1
00:00:07,139 --> 00:00:09,907
(choking and gasping continue)
2
00:00:09,975 --> 00:00:12,276
Okay, not only are you
supercute...
3
00:00:12,344 --> 00:00:13,311
(keys clatter)
4
00:00:13,378 --> 00:00:14,511
And have a great address,
5
00:00:14,579 --> 00:00:15,879
But you have literally
the nicest people
6
00:00:15,948 --> 00:00:18,748
Working in your bagel shop
that I have ever...
7
00:00:18,816 --> 00:00:20,483
(gideon chokes)
8
00:00:20,551 --> 00:00:23,719
(panting and groaning)
9
00:00:23,787 --> 00:00:26,923
(gasps) no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10
00:00:26,991 --> 00:00:28,524
(grunting)
11
00:00:28,592 --> 00:00:30,660
Oh, god. Ohh.
(grunting and panting)
12
00:00:30,727 --> 00:00:33,096
(grunting and panting)
13
00:00:33,164 --> 00:00:34,997
I-I... Ohh.
14
00:00:37,233 --> 00:00:39,134
(groans)
15
00:00:39,202 --> 00:00:41,136
(crying)
16
00:00:41,204 --> 00:00:43,439
(groaning)
17
00:00:43,506 --> 00:00:45,240
(grunting)
18
00:00:45,308 --> 00:00:46,508
(gurgling)
ohh.
19
00:00:46,576 --> 00:00:48,243
Oh, god. Ohh. Oh, g--
(grunting and panting)
20
00:00:48,311 --> 00:00:49,578
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be fine.
21
00:00:49,645 --> 00:00:50,778
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be fine.
22
00:00:50,846 --> 00:00:52,180
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be fine.
23
00:00:52,247 --> 00:00:53,581
You're--you're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be fine.
24
00:00:53,648 --> 00:00:56,017
I'm gonna get help.
Hold on. Just...
25
00:00:56,085 --> 00:00:57,385
Hold on. Hold on.
(exhales weakly)
26
00:00:57,453 --> 00:00:59,087
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be fine.
27
00:00:59,154 --> 00:01:00,821
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be...
28
00:01:02,391 --> 00:01:03,858
(gasps)
29
00:01:05,694 --> 00:01:09,863
(whimpering)
30
00:01:17,838 --> 00:01:18,938
(exhales unsteadily)
31
00:01:19,007 --> 00:01:21,875
(panting)
32
00:01:23,377 --> 00:01:27,046
(indistinct conversations)
33
00:01:27,114 --> 00:01:31,484
Morning again, mr. Chambers.
You've been a busy man.
34
00:01:31,551 --> 00:01:33,019
I signed you
in two hours ago.
35
00:01:33,086 --> 00:01:34,753
Most people are just prying
their eyelids open,
36
00:01:34,821 --> 00:01:36,155
And you've already been out
causing trouble.
37
00:01:36,223 --> 00:01:38,056
(chuckles) right.
38
00:01:38,124 --> 00:01:39,224
(chuckles) have a good one.
39
00:01:39,291 --> 00:01:42,160
(people speaking indistinctly)
40
00:01:43,795 --> 00:01:45,930
You have a 9:30 with
the legislative affairs team
41
00:01:45,998 --> 00:01:47,598
To discuss
the gulf coast initiative.
44
00:01:50,969 --> 00:01:53,038
For the prayer breakfast,
and then--
45
00:02:04,416 --> 00:02:07,518
(inhales deeply)
46
00:02:11,188 --> 00:02:13,256
(exhales)
47
00:02:20,097 --> 00:02:23,332
(clicking keyboard keys)
48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,102
(panting and grunting)
49
00:02:27,170 --> 00:02:29,137
(knock on door)
50
00:02:29,205 --> 00:02:30,405
(door opens)
51
00:02:30,473 --> 00:02:31,606
Quinn?
52
00:02:31,674 --> 00:02:33,141
Oh. Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
53
00:02:33,209 --> 00:02:34,742
I didn't know what to do.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
54
00:02:34,810 --> 00:02:35,810
I'm sorry.
I was gonna call 9-1-1,
55
00:02:35,878 --> 00:02:36,978
And then he...
56
00:02:37,046 --> 00:02:39,414
Quinn, who else have
you called?
57
00:02:39,482 --> 00:02:41,916
You. Just you, because whoever
k-killed gideon, he's out there.
58
00:02:41,984 --> 00:02:43,016
We should call the police.
We should.
59
00:02:43,085 --> 00:02:44,118
The police have
to be called.
60
00:02:44,186 --> 00:02:45,286
Quinn, we can't call
the police.
61
00:02:45,353 --> 00:02:46,554
Why, why, why, why, why?
He's dead.
62
00:02:46,621 --> 00:02:47,921
When someone's dead,
you call the police.
63
00:02:47,989 --> 00:02:49,290
You and I both know why
we can't call the police.
64
