I'll need it back for hunting.
I prefer shooting.
Hey.
The medicine.
Why am I killing this guy again?

[CITIZEN 2] It's the president.
[KNOCKING]
- What is it?
- There's been a break-in at Seward's.
- What? Was anyone hurt?
- [INHALES DEEPLY]
Uh, the messenger didn't know much.
[SIGHS]
Tell Eckert to meet me there.
I'll come with you.
No. Find Eckert.
- I heard everything.
- Hell. Poor Bill.
[GRUNTS] First the carriage
accident, and now this.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- And I was I was just there. [GRUNTS]
So, now you you check on break-ins?
It's Bill. He would check on me.
- [GRUNTS]
- Have you ever met a
problem you could delegate?
This boy's as tyrannical
as the president.
Whoa.
Can you handle it?
They assigned me to a scene shift.
You will make sure you look
after my stallion as agreed.
How am I supposed to be
two places at once, huh?
[SHUSHES]
Listen, I was born with
chances to be somebody.
How many chances you got?
I'll be at the saloon till it's
time for the big punch line.
He'll be ready for you.
[KISSES]
- [HORSE WHINNIES]
- [DRIVER] Whoa.
[SOLDIERS CLAMORING]
How many vandals were there?
They're all saying it was one man.
Was, uh Was someone hurt?
Secretary Seward was stabbed.
You call for medics?
[ECKERT] Surgeon's upstairs
with the secretary now.
Freddie
what happened?
- [RESIDENT 2] Edwin.
- [SURGEON] We had to sedate him.
H-He didn't take his watch.
He didn't take my jewelry.
He came straight for my father.
[CRIES] Why would anyone
butcher a defenseless,
injured old man in his bed? [CRIES]
If it weren't for the brace,
he would have hit an artery.
[CRYING]
You read them.
Yeah, we're down to raisins.
Let me know when there's
news from Appomattox. [SIGHS]
[TELEGRAPHER] We're on pins
and needles with you, sir.
I should write. We're so close to
triumph, who could work? [CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
When you say we're down to raisins,
where did you get that from?
Never heard of it.
Oh, when I was a child, I I went
to a little girl's birthday party,
and she had too much of her cake,
and she spent the afternoon vomiting.
So the doctor was sent for,
and he asked the parents,
"What was the first
thing she ate that day?"
- We're down to raisins. [CHUCKLES]
- Oh.
Talking of which, tell Grant I
don't give a damn about his headache.
- I need news from Appomattox.
- I'll try him again.
[LINCOLN] Well, to finish the story,
when the doctor had left, he said,
"It's nothing concerning.
You'll know she's done being sick
when she gets down to the raisins."
So sure enough, we all gathered round.
[CHUCKLING] The last time
that little girl retched,
- we had a puddle of raisins.
- [TELEGRAPHER CHUCKLES]
[TELEGRAPH TICKING]
News from Grant?
Not Appomattox. Sherman expects
to have news about Raleigh shortly.
Secretary Stanton, time for your exam?
No, not now.
- Avoiding me doesn't cure asthma.
- [CHUCKLES]
He's about to negotiate a
lasting peace with Cain and Abel,
so [STAMMERS] you let it rest.
I need to know if they have the-the
terms of surrender. [CLEARS THROAT]
[ECKERT] Here we go.
- Is that him?
- [TELEGRAPH TICKING]
[CLEARS THROAT]
[TICKING STOPS]
Mr. President.
Lee has surrendered at Appomattox.
He has accepted our terms fully.
[CHEERING, LAUGHING]
We did it. We won.
Well done.
[WHEEZING]
[CHEERING, LAUGHING]
Eckert. [CLEARS THROAT] Um,
tell the Cabinet, tell Congress.
Um, send the, uh, following
words to the press.
Uh, General Lee and his army
surrendered today, April 9th, 1865.
The, um The Confederacy is dead.
The Union is saved.
Uh, send it. Send it.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING, LAUGHING]
- Cain and Abel made amends.
- [WHEEZES]
See your doctor.
