Ned Reese Cart

Ned Reese Cart is a secondary character in "Norwich and Saggers: Smarter Than the Average Bear". He is a member of the P.R.A.T.S and Garyth Soup's right-hand man: his name is an anagram of French philosopher Rene Descartes. He is portrayed by Tony Collins.

Appearance and Personality
Ned is the right-hand man of Garyth Soup, the leader of the P.R.A.T.S. He is a tall man with black spiked hair, and he wears a black suit and white shirt. He is a proficient swordsman, and owns a sword that is disguised as a pen.

Despite his high standing in the P.R.A.T.S, Ned's sole motivation seems to be rekindling his romantic relationship with Sister Mary. He is, however, reluctant to give up his place in the P.R.A.T.S. for her.

Relationship with Sister Mary
Before the events depicted in the film, Ned and Mary were in a romantic relationship. While Ned is in the detectives' office, he has a flashback to a time when they were happier, however over the course of the film we discover that they were incompatible due to their opposing beliefs.

Role
In the second scene of the film, we meet Ned as he asks Norwich and Saggers to find out who killed Sister Mary. He claims not to know her, and that he witnessed her murder while making a documentary, but a flashback reveals his romantic relationship with Sister Mary.

He meets with Garyth Soup in a back alley, and they discuss their plans, which involve throwing Norwich and Saggers off the scent so they can carry out their plans. While they talk, someone (Ratchett) records them on a handheld camera. They are distracted by a noise, and go to investigate.

After Sister Mary reveals herself as living to Norwich and Saggers, Ned follows her to the Church. As she exits after talking to the Father, Ned approaches her under the pretense of converting to Christianity. Finally he admits that he has been stalking her, and asks her for another chance, which she turns down.

He leaves, with Norwich following him, and enters the P.R.A.T.S' lair. He and Garyth try to convince Norwich to join them, explaining their plan to obliterate religion and faith and restore free will and choice to the world. Norwich defies them, and Soup instructs Ned to fight him. After Norwich incapacitates him momentarily, he joins Soup in a dual fight against Norwich. When Norwich escapes and blocks the lair's entrance, he is trapped along with Soup.

Later, he meets Sister Mary at a local pub and presses her for information about the Personhood, once again asking her to join the P.R.A.T.S. and to start again with him. Once again, she refuses.

Ned is last seen at the fight between the P.R.A.T.S. and the Personhood. His fate is unknown.
