Henry engages in what he says will be his last parley with the governor of Harfluer. He tells him that it would be in his best interest to surrender because if he does not, Henry will let loose his soldiers. The men will show no mercy and will rape women, kill grandfathers and put infants on spits.
The governor responds that the Dauphin is not yet prepared to defend the town, so he must surrender. As the English enter the city, Henry tells Exeter to keep the city, and he and the other soldiers will go on to Calais. He makes sure to direct Exeter to tell his men to be kind to the French.
