1
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:03,235
I don't think it is
a matter of the president
2
00:00:03,237 --> 00:00:04,570
Showing leadership.
3
00:00:04,572 --> 00:00:07,439
In him not showing
certain things.
A star is born.
4
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:12,011
At 15, josephine marcus walked
into a maternity ward pregnant.
5
00:00:12,013 --> 00:00:14,046
But when she walked out,
there was no baby
6
00:00:14,048 --> 00:00:15,681
And no birth certificate.
7
00:00:15,683 --> 00:00:17,349
(jake) pete foster tattooed
the navy flight plan
8
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:19,118
For a secret mission
called operation remington.
9
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,386
There were five of us
on the ground
10
00:00:20,388 --> 00:00:21,754
And one plane flying
air support.
11
00:00:21,756 --> 00:00:23,155
That pilot was the president.
12
00:00:23,157 --> 00:00:25,024
So why does this guy
go get a tattoo
13
00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:31,030
What the hell is this?
A reunion
that is long overdue.
14
00:00:35,602 --> 00:00:36,735
What?
15
00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:40,372
It's just astonishing,
that's all.
16
00:00:40,374 --> 00:00:44,076
And you haven't once accused me
of any crimes against humanity.
17
00:00:44,078 --> 00:00:46,378
(huffs)
I think we're making progress.
18
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:50,449
No? (laughs)
19
00:00:50,451 --> 00:00:52,418
You know
what I've learned?
Mnh-mnh.
20
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:55,554
I've learned that accusing
you of things means nothing.
21
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:58,424
It leads to power games
and moves
22
00:00:58,426 --> 00:01:00,159
And you making my friends
kill people.
23
00:01:00,161 --> 00:01:03,295
So instead of speaking my mind,
instead of being the brave,
24
00:01:03,297 --> 00:01:05,597
Outspoken girl my mother
taught me to be,
25
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:09,268
I'm chewing my food,
fulfilling my contract.
26
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:10,769
And when we're done,
I'll go home
27
00:01:10,771 --> 00:01:13,772
And immediately try to forget
this ever happened.
28
00:01:13,774 --> 00:01:16,442
Until next Sunday,
when we do it all again.
29
00:01:16,444 --> 00:01:18,811
How fascinating, that you think
that's your mother's legacy,
30
00:01:18,813 --> 00:01:21,246
Being brave and outspoken,
31
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:22,681
When everything you've become,
everything you are,
32
00:01:22,683 --> 00:01:25,651
I think you mean
in spite of you.
33
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:28,087
Two sides of the same coin,
my dear. Thank you.
34
00:01:28,089 --> 00:01:29,721
As for...
35
00:01:29,723 --> 00:01:32,591
Making your friends
kill people,
36
00:01:32,593 --> 00:01:35,594
That's something huck
brought on himself.
37
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:40,132
He leaves me alone,
I'll leave him alone.
38
00:01:40,134 --> 00:01:41,834
Jake, too.
39
00:01:41,836 --> 00:01:43,368
They're done with dinner.
He's on his way back.
40
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:44,770
Crap. How far away's
the restaurant?
41
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:46,738
Three minutes,
four with traffic.
42
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:48,674
Great.
How convenient for him.
You need to move.
43
00:01:48,676 --> 00:01:51,643
Really?
You are going to be
compromised.
44
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:53,612
I'm gonna be compromised? Look,
I understand the stakes here.
45
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:55,114
I'm a spy, too.
You got it yet?
46
00:01:55,116 --> 00:01:56,748
No. Where is he?
He's in the driveway.
47
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:58,350
What? So much for traffic.
48
00:01:58,352 --> 00:01:59,818
I have to re-arm
the alarm system.
(typing rapidly)
49
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:01,386
Just--just wait.
50
00:02:01,388 --> 00:02:03,222
I can't. He'll see
the alarm's disabled.
51
00:02:03,224 --> 00:02:04,323
He'll know you're there.
Damn it!
52
00:02:04,325 --> 00:02:05,424
(beeping)
53
00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:07,726
(beeps)
54
00:02:07,728 --> 00:02:11,630
(door knob turning,
door opens)
55
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:12,865
(door closes)
56
00:02:12,867 --> 00:02:14,533
(beeping)
57
00:02:14,535 --> 00:02:16,568
Alarm system's disabled again.
You're free to go.
58
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:18,770
(whispering) come on, come on,
come on. Almost there.
(whirring)
59
00:02:18,772 --> 00:02:20,539
(keys jangling)
60
00:02:20,541 --> 00:02:21,840
(faint, indistinct noise)
61
00:02:33,586 --> 00:02:35,587
You got it yet?
62
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:36,889
Come on, come on.
63
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:39,758
(whirring stops)
64
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:53,405
(keys jangling)
65
00:03:00,813 --> 00:03:02,514
You got it?
66
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:03,849
Yeah, I got it.
67
00:03:03,851 --> 00:03:09,588
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
68
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:11,823
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
69
00:03:11,825 --> 00:03:14,326
Is this the--
the resolute desk, yes.
70
00:03:14,328 --> 00:03:16,862
John-john used to peek out
from that little door there.
71
00:03:16,864 --> 00:03:18,864
It is something!
Mr. Bergen--
72
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:21,800
Leo. You can call me leo,
mrs. Grant.
(laughs)
73
00:03:21,802 --> 00:03:23,202
Is this the original?
Leo--
74
00:03:23,204 --> 00:03:24,770
Looks like the original.
My god.
75
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:27,806
Leo, I'm sure you're wondering
76
00:03:27,808 --> 00:03:29,942
Why we've invited you
here today.
77
00:03:29,944 --> 00:03:31,677
You are gonna ask me to run
78
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:33,812
The president's
re-election campaign.
79
00:03:33,814 --> 00:03:36,615
Yes.
We want you
80
00:03:36,617 --> 00:03:39,585
And your strategic brilliance,
your unconventional thinking,
81
00:03:39,587 --> 00:03:40,986
And of course,
your penchant for throwing
82
00:03:40,988 --> 00:03:43,222
An elbow or two every once
in a while. (giggles)
83
00:03:43,224 --> 00:03:46,358
We're offering you a chance
to stand at the center
84
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,993
Of what's going to be
the best-funded,
85
00:03:47,995 --> 00:03:50,329
Best-organized campaign
this country's even seen.
86
00:03:50,331 --> 00:03:51,997
Top talent only, leo.
87
00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:53,632
What do you say?
88
00:03:53,634 --> 00:03:55,968
Perhaps this is
a conversation best had
89
00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:58,270
Between you and me, cyrus.
90
00:03:58,272 --> 00:04:00,706
Certainly--
no, no. I am
in this to win,
91
00:04:00,708 --> 00:04:02,808
So don't treat me
like the first lady.
92
00:04:02,810 --> 00:04:04,843
Think of me as simply
a member of the team.
93
00:04:04,845 --> 00:04:07,546
In this conversation,
fitz is not my husband.
94
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:08,814
He's our guy.
95
00:04:09,882 --> 00:04:11,550
Okay.
96
00:04:11,552 --> 00:04:13,752
Your guy has a few things
going for him.
97
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:14,953
He's a decorated vet.
98
00:04:14,955 --> 00:04:16,521
He survived
an assassination attempt.
99
00:04:16,523 --> 00:04:17,856
He's great on his feet.
100
00:04:17,858 --> 00:04:19,925
But he's got problems,
big problems.
101
00:04:19,927 --> 00:04:21,827
Character problems,
credibility problems,
102
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:24,396
Penis problems, as in
he can't keep it in his pants.
103
00:04:24,398 --> 00:04:25,731
He's also got...
Mm-hmm.
104
00:04:25,733 --> 00:04:27,766
A marriage problem.
I'm sorry, ma'am,
105
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:31,036
But he has a "his wife is
a frigid shrew" problem.
106
00:04:31,038 --> 00:04:33,772
All candidates have problems.
It's why people like us exist.
107
00:04:33,774 --> 00:04:37,509
Yes, but I...
Won't work for a loser.
108
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:40,912
Losers? (scoffs) we're talking
about a sitting president.
109
00:04:40,914 --> 00:04:42,547
Cy, I don't care
about his problems.
110
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:44,783
I care about optics,
how he looks.
111
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:46,785
The man looks unhappy.
He looks beleaguered.
112
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:48,020
He looks like hasn't had
a good--
113
00:04:48,022 --> 00:04:50,822
Ma'am, I apologize--
screw in a long time.
114
00:04:50,824 --> 00:04:52,758
He looks like a loser.
115
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,727
Your guy's heart isn't in it.
116
00:04:55,729 --> 00:04:57,896
He's gonna lose.
117
00:04:57,898 --> 00:04:58,997
Don't get me wrong.
118
00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:00,766
I appreciate the big show,
119
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:02,901
The invitation
to the oval office.
120
00:05:02,903 --> 00:05:04,403
But as hallowed
as this office is,
121
00:05:04,405 --> 00:05:07,673
Right now it smells
like desperation.
122
00:05:07,675 --> 00:05:10,409
Like losing. It smells like
nixon in '74 in here.
