In ‘Manhunt’ Episode 2, the officer visits Dr Samuel Mudd's house to question him about treating Booth.

Though Mudd admits to providing medical assistance to Booth, he insists he was unaware of Booth's identity. This disclosure raises suspicions about Mudd's potential involvement in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, leading authorities to delve deeper into the matter.

In Episode 3 of 'Manhunt,' viewers can anticipate a heightened intensity in the investigation at Dr Samuel Mudd's residence, accompanied by suspenseful moments and dramatic twists.

As the manhunt for Booth intensifies, Simms's actions may play a crucial role in the unfolding events, adding a new layer of tension and suspense to the narrative.

The official synopsis of ‘Manhunt’ Episode 3 reads, “The hunt expands to Québec, where a nest of Confederate spies and expatriates reorganize; John Wilkes Booth is taken underground in Maryland.”
