00:00:00,633 --> 00:00:03,235
Joining us now,
the reporter
2
00:00:03,237 --> 00:00:04,503
Who broke this story--
vanessa chandler
3
00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:06,105
Of the "post's" styles section.
4
00:00:06,107 --> 00:00:09,041
Former white house
communications director
5
00:00:09,043 --> 00:00:10,642
Olivia pope.
6
00:00:10,644 --> 00:00:12,644
How sure are you
that she's the woman
7
00:00:12,646 --> 00:00:15,180
Who had an alleged affair
with president grant?
8
00:00:15,182 --> 00:00:17,149
It's just one source,
but it's a good source--
9
00:00:17,151 --> 00:00:19,385
A source in a position
to know the true identity
10
00:00:19,387 --> 00:00:21,186
Of the president's mistress.
(clicks)
11
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:26,025
Come out of the woodwork
and more details emerge.
12
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:28,027
Can you give us an idea
of how high up
13
00:00:28,029 --> 00:00:33,098
No, but I will say that
my source is 100% sure...
(lock clicks)
14
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:34,700
That ms. Pope is
the president's mistress,
15
00:00:34,702 --> 00:00:36,101
And if they're right--
16
00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:37,736
And obviously I believe
they are--
17
00:00:37,738 --> 00:00:40,139
It's only a matter of time
before more details come out.
18
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:48,213
22 minutes
without making a sound.
19
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:51,150
If only you'd been
this quiet as a child.
20
00:00:52,152 --> 00:00:54,119
Why did you try
to have me killed?
21
00:00:54,121 --> 00:00:55,421
I didn't try
to have you killed.
22
00:00:55,423 --> 00:00:58,490
I tried to have
jake ballard killed.
23
00:00:58,492 --> 00:01:00,726
Hmm. We're here.
24
00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:11,136
No.
You've gotten yourself into
a bit of trouble, olivia,
25
00:01:11,138 --> 00:01:14,073
And I'm here to fix it.
No.
26
00:01:14,075 --> 00:01:15,808
Now listen to me.
You raised your skirt
27
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:18,210
And opened your knees
and gave it away
28
00:01:18,212 --> 00:01:19,745
To a man
with too much power.
29
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:21,847
You're not rare.
You're not special.
30
00:01:21,849 --> 00:01:23,849
Your story's no different
than a thousand other stories
31
00:01:23,851 --> 00:01:25,684
In this town,
so you know how this goes.
32
00:01:25,686 --> 00:01:29,555
First they'll smile, be warm,
sympathetic, on your side,
33
00:01:29,557 --> 00:01:31,390
Letting you know that
they will fight for you.
34
00:01:31,392 --> 00:01:34,560
They will lull you into
a false sense of security.
35
00:01:34,562 --> 00:01:37,563
And then, once your belly
is exposed,
36
00:01:37,565 --> 00:01:40,599
They will gut you
and everyone you know.
37
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:44,203
And by the time you realize
you should be fighting back,
38
00:01:44,205 --> 00:01:46,839
Well, you're already
bleeding to death.
39
00:01:46,841 --> 00:01:50,442
That is the presidency
versus you.
40
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:52,778
Whose victory do you think
they will fight for?
41
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:55,114
Whose body do you think
they will bury?
42
00:01:55,116 --> 00:01:57,416
He would never--
"he would never."
43
00:01:57,418 --> 00:02:00,652
You and I both know
that he is not in charge.
44
00:02:00,654 --> 00:02:03,188
He is never in charge.
45
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:04,823
Power is in charge.
46
00:02:04,825 --> 00:02:07,726
Power got him elected.
47
00:02:07,728 --> 00:02:10,729
I know more than you could
possibly imagine
48
00:02:10,731 --> 00:02:14,466
About things of which
you cannot dream.
49
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:19,238
He told you that you
would be first lady,
50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,340
And ybelieved him!
51
00:02:21,342 --> 00:02:24,343
Did I not raise you
for better?
52
00:02:24,345 --> 00:02:26,912
How many times have I told you
you have to be...
53
00:02:26,914 --> 00:02:29,148
What?
54
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:35,821
You have to be...
What?
55
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:36,855
Twice...
56
00:02:36,857 --> 00:02:39,391
What?!
57
00:02:39,393 --> 00:02:41,693
(voice breaks)
twice as good.
58
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:43,462
Twice as good as them
59
00:02:43,464 --> 00:02:46,498
To get half
of what they have.
60
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:49,334
Sleeping with that...
(sighs)
61
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:52,404
For god sakes!
62
00:02:52,406 --> 00:02:55,307
You know to aim higher.
63
00:02:55,309 --> 00:02:57,309
At the very least,
you could have aimed for
64
00:02:57,311 --> 00:02:59,244
Chief of staff,
secretary of state!
65
00:02:59,246 --> 00:03:01,880
First lady!
66
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:06,919
Do you have to be
so mediocre?
67
00:03:21,501 --> 00:03:23,402
Your staff will be
taken care of financially.
68
00:03:23,404 --> 00:03:25,904
Your business will continue
to run.
69
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:27,873
Money is not a problem.
There's always money.
70
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:30,275
Money bought that plane.
Money bought the silence
71
00:03:30,277 --> 00:03:32,311
Of the gentleman
who will fly that plane.
72
00:03:32,313 --> 00:03:34,880
On board, you will
find an envelope.
73
00:03:34,882 --> 00:03:37,482
It contains a passport,
a swiss bank book,
74
00:03:37,484 --> 00:03:40,352
A go file,
an entirely new identity.
75
00:03:40,354 --> 00:03:42,588
There is a very nice island
waiting for you
76
00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:43,922
At the end of the flight.
77
00:03:43,924 --> 00:03:46,358
You will stay there
for eight months.
78
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,294
Then I can arrange
a place for you in brussels.
79
00:03:49,296 --> 00:03:51,797
Thailand, if you prefer,
johannesburg--
80
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:54,933
Anyplace but here, really,
as long as you disappear.
81
00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:56,702
And what if I don't want
to go?
82
00:03:56,704 --> 00:03:58,737
Olivia, you're getting
on that plane
83
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:00,505
Come hell or high water.
84
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:03,675
And to be clear,
I am the hell
85
00:04:03,677 --> 00:04:05,978
And the high water.
86
00:04:07,547 --> 00:04:13,318
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,256
(airplane engines whirring)
88
00:04:17,258 --> 00:04:19,291
We'll be taking off in a moment.
Can I get you anything to drink?
89
00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:21,326
No. Thank you.
90
00:04:21,328 --> 00:04:24,029
Can I...
Borrow your phone?
91
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:28,000
(sighs) where are you?
92
00:04:28,002 --> 00:04:29,935
I'm sitting in a jet
on a runway.
93
00:04:29,937 --> 00:04:32,037
Where are you going?
Nowhere. I'm disappearing.
94
00:04:32,039 --> 00:04:35,307
That is not an option.
It is. Apparently,
it's very simple.
95
00:04:35,309 --> 00:04:39,478
I just get on this plane
and I disappear into thin air.
96
00:04:42,715 --> 00:04:45,317
Get off the plane.
Don't run.
97
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:47,986
You need me here so you can
throw me under the bus?
98
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:50,689
I know how this goes. I can
run this play in my sleep.
99
00:04:50,691 --> 00:04:53,325
You'll burn me.
I won't burn you.
100
00:04:53,327 --> 00:04:55,894
Not unless you burn me.
We are on the same side.
Are we?
101
00:04:55,896 --> 00:04:57,029
Who leaked my name, cy?
102
00:04:57,031 --> 00:04:58,997
When I find out,
they will suffer.
103
00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:00,465
Get off the plane!
104
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:01,967
I just wanted to say good-bye.
Olivia--
105
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:04,703
Tell him I said good-bye.
Olivia. Olivia!
106
00:05:04,705 --> 00:05:05,971
What?
107
00:05:05,973 --> 00:05:09,908
If you... Disappear--
if you disappear,
108
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:11,910
He will think
that I had you killed.
109
00:05:11,912 --> 00:05:13,612
And he will never trust me
again.
110
00:05:13,614 --> 00:05:14,913
He barely trusts me
as it is,
111
00:05:14,915 --> 00:05:17,649
And I will not be able
to help him out of this.
112
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:20,085
If he thinks you're dead,
I won't be able to save him.
113
00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:23,922
Don't run!
I have done dark things,
114
00:05:23,924 --> 00:05:26,091
But I have also been your friend
and your champion.
115
00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:28,026
When you aren't a monster?
116
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:30,996
I am a monster, but, honey,
I'm your monster!
