jefferson essentially frames aaron burr for treason. brian: where is he? : burr is no longer vice president. after the first term, jefferson throws him off the ticket. brian: he has already killed hamilton? joel: he has already killed hamilton and acquitted chase. jefferson doesn't want him on his team and throws him off. burr tries to run for governor of new york and loses. he is basically a man lost in the wilderness. he comes up with a crazy scheme that nobody knows what he really intended, whether to start a war with mexico, to carve out his own empire, we don't know what he was doing. but there is no hard evidence that he was actually going to commit treason against the united states. jefferson nonetheless uses what little evidence he can put together from one of burr's collaborators and manages to frame this case against him for treason. but when it is clear -- and the case goes to the circuit court in virginia, which is headed by john marshall, so john marshall is a circuit court judge. as a chief justice, he also has to run a circuit court. he is he

. >> stephen: obviously, aaron burr is the antihero in this, but the real villain, a wonderful villain: and how does it play over there to see one of their kings really openly mocked in this fantastic performance? >> yeah piches a little nervous because i sat next to prince harry and meghan markle while they-- >> stephen: this night? >> yes, there's my lovely wife, vanessa. and that's his great-grandpa. >> stephen: direct descendant. >> we're sitting in a theor named after his fourth great grandma, the royal victoria palace theater. but it laid really well. and he sort of married into the family so, you know, he married an american. and she'd seen the show before so it went really well. but they-- they dig it. >> stephen: they love to take the (bleep) out of the royal family. >> helen mirren was one of the first people to see "hamilton." she saw a reallyally view in the public. and i said, "how are you going go to play?" she said, oh, they love it when you (bleepat all. >> stephen: that was a spot-ospooky helen mirren right there. now, this must be very exciting for you. i know "hamilt