00:02:49,357 --> 00:02:51,358
What? He's dead. Why can't we?
We have to. Why?
65
00:02:51,426 --> 00:02:52,493
Because if we call
the police,
66
00:02:52,561 --> 00:02:54,595
They'll find out
who you really are.
67
00:02:54,662 --> 00:02:57,498
(whimpering)
68
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:02,034
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
69
00:03:02,103 --> 00:03:05,205
Sync by into-the-light,
www.addic7ed.com
70
00:03:05,272 --> 00:03:06,439
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
71
00:03:06,507 --> 00:03:07,440
(camera shutter clicks)
72
00:03:07,508 --> 00:03:08,575
(people speaking indistinctly)
73
00:03:08,642 --> 00:03:09,576
(door closes)
74
00:03:09,643 --> 00:03:11,111
Cyrus.
75
00:03:11,178 --> 00:03:13,146
(sighs)
76
00:03:13,214 --> 00:03:15,847
James wants to adopt
an ethiopian baby.
77
00:03:15,915 --> 00:03:17,249
That's good.
78
00:03:17,317 --> 00:03:18,917
It is. It is good, but I've
been fighting him on it,
79
00:03:18,985 --> 00:03:22,287
Been making all sorts of excuses
about why it's not a good idea.
80
00:03:22,355 --> 00:03:24,356
I'm not a young man.
I work crazy hours.
81
00:03:24,424 --> 00:03:26,258
Once you have a kid,
your life's no longer your own.
82
00:03:26,326 --> 00:03:27,526
The usual suspects.
83
00:03:27,594 --> 00:03:28,927
The whole thing was
off the table,
84
00:03:28,995 --> 00:03:30,794
At least until last night.
85
00:03:30,862 --> 00:03:32,896
Last night?
86
00:03:32,964 --> 00:03:34,599
Yeah, last night,
when I went looking
87
00:03:34,666 --> 00:03:36,501
For the president
of the United States
88
00:03:36,568 --> 00:03:38,902
And found out that he was
at his girlfriend's house.
89
00:03:41,806 --> 00:03:44,875
Here it comes.
Cyrus the holy.
90
00:03:44,943 --> 00:03:47,511
You tell me to go to war
with olivia pope,
91
00:03:47,578 --> 00:03:48,411
Then you spend the night
with her.
92
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:50,014
Are you out of your mind?
93
00:03:50,081 --> 00:03:51,448
What did you do,
throw pebbles at her window,
94
00:03:51,516 --> 00:03:53,050
Hide under her bed
while her mom and dad
95
00:03:53,118 --> 00:03:54,317
Came by her room,
said good night?
96
00:03:54,385 --> 00:03:55,619
All right. That's enough.
97
00:03:55,687 --> 00:03:58,022
Why did you even run
for this job, to get laid?
98
00:03:58,089 --> 00:03:58,989
You couldn't get laid
as governor?
99
00:03:59,057 --> 00:04:01,324
Get out of my office.
100
00:04:01,392 --> 00:04:03,793
What you did last night
was stupid and reckless!
101
00:04:03,861 --> 00:04:06,696
You want to know what I gave up
to put you here in this office,
102
00:04:06,764 --> 00:04:08,665
What I've done for you,
the ends that I've gone to?
103
00:04:08,732 --> 00:04:10,767
If you had any idea--
I am so sick
104
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:13,202
Of you saying you put me
in the white house.
105
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:16,139
I got myself elected.
I put myself in the white house.
106
00:04:16,206 --> 00:04:17,840
You were a flyboy
with a good head of hair
107
00:04:17,908 --> 00:04:19,007
And a pushy dad.
108
00:04:19,075 --> 00:04:20,876
I'm sorry if the girl
that you hired,
109
00:04:20,943 --> 00:04:24,012
The girl you mentored, the girl
you brought in to save the day,
110
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,717
Your girl,
fell in love with me.
111
00:04:28,785 --> 00:04:30,385
That must really eat
at you, cy.
112
00:04:31,954 --> 00:04:33,555
You don't deserve this job.
113
00:04:33,622 --> 00:04:35,455
And yet here I am!
(knock on door, door opens)
114
00:04:35,523 --> 00:04:37,291
Sorry to interrupt,
mr. President.
115
00:04:37,358 --> 00:04:39,293
It's the cult situation
in georgia.
116
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,763
Three a.T.F. Agents were just
shot near the compound.
117
00:04:42,831 --> 00:04:44,131
(man speaks indistinctly)
118
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,600