[COUGHING]
- [RESIDENT 2] Don't go too far.
- [GRUNTS, BREATHES HEAVILY]
I have no patience for this.
Mr. Secretary. How are you feeling?
- Ask me that when I haven't jumped
- Jumped from a a crashing carriage.
[CHUCKLES]
- There's news.
- [SEWARD STUTTERS]
You did very well today. More later?
[SEWARD] Yeah.
- Secretary Stanton.
- Fanny.
What news?
[CLEARS THROAT]
It's over.
[LAUGHING]
I lived to see the day. [LAUGHS]
Tell me everything you know.
They had to accept the terms
of their defeat from an officer
of the Seneca Tribe.
- [CHUCKLES] Oh, my. [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah.
- That's good.
- And it gets better.
Lee's army was without a white flag.
So they surrendered to
us with a dish towel.
- [LAUGHS] Don't make
- [CHUCKLES]
I'll draft a press release for
the international community.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
But we should refrain from
claiming a conclusive blow
until every major general
knows the fight is over,
and their side has accepted it.
The press already know.
I've, uh I've ordered
cannon fire, illumination.
Everyone is ready to celebrate, Bill.
Lee surrendered.
[GRUNTS] Lee and his
followers can be extremists.
Bill, celebrate. We
won the damn thing. Hmm?
[GRUNTS] I'll celebrate when
they show us no more bloodshed.
[PEOPLE CHEERING, CHATTERING]
Do I know you from somewhere?
[INHALES DEEPLY] John Wilkes Booth.
Booth. That's it.
I've seen you in some of those
side roles of the long fights.
That's where I know you
from. Very good to meet you.
- Oh. Likewise.
- Yeah.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Say, you, uh you
look smaller in person.
But the women you must meet. [CHUCKLES]
[SCOFFS] You know, I
can't be seen some places.
[INHALES DEEPLY] These poor fans
will tear my clothes right off.
These women, they see me on stage,
and I don't know what comes over them,
but they think they know me.
You like the stage?
Do I like the stage? [CHUCKLING]
Well, you move around a lot.
Do the same lines, eight shows a week.
- [STAMMERS] It's a pretend life.
- [PEOPLE LAUGHING]
What's that? I can barely hear you.
The liquor's flying off the shelves.
Ah, let 'em celebrate.
They'll be sorry by next Easter
when they realize they've given
away their whole country to niggers.
Thanks to Lincoln.
- You know he's a fan of yours.
- [CHUCKLES] Yes.
[CHUCKLES] Yes, I've read that.
No, he told me.
I guard him when he
requests it. Like tonight.
Wait, so you you left the play?
[SCOFFS] He doesn't need
me once everyone's seated.
[SIGHS]
Jessie. [CHUCKLES]
Hey, say, you got any mail for me?
- I will take a look.
- Good man.
Good man. Can I ask you something?
How come I'm not up there?
Your show closed.
Yeah, but Yeah, my pa and
brother, they're always up.
They are legends.
Here. You did have some post.
Thank you.
[JESSIE CHUCKLES] Lucky guy.
[CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES]
What's the, uh, patriotic fuss for?
President Lincoln is attending
Our American Cousin tonight.
[DOOR SLAMS]
If it be not now
yet it will come.
The readiness is all.
[SIGHS]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[MUFFLED BAR CHATTER]
- [CHATTER RESUMES, NORMAL]
- You, sir, are an honest chap.
- Well, thank you.
- We'll have another!
This is on me. I like
you. I like you a lot.
I appreciate the hospitality.
[CHUCKLES] Hey, cheers.
[GRUNTS]
You won't mind me saying,
I think you'd be much more famous,
like your brother or your pa,
if you played the heroes. Why don't you?
[SNIFFS] You know, tomorrow,
I'm gonna be more famous
than anyone in my family.
Yeah?
I'm gonna be the most famous
man in the whole world.
- Really? What show you in?
- Yes, sir.
Our American Cousin.
Why I ain't seen you on stage?
I haven't made my entrance yet.
