Michiel has loaned a horse and cart from the Baroness and is risking his life transporting father and son Kleerkoper (who are dressed as women) across the Ijssel.

The Germans are on the retreat. One German soldier takes it upon himself to rescue Michiel's little brother Jochem who's climbed up a crumbling roof. Meanwhile Dirk Knoppen and friends manage to escape from a train transport.