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
119
00:04:46,668 --> 00:04:47,702
(olivia, lowered voice)
she's our client.
120
00:04:47,769 --> 00:04:49,369
(harrison)
we barely know her.
121
00:04:49,437 --> 00:04:51,237
(stephen)
no, she's an employee.
Who we barely know.
122
00:04:51,305 --> 00:04:52,538
And now she's our client.
(abby) there is
a dead reporter on the floor.
123
00:04:52,606 --> 00:04:53,907
Can we have this conversation
someplace else?
124
00:04:53,974 --> 00:04:54,808
I don't know why
we're not calling it in.
125
00:04:54,875 --> 00:04:56,309
I'll dial 9-1-1 right now.
126
00:04:56,376 --> 00:04:57,944
We can't do that.
(stephen) why not?
127
00:04:58,012 --> 00:04:59,979
I'm gonna have to ask you
to not move.
128
00:05:00,047 --> 00:05:01,247
Huh?
You're leaving footprints.
129
00:05:01,315 --> 00:05:02,582
If we call the police,
there's gonna be
130
00:05:02,649 --> 00:05:04,017
A problem for quinn.
What? What problem?
131
00:05:04,085 --> 00:05:05,484
She can't be photographed,
booked, or fingerprinted
132
00:05:05,552 --> 00:05:06,852
In any official capacity.
(chuckles)
133
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,754
She cannot be connected
to the crime scene in any way.
134
00:05:08,822 --> 00:05:09,888
Why not?
135
00:05:09,956 --> 00:05:11,623
Her name isn't actually
quinn perkins.
136
00:05:11,691 --> 00:05:12,958
What?
(stephen and abby)
who the hell is she?
137
00:05:13,026 --> 00:05:14,559
She's our client.
That's who she is.
138
00:05:14,627 --> 00:05:16,161
That's all I need to tell you.
That's all you need to know.
139
00:05:16,229 --> 00:05:18,197
She's our client,
and she needs our help.
140
00:05:18,264 --> 00:05:20,065
What are we supposed to do?
She's covered in blood.
141
00:05:20,133 --> 00:05:21,399
Her fingerprints are
everywhere.
142
00:05:21,467 --> 00:05:23,201
How do you think we're
getting her out of here?
143
00:05:23,268 --> 00:05:25,937
(quinn panting and grunting)
144
00:05:26,004 --> 00:05:27,105
I'm gonna want hands
covered.
145
00:05:27,172 --> 00:05:28,806
No way! I am an officer
of the court.
146
00:05:28,874 --> 00:05:29,774
So is harrison.
So is abby. So is liv.
147
00:05:29,842 --> 00:05:31,375
Okay, if we're doing this...
148
00:05:31,443 --> 00:05:32,944
(sighs)
we're destroying
all the evidence.
149
00:05:33,011 --> 00:05:34,245
You realize
what this means, liv?
150
00:05:34,312 --> 00:05:36,647
I've been to prison,
and I'm not going back.
151
00:05:36,715 --> 00:05:37,615
You were in prison
for three days.
152
00:05:37,682 --> 00:05:39,816
It was prison!
Who are you?
153
00:05:39,884 --> 00:05:41,151
No! Do not.
She's our client.
154
00:05:41,219 --> 00:05:42,318
I don't--
hey!
155
00:05:42,386 --> 00:05:44,755
No moving.
We can't leave her here.
156
00:05:44,822 --> 00:05:46,156
(lowered voice) okay,
I'm gonna want you to say it,
157
00:05:46,224 --> 00:05:47,657
Because once you say this,
there's no going back.
158
00:05:47,725 --> 00:05:49,993
The police will never be able
to find gideon's killer.
159
00:05:50,061 --> 00:05:52,095
His murder never gets
solved.
160
00:05:58,201 --> 00:06:01,571
(quinn panting)
161
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:03,406
We clean it.
162
00:06:03,474 --> 00:06:04,807
(sighs) ohh!
163
00:06:04,875 --> 00:06:06,142
(sighs)
164
00:06:11,547 --> 00:06:12,614
Take 'em or leave 'em?
165
00:06:12,682 --> 00:06:14,115
Did you touch them?
What?
166
00:06:14,183 --> 00:06:15,216
Did you touch
the scissors?
167
00:06:15,285 --> 00:06:16,285
I pulled them out
of his neck.
168
00:06:16,352 --> 00:06:17,852
Take 'em.
What's happening?
169
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,588
(harrison)
I think they had sex.
What's happening?
170
00:06:19,656 --> 00:06:20,855
Did you sleep with gideon
last night?
What's happening?
171
00:06:20,923 --> 00:06:21,990
If you did, your d.N.A.
Could be on the sheets.
172
00:06:22,057 --> 00:06:23,759
We'll need to take them.
Did you?
173
00:06:23,826 --> 00:06:25,294
I don't understand.
I found some clothes.
I think they'll fit.

