1
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:57,090
Two men standing at the Pearly Gates.

2
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,060
The first man says, "How'd you die?"

3
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:06,140
Second says, "I froze to death.

4
00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:08,310
How 'bout you?"

5
00:01:08,350 --> 00:01:10,400
And the, uh, second man says,

6
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,820
"Well, I thought my... my wife was being unfaithful to me,

7
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:17,570
so I ran all the way home." Come on.

8
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:20,200
"And burst into the bedroom."

9
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,240
There's nothin' here.

10
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,280
- "She just..." - Look over there.

11
00:01:22,330 --> 00:01:23,330
Yes, sir.

12
00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:25,250
Make sure there's men on...

13
00:01:25,290 --> 00:01:26,830
Here!

14
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:28,330
We're here!

15
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:35,460
You take him first.

16
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:36,760
But, captain, he's as good as...

17
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,130
That's an order.

18
00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:39,340
Sergeant.

19
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,010
Hey, watch it. Careful. Corporal!

20
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:46,390
Watch his leg.

21
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:28,430
Victory!

22
00:02:31,810 --> 00:02:34,020
Getting a little ahead of ourselves, don't you think?

23
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:37,190
Will, Lee surrendered to Grant, so have a drink.

24
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,120
Freddie, have you seen him yet?

25
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,240
A dozen rebel armies still in the field.

26
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,650
I'd say peace is far from in hand.

27
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:42,570
Hamilton, you could put frost on a fire.

28
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:44,670
No, I haven't, but half his cabinet's here.

29
00:02:44,670 --> 00:02:45,700
There's Interior...

30
00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:47,700
and Postmaster.

31
00:02:48,910 --> 00:02:50,210
Treasury.

32
00:02:50,250 --> 00:02:51,540
Secretary of Navy.

33
00:02:51,580 --> 00:02:53,250
Where's War?

34
00:02:53,290 --> 00:02:54,750
Ooh, there he is.

35
00:02:55,420 --> 00:02:58,010
God, what I would give to meet him.

36
00:02:58,630 --> 00:03:00,720
What? Wait. Where are you going?

37
00:03:01,430 --> 00:03:02,840
You coming or not?

38
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:04,390
Are you... Are you mad?

39
00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:06,640
You can't approach Edwin Stanton without an introduction.

40
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,930
Really?

41
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:10,730
Frederick Aiken.

42
00:03:10,770 --> 00:03:13,270
I've been to Creation and back lookin' for you.

43
00:03:13,310 --> 00:03:15,440
Senator. Uh, Baker, Hamilton,

44
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,860
allow me to introduce the distinguished senator from Maryland,

45
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:21,200
- Mr. Reverdy Johnson. - Great honor, senator.

46
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,450
Gentlemen, you've done this nation proud.

47
00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:24,780
Thank you, sir.

48
00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:26,160
Ladies. Ladies,

49
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,000
may I present two genuine war heroes.

50
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,250
Now you all get acquainted

51
00:03:31,290 --> 00:03:33,670
while I introduce the counselor to some of my,

52
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:35,380
uh, esteemed associates.

53
00:03:35,420 --> 00:03:36,420
- Ladies. - Hello.

54
00:03:36,460 --> 00:03:37,630
It's, uh, quite a turnout.

55
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:39,630
- Hello. - It's an honor to meet the lovely...

56
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:41,380
Victory is like shit to flies, Freddie.

57
00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:44,470
Why, Ed, what a delightful surprise.

58
00:03:44,510 --> 00:03:47,300
Life's full of them, Reverdy.

59
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:49,970
This is our War secretary, Mr. Edwin Stanton.

60
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:53,060
Yeah. It's a... it's a very great pleasure, sir.

61
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,650
Mr. Aiken had two horses shot from under him

62
00:03:55,690 --> 00:03:57,110
and never quit the field.

63
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,650
Could use a loyal man like you over at the War Department,

64
00:04:02,650 --> 00:04:03,150
Captain.

65
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,150
Sir.

66
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,070
Captain's back to bein' a lawyer.

67
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,970
Time to heal the nation, Ed,

68
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:09,160
not wage more war.

69
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:11,750
Pleasure as always, Senator.

70
00:04:11,790 --> 00:04:14,290
- Captain. - Sir.

71
00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:17,170
I'm sorry you won't be able to meet the president this evening.

72
00:04:17,210 --> 00:04:18,380
Will he not be attending?

73
00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:20,670
It seems Mrs. Lincoln prefers an evening of theater

74
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:23,130
to a room full of soldiers.

75
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:28,510
Anything. I can play anything.

76
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:29,550
Poor Blind Boy?

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,930
I don't know that one. Uh, anything...

78
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:31,970
Oh, thank you, Nicholas.

79
00:04:32,020 --> 00:04:35,640
Sarah... oh, my God. You look beautiful.

80
00:04:35,690 --> 00:04:37,190
Sarah, glad to see you.

81
00:04:37,230 --> 00:04:39,360
Fred didn't mention you'd be joining us this evening.

82
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,480
That sounds like Fred.

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,730
What sounds like Fred?

84
00:04:41,780 --> 00:04:43,360
Nothing you need to worry about.

85
00:04:44,570 --> 00:04:46,200
How many bottles is that now, Nick?

86
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,950
Uh, nothing you need to worry about, Fred.

87
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:50,410
Shall we take a stroll?

88
00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:53,660
It's good to have you boys back.

89
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:55,250
It's good to be back.

90
00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:00,210
It's very good to be back.

91
00:05:08,050 --> 00:05:10,600
Oh, quite right.

92
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,980
Some gals and their mothers would look...

93
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:34,200
Mr. Vice President.

94
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:35,250
Yes, Senator?

95
00:05:35,290 --> 00:05:36,610
I'm sorry to bother you, sir,

96
00:05:36,610 --> 00:05:38,330
but I need your authorization on this.

97
00:05:38,370 --> 00:05:40,500
Is it really necessary right now? I have so many guests.

98
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:41,710
I'm afraid it's relatively urgent.

99
00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:45,170
You have to keep the sun out of your eyes,

100
00:05:45,210 --> 00:05:47,260
look straight, pull strong,

101
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:48,260
calculate the distance,

102
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,510
and you'll hit the mark every time.

103
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:01,860
- What? - Not sure.

104
00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:05,940
Sir?

105
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:08,110
Yes, I have a package for Secretary Seward.

106
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:11,450
We are old friends, Mr. Trenchard,

107
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:13,490
and you needn't be afraid of us.

108
00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:14,950
I ain't afraid of you,

109
00:06:14,990 --> 00:06:17,290
both of you together.

110
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,680
Want another?

111
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:40,310
Sir?

112
00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:52,530
Secretary Stanton is a smart man.

113
00:06:52,570 --> 00:06:55,280
The War Department would be lucky to have you.

114
00:06:55,330 --> 00:06:59,000
It was an honor to meet the man, but...

115
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,750
I'm eager to put the war behind me.

116
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,750
You do look awfully handsome in your uniform.

117
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,050
I suppose I'm going to have to get used to you

118
00:07:13,090 --> 00:07:14,260
in civilian clothing again.

119
00:07:15,930 --> 00:07:18,310
So you did miss me?

120
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,350
On occasion.

121
00:07:28,690 --> 00:07:30,610
Now I've no fortune,

122
00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:32,950
but I am filled over with affection

123
00:07:32,990 --> 00:07:35,620
that I am ready to pour over you

124
00:07:35,660 --> 00:07:39,240
like apple sass over roasted pork.

125
00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:41,290
Mr. Trenchard!

126
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:45,130
You are addressing my daughter, and in my presence!

127
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:46,880
Yes! I'm offering her my heart

128
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800
and my hand just as she wants them,

129
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,210
with nothing in 'em.

130
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,640
Now, I'm aware, Mr. Trenchard,

131
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,930
that you are not used to the manner of polite...

132
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:15,700
Pardon me. I'm sor...

133
00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:25,420
Shit.

134
00:08:31,090 --> 00:08:32,550
- Oh, no! - Hold it!

135
00:08:37,390 --> 00:08:39,220
Stop! No!

136
00:08:39,260 --> 00:08:40,720
No, please! Don't!

137
00:08:44,810 --> 00:08:46,520
Help!

138
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:49,310
Somebody help!

139
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:54,280
Help!

140
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,160
...to which you have fallen guilty.

141
00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:05,210
Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal,

142
00:09:05,250 --> 00:09:08,420
you sockdologizing old man-trap...

143
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,810
Sic semper tyrannis!

144
00:09:24,850 --> 00:09:26,310
The South is avenged!

145
00:09:26,350 --> 00:09:27,480
He's getting away!

146
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,150
Stop him!

147
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:39,160
Come on.

148
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,780
Come here, you son of a bitch!

149
00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:42,410
Can't get... let you out of here!

150
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:53,880
What is it?

151
00:09:55,630 --> 00:09:57,470
- Major? - What's happened?

152
00:09:57,510 --> 00:09:58,510
Lincoln's been shot.

153
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:59,840
- What? - He's been shot.

154
00:09:59,890 --> 00:10:01,390
You stay here.

155
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:04,850
Open the door.

156
00:10:04,890 --> 00:10:06,310
Sergeant.

157
00:10:06,350 --> 00:10:07,350
Stand aside.

158
00:10:07,390 --> 00:10:08,350
Over there.

159
00:10:08,390 --> 00:10:10,230
Across the street.

160
00:10:10,270 --> 00:10:12,110
Make way!

161
00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:13,730
Please, stand aside.

162
00:10:13,770 --> 00:10:14,940
Please.

163
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,490
Move back! Please!

164
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:33,380
- Coming through. - Clear the way!

165
00:10:33,420 --> 00:10:34,960
Back! Stand aside!

166
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,130
Can you see anything?

167
00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:45,310
Open the door!

168
00:10:46,390 --> 00:10:48,060
Try the other door.

169
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:49,730
Find another way!

170
00:10:52,690 --> 00:10:54,230
Stand aside.

171
00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:05,410
Over here!

172
00:11:07,660 --> 00:11:09,040
Come on inside!

173
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,890
Back here. Back here.

174
00:11:29,140 --> 00:11:30,480
Set him down easy.

175
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,020
Where's the doctor?

176
00:11:35,060 --> 00:11:36,270
Get some towels.

177
00:11:43,740 --> 00:11:45,030
Mr. Secretary, wait, sir.

178
00:11:45,070 --> 00:11:47,080
No. I want to see him.

179
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:49,910
Make way!

180
00:11:52,460 --> 00:11:53,870
Out of my way!

181
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,000
Move aside!

182
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,630
Out! Move!

183
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,600
- Where is he? - He's down there, sir.

184
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,720
There, sir.

185
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Excuse me, Mr. Secretary.

186
00:12:19,570 --> 00:12:21,030
Take his pulse.

187
00:12:36,830 --> 00:12:37,940
Mr. Secretary, it was the actor,

188
00:12:37,950 --> 00:12:39,790
John Wilkes Booth.

189
00:12:40,670 --> 00:12:42,340
Are you certain?

190
00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:44,170
They've performed with him many times. They're positive.

191
00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:49,470
We haven't done anything wrong. It's gonna be all right.

192
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:54,350
Well, one man did not orchestrate all of this on his own.

193
00:12:54,390 --> 00:12:55,390
Where's Grant?

194
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,690
He's on a train to Philadelphia.

195
00:12:56,730 --> 00:12:58,230
Bring him to me.

196
00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:00,480
I want the commander of the Union army here.

197
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,520
- Move. - Yes, sir.

198
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:03,490
Put the forts on alert, all guns manned.

199
00:13:03,530 --> 00:13:04,680
And find out which members

200
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,490
of the Cabinet are still unaccounted for.

201
00:13:06,530 --> 00:13:09,700
Sir, we should move to the War Department to facilitate operations.

202
00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:13,910
- I'm not leaving him. - Yes, sir.

203
00:13:18,210 --> 00:13:19,210
Damn the rebels.

204
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:21,170
Damn them all to hell.

205
00:13:21,210 --> 00:13:22,250
Mr. Secretary, sir.

206
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:23,960
Several names have come up, sir,

207
00:13:24,010 --> 00:13:25,380
including an intimate of Booth's,

208
00:13:25,420 --> 00:13:26,420
a John Surratt.

209
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:27,800
What is known of him?

210
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,220
21 years old, lives here.

211
00:13:29,260 --> 00:13:31,350
His mother runs a boarding house in town.

212
00:13:31,390 --> 00:13:32,390
Find him.

213
00:13:32,430 --> 00:13:33,890
I want the city closed.

214
00:13:33,930 --> 00:13:35,010
If any of these assassins get

215
00:13:35,010 --> 00:13:37,020
south of the Potomac or up into Canada,

216
00:13:37,060 --> 00:13:38,190
they will never be found.

217
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:39,480
Right away, sir.

218
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,610
Also the vice president wishes to pay his respects.

219
00:13:41,650 --> 00:13:44,360
When I say it is safe for him to do so.

220
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,030
And keep him away from the liquor.

221
00:13:46,070 --> 00:13:47,070
Yes, sir.

222
00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:52,580
Take that woman out, and do not let her in again.

223
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,390

224
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,890

225
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:09,890

226
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:13,390
Let's go.

227
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:15,470
It wasn't me. It wasn't me.

228
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:19,350
Move it!

229
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,560
Get up, you!

230
00:14:21,610 --> 00:14:23,020
No!

231
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:24,890

232
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:38,890

233
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:46,890

234
00:14:46,890 --> 00:14:51,890

235
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,850
Booth.

236
00:15:57,890 --> 00:16:01,690

237
00:16:01,890 --> 00:16:05,690

238
00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:08,890

239
00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:11,890

240
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,570
That's for the judge to decide.

241
00:16:38,410 --> 00:16:39,370
Sir.

242
00:16:39,410 --> 00:16:42,040
Well, nice of you to show, Mr. Aiken.

243
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,040
I'm sorry for being late, Senator.

244
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,380
You aware the trial of the conspirators begins today?

245
00:16:47,420 --> 00:16:49,340
Yes, sir. There's not a seat to be had.

246
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:51,250
Well, now you have one.

247
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:52,960
How's that, sir?

248
00:16:53,340 --> 00:16:54,510
I've taken one of the cases,

249
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:56,840
and I want you to be my second chair.

250
00:16:56,890 --> 00:16:59,850
I thought the government was planning a military tribunal.

251
00:16:59,890 --> 00:17:01,510
Oh, indeed. Stanton has chosen

252
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,190
nine of his most loyal officers to be judges, all for Union.

253
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:07,480
In fact, he's picked one of

254
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,560
Lincoln's pallbearers to head the Commission.

255
00:17:09,610 --> 00:17:10,860
Uh, let's go.

256
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:12,190
Uh, I'm sorry, sir.

257
00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:14,240
I might be being a little slow,

258
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,740
but won't the War Department

259
00:17:15,780 --> 00:17:17,160
be handling the prosecution?

260
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,410
Stanton's most trusted judge advocate general,

261
00:17:20,450 --> 00:17:22,410
Joseph Holt, will be in charge.

262
00:17:22,450 --> 00:17:24,120
Then what are we to do?

263
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,080
Defend one of the eight.

264
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:29,420
Defend one of the assassins?

265
00:17:29,460 --> 00:17:32,090
Alleged assassins, counselor.

266
00:17:32,130 --> 00:17:34,590
I had a letter from the lady this morning.

267
00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:35,340
She runs a boarding house,

268
00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:36,760
a Mrs. Mary...

269
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:37,800
Surratt?

270
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,930
Yes, that's it.

271
00:17:38,970 --> 00:17:40,930
Sir, her son John was Booth's right hand.

272
00:17:41,970 --> 00:17:45,220
Well, if they suspect her son, they should try him.

273
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:47,600
They would if they could find him,

274
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,270
but they've got 250 agents out looking for him.

275
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:53,440
She built the nest that hatched this plot.

276
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,740
President Johnson said it himself.

277
00:17:55,780 --> 00:17:58,570
Well, I know this goes hard with you, Freddie,

278
00:17:58,610 --> 00:17:59,910
but... but what they're plannin',

279
00:17:59,950 --> 00:18:02,580
which is a military trial of civilians,

280
00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:03,620
is an atrocity.

281
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:05,750
No, no. What she did is an atrocity.