[CLICKS TONGUE, CHUCKLES]
Mmm. God bless America.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING]
- Miss Mary Meredith! Oh, I'm delighted.
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
Delighted?
[ACTOR] Yes, you both
look tickled to death.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
[ACTOR] Now, some gals and
mothers would go away from a fellow
when they found out, but you
don't value fortune, Miss Gusty.
[MISS GUSTY] My love, you had better go.
No, you crave affections, you do. Hmm?
Now, I've no fortune,
- but I'm spilling over with affections.
- [MUTTERING]
- [GASPS]
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
[ACTOR] Now I'm ready to
pour out all over you
[AUDIENCE GASPS, GROANS]
- like apple sass over roast pork.
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[ACTOR 2] Mr. Trenchard,
you will please recollect that
you are addressing my daughter
- and in my presence.
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[TRENCHARD] Yes, I'm offering her
my heart and hand as she wants them.
[FIREWORKS EXPLODING]
Peanuts, got a scene shift.
Need you to watch this horse.
- I restock the lobby now.
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Whose horse is it anyway?
Why don't you mind your
business, you half-breed mongrel?
Just watch the horse like I said.
[TRENCHARD] with nothing in 'em.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Augusta, dear, to your room.
Yes, Ma. The nasty beast.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[MA] I am aware, Mr.
Trenchard, you are not used to
- the manners of good society
- [WHISPERS] Manners of good society.
and that, alone, will
excuse the impertinence
of which you have been guilty.
[TRENCHARD] Don't know the
manners of good society, hey?
Well, I guess I know enough to
turn you inside out, old gal.
[LAUGHING]
- You sockdologizing old man-trap.
- [WHISPERS] Sockdologizing old man-trap.
[LAUGHING, APPLAUDING]
Freedom for the South!
[GASPS]
- [PEOPLE SHOUTING, CLAMORING]
- [GRUNTING]
[GRUNTS]
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Someone shot the president!
- [SHOUTING, CLAMORING]
- [ATTENDEE] We have a man murdered!
He's the one who did it!
[PANTING, GRUNTING]
[PURSUER] Stop him!
He shot the president!
[CREW MEMBER] That way. Out the back.
- [PURSUER] Hurry. Hurry!
- [CREW MEMBER] Stop him, damn it!
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING, GRUNTING]
- [GRUNTING] Let me out!
- [STRAINING]
[PURSUER] He shot the president!
Sir, wh-what if [GRUNTING, GROANS]
- Hyah!
- [PURSUER] He shot the president!
Stop him!
[GRUNTS] Ah!
Will the secretary live?
The footman found this.
The assailant was wearing that.
What did he look like?
About my age.
No. I'd say he's younger.
How did he break in?
I swear I didn't mean
to let him past me.
He said he had medicine with him.
[STANTON] He came
through the front door?
He had a genuine pharmacy box.
Seemed legitimate, so I I
didn't think he was dangerous.
Is the president still at the play?
- [ECKERT] I think so. It's a long play.
- Who did we send with him?
- Parker.
- Okay. Organize a search party.
If Bell can travel, take him with you.
[PANTING]
[STANTON] Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
[BOOTH] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
The bridge closed at 9:00.
- Yeah, I gotta pass, you understand?
- I understand closed means closed.
No, sir, I gotta pass now! This
is the only way to my destination.
And I said the bridge closed at 9:00.
[PANTING] Sir, I gotta pass right now.
And I gotta please my wife every night
and make sure my
daughter marries a baron.
[SMACKS LIPS]
[PANTING]
Look. [SIGHS, SNIFFS] I, uh
I promised my fiancée that
I would visit her tonight.
[CHUCKLES] You should've
left before 9:00.
Let me ask you something.
You ever disappoint a lady?
What's your name?
[CLICKS TONGUE] It's embarrassing.
You may have heard of it. [SNIFFS]
Booth?
[CHUCKLING] My wife, she loves
watching you on that stage
- doing all that fake fighting you do.
- Yes. [CHUCKLES]
- I can't believe I didn't recognize you.
