The Underdog Strikes Back - Episode 2

Townspeople mock the widowed Queen, insinuating she will take a new lover and bear a child. Her son Telemachus interrupts their jeers, fiercely defending his mother's honor. A group of men led by Lord Antonious's followers confront him, declaring the Queen belongs to their lord and they will become his new 'uncles'. When Telemachus refuses and attacks, they overpower him and take him prisoner to use as leverage against the Queen. An old man intervenes, throwing a knife to free the prince, but is attacked by the guards. Just as Telemachus is captured, a mysterious figure arrives and recognizes him.