282
00:18:05,790 --> 00:18:07,080
There's no presumption of innocence,

283
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:08,010
no burden of proof,

284
00:18:08,010 --> 00:18:10,040
no jury of your peers and no appeal.

285
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,420
All right, you were one of Lincoln's pallbearers, too.

286
00:18:12,460 --> 00:18:14,130
How can you represent her?

287
00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:16,630
She's entitled to a defense, Freddie,

288
00:18:16,670 --> 00:18:18,340
so I shall defend her.

289
00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:59,630
Mary E. Surratt,

290
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,640
in aid of the existing armed rebellion against the United States,

291
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,740
you are charged with having received, entertained,

292
00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:10,180
harbored, concealed, aided and assisted John Wilkes Booth,

293
00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:13,020
John A. Surratt and their confederates...

294
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:16,190
David E. Herold...

295
00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:18,860
Lewis Payne...

296
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:23,160
George A. Atzerodt...

297
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,200
Michael O'Laughlen...

298
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,700
Edmund Spangler...

299
00:19:30,910 --> 00:19:33,880
Samuel A. Mudd...

300
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,590
and Samuel Arnold...

301
00:19:35,630 --> 00:19:37,410
in traitorous and murderous conspiracy to

302
00:19:37,410 --> 00:19:40,720
kill then-President Abraham Lincoln,

303
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,510
Vice President Andrew Johnson

304
00:19:42,550 --> 00:19:46,010
and Secretary of State William Seward.

305
00:19:46,050 --> 00:19:50,060
Pursuant to special orders number 211 and 216,

306
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:51,980
how do you plead?

307
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:56,400
What say you, madam?

308
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,270
Guilty or not?

309
00:20:01,650 --> 00:20:03,070
I am innocent.

310
00:20:05,660 --> 00:20:08,280
In that case, as each of the defendants

311
00:20:08,330 --> 00:20:10,950
has entered a not-guilty plea, we will begin.

312
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,910
Judge Advocate Holt, please proceed.

313
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,130
Just a moment, Your Honor.

314
00:20:16,170 --> 00:20:18,540
What is it, Senator?

315
00:20:18,590 --> 00:20:20,550
I... I wish to request an adjournment.

316
00:20:20,590 --> 00:20:23,550
An adjournment? We just got here.

317
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:26,680
My client has been in custody for a month,

318
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,260
wasn't allowed to contact counsel until yesterday.

319
00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:31,060
General Hunter,

320
00:20:31,060 --> 00:20:34,560
a delay will only serve to prolong the nation's sorrow.

321
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,770
My learned colleague,

322
00:20:35,810 --> 00:20:38,110
you've had over four weeks to prepare your case,

323
00:20:38,150 --> 00:20:40,440
no doubt assisted by the entire War Department.

324
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,780
I believe the defendant is entitled to equal consideration.

325
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:45,780
Senator Johnson,

326
00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:49,450
our fellow citizens must be permitted to put this tragedy to rest.

327
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:51,420
The sooner we dispose of this matter,

328
00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:52,450
the better... for everyone.

329
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:54,620
Everyone but my client.

330
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:59,290
Judge Advocate Holt, please proceed.

331
00:20:59,340 --> 00:21:01,710
In that case, I move for termination.

332
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,010
Termination?

333
00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:05,840
On the grounds this trial is unconstitutional.

334
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,720
The defendant is a civilian

335
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,470
entitled to a public trial before a jury of her peers.

336
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,160
The attorney general has

337
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,100
affirmed the legitimacy of this proceeding.

338
00:21:16,140 --> 00:21:18,560
Has he furnished a verdict as well?

339
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:21,610
Senator.

340
00:21:21,650 --> 00:21:25,110
You will mind the horror which summons us.

341
00:21:26,150 --> 00:21:27,490
Indeed.

342
00:21:27,530 --> 00:21:30,320
We all mourn the loss of our leader,

343
00:21:30,370 --> 00:21:31,600
but in our grief,

344
00:21:31,610 --> 00:21:34,080
let us not betray our better judgment

345
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:36,500
and partake in an inquisition.

346
00:21:36,540 --> 00:21:38,540
Inquisition? How dare you?

347
00:21:38,580 --> 00:21:41,380
Sounds to me like we have the enemy among us.

348
00:21:41,420 --> 00:21:45,090
Maryland not being among our most loyal of states during the war,

349
00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:48,180
its senator ought to certify his allegiance to this court.

350
00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:51,180
I have served this nation as its attorney general.

351
00:21:51,220 --> 00:21:52,510
That is certification enough.

352
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,680
Nevertheless, we may require counsel

353
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:57,850
to sign this oath of loyalty

354
00:21:57,890 --> 00:21:59,650
as prescribed by Congress.

355
00:21:59,690 --> 00:22:02,190
I am a member of Congress,

356
00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:04,860
the same body that creates armies,

357
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:07,610
authorizes military tribunals

358
00:22:07,650 --> 00:22:10,530
and makes major generals like you.

359
00:22:10,570 --> 00:22:14,160
Our authorization comes from the War secretary, Edwin Stanton,

360
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,160
and by order of the president.

361
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,580
If our founding fathers had desired tyranny to prevail,

362
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:23,170
the president and his War secretary

363
00:22:23,210 --> 00:22:25,710
would have been granted such indiscriminate powers,

364
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,720
but they drafted a Constitution

365
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,050
with laws against such powers.

366
00:22:30,090 --> 00:22:33,930
They did so precisely for times like this.

367
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:44,360
Order! Order! Order!

368
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,440
I really want you to do this for me, Freddie.

369
00:22:47,490 --> 00:22:48,570
You're not serious.

370
00:22:48,610 --> 00:22:51,110
As serious as the charges against our client.

371
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,780
Me? Defend her?

372
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,580
She doesn't stand a chance

373
00:23:00,620 --> 00:23:02,920
with an old Southerner like me defending her.

374
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,920
She needs a Yankee captain like you.

375
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,130
I'm sorry, sir. I... I can't do it.

376
00:23:07,170 --> 00:23:08,760
No, you'll do fine, son.

377
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,970
Experience matters for nothing

378
00:23:10,010 --> 00:23:12,390
when they're making up the rules as they go along.

379
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,970
Besides, this government has never executed a woman.

380
00:23:16,010 --> 00:23:18,970
They've never considered a woman, nor a man for that matter,

381
00:23:19,020 --> 00:23:21,350
capable of murdering the president.

382
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,310
Sir, I can find you a rebel to defend her,

383
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,270
but I ca... I won't do it.

384
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,230
There is no court in the Union

385
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,360
that would fairly judge that

386
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:30,990
woman with a Confederate counsel.

387
00:23:31,030 --> 00:23:32,660
I won't betray my country.

388
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:35,070
I won't betray my friends who died defending it.

389
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:38,080
I'm not asking you to betray your allegiances, Freddie.

390
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,660
I'm simply askin' you... rather tellin' you...

391
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:45,130
to obey your oath as a... as an attorney and do your job.

392
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,130
He wants me to represent Mary Surratt.

393
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:54,010
What?

394
00:23:58,140 --> 00:23:59,720
- What? - Yeah.

395
00:23:59,770 --> 00:24:01,520
He can't be serious.

396
00:24:33,050 --> 00:24:35,380
They're the actors from the theater.

397
00:25:14,670 --> 00:25:15,720
Open up.

398
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:22,430
Thank you, soldier.

399
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:24,060
That'll be all.

400
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:34,400
This conversation is privileged.

401
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,030
Sorry, sir. Orders.

402
00:25:37,070 --> 00:25:39,280
Where is Senator Johnson?

403
00:25:40,530 --> 00:25:43,490
The senator has instructed me to handle your case.

404
00:25:45,750 --> 00:25:47,710
You understand what you've been charged with?

405
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:50,710
Conspiring to murder the president,

406
00:25:50,750 --> 00:25:54,130
secretary of State and the vice president...

407
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:58,090
if found guilty, you could hang?

408
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,720
No disrespect, Mr...

409
00:26:05,140 --> 00:26:06,390
Aiken.

410
00:26:06,430 --> 00:26:08,060
Mr. Aiken.

411
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,190
How many years have you?

412
00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:13,400
27.

413
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,360
So you've handled cases like this before?

414
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,570
There's never been a case like this before.

415
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:20,410
But you have defended others.

416
00:26:25,410 --> 00:26:28,120
They've left nothing to chance.

417
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,250
Very well.

418
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,210
You own a boarding house on 541 H Street?

419
00:26:34,250 --> 00:26:35,250
Is that correct?

420
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:36,510
Yes.

421
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,840
How long you been there?

422
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,800
Ma'am?

423
00:26:43,930 --> 00:26:46,770
All I know about you is what I read in the papers.

424
00:26:46,810 --> 00:26:47,850
It's not flattering.

425
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,610
I moved to Washington a year ago

426
00:26:53,650 --> 00:26:56,610
with my son and daughter after my husband passed.

427
00:26:56,650 --> 00:27:00,570
And the assassins were frequent visitors to your home.

428
00:27:00,610 --> 00:27:02,870
Yes.

429
00:27:02,910 --> 00:27:04,120
Well, you... heh.

430
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,780
You don't even deny having been acquainted

431
00:27:05,830 --> 00:27:07,870
with John Wilkes Booth and the others behind bars?

432
00:27:07,910 --> 00:27:09,830
No, sir, I do not.

433
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:16,550
My husband died a drunk, Mr. Aiken,

434
00:27:16,590 --> 00:27:18,380
and left me loads of debt.

435
00:27:18,420 --> 00:27:19,820
I had to support my family,

436
00:27:19,820 --> 00:27:22,090
so I rented rooms to boarders.

437
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:23,970
Those men were customers, nothing more.

438
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:26,390
And you never considered their allegiances?

439
00:27:26,430 --> 00:27:28,890
I didn't ask about their allegiances.

440
00:27:28,930 --> 00:27:30,730
What about yours, ma'am?

441
00:27:30,770 --> 00:27:32,980
I am a Southerner.

442
00:27:33,020 --> 00:27:35,310
I'm a Catholic

443
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,780
and a devoted mother above all else...

444
00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:41,490
but I am no assassin.

445
00:27:41,530 --> 00:27:45,120
Your freedom is gonna require greater assurances than that.

446
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,830
Then you tell me what I should say to those generals.

447
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,500
Oh, you can't say a thing.

448
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:58,340
You're prohibited from testifying in your own defense.

449
00:27:58,380 --> 00:28:01,010
Perhaps your son could speak for you.

450
00:28:01,050 --> 00:28:02,680
Any idea where he's hiding?

451
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,970
No, I don't.

452
00:28:05,970 --> 00:28:09,930
All right. Is there anyone who will give your version of events?

453
00:28:09,970 --> 00:28:11,850
You mean the truth?

454
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:13,180
Well, obviously the government

455
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:14,850
believes your version is not the truth.

456
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:16,440
Based on what?

457
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,520
They're not releasing their list of witnesses

458
00:28:18,570 --> 00:28:20,650
or the evidence they'll use against you.

459
00:28:20,690 --> 00:28:22,320
And can they do that?

460
00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:23,650
This kind of proceeding,

461
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,700
they can do to you whatever they want.

462
00:28:25,740 --> 00:28:27,530
Well, then what difference does it make?

463
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:29,410
Those generals have made up their minds.

464
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:34,210
I can tell by the way they look at me.

465
00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:36,000
The way they look at you?

466
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,880
Just the same way you're looking at me.

467
00:28:42,260 --> 00:28:44,050
I have to go.

468
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:49,430
Good day.

469
00:28:49,930 --> 00:28:53,140
Mr. Aiken, I haven't a word from my daughter since I've been here.

470
00:28:53,180 --> 00:28:56,230
Would you look in on her for me?

471
00:28:56,270 --> 00:28:57,690
I'd be most grateful.

472
00:28:58,770 --> 00:29:00,230
Thank you.

473
00:29:25,260 --> 00:29:26,680
Soldier.

474
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,760
Frederick Aiken, lawyer to Mary Surratt.

475
00:30:10,010 --> 00:30:10,970
It's perfect.

476
00:30:11,010 --> 00:30:12,050
Pardon?

477
00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:16,100
Anna Surratt?

478
00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:17,810
My name is Frederick Aiken.

479
00:30:17,850 --> 00:30:19,310
I'm representing your mother.

480
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:22,060
What's perfect?

481
00:30:23,270 --> 00:30:24,780
Uh, nothing.

482
00:30:24,820 --> 00:30:27,360
No, do tell.

483
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,570
I'm sure I've heard much worse.

484
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:32,540
Well, I was just thinking that this would be

485
00:30:32,540 --> 00:30:35,660
the perfect place to conspire to overthrow the government.

486
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:37,750
No one would ever suspect.

487
00:30:39,370 --> 00:30:40,870
Right?

488
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:42,960
You alone here?

489
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,340
Yes.

490
00:30:45,380 --> 00:30:48,380
Why? Are you afraid to be seen with me?

491
00:30:49,970 --> 00:30:52,720
Your mother asked that I look in on you.

492
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,060
Please tell her not to worry,

493
00:30:57,060 --> 00:30:59,640
since I'm a prisoner in my own house.

494
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Where's your brother's room?

495
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,310
Second floor, on the left.

496
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:27,560
Did you find what you were looking for?

497
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,400
Uh, yes.

498
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,400
Did your brother share a room with an L.J. W?

499
00:32:34,450 --> 00:32:36,160
Louis J. Weichmann.

500
00:32:37,370 --> 00:32:38,720
He was like a son to my mother.

501
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,080
He'll swear she's innocent.

502
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,540
I suppose he's disappeared, too.

503
00:32:44,370 --> 00:32:47,460
Did you fight in the war, Mr. Aiken?

504
00:32:49,460 --> 00:32:52,670
Kill any on our side?

505
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,180
Miss, do you have any documents

506
00:32:56,220 --> 00:32:59,220
indicating who stayed here or a ledger of accounts?

507
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,270
Do you want me to help your mother or not?

508
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,620
Is there anything else you're concealing?

509
00:33:20,660 --> 00:33:21,740
Such as?

510
00:33:21,790 --> 00:33:23,450
Your brother, to start. Look, if you know...

511
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,800
Did you see who threw that?

512
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:36,880
No, sir.

513
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,100
Are you hurt?

514
00:33:44,140 --> 00:33:45,350
I'm fine.

515
00:33:47,650 --> 00:33:50,520
Mr. Aiken, if you have no further need of me...

516
00:34:19,590 --> 00:34:22,850
Here. I'll give you two to sell.

517
00:34:22,890 --> 00:34:24,930
You have the latest on this one?

518
00:34:24,970 --> 00:34:26,270
That, I'll take two.

519
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,140
Cigars! Jars!

520
00:34:29,190 --> 00:34:31,150
Picture frames!

521
00:34:31,190 --> 00:34:32,810
Original, right here, ma'am.

522
00:34:32,860 --> 00:34:35,280
Who wants a cigar?

523
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,030
Fresh roasted nuts here.

524
00:34:37,070 --> 00:34:38,280
Fresh roasted nuts.

525
00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:52,080
Move along. Mustn't keep it blocked.

526
00:34:52,130 --> 00:34:53,420
Thank you very much.

527
00:34:53,460 --> 00:34:54,500
Left.

528
00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:56,000
Left, right, left.

529
00:34:56,050 --> 00:34:57,380
- Cigars! - Left...

530
00:35:00,510 --> 00:35:01,590
Cigars!

531
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,260
Left. Left. Left.

532
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:06,180
Left, right, left.

533
00:35:06,220 --> 00:35:07,810
Left...

534
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:11,390
Company, arms rest.

535
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,270
- March. - Shoulder arms.

536
00:35:13,310 --> 00:35:15,610
Quick step.

537
00:35:15,650 --> 00:35:18,030
Left.

538
00:35:18,070 --> 00:35:19,280
Left, right, left.

539
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,570
A chance to get it back?

540
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:28,620
There he is.

541
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:30,040
Fred.

542
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,670
Hamilton here has offered to be your second chair.

543
00:35:32,710 --> 00:35:34,710
Oh. Re... Not a chance in hell.

544
00:35:34,750 --> 00:35:36,290
- No? You sure? - Oh, yeah.

545
00:35:36,340 --> 00:35:37,670
I'll carry his briefcase, but I'm not...

546
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:43,970
- Sarah. - Fred.

547
00:35:44,010 --> 00:35:45,350
Why are you here?