117
00:05:30,998 --> 00:05:32,764
And I will fix this.
118
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:34,900
I will put this ridiculous,
untrue rumor
119
00:05:34,902 --> 00:05:37,769
About you having an affair
with the president to rest.
120
00:05:37,771 --> 00:05:39,905
I will put it down.
I will bury it!
121
00:05:39,907 --> 00:05:41,440
I just need a little time,
122
00:05:41,442 --> 00:05:44,676
And I just need you
not to run.
123
00:05:44,678 --> 00:05:46,011
(breathing heavily)
124
00:05:46,013 --> 00:05:48,447
I need you to get off
the plane, my friend.
125
00:05:48,449 --> 00:05:50,682
Get off the plane.
126
00:05:57,890 --> 00:05:59,691
Olivia!
I'm not going.
127
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:00,992
Yes, you are.
128
00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:02,761
Thanks for the offer, but no.
129
00:06:02,763 --> 00:06:06,064
I am many things.
Stupid is not one of them.
130
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:09,000
Olivia, you can't possibly think
you're going to return
131
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:11,970
To your old life
as if nothing is happening.
132
00:06:11,972 --> 00:06:15,774
What is happening is that I am
taking care of myself!
133
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:18,510
Take me to my office.
134
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:22,147
The white house
will destroy you.
135
00:06:22,149 --> 00:06:25,817
That's what mom used to
tell me about you.
136
00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:27,853
(window whirs)
137
00:06:32,992 --> 00:06:36,895
Like I said and will continue
to say in a variety of ways,
138
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:40,432
The white house has no official
comment on these accusations
139
00:06:40,434 --> 00:06:43,568
And no plans to comment further.
(reporters shouting questions)
140
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:44,870
You want the vice president
141
00:06:44,872 --> 00:06:46,738
To take on the president's
public appearances
142
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:48,573
In the middle of all this?
Th-that--
143
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:50,041
Until I can find the source
of the fire and put it out,
144
00:06:50,043 --> 00:06:53,845
She's gonna get the questions.
All the questions.
145
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:55,981
Then she'll dodge them
and be very good at it.
146
00:06:55,983 --> 00:06:58,116
Cyrus, maybe you and I should
get together and discuss this.
I don't think so.
147
00:06:58,118 --> 00:07:01,086
Ma'am!
No, I will not be
aiding and abetting a man
148
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:03,121
Breaking his marriage vows
and laying with another woman.
149
00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:05,924
I will not be surrendering
that piece of my soul.
150
00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:07,759
I am the lord's witness.
151
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:10,662
No...
152
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:12,664
No! The people.
153
00:07:12,666 --> 00:07:15,667
The people,
madame vice president...
154
00:07:15,669 --> 00:07:18,670
(chuckles) the people
elected you
155
00:07:18,672 --> 00:07:21,606
To be the president's sidekick,
not the lord!
156
00:07:21,608 --> 00:07:24,109
The lord did not fill out
his voter registration card.
157
00:07:24,111 --> 00:07:27,546
So guess what. The lord
does not have the right to vote
158
00:07:27,548 --> 00:07:29,548
In the United States
of america!
159
00:07:29,550 --> 00:07:31,550
I am done with you
and your superiority
160
00:07:31,552 --> 00:07:32,851
And your rudeness.
161
00:07:32,853 --> 00:07:35,687
I have never once mentioned
how I feel about
162
00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:37,756
Your godless homosexual
lifestyle
163
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:40,792
And that poor, sweet
brown baby
164
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:42,861
That you have dragged
into it.
165
00:07:42,863 --> 00:07:44,996
I keep my personal opinions
to myself.
166
00:07:44,998 --> 00:07:49,167
But you find any opportunity
each and every day to belittle
167
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:51,536
Me and my desire
to serve the lord.
168
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:53,905
You have no respect.
Not for me, not for the voters
169
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:56,675
I handed you on a platter
the last election,
170
00:07:56,677 --> 00:07:58,844
The voters I will take with me
when I go.
171
00:07:58,846 --> 00:08:01,580
Go? Wh-where are you going!?
Canada?
172
00:08:01,582 --> 00:08:03,915
Because that's the only place
you have a chance
173
00:08:03,917 --> 00:08:06,051
Of being elected
on a sitting president
174
00:08:06,053 --> 00:08:08,587
From your own party, who--
175
00:08:08,589 --> 00:08:10,922
Who is sleeping with whores!
I'd like to speak
with sally alone, please.
176
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:13,925
Alone.
(sally sighs)
177
00:08:13,927 --> 00:08:15,060
Please.
178
00:08:15,062 --> 00:08:16,728
(whispers) okay.
179
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:20,532
Okay.
(sighs)
180
00:08:20,534 --> 00:08:22,100
(door opens)
181
00:08:24,704 --> 00:08:26,838
(inhales and sighs)
182
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:30,775
Well?
183
00:08:30,777 --> 00:08:33,778
Do you drink ever?
Excuse me?
184
00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:35,647
I'm not trying to just...
185
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:37,716
If you were a man,
I'd offer you a scotch.
186
00:08:37,718 --> 00:08:39,684
And I thought, I'm kind of
an ass if I only offer you
187
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:41,553
The scotch if you're a man.
188
00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:43,154
What is that? Some
prep school crap I learned.
189
00:08:43,156 --> 00:08:45,257
Uh... Anyway,
190
00:08:45,259 --> 00:08:47,125
Do you... Drink?
191
00:08:47,127 --> 00:08:49,694
(inhales sharply)
192
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:52,597
I would like a scotch.
Neat.
193
00:08:55,801 --> 00:08:57,702
Sally... (exhales)
194
00:08:57,704 --> 00:08:58,837
Yes?
195
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:01,706
(pours liquor, bottle clatters)
196
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:05,777
I slept with someone
who is not my wife.
197
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:10,649
You're not surprised
that I cheated.
198
00:09:10,651 --> 00:09:11,917
You're surprised
that I'm admitting it.
199
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,052
(pours liquor)
which is...
200
00:09:14,054 --> 00:09:17,622
(bottle clatters)
I did. I had an affair.
201
00:09:17,624 --> 00:09:21,593
I take responsibility,
and I'm sorry.
202
00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:23,995
I failed you.
203
00:09:23,997 --> 00:09:25,797
Me, sir?
204
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:28,199
You. As your team member,
as your president,
205
00:09:28,201 --> 00:09:31,036
As your fellow citizen.
206
00:09:31,038 --> 00:09:34,072
I did not live up to my promise
to be the best man I could be.
207
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:35,907
I lied.
208
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:38,777
I lived a lie.
209
00:09:38,779 --> 00:09:40,912
And I am sorry about that.
210
00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:43,848
Okay?
211
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:46,918
All right, mr. President.
212
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,120
Okay.
213
00:09:49,122 --> 00:09:51,590
So...
214
00:09:51,592 --> 00:09:53,758
These public appearances
cyrus is asking you
215
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,226
To stand in on for me...
Sir?
216
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:58,863
Sally, it's time for me
to do the right thing.
217
00:09:58,865 --> 00:10:01,733
Be the leader I've always
wanted to be.
218
00:10:01,735 --> 00:10:04,603
In order to do so, I have to
stand in front of the world
219
00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:06,071
And say who I am
and what I've done
220
00:10:06,073 --> 00:10:07,739
And deal
with the consequences,
221
00:10:07,741 --> 00:10:11,009
That moment is coming,
and I want it to come.
222
00:10:11,011 --> 00:10:13,612
What I'm asking you
223
00:10:13,614 --> 00:10:17,248
Is for the chance
to buy a little time
224
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:20,752
To get the people in my life
ready for that moment.
225
00:10:22,888 --> 00:10:24,656
Can you do that for me?
226
00:10:25,992 --> 00:10:29,361
(inhales)
227
00:10:29,363 --> 00:10:31,363
Yes. (exhales)
228
00:10:31,365 --> 00:10:32,797
Yes, I can.
229
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,968
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
230
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:40,805
(man) there she is!
231
00:10:40,807 --> 00:10:44,342
(reporters shouting questions,
camera shutters clicking)
232
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:46,177
(pounding on limousine)
233
00:10:46,179 --> 00:10:50,248
(clamoring)
234
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:52,751
(man) move out of the way!
235
00:10:52,753 --> 00:10:55,086
Get off the car!
Don't!
236
00:10:55,088 --> 00:10:56,755
Move out of the way!
237
00:10:56,757 --> 00:10:58,723
Hey. Hey!
