Another turning point

Wearing that 2003 NANOWRIMO shirt.

Hit another kind of turning point today. Or another realization. Or something. Somehow worked into Lincoln's security using a look-alike for his security and then thought, "What if they hired John Wilkes Booth as his look-alike?" Booth was an actor, right? Well.... So then it comes up that Booth might be sent to Baltimore without additional security even knowing that there's an assassination plot -- basically using him as bait. Kate, of course, can't abide by this -- sending an innocent man to his death. This scene kinda hit me as neat:

“Who gives a damn about appearances?” Kate asked. “This is a man’s life I’m talking about.”
“Booth knew what he was getting into when he signed up for the job.”
“So did Lincoln,” Kate countered.
“Touché. But surely you’d agree that Lincoln’s life is worth far more than Booth’s, right?”
“I didn’t come here for a philosophical debate on the value of the life of an individual. I will grant you that Lincoln will do more for the health and prosperity of the Union than Booth will. However, we’re not talking about saving lives here. We’re talking about potentially throwing away one man’s life to preserve the reputation of another.”

So, Kate's going to break him out and take him through Baltimore safely, saving Booth's life, but ultimately dooming Lincoln's. Wubba wubba!