We should take it.
176

What?
You'll need to remove
your clothes.
177
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,001
Judging by lividity, he's been
dead less than two hours.

grilled cheese.

I bagged that, too.

00:06:36,905 --> 00:06:38,372
Can someone--
your clothes--
they're covered in blood.
181
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,707
Your shoes, too. I'm gonna need
you to take 'em off.
182
00:06:39,775 --> 00:06:40,874
Put on this t-shirt
and sweatpants.

no moving! Right here.

Quinn, I'm sorry, but--

Please do not spread
your d.N.A. Any further.
186
00:06:45,946 --> 00:06:47,914
Just change right here.
I don't--I don't understand.
187
00:06:47,981 --> 00:06:50,016
Look, you have to change,
and it has to be now, okay?

All right. Gideon wallace.
What do we know?
249
00:09:00,344 --> 00:09:01,578
The last couple of weeks,
he's been working on a story
250
00:09:01,646 --> 00:09:02,980
About amanda tanner.
251
00:09:03,047 --> 00:09:04,347
(harrison) obviously he got
too close to something,
252
00:09:04,415 --> 00:09:05,816
Got a pair of scissors
in the neck for his trouble.
253
00:09:05,883 --> 00:09:08,218
He figured out who sent her
to sleep with the president.
254
00:09:08,285 --> 00:09:10,820
Somebody sent amanda in
to sleep with the president?
255
00:09:10,887 --> 00:09:12,989
How do we know that part?

00:09:13,056 --> 00:09:14,256
We just do.

I don't think it's important.
Let's move on.

Gideon made 28 phone calls
last night,

00:09:19,262 --> 00:09:20,830
All d.C. And virginia
area codes.
261
00:09:20,897 --> 00:09:22,331
The last call was
to the white house switchboard.
262
00:09:22,398 --> 00:09:23,499
So he was trying to call one
of these people.
263
00:09:23,566 --> 00:09:25,167
"boyfriend lives
in logan circle."
264
00:09:25,235 --> 00:09:26,935
Amanda had a boyfriend?
Who works
at the white house.
265
00:09:27,003 --> 00:09:28,269
That's our guy.
What about his laptop?
266
00:09:28,337 --> 00:09:30,338
He was on it most of the night
looking at video.
267
00:09:30,405 --> 00:09:31,973
It's gonna take me a few hours
to go through it all.

268
00:09:32,041 --> 00:09:33,608

call every number on that pad.

At 9:30 this morning,
gunfire erupted outside
276
00:09:49,958 --> 00:09:52,393
The heaven's rapture compound
in hacklene, georgia.
277
00:09:52,461 --> 00:09:54,094
Three a.T.F. Agents
were wounded,
278
00:09:54,163 --> 00:09:56,464
Though I can confirm that
they're now in stable condition.

