Captain Miller

**Captain Miller** relieved Corporal John Beecham of his duty after witnessing disturbing behavior when they were called to keep the peace during the Haymarket riots.

He is a character in “The Alienist” portrayed by Eric Johnson.

## Character Overview

Captain Miller is an average good-looking man in his late thirties. With blond hair, sunburnt skin and blue eyes, Captain Miller wears his platoon's uniform. He is a man who is loyal to the uniform and to the cause in which he believes. Despite his military career, he admitted that he had never seen so much horror as the one perpetrated by John Beecham.

## Biography

In the first half of the 1880s, Captain Miller was the Head of the platoon where corporal John Beecham was enlisted into. Captain Miller described him as "disciplined, attentive to detail, efficient". However, Beecham attracted negative attention to himself during the Haymarket riots. On May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago, his platoon was called in to "keep the peace, but the violence got ugly. A bomb thrown amongst police, rioters shot and killed." During the retaliation, Captain Miller came across him sitting astride a dead striker, stabbing at the body with a knife, over and over. To make matters worse, Beecham was completely naked, covered in blood and sexually aroused as he defaced the corpse. He was sent to the St. Elizabeth's Hospital, informally known as Government Hospital for the Insane after being found unfit for service by the Regimental Surgeon.

North Dakota, 1896. When detective sergeants Marcus and Lucius Isaacson went to North Dakota to investigate potential suspects following recent developments in their investigation, Captain Miller received their visit. In an Indian reservation, the captain told the two policemen about the circumstances he met John Beecham and how he shown to be mentally unstable during the suppression of the Haymarket riots.

## Memorable Quotes

**Capain Miller:** "*You've come all this way to inquire about Corporal Beecham?*"
**Lucius Isaacson:** "*You remember him?*"
**Capain Miller:** "*Remember him? It's been ten years, and I can't get him out of my head.*"
**Capain Miller:** " *I've seen men driven to bloodlust out here in the West. Never in a place like Chicago and certainly not in the course of a labor riot.*"
**Capain Miller:** "*I mean, you must be half-crazy to do what he did that day. [...] I came across him sitting astride a dead striker. Young man body, really in a back alley. He was stabbing at the body with a knife, over and over. That wasn't the worst of it. He was naked from head to foot, drenched in blood. Down there, between his legs, he was stiff as a flagpole.*"

Bernie Peterson

**Bernie Peterson** is the chief editor of *The New York Times* who promoted John Moore from illustrator to news reporter. He is a character in “Angel of Darkness” portrayed by Demetri Goritsas.

## Biography

Bernie was impressed with John's Martha Napp article, though he wasn’t sure at if he would run it considering the article made a lot of statements that would make a lot of important folks angry. John retorted that he was angry. He couldn’t believe that society would wrongly execute a woman. Bernie reminded John that he would need facts to support his claim otherwise they couldn’t run the article. Maude then informed them that a dead baby’s body had just been found at Siegel-Cooper.

Bernie wasn’t convinced that the Linares case was connected to the Napp case, though John was certain it was and wanted to accompany Sara Howard on her investigation. If he was indeed right, they’d have the scoop of the century. Bernie reluctantly agreed to allow John to work with Sara, but not without noting that his future godfather-in-law wouldn’t like it.

Up meeting Joanna Crawford, who was recruited by John, Bernie wondered how a black woman would be able to gather stories for the society pages. John explained that he would apprise Joanna of the event, and she would write it up. Admittedly, Bernie was impressed with Joanna’s senior thesis "Suffragism and Emancipation: A New America."

Bernie congratulated John on a job well done and his promotion. Vanderbilt was even praising him. Bernie always figured John would eventually leave them and go on to bigger things, but John explained that he felt at home at the Times.

Metropolitan Opera House

The **Metropolitan Opera House** is an opera house located on Broadway on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. Dr. Laszlo Kreizler is an admirer of the opera and regular theatre goer.