238
00:10:58,725 --> 00:11:01,359
(camera shutter clicking)
239
00:11:01,361 --> 00:11:04,763
(clamoring continues)
240
00:11:04,765 --> 00:11:07,365
Olivia! Take my hand.
241
00:11:07,367 --> 00:11:11,269
(all shouting at once)
242
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:12,937
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
243
00:11:12,939 --> 00:11:15,106
(shouting continues)
244
00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:16,708
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
245
00:11:18,878 --> 00:11:20,812
(abby) what should we do?
What's our first move?
246
00:11:20,814 --> 00:11:22,847
We do nothing.
It's being handled,
247
00:11:22,849 --> 00:11:24,249
Which means all of you can
go back to work,
248
00:11:24,251 --> 00:11:25,950
Business as usual.
Business as usual?
249
00:11:25,952 --> 00:11:27,285
How is that even possible?
250
00:11:27,287 --> 00:11:29,354
You pick up the phone
and call our clients.
251
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:32,323
Show them we're as dedicated
to them as ever.
252
00:11:32,325 --> 00:11:34,392
What?
Are we really not gonna
talking about
253
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:37,062
The fact that you're the most
infamous woman in america...
The world.
254
00:11:37,064 --> 00:11:38,730
In the world right now?!
255
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:42,000
It's being handled.
By who? The white house?
256
00:11:42,002 --> 00:11:44,002
Liv, the phone has been ringing
off the hook all morning.
257
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:46,237
Aside from the reporters,
the only people getting through
258
00:11:46,239 --> 00:11:47,872
Are clients calling to fire us.
259
00:11:50,276 --> 00:11:52,744
It's olivia pope
for governor suarez.
260
00:11:52,746 --> 00:11:55,046
Yes, that olivia pope.
261
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,982
The white house is going
to bury her!
262
00:11:57,984 --> 00:11:59,484
Okay, jeff, your call,
but don't call me in two hours
263
00:11:59,486 --> 00:12:01,252
When this nonsense blows over.
264
00:12:01,254 --> 00:12:04,389
And you know who goes down
with her? Us. We all burn.
265
00:12:04,391 --> 00:12:06,057
You know it, I know it,
everybody knows it.
266
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:08,193
Ambassador heller,
guten tag.
267
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:09,828
There is no one else on earth
268
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:11,496
Who can handle something
like this better than we can.
269
00:12:11,498 --> 00:12:13,064
(pounds desk)
so that's what we do.
270
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,866
Senator, I understand
you're in a tough position.
271
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:16,401
I do, but honestly, so was I
272
00:12:16,403 --> 00:12:18,203
When I defended your son
who was guilty of rape.
273
00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:20,138
I never once left your side,
and--
274
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:22,841
We handle it.
275
00:12:22,843 --> 00:12:24,809
Even if liv won't.
276
00:12:26,045 --> 00:12:28,313
(voice breaks) I understand.
277
00:12:30,082 --> 00:12:32,016
Good-bye, sandra.
278
00:12:32,018 --> 00:12:33,818
(sets down phone)
(exhales)
279
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:36,421
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
280
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:41,192
Hello, sweetheart.
281
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:42,527
You want something.
282
00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:45,163
Shame to get scooped
by a society page blogger.
283
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:46,531
She's so beneath you.
284
00:12:46,533 --> 00:12:48,867
How does someone
that low-level get access
285
00:12:48,869 --> 00:12:50,001
To white house sources?
286
00:12:50,003 --> 00:12:51,803
Is she making it up
just to get ahead
287
00:12:51,805 --> 00:12:53,805
Or sleeping with someone...
No.
288
00:12:53,807 --> 00:12:55,240
You know, we're not
playing this game.
289
00:12:55,242 --> 00:12:56,808
I'm playing,
and if you play, too,
290
00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:58,042
You get a prize, a scoop.
291
00:12:58,044 --> 00:12:59,244
A scoop?
292
00:12:59,246 --> 00:13:00,411
A good one.
293
00:13:03,849 --> 00:13:05,850
Malloy's.
Excuse me?
294
00:13:05,852 --> 00:13:07,418
Bottom feeders like vanessa
tend to troll
295
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:09,788
For crumbs of gossip
at malloy's.
296
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:10,555
What's special
about malloy's?
297
00:13:10,557 --> 00:13:13,358
Secret service
drinks there.
298
00:13:16,829 --> 00:13:18,163
Sweetheart!
299
00:13:18,165 --> 00:13:20,465
You owe me!
300
00:13:35,881 --> 00:13:38,082
Hal.
Ma'am.
301
00:13:38,084 --> 00:13:40,852
I need to ask you
a question, hal,
302
00:13:40,854 --> 00:13:42,854
And I would like you
to be honest with me.
303
00:13:42,856 --> 00:13:46,157
About olivia pope
and my husband got started?
304
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:47,458
(sighs)
305
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:49,394
I only ask because I know
that sometimes
306
00:13:49,396 --> 00:13:51,229
You and the other agents
like to drink at malloy's
307
00:13:51,231 --> 00:13:53,865
After work, and there's
always journalists there
308
00:13:53,867 --> 00:13:56,935
Waiting around to pick up
a crumb or two.
309
00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:01,039
I know a vindictive housewife
when I see one.
310
00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:02,874
That woman couldn't wait
to tell the world
311
00:14:02,876 --> 00:14:04,375
Her husband couldn't
keep it in his pants.
312
00:14:04,377 --> 00:14:05,844
Do you blame her?
313
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:10,548
One of their trusted advisers
right under her nose.
314
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:13,151
You want another drink?
You're buying.
315
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:18,890
Did you give her a name?
316
00:14:18,892 --> 00:14:21,960
Did... You... Give... Her
a name?
317
00:14:22,561 --> 00:14:23,595
No.
318
00:14:23,597 --> 00:14:26,097
No, I didn't. I did not.
319
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:46,117
Hate to be in your shoes.
320
00:14:46,119 --> 00:14:47,585
You shouldn't be here.
321
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:49,254
Why? Because
I'm the u.S. Attorney
322
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:51,256
For the district of columbia
and may be asked
323
00:14:51,258 --> 00:14:53,258
To investigate
the president's affair with you?
324
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:55,627
I left that hat at the door.
325
00:14:55,629 --> 00:14:57,996
David--
don't say anything.
326
00:14:57,998 --> 00:15:00,265
I'm here as your friend,
and the less you say,
327
00:15:00,267 --> 00:15:01,900
The less I'll know
when the democratic leadership
328
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:03,534
Pulls me into a room
and asks me
329
00:15:03,536 --> 00:15:05,136
All their questions
about you.
330
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:07,005
So have you
made up your mind?
331
00:15:07,007 --> 00:15:09,374
About what?
332
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:11,142
About which road
you're gonna take.
333
00:15:11,144 --> 00:15:13,611
The hard one where you put on
the white hat
334
00:15:13,613 --> 00:15:15,046
And admit everything
up front,
335
00:15:15,048 --> 00:15:17,482
Or the harder one,
the one that could destroy
336
00:15:17,484 --> 00:15:19,517
Not only you,
but everyone you hold dear.
337
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,152
The one I don't want to see you
anywhere near.
338
00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:23,154
You're making
a lot of assumptions.
339
00:15:23,156 --> 00:15:26,557
Perhaps, but if there's proof,
it won't take much.
340
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:32,397
Hey, what's he...
What are you doing here?
341
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:33,965
Missed you, too.
342
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:35,066
Hey, return my calls.
343
00:15:35,068 --> 00:15:38,136
Liv, turn on your tv.
344
00:15:40,173 --> 00:15:45,209
This one provided by
one of our viewers, who--
345
00:15:45,211 --> 00:15:47,378
Can we bring up the video?
There it is.
346
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:49,380
You'll forgive
the graphic content.
347
00:15:49,382 --> 00:15:51,316
There is a young man
relieving himself
348
00:15:51,318 --> 00:15:54,719
In the foreground, but there,
in the background--
349
00:15:54,721 --> 00:15:56,087
Freeze that imagine.
350
00:15:56,089 --> 00:15:57,588
See?
351
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:59,691
That's president grant.
352
00:15:59,693 --> 00:16:03,628
That's the building
where olivia pope lives.
353
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:07,098
The first real evidence
that olivia pope
354
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,400
Is the president's mistress.
355
00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:12,670
What's our next move?
356
00:16:20,112 --> 00:16:22,380
Start a kill folder
on olivia pope.
357
00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:29,654
(cell phone rings, beeps)
358
00:16:29,656 --> 00:16:31,456
Who are you,
and how did you get this number?