- Hmm. [STAMMERS]
You're so much smaller in person.
Yeah. [SNIFFS]
So, can I
Yep. Come on.
I loved Hamlet.
- [PEOPLE CLAMORING]
- [STANTON] Hey! Giddap.
Hey, hey! Whoa.
Parker.
- The president's been shot.
- Shot? Who shot him?
Witnesses are saying it
was John Wilkes Booth.
- The The actor?
- [PARKER] Yeah, John Wilkes Booth.
- Wait a minute. Witnesses say?
- [GRUNTING]
Where were you?
Parker, where were you? Huh?
Sir. Will the president live, sir?
[PARKER] Go home, folks.
Play's over. Go home.
Sir. Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War.
Sir.
- [TENANT] What is the disturbance?
- Go to your beds.
- There's nothing to see here.
- What is the disturbance?
- [CLAMORING]
- Edwin?
How could you let him go to the play?
- The war only ended five days ago.
- No, Robert.
- You pushed him to [SIGHS]
- Robert. Where is he?
Freeing Negroes and offering them
the vote was too much too fast.
- Robert, where is he?
- What did you think would happen?
[MRS. LINCOLN] I'm telling you, he
needs his wife. He needs his wife!
- I'm right here. I'm right here.
- [DOCTOR] Ma'am, please listen to me.
- Men are trying to help him.
- [MRS. LINCOLN] I'm here.
- No. [SOBS] They have to

[SOBBING] No, please. He has
to He's going He's
- Oh, no. [SOBBING]
- [STANTON] Mary.
You! Where were you, Parker?
Huh? You left him!
You were supposed to watch
him. This is your fault, Parker.
You incompetent If he dies
- If my husband dies If Abe [SOBS]
- I'm truly sorry, ma'am.
- Parker.
- [MARY] Oh, God.
Have I given my husband to die? [SOBS]
- Mary.
- I've given him to die. [SOBS]
- I've given my husband to die. [SOBS]

And he was laying in
wait at the Kirkwood Hotel
for the vice president.
[CLEARS THROAT] Does
he Does he know Booth?
Well, he claims Booth tasked
him with killing Johnson.
But he lost his nerve.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[STAMMERS] Where's Johnson?
[BREATHING HEAVILY] In his room.
Lock down the city.
Assign protection to the
Cabinet and the Court.
[STAMMERS] They tried to topple us?
Yeah.
[BOOTH GROANS]
[PANTING]
[HORSE BLUSTERS]
Hello?
It's me. It's me.
[BREATHES HEAVILY] Davey.
You did it?
Davey, I literally broke a leg.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
It's done. [CHUCKLES]
And Powell? H-How's Powell?
He did it? He's all right?
I think so.

Abraham Lincoln [STAMMERS]
died this morning
22 minutes after 7:00.
The president of these United States
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
has been assassinated. [SIGHS]
[ECKERT] We need a second
drawer for death threats.
[GROANS] No. Hopefully
one of the last. [SIGHS]
[GRUNTS] You're happy.
[CHUCKLES] What happened?
We have the votes for Reconstruction.
I could not have done this without you.
The Thirteenth's as
good as ratified now.
- Yes! Yes.
- [CHUCKLES]
Where, um So, uh,
where should we start?
We should expand aid to
freedpeople immediately.
To distribute land, food and medicine
to colored families, and fast.
Rebel prisoners. All
right, your plan or mine?
- Can we talk about that tomorrow?
- Okay. All right, all right. [CHUCKLES]
I'm taking Mary to see Our
American Cousin at Ford's tonight.
I I'd like you to join us with Ellen.
Uh, what what happened to Grant?
Friends thou hast, and
their adoption tried.
Grapple them to thy
soul with hoops of steel.
Unless they'd rather take a train
to New Jersey over my company.
Oh, he he went home?
Yeah, he claims he wanna wake up
in his house with his children.
I'm hardly one to begrudge
a paternal instinct,
but I'm fortune's fool
to have spare tickets
and no one important to share 'em with.
Come to a play, Mars.
I'd pay to see you laugh.