548
00:35:45,970 --> 00:35:48,270
I'm trying to understand why you're here.

549
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,900
I suppose I should wish you luck.

550
00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:06,280
Come to order.

551
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,790
How is Anna, Mr. Aiken?

552
00:36:09,830 --> 00:36:10,870
She's fine...

553
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,620
Looking forward to when you come home.

554
00:36:18,050 --> 00:36:21,380
That's very nice of you to say, Mr. Aiken.

555
00:36:21,420 --> 00:36:25,300
Judge Advocate Holt, will you please proceed?

556
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:28,310
In the matter of Mary Surratt,

557
00:36:28,350 --> 00:36:31,770
the prosecution calls as its first witness Mr. Louis Weichmann.

558
00:36:44,110 --> 00:36:45,430
I thought he was like family.

559
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,160
Why are they calling him?

560
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,200
Place your right hand on this Bible.

561
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:48,200
I don't know.

562
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:49,360
Do you swear to tell the truth,

563
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,340
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,

564
00:36:51,340 --> 00:36:52,330
so help you, God?

565
00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:53,370
I do.

566
00:36:53,410 --> 00:36:54,410
Please.

567
00:36:57,670 --> 00:37:00,880
Are you acquainted with the defendant, Mary Surratt?

568
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,920
Yes. Yes, I am.

569
00:37:02,970 --> 00:37:05,720
I attended Divinity College with her son John.

570
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,550
And until recently, you resided at the boarding house

571
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,430
owned by Mary Surratt. Is that correct?

572
00:37:10,470 --> 00:37:12,270
That is correct, sir.

573
00:37:13,980 --> 00:37:17,980
Were any of these men ever present in her home?

574
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:19,310
Yes, sir.

575
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,110
These three over there

576
00:37:21,150 --> 00:37:24,240
on several occasions.

577
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,240
Let the record reflect that the witness has identified

578
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,790
the prisoners Herold, Payne and Atzerodt.

579
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,290
And who invited these men?

580
00:37:37,330 --> 00:37:38,580
John Surratt.

581
00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:39,670
Objection.

582
00:37:39,710 --> 00:37:41,880
Objection?

583
00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:46,680
There's no way to prove that John Surratt

584
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:48,970
even knew these men, let alone invited them.

585
00:37:50,430 --> 00:37:52,560
Mr. Surratt's absence from this proceeding

586
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,100
is Mr. Surratt's problem.

587
00:37:55,140 --> 00:37:57,350
Objection overruled. Continue, Mr. Holt.

588
00:37:59,690 --> 00:38:03,940
Was John Wilkes Booth also a frequent guest of John Surratt?

589
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:06,240
Indeed, but all the Surratts adored him...

590
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,860
John, his sister Anna and their mother, too.

591
00:38:08,910 --> 00:38:10,530
And were there ever meetings

592
00:38:10,570 --> 00:38:13,290
held at the boarding house involving Mr. Booth?

593
00:38:13,330 --> 00:38:17,080
Many, sometimes lasting two, three hours

594
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,870
and always in secret, behind closed doors.

595
00:38:21,540 --> 00:38:23,840
And did you ever see Mary Surratt

596
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,050
object to these, uh, meetings?

597
00:38:26,090 --> 00:38:27,470
No, sir.

598
00:38:27,510 --> 00:38:30,390
Or to the presence of those men?

599
00:38:30,430 --> 00:38:31,470
No, she did not.

600
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:35,640
- Thank you. - She appeared to welcome them.

601
00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:38,850
Thank you. That'll be all, Mr. Weichmann.

602
00:39:09,430 --> 00:39:14,350
How long did you say these secret meetings lasted?

603
00:39:14,390 --> 00:39:17,640
At least two, three hours.

604
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,180
You were timing them?

605
00:39:21,020 --> 00:39:22,980
Eh, if you were timing them,

606
00:39:23,020 --> 00:39:25,320
I suppose these secret meetings

607
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,980
were not, in fact, kept secret from you.

608
00:39:28,030 --> 00:39:29,240
I knew about them, sir,

609
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,740
but I had no knowledge of what they were about.

610
00:39:31,780 --> 00:39:35,370
And that is because you never attended any yourself, correct?

611
00:39:35,410 --> 00:39:37,200
Exactly.

612
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:40,710
Why was that?

613
00:39:40,750 --> 00:39:42,790
I thought them suspicious.

614
00:39:42,830 --> 00:39:44,210
Suspicious?

615
00:39:44,250 --> 00:39:47,130
Well, then, you see, you did know what they were about.

616
00:39:47,170 --> 00:39:50,090
No, sir, I did not.

617
00:39:51,260 --> 00:39:54,090
Then why were your suspicions aroused?

618
00:39:54,140 --> 00:39:55,720
By the snatches of rebel conversation

619
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,440
I overheard in the hallways

620
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,720
and by their frequent whisperings.

621
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,600
Well, in that case, if it was of such great concern to you,

622
00:40:02,650 --> 00:40:03,990
why did you not report your

623
00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:06,520
suspicions to your superiors at the War Department?

624
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:07,980
I did.

625
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:09,030
Excuse me?

626
00:40:09,070 --> 00:40:10,360
I did reveal my suspicions.

627
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,780
I made a confidant of Captain Gleason in the War Department.

628
00:40:23,330 --> 00:40:25,580
Mr. Aiken, if there's nothing else...

629
00:40:28,250 --> 00:40:30,460
Counselor, will that be all?

630
00:40:31,630 --> 00:40:32,630
Uh, yes.

631
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,090
Uh, no.

632
00:40:35,590 --> 00:40:38,260
No. No, I do have something else.

633
00:40:41,930 --> 00:40:44,980
Tell me, Mr. Weichmann. Tell us all.

634
00:40:45,730 --> 00:40:47,440
- You ever been in Richmond? - Objection.

635
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,270
I merely wish to know if the witness

636
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,650
has ever visited the capital of the Confederacy.

637
00:40:51,690 --> 00:40:53,570
I don't recall.

638
00:40:53,610 --> 00:40:57,030
Then perhaps this train receipt will refresh your memory.

639
00:40:57,070 --> 00:40:58,910
It indicates passage to Richmond,

640
00:40:58,950 --> 00:41:01,830
and it has your initials on it.

641
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,790
Yes.

642
00:41:04,830 --> 00:41:05,870
That's right.

643
00:41:07,330 --> 00:41:11,500
I considered continuing my divinity studies there after the war.

644
00:41:11,550 --> 00:41:13,510
I plan on becoming a priest.

645
00:41:13,550 --> 00:41:14,760
That's very nice.

646
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,760
Do you recall, Mr. Weichmann,

647
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,680
at which institute in Richmond you were thinking of enrolling?

648
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:21,720
The name?

649
00:41:21,770 --> 00:41:23,100
Yes, Mr. Weichmann, the name.

650
00:41:24,270 --> 00:41:25,980
- There is no academy of the kind... - Objection.

651
00:41:26,020 --> 00:41:27,400
...in Richmond, is there, Mr. Weichmann?

652
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,840
In fact, perhaps you visited Richmond...

653
00:41:28,850 --> 00:41:29,270
Objection, General.

654
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,610
...for another purpose entirely.

655
00:41:30,650 --> 00:41:31,820
Objection sustained.

656
00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:36,670
You worked for the general

657
00:41:36,670 --> 00:41:37,660
in charge of rebel prisoners, did you not?

658
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:38,820
Yes.

659
00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:39,910
So?

660
00:41:39,950 --> 00:41:41,450
Perhaps a distinguished

661
00:41:41,450 --> 00:41:44,370
clerk like yourself knew certain information.

662
00:41:44,410 --> 00:41:45,910
What sort of information?

663
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,790
Information that might have been of divine interest

664
00:41:48,830 --> 00:41:51,340
to certain rebels within the capital of the Confederacy.

665
00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:52,380
Objection, General.

666
00:41:52,420 --> 00:41:54,260
The witness is not on trial here.

667
00:41:54,300 --> 00:41:55,840
Well, he ought to be!

668
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:57,930
Objection sustained.

669
00:41:57,970 --> 00:41:59,550
The witness is not on trial.

670
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,890
Sir, I am merely trying to establish the witness' credibility

671
00:42:02,930 --> 00:42:05,850
or rather the lack of credibility of this man.

672
00:42:05,890 --> 00:42:08,980
Mr. Aiken, you are incriminating the witness.

673
00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:10,190
Incriminating? Sir,

674
00:42:10,230 --> 00:42:12,860
Louis Weichmann shared a room with John Surratt.

675
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:15,490
I have a ticket that puts him in Richmond.

676
00:42:15,530 --> 00:42:17,240
I think it reasonable to assume

677
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,950
that he knows more about this plot to assassinate our president

678
00:42:19,990 --> 00:42:21,530
than he supposedly reported.

679
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:23,990
What Mr. Aiken thinks is entirely immaterial.

680
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,660
Counselor, unless you have something more relevant to ask,

681
00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:29,330
the witness will step down.

682
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:30,500
No.

683
00:42:30,540 --> 00:42:34,710
No, I have nothing more... relevant to ask.

684
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:55,190
You never... you never ask a question

685
00:42:55,230 --> 00:42:56,190
you don't know the answer to.

686
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:57,400
I know. I know.

687
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,510
How... How did you know Weichmann

688
00:42:58,510 --> 00:43:00,320
was lying about Richmond, Fred?

689
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:01,990
- I didn't. - You didn't?

690
00:43:03,530 --> 00:43:05,120
S-so you gambled twice?

691
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,040
How did you pass the bar?

692
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,160
Well, well, it worked.

693
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:12,540
I mean, Fred made Weichmann look as guilty as the others.

694
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:14,250
- It was perfect. - You're right.

695
00:43:15,130 --> 00:43:17,090
And that's the problem.

696
00:43:18,220 --> 00:43:19,590
They all look guilty.

697
00:43:19,630 --> 00:43:20,760
Freddie, I'm sorry.

698
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,010
First the senator drops your client like a load,

699
00:43:23,050 --> 00:43:25,430
and then with all these secret meetings taking place,

700
00:43:26,180 --> 00:43:27,470
either she knew what was going on...

701
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,770
Or she damn well should have known.

702
00:43:36,650 --> 00:43:38,190
Senator?

703
00:43:38,690 --> 00:43:39,940
In here.

704
00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:50,580
I think she's as guilty as Booth.

705
00:43:50,620 --> 00:43:52,620
How could I possibly defend her?

706
00:43:54,290 --> 00:43:57,750
You assume that she's guilty, like the Commission.

707
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,420
You don't have any proof.

708
00:43:59,470 --> 00:44:00,630
Proof or no,

709
00:44:01,510 --> 00:44:03,300
don't give a damn what happens to her.

710
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,970
I tell you what.

711
00:44:09,020 --> 00:44:12,020
If you can prove that she's guilty,

712
00:44:12,060 --> 00:44:14,350
you can take yourself off the case.

713
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,020
Thank you, sir.

714
00:44:16,070 --> 00:44:18,730
You think it'll be that easy?

715
00:44:18,780 --> 00:44:20,190
I know it.

716
00:44:31,580 --> 00:44:32,870
Pardon me, Father.

717
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,170
I wish to confer with the prisoner.

718
00:44:35,210 --> 00:44:38,000
Alone, if you don't mind.

719
00:44:39,090 --> 00:44:40,840
It's... It's quite all right, Mary.

720
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,510
I... I must be going anyway.

721
00:44:42,550 --> 00:44:45,180
All right. Well, thank you for visiting, Father.

722
00:44:45,220 --> 00:44:47,140
I'll see you soon.

723
00:44:47,180 --> 00:44:49,560
Your words were most comforting.

724
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:50,970
The Lord's with you.

725
00:44:58,730 --> 00:45:01,900
She's refusing to eat.

726
00:45:01,940 --> 00:45:05,150
I've tried to convince her to no avail.

727
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,030
Perhaps you could help her.

728
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,000
"Search me, and know my heart.

729
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:21,130

730
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,000
Try me, and know my thoughts.

731
00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:21,130
And see if there be any wicked way in me."

732
00:45:25,050 --> 00:45:27,010
"The Lord knows the way of the wicked.

733
00:45:25,050 --> 00:45:28,800

734
00:45:27,050 --> 00:45:28,800
And the way of the wicked will perish."

735
00:45:28,850 --> 00:45:31,180
You know your Proverbs, young man.

736
00:45:32,220 --> 00:45:33,680
My father was a minister.

737
00:45:33,730 --> 00:45:35,640
He taught them to me as a child.

738
00:45:39,230 --> 00:45:43,070
So, what is it you wish to know?

739
00:45:43,110 --> 00:45:46,240
Why Booth and his associates were constants in your home.

740
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,780
I ran a boarding house, Mr. Aiken.

741
00:45:48,820 --> 00:45:52,120
Forgive me if I chose to fill it with boarders.

742
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,830
I checked your registry, ma'am.

743
00:45:53,870 --> 00:45:56,580
There's no record Booth ever stayed at your home.

744
00:45:56,620 --> 00:45:57,880
No, the fact is he stayed

745
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,250
at the National whenever he came to Washington,

746
00:46:00,290 --> 00:46:03,250
so why was Booth in your home?

747
00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:06,590
I suppose my son invited him. They were friends.

748
00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:08,800
Famous actor like Booth?

749
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,850
Engaging your son out of friendship?

750
00:46:10,890 --> 00:46:14,220
Mr. Aiken, my son is no less a gentleman than you

751
00:46:14,270 --> 00:46:17,730
and very capable of forming acquaintances in society.

752
00:46:17,770 --> 00:46:20,980
I've... I've read all about your family's acquaintances, ma'am,

753
00:46:21,020 --> 00:46:25,990
about how your late husband contributed to the Confederate cause

754
00:46:26,030 --> 00:46:27,860
and about your Gentleman Johnny.

755
00:46:27,910 --> 00:46:29,780
What about him?

756
00:46:29,820 --> 00:46:31,450
He made quite a sum as a

757
00:46:31,450 --> 00:46:34,830
courier carrying rebel secrets across Union lines.

758
00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:38,190
Oh, I'm well aware of what your family's capable of,

759
00:46:38,190 --> 00:46:39,290
Mrs. Surratt,

760
00:46:39,330 --> 00:46:43,130
so I know you're not telling me the truth.

761
00:46:43,170 --> 00:46:45,590
Well, then you know what I do not.

762
00:46:45,630 --> 00:46:47,880
You were despondent over losing the war,

763
00:46:47,930 --> 00:46:50,890
and you would have done anything you could to save the Confederacy,

764
00:46:50,930 --> 00:46:52,430
including using your own son John.

765
00:46:52,470 --> 00:46:53,680
Honestly, Mr. Aiken.

766
00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:55,970
So you arranged a meeting with Booth,

767
00:46:56,020 --> 00:46:58,100
figuring he'd befriend your son because of what he knew,

768
00:46:58,140 --> 00:46:59,560
what expert couriers do know.

769
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,980
And what might that be?

770
00:47:02,020 --> 00:47:04,150
The best escape routes out of town.

771
00:47:05,860 --> 00:47:07,130
Your son was supposed to lead

772
00:47:07,140 --> 00:47:09,070
the others to freedom that night, wasn't he?

773
00:47:09,110 --> 00:47:11,200
Except he was the only one that got away.

774
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,370
My son was in Canada that day.

775
00:47:14,410 --> 00:47:15,700
Can you prove that?

776
00:47:15,740 --> 00:47:18,620
I received a letter on April 14,

777
00:47:18,660 --> 00:47:22,080
same day as the assassination,

778
00:47:22,130 --> 00:47:23,840
sent from Montreal.

779
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,880
Where is this letter?

780
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,510
I don't know.

781
00:47:27,550 --> 00:47:29,340
I'm done,

782
00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:30,680
done defending your lies.

783
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:33,010
You're so blind with hatred, Mr. Aiken,

784
00:47:33,050 --> 00:47:34,430
you can't even see the truth.

785
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:38,100
Yes, my son hated the North. We all did.

786
00:47:38,140 --> 00:47:39,580
How can a Southerner feel anything

787
00:47:39,580 --> 00:47:41,940
anything but bitterness toward your side?

788
00:47:41,980 --> 00:47:44,940
But my son did not conspire to kill your president.

789
00:47:45,820 --> 00:47:47,480
He conspired to kidnap him.

