.

But there are a number of possibilities.

We could even let them go.

But you'll have to help us by telling us everything you know.

I'm not a street robber.

You hear, Schmidt? Of course not.

But you attack our friends. - Attack?

2e Emmastraat 22, Haarlem.

We know everything.

Who ordered you to do that?

What are you're talking about? - Do you think we're stupid?

Perhaps.

Do you really want us to lose our temper?

What do you know about Gjaltema? - I don't know any Gjaltema.

Bring Gjaltema in. Hear that, Schmidt? He doesn't know Gjaltema.

Is this the man in the photo, Gjaltema?

Yes.

What's his name?

Dorbeck.

Right.

Henk Ducker, alias Erik van Rijssen, alias Dorbeck.

Are you sure it's him?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Dorbeck.

They beat me up so badly, I can't take any more.

Well, Dorbeck?

I've never seen him. - I see.

And you've never seen this either?

That doesn't belong to Marianne.

Glauert in Lunteren was shot with this gun.

We have scientific proof.

Is this your gun? - Yes.

I thought so.

It was in Marianne Mesdag's bag. How come?

If you don't say anything, we'll get her to talk.

You can't keep her here. - We can do whatever we want.

Think about that.

Come.

Name?

Turlings. - What do you want?

Obersturmf�hrer Ebernuss.

Thank you for everything.

Left.

Darling.

There's no more danger.

Thank you for the important information you've given us.

It's been so long.

A lot has happened.

The allies have already crossed the Rhine.

Yes.

And we're getting nearer to the truth in your case.

Cigarette?

We have a crazy suspicion...

that there's someone out there who looks exactly like you.

Do you know who I mean? - No.

He has black hair.

He exists. He is in Holland.

Who is this man?

No idea.

I do. His name is Dorbeck.

Never heard of him.

So why did you dye your hair?

Drink up.

Teetotaller? - I don't like it.

He sometimes goes to a cellar in Amsterdam.

You know where, you hid there once yourself.

I want to meet Dorbeck, and I want you to help me.

No.

I want to get out, Ducker. I've had enough.

The war is over, for me.

The Americans will be here any moment. Take me to Dorbeck.

I have some important documents for him.

I'll tell you something else.

Your girlfriend is pregnant.

What has that got to do with it? - A lot.

Do you believe me now?

Your girlfriend is in a clinic, giving birth.

So I've kept my promise.

Give me a cigarette.

Explain it carefully to them.

I'll put all my cards on the table. I'm just trying to save my skin.

You trust me, don't you?

Here.

I'll give you the car key.

Hey, long time no see. - Hennie, how did you get out?

I'll tell you later. Is Tonino here? - Did you escape?

No, I came with someone. Ebernuss.

He needs a hiding place. He knew the address.

He has brought important documents.

Is he alone? - Yes, he's waiting outside.

Do you know about Ria? Turlings is living with her.

What about my mother?

Didn't you hear? - Hear what?

She committed suicide in prison.

Come along.

Is he here? Where? - Downstairs.

Dorbeck.

Unbelievable. - You're here with a German.

He wants to desert. - We don't need him.

Give him a drink and pour this into his glass.

Here.

Take this.

Are you staying here? - Yes, I'll see you outside.

Do it now. - Yes, see you later.

Who is that? - Never seen him. We're going next door.

Stay there. - Thank you.

I wanted to get in touch with you...

He doesn't look so impressive without a uniform.

I hope we can negotiate. I'm putting all my cards on the table.

Provided my safety is guaranteed.

How did you get this address?

Your address is known at the Sicherheitsdienst.

I knew about your attack at the Concertgebouw last month.

I sympathise with you and can offer my contribution...

however modest, to handle things quickly.

To fight for a gang who want to stay in power...

is a tragedy to every German.

We can discuss it man to man.

What can you contribute? - I have important documents...

for the national movements. I want to give them to your leader.

Who do you mean?

I thought Dorbeck was the head of your group.

Who? - Dorbeck.

Cheers.

A nice souvenir. - My Leica.

Let me see.

There's a new film inside.

I probably look like a rat leaving a sinking ship.

But I believe the documents I have for your group...

Open the window. Shoot if they try to stop us.

I never thought I'd see you again.

What about Ebernuss? - He'll vanish without a trace.

Ebernuss knew about you.

I was arrested because of a photo of you with my name on it.

Didn't you know? Your wife denounced you.

She's telling everyone you're dead.

Get a move on.

Drive off.

Who lives here? - You do.

No one's at home. Here are the keys.

Listen. I don't have much time. - Do you have to go?

Look.

This is a historic moment.

Come here.

It's far too dark here.

Stand still.

Open that suitcase.

What do you want with that? - It's for you.

Me, in this?

Yes, try it on.

It will fit you perfectly.

It probably will. - Probably?

I have to know for certain.

I'm not a bloody girl. - Do you want to get arrested again?

I want to go to a liberated area. - Fat chance.

You see? It fits.

Put the cap on.

There's documents, cigarettes and food stamps in here.

I'm off. - Hey, Dorbeck.

