In the second episode of the 2024 Apple TV+ series , titled "Post-mortem," the narrative intensifies as Secretary of War Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies) launches a desperate search for John Wilkes Booth while navigating the immediate political fallout of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Plot Summary: S01E02 "Post-mortem"

: In the show, Mary Surratt and Lewis Powell are arrested on April 15. In reality, their arrests did not occur until late in the evening on April 17, 1865 .

While the series is praised for its atmosphere, it takes several historical liberties in this episode:

: Stanton Jr. proposes the idea of a funeral train that will carry Lincoln’s body to Springfield, Illinois. Stanton approves the plan, seeing it as a way to unite the grieving nation and maintain public support for Lincoln's vision. Fact vs. Fiction

: John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle) and David Herold (Will Harrison) remain at the home of Dr. Samuel Mudd (Matt Walsh). Booth is forced to shave his "signature" mustache to evade recognition. Mary Simms (Lovie Simone), a formerly enslaved woman working for Mudd, begins to suspect the identity of their guests after finding Booth’s boot inscribed with "JWB".

: The episode mentions Booth broke his tibia , but most historical accounts (including Booth’s own diary) state he broke his fibula . Where to Watch with Subtitles

: The series depicts Stanton personally leading a search of the Surratt Tavern and finding a secret room with a coded telegram from Jefferson Davis. Historical records indicate these are largely narrative inventions designed to heighten the conspiracy thriller elements.

: Critical witnesses and conspirators are apprehended. Louis Weichmann provides information leading to the arrest of his landlady, Mary Surratt (Carrie Lazar). During her interrogation, a blood-stained Lewis Powell (Spencer Treat Clark) arrives at her boardinghouse and is arrested after a struggle with Thomas Eckert.