- Abe, you you know what I'm gonna say.
- [LINCOLN CHUCKLES]
Wow, those more death threats coming?
Well, if they wanna kill
me, they would've done it
when we issued the Proclamation,
or when I won a second term,
or the inauguration.
Let's laugh and forget ourselves.
Come on, Mars.
Take your wife out before
she forgets your face.
- Abe, no.
- No. No. All right.
- All right. Give me my ball.
- [STANTON] Abe.
Enough. Now I gotta spend
the night with Mary's friends.
You owe me.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [SIGHS] Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
[SMACKS LIPS]
Send somebody with him. [STAMMERS]
[SOFTLY] Yeah.
[BELL TOLLING]
This is the best we
could do on short notice.
Well [SIGHS] in his heart,
he was still a rail-splitter.
You can bring it in.
Bring it in.
[BAGPIPE PLAYING]
[PEOPLE CRYING]
[PLAYING CONTINUES]
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [BELL TOLLING]
[JESSIE] I should have a photograph
from the run he did
here a few weeks ago.
But if you're war secretary,
how come you don't assign
a task like this to a clerk?
You got a little brother?
You let him solve your problems?
My lady says I never met a
challenge I could delegate.
Secretary,
was it your responsibility to
protect the commander in chief?
Sanford Conover of the
New-York Tribune. D.C. desk.
This is a crime scene.
The first American president
was assassinated on your watch.
How?
You need to leave, or
I'll have you arrested.
Is there no longer a free press?
[STANTON SCOFFS]
You care more about the rights
of the Negro than men like us?
[STANTON] I care about the
country we were about to repair.
Is that possible now?
You want a story, Conover?
Get Brady.
Tell him to photograph this
theater like a battlefield.
And then meet me at Petersen's.
[JESSIE] Here you are.
[STANTON] What's he known
for, uh, besides his family?
[JESSIE] You've never seen him perform?
I'm not much of a theater man.
Booth plays supporting roles,
but audiences mostly
know him for his stunts.
Especially now, I'm afraid.
[ECKERT] Witnesses
saw someone give chase.
Tall man sitting in the front row.
Seems to be the only one
who thought to go after him.
We're looking for him.
How does a well-known actor commit
murder in front of an audience
of 1,500 people
and escape?
Booth performed here recently, right?
Yep. [SIGHS]
He knows the staff.
[STANTON] Were you here last night?
I was out back.
What's your name?
Um, Joseph Burroughs,
but everyone calls me "Peanuts."
You see Booth get away?
He left on horseback.
What did Booth's horse look like?
[PEANUTS] Brown.
[STANTON] Just brown?
A white star on his face.
You see which way he rode?
Down H Street.
To Anacostia.
- That's the Navy Bridge.
- Mm-hmm.
Unless he stopped for a beer,
he's in he's in Maryland.
[PEANUTS] City horse he was riding.
It's gonna need some horse feed soon.
We'll release a
description of the horse.
And let's let's ban
horse feed in Maryland.
Uh, maybe we can slow him down.
Did anyone help Booth escape?
I had no idea whose horse that was.
He made me guard Booth's getaway horse.
Who did?
Ned.
Look, I had no idea that he
was that he was gonna try to
Um, Booth clubbed me with a dagger.
I tried to stop him, but
[STAMMERS] You're not in
trouble, and I believe you.
Who's Ned?
Ned Spangler.
He's a friend of Booth's.
He held the door open for him.
[STANTON] Ned Spangler?
US War Department.
- Hell. [GRUNTING]
- [ECKERT GRUNTS] Come on. Get him.
- I had nothing to do with it!
- Move.
- Oh, I never asked.
- [SPANGLER GRUNTS]
I just work at the theater.
Is that why you held
the door open for him?
Who told you that?
[SHOUTING] Who told you that?
[ECKERT] Go! Get in there.
[LOCK CLICKS]
[CITIZENS MURMURING]
Well [INHALES DEEPLY]
this will disturb people. [SIGHS]
[GRUNTS] They should be.