123
00:05:10,411 --> 00:05:12,544
(huffs) I don't do losers.
124
00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:14,613
(chuckles) besides,
we all know
125
00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:15,914
I'm really only here
because you destroyed
126
00:05:15,916 --> 00:05:18,016
Your relationship
with olivia pope.
127
00:05:18,018 --> 00:05:19,885
Thank you for the offer,
but I'm due on the hill
128
00:05:19,887 --> 00:05:21,753
To meet with josie marcus
in 20 minutes, so...
129
00:05:21,755 --> 00:05:23,555
Best of luck.
130
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,761
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
131
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:31,463
You don't need branding,
congresswoman.
132
00:05:31,465 --> 00:05:32,764
You seem to have a very
strong grasp
133
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:34,466
On who you are
and what you believe in.
134
00:05:34,468 --> 00:05:35,967
I don't need my ass kissed,
ms. Pope.
135
00:05:35,969 --> 00:05:38,036
You don't need branding.
You need discipline.
136
00:05:38,038 --> 00:05:39,738
You need gravitas.
137
00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:41,106
You do not feel presidential.
138
00:05:41,108 --> 00:05:43,375
I do not trust you
with the nuclear codes.
139
00:05:43,377 --> 00:05:45,344
You're charming, but you're
easily flustered.
140
00:05:45,346 --> 00:05:46,845
You're fresh,
but you're inexperienced.
141
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:48,613
You feel like
a high schooler
142
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:52,851
I can change that. I can
help you push the undecideds
143
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:55,620
In your party off the fence
and into your camp.
144
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:56,788
Thank you, ms. Pope.
That's all the time we have.
145
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:59,024
Oh, she's hired.
146
00:05:59,026 --> 00:06:01,827
Josie, we have more
candidates to consider.
147
00:06:01,829 --> 00:06:04,396
Leo bergen's outside waiting.
Send him home then.
148
00:06:04,398 --> 00:06:05,530
And can you clear the room?
149
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:08,100
I need a moment alone
with ms. Pope.
150
00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:10,969
Sorry, candi. You, too.
151
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,375
My little sister.
She's very protective.
152
00:06:16,377 --> 00:06:21,580
Now, truth is, I don't really
need much of a campaign manager.
153
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:22,981
Then why did you
just hire me?
154
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:26,718
Because you fix problems,
and I've got a big one.
155
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,388
I had a baby at 15.
156
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:31,423
Gave it up
and never looked back.
157
00:06:31,425 --> 00:06:32,958
How many people know?
158
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,160
My mother, god rest her.
She covered her tracks.
159
00:06:35,162 --> 00:06:36,695
Candi doesn't even know.
160
00:06:36,697 --> 00:06:39,831
But I'd say there are about
five other people
161
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:42,868
Back in red springs who could
talk if they wanted to.
162
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:44,936
You were a teenager
who made a difficult choice
163
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:46,605
In a difficult situation.
164
00:06:46,607 --> 00:06:48,140
We can spin this
any number of ways
165
00:06:48,142 --> 00:06:50,142
To galvanize your base
and solidify female support.
166
00:06:50,144 --> 00:06:51,576
No.
167
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:52,978
That baby's
a grown woman now.
168
00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:54,780
She's out there somewhere
living her life,
169
00:06:54,782 --> 00:06:56,114
And she deserves her privacy.
170
00:06:56,116 --> 00:06:58,683
I'm not gonna use this
for political gain, okay?
171
00:06:58,685 --> 00:07:00,051
Not now, not ever.
Congresswoman--
172
00:07:00,053 --> 00:07:02,788
Did you hear me?
You heard my problem.
173
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:04,856
Now go ahead and fix it.
174
00:07:12,198 --> 00:07:14,499
I'm gonna need you all
on the next flight
175
00:07:14,501 --> 00:07:16,435
To red springs, montana.
176
00:07:16,437 --> 00:07:19,938
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
177
00:07:21,741 --> 00:07:24,476
The sex is great.
I think most guys would be happy
178
00:07:24,478 --> 00:07:25,944
With twice in one morning.
179
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:28,213
(lowered voice) I wasn't trying
to sneak out, david. It's...
180
00:07:28,215 --> 00:07:29,781
I didn't want
to wake you up.
181
00:07:29,783 --> 00:07:31,550
It's just gonna take
a while.
182
00:07:31,552 --> 00:07:32,818
He's got everything
seriously encrypted.
183
00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:34,553
Who are you talking to?
It's nobody.
184
00:07:34,555 --> 00:07:37,856
Correspondents' dinner?
Yeah, I guess.
185
00:07:37,858 --> 00:07:39,825
No, I'll go.
186
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,993
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
(hawk cries)
187
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:49,234
Why are we stopping?
Sadly, we're here.
188
00:07:49,236 --> 00:07:51,937
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
189
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:57,742
(sighs) this is the suite.
Let's just find
these people,
190
00:07:57,744 --> 00:07:59,177
Shut it down,
and get out of dodge.
191
00:07:59,179 --> 00:08:01,046
Aside from josie's mother
who died years ago,
192
00:08:01,048 --> 00:08:03,181
There were five other people
who knew she was pregnant--
193
00:08:03,183 --> 00:08:04,883
The doctor who delivered
the baby,
194
00:08:04,885 --> 00:08:06,685
The nurse who assisted him,
her high school best friend,
195
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:08,186
Her cousin.
Don't forget
the baby daddy.
196
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:09,788
Billy joe lee. Seriously?
Billy joe lee?
197
00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:11,857
Three first names?
198
00:08:11,859 --> 00:08:13,725
Okay, abby, let's just
start with the doctor.
199
00:08:13,727 --> 00:08:15,227
Wait, what about me?
Baby huck it.
200
00:08:15,229 --> 00:08:16,695
Help him track down the nurse.
201
00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:19,097
(computer beeps, door opens)
202
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:22,968
(door closes)
huck?
203
00:08:22,970 --> 00:08:24,236
(door closes)
204
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:29,941
(beeping)
205
00:08:33,145 --> 00:08:35,814
(taps key)
almost didn't know
where to look for you.
206
00:08:35,816 --> 00:08:37,782
Someone I haven't seen
in 20 years,
207
00:08:37,784 --> 00:08:39,618
And then it struck me--
208
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:42,087
You're exactly
where I left you.
209
00:08:42,089 --> 00:08:45,090
Standing in the shadows.
Pulling my strings.
210
00:08:45,092 --> 00:08:46,558
You act
like this is personal.
211
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,793
Oh, it's personal to me.
212
00:08:48,795 --> 00:08:50,962
What you did to pete foster--
pete foster committed suic--
213
00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:53,198
Don't lie to me.
214
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,933
You've wanted him dead
from the beginning,
215
00:08:54,935 --> 00:08:56,701
And you finally
got your way.
216
00:08:56,703 --> 00:08:58,203
So who's next?
217
00:08:58,205 --> 00:09:00,038
Who else has to die
to protect a secret
218
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,907
That no one on this planet
is looking for?
219
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:04,809
As we speak,
our computer specialists
220
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:07,279
Are tracing the I.P. Address
that accessed...
221
00:09:07,281 --> 00:09:08,847
(opens drawer)
222
00:09:08,849 --> 00:09:12,083
These files on pete foster
from the navy's server.
223
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:15,186
Someone is looking.
224
00:09:15,188 --> 00:09:16,288
(taps key)
225
00:09:18,658 --> 00:09:20,792
(cell phone rings)
226
00:09:20,794 --> 00:09:22,127
You got something?
227
00:09:22,129 --> 00:09:23,795
Surveillance footage
of a meeting
228
00:09:23,797 --> 00:09:26,932
Sounds like they were
talking about remington.
229
00:09:26,934 --> 00:09:28,333
So the president's in on it?
230
00:09:28,335 --> 00:09:32,103
When he didn't?
Maybe because he was
doing something else,
231
00:09:32,105 --> 00:09:33,872
Something they wanted
to cover up.
232
00:09:33,874 --> 00:09:35,607
Also, command knows
someone's digging.
233
00:09:35,609 --> 00:09:36,942
He doesn't know who.
Yeah, I think he does.
234
00:09:36,944 --> 00:09:39,344
Jake ballard?
Get in the car.
235
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:42,347
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
236
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,655
You know, I have a phone.
It works.
237
00:09:50,657 --> 00:09:51,890
I even answer it sometimes.
238
00:09:51,892 --> 00:09:53,692
Maybe I wanted
to get in your head.
239
00:09:56,729 --> 00:09:58,797
I got to play in a game
with lebron james.
240
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:00,899
Perk of the gig,
but like everyone else,
241
00:10:00,901 --> 00:10:03,234
He took it easy on me.
242
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:04,369
That was never a problem
with you.
243
00:10:04,371 --> 00:10:06,104
It's been a while.
244
00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:13,745
Oh, I'm sure it has.
245
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:17,248
("pick up the pieces" by

246
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,051

00:10:22,355 --> 00:10:24,289
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
248
00:10:24,291 --> 00:10:25,757
Here we go. Ready?
