(violin music) (Kitty gasps) - Here he is, the root of all evil.
- The Devil incarnate.
At your service ma'am.
- I'm afraid you have a houseful.
- Yes, I can see that.
- What's the name of this soldier?
- Jeremy.
- [Ned] There'll be a reckoning when I discover who's responsible for my disgrace.
- Do nothing in haste.
They have no evidence of treachery.
- Because none exists.
- But evidence of loyalty to present to those who can influence the matter and restore you to your post.
That I'm keen to procure.
Do you know anyone who can speak in your favor?
- [Ned] Bannantine, my secretary, but I've no notion where he went after I was recalled.
- I'll make inquiries.
He could help us discover who falsely accused you.
- My money's on that bastard Hanson, but he alone could not have had me recalled.
Someone here with vested interest and no mean powers and connections, even up to the mad king himself must have done that.
But they'll pay for it.
