The Mississipp­i River steamboat was filled with Union soldiers at the time of its explosion, though the disaster was overshadow­ed by something that happened a day earlier: the death of John Wilkes Booth.

“To Catch a Trader” probes the wealth of Steven A. Cohen, who went from trading options to establishi­ng himself as a major power in the world of hedge funds.

Reese’s (Jim Caviezel) break from Finch (Michael Emerson) and the Machine proves short-lived as he returns to New York in “Provenance.” It doesn’t take long for his next case to surface, tied to the theft of a Cezanne painting from an exhibit opening.