790
00:47:54,830 --> 00:47:58,200
All right, here he comes.

791
00:47:58,250 --> 00:48:00,120
Ready your mount.

792
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,790
Surratt, where the hell's Booth?

793
00:48:02,830 --> 00:48:04,380
He'll be here.

794
00:48:07,420 --> 00:48:09,760
All right, steady.

795
00:48:14,090 --> 00:48:15,470
Wait!

796
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,810
He's not coming!

797
00:48:20,020 --> 00:48:21,680
Lincoln's changed his plans.

798
00:48:21,730 --> 00:48:23,480
- What? - He's still in town.

799
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,610
He just gave a speech at the National.

800
00:48:38,620 --> 00:48:40,790
Anna, back upstairs.

801
00:48:50,050 --> 00:48:51,760
Who was in the carriage?

802
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,680
Doesn't matter. What matters is he wasn't in the carriage.

803
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:55,720
You should have known.

804
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:56,760
What about the weapons?

805
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,010
We need to hide these weapons.

806
00:48:58,060 --> 00:48:59,260
We can take them to Lloyd's.

807
00:48:59,310 --> 00:49:00,260
I'll take 'em.

808
00:49:00,310 --> 00:49:01,810
You'd shoot your own foot off.

809
00:49:01,850 --> 00:49:02,890
I said I'd do it.

810
00:49:02,940 --> 00:49:04,020
Don't push me.

811
00:49:04,060 --> 00:49:05,650
Enough!

812
00:49:05,690 --> 00:49:08,900
Fools like you are the reason we can lose this fight.

813
00:49:16,660 --> 00:49:20,660
Johnny Surratt, I'd like a word with you, please.

814
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:22,700
Well, answer, Johnny. Your mama's callin'.

815
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,960
They planned on ransoming Lincoln in exchange

816
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,050
for all the Confederate soldiers in your prisons.

817
00:49:32,090 --> 00:49:33,630
Why didn't you report them to the authorities?

818
00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:36,220
Because one of them was my son.

819
00:49:36,260 --> 00:49:37,470
So rather than kidnap him,

820
00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:39,220
your son helped murder the president instead.

821
00:49:39,260 --> 00:49:40,260
No.

822
00:49:40,310 --> 00:49:43,140
They nearly got the vice president and the secretary of State.

823
00:49:43,180 --> 00:49:44,730
No, it's not true. It's not my Johnny.

824
00:49:44,770 --> 00:49:45,480
Damn it, ma'am,

825
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:46,980
you just said he was Booth's right hand.

826
00:49:47,020 --> 00:49:49,650
My son is not a murderer, Mr. Aiken.

827
00:49:49,690 --> 00:49:51,520
All right, then.

828
00:49:51,570 --> 00:49:53,190
Swear to it.

829
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,370
Supper will be ready shortly.

830
00:50:00,780 --> 00:50:01,830
John?

831
00:50:01,870 --> 00:50:03,910
Can't stay, mama.

832
00:50:03,950 --> 00:50:06,040
I have to leave town straightaway.

833
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,370
What's so pressing?

834
00:50:07,420 --> 00:50:09,130
Nothing that need worry you.

835
00:50:09,170 --> 00:50:11,880
Just some cotton speculatin'. That's all.

836
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,050
Don't sport with me, son.

837
00:50:14,090 --> 00:50:16,130
You're not steppin' outside this house.

838
00:50:16,170 --> 00:50:18,180
Don't talk to me like I'm a child!

839
00:50:18,220 --> 00:50:20,640
Richmond's falling. Something must be done.

840
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,810
Johnny, I'm aware of the news from Richmond,

841
00:50:23,850 --> 00:50:25,810
and it pains me terribly.

842
00:50:25,850 --> 00:50:26,930
Supper's ready.

843
00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:29,850
Wh-what is it?

844
00:50:29,900 --> 00:50:30,900
I'm leaving town.

845
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:32,360
No, you're not leaving town.

846
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,400
Yes, I am.

847
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,070
You and Anna are the only family I've got left,

848
00:50:35,110 --> 00:50:36,040
and I'll be damned if I let

849
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,650
you go out there and do something else foolish.

850
00:50:37,700 --> 00:50:38,820
- Foolish? - Johnny...

851
00:50:38,860 --> 00:50:40,140
What I'm fightin' for is

852
00:50:40,140 --> 00:50:41,070
far more important than any of us.

853
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,830
Your family is more important than anything.

854
00:50:42,870 --> 00:50:43,990
That is your responsibility!

855
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,080
All of our men are buried underground right now.

856
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,540
- The war is over. - Oh, you're wrong about that.

857
00:50:48,580 --> 00:50:50,000
There is nothing left for you to do.

858
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,800
The war is far from over,

859
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:51,830
and there's still plenty I can do.

860
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,090
- Johnny, please. - Unhand me, Mother.

861
00:50:53,130 --> 00:50:54,340
Unhand me, Mother.

862
00:50:54,380 --> 00:50:55,670
John!

863
00:50:55,710 --> 00:50:57,170
Mother.

864
00:50:57,220 --> 00:50:58,840
John, are you coming or not?

865
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,050
Johnny, please.

866
00:51:00,090 --> 00:51:03,180
If this cause ain't worth fightin' for, then what is?

867
00:51:06,100 --> 00:51:07,560
So that was the last time you saw your son?

868
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,680
Yes.

869
00:51:08,730 --> 00:51:10,730
Less than two weeks before the assassination?

870
00:51:11,230 --> 00:51:11,730
Yes.

871
00:51:11,770 --> 00:51:13,520
So then, you see, you admit

872
00:51:13,570 --> 00:51:15,860
that your son conspired to kill President Lincoln.

873
00:51:15,900 --> 00:51:18,030
I don't know.

874
00:51:20,070 --> 00:51:21,610
May God help you.

875
00:51:21,660 --> 00:51:24,030
Honestly, Mr. Aiken, I don't know.

876
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:29,750
Lord, I pray not.

877
00:51:30,750 --> 00:51:35,130
All I know is that I did not.

878
00:51:39,260 --> 00:51:40,630
I swear.

879
00:52:02,030 --> 00:52:03,450
Miss Surratt.

880
00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:06,660
You have to tell me exactly...

881
00:52:06,700 --> 00:52:07,700
How is my mother?

882
00:52:07,740 --> 00:52:09,410
She's managing. You have to tell me

883
00:52:09,450 --> 00:52:10,410
exactly what happened here.

884
00:52:10,460 --> 00:52:11,620
What do you mean?

885
00:52:11,670 --> 00:52:13,790
Do you know that Louis Weichmann, uh, your friend,

886
00:52:13,830 --> 00:52:15,840
testified against your mother

887
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,300
after you told me he was like a son to her?

888
00:52:19,510 --> 00:52:21,260
What went on here?

889
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:22,800
Why should I trust you?

890
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,680
Because your mother told me everything.

891
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:26,470
She told me about John.

892
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,600
She told me about the plot to kidnap President Lincoln.

893
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:37,190
Anna, did you try and stop him?

894
00:52:37,230 --> 00:52:39,190
How was I supposed to do that?

895
00:52:39,230 --> 00:52:40,610
'Cause you're his older sister.

896
00:52:40,650 --> 00:52:42,820
You don't know how stubborn my brother can be.

897
00:52:42,860 --> 00:52:46,280
All right. Did your brother conspire to kill the president?

898
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,120
My brother left town weeks before the assassination.

899
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,620
It proves nothing. Look, the night he left the boarding house...

900
00:52:49,660 --> 00:52:50,660
I've said all I will.

901
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:52,370
Miss Surratt, I'm trying...

902
00:52:52,410 --> 00:52:54,790
I'm trying to help.

903
00:52:54,830 --> 00:52:56,960
By condemning my brother?

904
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,170
Mr. Aiken, my mother would never allow that,

905
00:53:00,170 --> 00:53:00,960
and neither would I.

906
00:53:01,010 --> 00:53:04,880
Oh. All right. All right, look, you knew about Weichmann.

907
00:53:04,930 --> 00:53:08,640
If you know any potential witnesses the prosecution might call

908
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,970
or what evidence they'll use against her,

909
00:53:11,020 --> 00:53:12,350
you must tell me.

910
00:53:15,810 --> 00:53:17,190
Will you help me?

911
00:53:17,900 --> 00:53:19,320
Let us proceed with events

912
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,320
following the assassination of President Lincoln.

913
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,070
On the night of April 17,

914
00:53:23,110 --> 00:53:24,820
what were your duties, Major Smith?

915
00:53:24,860 --> 00:53:26,740
I was charged with finding John Surratt,

916
00:53:26,780 --> 00:53:29,830
and we were searching the house.

917
00:53:29,870 --> 00:53:31,620
Major, I found these.

918
00:53:31,660 --> 00:53:34,370
They were here in the daughter's bedroom.

919
00:53:43,550 --> 00:53:47,340
Major Smith, please read aloud what's inscribed here.

920
00:53:47,390 --> 00:53:49,220
"Sic semper tyrannis."

921
00:53:47,390 --> 00:53:49,220

922
00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:52,010
Could you translate?

923
00:53:52,060 --> 00:53:54,100
Of course. "Thus always for tyrants."

924
00:53:54,140 --> 00:53:55,850
Are those words familiar to you?

925
00:53:55,890 --> 00:53:57,100
Indeed.

926
00:53:57,150 --> 00:54:00,110
Booth yelled them after he cut down our president.

927
00:54:00,150 --> 00:54:02,900
You found the same three days later

928
00:54:02,940 --> 00:54:05,360
in her daughter's bedroom next to a photograph

929
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:06,610
of the assassin himself.

930
00:54:07,910 --> 00:54:09,530
Like a shrine, sir.

931
00:54:10,950 --> 00:54:12,530
Please continue.

932
00:54:12,580 --> 00:54:14,910
Uh, objection.

933
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,870
Sic semper tyrannis is the state motto of Virginia.

934
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,880
It hardly constitutes proof of a shrine to Booth.

935
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,050
No further proof is needed, Mr. Aiken.

936
00:54:23,090 --> 00:54:24,260
Proceed, Mr. Holt.

937
00:54:25,630 --> 00:54:27,010
Continue, Major Smith.

938
00:54:28,050 --> 00:54:28,870
As I was fixing to take

939
00:54:28,870 --> 00:54:30,470
the Surratts to headquarters for questioning,

940
00:54:30,510 --> 00:54:32,140
there was a knock at the door.

941
00:54:32,180 --> 00:54:33,260
You all right, ma'am?

942
00:54:45,780 --> 00:54:47,400
I... I must be mistaken.

943
00:54:47,450 --> 00:54:49,410
Wait a minute.

944
00:54:49,450 --> 00:54:51,740
Whom do you wish to see?

945
00:54:51,780 --> 00:54:53,490
Uh, Mrs. Surratt.

946
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:55,790
This is her place. Bring him in.

947
00:55:05,010 --> 00:55:06,510
Is she expecting you?

948
00:55:07,050 --> 00:55:09,930
She sent for me, asked me to dig a gutter for her.

949
00:55:09,970 --> 00:55:11,430
At this time of night?

950
00:55:11,470 --> 00:55:14,970
In the morning. I just wanted to know what time.

951
00:55:15,020 --> 00:55:18,020
Bring Mrs. Surratt in here.

952
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,530
Ma'am, did you hire this man to dig a gutter for you?

953
00:55:27,780 --> 00:55:29,280
No, sir.

954
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,820
Do you know this man?

955
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,490
No, sir.

956
00:55:40,330 --> 00:55:43,040
Is this the man she denies knowing?

957
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,670
No, sir.

958
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,970
Is this the man she denies knowing?

959
00:55:51,010 --> 00:55:52,510
Yes, sir.

960
00:55:53,850 --> 00:55:55,300
Lewis Payne.

961
00:55:56,850 --> 00:56:01,760
The same man boarded at the Surratts' prior to

962
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,480
daggering the secretary of State and his kin.

963
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:04,770
Yes.

964
00:56:04,810 --> 00:56:06,900
Thank you, Major. Nothing further.

965
00:56:26,380 --> 00:56:29,340
Major Smith, are you aware that Lewis Payne

966
00:56:29,380 --> 00:56:31,100
boarded at the Surratts'

967
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:31,670
under an alias,

968
00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:33,740
claiming to be a Baptist minister from Baltimore

969
00:56:33,740 --> 00:56:34,840
named Wood?

970
00:56:34,890 --> 00:56:36,600
That's what she claimed.

971
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:37,640
She claimed?

972
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,520
I would like to submit

973
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,100
into evidence this ledger of guest accounts

974
00:56:43,140 --> 00:56:45,190
from the Surratt boarding house.

975
00:56:45,230 --> 00:56:46,620
Supposing, as this evidence

976
00:56:46,620 --> 00:56:49,190
would seem to suggest, that that were the truth...

977
00:56:49,230 --> 00:56:51,150
suppose Mrs. Surratt simply failed that night

978
00:56:51,190 --> 00:56:52,820
to recognize Wood the preacher

979
00:56:52,860 --> 00:56:55,410
in the guise of Payne the ditch digger.

980
00:56:55,450 --> 00:56:59,240
He was standing in full view of her not three paces.

981
00:57:00,910 --> 00:57:03,830
General Hunter, since accepting this case,

982
00:57:03,870 --> 00:57:08,380
I have come to learn that my client's eyesight is defective.

983
00:57:09,420 --> 00:57:10,740
I have here a sworn affidavit

984
00:57:10,740 --> 00:57:12,840
from her doctor stating just that.

985
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,430
Major Smith, it was dark. It was nighttime.

986
00:57:16,470 --> 00:57:20,100
Isn't it possible Mary Surratt simply...

987
00:57:20,140 --> 00:57:21,640
failed to see him?

988
00:57:22,770 --> 00:57:24,350
If I saw a man dressed as a preacher

989
00:57:24,390 --> 00:57:26,100
and two months later a laborer,

990
00:57:26,150 --> 00:57:28,560
then I would recognize him as the same person.

991
00:57:28,610 --> 00:57:29,570
Thank you, Major Smith.

992
00:57:29,610 --> 00:57:31,730
A simple yes or no will do.

993
00:57:31,780 --> 00:57:34,490
Is it possible she failed to see him properly?

994
00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:36,910
Yes, I suppose it's possible.

995
00:57:36,950 --> 00:57:38,910
No further questions.

996
00:57:38,950 --> 00:57:42,950
The prosecution seems unable to present any proof of guilt

997
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,040
beyond a reasonable doubt.

998
00:57:54,170 --> 00:57:58,300
Uh, could somebody bring me the transcript of today's trial?

999
00:57:58,340 --> 00:58:00,100
Shall I read it aloud to you?

1000
00:58:00,140 --> 00:58:01,180
Oh, Ed.

1001
00:58:02,930 --> 00:58:06,310
Your young associate is putting up a spirited defense.

1002
00:58:06,350 --> 00:58:10,650
Reminds me of a certain lawyer I had to face 25 years ago.

1003
00:58:10,690 --> 00:58:13,030
Ah, he learned to fight in your army.

1004
00:58:13,070 --> 00:58:14,820
Can I get you a drink?

1005
00:58:14,860 --> 00:58:17,860
No, no. No, I won't be staying long. Reverdy...

1006
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,040
You've done as much for this nation as any man I know.

1007
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,790
Oh. Feeling's mutual, Ed.

1008
00:58:27,830 --> 00:58:29,370
Don't you think it's time

1009
00:58:29,370 --> 00:58:31,960
for us two old war horses to call a truce?

1010
00:58:33,250 --> 00:58:36,420
Not if you insist on staging this travesty.

1011
00:58:36,470 --> 00:58:39,550
This trial will do more to keep the peace

1012
00:58:39,590 --> 00:58:41,550
than any paper treaty could.

1013
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,010
Heh. How'd you convince yourself of that?

1014
00:58:44,060 --> 00:58:46,640
Because justice, swift and firm,

1015
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,650
will help deter the South from ever conspiring again,

1016
00:58:49,690 --> 00:58:52,650
as well as discouraging the North from seeking revenge.

1017
00:58:52,690 --> 00:58:54,570
What about the rule of law?

1018
00:58:54,610 --> 00:58:56,430
My first responsibility is to ensure that

1019
00:58:56,430 --> 00:58:58,490
this war stays won.