359
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,124
Harrison wright,
pope and associates.
360
00:16:33,126 --> 00:16:35,193
Do you have something
from olivia?
No.
361
00:16:35,195 --> 00:16:36,627
Then I don't know you.
But you know this town,
362
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:38,296
And if the president was
having an affair with someone
363
00:16:38,298 --> 00:16:40,365
Who worked for him,
someone who does favors for him,
364
00:16:40,367 --> 00:16:41,599
Someone he does favors for,
365
00:16:41,601 --> 00:16:43,034
There are going to be
subcommittees
366
00:16:43,036 --> 00:16:44,469
On the subcommittees.
367
00:16:44,471 --> 00:16:46,337
There are gonna be special
hearings that drag on for years.
368
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:48,306
And it doesn't matter
if anything unethical happened.
369
00:16:48,308 --> 00:16:50,041
He'll be lucky
if this thing is over
370
00:16:50,043 --> 00:16:51,442
By the time he's cutting
the ribbon on his library
371
00:16:51,444 --> 00:16:56,114
It can't be liv. For all
our sakes, it can't be liv.
372
00:16:56,116 --> 00:16:58,349
As I've said,
I don't know you.
373
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:00,318
Don't call me again.
(beeps)
374
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,253
(beep)
375
00:17:02,255 --> 00:17:04,522
(sighs)
376
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:06,424
Olivia carolyn pope.
377
00:17:06,426 --> 00:17:08,292
Princeton undergrad,
georgetown law.
378
00:17:08,294 --> 00:17:10,294
Yes, I was there. I know.
379
00:17:10,296 --> 00:17:12,463
Only child. Mother maya
was in a plane crash,
380
00:17:12,465 --> 00:17:14,465
Died when olivia was 12.
381
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:17,335
Father eli curates antiquities
at the smithsonian.
382
00:17:17,337 --> 00:17:20,405
Has ever since graduating
princeton in '67.
383
00:17:20,407 --> 00:17:22,340
Where are the family photos?
There are none.
384
00:17:22,342 --> 00:17:24,742
It's a very private family,
by all accounts.
385
00:17:24,744 --> 00:17:26,310
Didn't hang
with the georgetown set.
386
00:17:26,312 --> 00:17:30,314
Most of his income on boarding
schools for his daughter,
387
00:17:30,316 --> 00:17:32,383
Because she has been
to nothing but the best--
388
00:17:32,385 --> 00:17:34,685
St. Anne's, surval montreux--
389
00:17:34,687 --> 00:17:37,555
But she never lived
in the family home again
390
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:40,191
After her mother's death.
391
00:17:40,193 --> 00:17:42,393
(clicks tongue)
I never knew that about her.
392
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:44,662
We're thinking that's where
she got the daddy issues.
393
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:46,497
Pope has a well-documented
preference
394
00:17:46,499 --> 00:17:48,299
For powerful older men.
395
00:17:48,301 --> 00:17:50,601
In fact, after college,
she had quite the reputation
396
00:17:50,603 --> 00:17:52,270
As a party girl.
397
00:17:52,272 --> 00:17:56,407
Ambassadors, lobbyists,
cabinet secretaries--
398
00:17:56,409 --> 00:17:58,476
A nice lineup
of silver foxes.
399
00:17:58,478 --> 00:18:00,511
She was working her way
up the totem pole.
400
00:18:00,513 --> 00:18:03,147
Enough!
Enough?
401
00:18:03,149 --> 00:18:06,851
To play
the ambitious slut card.
402
00:18:06,853 --> 00:18:08,419
Good work.
403
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,388
Yeah.
404
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:12,557
(papers shuffling)
405
00:18:13,792 --> 00:18:16,761
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
406
00:18:22,334 --> 00:18:25,403
(cell phone chimes)
407
00:18:26,672 --> 00:18:28,272
(chimes)
408
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:29,307
(clicks and beeps)
409
00:18:29,309 --> 00:18:30,508
Hello?
410
00:18:32,811 --> 00:18:35,213
What are you doing here?
Trying to help you,
411
00:18:35,215 --> 00:18:36,681
And given all the press
that's gathered outside,
412
00:18:36,683 --> 00:18:39,283
You're in need.
I don't need your help!
413
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:40,518
So tell me, how's work?
414
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,453
Getting many new clients
these days?
415
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,489
I'll ask the questions.
Mm.
416
00:18:44,491 --> 00:18:46,491
Where is jake ballard?
Olivia...
417
00:18:46,493 --> 00:18:49,694
Where is jake ballard?
That's not a question
you are at liberty to ask.
418
00:18:49,696 --> 00:18:51,729
Where's jake ballard?!
419
00:18:51,731 --> 00:18:53,831
Jake ballard refused
an order.
420
00:18:53,833 --> 00:18:56,334
Where is he
and what have you done with him?
421
00:18:56,336 --> 00:18:58,836
(sighs)
422
00:18:58,838 --> 00:19:03,307
No one refuses an order
423
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:05,343
In my business.
424
00:19:05,345 --> 00:19:07,411
Now you may choose
to not understand that.
425
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:10,515
You may choose to
feel disgust at that.
426
00:19:10,517 --> 00:19:12,517
You may choose to pretend
that what you do
427
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:14,685
And how you live is not
made possible by what I do
428
00:19:14,687 --> 00:19:16,454
And how I live.
429
00:19:16,456 --> 00:19:19,257
I do my job so that fatty
can watch reality tv,
430
00:19:19,259 --> 00:19:23,761
Screw their husbands or their
battery-operated products,
431
00:19:23,763 --> 00:19:26,164
And never use their teeny,
tiny brains
432
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:29,167
To think about the freedoms
that I make possible!
433
00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:33,704
Never think about the democracy
that I make possible!
434
00:19:33,706 --> 00:19:35,773
They never think about it,
so...
435
00:19:35,775 --> 00:19:38,209
They sleep like babies
at night.
436
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:45,750
Get on the plane, olivia.
You're running out of options.
437
00:19:45,752 --> 00:19:48,553
I'm never out of options.
438
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:53,357
(beeps)
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
439
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,825
(exhales)
(door whirs)
440
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:57,228
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
441
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:01,599
(clicking)
442
00:20:01,601 --> 00:20:03,501
(telephone rings)
443
00:20:03,503 --> 00:20:04,769
Identification number.
444
00:20:04,771 --> 00:20:07,538
3-zeta-5-1-9-alpha.
445
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:09,607
Password?
Providence.
446
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:13,778
(engine starts)
447
00:20:13,780 --> 00:20:16,414
(indistinct conversations)
448
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:29,327
(indistinct conversations,
clamoring)
449
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:52,717
(beeps)
450
00:20:52,719 --> 00:20:55,286
(door whirs, opens)
451
00:20:58,657 --> 00:20:59,924
Hi.
452
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:01,225
Hi.
453
00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:05,363
(door whirs, closes)
454
00:21:08,567 --> 00:21:10,301
Tom.
455
00:21:10,303 --> 00:21:11,402
Where's the president?
456
00:21:11,404 --> 00:21:12,770
He's unavailable, sir.
457
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:15,039
I need to see him.
Where is he?
458
00:21:15,041 --> 00:21:17,341
We don't have a lot of time.
Do you realize
what you've done?
459
00:21:17,343 --> 00:21:19,043
I do.
You pulled the fire alarm.
460
00:21:19,045 --> 00:21:22,046
I did.
That was a one-time thing,
liv, for extreme emergencies.
461
00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:23,781
I know.
You can't ever use it again.
462
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:25,549
The codes are already
being rewritten.
I know.
463
00:21:25,551 --> 00:21:27,518
You don't work
in the white house anymore!
464
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,919
You're not in the bubble
anymore!
465
00:21:28,921 --> 00:21:30,655
I can't get the n.S.A.
To overlook
466
00:21:30,657 --> 00:21:32,690
You being issued a providence
key again, not now.
467
00:21:32,692 --> 00:21:33,991
I understand.
If there is an attack--
468
00:21:33,993 --> 00:21:36,994
Terrorist, chemical, nuclear--
I can't get you!
469
00:21:36,996 --> 00:21:38,696
You understand?
You're on the outside.
470
00:21:38,698 --> 00:21:41,365
You're dead, because you
already pulled the fire alarm.
471
00:21:41,367 --> 00:21:44,302
We're already under attack,
and I'm already on the outside.
472
00:21:44,304 --> 00:21:47,038
My name is out there!
473
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,773
We need to talk about
how to fix this.
474
00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:51,309
We need to make a plan.
475
00:21:51,311 --> 00:21:53,377
Okay.