249
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:29,761
¶
250
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:30,962
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
251
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:32,764
(both grunting)
252
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:36,301
Ah, come on.
Should've fouled me.
253
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:37,402
I don't play dirty.
254
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:40,105
Oh, you changed your game?
(laughs)
255
00:10:40,107 --> 00:10:42,107
¶
256
00:10:42,109 --> 00:10:43,408
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
257
00:10:45,277 --> 00:10:48,413
That's game.
Uh, no. Nice try.
It's win by 2.
258
00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:51,249
¶
259
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:53,118

00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:04,062
(grunts)
(grunts loudly)
261
00:11:04,064 --> 00:11:06,331
(panting)
262
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:07,699
Come on.
263
00:11:07,701 --> 00:11:09,367
Thought you didn't play dirty.
(grunts)
264
00:11:09,369 --> 00:11:11,436
Well, when in rome,
right?
265
00:11:11,438 --> 00:11:14,205
What the hell does that mean?
You tell me, sir.
266
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:16,675
(lowered voice) you were
supposed to watch her, remember?
267
00:11:16,677 --> 00:11:18,043
That's it.
268
00:11:18,045 --> 00:11:19,310
You lied to me.
269
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:20,712
(scoffs)
270
00:11:20,714 --> 00:11:23,048
I'm not talking about olivia.
271
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:27,218
(dribbling)
272
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:30,355
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
273
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:40,198

274
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,734
(clicks and beeps)
275
00:11:42,736 --> 00:11:44,135
Hello?
276
00:11:44,137 --> 00:11:45,704
(cyrus) how would you
like a job?
277
00:11:45,706 --> 00:11:48,039
Been there, done that.
No, thanks.
278
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:51,076
Not that.
A smaller job.
279
00:11:51,078 --> 00:11:52,877
We're looking for dirt
on josie marcus.
280
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,281
I've got a kid running the show
out in montana, but... (scoffs)
281
00:11:56,283 --> 00:11:57,449
He's in over his head.
282
00:11:57,451 --> 00:11:59,384
Josie marcus
the congresswoman?
283
00:11:59,386 --> 00:12:00,985
Right now she's great
for us.
284
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:02,387
She's killing
in the democratic debates,
285
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:03,888
Landing some punches
on reston
286
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,156
Before he wins the nomination.
287
00:12:05,158 --> 00:12:06,825
But if she were to win
this thing--
288
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:08,293
It'd be fitz
against a woman.
289
00:12:08,295 --> 00:12:09,894
You want the job?
290
00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:11,496
(chuckles) I think
it's a bad idea for me
291
00:12:11,498 --> 00:12:13,231
To work for the white house
right now.
292
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:15,033
Can't blame me for trying.
293
00:12:15,035 --> 00:12:16,501
(beeps)
294
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:21,873
Harrison?
295
00:12:21,875 --> 00:12:23,408
You've got company
in montana.
296
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:25,877
White house has got a team
down here.
297
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:28,480
Oh, and doctor was a dead end.
He died two weeks ago.
298
00:12:28,482 --> 00:12:30,448
Well, here's the addresses
for these three.
299
00:12:30,450 --> 00:12:32,383
The last one, the nurse,
she retired 16 years ago,
300
00:12:32,385 --> 00:12:35,286
Well, you know, I could
run her through the--
I'll find her.
301
00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:38,022
Have you seen the way
he's been treating me lately?
302
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:39,424
He's completely
freezing me out.
303
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:41,226
Yeah, well, you went all
"drill, baby, drill" on him.
304
00:12:41,228 --> 00:12:44,229
Yeah, he told us.
You're grounded. Let's go.
305
00:12:44,231 --> 00:12:46,331
("machine gun" by
the commodores playing)
306
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:47,799
Can I help you folks?
307
00:12:47,801 --> 00:12:49,434
You were best friends
with a josephine marcus
308
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:54,005
Hell, yeah, I'm josie's
cousin. Who's askin'?
309
00:12:54,007 --> 00:12:55,974
Me and josie--
high school sweethearts.
310
00:12:55,976 --> 00:12:58,042
You got that right.
You had a baby with josie.
311
00:12:58,044 --> 00:12:59,511
We're here to see
that never gets out.
312
00:12:59,513 --> 00:13:01,446
Now hold on a minute.
313
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,348
I'm afraid I don't know
what you're talking about.
314
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:05,150
That right there
is a whole can of worms
315
00:13:05,152 --> 00:13:07,018
That don't really need
to be reopened.
316
00:13:07,020 --> 00:13:09,254
Our point exactly,
billy joe.
317
00:13:09,256 --> 00:13:11,389
Oh, I'm so relieved to hear
we're all on the same page.
318
00:13:11,391 --> 00:13:13,391
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
319
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:16,361
There's 10 grand in this case--
all yours, no questions asked.
320
00:13:16,363 --> 00:13:18,429
We just need you to keep a tight
lid on that can of worms.
321
00:13:18,431 --> 00:13:20,265
We want you to keep on being
josie's friend
322
00:13:20,267 --> 00:13:22,534
Just like you said--
by keeping the past in the past.
323
00:13:22,536 --> 00:13:24,469
Take the money, lee ann. Start
a college fund for your kids.
324
00:13:24,471 --> 00:13:26,971
I'm beginning to see
your point there. (chuckles)
325
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:29,174
Yeah, you could buy
your own thoroughbred.
326
00:13:29,176 --> 00:13:31,109
Nah, no way.
327
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:33,278
I couldn't live with myself.
328
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,846
¶
329
00:13:34,848 --> 00:13:37,148
What do you do for a living,
billy joe?
330
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:38,483
Cement plant foreman.
331
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,118
All this cash, you could
cut your hours in half,
332
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,420
Work four days a week.
Ah, I'm not good
with idle time.
333
00:13:42,422 --> 00:13:43,822
Cement plant?
You wear a suit to work?
334
00:13:43,824 --> 00:13:45,023
It must get awful dusty.
335
00:13:45,025 --> 00:13:46,491
Speaking of work,
I'd best be going.
336
00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:51,963
Cyrus' bitch-boy.
Go stall him.
337
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:53,364
I've got something, sir,
338
00:13:53,366 --> 00:13:55,233
Something that's gonna
cream this cream puff.
339
00:13:55,235 --> 00:13:57,569
Just tell me what you got.
An interview
with the baby daddy.
340
00:13:57,571 --> 00:13:59,304
About to go live
in a few minutes.
341
00:13:59,306 --> 00:14:01,539
There's hope for you yet, ethan.
342
00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:05,276
You lost, loser?
343
00:14:05,278 --> 00:14:06,578
(lowered voice) huck, I need
dirt on billy joe lee,
344
00:14:06,580 --> 00:14:08,079
And I need it fast.
345
00:14:08,081 --> 00:14:09,514
Miss whelan,
346
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:12,383
Say hello to jamie roberts
of kmtu.
347
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:15,053
Jamie, nice to meet you.
You know,
348
00:14:15,055 --> 00:14:17,121
I could give you
an exclusive.
349
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:19,023
"white house attempts to meddle
in democratic primary."
350
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:20,391
It'll go national,
guaranteed.
351
00:14:20,393 --> 00:14:24,462
No. No.
That's not what this is.
352
00:14:24,464 --> 00:14:26,965
Hotel... He has a standing
hotel date
353
00:14:26,967 --> 00:14:28,533
At the broken spoke inn
going back
354
00:14:28,535 --> 00:14:29,934
Over two years.
355
00:14:29,936 --> 00:14:34,038
Billy joe...
(laughs)
356
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,440
Your wife know about
the broken spoke?
357
00:14:35,442 --> 00:14:37,075
Wha... Wha...
358
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:38,443
Hmm?
Hey--
359
00:14:38,445 --> 00:14:40,078
Was she a good kisser?
360
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,512
Do you really want
to ask me that?
361
00:14:41,514 --> 00:14:46,184
But I will tell you
what a fine job she's done...
(cell phone rings)
362
00:14:46,186 --> 00:14:48,987
Representing this district
up over in congress there.
363
00:14:48,989 --> 00:14:50,388
She really...
(ethan) sir?
364
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:51,890
(exhales sharply)
365
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:53,424
Sir, please say something.
366
00:14:53,426 --> 00:14:55,894
(billy joe speaking
indistinctly)
(exhales)
367
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:57,528
I can hear you breathing, sir.
368
00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:59,197
Yes, I am breathing, ethan.
(gasps)
369
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:01,599
I am breathing very deeply,
because I am trying my very best
370
00:15:01,601 --> 00:15:04,535
Not to have another
heart attack.
I'm so sorry.
371
00:15:04,537 --> 00:15:06,938
She has people here.
Who?
372
00:15:10,342 --> 00:15:13,011
We got poped, sir.
373
00:15:13,013 --> 00:15:14,646
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
374
00:15:14,648 --> 00:15:16,648
Leo bergen turned down the job.
375
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:18,416
Of course he did, because
they cut me out.
376
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:20,084
I told you I needed
to be there, mara.
377
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:21,152
Who's leo bergen?
