"THE MAN FROM GHENT" "Ubbe, come." "Ubbe." "Beer." "Your money or your life." "Must be drunk." "Man, go home." "You're drunk." "Pay." "Who are you?" "Count of Sloten, Duke of Sneek, King of Friesland, Admiral of the Zuiderzee, Destroyer of Danes and Bane of the Hollanders." "Sounds good." "But that's not all." "No?" "I have a nickname." "Oh." "Which one?" "Big Pier." "Big Pier!" "Big Pier!" "Tell me something, buddy." "Where is the chapel of Oldenstein Castle?" "With all those images of saints." "Made of gold." "Well?" "Do I have to beat it out of you?" "The hunter's path, along the river." "Turn left at the mill." "Ubbe, tie him up." "Let's see if you're tied up well." "He won't get away." "Idiot." "Open the gate!" "Stop." "Put that weapon away." "Who are you, sir?" "I'm from Ghent." "I want to see Sir Wolter." "What is your name?" "Gwijde van Suijkerbuijk" "Suijkerbuijk as in Sugar Belly?" "Yes, that's what I said." "Officer." "Suijkerbuijk..." "Sugar Belly..." "You want to speak to Sir Wolter?" "Yes, I have an urgent message for him." "Your weapons, please." "Strangers have to hand in their weapons." "Orders from Sir Wolter." "I don't appreciate that." "But anyway." "Follow me, please." "Pay!" "Everybody gets paid." "Next." "How much?" "100 cents." "Name." "Naken." "How much?" "150 cents." "Next." "Step forward." "Good day, sir." "I am Gwijde van Suijkerbuijk." "I am Wolter van Oldenstein." "Welcome." "It is an honour to meet you, sir." "This is Floris van Rosemondt." "Sir Wolter, I'm a special emissary of both our ruler Philip the Handsome, Duke of Burgundy." "I see." "Will you present me your letters of credence?" "Letters of credence?" "Don't you trust me?" "In Flanders, we're more tactful than that." "And here, we're careful." "Your papers, please." "Here you are." "Alright." "You'll understand my prudence." "Oh well." "Let them bring beer." "What is the reason of your visit?" "I was in Oudewater this morning." "The commander there asked me to give you this letter." "Rogier." "Line up the soldiers Van Rossem wants to attack Oudewater." "We have to send reinforcements quickly." "Soldiers, line up." "We haven't gotten our pay yet." "Line up!" "We don't want to line up." "We don't fight without money." "We want pay." "If you reach Oudewater in time, I'll pay double." "That makes a big difference." "Then we agree." "Run!" "We're going!" "That's wonderful." "Where did you learn this?" "In China." "They light hundreds of them during parties." "Is this one as well?" "Yes, but that one goes up." "You can use them to warn each other of danger." "I see." "Very useful." "Come, let's have a drink." "You're well off, Sir Wolter." "We need it for the battle." "Without money no soldiers." "And without soldiers no Oldenstein." "If we all help, we can take this box downstairs." "Such luxury." "Sir Wolter!" "What is it?" "You have to come right away." "Big Pier is coming." "What?" "Big Pier." "Go upstairs." "Are you coming?" "Yes, yes, I'm coming." "Floris." "Big Pier is going to steal the golden images." "How do you know?" "The innkeeper told me." "I heard them say it myself." "First they attacked my inn and then they were going to the chapel." "That's our chance to catch him." "We'll wait in ambush around the chapel." "But our soldiers have gone to Oudewater." "That doesn't matter." "We'll take everyone we can find." "This is our chance." "What about the stronghold?" "Who will stay here?" "I will stay." "Sir Wolter, shall I come with you?" "I'd rather have you stay here." "Big Pier is a dangerous man." "Floris." "Take those flares." "If anything goes wrong, we can warn each other." "Sindala, look after these." "Those are worth a lot." "I don't trust Suijkerbuijk." "He's sanctimonious, but he means well." "They're going to the chapel." "To catch me." "Come." "To the castle." "Gunpowder." "Can I close the window?" "There's a draft." "Of course." "Thank you." "Go." "Down with it." "And come on." "Great, Ubbe." "Like in the old days." "Where did that mortar go?" "Yes, where is it?" "Here, catch." "Is everything ready?" "They're all gone." "But there's one soldier guarding the treasury." "That's not a problem." "Show me the way." "Enough." "Enough for the rest of my life." "A house in Sneek, a little boat, some fishing gear..." "No!" "That money goes to Guelders." "And you decide that." "If you keep this for yourself Charles of Guelders will strip you of all your titles." "And this will have become useless." "Duke of Sneek..." "Count of Sloten." "King of Friesland?" "Admiral of the Zuiderzee?" "I am the King of Friesland." "King of Friesland!" "What are you doing?" "The money has to go into bags." "We can't lift that box." "Don't be slow." "Keep going." "Hurry up." "Stop!" "Sindala is shooting flares." "Something happened." "Back to Oldenstein!" "Come on!" "Oldenstein!" "Oldenstein!" "Ubbe, let's go!" "Coward!" "Ubbe, sword!" "Ubbe!" "Finally I've got you, villain!" "What's happening here?" "The villain stole all my clothes." "We'll help you." "He pretended to be Gwijde van Suijkerbuijk." "That's me." "What?" "These are my letters of credence." "What are you doing?" "Nettles." "He has got to wear something." "Done." "Good." "Let's go to the castle." "Will you be my guest?" "Thank you."