476
00:21:54,813 --> 00:21:55,946
We can do that.
477
00:21:55,948 --> 00:21:57,948
When all of us are here.
All of us?
478
00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:59,650
You asked cyrus to come?
479
00:21:59,652 --> 00:22:00,951
No.
480
00:22:00,953 --> 00:22:04,722
(doors whirs, opens)
481
00:22:06,091 --> 00:22:09,593
So... (sighs)
482
00:22:09,595 --> 00:22:10,761
Let's do this.
483
00:22:10,763 --> 00:22:13,531
The president
is with the first lady...
484
00:22:13,533 --> 00:22:14,932
In private.
485
00:22:14,934 --> 00:22:18,736
Having personal...
Private time.
486
00:22:18,738 --> 00:22:20,938
Fitz and mellie?
487
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:24,608
I'm sorry, you're saying
the president is off
488
00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:26,977
With his wife,
with mellie...
Mm-hmm.
489
00:22:26,979 --> 00:22:32,416
They didn't say how long...
They'd be... Sir.
490
00:22:32,418 --> 00:22:34,085
I don't see what the problem is.
It's the same plan as always.
491
00:22:34,087 --> 00:22:36,620
Fitz and I hold hands
and smile at oprah
492
00:22:36,622 --> 00:22:38,823
Or barbara walters.
We do what we always do--
493
00:22:38,825 --> 00:22:40,057
Act happy.
494
00:22:40,059 --> 00:22:42,993
And we just deny it.
Deny you.
495
00:22:42,995 --> 00:22:44,829
That would have worked
before.
Before what?
496
00:22:44,831 --> 00:22:46,831
Before you got the bright idea
to go on national television
497
00:22:46,833 --> 00:22:48,132
And tell the world
I cheated on you.
498
00:22:48,134 --> 00:22:50,101
You did cheat on me.
That's not the point.
499
00:22:50,103 --> 00:22:52,803
It's exactly the point.
Not if you want to
smile at oprah.
500
00:22:52,805 --> 00:22:56,107
If you didn't screw your whore
every chance you got.
501
00:22:56,109 --> 00:22:58,976
Mellie. I know the situation
is difficult. I do,
502
00:22:58,978 --> 00:23:00,678
And I'm so, so sorry.
503
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,113
But we have a job to do here,
504
00:23:02,115 --> 00:23:04,115
And in order for me to do
my part effectively,
505
00:23:04,117 --> 00:23:06,684
I'm going to need you to refrain
from referring to me as a whore,
506
00:23:06,686 --> 00:23:09,387
At least in front of my face,
all right?
507
00:23:09,389 --> 00:23:11,021
(huffs)
508
00:23:18,497 --> 00:23:20,030
Now... Mellie's already
told the world
509
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:23,000
You had an affair with someone,
and my name has been leaked,
510
00:23:23,002 --> 00:23:25,536
So I am now the public face
of that someone.
511
00:23:25,538 --> 00:23:27,071
I don't know.
We've got to figure out a way
512
00:23:27,073 --> 00:23:29,006
To change the narrative or...
Reclaim the narrative.
513
00:23:29,008 --> 00:23:32,143
We tell the truth.
We're looking for a way out.
514
00:23:32,145 --> 00:23:33,677
Why aren't we looking
for a way through?
515
00:23:33,679 --> 00:23:35,546
Why don't we just stand up
and tell the truth?
516
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:38,048
Mellie and I face the press,
say, "yes. I cheated.
517
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:40,918
I slept with olivia pope.
I had an affair."
518
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,720
(huffs)
519
00:23:42,722 --> 00:23:45,022
Liv?
I'm thinking.
520
00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:52,096
You and mellie do a statement
in the press room.
521
00:23:52,098 --> 00:23:53,964
No. In the rose garden.
522
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:56,133
Full press, no questions.
523
00:23:56,135 --> 00:23:57,935
You hold hands.
Mellie wears a soft color--
524
00:23:57,937 --> 00:24:00,004
Lavender or light blue.
525
00:24:00,006 --> 00:24:01,672
You bring in the kids
from boarding school,
526
00:24:01,674 --> 00:24:03,174
But you don't have them
with you for the statement.
527
00:24:03,176 --> 00:24:05,509
That always looks staged.
The kids look like pawns
528
00:24:05,511 --> 00:24:07,211
And the parents seem
opportunistic.
529
00:24:07,213 --> 00:24:08,779
But the photo op after
530
00:24:08,781 --> 00:24:10,614
Of you both meeting
jerry and karen
531
00:24:10,616 --> 00:24:12,683
As they step off the chopper?
That's kennedy.
532
00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:14,452
Perfect, especially
if baby teddy is running
533
00:24:14,454 --> 00:24:15,820
On the grass beside you.
534
00:24:15,822 --> 00:24:17,788
The next day,
you do one sit-down--
535
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:20,024
A full tell-all.
I'd go with james.
536
00:24:20,026 --> 00:24:21,625
He did the mellie interview.
537
00:24:21,627 --> 00:24:22,760
The public will like
the story of seeing him
538
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:24,094
Talking to both of you now.
539
00:24:24,096 --> 00:24:25,830
They like knowing
that he's a family friend,
540
00:24:25,832 --> 00:24:27,865
Plus cyrus can control him.
541
00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:30,000
12 hours before
your sit-down with james,
542
00:24:30,002 --> 00:24:32,470
I'll release a paper statement.
543
00:24:32,472 --> 00:24:34,972
"I regret my affair.
I've apologized to mellie.
544
00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:36,874
I've prayed,"
blah, blah, blah,
545
00:24:36,876 --> 00:24:39,944
"trying to put the whole thing
behind me," etcetera.
546
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:43,047
Barring any kind of
special prosecutor probe
547
00:24:43,049 --> 00:24:45,115
Into whether or not I was given
any favors
548
00:24:45,117 --> 00:24:46,750
Because of the relationship,
549
00:24:46,752 --> 00:24:48,252
The whole thing should be
put to bed
550
00:24:48,254 --> 00:24:50,988
Well before
the primary elections are over.
551
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:53,057
It works.
552
00:24:54,526 --> 00:24:55,826
The truth works.
553
00:24:57,863 --> 00:24:58,996
The irony.
554
00:25:00,532 --> 00:25:02,132
I'm sorry.
555
00:25:02,134 --> 00:25:04,635
The truth does not work.
556
00:25:04,637 --> 00:25:06,537
It does not work for me.
557
00:25:06,539 --> 00:25:08,005
They're gonna want details,
fitz.
558
00:25:08,007 --> 00:25:09,507
That's how this works.
559
00:25:09,509 --> 00:25:12,510
The reporters,
the special prosecutor--details.
560
00:25:12,512 --> 00:25:14,144
Dates and times
and locations.
561
00:25:14,146 --> 00:25:16,046
When did the affair start?
When did it end?
562
00:25:16,048 --> 00:25:18,082
How long did it last?
What happened when?
563
00:25:18,084 --> 00:25:20,985
What did mellie know,
and when did she know it?
564
00:25:20,987 --> 00:25:23,587
And... If all we had
to talk about
565
00:25:23,589 --> 00:25:26,190
And a cigar that had been
in interesting places,
566
00:25:26,192 --> 00:25:28,192
I'd be fine.
I would not give a damn.
567
00:25:28,194 --> 00:25:32,162
But I am not going to stand
in the rose garden
568
00:25:32,164 --> 00:25:35,299
And hold your hand while you
tell the white house press corps
569
00:25:35,301 --> 00:25:38,068
That you had an affair
with olivia pope
570
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:40,137
That lasted a year.
571
00:25:40,139 --> 00:25:42,706
(chuckles) and then ended
and then started again
572
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:45,042
And then ended
and then started again.
573
00:25:45,044 --> 00:25:46,744
And I am certainly not
gonna sit
574
00:25:46,746 --> 00:25:48,145
In the blue room
of the white house
575
00:25:48,147 --> 00:25:49,980
And hold your hand
while you tell james
576
00:25:49,982 --> 00:25:51,215
How you couldn't keep
your hands off her
577
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:53,050
On the campaign trail,
578
00:25:53,052 --> 00:25:55,019
How the secret service
drives you to her apartment
579
00:25:55,021 --> 00:25:57,821
In defiance
of security protocols,
580
00:25:57,823 --> 00:25:59,857
How when you were shot,
the name that you called out
581
00:25:59,859 --> 00:26:03,594
Was "olivia,"
or any of the many ways
582
00:26:03,596 --> 00:26:05,763
That you have degraded
our marriage,
583
00:26:05,765 --> 00:26:07,998
Because that is not you
making a mistake.