It's been a long morning. Yes.
282
00:10:02,703 --> 00:10:04,704
(man) what course of action can
we expect from the president...
283
00:10:04,772 --> 00:10:06,439
It's a crazy world
we live in, ted.
284
00:10:06,507 --> 00:10:08,107
What?
You're gonna want to get
this next part loud and clear.

...Which include
vice president langston
286
00:10:10,344 --> 00:10:11,844
And attorney general sawyer,
are determined not to use force.
(camera shutters clicking)
287
00:10:11,912 --> 00:10:13,613
Excuse me.
That doesn't mean
they're not going to,
288
00:10:13,681 --> 00:10:15,314
And as to further details...
Excuse me.
289
00:10:15,382 --> 00:10:17,082
I can't tell you anything new.
Excuse me.
290
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:18,584
We have
a couple of options here.
291
00:10:18,652 --> 00:10:21,187
If we go in through the back
of the compound,
292
00:10:21,254 --> 00:10:22,354
That will give us
the easiest access
293
00:10:22,422 --> 00:10:24,323
To the schoolhouse building.
294
00:10:24,391 --> 00:10:27,660
Our satellite images confirm
that the adjacent armory
295
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:30,228
Is accessible through
an unarmed rooftop doorway.
296
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:32,129
Holy crap.
297
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:35,300
The president is determined
not to use...
298
00:10:35,367 --> 00:10:37,268
(sighs)
an--billy?
299
00:10:37,336 --> 00:10:39,337
Sorry about your morning, marv.
It's about to get longer.
300
00:10:39,405 --> 00:10:42,273
Good morning, everyone.
301
00:10:42,341 --> 00:10:43,974
My name is
william david chambers,
302
00:10:44,042 --> 00:10:46,210
And for the past 14 months,
I've had the great honor
303
00:10:46,277 --> 00:10:48,478
To serve
vice president sally langston
304
00:10:48,546 --> 00:10:52,716
As her chief of staff, so it is
with deep sadness and regret
305
00:10:52,783 --> 00:10:55,819
That I will resign
my position officially,
306
00:10:55,886 --> 00:10:57,654
Effective immediately.
(reporters murmuring)
307
00:10:57,722 --> 00:10:59,389
(camera shutters clicking)
now I've prayed long and hard
308
00:10:59,457 --> 00:11:01,258
For a solution
to the painful situation
309
00:11:01,326 --> 00:11:03,826
I find myself in,
but... (sighs)
310
00:11:03,893 --> 00:11:05,828
But I've come up short.
311
00:11:05,895 --> 00:11:07,363
Now the bible tells us,
312
00:11:07,431 --> 00:11:09,699
"a false witness
will not go unpunished,
313
00:11:09,766 --> 00:11:12,602
And he who pours out lies
will perish,"
314
00:11:12,669 --> 00:11:15,471
So I will take what
little solace I can this morning
315
00:11:15,539 --> 00:11:18,940
By simply telling the truth,
and the truth is this...
316
00:11:19,007 --> 00:11:21,376
I had an affair
with a white house aide
317
00:11:21,444 --> 00:11:22,944
Named amanda tanner.
318
00:11:23,011 --> 00:11:24,779
(camera shutters click,
reports shout all at once)
319
00:11:24,847 --> 00:11:26,548
Gideon had it narrowed down
to 57 male employees
320
00:11:26,649 --> 00:11:27,949
in the west wing
321
00:11:28,016 --> 00:11:29,951
He's on tv right now.
I want blood types on everyone.
322
00:11:30,018 --> 00:11:31,786
If we crossmatch them
to the coroners report--
323
00:11:31,854 --> 00:11:33,288
Find amanda's baby daddy,
and gideon's murderer.
324
00:11:33,356 --> 00:11:35,021
He's on tv right now.
(whistles) it's a twofer.
325
00:11:35,089 --> 00:11:36,523
(raised voice)
he's on tv right now.
(billy) amanda and I met
326
00:11:36,591 --> 00:11:39,159
On the campaign trail
two years ago.
327
00:11:39,227 --> 00:11:40,594
Uh, we fell l love,
and when I learned that...
(camera shutters clicking)
328
00:11:40,662 --> 00:11:43,196
She was carrying our child,
I planned to propose,
329
00:11:43,265 --> 00:11:47,033
So you can imagine my shock
and horror when I learned
330
00:11:47,101 --> 00:11:49,002
That the president
of the United States
331
00:11:49,070 --> 00:11:51,571
Was abusing
his power and privilege
332
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:53,606
To take sexual advantage
of ms. Tanner...
(reporters murmuring)
333
00:11:53,674 --> 00:11:56,243
When I learned
that she killed herself
334
00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:58,678
Only weeks after sleeping
with the president,
335
00:11:58,746 --> 00:12:02,548
And when I... When I found
an explicit audiotape
336
00:12:02,616 --> 00:12:05,285
That amanda had made
337
00:12:05,352 --> 00:12:09,155
Of her sexual encounter
in the oval office
338
00:12:09,222 --> 00:12:11,556
With the president
of the United States.
339
00:12:11,624 --> 00:12:13,225
If you have any questions,
I'd be happy to take them.
340
00:12:13,293 --> 00:12:16,395
(reporters all talking at once)
341
00:12:16,462 --> 00:12:18,197
(man) have you spoken
to ms. Tanner's family?
342
00:12:18,265 --> 00:12:21,333
I haven't, but, uh, obviously,
my thoughts and prayers
343
00:12:21,401 --> 00:12:23,301
Are with them
and have been all along.
344
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:24,235
Where did you find the tape?
(man) what does it have
on it exactly?
345
00:12:24,303 --> 00:12:25,770
Please guys, one at a time.
346
00:12:25,838 --> 00:12:27,839
(man) did amanda tanner
tell you she was seeing
347
00:12:27,907 --> 00:12:29,140
The president?
She did. She was very upset
about it. She came...
348
00:12:29,208 --> 00:12:31,042
Red team will take the lead.
349
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:32,743
(whispers indistinctly)
they will secure
all of the children
350
00:12:32,812 --> 00:12:35,013
In the compound first,
prior to the arrival
351
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,948
Of the blue team
and intelligence--
352
00:12:37,016 --> 00:12:39,049
Now what's interesting is,
353
00:12:39,117 --> 00:12:40,517
Lincoln never actually...
(man) have you had a chance
to talk with the president?