How large is the manhunt for Booth?
Tell your readers that we will find,
capture and prosecute John Wilkes Booth
to the fullest extent of the law.
Has Booth triggered a new civil
war where we have to prepare
for surprise attacks by civilians?
We united the states,
and we still have the laws
and institutions we need
to protect our democracy.
Secretary, one last thing.
Last night, people told
me they were afraid.
What if Booth What if
Booth weakened our democracy?
Booth is an anomaly.
This is America.
We replace our presidents
with elections, not with coups.
[DOOR OPENS]
[GROANING, GRUNTING]
- [DAVID] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [BOOTH GRUNTING, BREATHING HEAVILY]
[COUGHING]
- [GRUNTS] My leg. My leg!
- [DOCTOR] Okay, okay.
- My leg. [SCREAMS]
- [DAVID] You're all right.
[BOOTH GRUNTS]
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[DOCTOR] Ready?
One, two, three.
[SCREAMS] Goddamn it!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I can splint that, but
if you don't stay off it,
you might end up on a surgeon's table.
[BREATHES HEAVILY] Stay
off it for how long?
Fractured tibia requires
about two months lying around.
Not sure you got that.
Johnny. Doc's paper arrived.
You're front-page news.
- [GRUNTS, PANTING]
- [DAVID] Hey.
[BOOTH] I always read my reviews.
[GRUNTS]
More whiskey, doc.
Hey. Now.
[COUGHING]
"Lincoln." Of course.
"Lincoln. Lincoln. Our
beloved President Lincoln."
[BOOTH] Wait a minute.
It says here I'm a symbol of the cause.
Huh.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
I'm a symbol, Davey.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
[CLEARS THROAT]
Dr. Mudd take he coffee now.
Usually tell me how to
address his patients.
What should I call you?
[BOOTH] You can call me "sir."
What's your name, girl?
Mary.
[CHUCKLES]
You don't look like any
virgin I've ever seen.
[SIGHS] I don't know
what you mean by that.
[CHUCKLES] Yes, you do.
- How you take your coffee, sir?
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[DOCTOR EXHALES SHARPLY] Have
your brother make a splint.
He just finished working on
that new latrine you asked for.
He'll work as long as
things take, won't he?
Didn't I teach him a lesson last year?
Dear God. I hope I don't
have to teach you the same.
No, sir.
Let him hold your hand.
I don't need it. [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Fair enough.
- Ready? One.
- I'm here.
Two.
- Three. [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- [SNAPS]
[SCREAMS]
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is the actual mask.
It was a mold taken of Lincoln's
face two months before he passed away.
This is the actual playbill of
the performance that he attended
when he was shot by this
individual here. He was murdered.
- Excuse me. [MUMBLES]
- What do I get for these relics?
Sir, that was the sconce
that was hanging in the room.
I actually took that off the wall.
It was burning.
- [GLASS SHATTERING]
- [CROWD GASPS]
[STANTON] Have you no shame?
Get out of here.
Get out of here now!
All of you, go home.
- Go! Go home.
- [ECKERT] Go on!
Get outta here! Move!
Get out! Go on! Go home!
I want men stationed on this
street to keep these people away,
out of these buildings.
Yes, sir.
- Move! Keep on moving.
- [THUDS]
I don't wanna see you around here.
[CHOIR SINGER] Gonna

[CHORUS] Down by the riverside ♪

[STANTON] Eckert?
It's code. [SIGHS]
[SIGHS] Yeah, and it could be Richmond.
Montreal?
Booth playing spy games.
I don't know this pattern.
Let's, um Let's see
what else we can find.
- [SIGHS]
- [ECKERT] He left the bankbook.
Deposited $500.
Which bank?
Montreal.
It's the same one the
Confederate Secret Service uses
to launder money.
It's just a single deposit?
They don't just use that bank.
They control it. [SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
I saw you have the thought.
[CLEARS THROAT]
It's It's equivocal.
And what if we find hard evidence?
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
What if the Confederacy is
behind the assassination?
[STAMMERING]
I'd have to start another war.