584
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,333
That is not you cheating
on me.
585
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:12,102
That is you... (sighs)
586
00:26:12,104 --> 00:26:14,738
That is me being in love
with another woman.
587
00:26:16,875 --> 00:26:17,975
(breath shudders)
588
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:24,315
If you try to tell that
disgusting fairy tale
589
00:26:24,317 --> 00:26:26,917
To the press,
590
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:30,321
I will make such a scene.
591
00:26:30,323 --> 00:26:31,689
I will open up our closet
592
00:26:31,691 --> 00:26:32,990
And I will pull out
our laundry,
593
00:26:32,992 --> 00:26:35,859
And I will share it
with the world.
594
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:39,363
I am that... Tired.
595
00:26:39,365 --> 00:26:40,965
(inhales and exhales deeply)
596
00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:48,372
How many times?
What?
597
00:26:48,374 --> 00:26:52,142
How many times
did fitz and I sleep together?
598
00:26:52,144 --> 00:26:54,044
Three? Five?
599
00:26:54,046 --> 00:26:56,080
How many
would you be okay with?
600
00:27:04,122 --> 00:27:05,189
Two.
601
00:27:05,191 --> 00:27:07,992
Okay.
602
00:27:07,994 --> 00:27:11,128
Fitz and I slept together
twice.
603
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:13,097
The first time was?
After I was elected.
604
00:27:13,099 --> 00:27:15,399
You didn't get the job because
we were sleeping together.
605
00:27:15,401 --> 00:27:17,301
Might as well make sure
nobody questions that.
606
00:27:17,303 --> 00:27:19,637
So the first time was
after you took office.
607
00:27:19,639 --> 00:27:21,138
The night
of the inauguration.
608
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:22,873
Fitz and I attended
four inaugural balls.
609
00:27:22,875 --> 00:27:24,041
We were supposed to go
to six,
610
00:27:24,043 --> 00:27:26,343
But fitz said
he was exhausted, and...
611
00:27:26,345 --> 00:27:29,713
Honestly, so was I.
It'd been a long day.
612
00:27:29,715 --> 00:27:34,018
So... We came back
to the white house.
613
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:35,886
And I went right to bed,
614
00:27:35,888 --> 00:27:39,123
But fitz was just wired,
so...
615
00:27:39,125 --> 00:27:43,360
He went down to the oval office
to just take it in...
616
00:27:43,362 --> 00:27:46,130
Which is where
he ran into you.
617
00:27:46,132 --> 00:27:48,232
I'm guessing it was
no coincidence,
618
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:49,867
Since he made a call
from our bedroom,
619
00:27:49,869 --> 00:27:52,870
But let's leave that part out
when we tell the story.
620
00:27:54,139 --> 00:27:56,707
(exhales)
let's just say
621
00:27:56,709 --> 00:27:58,108
That the two of you
got to talking,
622
00:27:58,110 --> 00:28:00,811
And...
623
00:28:00,813 --> 00:28:02,446
One thing led to another.
624
00:28:02,448 --> 00:28:04,782
It was just sex.
625
00:28:04,784 --> 00:28:06,450
It didn't mean anything.
626
00:28:06,452 --> 00:28:10,187
And you felt terrible
afterwards.
627
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:12,723
And it didn't happen
again until...
628
00:28:12,725 --> 00:28:14,158
(gasps softly)
629
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,260
After you got shot.
630
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:32,076
Okay.
631
00:28:33,211 --> 00:28:35,813
So... Twice.
632
00:28:35,815 --> 00:28:37,815
The first time
was after the inauguration,
633
00:28:37,817 --> 00:28:39,049
And then the second time...
634
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:42,052
After the assassination
attempt.
635
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:44,354
You had sex...
636
00:28:44,356 --> 00:28:46,256
Once...
637
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:52,763
After you recovered
from your gunshot wounds...
638
00:28:52,765 --> 00:28:55,399
Because you were feeling
your mortality.
639
00:28:55,401 --> 00:28:57,434
Facing death.
640
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:01,839
(exhales)
641
00:29:03,975 --> 00:29:05,342
Once on inauguration night,
642
00:29:05,344 --> 00:29:07,344
And once after
the assassination attempt.
643
00:29:07,346 --> 00:29:08,412
I'm not lying.
644
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:10,047
It's still the truth.
645
00:29:10,049 --> 00:29:12,449
Just not the whole truth.
646
00:29:15,787 --> 00:29:17,354
Are we agreed?
647
00:29:24,863 --> 00:29:26,096
Yeah. (sighs softly)
648
00:29:36,374 --> 00:29:37,508
Agreed.
649
00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:40,544
(inhales and exhales sharply)
650
00:29:40,546 --> 00:29:42,146
(pounds on door)
651
00:29:43,915 --> 00:29:46,483
(door clanks and whirs)
652
00:29:46,485 --> 00:29:48,552
(door whirs and clanks closed)
653
00:29:48,554 --> 00:29:49,820
Liv...
654
00:29:49,822 --> 00:29:51,488
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
655
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:53,190
I know that wasn't easy
for you.
656
00:29:53,192 --> 00:29:54,158
I'm fine.
657
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,093
I'm not.
658
00:29:58,129 --> 00:30:00,931
How are you?
659
00:30:00,933 --> 00:30:03,333
Really?
I'm... Fine.
660
00:30:03,335 --> 00:30:05,435
Your name's a headline.
You're not fine.
661
00:30:05,437 --> 00:30:07,871
I tell my clients all the time
that it's not personal.
662
00:30:07,873 --> 00:30:09,273
The reporters--
they're just doing their jobs.
663
00:30:09,275 --> 00:30:11,175
It's not personal.
It's not about me.
664
00:30:11,177 --> 00:30:12,309
It's the story.
665
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:15,078
I'm fine.
666
00:30:20,385 --> 00:30:22,586
Don't.
667
00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:25,255
Don't. (gasps)
668
00:30:26,124 --> 00:30:28,892
(gasps)
669
00:30:34,365 --> 00:30:35,432
(exhales)
670
00:30:35,434 --> 00:30:38,235
(gasps)
671
00:30:40,205 --> 00:30:43,106
(sobbing)
672
00:30:43,108 --> 00:30:44,341
Mm-hmm.
673
00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:48,111
(continues sobbing)
674
00:30:55,086 --> 00:30:57,921
(sniffles)
675
00:30:57,923 --> 00:31:00,057
(pounds on door)
676
00:31:00,059 --> 00:31:02,426
(door whirs)
677
00:31:02,428 --> 00:31:05,162
(door whirs, clanks closed)
678
00:31:08,233 --> 00:31:09,967
(door opens)
679
00:31:09,969 --> 00:31:11,969
Thanks for seeing me
this morning, sally.
680
00:31:11,971 --> 00:31:13,203
(door closes)
scotch?
681
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:16,206
A touch early for me, sir.
682
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:18,609
How was the senate
women's caucus?
683
00:31:18,611 --> 00:31:21,478
Angry at you,
but I handled them.
684
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,881
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
685
00:31:23,883 --> 00:31:25,616
I hope you've been
using the time wisely.
686
00:31:25,618 --> 00:31:27,918
I wrote a speech,
687
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,487
Taking full responsibility.
688
00:31:30,489 --> 00:31:32,489
Mellie and I are facing
the press at noon today.
689
00:31:32,491 --> 00:31:34,992
Mellie's standing with you?
690
00:31:34,994 --> 00:31:36,493
So your marriage will weather
this storm.
691
00:31:36,495 --> 00:31:38,629
There are the children
to consider.
692
00:31:38,631 --> 00:31:40,998
Well, that's...
693
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,667
I'm glad for you.
694
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:46,436
It's refreshing to hear
a man valuing the family.
695
00:31:46,438 --> 00:31:47,671
(exhales)
696
00:31:47,673 --> 00:31:49,473
Good men are hard
to come by.
697
00:31:52,277 --> 00:31:53,677
How is dan these days?
698
00:31:53,679 --> 00:31:55,946
Oh, fine.
699
00:31:55,948 --> 00:31:57,614
Fine. (sighs)
700
00:31:57,616 --> 00:32:01,051
Moving to d.C. Has been
exciting for him.
701
00:32:01,053 --> 00:32:04,554
My husband is having just
a little bit more...
702
00:32:04,556 --> 00:32:07,991
Fun... These days.
703
00:32:07,993 --> 00:32:11,662
He's still the same
daniel douglas. He's just...
704
00:32:11,664 --> 00:32:13,563
Fun now.
