that we held out here...

All those people who died.

All for nothing?

No!

We have weakened the Spanish army.

We have given Alkmaar time

to fortify its walls.

We won't give up.

We will try to evacuate as many

citizens as possible, via the dunes.

The Prince promised to provide

shelter in Sassenheim.

Our children...

We owe it to our children

to keep fighting.

The engineer has to get to Alkmaar,

as quickly as possible.

He has to ood the area.

You have to take him.

The Magdalena is fast,

the wind is in your favour...

You have to do it.

What about you?

We have to negotiate our surrender and

make sure the evacuation runs smoothly.

You're going with her.

The Magdalena needs to be ready

to sail in half an hour.

We need to take an engineer to Alkmaar.

I'm going to look for Kathelijne.

Kathelijne?

Kathelijne!

Let's go! Quickly!

Where is my daughter?

I don't know.

I don't know where she is.

- I'm coming with you.

No,you have to go on the Magdalena.

You can sail her.

I'll look for her.

What's the matter?

- I can't come, I haven't found her.

You must take the engineer to Alkmaar.

Come on,we have to go.

Kathelijne! Kathelijne!

Come.

Kathelijne and I are two peas in a pod.

When she gets

something in her head...

She was right.

You couldn't stop Gertruide.

She always did exactly

what she wanted.

If Kathelijne had stopped her...

...she'd have left the night after.

What Kathelijne did in Utrecht...

...that's what I should have done...

...but I couldn't do it.

And afterwards...

...I missed her.

That feeling was so overwhelming.

I was furious.

With the Spanish...

...but also with Kathelijne.

I'm terrified that something

will happen to her too.

I am so incredibly proud of her.

We're going to find her.

Yes?

Come on.

No, find her! Go!

Don Fadrique!

The she-devil!

So, Goliath, how does it feel to

finally have David on his knees?

You will never defeat Holland, even

if you fight us for a hundred years.

Never!

Chopping your head off

would be far too easy.

Throw her in the water.

Kenau!

Kathelijne!

Come.

Where's Mama?

With the help of the engineer...

...the insurgents burst the dikes

at Alkmaar and ood the land

Knocked by this blow,

the Spanish army fails to take Alkmaar

Thanks to the siege of Haarlem

Holland is free

This marks the start of the Republic

of the Seven Provinces...

...which later becomes

the Kingdom of the Netherlands

Kenau's deeds have been forgotten

Only her name lives on in Dutch,

as an insult

A 'Kenau' is a Shrew

We know better now

Kenau's army of women

is fighting for Plan Nederland.

Giving girls in Third World countries

the opportunity...

...to become women to be reckoned with.

Do your bit to make this possible!
