The General's Battle at Home - Episode 8

At a public hearing signaled by a grievance drum, Madam Reeds accuses ruffians of breaking into her home and abducting her daughter Clara Reeds. She testifies in court, names James Smith as the attacker, and Miss Reeds confirms he assaulted her. The magistrate orders James brought in; guards are called. James appears and answers, "I'm here." The episode closes with someone whispering "Father," leaving the accusation and Clara's fate unresolved as all eyes turn to the judge, who must decide the next steps.