Dorbeck, my clothes.

You could at least have given me a gun.

Nurse, where is Ms Mesdag?

Marianne Mesdag. - Oh, right.

Wait here, please.

You're here to see Ms Mesdag? She's asleep.

She really needs her rest.

Would you like to see the baby? Wait here.

You'd like to see the Mesdag baby?

Isn't it sad?

Excuse me, nurse. Can I help you?

Don't walk off. I want to help you. I'm begging you.

I'm going to The Hague, but I'm not in a hurry. Can I give you a lift?

To The Hague.

Thank you.

Nurse, you gave me a fright.

You look like...

Hennie.

Turlings.

Turlings.

Bye, nurse. - Thank you.

What's going on? - We're waiting for the Queen.

I've just come from the occupied zone.

All those flags.

Where can I find our Armed Forces?

Across the road. The Queen is there to inspect.

Children, let the nurse through.

What do you want? - To see the commander. I'm Ducker.

I'll pass on the message.

Nice, weather, eh?

Good weather for sunbathing.

What, Ducker?

Is that Ducker?

I am Ducker. - Arrest and frisk that spy.

He is not a nurse.

Let's go.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

Line up. - Let go of me.

Are you insane?

What the hell is going on?

Let me go. I'm not a spy.

I'm not a spy.

Let me out. Are you mad?

I am Ducker. I came through the lines last night.

Are you mad?

I am Ducker.

Hurrah.

Is that him? - He really does look like a girl.

Strawberries and cream. And nothing for you, you queer.

Yes?

Take off his cuffs.

I'm Inspector Wierdeman. Let's get started right away.

Sit down.

Your case is a bit of a mess. - My case?

What's going on?

Dozens of people died because of you.

Dozens of people? Because of me? What's going on?

Shut up.

I'll give you enough chance to justify yourself.

Let's start at the beginning.

How many photos did you have? - Three.

What was on them? - A train, a portrait and telephonist.

Were there only three photos? - Yes.

How did you get them? - From Dorbeck from England.

England? - Of course.

Are these the photos?

How is that possible? - These were found in German files.

The Germans used them to penetrate illegal organisations.

That's not my fault. - What is?

Everyone who had a photo like this was shot by the Germans.

How did you get those photos?

Dorbeck gave them to me.

How do you spell that? - Ck.

You don't know anything about me.

You only bring up facts against me.

What about everything I did for the Liberation?

Don't make me laugh.

Everything you did? Who do you think you are?

Get a mirror. - What happened in Lunteren?

I already told you.

I shot Glauert, together with a girl.

Why don't you call her. - How dare you bring her up?

The girl was arrested on the train.

She's dead, Ducker. She was carrying one of those photos.

The girl, Elly Sprenkel, came from England.

She meets you and then she's shot. Why?

She was carrying that photo. - Because she had a photo, I knew...

Ask Dorbeck. - His name isn't mentioned anywhere.

We asked around everywhere. No one knows him.

The Germans do. Ebernuss knew. - Ebernuss?

I poisoned him in Tonino's cellar.

Tonino? Where is Tonino?

I'm asking you. Bring him in. He knew Dorbeck too.

The Tonino group was rolled up before the Liberation.

Tonino is dead?

That means everyone who knew Dorbeck is dead.

Yes, they're all dead. You're the only one alive.

What are you implying?

This is the only mirror I could find.

Let that guy take a look in it.

The face of the guy who helped in the Liberation.

Bloody hell.

Where did you meet this Dorbeck?

He came down in a parachute.

Where?

In Voorschoten, near my home.

He gave me the photos and assignments.

Are you sure this Dorbeck really exists?

I can prove that he exists.

His overalls are buried in my garden. Along with his goggles.

Tell them where to dig. I'll wait here.

In the shed.

Where? - There.

Here?

It's here.

His goggles, here.

Here, English camouflage overalls, you see?

You can still see the colours. This belongs to Dorbeck, I can prove it.

Dorbeck was the same height as me.

Come along. Someone has recognised the portrait.

Who? - An old man in a wheelchair.

He was in a concentration camp.

Uncle Frans, I thought you were dead.

Don't shout. Excitement is bad for your uncle.

What's wrong with him? - This is how he came out of the camp.

Hello, Hennie. I recognise you.

Is he your nephew? - Yes.

Do you remember what I told you about Dorbeck?

I don't know any Dorbeck.

The portrait in the paper was of you.

Dorbeck looked exactly like me, except he had black hair.

He came from England.

Did the Germans ask you about Dorbeck?

Never.

Or about your nephew? - No.

Do you remember how I came to see you with Elly?

Yes, I do.

His poor mother was arrested by the Germans, and what did he do?

He dyed his hair black.

Mr Lening, did he work for the Germans?

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised. Weak character.

Uncle Frans, I'm innocent.

Everyone who knew me, is dead. You know I'm not a traitor.

Telling people you're Dorbeck. But you're not.

You're Hendrikus Ducker and no one else.

They know. That's not the issue.

Do you remember me telling you about Dorbeck?

I'm tired.

You can go.