354
00:12:40,584 --> 00:12:41,852
Slept
in the lincoln bedroom.
No, I haven't.
355
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,786
I-I don't think
the president cares
356
00:12:42,854 --> 00:12:44,387
To speak with me right now,
357
00:12:47,258 --> 00:12:48,959
I discovered it among
amanda's personal effects.
358
00:12:49,027 --> 00:12:50,260
(woman) so, billy, you've
heard the tape yourself?
359
00:12:50,328 --> 00:12:52,229
Unfortunately, yes.
Look...
360
00:12:52,297 --> 00:12:53,463
When you hear the tape,
361
00:12:53,531 --> 00:12:54,764
And I-I can promise
that you will,
362
00:12:54,832 --> 00:12:56,165
I think you will all agree
363
00:12:56,233 --> 00:12:58,267
That it is unmistakably
president grant.
364
00:12:58,335 --> 00:12:59,936
(man) do you feel the public
has a right to hear
365
00:13:00,003 --> 00:13:01,337
What's on that tape?
(lowered voice)
you get him down.
366
00:13:01,404 --> 00:13:02,839
I don't care how you do it.
Why is he still talking?
367
00:13:02,906 --> 00:13:04,040
(lowered voice)
all due respect, sir,
368
00:13:04,107 --> 00:13:05,407
We need to consider
the optics here.
369
00:13:05,475 --> 00:13:06,675
Oh, no. Go.
Forcibly removing
370
00:13:06,743 --> 00:13:08,044
The vice president's
chief of staff
371
00:13:08,111 --> 00:13:09,445
From the press podium
is just gonna legitimize...
372
00:13:09,512 --> 00:13:10,579
(cyrus) I want him down now.
Whatever this--
373
00:13:10,647 --> 00:13:12,080
Now! Now!
Everyone, it looks like
374
00:13:12,148 --> 00:13:13,348
That's all the time I have.
(camera shutters clicking)
375
00:13:13,415 --> 00:13:16,451
(reporters all shouting at once)
376
00:13:16,518 --> 00:13:17,485
It's been a morning.
377
00:13:17,553 --> 00:13:18,720
You're fired, marvin.
378
00:13:18,787 --> 00:13:20,288
(reporters continue shouting)
379
00:13:20,356 --> 00:13:21,857
(woman)
and it was just minutes ago,
380
00:13:21,924 --> 00:13:24,860
Former vice president
chief of staff billy chambers
381
00:13:24,927 --> 00:13:26,594
Leveled
some truly shocking charges
382
00:13:26,662 --> 00:13:27,928
Against president grant.
383
00:13:27,996 --> 00:13:29,563
The president
of the United States was
384
00:13:29,630 --> 00:13:32,699
Abusing his power to take
sexual advantage of ms. Tanner.
385
00:13:39,133 --> 00:13:40,568
{Pub}You are letting
billy chambers run roughshod
386
00:13:40,635 --> 00:13:41,902
Over everything we've spent
the past 15 years working for!
387
00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:43,103
I am not! I am trying
to figure out what to do,
388
00:13:43,171 --> 00:13:44,471
The best thing,
the best way to--
389
00:13:44,539 --> 00:13:45,706
Get out there and tell them
you didn't do it!
390
00:13:45,774 --> 00:13:47,107
Right now. Walk outside.
391
00:13:47,175 --> 00:13:49,009
Tell the press
you never touched her,
392
00:13:49,077 --> 00:13:50,477
You don't even know which girl
they're talking about.
393
00:13:50,545 --> 00:13:51,611
That would be a lie.
394
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,345
Then lie!
395
00:13:53,413 --> 00:13:54,781
I can't.
Why the hell not?
396
00:13:54,848 --> 00:13:56,683
Because I'm not you, mellie.
(sighs)
397
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:58,651
The american people
put their trust in me.
398
00:13:58,719 --> 00:13:59,953
I've already let them down.
399
00:14:00,020 --> 00:14:02,221
I'm not willing
to lie to them on top of it.
400
00:14:02,289 --> 00:14:03,790
Ohh.
401
00:14:03,857 --> 00:14:08,359
You don't want to save yourself,
fine. You're on your own.
402
00:14:08,427 --> 00:14:10,128
(sighs)
403
00:14:10,196 --> 00:14:11,262
(indistinct conversations)
404
00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:12,530
It's about time
they brought you in.
405
00:14:12,599 --> 00:14:13,799
They need the big guns
on this one.
406
00:14:13,866 --> 00:14:15,467
But I can't make
any promises.
407
00:14:15,534 --> 00:14:18,203
Hey, in all my years here,
he's the only president
408
00:14:18,270 --> 00:14:21,873
Who's made a point to ask
about my wife and kids.
409
00:14:21,941 --> 00:14:23,808
You do your best, ms. Pope.
410
00:14:23,875 --> 00:14:26,276
(man) all right, guys.
Let's go.
411
00:14:26,344 --> 00:14:28,079
(woman) okay, let's go back
and take it from the top.
All right, henry.
412
00:14:28,146 --> 00:14:29,446
We're going live.
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
413
00:14:29,514 --> 00:14:31,415
Only deafening silence
from the white house in response
414
00:14:31,483 --> 00:14:33,250
To the allegations.
Details are starting to emerge
about amanda tanner,
415
00:14:34,452 --> 00:14:35,886
Can't be determined
at this time...
416
00:14:35,954 --> 00:14:37,788
We can clearly hear
the president saying the words
417
00:14:37,856 --> 00:14:39,222
"take off your clothes."
418
00:14:39,289 --> 00:14:42,892
(people speaking indistinctly)
419
00:14:44,695 --> 00:14:46,830
(chuckles)
420
00:14:50,901 --> 00:14:54,037
You know, in vegas you can bet
on political candidates.
421
00:14:54,105 --> 00:14:55,470
Before I brought you
on board,
422
00:14:55,538 --> 00:14:58,841
The odds on grant for president
were listed at 70 to 1.
423
00:14:58,908 --> 00:15:01,644
You should have put
money down.
424
00:15:01,711 --> 00:15:03,045
You didn't.
425
00:15:03,113 --> 00:15:04,847
Won enough for a nice vacation
I'll never take.
426
00:15:04,914 --> 00:15:06,749
(chuckles)
427
00:15:06,816 --> 00:15:09,118
Think we could do it again,
428
00:15:09,185 --> 00:15:11,119
The impossible?
429
00:15:13,789 --> 00:15:16,257
Or we go down trying.
430
00:15:19,161 --> 00:15:21,129
(people speaking indistinctly)
431
00:15:21,196 --> 00:15:23,064
You publish president grant's
political obituary,
432
00:15:23,132 --> 00:15:25,399
And you will eat those words
for the rest of your days, tom.
433
00:15:25,467 --> 00:15:28,068
I'm just asking you to keep
