Antonio Bandera, Samahayak, and Johnny Depp. All Right, what happened?

29
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.159
On September the twelfth, four ninety BC. The Battle of

30
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.439
Marathon was fought over in Greece. Now the small Athenian

31
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.240
Army they defeated the mighty Persian Army. Needing to get

32
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.639
word to Athens about the victory, fidipity is he voluntaried,

33
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.919
so he ran all the way from Marathon to Athens.

34
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.680
He delivered the news and then dropped over dead from exhaustion.

35
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.759
Oh that's according to legend. Marathon to Athens that was

36
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.360
about twenty five miles. In eighteen ninety six, in the

37
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.240
First Olympic Games, they ran the marathons bosly on the

38
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.080
exact same route that Phidipities ran. Well, the race was

39
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.199
such a big hit that they decided to keep the

40
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.960
marathon in all Olympic Games. But depending on where the

41
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.719
race was run, yeah, it had a different distance each time,

42
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.840
so it was always around twenty five miles. But nineteen

43
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.879
Zino eight, everyone just agreed twenty six point two miles

44
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.680
as a marathon. Nineteen ten, Los Angeles they hired Alice.

45
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.719
Nineteen ten, Los Angeles hired Alice Wells as a Los

46
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.759
Angeles police officer. She was the first female cop in

47
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.000
US history. Now, other women they had worked for police departments,

48
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.360
but they didn't have any like arrest authority or legal

49
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.199
power or anything like that. Yeah, they just basically babysat

50
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.520
female prisoners. Now, although it had started on the TV

51
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.919