1020
00:58:58,530 --> 00:58:59,780
Oh, and this is how you do it,

1021
00:58:59,820 --> 00:59:02,280
by keeping fear alive as long as you see fit?

1022
00:59:02,330 --> 00:59:05,200
Look. "Stanton warns of future rebel plots,"

1023
00:59:05,250 --> 00:59:07,830
uh, water supplies poisoned, um...

1024
00:59:07,870 --> 00:59:10,040
firebombing cities.

1025
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,130
Uh, yellow fever spreading all over the place.

1026
00:59:13,170 --> 00:59:15,840
This is a frightened country, Ed.

1027
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,420
You don't need to scare us anymore.

1028
00:59:17,470 --> 00:59:19,840
And who is to say that none of these things could happen?

1029
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,680
The unspeakable already has...

1030
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,970
Our president assassinated, 600,000 dead.

1031
00:59:26,020 --> 00:59:27,850
The world has changed, Reverdy.

1032
00:59:27,890 --> 00:59:32,060
Abandoning the Constitution is not the answer.

1033
00:59:36,230 --> 00:59:38,360
You may prefer dining alone.

1034
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,410
I just hope your young associate does as well.

1035
00:59:41,450 --> 00:59:43,030
If he pushes too hard,

1036
00:59:43,070 --> 00:59:45,910
he will make enemies who will not soon forget.

1037
00:59:46,830 --> 00:59:48,700
On this, you know I'm right.

1038
01:00:27,540 --> 01:00:29,160
I'm here to see Secretary Stanton, boys.

1039
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,750
Stand down.

1040
01:00:31,620 --> 01:00:32,280
Sorry, sir. Mr. Stanton

1041
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,460
doesn't see anyone without an appointment.

1042
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,040
Well, good morning, Mr. Aiken.

1043
01:00:36,090 --> 01:00:37,090
Morning.

1044
01:00:37,130 --> 01:00:39,340
Perhaps I can be of some assistance.

1045
01:00:39,380 --> 01:00:40,170
If you can arrange an

1046
01:00:40,170 --> 01:00:41,920
appointment for me with the secretary, you can.

1047
01:00:41,970 --> 01:00:44,090
Unfortunately he's quite busy right now,

1048
01:00:44,140 --> 01:00:46,300
but perhaps you'd care to have a word with me instead.

1049
01:00:47,470 --> 01:00:48,680
Please.

1050
01:00:52,020 --> 01:00:53,440
My client is unwell.

1051
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,940
So I hear. Touch of the woman's curse.

1052
01:00:55,980 --> 01:00:57,160
I'm sure she'll be well

1053
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,360
enough to continue her trial in a few days.

1054
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,690
She's been in solitary confinement for over a month.

1055
01:01:01,740 --> 01:01:03,820
She hasn't eaten in over a week.

1056
01:01:03,860 --> 01:01:05,030
She's refusing to eat.

1057
01:01:05,070 --> 01:01:07,030
All the prisoners are fed daily.

1058
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,370
Soft bread and salted meat.

1059
01:01:08,410 --> 01:01:10,830
Unless she has a proper meal and some fresh air,

1060
01:01:10,870 --> 01:01:12,700
I can't guarantee she'll be fit for trial.

1061
01:01:12,750 --> 01:01:15,960
One of the conspirators refuses to be guarded by a Negro,

1062
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,380
and the other insists on only eating his mother's cooking.

1063
01:01:18,420 --> 01:01:19,630
We can't accommodate every whim.

1064
01:01:19,670 --> 01:01:21,070
Come now. I am merely asking

1065
01:01:21,070 --> 01:01:23,220
for you to stop treating her like a savage.

1066
01:01:24,010 --> 01:01:26,300
How dare you accuse us of savagery?

1067
01:01:27,390 --> 01:01:30,060
Have you forgotten how our own were treated by the rebels?

1068
01:01:30,100 --> 01:01:31,100
Of course not.

1069
01:01:32,180 --> 01:01:34,980
But Mary Surratt is in serious decline.

1070
01:01:35,020 --> 01:01:36,970
If this treatment of her continues,

1071
01:01:36,970 --> 01:01:38,650
she will not be sound of mind.

1072
01:01:38,690 --> 01:01:42,320
And I trust that is something the government wishes to avoid.

1073
01:01:44,450 --> 01:01:48,740
I may have a way to serve all interests.

1074
01:01:48,780 --> 01:01:52,870
I'll deny ever telling you this. Understood?

1075
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:11,680
Father.

1076
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:12,760
Counselor.

1077
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,230
Feel that sun.

1078
01:02:20,860 --> 01:02:23,400
Do I have you to thank for this?

1079
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:27,610
Well, thank you.

1080
01:02:29,700 --> 01:02:33,030
Well, if I could just get you to start eating.

1081
01:02:34,450 --> 01:02:36,460
Left. Left.

1082
01:02:36,500 --> 01:02:37,870
Left, right, left.

1083
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,000
Company halt.

1084
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,420
Mary, there's something I need to ask you.

1085
01:02:45,590 --> 01:02:47,670
I've never seen you at a loss for words, young man.

1086
01:02:52,220 --> 01:02:53,760
Do you know where your son is hiding?

1087
01:02:53,810 --> 01:02:54,850
Johnny?

1088
01:02:54,890 --> 01:02:55,970
Of course not.

1089
01:02:56,020 --> 01:02:58,520
Government believes you do.

1090
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,190
What do you believe?

1091
01:03:05,570 --> 01:03:08,530
I believe you know more than you're willing to tell me.

1092
01:03:09,780 --> 01:03:13,190
Uh, have you ever cared for something

1093
01:03:13,190 --> 01:03:15,240
greater than yourself?

1094
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,080
I've spent these last four years

1095
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,540
fighting for something greater than myself,

1096
01:03:22,590 --> 01:03:24,420
so don't...

1097
01:03:25,460 --> 01:03:27,130
Then we are the same.

1098
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,220
Mary, you have to tell us where your son is.

1099
01:03:37,270 --> 01:03:39,890
Us?

1100
01:03:39,940 --> 01:03:42,150
I have to tell "Us"?

1101
01:03:42,190 --> 01:03:43,650
Whose side are you on?

1102
01:03:43,690 --> 01:03:45,150
I'm trying to defend you.

1103
01:03:45,190 --> 01:03:48,320
By suggesting I trade my son for myself?

1104
01:03:49,780 --> 01:03:52,820
You're trying to save you, Mr. Aiken.

1105
01:03:52,870 --> 01:03:56,660
I wish I could give you what you need. I truly do.

1106
01:03:56,700 --> 01:04:00,160
But if you want out, you'll have to find another way.

1107
01:04:05,290 --> 01:04:07,090
I'm gonna take a walk.

1108
01:04:07,130 --> 01:04:08,420
It's so nice out.

1109
01:04:08,460 --> 01:04:10,800
Do you care to walk with me?

1110
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,760
So we're stuck in these shallow trenches.

1111
01:04:15,810 --> 01:04:16,970
We're surrounded on all sides.

1112
01:04:17,010 --> 01:04:18,810
Nobody knows what to do. Nobody knows what to say.

1113
01:04:18,850 --> 01:04:21,020
We're frozen, completely petrified.

1114
01:04:21,060 --> 01:04:22,560
And then from somewhere up on the hill,

1115
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,770
we hear this loud booming Southern voice.

1116
01:04:24,810 --> 01:04:26,020
It's the rebel general.

1117
01:04:26,070 --> 01:04:28,280
He yells, "Y'all boys better say your prayers,

1118
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,820
because there are 400 of us and only 100 of you."

1119
01:04:30,860 --> 01:04:32,200
You can stop right there, Baker.

1120
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,450
And so then this madman, he stands up,

1121
01:04:34,490 --> 01:04:36,660
and he yells back to him, and he says...

1122
01:04:36,700 --> 01:04:38,870
he says, "Hundred? Heck, we've got less than that.

1123
01:04:38,910 --> 01:04:41,080
But we don't surrender, so come and get us."

1124
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:42,120
And with that,

1125
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,540
he pulls down his pants and bares his arse.

1126
01:04:46,250 --> 01:04:47,250
You didn't.

1127
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:49,380
- I didn't. - What?

1128
01:04:49,420 --> 01:04:52,380
It doesn't seem as though Fred ever intends to surrender.

1129
01:04:52,430 --> 01:04:54,130
Ah, it appears he already has.

1130
01:04:54,180 --> 01:04:57,010
She's fair, fit and 40.

1131
01:04:58,180 --> 01:05:00,470
Is it true Mrs. Surratt is a Catholic,

1132
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,310
wears black from head to toe?

1133
01:05:02,350 --> 01:05:03,540
I hear she spits in the

1134
01:05:03,540 --> 01:05:05,810
faces of every Union soldier she encounters.

1135
01:05:05,860 --> 01:05:06,960
Apparently she wears a necklace made

1136
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,980
from the bone of a Union soldier.

1137
01:05:09,030 --> 01:05:12,030
Seriously, Fred, do you honestly doubt she's guilty?

1138
01:05:15,950 --> 01:05:18,870
So, okay, who would like to dance?

1139
01:05:18,910 --> 01:05:20,870
- Yes. - Yes. Good.

1140
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,180
Dance?

1141
01:05:38,220 --> 01:05:39,850
It's more like a wake.

1142
01:05:39,890 --> 01:05:40,960
I suppose I should have

1143
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,390
dressed more like Mrs. Surratt.

1144
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:46,690
Fred, what are you doing?

1145
01:05:46,730 --> 01:05:50,020
I'm enduring the pain of having to listen to Baker.

1146
01:05:50,070 --> 01:05:51,230
You know what I mean.

1147
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:53,510
If she's found guilty,

1148
01:05:53,510 --> 01:05:54,740
they'll say you weren't up to the task.

1149
01:05:56,450 --> 01:05:57,950
And God forbid you prevail.

1150
01:05:57,990 --> 01:06:01,030
They'll think you just as much a traitor as she.

1151
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:04,410
Baker, how 'bout something a little happier?

1152
01:06:06,250 --> 01:06:07,420
- Little happier? - Yeah.

1153
01:06:07,460 --> 01:06:10,340
All right, Fred. Happier, he wants.

1154
01:06:18,090 --> 01:06:19,720
William's right, you know.

1155
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,060
Either outcome, you cannot prevail.

1156
01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:23,520
Sarah.

1157
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,390
What is it about Mary Surratt you find so compelling?

1158
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,060
These are criminal, despicable people, Fred.

1159
01:06:31,110 --> 01:06:32,400
They're... they're the same sort of people

1160
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,400
you risked your life fighting against,

1161
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,570
and she helped kill your commander in chief.

1162
01:06:36,610 --> 01:06:38,490
I don't know what she's guilty of.

1163
01:06:43,620 --> 01:06:45,080
May I ask you one more thing?

1164
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,160
What is it, Sarah?

1165
01:06:47,210 --> 01:06:50,170
Does the captain remember how to dance?

1166
01:06:54,590 --> 01:06:55,630
Of course.

1167
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,600
Few people will forget what side you fought on.

1168
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,480
Trust me. It can be lonely.

1169
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,560
I'm just upholding my oath as an attorney

1170
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,650
and doing my job. It's what you asked.

1171
01:07:11,690 --> 01:07:13,520
It's what you told me to do.

1172
01:07:13,570 --> 01:07:15,890
This habit of quoting me back to me

1173
01:07:15,890 --> 01:07:16,940
could become most irritating.

1174
01:07:16,990 --> 01:07:18,080
You have your mother's

1175
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,360
convictions and your father's annoying habits.

1176
01:07:20,410 --> 01:07:23,620
Well, "Mary Surratt is entitled to a defense, Freddie,

1177
01:07:23,660 --> 01:07:25,370
so I shall defend her."

1178
01:07:27,660 --> 01:07:32,170
If they want John Surratt,

1179
01:07:33,340 --> 01:07:35,920
then you should serve him up on a platter.

1180
01:07:38,300 --> 01:07:41,380
I... I don't mean, uh, physically. I mean in spirit.

1181
01:07:41,430 --> 01:07:43,850
You have to prove to the Commission

1182
01:07:43,890 --> 01:07:46,890
that he is responsible, not her.

1183
01:07:49,390 --> 01:07:50,480
She's not gonna like that.

1184
01:07:51,690 --> 01:07:54,020
Mr. Lloyd, you are a tenant of Mary Surratt, are you not?

1185
01:07:54,070 --> 01:07:55,150
Yes, sir.

1186
01:07:55,190 --> 01:07:57,650
I run a tavern some 10 miles from the city

1187
01:07:57,690 --> 01:08:00,320
on a property she owns.

1188
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,570
And on the afternoon that President Lincoln was assassinated,

1189
01:08:04,620 --> 01:08:06,910
did Mary Surratt pay you a visit?

1190
01:08:07,930 --> 01:08:12,020
Yes, sir, in the company of Louis Weichmann.

1191
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,320
And she brought you a package, did she not?

1192
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:19,820
Yes, sir. That's correct, sir.

1193
01:08:19,860 --> 01:08:21,700
Small package wrapped in newspaper.

1194
01:08:25,380 --> 01:08:27,840
Did she tell you where the package came from?

1195
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,300
Said it came from John Wilkes Booth.

1196
01:08:32,140 --> 01:08:34,010
John Wilkes Booth!

1197
01:08:35,980 --> 01:08:36,850
And what exactly did she give you?

1198
01:08:36,890 --> 01:08:38,310
Objection.

1199
01:08:38,350 --> 01:08:40,730
There's no way the defendant could have known what was inside.

1200
01:08:40,770 --> 01:08:42,520
He just testified the package was wrapped.

1201
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:44,110
Overruled.

1202
01:08:44,150 --> 01:08:45,820
Witness will answer the question.

1203
01:08:46,950 --> 01:08:50,910
Mr. Lloyd, what was inside the package?

1204
01:08:50,950 --> 01:08:52,280
Field glasses, sir.

1205
01:08:52,330 --> 01:08:53,490
Field glasses?

1206
01:08:53,540 --> 01:08:54,830
Field glasses like these?

1207
01:08:54,870 --> 01:08:56,040
Exactly.

1208
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,460
With the initials "J.W.B." Inscribed on them.

1209
01:09:02,250 --> 01:09:04,550
Did she give you any instructions?

1210
01:09:05,550 --> 01:09:07,010
Sir?

1211
01:09:07,050 --> 01:09:09,130
Instructions, Mr. Lloyd?

1212
01:09:09,180 --> 01:09:11,680
Instructions which may affect this trial?

1213
01:09:14,180 --> 01:09:15,810
Oh. Yes, sir.

1214
01:09:15,850 --> 01:09:17,430
Ahem. She told me,

1215
01:09:17,480 --> 01:09:20,640
"Lloyd, get those shootin' irons ready.

1216
01:09:20,690 --> 01:09:24,190
There will be parties here tonight who will call for them."

1217
01:09:24,230 --> 01:09:25,230
You liar!

1218
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:26,280
Order!

1219
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:27,400
- He's a liar! - Order!

1220
01:09:27,440 --> 01:09:28,530
- It's a lie. - Order!

1221
01:09:30,740 --> 01:09:32,610
Control yourself, madam.

1222
01:09:32,990 --> 01:09:35,990
Such outbursts will only prejudice your case.

1223
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,290
Oh, Lord.

1224
01:09:39,620 --> 01:09:40,990
I just don't see how I could

1225
01:09:40,990 --> 01:09:43,040
possibly further prejudice this case, sir.

1226
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,420
Counselor, you will control your client.

1227
01:09:46,460 --> 01:09:48,090
General.

1228
01:09:50,630 --> 01:09:52,220
Shooting irons!

1229
01:09:53,090 --> 01:09:54,390
Shooting irons.

1230
01:09:54,430 --> 01:09:56,390
And to what was she referring?

1231
01:09:56,430 --> 01:09:57,810
Army rifles, sir,

1232
01:09:57,850 --> 01:10:00,890
hidden in the joist above the dining room.

1233
01:10:00,940 --> 01:10:02,390
And what else did she tell you?

1234
01:10:02,440 --> 01:10:05,940
She said I was to get two bottles of whiskey ready, too.

1235
01:10:08,650 --> 01:10:11,070
And were these things called for,

1236
01:10:11,110 --> 01:10:13,030
as per the defendant's instructions?

1237
01:10:13,070 --> 01:10:14,070
Yes, sir.