You know I'm not a traitor. Can't you remember anything?

He shook his head.

What does that prove? He's old, he can't remember anything.

There must be people out there who knew Dorbeck.

Who are these people?

Turlings. - Did Turlings see Dorbeck?

At the Haarlem attack. Dorbeck kept watch.

Turlings saw Dorbeck. - Turlings saw him.

Who is this Mr Turlings?

He was with the Nazis.

The only one who knows Dorbeck and is still alive, is a Nazi. Great.

And that traitor is supposed to come and defend you?

I swear to you that Dorbeck did exist.

Listen, you idiot.

One piece of evidence that would prove Dorbeck existed would be enough.

There is one piece of evidence. I've just remembered.

I took a photo, on the day that Dorbeck rescued me.

Of the two of us in front of a mirror.

Where is this photo?

I lost my Leica on the way.

But I remember the number.

I don't know why I'm still doing this for you.

It was a Leica III.

Number 24567.

38.9. You're in luck.

If it was 38.5, you would have had to get up.

Third bed to the left, sir.

Hello, Hennie Ducker.

Doctor, you've come to see me.

How are you?

I'm all right.

Did you know my mother died? - Yes, I heard.

You loved her very much, didn't you?

Why did you put her in danger?

If Dorbeck hadn't come... - This Dorbeck story.

Do you believe it yourself?

What do you mean? - I know your whole file.

I'll make a report for the judges that it was all a hallucination.

I'll tell them you honestly believed that this Dorbeck existed.

You're going to declare me insane? - What choice have I got?

He is a figment of your imagination.

It's like your mother.

She claimed she saw you twice.

Because she saw me and Dorbeck. Dorbeck existed.

His overalls prove it.

Lie down. Stay calm.

I don't care if you don't believe me. It's not my fault my mother was mad.

Do you know what you're facing? They'll shoot you.

Imagine Dorbeck shows up and I've had myself declared insane.

If I agreed, that would mean I was truly insane.

What a shame.

We won't be having a white Christmas this year.

It would have been nice, a white Christmas and freedom.

What a pity.

Silent night, holy night

No, be quiet. We'll rehearse in a minute.

Yes, Father. A terrible shame.

Don't. I wasn't brought up with that nonsense.

It's never too late. A candle or a sprig of holly won't harm you.

I don't need it.

Most people here appreciate it.

I'm innocent. I don't belong with this scum.

No one knows for sure he's innocent.

Don't you hate having to wear a dress? I know what that's like.

I never thought about it.

What's your name? - Ducker.

I've heard about your case.

Can I do anything for you?

If Dorbeck shows up, my innocence will be proven.

I can pray for mercy. - I don't need that.

How else can you be saved?

Someone has to find the Leica with the film in it with Dorbeck on it.

I'll pray for you.

I'll pray that someone finds your Leica.

I'll pray to all the saints.

No, no. Let's start again.

A present from Santa.

Is it my Leica? - Have a look.

When was this found?

This morning? - We've had it for a few days.

Don't tell the priest.

Is it yours?

The film is in it. Why didn't you have it developed?

You do it. Come with me.

I knew someone would find it.

Still, it's a miracle.

The priest prayed to all the saints. Good man.

Where was it found? I still don't know where I lost it.

But it's here now.

Incredible.

Here's everything you need. The window is covered.

Switch off the light.

Switch it back on.

Has anyone got a watch?

It's broken.

You see? The lens is broken.

They've been throwing it about.

It can be fixed.

If they release me, I'll take a photo of all of you.

I've never seen this before.

It should be ready now.

There was hardly anything on it.

I can't see anything. - It's there.

Damn, what the hell is this?

It's you.

Is that you or not?

And that guy...

Incredible.

That's bloody Ebernuss. - It was taken at Tonino.

The photo of Dorbeck should be after it. Let me see.

See for yourself.

How is that possible?

Where is Dorbeck? - You tell me.

What are you standing there? Go and look for Dorbeck. He knows everything.

I admit it. I'm nothing without Dorbeck.

Dorbeck knows everything.

Dorbeck, come out of there.

He's here? Is he being kept a prisoner here too?

I'll find him. Oh yes, I will.

Hey, you, what are you up to? Come back.

Dorbeck, come here.

Dorbeck, this is Ducker.

No, I'm not listening.

I want an explanation first. Do you hear?

I want an explanation.

Stop, or I'll shoot. - We have to find Dorbeck.

We have to.

Murderers.

What a mess.

Where is the doctor? - He's on holiday.

He's still moaning.

Filthy business.

Don't you read the papers? - What?

I believe in that guy.

He knows too much. That's why they're leaving him to die.

Ducker.

What can I do for you?

Dorbeck knows everything.

Find Dorbeck.

But Ducker... - The photo didn't come out right.

Dorbeck must be found.

You must stay alive. You have to find Dorbeck yourself.

No one else will find him for you.

You hear me?

You must stay alive. You have to escape.

I'll give you my cassock to escape in.

Stop the bleeding.

Aren't there any doctors around?

I knew someone in the war who looked like you.

He looked like me?

A spitting image of you.
