    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The Surratt boarding house still stands in Washington, DC's Chinatown.
    • Goofs
      When Booth is trapped and killed, he still has his distinctive mustache. He shaved his face soon after he killed Abraham Lincoln, to make himself less recognizable.
    • Quotes
      • Edwin Stanton: Young man... always indebted to you for your courage in the field, but you must learn to tread lightly.
      • Frederick Aiken: Tread lightly? I will not tread lightly. You have predetermined her fate.
      • Edwin Stanton: Mary Surratt's fate rests entirely with the Commission. My concern is preserving our Union.
      • Frederick Aiken: Why did I fight for the Union if my rights aren't assured? You tell me.
      • Edwin Stanton: Fine words for rallying the troops, not for running a nation. They assassinated our president, and someone must be held accountable. The people want that.
      • Frederick Aiken: It's John Surratt you want. You don't even want Mary.
      • Edwin Stanton: I'll settle for either one.