378
00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:24,455
If cyrus beene thinks he can
cut me out of this campaign
379
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:27,191
The way he did the last one...
Easy does it, sal.
380
00:15:27,193 --> 00:15:29,427
Daniel douglas, don't you have
somewhere to be?
381
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:32,330
I gotta go cart
the german chancellor's hubby
382
00:15:32,332 --> 00:15:35,500
Last time, the fool lost
two dozen balls,
383
00:15:35,502 --> 00:15:37,235
And I got sunburned
looking for them.
384
00:15:37,237 --> 00:15:40,505
I assume bergen's attending
the correspondents' dinner?
Why?
385
00:15:40,507 --> 00:15:42,407
Never you mind.
386
00:15:42,409 --> 00:15:44,375
(indistinct conversations)
387
00:15:44,377 --> 00:15:46,544
We lost leo bergen.
You should give him a call.
388
00:15:46,546 --> 00:15:48,413
I have bigger problems
to deal with.
389
00:15:48,415 --> 00:15:50,615
Fitz!
And so do you, mellie.
390
00:15:50,617 --> 00:15:53,451
It's cyrus' job to worry
about my re-election, not yours.
391
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:54,719
Leave it alone.
392
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:57,722
(fitz) jake ballard.
393
00:15:57,724 --> 00:15:59,457
He's the one digging
into remington, right?
394
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:01,559
As always, the less I share,
the better for us both.
395
00:16:01,561 --> 00:16:03,361
You need to lay off
captain ballard.
396
00:16:03,363 --> 00:16:04,495
Are we clear?
397
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:06,397
(laughs) you do not
give me orders.
398
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:09,534
That changes, starting
right here, right now.
399
00:16:09,536 --> 00:16:12,270
I have never answered to any
holder of your office.
400
00:16:12,272 --> 00:16:14,372
Don't test me.
No, mr. President,
401
00:16:14,374 --> 00:16:16,641
It is you who should not
test me.
402
00:16:25,751 --> 00:16:28,219
I gave her a world-class
education in the dark arts!
403
00:16:28,221 --> 00:16:30,755
I turned her into a frigging
trident ii,
404
00:16:30,757 --> 00:16:34,292
And now she's out there locked
and loaded in enemy hands.
405
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:38,229
So... (exhales) let's think.
First things first.
406
00:16:38,231 --> 00:16:40,431
We leak the baby to reston
before the debate.
407
00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:42,233
Granted, there's no proof,
408
00:16:42,235 --> 00:16:44,702
But you and I both know
all too well
409
00:16:44,704 --> 00:16:46,671
Rumors can do
just as much damage.
410
00:16:46,673 --> 00:16:51,009
So we let it slip, and reston
takes care of the dirty work.
411
00:16:51,011 --> 00:16:53,211
(sighs) doesn't help us
with the long-term problem
412
00:16:53,213 --> 00:16:56,447
Of finding a campaign manager
with half a brain, but...
413
00:16:56,449 --> 00:16:59,250
First things first.
First things first.
414
00:16:59,252 --> 00:17:01,219
(breathing heavily)
I got made.
415
00:17:01,221 --> 00:17:03,221
By command?
By the president.
416
00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:08,559
'cause he sure as hell wasn't
flying cover on that mission.
(clicks phone)
417
00:17:08,561 --> 00:17:11,229
He's hiding something.
Something big.
418
00:17:11,231 --> 00:17:13,064
And he was there
the next day?
419
00:17:13,066 --> 00:17:14,265
Yeah.
I met him on the carrier
420
00:17:14,267 --> 00:17:15,767
In the persian gulf
during debriefing.
421
00:17:15,769 --> 00:17:17,668
Ten hours after remington.
422
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:19,704
Okay, that narrows it down,
but pinpointing grant's
423
00:17:19,706 --> 00:17:21,372
Exact location on that day
in 1991
424
00:17:21,374 --> 00:17:23,307
Means hacking
into naval archives,
425
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:25,309
Going through base logs,
fleet movements,
426
00:17:25,311 --> 00:17:26,711
Cross-referencing
ocean currents.
427
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:28,246
I can't send an e-mail
without crashing
428
00:17:28,248 --> 00:17:29,614
This motel's d.S.L.
429
00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:32,283
Look... (gasps) if fitz
knows we're on to him,
430
00:17:32,285 --> 00:17:33,818
Then rowan knows.
431
00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:36,387
He's gonna send agents after us.
We're running out of time.
432
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:38,356
I have a program
that could help,
433
00:17:38,358 --> 00:17:40,191
But it's on my office
computer.
434
00:17:40,193 --> 00:17:42,193
(whirring)
what exactly is this program
supposed to do?
435
00:17:42,195 --> 00:17:44,228
Because it's not doing it.
Well, if you did
what I told you,
436
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:46,464
It should be accessing the navy
missions flown by the president.
437
00:17:46,466 --> 00:17:51,069
Were you even in b613? Maybe we
should search by plane type.
438
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:52,437
It is searching by plane type
and date.
439
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:53,604
Oh, hold on.
440
00:17:53,606 --> 00:17:56,307
(beeping)
a list just came up.
441
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:59,844
Okay. Um...
How do you print?
442
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:02,580
(door closes)
443
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:07,718
What are you doing here?
Well, I went by your place
and you weren't there.
444
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,487
It's late, and I know all
your people are out of town.
445
00:18:09,489 --> 00:18:11,823
So... (chuckles)
I was worried.
446
00:18:11,825 --> 00:18:13,424
Oh.
447
00:18:13,426 --> 00:18:15,293
I'm fine. I just,
448
00:18:15,295 --> 00:18:17,795
Uh... I forgot my phone.
449
00:18:17,797 --> 00:18:19,630
Phone's in your hand.
450
00:18:21,867 --> 00:18:23,267
Mm.
451
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:25,169
You forgot your secret
fitz phone.
452
00:18:25,171 --> 00:18:27,271
(sighs)
olivia.
453
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:30,741
The white house correspondents'
dinner is Saturday.
(sets down phone)
454
00:18:30,743 --> 00:18:32,810
I haven't missed a dinner
in...
455
00:18:32,812 --> 00:18:35,379
(sighs) you know
I vet his jokes?
456
00:18:35,381 --> 00:18:37,248
Used to. Every year.
457
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:40,184
There's an art to it.
You can't be too funny.
458
00:18:40,186 --> 00:18:43,888
You have to sort walk this line
between presidential and...
459
00:18:43,890 --> 00:18:48,292
This year, I got
my invitation, and I'm just...
460
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:55,800
You're waiting
for the phone to ring
461
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:59,370
Because maybe he needs you
to...
462
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:00,404
Vet his jokes.
463
00:19:02,341 --> 00:19:03,508
Oh...
464
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:04,809
Hmm.
465
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:06,577
(laughs)
466
00:19:09,882 --> 00:19:12,450
(clears throat)
467
00:19:22,694 --> 00:19:25,296
(laughs)
(chuckles)
468
00:19:25,298 --> 00:19:28,332
Come on. I'll buy you
a burger.
469
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:29,400
(hands slap)
470
00:19:29,402 --> 00:19:31,235
(chuckles)
471
00:19:31,237 --> 00:19:33,571
Come on.
472
00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:35,373
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
473
00:19:39,645 --> 00:19:40,878
(chuckles)
474
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,547
This our nurse?
475
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:43,848
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
476
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:45,550
(quinn) yeah.
477
00:19:45,552 --> 00:19:47,752
Hey, I found her.
Grounded.
478
00:19:49,955 --> 00:19:53,224
I don't know why you people
won't let that family be.
479
00:19:53,226 --> 00:19:55,293
That other boy already tried
to talk to me.
480
00:19:55,295 --> 00:19:57,228
That other...
The one
with the dark hair
481
00:19:57,230 --> 00:19:58,563
And the slick suit.
(laughs)
482
00:19:58,565 --> 00:20:00,331
Looked like some kind
of a mannequin.
483
00:20:00,333 --> 00:20:01,799
I told him to get lost.
484
00:20:01,801 --> 00:20:03,601
Oh, no, we aren't--
485
00:20:03,603 --> 00:20:06,304
Y'all are all talking about
an abandoned baby.
486
00:20:06,306 --> 00:20:07,805
That baby wasn't abandoned.
487
00:20:07,807 --> 00:20:10,641
No?
Of course not. That family
took care of it,
488
00:20:10,643 --> 00:20:13,411
Like families do around here.
(huffs)
489
00:20:13,413 --> 00:20:15,246
That baby didn't go nowhere.
490
00:20:15,248 --> 00:20:17,315
It stayed right here
in red springs.
491
00:20:17,317 --> 00:20:19,217
Louise wouldn't have it
any other way.
492
00:20:19,219 --> 00:20:20,451
Louise?
493
00:20:20,453 --> 00:20:22,453
Josephine's mama.
494
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:27,692
(speaking indistinctly)
495
00:20:27,694 --> 00:20:30,394
Can I speak to you alone?
Could we have a minute,
everyone?
496
00:20:37,302 --> 00:20:38,469
(door closes)
497
00:20:38,471 --> 00:20:40,238
You didn't put the baby
up for adoption.