705
00:32:17,568 --> 00:32:22,072
I am the most powerful woman
in the free world.
706
00:32:22,074 --> 00:32:25,943
There are challenges
associated with that.
707
00:32:31,049 --> 00:32:33,617
Sally...
708
00:32:33,619 --> 00:32:36,053
Yes, mr. President?
709
00:32:39,490 --> 00:32:41,625
After my speech,
710
00:32:41,627 --> 00:32:44,728
There will be a window.
711
00:32:44,730 --> 00:32:46,463
Climb through it.
712
00:32:46,465 --> 00:32:50,500
Be bold. Condemn me.
713
00:32:50,502 --> 00:32:53,136
Make yourself
the moral center of the party.
714
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:56,974
Use the moment to rise.
715
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:00,978
Can you do that?
716
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,548
Oh, I believe I can,
mr. President.
717
00:33:07,652 --> 00:33:11,355
Why are you helping me?
718
00:33:11,357 --> 00:33:13,056
Why are you extending
kindness?
719
00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:19,663
Because we are not married
to one another.
720
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:36,780
Why did you schedule
the press conference?
721
00:33:36,782 --> 00:33:38,782
Because our president
told me to.
722
00:33:38,784 --> 00:33:40,150
Because you had
a secret meeting.
723
00:33:40,152 --> 00:33:41,718
They want to go public.
724
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,353
Again, aren't you
part of "they" now?
725
00:33:43,355 --> 00:33:45,589
One-third of some secret
unholy political trinity.
726
00:33:45,591 --> 00:33:47,457
They want to go public,
and we need to stop them
727
00:33:47,459 --> 00:33:48,759
And fix this.
728
00:33:48,761 --> 00:33:50,527
How?
Presser's in three hours.
729
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:52,129
I think I have a plan.
730
00:33:52,131 --> 00:33:54,364
It just needs to come
from the outside.
731
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:56,767
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
732
00:33:56,769 --> 00:33:59,336
I feel horrible about this.
We're doing the right thing.
733
00:33:59,338 --> 00:34:00,704
Olivia says
what the right thing is.
734
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:02,005
Look, it's not too late
to pull back.
735
00:34:02,007 --> 00:34:03,340
Couldn't we just
kill another intern?
736
00:34:03,342 --> 00:34:04,541
It wouldn't be that hard.
737
00:34:06,210 --> 00:34:08,245
A bad one. The worst one.
738
00:34:08,247 --> 00:34:09,613
All right, we need to be
united on this.
739
00:34:09,615 --> 00:34:10,680
Are we united on this?
740
00:34:10,682 --> 00:34:12,616
If I do this,
we all do this.
741
00:34:12,618 --> 00:34:15,085
You have to have my back.
742
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:22,759
Are we gladiators,
or... Are we bitches?
743
00:34:22,761 --> 00:34:26,129
I need to hear it.
744
00:34:26,131 --> 00:34:28,465
(all) gladiators.
745
00:34:28,467 --> 00:34:29,866
Damn right.
746
00:34:33,671 --> 00:34:38,408
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
747
00:34:40,579 --> 00:34:45,348
Just a couple of details about
the president's statement today.
748
00:34:45,350 --> 00:34:46,817
Is he gonna admit
to anything this time?
749
00:34:46,819 --> 00:34:48,485
'cause if it's
just another duck--
750
00:34:48,487 --> 00:34:52,122
Of the president's statement.
That's not why I'm here.
751
00:34:52,124 --> 00:34:54,658
I am here to remind you that
we're going live today...
752
00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:57,160
(murmuring)
at 12:04 from the... (chuckles)
753
00:34:57,162 --> 00:34:58,829
(man) turn that up.
Okay, come on, you guys.
754
00:34:58,831 --> 00:35:02,766
I think that governor grant
has the election in the bag.
755
00:35:02,768 --> 00:35:06,470
I mean, he really cares
about the middle class.
756
00:35:06,472 --> 00:35:09,272
His record on social issues
757
00:35:09,274 --> 00:35:11,508
Really resonates
with young people.
758
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:13,477
And... (giggles)
759
00:35:13,479 --> 00:35:14,811
Most importantly,
760
00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:19,116
He is freakin' hot!
761
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:20,684
(reporters shouting questions)
762
00:35:20,686 --> 00:35:23,153
(rick james' "super freak"
playing)
763
00:35:23,155 --> 00:35:24,554
(james) I'm reporting to you
live from the white house,
764
00:35:24,556 --> 00:35:26,356
Where counter to earlier
erroneous reports
765
00:35:26,358 --> 00:35:28,125
Of olivia pope being...
766
00:35:28,127 --> 00:35:30,360
We now have two high-level
white house officials
767
00:35:30,362 --> 00:35:33,763
That 26-year-old
communications aide
768
00:35:33,765 --> 00:35:36,800
Jeannine locke is the other
woman in the grant affair.
769
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:39,369
You have to believe me.
People have to believe me.
770
00:35:39,371 --> 00:35:41,805
I never--none of this--
any of it--is true.
771
00:35:41,807 --> 00:35:43,807
I mean, yeah,
I called him hot.
772
00:35:43,809 --> 00:35:45,675
(woman) sources say there are
multiple e-mails
773
00:35:45,677 --> 00:35:47,410
From jeannine to friends
774
00:35:47,412 --> 00:35:49,613
Detailing her strong feelings
for the president.
775
00:35:49,615 --> 00:35:52,582
My name, my picture
are all over the tv.
776
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:54,584
My private e-mails.
777
00:35:54,586 --> 00:35:56,419
Do I need a lawyer, cy?
778
00:35:56,421 --> 00:35:59,689
"super awesome," "super cool,"
and "super doable"--
779
00:35:59,691 --> 00:36:01,658
Just a few of the adjectives
locke used in e-mails
780
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:03,527
To describe the president.
781
00:36:03,529 --> 00:36:04,828
Guilty people call lawyers.
782
00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:06,830
The white house
will handle this.
783
00:36:06,832 --> 00:36:09,332
I personally
will handle this.
784
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:10,867
(james) ...With multiple
sources also confirming
785
00:36:10,869 --> 00:36:12,636
Jeannine locke
and the president
786
00:36:12,638 --> 00:36:15,672
Had what they describe as,
quote, "a brief fling"...
787
00:36:15,674 --> 00:36:18,542
You're not alone in this.
We're all here for you.
788
00:36:18,544 --> 00:36:20,377
You're part of the family.
789
00:36:20,379 --> 00:36:22,712
(james) ...Those sources
at the same time denying
790
00:36:22,714 --> 00:36:24,548
That olivia pope had
any form
791
00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:26,316
Of inappropriate relationship
with the president.
792
00:36:26,318 --> 00:36:30,187
One thing is clear--
olivia pope is owed an apology.
793
00:36:30,189 --> 00:36:32,355
Leading every net.
Of course it is.
794
00:36:32,357 --> 00:36:35,458
¶ that girl's all right
with me ¶
795
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:38,228
What did you do?
796
00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:39,796
¶ yeah
797
00:36:39,798 --> 00:36:41,798
¶ hey, hey, hey, hey
798
00:36:44,336 --> 00:36:50,507
Calm down, honey.
What the hell is going on?
What the hell did cyrus do?
799
00:36:50,509 --> 00:36:51,975
What the hell did he do
to that poor, innocent girl?
800
00:36:51,977 --> 00:36:53,410
Jeannine?
She's a kid!
801
00:36:53,412 --> 00:36:54,811
What did he do?
It doesn't make any sense.
802
00:36:54,813 --> 00:36:56,513
We have a press conference
scheduled.
803
00:36:56,515 --> 00:36:58,815
You and I need to get out to
the rose garden in 20 minutes.
804
00:36:58,817 --> 00:37:00,784
And then we have to amend
our statements?
805
00:37:00,786 --> 00:37:02,586
We should call
the speechwriters,
806
00:37:02,588 --> 00:37:03,954
See if we can get them
to change these remarks
807
00:37:03,956 --> 00:37:05,522
So it's clear
that it wasn't jeannine.
808
00:37:05,524 --> 00:37:08,458
I don't think so.
What?
809
00:37:08,460 --> 00:37:10,360
You could go out there
and say that it wasn't jeannine,
810
00:37:10,362 --> 00:37:11,628
That it was olivia.
811
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:13,997
You could say someone
must have made a mistake,
812
00:37:13,999 --> 00:37:15,365
Gotten the story wrong.
813
00:37:15,367 --> 00:37:17,434
You could.
I won't be with you.
