Copper

I was part of the plot to bomb New York City.

Please! If you testify...

I refuse to continue be a part of this...

Now's not the time to be stupid.

I will not involve my husband in my mistakes

and you will not become free of this jail.

We've found the plantation

to which your mother was sold.

I personally will go to the plantation

and shepherd Sara's mother to your door.

You saved my life when New York burnt.

Now I saved yours.

We're square.

Detective Maguire.

Shake the man's hand, detective.

Copper 02x06 To One Sortly To Die Original Air Date July 28, 2013

Go away, you devil! Go!

That little brat was looking up your skirt.

Boy: Paper here!

New York City celebrates inauguration day-y-y!

Paper! Get your paper here!

Detectives, sorry to keep you waiting.

Come on in.

We have a man dead

in the Centre Street Tenement,

an uptown man, wealthy, visible,

and wouldn't you know? Good.

Alderman Stephen Bartlett.

He was earnest.

He attended to the needs of immigrants and the poor.

He deserves no scandal.

Investigate prudently,

discreetly...

All specialties of Francis Maguire.

Careful, now. Collaboration is

the best way to erase the mark

Keating left on the 6th precinct.

You and Francis Maguire are likeminded opposites...

the best detective pairing.

The city will be headed to Union Square

for inauguration festivities.

A good distraction from any scandalous findings.

Sara! Ohh!

Oh!

Oh, my darlin'!

My darlin'.

Oh! Let me get a look at you!

Oh, beautiful.

Sara Freeman!

Look at you,

you a married lady.

Mama, I've been afraid to let myself

consider this moment and, now,

praise God!

You've changed our lives.

How did you convince them to free her?

There was no freeing of Hattie Lemaster.

There was a purchase.

Quite a bundle of bills.

My family is forever in your debt.

Matthew,

forever is a terribly limitless void.

Matthew! Matthew!

Sweet Matthew.

Thank you for looking after my baby girl.

Look, I have another son.

Yet another blessing.

How about the rest of 'em?

Where y'all hiding your brothers?

No, I have had a change of...

Heart.

I will not testify against Kennedy.

Have you gone as mad as our defendant?

After all your effort

to stop that traitor from burning New York,

you, on the very day of the trial,

choose to cripple the government's case?

Once, I myself was termed a cripple.

Then, I recognized another way to walk.

Robert Cobb Kennedy will go free.

Colonel.

Confederate fire will consume this city.

I hope you will blame yourself.

What, exactly, happened to my boys?

The circumstance surrounding Louis's and Thomas's deaths

were terrible.

When I was, uh...

the draft riots and...

things became...

Chaotic.

Louis and Thomas were called

to work extra hours on the ferry,

as the Irish laborers abandoned their jobs,

abandoned normal life in its entirety,

and tore the city apart.

On...

July 13th,

during a crossing to Greenpoint,

two ferries collided.

When the engines caught fire,

Louis and Thomas

loaded passengers into lifeboats

to safety.

A surviving crewman told me they acted

with no regard for their own lives.

He called them heroes.

This it?

Aye.

Not where Alderman Bartlett expected

to meet his end, I'll wager.

Hey.

Copper.

Oh, Christ, of all the...

Jesus.

Francis, you need me

to stand down the kitty-cat?

Ah, shut your...

I can't stand 'em! They're witches!

Don't pretend your ma didn't warn you

a hundred times.

Hey!

Out!

His pocket watch survived.

Whoever lived here is long gone,

but someone took the time to pack up.

A woman.

Strangled, but not with a normal rope.

See how thin it is? Cut right into him.

His coat's still here.

Alderman Bartlett, what were you

really up to, down here in Five Points?

Corky, the only reason you end up

in that position is sex.

- No, no, miss. - To think,

Teresa considered that the best arse she could get.

Teresa who?

Teresa Trembley, o' course.

And Teresa was from outside the city?

Came here all by her pretty self,

from Hamilton, Ontario.

Who are you, again?

Mab O'Dwyer.

Longest tenant in the Centre Street.

Congratulations.

What did you see last night?

The usual dance.

Then, something different...

Another fella come by and, later,

there was commotion.

So the bloke, what'd he look like?

Ugh, they hollered a good lot

before I nearly knocked through the wall.

So, you didn't actually see anything, then?

The charges brought against the defendant,

Robert Cobb Kennedy,

are as follows...

As a captain in the military service

of the insurgent states, was found acting as a spy

in the city of New York.

In violation of the law of war,

undertook irregular and unlawful warfare

in the city of New York,

by setting fire thereto.

How does the accused plead?

Not guilty, to all charges.

Are you prepared to proceed with this trial

under the judgment of these officers?

I am.

And I will defend myself.

Boy: Get your paper!

Good morning.

Good mornin'.

Oh, my God, you're pregnant!

You didn't know?

Should I have?

Hmm, the way gossip moves in this town?

Lovely news, actually,

that a woman can still have a private life.

No, Eva, tell me...

Should I have known?

Personally, I've never operated on shoulds.

This concludes the opening session

of this tribunal hearing.

We will reconvene in one half-hour's time.

Hey.

Your neighbor Alderman Bartlett, what do you know of his wife?

Corky, you always pick the best ones, but, as you can see,

we're in the middle of a military tribunal.

Then give me what you have, quickly.

The alderman's first wife died

several years ago... cholera.

Last winter, he married Constance,

a society doyenne.

Sounds like good luck after bad.

Last month, Constance went out to Paris,