498
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,573
Your mother decided
to take care of the problem
499
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:44,308
The best way she knew how--
keep it in the family,
500
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:46,911
Raise candace as your sister
instead of your daughter.
501
00:20:49,381 --> 00:20:50,715
Hmm.
502
00:20:50,717 --> 00:20:53,317
When I got pregnant,
we moved away for a while
503
00:20:53,319 --> 00:20:54,952
So no one would ask questions.
504
00:20:54,954 --> 00:20:56,988
And then when the baby came,
the nurse changed
505
00:20:56,990 --> 00:20:59,557
The birth certificate,
and candi became my sister.
506
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:01,392
Bing, bang, boom.
Just like that.
507
00:21:01,394 --> 00:21:02,460
She doesn't know.
508
00:21:02,462 --> 00:21:03,828
It would devastate her.
509
00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:06,464
My mother was her mother
in every way that matters.
510
00:21:06,466 --> 00:21:09,333
It only took my team
a day to dig this up,
511
00:21:09,335 --> 00:21:10,568
And the people
you're up against--
512
00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:12,303
Reston, the white house--
513
00:21:12,305 --> 00:21:13,904
The only way for you
to stop them
514
00:21:13,906 --> 00:21:16,440
From destroying you with this
is to address it head on.
515
00:21:16,442 --> 00:21:17,875
And then what?
516
00:21:17,877 --> 00:21:19,277
I'm supposed
to just sit back
517
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,480
How bad do you want
to be president?
518
00:21:22,482 --> 00:21:25,683
I never planned
for life in the public eye.
519
00:21:25,685 --> 00:21:28,486
I had a career in the military,
and I was fine with that.
520
00:21:28,488 --> 00:21:30,488
And then my husband died
in that stupid war,
521
00:21:30,490 --> 00:21:32,356
And I happened to voice
my outrage.
522
00:21:32,358 --> 00:21:34,492
I didn't expect people
to listen to me.
523
00:21:34,494 --> 00:21:36,460
And I certainly didn't expect
people to vote for me.
524
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:39,330
But they did.
And now you're here.
525
00:21:39,332 --> 00:21:41,899
And tonight, you're standing
in front of the nation
526
00:21:41,901 --> 00:21:43,901
And saying you want to be
the first female president.
527
00:21:43,903 --> 00:21:46,937
Without making your
personal life fair game.
528
00:21:46,939 --> 00:21:48,706
Coming after me is fair.
529
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:51,008
Coming after me?
Yeah, I signed up for that.
530
00:21:51,010 --> 00:21:54,578
But candi, my sister--
off limits.
531
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:57,081
How bad do I want it?
532
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:58,449
Not that bad.
533
00:22:03,955 --> 00:22:05,656
(knock on door)
534
00:22:05,658 --> 00:22:07,391
You asked for me, sir?
535
00:22:07,393 --> 00:22:10,528
Sit.
Sir, if this is about
the josie marcus thing--
536
00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:12,697
How do I get rid of b613?
I want them gone.
537
00:22:12,699 --> 00:22:14,065
(whispering) don't...
538
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:20,404
Sir--
okay... (sighs)
539
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:30,114
(breathes unevenly)
540
00:22:30,116 --> 00:22:31,749
(lowered voice)
don't ever...
541
00:22:31,751 --> 00:22:33,818
Say that again.
542
00:22:33,820 --> 00:22:36,887
That is impossible,
mr. President.
543
00:22:36,889 --> 00:22:39,890
(lowered voice)
nothing is impossible.
544
00:22:39,892 --> 00:22:41,792
What if we eliminated
their budget?
545
00:22:41,794 --> 00:22:45,129
A few years ago,
this guy at the o.M.B.
546
00:22:45,131 --> 00:22:48,099
Comes across a very,
very strange
547
00:22:48,101 --> 00:22:49,867
Line item
in the federal budget.
548
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:51,102
It's been there for years,
549
00:22:51,104 --> 00:22:53,571
But no one's ever
mentioned it
550
00:22:53,573 --> 00:22:56,073
Until this one person,
this one man
551
00:22:56,075 --> 00:22:57,775
Points it out.
And what happened?
552
00:22:57,777 --> 00:22:59,410
He committed suicide.
553
00:22:59,412 --> 00:23:00,811
That's how
they took care of it,
554
00:23:00,813 --> 00:23:02,012
And that's how they'll
take care of us
555
00:23:02,014 --> 00:23:03,948
If they start to see us
as enemies.
556
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:06,150
Only in your case,
it won't be suicide.
(sighs)
557
00:23:06,152 --> 00:23:08,419
It'll be a lone gunman
on a grassy knoll.
558
00:23:08,421 --> 00:23:11,956
Just ask kennedy.
559
00:23:11,958 --> 00:23:13,758
This is something
you can't control,
560
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,727
Mr. President.
561
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:18,996
What you can control
is winning re-election.
562
00:23:18,998 --> 00:23:20,865
That's what I'm focused on,
and if you're smart,
563
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:22,466
You'll focus on that, too.
564
00:23:25,937 --> 00:23:27,872
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
565
00:23:27,874 --> 00:23:30,040
(david) couple more
days, huh?
Unfortunately.
566
00:23:30,042 --> 00:23:31,976
So sorry to miss
the correspondents' dinner.
567
00:23:31,978 --> 00:23:34,044
Now I'm gonna have to talk
to people from work all night.
568
00:23:34,046 --> 00:23:35,946
You ever try to party
with bureaucrats?
569
00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:37,448
Help... Me.
570
00:23:37,450 --> 00:23:39,450
I'll call you
when I get back.
571
00:23:39,452 --> 00:23:40,851
(beeps)
572
00:23:40,853 --> 00:23:42,853
(sighs) you got issues.
573
00:23:42,855 --> 00:23:45,556
What?
You... Got... Issues,
I'm just sayin'.
574
00:23:45,558 --> 00:23:47,124
Whatever. Let's just
get out of here.
575
00:23:47,126 --> 00:23:48,626
Where's quinn?
576
00:23:48,628 --> 00:23:49,994
Hardware store,
returning some stuff.
577
00:23:49,996 --> 00:23:51,929
(sighs)
578
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,431
These are used.
579
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:54,899
Actually, they're improved.
580
00:23:54,901 --> 00:23:57,501
That router's now pulling
300 megabits per second,
581
00:23:57,503 --> 00:24:00,104
And the shielding
on the cables--
I can offer you store credit.
582
00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:02,973
What a thrilling compromise.
583
00:24:03,975 --> 00:24:05,810
(sighs)
584
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:14,084
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
585
00:24:16,989 --> 00:24:20,758
With governor reston
still leading in the polls,
586
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,660
Upstart congresswoman
josie marcus
587
00:24:22,662 --> 00:24:26,530
Hopes to gain momentum in this
next democratic primary debate
588
00:24:26,532 --> 00:24:29,166
Answering questions submitted
by ordinary americans.
589
00:24:29,168 --> 00:24:32,536
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
590
00:24:32,538 --> 00:24:34,605
(indistinct conversations)
591
00:24:40,011 --> 00:24:41,712
(lowered voice)
it's going to happen.
592
00:24:41,714 --> 00:24:43,848
Tonight. You're going
to get ambushed.
593
00:24:43,850 --> 00:24:45,883
I know how they operate.
I know cyrus beene.
594
00:24:45,885 --> 00:24:47,718
(lowered voice) I'm not running
against the white house.
595
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,153
No, but they're running
against you.
596
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:50,788
When the trap is sprung,
597
00:24:50,790 --> 00:24:51,922
Acknowledge it
without hesitation.
598
00:24:51,924 --> 00:24:54,024
Note that you were exercising
choice,
599
00:24:54,026 --> 00:24:56,093
And restate your support
for access to contraception.
600
00:24:56,095 --> 00:24:58,596
Then insist that the privacy
of the child you gave up
601
00:24:58,598 --> 00:25:01,866
Like I said before,
I'm not admitting to anything.
602
00:25:01,868 --> 00:25:03,734
(woman over speakers)
please welcome to the stage
603
00:25:03,736 --> 00:25:06,136
The candidates
for the democratic nomination
604
00:25:06,138 --> 00:25:08,506
For president
of the United States.
605
00:25:08,508 --> 00:25:12,576
(applause)
606
00:25:12,578 --> 00:25:14,879
(speaking inaudibly)
607
00:25:14,881 --> 00:25:16,680
Governor, the recent revelation
608
00:25:16,682 --> 00:25:18,883
Of president grant's
marital infidelity
609
00:25:18,885 --> 00:25:21,852
Is considered by many to be
a moral failing.
610
00:25:21,854 --> 00:25:24,021
Do you think it should
disqualify him
611
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:28,626
(debate continues tv)
that question is nothing
but unadulterated liberal bias.
612
00:25:28,628 --> 00:25:30,094
Really, who the hell
is running this thing?
613
00:25:30,096 --> 00:25:32,897
Don't sweat it.
We're getting to the good stuff.
