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