1238
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,410
About midnight, sir,

1239
01:10:15,450 --> 01:10:17,240
the night of the assassination,

1240
01:10:17,290 --> 01:10:20,410
by two men on horses, one...

1241
01:10:21,620 --> 01:10:22,790
I'd seen before.

1242
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,130
T'other was a stranger to me.

1243
01:10:29,050 --> 01:10:30,360
I brought the items,

1244
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,520
thinking these were the parties

1245
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:33,720
Mrs. Surratt meant.

1246
01:10:50,820 --> 01:10:52,280
Two of 'em rode off so fast,

1247
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,320
they could have outrun Creation and give it two-mile a start.

1248
01:10:59,660 --> 01:11:00,790
Your witness.

1249
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:04,410
I did not...

1250
01:11:07,380 --> 01:11:08,670
Mr. Lloyd.

1251
01:11:14,010 --> 01:11:15,760
Mr. Lloyd, you just testified

1252
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,400
that Louis Weichmann accompanied

1253
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:19,220
the defendant that afternoon.

1254
01:11:19,260 --> 01:11:20,510
Right.

1255
01:11:21,100 --> 01:11:22,520
So then I can correctly assume

1256
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:23,990
that he would also testify

1257
01:11:23,990 --> 01:11:26,190
to having heard her instructions to you.

1258
01:11:26,230 --> 01:11:27,770
No.

1259
01:11:28,190 --> 01:11:31,150
She took me out by the woodpile out of earshot.

1260
01:11:31,190 --> 01:11:35,070
So you're saying that nobody heard this conversation,

1261
01:11:35,110 --> 01:11:36,490
just you and her.

1262
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:38,570
Way it happened, sir.

1263
01:11:39,370 --> 01:11:42,290
Of course it is.

1264
01:11:43,830 --> 01:11:48,000
When did you learn of President Lincoln's assassination?

1265
01:11:48,380 --> 01:11:50,340
Well, who can forget when they heard?

1266
01:11:50,380 --> 01:11:54,010
The next morning, a Captain Cottingham told me.

1267
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,590
He was searching for the assassins.

1268
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,510
No doubt, you were most upset.

1269
01:12:00,390 --> 01:12:01,310
Indeed.

1270
01:12:02,020 --> 01:12:04,390
I got myself right smart in liquor.

1271
01:12:06,890 --> 01:12:09,860
Yes, you're... you're right smart in liquor most days,

1272
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:11,060
- aren't you, Mr. Lloyd? - Objection.

1273
01:12:11,110 --> 01:12:14,090
In fact, I hear that you're your own best customer.

1274
01:12:14,140 --> 01:12:14,740
Objection.

1275
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:16,900
Sustained.

1276
01:12:17,950 --> 01:12:20,370
This Captain Cottingham,

1277
01:12:20,410 --> 01:12:24,880
did he ask you anything in reference to the assassins?

1278
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,250
He asked if any parties had passed through.

1279
01:12:28,290 --> 01:12:30,460
Naturally I told him about the two I knew.

1280
01:12:30,500 --> 01:12:32,590
Actually, you did not.

1281
01:12:36,510 --> 01:12:39,220
According to this witness report,

1282
01:12:39,340 --> 01:12:42,550
you said nothing for two days.

1283
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,270
I was frightened is all.

1284
01:12:44,770 --> 01:12:47,230
I feared the assassins might come for me.

1285
01:12:47,670 --> 01:12:50,540
Perhaps, though, you were afraid that the authorities

1286
01:12:50,570 --> 01:12:51,800
might consider you an accessory.

1287
01:12:53,480 --> 01:12:55,020
Well, it was through the

1288
01:12:55,020 --> 01:12:56,610
Surratts that I got myself in such difficulty.

1289
01:12:57,630 --> 01:12:58,790
The Surratts.

1290
01:12:58,790 --> 01:13:02,000
Don't you mean John Surratt, to be more precise?

1291
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:03,370
Wasn't it he who brought the shooting irons

1292
01:13:03,410 --> 01:13:05,740
to your tavern door in the first place?

1293
01:13:05,790 --> 01:13:06,790
Yeah.

1294
01:13:06,830 --> 01:13:09,430
And he showed you where to hide them?

1295
01:13:09,430 --> 01:13:10,620
I didn't want to.

1296
01:13:10,620 --> 01:13:13,250
So you're saying that he asked you,

1297
01:13:13,290 --> 01:13:15,960
forced you to do so against your will.

1298
01:13:18,130 --> 01:13:18,920
Yes.

1299
01:13:18,970 --> 01:13:21,590
So he brought them to you,

1300
01:13:22,300 --> 01:13:23,930
he showed you where to hide them,

1301
01:13:23,970 --> 01:13:27,910
and he forced you to hide them against your will?

1302
01:13:27,910 --> 01:13:29,390
That's right. Yes, exactly.

1303
01:13:30,230 --> 01:13:32,480
If John Surratt was capable

1304
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,820
of putting Mr. Lloyd, Louis Weichmann

1305
01:13:34,860 --> 01:13:36,440
and Lord knows how many others at risk,

1306
01:13:36,480 --> 01:13:38,400
who's to say he didn't do the same to his mother?

1307
01:13:38,440 --> 01:13:39,610
- Objection. - Stop this!

1308
01:13:39,650 --> 01:13:40,680
Sir, it seems the...

1309
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:41,780
Stop it right now, Mr. Aiken.

1310
01:13:41,820 --> 01:13:43,280
- It seems the only thing... - Objection.

1311
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:43,980
General, objection.

1312
01:13:43,980 --> 01:13:45,450
That Mary Surratt might be guilty of

1313
01:13:45,490 --> 01:13:47,670
is having given birth to her son John.

1314
01:13:47,670 --> 01:13:48,830
How dare you?

1315
01:13:48,870 --> 01:13:51,860
Objection sustained. That will be all, Mr. Aiken.

1316
01:13:57,510 --> 01:13:59,130
Just to be clear, Mr. Lloyd,

1317
01:13:59,170 --> 01:14:01,130
it was the defendant, Mary Surratt,

1318
01:14:01,180 --> 01:14:03,340
who just hours before the assassination

1319
01:14:03,390 --> 01:14:04,800
brought you field glasses

1320
01:14:04,850 --> 01:14:06,130
and instructed you to prepare rifles

1321
01:14:06,130 --> 01:14:09,120
and two bottles of whiskey?

1322
01:14:11,140 --> 01:14:12,140
Yeah.

1323
01:14:12,660 --> 01:14:13,950
Thank you.

1324
01:14:14,830 --> 01:14:16,450
General Hunter,

1325
01:14:17,260 --> 01:14:19,040
members of the Commission,

1326
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,830
the government rests its case against Mary Surratt.

1327
01:14:23,660 --> 01:14:26,500
That'll be all, Mr. Lloyd. You may step down.

1328
01:14:29,420 --> 01:14:31,830
What did they promise you to say that, Mr. Lloyd?

1329
01:14:31,830 --> 01:14:33,050
Counselor, I'm warning you.

1330
01:14:33,250 --> 01:14:35,840
Bet a case of whiskey's all it took.

1331
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:37,960
You best hush up. I'll put you in the ground, boy.

1332
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,050
Mr. Aiken, you will sit down, sir.

1333
01:14:40,090 --> 01:14:41,510
You shut him up.

1334
01:14:41,550 --> 01:14:43,050
Sit down, sir.

1335
01:14:51,020 --> 01:14:51,930
Now...

1336
01:14:53,730 --> 01:14:54,770
we will adjourn.

1337
01:14:55,440 --> 01:14:56,520
When we resume,

1338
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:58,480
the defense may call its first witness.

1339
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,200
Left. Left.

1340
01:15:21,350 --> 01:15:21,880
Excuse me, sirs.

1341
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,090
Uh, Captain Cottingham?

1342
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:24,260
Yes.

1343
01:15:24,300 --> 01:15:25,930
Can I have a word with you, please?

1344
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:28,600
Sir.

1345
01:15:29,350 --> 01:15:31,900
And did you interview John Lloyd,

1346
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,910
the man who runs the tavern on Mrs. Surratt's property?

1347
01:15:34,910 --> 01:15:36,560
Yes, right after the assassination.

1348
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,430
And did he tell you that Mrs. Surratt

1349
01:15:40,430 --> 01:15:43,250
asked for rifles and whiskey?

1350
01:15:43,250 --> 01:15:46,470
Yes. Lloyd said Mrs. Surratt asked him to do all those things.

1351
01:15:49,990 --> 01:15:51,730
Uh, excuse me?

1352
01:15:53,380 --> 01:15:56,200
Did we not talk just yesterday?

1353
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:57,090
We did.

1354
01:15:57,290 --> 01:15:59,470
And did you not say

1355
01:15:59,470 --> 01:16:00,530
that Mrs. Surratt never

1356
01:16:00,530 --> 01:16:03,550
asked for whiskey or rifles of John Lloyd?

1357
01:16:04,190 --> 01:16:05,760
I do not deny that.

1358
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,600
And now you're swearing,

1359
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,770
under oath, that what you told me then was a lie.

1360
01:16:10,770 --> 01:16:12,700
Yes. I lied to you 'cause

1361
01:16:12,700 --> 01:16:13,920
I thought you had no business to ask me.

1362
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:15,570
No business? I...

1363
01:16:16,780 --> 01:16:18,120
You're my witness.

1364
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,480
Should I not expect the truth?

1365
01:16:21,370 --> 01:16:23,020
I state here that I did lie to you,

1366
01:16:23,990 --> 01:16:27,150
but under oath, now I'm telling the truth.

1367
01:16:32,980 --> 01:16:35,570
Mr. Holt, do you wish to question the witness?

1368
01:16:35,570 --> 01:16:38,810
Uh, no. I believe what we've heard is more than sufficient.

1369
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,100
Captain, you may step down.

1370
01:16:42,910 --> 01:16:45,390
As you know, tonight marks

1371
01:16:45,390 --> 01:16:47,620
Washington's celebration honoring our troops,

1372
01:16:47,620 --> 01:16:49,890
so we will adjourn.

1373
01:16:57,110 --> 01:16:58,840
It's not enough, is it, Mr. Holt?

1374
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:03,610
It's not enough that you, uh... you set the rules.

1375
01:17:03,610 --> 01:17:04,760
You... You pick the judges.

1376
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,920
Now you have to turn my witness as well.

1377
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:08,370
Counselor, control yourself.

1378
01:17:08,370 --> 01:17:09,820
Control the prosecution.

1379
01:17:09,820 --> 01:17:10,790
Mr. Aiken.

1380
01:17:10,790 --> 01:17:12,520
Every witness I wish to call has

1381
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,480
either been turned by jail or the threat of it.

1382
01:17:14,480 --> 01:17:15,390
That's enough!

1383
01:17:15,390 --> 01:17:18,220
There is no limit to how far the prosecution is willing to go!

1384
01:17:18,220 --> 01:17:21,350
Stand down, counselor, or I will hold you in contempt.

1385
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,000
You had better comport yourself in a more appropriate manner,

1386
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,330
or you will find yourself incarcerated with the others.

1387
01:17:39,100 --> 01:17:40,320
Good evening.

1388
01:17:44,330 --> 01:17:44,900
Good evening, Douglas.

1389
01:17:44,940 --> 01:17:45,980
- Ma'am. - Good evening.

1390
01:17:46,860 --> 01:17:49,810
Mr. Aiken, may I have a word with you?

1391
01:17:49,830 --> 01:17:51,270
Of course. Would you excuse me?

1392
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:54,950
His first day on the job.

1393
01:18:03,860 --> 01:18:07,740

1394
01:18:10,710 --> 01:18:12,080
I'm sorry, Mr. Aiken.

1395
01:18:12,100 --> 01:18:13,570
It's all right, Douglas. It's not your fault.

1396
01:18:14,300 --> 01:18:15,260
Frederick!

1397
01:18:16,580 --> 01:18:19,590
Uh, Nick, would you escort Sarah upstairs for me, please?

1398
01:18:19,590 --> 01:18:21,280
Sure, but, uh...

1399
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,910
- Is everything all right? - Everything's fine.

1400
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:25,720
Come on, Sarah.

1401
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,780
Even with one good leg, I can still outdance him.

1402
01:18:28,780 --> 01:18:29,980
Another night, Nick.

1403
01:18:35,730 --> 01:18:36,570
Sarah.

1404
01:18:37,970 --> 01:18:39,550
Sarah, where are you going?

1405
01:18:40,630 --> 01:18:41,660
"Conduct unbecoming."

1406
01:18:41,710 --> 01:18:43,210
I'm sorry about the party.

1407
01:18:43,250 --> 01:18:45,190
You think I care about the party?

1408
01:18:45,190 --> 01:18:47,050
Please. Everything will be all right. I promise you.

1409
01:18:47,050 --> 01:18:48,390
You are just like that woman,

1410
01:18:48,390 --> 01:18:51,960
ready to go to the gallows for the most pointless cause.

1411
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,300
People do get left behind when you do that.

1412
01:18:54,300 --> 01:18:56,180
I can't ignore what's going on in that courtroom.

1413
01:18:56,260 --> 01:18:58,520
But you can ignore me, us?

1414
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,840
I didn't say that. Please, I have to do this.

1415
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:01,660
Do you?

1416
01:19:01,660 --> 01:19:04,590
I find your devotion to this frightening.

1417
01:19:04,590 --> 01:19:08,190
I waited such a long time for you.

1418
01:19:08,190 --> 01:19:09,560
I'm so sorry.

1419
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,320
I know. But I'm back now.

1420
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,570
No, you're not.

1421
01:19:13,570 --> 01:19:14,630
I am. I... ple...

1422
01:19:14,630 --> 01:19:15,700
Sarah, please, will you just...

1423
01:19:15,700 --> 01:19:18,390
We have to... we have to talk about this.

1424
01:19:18,390 --> 01:19:21,070
Fred, I love you. I...

1425
01:19:21,070 --> 01:19:24,050
I wish I could do this. I just... I can't.

1426
01:19:24,050 --> 01:19:25,970
I just can't.

1427
01:19:25,970 --> 01:19:27,930
Wait. Let me see you home at least.

1428
01:19:27,930 --> 01:19:29,150
Please wait.

1429
01:19:38,770 --> 01:19:39,980
Uh, Mr. Secretary.

1430
01:19:40,610 --> 01:19:41,870
I have to speak with you.

1431
01:19:41,870 --> 01:19:44,760
Mr. Aiken, perhaps this isn't the best time.

1432
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,550
What is happening to Mary Surratt is an abomination.

1433
01:19:47,550 --> 01:19:48,630
Stand down, Captain.

1434
01:19:48,630 --> 01:19:49,550
It's all right.

1435
01:19:49,620 --> 01:19:52,030
Would you escort Mrs. Stanton in?

1436
01:19:52,030 --> 01:19:53,680
I'll just be a moment.

1437
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:54,490
Yes, sir.

1438
01:19:55,860 --> 01:19:57,290
Young man...

1439
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,580
always indebted to you for your courage in the field,

1440
01:20:00,580 --> 01:20:01,880
but you must learn to tread lightly.

1441
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:02,610
Tread lightly?

1442
01:20:02,610 --> 01:20:04,460
I will not tread lightly.

1443
01:20:04,460 --> 01:20:06,280
You have predetermined her fate.

1444
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:09,100
Mary Surratt's fate rests entirely with the Commission.

1445
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:11,450
My concern is preserving our Union.

1446
01:20:11,450 --> 01:20:13,000
Why did I fight for the Union

1447
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,030
if my rights aren't assured?

1448
01:20:14,030 --> 01:20:14,840
You tell me.

1449
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,900
Fine words for rallying the troops, not for running a nation.

1450
01:20:17,900 --> 01:20:19,950
They assassinated our president,

1451
01:20:19,950 --> 01:20:22,240
and someone must be held accountable.

1452
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:23,970
The people want that.

1453
01:20:23,970 --> 01:20:26,600
It's John Surratt you want. You don't even want Mary.

1454
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:27,970
I'll settle for either one.

1455
01:20:27,970 --> 01:20:30,360
If you'll excuse me, my wife is waiting.

1456
01:21:09,870 --> 01:21:11,150

1457
01:21:25,300 --> 01:21:26,340
Mr. Aiken.

1458
01:21:27,050 --> 01:21:27,950
May I come in?