614
00:25:32,899 --> 00:25:34,865
...Moral authority he once
may have claimed
615
00:25:34,867 --> 00:25:36,700
Has been wholly compromised.
The voters...
616
00:25:36,702 --> 00:25:37,902
(lowered voice) she looks good,
right? Strong.
617
00:25:37,904 --> 00:25:40,571
...Integrity, candor--
these are qualities
618
00:25:40,573 --> 00:25:42,740
That we look for
in a president.
619
00:25:42,742 --> 00:25:45,809
As everyone knows, I have
publicly and forthrightly
620
00:25:45,811 --> 00:25:49,280
Taken personal responsibility
for my past actions.
621
00:25:49,282 --> 00:25:52,016
Regrettably, I'm afraid
the same can't be said
622
00:25:52,018 --> 00:25:54,952
For one of my opponents
here this evening.
623
00:25:55,954 --> 00:25:57,821
Say good-bye, annie oakley.
624
00:25:57,823 --> 00:26:00,824
Congresswoman marcus,
anything you'd care to share
625
00:26:00,826 --> 00:26:03,193
With the american people
at this time?
626
00:26:03,195 --> 00:26:04,295
I...
627
00:26:04,297 --> 00:26:06,163
(murmuring)
I...
628
00:26:06,165 --> 00:26:08,232
What is she doing?
What's the matter with her?
629
00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:09,967
Congresswoman marcus?
630
00:26:09,969 --> 00:26:12,937
(murmuring continues)
631
00:26:17,208 --> 00:26:19,877
(clicks tongue)
I th...
632
00:26:19,879 --> 00:26:24,248
I think what... Governor reston
is trying to say
633
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:27,718
Is I had a baby.
634
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,653
30 years ago, I was 15,
635
00:26:29,655 --> 00:26:31,989
And I had a baby.
636
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:35,025
I made a mistake.
637
00:26:35,027 --> 00:26:36,660
I was young and stupid,
638
00:26:36,662 --> 00:26:39,029
And, uh, he was a boy
with a nice smile
639
00:26:39,031 --> 00:26:40,931
And a shiny yellow pickup truck,
640
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:42,700
And I thought I was in love.
641
00:26:42,702 --> 00:26:45,002
I don't know if any of you
remember what you were like
642
00:26:45,004 --> 00:26:48,606
When you were 15, but I was
not ready to be a mother.
643
00:26:48,608 --> 00:26:51,008
I knew that,
and my mother knew that,
644
00:26:51,010 --> 00:26:55,946
And she did what she thought
was right.
645
00:26:55,948 --> 00:26:58,082
She really--she really did
the best she could,
646
00:26:58,084 --> 00:27:01,385
So she helped me
keep the baby a secret.
647
00:27:01,387 --> 00:27:04,922
And when the time came,
she helped me...
648
00:27:04,924 --> 00:27:06,991
Say good-bye
649
00:27:06,993 --> 00:27:09,893
And put her up for adoption.
650
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:14,732
So it wasn't
the perfect choice,
651
00:27:14,734 --> 00:27:16,734
But it was my choice.
652
00:27:16,736 --> 00:27:20,137
It was a choice we made
so that baby could
653
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:22,973
Have a better life
than the one I could give her.
654
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:24,875
I mean, I could tell you this--
655
00:27:24,877 --> 00:27:28,045
That a day hasn't gone by
in the past 30 years
656
00:27:28,047 --> 00:27:30,047
That I haven't thought
about that baby girl
657
00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:32,883
And the choice I made for her
658
00:27:32,885 --> 00:27:36,420
And hoped to god
it was the right choice.
659
00:27:36,422 --> 00:27:37,888
So that's it.
There you have it.
660
00:27:37,890 --> 00:27:40,891
That's the truth, folks.
661
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:42,292
Aren't you gonna buzz me
or something?
662
00:27:42,294 --> 00:27:44,061
I must be out of time.
(chuckles)
663
00:27:44,063 --> 00:27:45,996
(man speaking indistinctly
on tv)
oh, my god.
664
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:49,433
She just won america's hearts.
665
00:27:49,435 --> 00:27:51,235
Olivia pope.
666
00:27:51,237 --> 00:27:53,804
The gift that keeps on
giving.
667
00:27:53,806 --> 00:27:56,106
(tv continues indistinctly)
668
00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:58,876
(applause)
669
00:27:58,878 --> 00:28:01,111
(applause continues)
670
00:28:01,113 --> 00:28:04,882
(exhales, voice breaking)
you were 15? 30 years ago?
671
00:28:04,884 --> 00:28:07,217
Candace--
(sighs)
672
00:28:09,921 --> 00:28:11,989
You handled that beautifully.
673
00:28:11,991 --> 00:28:13,424
I just destroyed
674
00:28:13,426 --> 00:28:15,759
The most important
relationship in my life.
675
00:28:15,761 --> 00:28:17,261
I'm glad you found that
beautiful.
676
00:28:17,263 --> 00:28:18,996
You're fired.
677
00:28:44,956 --> 00:28:46,323
(exhales)
678
00:28:47,926 --> 00:28:49,860
(exhales)
679
00:29:01,940 --> 00:29:04,141
(phone rings)
680
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:09,046
(rings)
681
00:29:10,048 --> 00:29:11,448
(exhales)
682
00:29:11,450 --> 00:29:14,384
(rustling)
(rings)
683
00:29:14,386 --> 00:29:15,753
Hi.
684
00:29:15,755 --> 00:29:17,521
That was well-done.
685
00:29:17,523 --> 00:29:20,057
The debate, josie.
Smart.
686
00:29:20,059 --> 00:29:22,459
I got fired.
687
00:29:22,461 --> 00:29:24,461
She fired me.
688
00:29:24,463 --> 00:29:25,963
She's an idiot.
689
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,001
You're calling me.
690
00:29:31,003 --> 00:29:32,903
I'm calling you.
691
00:29:32,905 --> 00:29:35,472
I'm hiding from mellie
in the bathroom.
692
00:29:35,474 --> 00:29:37,141
(chuckles)
693
00:29:37,143 --> 00:29:41,512
I just dug the phone
out of the trash. (laughs)
694
00:29:41,514 --> 00:29:45,415
(chuckles)
oh, how are you?
Are you freaking out
695
00:29:45,417 --> 00:29:47,851
About the white house
correspondents' dinner?
696
00:29:47,853 --> 00:29:50,053
I am freaking out
697
00:29:50,055 --> 00:29:52,122
About the white house
correspondents' dinner.
698
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:54,391
Who's vetting your jokes?
Me.
699
00:29:54,393 --> 00:29:56,226
You can't vet your jokes.
You're not funny.
700
00:29:56,228 --> 00:29:58,095
I know that.
Wait, I'm funny.
701
00:29:58,097 --> 00:30:00,364
You're funny, but you're
not funny.
702
00:30:00,366 --> 00:30:02,533
And you're funny?
I'm funnier than you.
703
00:30:02,535 --> 00:30:04,802
(chuckles)
704
00:30:11,943 --> 00:30:13,944
I...
705
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:16,914
I feel a... (sighs)
706
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:20,484
Ashamed.
707
00:30:20,486 --> 00:30:22,152
Like I don't have the right
to make jokes,
708
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:23,487
Because I am the joke,
709
00:30:23,489 --> 00:30:24,988
The guy who can't keep it
in his pants,
710
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:26,390
Like my father, you know?
711
00:30:26,392 --> 00:30:29,193
(sighs)
712
00:30:29,195 --> 00:30:31,595
Dive in. Own it.
713
00:30:31,597 --> 00:30:33,330
Mock your image.
714
00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:35,299
You start out strong,
something like,
715
00:30:35,301 --> 00:30:37,301
"I see a lot of familiar
faces here tonight,
716
00:30:37,303 --> 00:30:38,569
"including one or two
who inexplicably
717
00:30:38,571 --> 00:30:40,470
Haven't been accused
of sleeping with me."
718
00:30:40,472 --> 00:30:43,440
(chuckles) that's good.
719
00:30:43,442 --> 00:30:45,475
(clattering)
laugh at yourself.
720
00:30:45,477 --> 00:30:47,945
It will make it impossible
for them to laugh at you.
721
00:30:50,982 --> 00:30:52,482
I love you.
722
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:00,324
Okay.
723
00:31:00,326 --> 00:31:01,558
What about...
724
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,327
I say something
to the press
725
00:31:03,329 --> 00:31:04,628
About how much
they've hammered me?
(clicks pen)
726
00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:05,963
Something like...
727
00:31:05,965 --> 00:31:09,333
"you're welcome."
(chuckles) exactly.
728
00:31:09,335 --> 00:31:12,603
All right, uh, so we have
to say something about sally.
729
00:31:12,605 --> 00:31:14,471
Let me see. They wrote me
a bunch of jokes.
730
00:31:14,473 --> 00:31:16,874
You tell me which ones
you like best.
731
00:31:19,244 --> 00:31:21,044
(laughs)
732
00:31:21,046 --> 00:31:23,447
(chuckling) I'm definitely
not saying that.
