Thomasina:  Two weeks , and no news from Captain Shepherd .
King Silas Benjamin: Dangerous country , our southern border ; perhaps he does n't return at all .
Thomasina: You do n't sound concerned ... Your faith was misplaced ?
King Silas Benjamin: All faith is misplaced ; his lie belies his ambition , whether he knows it or not - but I see it .
Thomasina: What of the Charter ?
King Silas Benjamin: To hell with the Charter ; today we start a new _ one _ . It 's time for * me * to be the hero of my country again .
