  • Cade and his army run on stage. Cade makes sure everyone knows he's Lord Mortimer, a noble (and not Jack Cade, a commoner).
  • A soldier runs away from Cade and his men, yelling "Jack Cade!" Cade's men kill him. That'll teach people not to call the guy Jack Cade.
  • Dick informs Cade that an army has gathered at Smithfield.
  • Let's go fight them, Cade says. But first, they should set fire to London—the Bridge, the Tower, whatever.