733
00:31:23,449 --> 00:31:27,050
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
734
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:33,156
(cell phone ringing)
735
00:31:33,158 --> 00:31:34,458
(beep)
736
00:31:34,460 --> 00:31:36,627
(clears throat) hey.
I might lose you.
737
00:31:36,629 --> 00:31:38,528
There's barely any reception
up here.
738
00:31:38,530 --> 00:31:42,666
Yeah. Looks like I might be
here another 24 hours.
739
00:31:42,668 --> 00:31:44,601
That's too bad.
740
00:31:46,337 --> 00:31:48,038
Funny, I've only been
to montana once,
741
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,506
But I seem to remember it
looking
742
00:31:49,508 --> 00:31:51,508
A lot different from this.
743
00:31:51,510 --> 00:31:53,510
More cattle, less bull.
Checking up on me now?
744
00:31:53,512 --> 00:31:55,512
If you didn't want to go,
why didn't you just say so
745
00:31:55,514 --> 00:31:57,614
Instead of lying to me again?
David--
746
00:31:57,616 --> 00:31:59,449
What? Come on,
let's hear your excuse.
747
00:31:59,451 --> 00:32:01,585
What is it this time?
748
00:32:01,587 --> 00:32:03,086
I'm sorry.
749
00:32:04,088 --> 00:32:05,455
So am I.
750
00:32:05,457 --> 00:32:07,491
(footsteps depart)
751
00:32:07,493 --> 00:32:09,226
I've narrowed
the president's location
752
00:32:09,228 --> 00:32:11,161
To a 100-mile radius where
he could have made it back
753
00:32:11,163 --> 00:32:12,629
In time to meet you
at your naval base
754
00:32:12,631 --> 00:32:14,364
Post-mission.
And?
755
00:32:14,366 --> 00:32:16,233
Iceland.
756
00:32:16,235 --> 00:32:18,135
Iceland?
757
00:32:18,137 --> 00:32:20,137
What the hell was he doing there
that he needed a cover for?
758
00:32:20,139 --> 00:32:21,505
I don't know.
759
00:32:21,507 --> 00:32:23,273
All right, check which
aircraft carriers
760
00:32:23,275 --> 00:32:25,609
Might have been off the coast
of iceland that day.
761
00:32:26,511 --> 00:32:29,413
(cell phone rings
and beeps)
762
00:32:29,415 --> 00:32:32,249
(jake) hey.
Take me
to the correspondents' dinner.
763
00:32:32,251 --> 00:32:33,417
(chuckles) no.
764
00:32:33,419 --> 00:32:35,085
Take me.
765
00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:37,554
Please.
766
00:32:39,624 --> 00:32:41,024
Okay.
767
00:32:41,026 --> 00:32:42,559
Okay.
768
00:32:42,561 --> 00:32:44,194
I'll pick you up at 6:00.
769
00:32:44,196 --> 00:32:45,629
(typing)
770
00:32:45,631 --> 00:32:47,331
Ah, that's good.
771
00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:49,032
That liv's got you,
that you're going.
772
00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:50,968
She needs this.
773
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:54,137
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
774
00:32:54,139 --> 00:32:57,741
(indistinct conversations
and laughter)
775
00:33:00,545 --> 00:33:02,512
You okay?
776
00:33:02,514 --> 00:33:04,514
So far, so good.
Good.
777
00:33:04,516 --> 00:33:06,183
Now we must find our table.
778
00:33:06,185 --> 00:33:07,684
(indistinct conversations)
779
00:33:07,686 --> 00:33:09,586
Right here.
Oh, good.
780
00:33:09,588 --> 00:33:10,988
We're the only ones here.
781
00:33:14,158 --> 00:33:16,426
Okay.
When can we sit?
782
00:33:19,764 --> 00:33:21,565
This flask belonged
to my great grand-daddy.
783
00:33:21,567 --> 00:33:23,567
You see that nick?
784
00:33:23,569 --> 00:33:25,369
This baby stopped
a yankee bullet
785
00:33:25,371 --> 00:33:27,237
From ripping right through
his heart.
786
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,442
(lock clicks)
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
787
00:33:32,444 --> 00:33:34,177
Madame vice president.
788
00:33:34,179 --> 00:33:36,013
Is the ladies' room
packed as usual?
789
00:33:36,015 --> 00:33:37,614
That's not fair.
Please feel free.
790
00:33:37,616 --> 00:33:40,183
I'm not here to urinate.
I need to talk.
791
00:33:40,185 --> 00:33:45,522
What if I were to run for
president of the United States?
792
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:47,457
Hypothetically, of course.
(urinal flushes)
793
00:33:47,459 --> 00:33:50,227
(zips pants)
hypothetically?
You'd get clobbered.
794
00:33:50,229 --> 00:33:52,429
Sluttiness aside, grant is
still a sitting president
795
00:33:52,431 --> 00:33:54,297
From your own party
who to anyone's knowledge
796
00:33:54,299 --> 00:33:56,166
Has not done anything
illegal.
797
00:33:56,168 --> 00:33:58,502
Grant would kill you
in a republican primary.
798
00:33:58,504 --> 00:34:00,170
I'm not talking about
the primaries.
799
00:34:00,172 --> 00:34:02,305
What if I were to run
as an independent?
800
00:34:02,307 --> 00:34:04,474
You want to run for president
of the United States
801
00:34:04,476 --> 00:34:06,543
As a third party candidate?
802
00:34:06,545 --> 00:34:08,478
Hypothetically.
803
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,313
So good to see you.
Thanks.
804
00:34:10,315 --> 00:34:11,615
Nice to meet you.
805
00:34:11,617 --> 00:34:14,051
(laughing)
(chuckles)
806
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:19,623
Ahh.
807
00:34:21,125 --> 00:34:23,293
Go.
808
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:38,075
(door beeps)
809
00:34:42,814 --> 00:34:45,115
(door closes)
810
00:34:45,117 --> 00:34:46,716
Olivia, thank you so much
for coming.
811
00:34:51,355 --> 00:34:53,256
Thank you. Thank you.
812
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:55,759
I can't tell you how much
I relish this opportunity
813
00:34:55,761 --> 00:34:57,427
To finally say something
to you all
814
00:34:57,429 --> 00:35:00,764
That has been long,
long overdue.
815
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:02,199
"you're welcome."
816
00:35:02,201 --> 00:35:04,401
(laughter)
817
00:35:04,403 --> 00:35:06,369
I like your new boyfriend.
818
00:35:06,371 --> 00:35:08,405
Is he married?
819
00:35:08,407 --> 00:35:12,142
No. Wait. Just--I'm sorry.
That was below the--
820
00:35:12,144 --> 00:35:13,477
I am sorry.
821
00:35:13,479 --> 00:35:16,279
Please. Stay. Sit.
822
00:35:16,281 --> 00:35:17,848
Hear me out.
823
00:35:17,850 --> 00:35:20,350
(laughter)
824
00:35:20,352 --> 00:35:22,419
I see many familiar faces
here tonight,
825
00:35:22,421 --> 00:35:24,488
Including a few
who inexplicably
826
00:35:24,490 --> 00:35:26,189
Haven't been accused
of sleeping with me.
827
00:35:26,191 --> 00:35:28,658
(laughter)
828
00:35:30,695 --> 00:35:31,895
I'd like you to come back
829
00:35:31,897 --> 00:35:33,430
And run fitz's
re-election campaign.
830
00:35:33,432 --> 00:35:34,764
What?
831
00:35:34,766 --> 00:35:36,399
Do you remember what it was
like four years ago,
832
00:35:36,401 --> 00:35:37,901
Liv, what we were like?
833
00:35:37,903 --> 00:35:41,805
Fresh and young
and full of ideas, and...
834
00:35:41,807 --> 00:35:45,509
Now, four years later--
my god, look at us.
835
00:35:45,511 --> 00:35:48,345
Congress has stalled everything
we've tried to push through,
836
00:35:48,347 --> 00:35:50,280
Approvals are in freefall,
people want change,
837
00:35:50,282 --> 00:35:52,149
And of course that's
exactly what the democrats
838
00:35:52,151 --> 00:35:53,450
Are running on,
but that's...
839
00:35:53,452 --> 00:35:54,851
(breathes deeply)
840
00:35:54,853 --> 00:35:56,486
I'm not even worried
about all that.
841
00:35:56,488 --> 00:35:58,788
Anyone can fix that.
That's not why he needs you.
842
00:35:58,790 --> 00:36:02,359
Mellie--
he needs you, olivia.
843
00:36:02,361 --> 00:36:07,364
He is tired and broken,
and...
844
00:36:07,366 --> 00:36:09,766
It isn't the job.
845
00:36:09,768 --> 00:36:11,501
It's doing the job
without you.
846
00:36:13,604 --> 00:36:16,406
He's not alive
when you're not here.
847
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:20,443
He can't breathe
when you're not here.
848
00:36:20,445 --> 00:36:22,712
He doesn't have the will
to run, much less win,
849
00:36:22,714 --> 00:36:26,349
When you're not here,
because you... (gasps)
850
00:36:26,351 --> 00:36:28,518
(exhales)
851
00:36:30,288 --> 00:36:33,223
You're everything
to him, liv.