1459
01:21:27,950 --> 01:21:29,630
- It's late. - I know.

1460
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,360
I need you to testify.

1461
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:43,210
Very well.

1462
01:21:43,210 --> 01:21:45,310
I'll tell them my mother's innocent.

1463
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,910
I need you to tell them that your brother is not.

1464
01:21:49,810 --> 01:21:51,180
I won't do it.

1465
01:21:51,180 --> 01:21:54,130
You know what'll happen to her if you don't?

1466
01:21:58,090 --> 01:21:59,170
Anna...

1467
01:21:59,990 --> 01:22:02,020
Your brother does not need to be saved right now.

1468
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:04,130
Your mother does.

1469
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:11,160
Mr. Aiken,

1470
01:22:11,430 --> 01:22:13,600
are there any other witnesses you wish to call?

1471
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:16,840
Uh, yes.

1472
01:22:16,900 --> 01:22:19,400
The... The defense

1473
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,120
would like to call Miss Anna Surratt.

1474
01:22:29,580 --> 01:22:31,100
General Hunter, what is...

1475
01:22:38,420 --> 01:22:39,870
Place your right hand on this Bible.

1476
01:22:39,870 --> 01:22:41,290
Where's my mother?

1477
01:22:41,290 --> 01:22:42,700
Anna, she's just right here,

1478
01:22:42,700 --> 01:22:43,860
behind these men.

1479
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:46,340
Why won't they let me see her?

1480
01:22:46,340 --> 01:22:47,170
I don't know.

1481
01:22:47,910 --> 01:22:50,080
Please, Miss Surratt.

1482
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:56,810
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth

1483
01:22:56,810 --> 01:22:59,000
and nothing but the truth, so help you, God?

1484
01:23:01,780 --> 01:23:02,730
Miss Anna.

1485
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:06,780
I do.

1486
01:23:12,850 --> 01:23:13,910
It'll be all right.

1487
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:17,140
Miss Surratt, can you tell us

1488
01:23:17,140 --> 01:23:18,810
when your brother first became acquainted

1489
01:23:18,810 --> 01:23:20,980
with John Wilkes Booth?

1490
01:23:27,270 --> 01:23:29,920
Miss Surratt, you will answer the question.

1491
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:35,130
I believe my brother met him January last.

1492
01:23:35,990 --> 01:23:37,920
Three months before the assassination.

1493
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:39,930
He must have been mighty

1494
01:23:39,930 --> 01:23:41,790
pleased to have befriended such a famous actor.

1495
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,270
You'll have to ask him.

1496
01:23:44,270 --> 01:23:46,210
Well, I'm sure we'd all like to ask him.

1497
01:23:47,010 --> 01:23:49,480
Your brother proudly called

1498
01:23:49,480 --> 01:23:51,640
himself a friend of Booth's, did he not?

1499
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,720
Mr. Aiken, what are you doing?

1500
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:54,550
Mother!

1501
01:23:54,550 --> 01:23:55,860
Miss Surratt. Miss Surratt, please.

1502
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:58,020
Miss Surratt.

1503
01:24:00,220 --> 01:24:01,670
I never...

1504
01:24:01,670 --> 01:24:05,030
asked what my brother's relationship was to Booth.

1505
01:24:05,030 --> 01:24:07,210
It was at John's invitation

1506
01:24:07,210 --> 01:24:09,550
that he first came to your home, was it not?

1507
01:24:10,150 --> 01:24:10,930
Yes.

1508
01:24:18,530 --> 01:24:20,410
Does this picture of Booth belong to you?

1509
01:24:22,810 --> 01:24:26,060
I found it in a gallery one day,

1510
01:24:26,060 --> 01:24:27,360
and I bought it.

1511
01:24:29,660 --> 01:24:30,660
Your brother must have been

1512
01:24:30,660 --> 01:24:32,460
pleased that you held his friend in such high regard.

1513
01:24:33,140 --> 01:24:35,170
- No. - No?

1514
01:24:36,230 --> 01:24:39,370
No. He told me to tear it up and throw it away.

1515
01:24:39,370 --> 01:24:40,070
Why?

1516
01:24:40,230 --> 01:24:42,120
Why did your brother tell you to destroy

1517
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,290
a photograph of his friend, Booth?

1518
01:24:44,290 --> 01:24:45,850
No, Mr. Aiken!

1519
01:24:45,850 --> 01:24:47,390
- Please. - I beg of you.

1520
01:24:47,390 --> 01:24:48,480
- Please. - Order!

1521
01:24:48,550 --> 01:24:49,800
Miss Surratt, please.

1522
01:24:50,190 --> 01:24:51,720
Answer my question.

1523
01:24:53,700 --> 01:24:56,290
I suppose he was trying to protect us.

1524
01:24:56,730 --> 01:24:59,550
He was trying to protect you and your mother?

1525
01:24:59,550 --> 01:25:00,950
Yes.

1526
01:25:00,950 --> 01:25:03,400
Why would he need to protect his family?

1527
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:10,660
Anna, you have to choose.

1528
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,250
I suppose...

1529
01:25:17,550 --> 01:25:21,150
he and Booth were planning something.

1530
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,370
He was planning something.

1531
01:25:25,300 --> 01:25:26,880
Did you know what?

1532
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:29,260
Of course not.

1533
01:25:30,070 --> 01:25:31,930
When did you last see your brother?

1534
01:25:32,670 --> 01:25:34,470
He left at the beginning of April.

1535
01:25:35,570 --> 01:25:37,380
Days before the assassination.

1536
01:25:37,380 --> 01:25:38,850
Did he tell you where he was going

1537
01:25:38,860 --> 01:25:39,760
or what he might be planning?

1538
01:25:39,830 --> 01:25:41,840
He only said he had to leave.

1539
01:25:42,590 --> 01:25:44,660
And did you or your mother try to stop him?

1540
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:46,440
Yes.

1541
01:25:48,350 --> 01:25:49,780
But we couldn't.

1542
01:25:49,780 --> 01:25:52,200
How could you? He was angry.

1543
01:25:52,210 --> 01:25:54,140
He was frustrated with the war.

1544
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:55,520
He hated the Union.

1545
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,640
He would have done anything in his power,

1546
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:00,610
even risk his own family to aid Booth in his cause.

1547
01:26:00,610 --> 01:26:02,020
But, Miss Surratt, did

1548
01:26:02,020 --> 01:26:04,710
your mother conspire with John Wilkes Booth?

1549
01:26:04,710 --> 01:26:06,460
Absolutely not.

1550
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,760
Thank you.

1551
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:12,690
There are no more questions.

1552
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:17,570
General Hunter, the government understands

1553
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:19,510
why Miss Surratt would be moved

1554
01:26:19,510 --> 01:26:23,030
to the most extraordinary lengths to conceal her mother's guilt,

1555
01:26:23,830 --> 01:26:26,920
including incriminating her own brother.

1556
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,090
My mother is innocent.

1557
01:26:29,170 --> 01:26:31,330
Miss Surratt, you are dismissed.

1558
01:26:31,330 --> 01:26:33,500
The government no longer deems it necessary to hold you.

1559
01:26:33,500 --> 01:26:34,780
You are free to leave.

1560
01:26:34,780 --> 01:26:36,680
I just want to see my mother.

1561
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,540
Please. I'm sorry, mother.

1562
01:26:39,540 --> 01:26:40,970
I'm sorry.

1563
01:26:40,970 --> 01:26:44,110
Please. Please, let me see her.

1564
01:26:48,370 --> 01:26:51,520
Sir, the defense would push for the Commission

1565
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,000
to show some compassion and allow a mother

1566
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,320
to see her daughter for a brief moment only.

1567
01:27:00,020 --> 01:27:02,180
We will reconvene in the morning.

1568
01:27:36,990 --> 01:27:37,980
Frederick, it's me.

1569
01:27:37,980 --> 01:27:39,500
Anna.

1570
01:27:40,150 --> 01:27:42,010
What are you doing here?

1571
01:27:44,710 --> 01:27:49,210
You never asked why I had Booth's photo.

1572
01:27:52,690 --> 01:27:54,610
Tear that up and throw it away.

1573
01:27:54,610 --> 01:27:57,570
That man is gonna get us all in trouble,

1574
01:27:57,580 --> 01:27:58,490
if not worse.

1575
01:28:06,110 --> 01:28:07,440
I should have thrown it away,

1576
01:28:07,440 --> 01:28:09,040
but I didn't.

1577
01:28:18,730 --> 01:28:21,240
So you were infatuated with Booth.

1578
01:28:21,910 --> 01:28:25,810
I swear I didn't know what he was capable of.

1579
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,330
I believe you. But your brother did.

1580
01:28:31,130 --> 01:28:33,300
Can you save my mother without him?

1581
01:28:34,580 --> 01:28:35,680
Can you, Frederick?

1582
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:39,800
Probably not.

1583
01:28:47,480 --> 01:28:48,530
Father Walter!

1584
01:28:50,900 --> 01:28:51,820
Father?

1585
01:28:54,650 --> 01:28:56,990
Will you excuse us for a minute?

1586
01:28:58,870 --> 01:29:00,120
Counselor.

1587
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,140
I need to see John Surratt right away.

1588
01:29:03,750 --> 01:29:05,780
Anna Surratt sent me.

1589
01:29:05,780 --> 01:29:08,440
Well, as I told Miss Surratt,

1590
01:29:08,440 --> 01:29:09,420
I can only pass along a message.

1591
01:29:09,420 --> 01:29:10,670
Where is he?

1592
01:29:12,250 --> 01:29:13,170
I don't know.

1593
01:29:14,090 --> 01:29:15,030
Only that some in the

1594
01:29:15,030 --> 01:29:17,010
church have chosen to provide him sanctuary.

1595
01:29:17,050 --> 01:29:19,300
You don't seem troubled by their choice.

1596
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,860
You prefer he be crucified by this mob?

1597
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:24,980
John is hardly the Prince of Peace.

1598
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:27,330
He's wanted for murder and treason.

1599
01:29:27,330 --> 01:29:29,930
Harboring him is not only immoral, Father, it's illegal.

1600
01:29:30,620 --> 01:29:34,150
Our laws are written here, counselor, our allegiance to God.

1601
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:35,650
You forgive me, Father,

1602
01:29:35,650 --> 01:29:36,900
but that's a bunch of cock and bull.

1603
01:29:37,210 --> 01:29:40,260
Bible bears as many interpretations as anything else.

1604
01:29:41,290 --> 01:29:43,480
Is there a message you wish me to pass along?

1605
01:29:43,910 --> 01:29:45,250
My case summary is tomorrow,

1606
01:29:45,250 --> 01:29:49,250
so you tell John Surratt that unless he surrenders himself,

1607
01:29:49,250 --> 01:29:51,910
his mother will most likely be punished for his crimes.

1608
01:29:56,490 --> 01:29:57,910
Mr. Aiken.

1609
01:30:09,810 --> 01:30:13,190
For the lawyer as well as the soldier,

1610
01:30:13,860 --> 01:30:16,220
there is an equally imperative command.

1611
01:30:17,230 --> 01:30:21,170
That duty is to shelter from injustice the innocent,

1612
01:30:21,660 --> 01:30:24,440
to protect the weak from oppression

1613
01:30:25,180 --> 01:30:26,750
and, when necessity demands,

1614
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:31,300
to rally to the defense of those being wronged.

1615
01:30:33,750 --> 01:30:35,050
After the most thorough

1616
01:30:35,550 --> 01:30:37,830
investigation in our nation's history,

1617
01:30:38,370 --> 01:30:40,470
the government's entire case against Mary Surratt

1618
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:41,910
rests on three acts...

1619
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:44,430
one, her acquaintance with Booth,

1620
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:47,450
two, her alleged instructions to Lloyd,

1621
01:30:48,190 --> 01:30:50,570
and, three, her nonrecognition of Payne.

1622
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,820
It is these three acts that constitute the sum total

1623
01:30:55,510 --> 01:30:56,700
of Mary Surratt's part

1624
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,950
in this traitorous and murderous conspiracy.

1625
01:31:01,100 --> 01:31:04,210
By themselves, they constitute no crime.

1626
01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:06,660
Any one of you or I might have done the same,

1627
01:31:06,910 --> 01:31:10,760
but the government insists she did them with evil intent,

1628
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:13,450
largely based on the testimony of two men,

1629
01:31:13,900 --> 01:31:15,490
John Lloyd and Louis Weichmann.

1630
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:18,010
Yet, at best, the actions

1631
01:31:18,380 --> 01:31:20,320
of these men undermine their credibility,

1632
01:31:21,110 --> 01:31:23,930
and, at worst, they have done the unspeakable...

1633
01:31:24,190 --> 01:31:25,820
they have gained their freedom

1634
01:31:26,270 --> 01:31:29,010
by falsely accusing another of their crime.

1635
01:31:30,650 --> 01:31:33,870
There can be no doubt as to the principal and real reason

1636
01:31:34,610 --> 01:31:35,830
that Mary Surratt is here today.

1637
01:31:36,430 --> 01:31:38,150
It's because of her son, John Surratt.

1638
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,130
He invited Booth into her home. She did not.

1639
01:31:43,020 --> 01:31:46,310
And he hid rifles and ammunition in Lloyd's Tavern.

1640
01:31:46,310 --> 01:31:47,040
She did not.

1641
01:31:48,500 --> 01:31:50,920
If John Surratt was part of this conspiracy,

1642
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:51,690
I pray to God that he receives

1643
01:31:51,690 --> 01:31:52,840
every punishment known to man,

1644
01:31:53,020 --> 01:31:56,050
but if his mother can be convicted

1645
01:31:56,050 --> 01:31:57,680
on such insufficient evidence,

1646
01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:59,550
I tell you none of you are safe.

1647
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:03,810
Members of the Commission,

1648
01:32:05,440 --> 01:32:08,590
do not permit this injustice to Mary Surratt

1649
01:32:08,590 --> 01:32:11,740
by sacrificing our sacred rights out of revenge.

1650
01:32:12,810 --> 01:32:16,060
Too many of us have laid down our lives to preserve them.

1651
01:32:28,020 --> 01:32:29,140
Gentlemen.

1652
01:32:36,130 --> 01:32:40,080
One bullet may have killed our beloved president.

1653
01:32:41,530 --> 01:32:45,710
One bullet, but not one man.

1654
01:32:54,450 --> 01:32:56,150
Sit with me.

1655
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:07,740
Is there any word?

1656
01:33:10,100 --> 01:33:11,690
No. They're still deliberating.

1657
01:33:12,530 --> 01:33:14,240
I mean about my son.

1658
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:19,390
I held him too close.

1659
01:33:23,190 --> 01:33:25,570
I didn't want John turning out like his father,

1660
01:33:25,570 --> 01:33:26,760
so I kept him near.

1661
01:33:30,310 --> 01:33:32,960
And when the war broke out, he wanted to enlist,

1662
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:36,820
but I wouldn't let him.

1663
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:42,930
My son just needed to break free...

1664
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,160
be his own man.

1665
01:33:49,150 --> 01:33:51,010
And this is the way he did it.

1666
01:33:58,030 --> 01:33:59,860
All those in favor?

1667
01:33:59,860 --> 01:34:01,690
Aye.

1668
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:06,940
Well, then, we are all agreed

1669
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:09,650
on the penalty of death for the prisoners

1670
01:34:10,590 --> 01:34:12,640
Herold, Atzerodt and Payne.

1671
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,130
What about the woman?

1672
01:34:22,440 --> 01:34:24,140
Regarding Mary Surratt,

1673
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:27,020
all those in favor, gentlemen?

1674
01:34:44,130 --> 01:34:45,130
No.

1675
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,000
Damn it!

1676
01:34:48,050 --> 01:34:49,300
No.

1677
01:34:52,820 --> 01:34:54,830
No, she must be punished to the full extent.

1678
01:34:54,830 --> 01:34:57,030
I want these people buried and forgotten.

1679
01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:01,610
The majority prefer a more merciful sentence,

1680
01:35:02,860 --> 01:35:06,310
life in prison on account of her age, gender.

1681
01:35:07,630 --> 01:35:09,150
I give Mr. Aiken credit.

1682
01:35:09,150 --> 01:35:10,820
He knew just how to use the daughter.

1683
01:35:11,470 --> 01:35:12,890
It seems so.

1684
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,780
You made my sentiments known to the Commission?