## History

In late March 1896, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler invited his friend John Moore to an evening at the opera before meeting up with other acquaintances at Delmonico's. Although John Moore had dozed throughout the first act of *Rigoletto*, he took the opportunity to read the room and notice the presence of wealthy patrons. First, tycoon JP Morgan accompanied by a niece — actually his current mistress, according to Moore. Then Mayor Lafayette Strong and the Chief of Police, Theodore Roosevelt. During the interlude, Dr. Kreizler approached Roosevelt for updates on the investigation and a request to conduct a parallel investigation, assisted by Detective Sergeants Marcus and Lucius Isaacson. The conversation with the alienist aroused some suspicious looks from Strong and Morgan, prompting Roosevelt to distance himself from Kreizler and Moore.

On June 24, in conjunction with the Feast of St. John the Baptist, Dr. Kreizler devised a plan to sidetrack former chief police Thomas Byrnes from their investigations. Together with John Moore he went to the Metropolitan Opera House to attend the staging of *Don Giovanni* with music by Mozart. While Byrnes kept a constant eye on them, Kreizler took advantage of some pyrotechnic tricks on stage to escape alongside Moore. Unbeknowst to them, ex-captain Patrick Connor was waiting for them outside, and followed them.

Narciso Linares

Señor **Narciso Linares** is the Ambassador-General for the Spanish Consulate in New York City. When their daughter Ana is kidnapped, he and his wife Isabella hire Sara Howard to investigate. He is a character in “Angel of Darkness” portrayed by Diego Martín.

## Biography

Narciso said goodbye to his wife, Isabella, and their child, Ana, before leaving for Washington. He feared the worst should America continue their support of the Cuban rebels. Before leaving, he asked that she remain inside, but she assured him they’d be fine.

Narciso returned home after learning that his child was abducted. After Sara and Laszlo interviewed their staff, they met with Narciso and asked to speak with Isabella, but he turned them away as she was resting.

Narciso watched from afar as Laszlo hypothesized Isabella. She remembered seeing a painting at the Metropolitan Museum. She then left the museum and instantly became unnerved and agitated. Unsure of her surroundings. Isabella then collapsed back into her seat.

Narciso learned from Sara, Laszlo, Lucius and Marcus that the kidnapper was most likely a nursing woman, who was slow to kill the child. They found both the antidote and the poison in the child’s stomach. Narciso wasn’t concerned with the Napp child, only his own. However, they proceeded to present to him their theories and the steps they were taking.

Through Sara Howard, Narciso and Isabella were reunited with their daughter.

## Notes

* The original photos shown before the end credits refer to the Moral Trial of Dr. George Hodel that took place in Los Angeles in 1949.

* The Watts Riot changed the way America viewed the media. Robert Richardson, an African-American reporter for the LATimes was one of the only reporters to report on the riots first hand.

* Kind of bitter, kind of sweet: just like Jay Singletary. The Arnold Palmer was invented in Palm Springs, California in the 1960’s.

Gaugamela

**Gaugamela**, antik stad i Mesopotamien, vid nuvarande Irbil i Irak. Här vann Alexander den store den 1 oktober 331 f.Kr. en avgörande seger över perserkungen Dareios 3. Dareios hade grupperat sina 200 000 man på en öppen slätt som gav stort rum åt hans elefanter, medan Alexander hade drygt 50 000 man som gick till angrepp från högerflanken och rev upp den persiska styrkan. Dareios flydde och uppskattningsvis 90 000 perser föll. Slaget förstörde Persiens militära slagkraft, och vägen till Persiens inre del låg därmed öppen för Alexander. Den berömda mosaikbilden Alexanderslaget föreställer möjligen slaget vid Gaugamela, evt. slaget ved Issos två år tidigare, eller element från bägge slag.
Slaget vid Wayna Daga

**Slaget vid Wayna Daga** (amhariska för "Vindodlarkullen"), även kallat **slaget vid Tanasjön**, ägde rum den 21 februari 1543 öster om Tanasjön i nuvarande Etiopien. Den kombinerade etiopisk-portugisiska armén under den unge kejsaren Claudius (Gelawdewos) besegrade Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghasis (Ahmed Gran) muslimska armé från Adalsultanatet. Gran själv dödades av en portugisisk musketer, som ensam hade gått in i muslimernas led. Efter att hans armé bröt samman, flydde hans soldater från slagfältet efter att ha hört talas om hans död.

Ahmed Grans fru Bati del Wambara flydde till Harar med 40 överlevande musketerare, men hennes son hade fångats efter slaget och utbyttes senare mot brodern till den etiopiska kejsaren Minas.