852
00:36:33,225 --> 00:36:35,492
He needs you.
853
00:36:35,494 --> 00:36:37,360
So I need you.
854
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:42,399
Come back.
855
00:36:42,401 --> 00:36:44,734
Come back to us.
856
00:36:44,736 --> 00:36:46,436
(laughter)
857
00:36:46,438 --> 00:36:49,806
As you all know,
I'm running for re-election.
858
00:36:49,808 --> 00:36:51,541
Thank you.
859
00:36:51,543 --> 00:36:53,376
And out on the campaign trail,
860
00:36:53,378 --> 00:36:55,278
At every step of the way,
861
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,347
The first lady will be
by my side.
862
00:36:57,349 --> 00:37:00,217
(applause)
863
00:37:00,219 --> 00:37:02,419
And believe me,
I mean by my side.
864
00:37:02,421 --> 00:37:04,654
(laughter)
865
00:37:04,656 --> 00:37:07,891
(voice breaking) does he know
what you're asking me?
866
00:37:08,993 --> 00:37:10,827
No.
867
00:37:10,829 --> 00:37:12,829
No, but...
868
00:37:12,831 --> 00:37:14,731
I'll get him on board.
869
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:16,299
(chuckles)
870
00:37:16,301 --> 00:37:17,934
Of course he'll get on board.
871
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:21,671
You and I,
872
00:37:21,673 --> 00:37:24,474
We've always wanted
the same thing, liv.
873
00:37:25,743 --> 00:37:29,579
For him to be the man
we both know he can be.
874
00:37:31,015 --> 00:37:32,983
And after what we did,
we owe him this.
875
00:37:34,285 --> 00:37:36,653
A chance to run
on his own steam.
876
00:37:36,655 --> 00:37:37,821
And win.
877
00:37:40,324 --> 00:37:42,292
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
878
00:37:45,963 --> 00:37:47,330
(door closes, keys jangle)
879
00:37:47,332 --> 00:37:49,332
I thought I'd
surprise you tonight.
880
00:37:49,334 --> 00:37:51,968
I thought I'd just put on
this dress and come over.
881
00:37:51,970 --> 00:37:53,503
(sets keys down)
882
00:37:53,505 --> 00:37:56,806
Only I wasn't able
to get out of my car.
883
00:37:56,808 --> 00:37:58,742
I wanted to go with you
tonight.
884
00:37:58,744 --> 00:38:00,277
I wasn't lying about
that part.
885
00:38:00,279 --> 00:38:02,379
I just...
886
00:38:02,381 --> 00:38:07,550
I wanted to surprise you,
so... (singsongy) surprise.
887
00:38:07,552 --> 00:38:09,386
I saw your ex-husband
at the dinner.
888
00:38:09,388 --> 00:38:11,521
Why didn't you tell me
he'd be there?
889
00:38:13,891 --> 00:38:15,058
I'm sorry.
890
00:38:15,060 --> 00:38:17,327
Don't be sorry.
891
00:38:17,329 --> 00:38:19,629
Start telling me things.
892
00:38:19,631 --> 00:38:21,631
That's what normal people do.
893
00:38:23,601 --> 00:38:24,968
Not that we're
normal people.
894
00:38:24,970 --> 00:38:27,837
(laughs)
895
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:30,407
(jake) you go ahead.
I'll get a taxi.
896
00:38:30,409 --> 00:38:32,575
What?
I wasn't
your date tonight.
897
00:38:32,577 --> 00:38:34,444
I was your excuse
so you could see him,
898
00:38:34,446 --> 00:38:35,779
And I knew you needed to,
so here I am.
899
00:38:35,781 --> 00:38:37,447
But dinner is over,
and I am done.
900
00:38:37,449 --> 00:38:39,849
Jake--
I don't play second fiddle
to anyone,
901
00:38:39,851 --> 00:38:41,618
Even the president.
902
00:38:41,620 --> 00:38:43,520
Good night, olivia.
903
00:38:46,357 --> 00:38:48,425
(cell phone chimes, beeps)
904
00:38:48,427 --> 00:38:51,628
Harrison, what are you doing
in the office this late?
905
00:38:51,630 --> 00:38:54,664
Candace and I talked
all day yesterday,
906
00:38:54,666 --> 00:38:56,633
And we're still a long way
from okay,
907
00:38:56,635 --> 00:38:58,668
But that's not why I'm here.
908
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:02,505
I hated what I had to do
up on that stage.
909
00:39:02,507 --> 00:39:04,407
And I resent the hell
out of you
910
00:39:04,409 --> 00:39:06,843
For being right about
how to deal with it.
911
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:10,480
But having that weight
off my shoulders--
912
00:39:10,482 --> 00:39:12,749
It's been freeing.
913
00:39:12,751 --> 00:39:14,551
What can we do for you,
josie?
914
00:39:14,553 --> 00:39:17,454
I think I can still
win this thing,
915
00:39:17,456 --> 00:39:19,589
And I want you by my side
when I do.
916
00:39:21,459 --> 00:39:24,661
As much as I appreciate
the offer, josie,
917
00:39:24,663 --> 00:39:26,830
I don't think I'm the right
person for the job.
918
00:39:28,766 --> 00:39:30,133
I respectfully disagree.
919
00:39:30,135 --> 00:39:32,469
So please just sleep on it.
920
00:39:32,471 --> 00:39:34,371
And if you wake up tomorrow
921
00:39:34,373 --> 00:39:37,374
And you feel the same way,
then tell me no.
922
00:39:37,376 --> 00:39:38,508
Okay.
923
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:46,383
What the hell
are you doing?
(door closes)
924
00:40:04,702 --> 00:40:07,537
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
925
00:40:13,644 --> 00:40:16,613
(keys jangle)
926
00:40:16,615 --> 00:40:18,448
(keys clatter)
927
00:40:18,450 --> 00:40:19,549
(exhales)
928
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:30,059
How was the dinner?
929
00:40:30,061 --> 00:40:31,828
Did it make liv happy?
930
00:40:31,830 --> 00:40:33,763
She's happy, yeah.
931
00:40:33,765 --> 00:40:35,465
But not 'cause of me.
932
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:39,702
Thought I sent you home.
933
00:40:39,704 --> 00:40:41,204
I came back,
934
00:40:41,206 --> 00:40:42,906
'cause I think I figured
something out.
935
00:40:42,908 --> 00:40:44,707
The reason why fitz
was in iceland,
936
00:40:44,709 --> 00:40:46,643
The reason he lied about
being in iran
937
00:40:46,645 --> 00:40:48,978
During operation remington.
938
00:40:48,980 --> 00:40:50,980
I think I figured out
what the cover-up is.
939
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:53,716
Tell me, huck.
940
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:56,619
Huck,
941
00:40:56,621 --> 00:40:58,721
What was fitz doing
in iceland?
942
00:40:59,924 --> 00:41:02,158
There was a plane crash
that day.
943
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,228
Couple of hundred miles
off the coast of iceland.
944
00:41:05,230 --> 00:41:09,032
A 747 carrying
329 passengers.
945
00:41:09,034 --> 00:41:11,034
They attributed it
to mechanical failure,
946
00:41:11,036 --> 00:41:13,203
But a fisherman reported
flares in the sky,
947
00:41:13,205 --> 00:41:15,004
None of which I was able
to confirm,
948
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:17,006
Because all of the satellite
footage of those coordinates
949
00:41:17,008 --> 00:41:18,508
Had been erased.
950
00:41:18,510 --> 00:41:19,843
You're suggesting...
951
00:41:19,845 --> 00:41:21,244
The president shot it down
952
00:41:21,246 --> 00:41:23,847
On behalf
of the u.S. Government.
953
00:41:23,849 --> 00:41:25,148
Why, I don't know,
954
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:26,716
But that's what the evidence
is telling me.
955
00:41:32,022 --> 00:41:33,690
(jake) and by evidence,
you mean...
956
00:41:33,692 --> 00:41:36,092
These two coincidences--
the location of the crash
957
00:41:36,094 --> 00:41:37,594
And the missing
satellite footage?
958
00:41:37,596 --> 00:41:39,963
Two things
make a coincidence.
959
00:41:39,965 --> 00:41:41,631
Three things
make a conspiracy.
960
00:41:41,633 --> 00:41:43,533
What's the third thing?
(huck exhales)
961
00:41:49,974 --> 00:41:52,842
The passenger list.
962
00:41:52,844 --> 00:41:55,044
Fifth name from the top.
963
00:41:56,647 --> 00:41:58,214
"maya lewis."
964
00:41:58,216 --> 00:42:00,650
She never took
her husband's name.
965
00:42:00,652 --> 00:42:02,151
What was her husband's name?
966
00:42:02,153 --> 00:42:04,554
Pope.
967
00:42:05,523 --> 00:42:06,789
No.
968
00:42:06,791 --> 00:42:08,858
Liv's mom.
969
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:14,664
(knock on door)
970
00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:19,869
What?
971
00:42:23,874 --> 00:42:27,277
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