1685
01:35:17,070 --> 01:35:18,480
Their minds are made.

1686
01:35:23,370 --> 01:35:25,280
Then let us change them.

1687
01:35:36,980 --> 01:35:39,390
After mature consideration of the evidence,

1688
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,530
Commission finds you, Mary E. Surratt,

1689
01:35:43,850 --> 01:35:45,480
Guilty...

1690
01:35:46,670 --> 01:35:48,380
Guilty of conspiring to kill and murder

1691
01:35:49,220 --> 01:35:50,390
President Abraham Lincoln,

1692
01:35:51,110 --> 01:35:54,970
Guilty of conspiring to kill and murder

1693
01:35:54,970 --> 01:35:55,980
andrew Johnson, vice president of the United States,

1694
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,170
Guilty of conspiring to kill and murder

1695
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,840
William H. Seward, secretary of State.

1696
01:36:04,300 --> 01:36:05,830
The Commission does therefore sentence you

1697
01:36:07,550 --> 01:36:09,870
to be hanged by the neck until you be dead.

1698
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:23,600
Mary Surratt to meet her doom!

1699
01:36:24,190 --> 01:36:26,640
Four assassins die tomorrow at noon!

1700
01:36:27,010 --> 01:36:27,580
Here you go, sir.

1701
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,640
Mary Surratt to meet her doom!

1702
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:33,530
Four assassins die tomorrow at noon!

1703
01:36:45,580 --> 01:36:48,450
Mr. Surratt. Here, sir.

1704
01:37:09,440 --> 01:37:10,490
There must be something we can do.

1705
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:12,300
You have three options:

1706
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:14,690
Petition the president for a stay of execution...

1707
01:37:15,380 --> 01:37:16,680
but, uh, he won't do that,

1708
01:37:16,990 --> 01:37:17,930
because if he did,

1709
01:37:17,930 --> 01:37:19,790
people would think he was part of the conspiracy.

1710
01:37:20,550 --> 01:37:22,780
Uh, two, apply for a writ of habeas corpus

1711
01:37:22,830 --> 01:37:24,330
to retry her in a civilian court,

1712
01:37:24,370 --> 01:37:26,290
but no judge would oppose Stanton

1713
01:37:26,330 --> 01:37:28,620
or the might of the War Department.

1714
01:37:28,670 --> 01:37:32,330
Uh, and, three, John Surratt

1715
01:37:32,380 --> 01:37:35,130
shows himself before noon tomorrow.

1716
01:37:35,170 --> 01:37:36,960
Are you going somewhere?

1717
01:37:37,010 --> 01:37:39,220
I have business in Baltimore.

1718
01:37:39,260 --> 01:37:40,260
What?

1719
01:37:40,300 --> 01:37:42,260
You... You can't leave now!

1720
01:37:44,100 --> 01:37:45,260
It's over.

1721
01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:51,810
Freddie, she's not your mother.

1722
01:37:52,860 --> 01:37:55,610
If John Surratt won't give himself up for her,

1723
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:57,320
then why should you?

1724
01:38:04,030 --> 01:38:06,030
Freddie!

1725
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,260
Frederick Sebastian Aiken,

1726
01:38:08,260 --> 01:38:08,950
we know you're in there!

1727
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,540
Open the door now. Come on.

1728
01:38:11,580 --> 01:38:13,880
Fred... ah, there he is.

1729
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:17,170
Well, if it isn't the reclusive Master Aiken.

1730
01:38:18,010 --> 01:38:19,340
We thought you could use this.

1731
01:38:20,630 --> 01:38:22,510
Hamilton, how well do you know Judge Olin?

1732
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:24,600
What are you doing?

1733
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:26,470
You think he'll give me a writ of habeas corpus?

1734
01:38:26,510 --> 01:38:27,850
You can't pursue a writ.

1735
01:38:27,890 --> 01:38:29,430
They won't allow me to appeal this verdict,

1736
01:38:29,480 --> 01:38:30,980
so I'm gonna appeal for a new trial.

1737
01:38:31,020 --> 01:38:32,560
If you do this, you will humiliate Stanton,

1738
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:34,020
and he will destroy you.

1739
01:38:34,060 --> 01:38:35,520
The hell with Stanton.

1740
01:38:35,570 --> 01:38:38,440
Why do you... Why do you insist on standing by her?

1741
01:38:38,480 --> 01:38:40,240
Hey. Hey, it makes no sense.

1742
01:38:41,110 --> 01:38:42,910
What they're doing to her is wrong.

1743
01:38:42,950 --> 01:38:45,490
If John Wilkes Booth himself was tried in the same manner,

1744
01:38:45,530 --> 01:38:47,870
it would still be wrong.

1745
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:52,410
Hamilton, she's to hang in less than 12 hours.

1746
01:38:53,580 --> 01:38:55,130
Judge Olin's out of town.

1747
01:38:55,170 --> 01:38:56,790
He would have been my first choice.

1748
01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:57,960
What about Wylie?

1749
01:38:58,000 --> 01:38:59,380
Maybe Wylie.

1750
01:38:59,420 --> 01:39:02,340
He's, uh- -he's always been known as a Free Thinker.

1751
01:39:02,380 --> 01:39:03,850
Yes. He's been around for ages,

1752
01:39:03,860 --> 01:39:05,470
but he was the closest to Lincoln.

1753
01:39:05,510 --> 01:39:06,390
Then what about Carter?

1754
01:39:06,430 --> 01:39:07,690
Not a chance. He was with

1755
01:39:07,690 --> 01:39:09,810
Stanton on the night of the assassination.

1756
01:39:09,850 --> 01:39:11,770
Besides, they have dinner together once a week.

1757
01:39:11,810 --> 01:39:14,060
Then you're saying that Wylie is my best option.

1758
01:39:14,100 --> 01:39:16,650
No. Your best option is to stop this nonsense

1759
01:39:16,690 --> 01:39:18,360
and help us empty this bottle.

1760
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:20,070
Better listen to the man.

1761
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:36,920
Judge Wylie?

1762
01:39:37,630 --> 01:39:41,090
I, uh... I need to apply for a writ of habeas corpus.

1763
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:43,590
At this hour of the night?

1764
01:39:43,630 --> 01:39:45,050
I'm sorry, sir. It can't wait.

1765
01:39:45,090 --> 01:39:47,390
Interrupting an old man's sleep?

1766
01:39:47,430 --> 01:39:50,560
I'd say you're getting off on the wrong foot, son.

1767
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:51,890
It's for Mary Surratt.

1768
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:06,280
A new trial...

1769
01:40:07,370 --> 01:40:11,030
in a civil court by a jury of her peers.

1770
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:12,580
Is that what you want, Mr. Aiken?

1771
01:40:12,620 --> 01:40:14,080
Yes, please, Your Honor.

1772
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:18,040
So we can relive our president's assassination all over again.

1773
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:19,000
That's not my intention.

1774
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:20,670
Then to what intent?

1775
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:24,550
Might this not result in exactly the same thing?

1776
01:40:24,590 --> 01:40:26,190
Perhaps, but results

1777
01:40:26,190 --> 01:40:28,590
should not be our only measure of justice.

1778
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:31,100
Are you going to lecture me on justice?

1779
01:40:31,140 --> 01:40:32,140
Sorry, sir.

1780
01:40:32,180 --> 01:40:36,730
You realize that I was personally appointed by President Lincoln.

1781
01:40:36,770 --> 01:40:37,770
Yes.

1782
01:40:37,810 --> 01:40:40,150
And yet you still come to me.

1783
01:40:41,270 --> 01:40:43,400
Forgive me, Your Honor,

1784
01:40:43,440 --> 01:40:48,030
but are we not obligated to follow the law at all times,

1785
01:40:48,070 --> 01:40:49,660
regardless of our emotions?

1786
01:40:49,700 --> 01:40:51,740
And is this not driven by emotions?

1787
01:40:51,780 --> 01:40:52,870
Isn't that what this is all about?

1788
01:40:52,910 --> 01:40:54,620
It's about preventing injustice.

1789
01:40:55,910 --> 01:40:57,870
Now, I know that the people are still angry.

1790
01:40:57,920 --> 01:40:59,500
Yes, they are, and so am I.

1791
01:40:59,540 --> 01:41:02,350
But I hope, I trust that President Lincoln

1792
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:06,470
appointed you because you hold the Constitution sacred.

1793
01:41:06,510 --> 01:41:09,720
Whether you believe Mary Surratt is guilty or innocent,

1794
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:11,260
the Constitution was intended...

1795
01:41:11,300 --> 01:41:12,890
And now you're gonna lecture me on the Constitution.

1796
01:41:12,930 --> 01:41:14,240
...to protect the rights

1797
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:16,680
of all citizens at all times in peace or war.

1798
01:41:16,730 --> 01:41:18,310
And in a matter of hours,

1799
01:41:18,350 --> 01:41:21,860
it will have failed to protect her unless you sign that writ.

1800
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:25,650
You believe she's innocent?

1801
01:41:25,690 --> 01:41:28,400
I don't know.

1802
01:41:28,450 --> 01:41:30,640
But if we don't get a proper trial,

1803
01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:32,320
we never will.

1804
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:36,660
You can't go in there! Wait!

1805
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,830
I'm so sorry, Mr. Secretary. I tried to stop him.

1806
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:46,000
It's all right.

1807
01:41:56,770 --> 01:41:57,970
Good morning, Joseph.

1808
01:41:58,020 --> 01:41:59,060
Good morning.

1809
01:41:59,100 --> 01:42:00,340
It appears that Mr. Aiken

1810
01:42:00,340 --> 01:42:03,480
has procured a writ signed by Judge Wylie.

1811
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:04,690
Good day.

1812
01:42:04,730 --> 01:42:07,530
Before you go, Captain,

1813
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:09,360
tell me...

1814
01:42:10,740 --> 01:42:13,700
when you first learned that our secretary of State

1815
01:42:13,740 --> 01:42:15,240
had been butchered to within an inch of his life

1816
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:16,470
and that they put a bullet

1817
01:42:16,470 --> 01:42:18,330
in the back of our president's head,

1818
01:42:18,370 --> 01:42:20,000
when this city was in chaos,

1819
01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:21,810
did you not wish to see order restored

1820
01:42:21,810 --> 01:42:23,670
and justice served,

1821
01:42:23,710 --> 01:42:26,120
or were you just concerned with

1822
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:28,130
the rights of the assassins?

1823
01:42:28,170 --> 01:42:31,050
It's not justice you're after. It's revenge.

1824
01:42:32,050 --> 01:42:35,680
I would never go to such lengths out of vengeance,

1825
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:38,940
but to ensure the survival of this nation,

1826
01:42:38,940 --> 01:42:40,850
I would do anything.

1827
01:42:42,020 --> 01:42:44,640
Mary Surratt was a party to the most

1828
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:46,820
grievous crime in our history.

1829
01:42:46,860 --> 01:42:50,550
Necessity demands that she be given a swift,

1830
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,570
sure and harsh sentence.

1831
01:42:52,610 --> 01:42:56,870
I, too, hold sacred our rights, counselor,

1832
01:42:56,910 --> 01:43:00,280
but they count not at all

1833
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:02,250
if our nation ceases to exist.

1834
01:43:03,500 --> 01:43:05,130
Please see to it that Mary Surratt

1835
01:43:05,170 --> 01:43:07,730
is delivered to Judge Wylie's courtroom

1836
01:43:07,730 --> 01:43:08,460
no later than noon...

1837
01:43:08,590 --> 01:43:09,590
sir.

1838
01:43:19,930 --> 01:43:21,770
Let's go. Come on. Stay there.

1839
01:43:32,900 --> 01:43:34,950
You will have to stand trial again,

1840
01:43:34,990 --> 01:43:37,740
but it will be a civilian trial.

1841
01:43:37,780 --> 01:43:39,030
And a civilian trial has no generals.

1842
01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:40,410
That's correct. No generals.

1843
01:43:42,460 --> 01:43:43,830
Bless you, son.

1844
01:43:43,870 --> 01:43:45,370
Bless you.

1845
01:43:49,670 --> 01:43:51,090
Oh, Mama.

1846
01:43:51,130 --> 01:43:52,130
Anna.

1847
01:43:58,100 --> 01:44:00,220
Should only be three.

1848
01:44:04,730 --> 01:44:05,850
It's time, ma'am.

1849
01:44:07,100 --> 01:44:08,360
What are you doing?

1850
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,110
We need to prepare her with the others.

1851
01:44:10,150 --> 01:44:13,650
No. No, she is to be transferred to Judge Wylie's court.

1852
01:44:13,690 --> 01:44:15,990
I advise sedating the young lady.

1853
01:44:16,030 --> 01:44:17,770
- You'll do no such thing. - Anna.

1854
01:44:17,770 --> 01:44:21,410
I have procured a writ that says she is to get a new trial.

1855
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,040
President just suspended your writ.

1856
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:33,420
I'm sorry.

1857
01:44:33,460 --> 01:44:35,220
She's to hang with the others.

1858
01:44:35,260 --> 01:44:36,260
No.

1859
01:44:36,300 --> 01:44:38,390
No. Frederick, do something.

1860
01:44:40,050 --> 01:44:42,390
I...

1861
01:44:42,430 --> 01:44:44,560
I'm so sorry.

1862
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:46,060
Oh, no.

1863
01:44:46,100 --> 01:44:47,560
No. No, no, no, no.

1864
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:48,900
No, Mama. No. No, Mama. No.

1865
01:44:48,940 --> 01:44:50,400
I'll always be with you.

1866
01:44:50,440 --> 01:44:53,530
No! No! Oh, Mama, no!

1867
01:44:53,570 --> 01:44:55,820
I love you, Anna. I love you.

1868
01:44:55,860 --> 01:44:57,240
No!

1869
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,360
Oh, God, no!

1870
01:45:00,870 --> 01:45:02,870
Mama!

1871
01:45:22,890 --> 01:45:26,390

1872
01:45:28,060 --> 01:45:31,310
In times of war, the law falls silent.

1873
01:45:31,980 --> 01:45:33,570
It shouldn't.

1874
01:45:37,990 --> 01:45:40,290
Word is the last Confederate general

1875
01:45:40,290 --> 01:45:42,410
surrendered to Union troops.

1876
01:45:42,450 --> 01:45:43,740
Peace.

1877
01:45:43,780 --> 01:45:45,240
Peace at last.

1878
01:47:57,710 --> 01:47:59,540
I am hereby commanded

1879
01:47:59,590 --> 01:48:01,380
to cause David E. Herold,

1880
01:48:01,420 --> 01:48:03,170
G. A. Atzerodt,

1881
01:48:03,220 --> 01:48:04,920
Lewis Payne

1882
01:48:04,970 --> 01:48:07,890
and Mary E. Surratt

1883
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:10,350
to be executed

1884
01:48:10,390 --> 01:48:11,490
in accordance with the

1885
01:48:11,490 --> 01:48:13,680
order of the president of the United States,

1886
01:48:13,730 --> 01:48:15,020
Andrew Johnson.

1887
01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:26,950
The Almighty God bless you.

1888
01:49:08,530 --> 01:49:10,200
Stand your prisoners up.

1889
01:49:13,620 --> 01:49:14,830
Step them to the noose.

1890
01:50:55,460 --> 01:50:59,460

1891
01:50:59,460 --> 01:51:00,640
Okay, sir. I'll show you where he's at...

1892
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:02,060
No, I know the way.

1893
01:51:23,830 --> 01:51:25,540
Mr. Aiken.

1894
01:51:27,210 --> 01:51:28,960
I didn't think you'd come.

1895
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,510
I don't know what help I can be to you.

1896
01:51:32,420 --> 01:51:33,930
I've left the law.

1897
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:35,800
I just wanted to thank you

1898
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:38,350
for the kindness that you showed my mother.

1899
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:41,520
Believe me, Mr. Aiken,

1900
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:43,560
I never thought they'd kill her.

1901
01:51:54,700 --> 01:51:57,280
Father Walter asked that I give you these.

1902
01:51:58,450 --> 01:52:00,200
They were your mother's.

1903
01:52:02,790 --> 01:52:05,830
I hope they can be of some comfort to you.

1904
01:52:07,790 --> 01:52:09,250
They belong to you.

1905
01:52:11,420 --> 01:52:13,760
You were more of a son to her than I ever was.

1906
01:52:24,310 --> 01:52:25,390
Thank you.