the damn caucuses at bay...
434
00:15:28,136 --> 00:15:29,836
Well, that's why...
Until I get you
talking points.
435
00:15:29,904 --> 00:15:31,738
You should wait
for the whole story.
436
00:15:31,806 --> 00:15:34,074
(olivia) do you want to owe
your readers an entire apology?
Everyone.
437
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:36,710
No, it happens.
(cyrus) yeah. No.
There are a lot of--
438
00:15:36,778 --> 00:15:38,111
Everyone!
Hold on.
439
00:15:38,179 --> 00:15:40,847
I need the room.
Cyrus, olivia, stay.
440
00:15:40,915 --> 00:15:42,615
I'm gonna need
to call you back, tom...
(cyrus)
I have to call you back.
441
00:15:42,683 --> 00:15:44,550
But you are to make no decisions
without talking to me first.
442
00:15:44,617 --> 00:15:45,851
Clear? Got it?
(receiver clatters)
443
00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:47,486
Thank you.
(clatters)
444
00:15:47,554 --> 00:15:49,354
Catch me up.
(sighs)
445
00:15:49,422 --> 00:15:50,923
(sighs)
billy's making the rounds.
446
00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:52,457
Networks are wall-to-wall
with this.
447
00:15:52,525 --> 00:15:54,860
Majors broke into daytime
and trotted out the big guns.
448
00:15:54,928 --> 00:15:56,228
We need a statement
from you on camera,
449
00:15:56,296 --> 00:15:58,397
Preferably with mellie
by your side.
450
00:15:58,464 --> 00:16:01,632
That ship's sailed.
She's taking the kids
451
00:16:01,701 --> 00:16:04,135
Fine. You alone from the oval.
A flat denial.
452
00:16:04,203 --> 00:16:05,770
I'm not lying
about this, cy.
453
00:16:05,838 --> 00:16:07,405
Anyway, a cover-up's always
worse than the truth.
454
00:16:07,472 --> 00:16:08,940
Well, we don't have enough
truth yet.
455
00:16:09,008 --> 00:16:11,509
There's more to this story.
I'm sending you to georgia.
456
00:16:11,577 --> 00:16:12,410
Milk the end
of the cult standoff.
457
00:16:12,477 --> 00:16:13,578
It will buy us some time.
458
00:16:13,645 --> 00:16:15,080
He'll look like
he's running from this.
459
00:16:15,147 --> 00:16:17,881
He'll look presidential.
We need you business as usual,
460
00:16:17,949 --> 00:16:19,717
Focused on what's important
for the country.
461
00:16:19,784 --> 00:16:21,686
Wave as you walk out
to marine one.
462
00:16:21,753 --> 00:16:23,654
Remember, you're not dodging.
You're working.
463
00:16:23,722 --> 00:16:24,922
We'll let that image
speak for us
464
00:16:24,989 --> 00:16:26,324
Until we figure out
what billy's up to.
465
00:16:26,391 --> 00:16:27,991
Yeah.
466
00:16:28,059 --> 00:16:29,860
I never thought it would be one
of our own trying to sink us.
467
00:16:31,096 --> 00:16:32,696
(chuckles)
468
00:16:32,763 --> 00:16:35,198
(billy)
look, I can speculate...
469
00:16:35,266 --> 00:16:36,633
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
all day long as to why
470
00:16:36,701 --> 00:16:38,735
The most powerful man
in the world would want
471
00:16:38,802 --> 00:16:40,737
To throw it all away
for some tawdry affair,
472
00:16:40,804 --> 00:16:44,374
But... I think we should
let president grant
473
00:16:44,442 --> 00:16:46,243
Speak for himself.
474
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:48,777
Here it is, folks.
Your president.
475
00:16:48,845 --> 00:16:50,078
(tape recorder clicks)
(fitz) take off your clothes.
476
00:16:50,146 --> 00:16:52,715
(projector whirs and clicks)
477
00:16:52,782 --> 00:16:54,082
(camera shutters clicking)
(reporters) mr. President.
478
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:55,484
Did you have sexual relations
with amanda tanner?
479
00:16:55,552 --> 00:16:56,619
Was mellie aware
of the affair?
480
00:16:56,686 --> 00:16:58,153
Is billy chambers telling
the truth?
481
00:16:58,221 --> 00:17:00,289
We've been focused on protecting
the innocent children caught
482
00:17:00,357 --> 00:17:01,923
In the middle
of this terrible ordeal.
483
00:17:01,991 --> 00:17:03,558
Thankfully,
no lives were lost.
484
00:17:03,626 --> 00:17:04,759
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
thanks.
485
00:17:04,826 --> 00:17:05,893
(fitz) take off your clothes.
486
00:17:05,961 --> 00:17:07,662
(projector whirs and clicks)
487
00:17:07,730 --> 00:17:09,530
No president has done more...
(cyrus speaks indistinctly)
really?
488
00:17:09,598 --> 00:17:11,132
To put women at the forefront
of his administration.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
489
00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:13,100
Your organization...
Like hell you will, senator.
490
00:17:13,168 --> 00:17:14,769
Okay, fine.
Endorsed him in the election,
and I need you to stand firm...
491
00:17:14,836 --> 00:17:16,638
We can switch from frenemies
to enemies. I'm flexible.
492
00:17:16,705 --> 00:17:17,972
Yes.
I'm easy, you stupid,
ungrateful son of a bitch.
493
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:20,340
(clatters)
494
00:17:20,408 --> 00:17:21,642
(camera shutter clicks)
(fitz) take off your clothes.
495
00:17:21,709 --> 00:17:24,010
(projector whirs and clicks)
496
00:17:24,078 --> 00:17:25,078
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
497
00:17:25,146 --> 00:17:26,313
(clatters)
498
00:17:26,381 --> 00:17:27,648
How bad?
(closes door)
499
00:17:27,715 --> 00:17:29,716
Internal flash poll has us
down 25 to 28 approval
500
00:17:29,784 --> 00:17:31,718
With 67% answering yes
to the question
501
00:17:31,786 --> 00:17:32,786
Of whether the president
should resign.
502
00:17:32,853 --> 00:17:34,521
We gotta rein this in.
503
00:17:34,589 --> 00:17:36,522
There's only one person that may
be capable of that right now.
504
00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:37,690
So you think billy chambers
is the problem,
505
00:17:37,758 --> 00:17:39,325
And I'm somehow
the solution?
506
00:17:39,393 --> 00:17:40,693
Let's not be coy
with one another, sally.
507
00:17:40,761 --> 00:17:42,762
Billy's your boy.

