one of them.

Is Gertruide here?

Kathelijne?

Where is your sister?

Kathelijne!

I promised not to tell.

She...

Your son must have put her up to this,

he's dragged her off!

He is following his heart and his

convictions, I'm proud of that.

Proud? You must be mad!

Those convictions could get him killed!

Jacob!

You're either cocky or...

...very stupid.

I'm your enemy,

more powerful than you.

Within a week my army

will be at your gates...

...and then it will all be over in a day.

Our city is in a strategic location

hemmed in by the sea, the dunes...

...and by impassable marshland.

A siege could last a very long time.

A siege.

It will be winter soon.

Dutch winters can be very harsh.

A prolonged siege could be costly.

This is a map of our city.

I have marked the weak spots in the wall.

With this,you can enter the city

without a problem.

I imagine this information

is quite valuable.

A fraction of the cost of a siege.

You've got guts.

A lot of guts.

We got something else for you...

...that I'm sure you

won't be able to resist.

You will have your money.

Half now...

...the rest when the city is mine.

You are a wise and brave man,

Mr de Toledo.

To Haarlem!

Couldn't he loot the city anyway?

Who says he'll keep his word?

Who cares? We'll be long gone.

You can't be serious.

Without his money, we're bankrupt.

You're betraying Haarlem?

You've no idea

what you're talking about.

You're welcome to go back

to your old life if you prefer.

My wife expresses her gratitude

and praises your bold decision.

Good night to you, sir.

You're staying here.

You've lived in luxury thanks to me.

Now it's time to return the favour.

A small sacrifice for the freedom

we are buying for ourselves.

And try to look a bit more cheerful.

The Spanish are passionate lovers,

or so I'm told.

In name of King Philip ll...

...we will witness the burning

of these Protestant heretics...

...Who have denied the one true Church...

...and thereby his Holiness the Pope.

Pieter...

Gertruide!

- Mama!

Pieter! Pieter!

Gertruide, repeat the words!

Denounce your errors and repent.

-Gertruide, please, say the words!

Pieter! Pieter!

My daughter is not a heretic.

She's Catholic.

In God's name, have mercy.

I'm begging you.

She is still so young.

Please!

Come, come...

We're leaving.

Mama...

The priest was listening to me.

I could have convinced him...

...if I'd had more time.

There was no hope for her.

Mr Mayor, fellow governors.

I won't leave you in suspense:

I went to see Don Fadrique de Toledo.

He's given me his word. If we surrender

not a drop of blood will be spilled.

His seal,

I have it in black and white.