814
00:37:17,436 --> 00:37:19,803
Cyrus won't stand by you.
The democrats would love that.
815
00:37:19,805 --> 00:37:21,871
They'd open up
a special investigation,
816
00:37:21,873 --> 00:37:24,341
Dig through every e-mail,
every promotion,
817
00:37:24,343 --> 00:37:25,942
Every late-night call log
from the oval,
818
00:37:25,944 --> 00:37:27,544
And then you'd get impeached.
819
00:37:27,546 --> 00:37:30,347
Why are you so happy
to jump on cyrus' plan
820
00:37:30,349 --> 00:37:33,883
"cyrus' plan." no.
See, leaking jeannine's name
821
00:37:33,885 --> 00:37:35,518
Was my plan.
822
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,654
It was this crazy idea
I got from you.
823
00:37:37,656 --> 00:37:39,422
From me?
Mm.
824
00:37:39,424 --> 00:37:42,259
What?
After you leaked
olivia's name.
825
00:37:47,398 --> 00:37:49,633
(exhales)
826
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:53,403
The upsetting thing about
being as educated as I am
827
00:37:53,405 --> 00:37:56,573
And as intelligent as I am
is that being first lady
828
00:37:56,575 --> 00:37:59,442
Is profoundly boring.
829
00:37:59,444 --> 00:38:02,412
What did you call me?
Ornamental? Not functional?
830
00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:04,447
I am a rose
dying on the vine here.
831
00:38:04,449 --> 00:38:06,783
Give me a war to run
or the c.I.A.
832
00:38:06,785 --> 00:38:09,452
Or something, but...
833
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:13,857
I use the copious amounts
of free time I have to think.
834
00:38:13,859 --> 00:38:15,525
And I have been thinking--
835
00:38:15,527 --> 00:38:18,295
Who could have possibly
leaked that name, and why?
836
00:38:18,297 --> 00:38:19,596
And then I realized--
837
00:38:19,598 --> 00:38:22,432
Who would benefit the most?
838
00:38:22,434 --> 00:38:24,501
My idealistic,
839
00:38:24,503 --> 00:38:27,370
Romantic, optimistic,
840
00:38:27,372 --> 00:38:29,839
Idiotic husband.
841
00:38:32,076 --> 00:38:33,410
Sir?
842
00:38:33,412 --> 00:38:36,479
Shut the door, tom.
I need a favor.
843
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:39,516
You want another drink?
You're buying.
844
00:38:39,518 --> 00:38:41,718
(indistinct conversations)
845
00:38:45,856 --> 00:38:47,791
Good thing he's off
tomorrow, huh?
846
00:38:47,793 --> 00:38:49,392
No way, tommy.
847
00:38:49,394 --> 00:38:51,027
Who's this trusted advisor?
848
00:38:51,029 --> 00:38:52,896
Mm... (chuckles)
849
00:38:52,898 --> 00:38:54,497
(inhales)
850
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:58,802
Just between me and you,
right?
851
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:01,538
It's olivia pope.
852
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,774
You thought if you leaked
olivia's name
853
00:39:04,776 --> 00:39:06,776
And then I stood next to you
and held your hand
854
00:39:06,778 --> 00:39:08,578
And smiled while you told
the press everything you did,
855
00:39:08,580 --> 00:39:10,380
That it would neutralize
the situation.
856
00:39:10,382 --> 00:39:14,584
Stop looking for a way out
and look for a way through?
857
00:39:14,586 --> 00:39:16,586
Get me to play the good wife,
control me,
858
00:39:16,588 --> 00:39:18,455
And by extension, the nation,
859
00:39:18,457 --> 00:39:20,090
Because--and here's
the best part--
860
00:39:20,092 --> 00:39:21,491
You still somehow believe
861
00:39:21,493 --> 00:39:23,059
The country will eventually
embrace you
862
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:26,096
Bringing your whore into
the white house as first lady.
863
00:39:26,098 --> 00:39:29,833
And step one--
leaking live's name. (scoffs)
864
00:39:30,835 --> 00:39:33,002
No.
865
00:39:33,004 --> 00:39:35,472
Step one...
866
00:39:35,474 --> 00:39:38,508
Was me to coming blair house
and laying my head in your lap
867
00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:40,944
Like a gave a damn about
your forgiveness.
868
00:39:40,946 --> 00:39:43,847
This is a war, mellie.
You and I are at war.
869
00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:46,449
What happened today is just
one battle of many.
870
00:39:46,451 --> 00:39:47,584
And let's be clear.
871
00:39:47,586 --> 00:39:49,886
The reason I leaked liv's name
872
00:39:49,888 --> 00:39:51,588
Is because as long as you had
her name
873
00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:55,091
In your arsenal of weapons,
olivia was at your mercy.
874
00:39:55,093 --> 00:39:56,626
Now she is free.
875
00:40:11,509 --> 00:40:13,009
Right now
876
00:40:13,011 --> 00:40:14,577
You're good.
877
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:17,080
You're golden.
878
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:19,716
You're in the clear, liv.
879
00:40:22,153 --> 00:40:23,820
There is nothing wrong
880
00:40:23,822 --> 00:40:26,523
With a little
self-preservation.
881
00:40:27,691 --> 00:40:29,959
Doesn't mean
you don't wear the white hat.
882
00:40:31,829 --> 00:40:34,864
We've got a client.
Let's get to work.
883
00:40:39,737 --> 00:40:41,971
It's cyrus again, jeannine.
Just trying to catch you.
884
00:40:41,973 --> 00:40:44,707
I know you must be scared,
but just hold tight.
885
00:40:44,709 --> 00:40:46,776
We'll get this
whole thing straightened.
886
00:40:46,778 --> 00:40:49,646
(gun cocks, switch clicks)
887
00:40:51,582 --> 00:40:54,851
Ooh. Sorry. Shoes on the covers.
How rude of me.
888
00:40:54,853 --> 00:40:56,820
Did you... Is he...
889
00:40:56,822 --> 00:40:59,222
Dead? (chuckles) no.
890
00:40:59,224 --> 00:41:01,191
He's just taking a little
drug-induced nappy.
891
00:41:01,193 --> 00:41:03,726
Baby's out, too.
Didn't have to drug her.
892
00:41:03,728 --> 00:41:05,728
That fancy swing you got
in there's worth every penny.
893
00:41:05,730 --> 00:41:07,163
What do you want, charlie?
894
00:41:07,165 --> 00:41:09,566
It's not what I want.
You know how I work.
895
00:41:09,568 --> 00:41:13,203
Always serving
a higher purpose.
896
00:41:13,205 --> 00:41:14,571
(door creaks)
897
00:41:14,573 --> 00:41:18,208
(water dripping faintly)
898
00:41:18,210 --> 00:41:19,876
I would have called,
but I couldn't risk
899
00:41:19,878 --> 00:41:21,878
Secret service being
anywhere near
900
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,814
The conversation
we're about to have.
901
00:41:24,816 --> 00:41:27,083
Trunk was very comfortable,
thank you.
902
00:41:27,085 --> 00:41:29,586
Thumbprint, please.
(taps)
903
00:41:29,588 --> 00:41:30,854
I need to break the seal
on this, and I can't
904
00:41:30,856 --> 00:41:33,156
Until I raise
your security clearance.
905
00:41:33,158 --> 00:41:36,259
(beeps, whirs)
other hand.
906
00:41:36,261 --> 00:41:38,728
(whirs)
and your signature.
907
00:41:39,730 --> 00:41:41,064
So...
908
00:41:41,066 --> 00:41:42,232
(whirs)
charlie...
909
00:41:42,234 --> 00:41:47,237
When the republic is in danger,
there's no place for spite.
910
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,539
If you're talking about
the president's affair
911
00:41:49,541 --> 00:41:51,074
With olivia--
this is bigger than that.
912
00:41:51,076 --> 00:41:54,244
What do you know...
About operation remington?
913
00:41:54,246 --> 00:41:56,713
Only that it was a classified
mission that fitz flew
914
00:41:56,715 --> 00:41:59,849
With jake ballard in iran
back when they were in the navy.
915
00:41:59,851 --> 00:42:01,184
Most of it's redacted.
916
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:02,585
This...
(folder lands on table)
917
00:42:02,587 --> 00:42:05,188
Is what really happened
on that mission.
918
00:42:07,791 --> 00:42:09,559
(seal tears)
919
00:42:19,603 --> 00:42:21,638
Oh, my god.
920
00:42:22,606 --> 00:42:23,973
(gasps)
921
00:42:23,975 --> 00:42:25,642
(projector and camera shutter
clicks)