678
00:24:25,855 --> 00:24:27,522
For the next three years.
I'll wear it around my neck
679
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:29,624
Until the end of my term.
My hands will be tied.
680
00:24:29,693 --> 00:24:31,526
I'll be lucky if I can get
a parks and rec bill passed.
681
00:24:31,594 --> 00:24:35,763
Let's put the country
out of its misery, end it now.
682
00:24:35,831 --> 00:24:37,465
(cyrus) and then what?
683
00:24:37,533 --> 00:24:39,834
(sighs)
684
00:24:39,902 --> 00:24:43,171
We go be regular people, cy.
685
00:24:43,239 --> 00:24:45,006
(chuckles) you can't be
a regular person.
686
00:24:45,074 --> 00:24:46,341
(sighs)
687
00:24:46,409 --> 00:24:48,676
We--we can't.
688
00:24:48,743 --> 00:24:50,844
(sighs) we're not...
689
00:24:50,912 --> 00:24:53,113
(sighs) ohh. I...
690
00:24:54,782 --> 00:24:57,884
I can't adopt a baby!
691
00:25:00,988 --> 00:25:02,122
(sighs)
692
00:25:04,725 --> 00:25:07,126
I'm so sorry.
693
00:25:08,529 --> 00:25:11,664
I'm not. (chuckles)
694
00:25:11,732 --> 00:25:13,333
I'm not.
695
00:25:15,001 --> 00:25:17,970
A man who isn't president
has options.
696
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:22,708
A man who isn't president
can divorce his wife.
697
00:25:22,775 --> 00:25:24,243
Fitz.
698
00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:26,545
A man who isn't president
can have a life...
699
00:25:28,748 --> 00:25:31,916
The life he wants,
700
00:25:31,984 --> 00:25:34,353
The life he's always
wanted...
701
00:25:36,121 --> 00:25:38,289
With the woman he loves.
702
00:25:42,561 --> 00:25:44,795
(whispers) the cameras.
703
00:25:46,298 --> 00:25:48,232
(both chuckle)
704
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:50,301
I don't care.
705
00:25:51,602 --> 00:25:54,304
(sighs)
706
00:26:21,507 --> 00:26:24,242
{Pub}(indistinct conversations)
707
00:26:35,219 --> 00:26:37,854
Of all the paintings
in the white house... (sighs)
708
00:26:37,922 --> 00:26:39,255
This one is my favorite.
709
00:26:39,323 --> 00:26:42,492
Alexander hamilton--
as brilliant a political thinker
710
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,627
As any man or woman who has
ever walked these halls,
711
00:26:44,695 --> 00:26:46,429
But he wasn't the president.
712
00:26:46,497 --> 00:26:49,432
Washington was the president.
He was the winner,
713
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:52,168
But hamilton could pick
a winner.
714
00:26:52,235 --> 00:26:56,104
He knew who the country needed
when they needed it.
715
00:26:56,172 --> 00:26:58,607
I don't doubt that
he could do it,
716
00:26:58,675 --> 00:27:00,676
Live the normal life
he's always wanted--
717
00:27:00,743 --> 00:27:04,580
Walk the dog, mow the lawn--
a simple life, a happy life.
718
00:27:04,647 --> 00:27:06,882
For most people, that's fine.
It's all they need.
719
00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:08,984
For him, it's a waste...
720
00:27:09,051 --> 00:27:11,987
Of talent, of potential.
721
00:27:12,054 --> 00:27:14,155
(sighs) that man was born
to be a leader.
722
00:27:14,223 --> 00:27:16,557
He was born to do this.
723
00:27:16,625 --> 00:27:20,495
Anything less would diminish him
and deprive this country.
724
00:27:20,562 --> 00:27:24,265
He can talk all he wants
about a regular life.
725
00:27:24,333 --> 00:27:26,200
Some men aren't meant
to be happy.
726
00:27:28,303 --> 00:27:30,037
They're meant to be great.
727
00:27:33,908 --> 00:27:36,943
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
728
00:27:43,650 --> 00:27:45,784
I got this. (sighs)
729
00:27:45,852 --> 00:27:47,353
(door opens)
730
00:27:49,356 --> 00:27:51,857
(door closes)
731
00:28:00,733 --> 00:28:03,335
I've been screwing around
on georgia.
732
00:28:03,403 --> 00:28:05,303
I don't want to lie anymore.
I'm gonna tell her the truth,
733
00:28:05,371 --> 00:28:08,473
And then she'll break off
the engagement.
734
00:28:09,642 --> 00:28:13,711
I tried, liv. I... Leapt.
735
00:28:13,779 --> 00:28:17,248
You said
if I tried and failed,
736
00:28:17,315 --> 00:28:19,517
It was not on me.
737
00:28:22,454 --> 00:28:23,887
You were wrong.
738
00:28:25,123 --> 00:28:27,925
I cheated. It is on me.
739
00:28:27,992 --> 00:28:30,793
And it's on you, too.
740
00:28:30,861 --> 00:28:32,529
It's always on you.
741
00:28:32,596 --> 00:28:36,166
You can't do this.
You can't have him.
742
00:28:50,146 --> 00:28:51,846
(sighs)
743
00:28:55,418 --> 00:28:56,952
(chuckles)
744
00:29:00,756 --> 00:29:04,125
Normal is overrated.
745
00:29:13,135 --> 00:29:15,736
(clears throat)
746
00:29:17,106 --> 00:29:19,206
Abby, stephen,
dust off my campaign file
747
00:29:19,273 --> 00:29:20,907
For sally langston.
We need ammunition--
748
00:29:20,975 --> 00:29:22,309
Big, small,
anything you can find.
749
00:29:22,376 --> 00:29:23,676
Dig deep and dig fast.
750
00:29:23,744 --> 00:29:24,644
Huck, I need
the first lady's schedule
751
00:29:24,712 --> 00:29:26,045
For the next 12 hours.
752
00:29:26,114 --> 00:29:28,648
I'm gonna need to see her alone.
Find me a window.
753
00:29:28,716 --> 00:29:30,016
Harrison,
check back with quinn.
754
00:29:30,084 --> 00:29:32,652
Make sure
david's behaving himself.
755
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,020
Liv.
756
00:29:35,088 --> 00:29:37,189
Billy chambers--
I can take care of that.
757
00:29:37,257 --> 00:29:38,457
Take care of?
758
00:29:38,525 --> 00:29:40,326
If you want me to,
it's no problem.
759
00:29:43,696 --> 00:29:45,964
(lowered voice)
huck, I do not want you
760
00:29:46,032 --> 00:29:47,866
To kill billy chambers.
761
00:29:47,934 --> 00:29:49,602
(whispers)
okay, that's cool. Whatever.
762
00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:51,702
Promise me.
763
00:29:51,770 --> 00:29:53,804
(lowered voice) I promise.
764
00:29:53,872 --> 00:29:57,609
Say, "I promise not
to kill billy chambers."
765
00:29:57,676 --> 00:30:00,911
I promise not to kill
billy chambers.
766
00:30:02,714 --> 00:30:03,981
(sighs)
767
00:30:09,954 --> 00:30:11,087
I'm gonna need to talk
to the nanny.
768
00:30:11,156 --> 00:30:12,055
She can fly the kids out
once a month
769
00:30:12,123 --> 00:30:13,357
Until school is out in d.C.
770
00:30:13,424 --> 00:30:14,758
I also need you
to call ahead and make sure
771
00:30:14,825 --> 00:30:17,127
Both the main house
and the beach cottage are ready.
772
00:30:17,195 --> 00:30:18,262
I'll be spending at least
some of the weekends
773
00:30:18,329 --> 00:30:19,296
At the cottage.
774
00:30:19,364 --> 00:30:22,398
Ma'am, you have a visitor.
775
00:30:22,466 --> 00:30:23,866
Thank you.
776
00:30:30,140 --> 00:30:31,374
He's talking about
resigning.
777
00:30:31,441 --> 00:30:33,442
(sighs) you must love that.
778
00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:35,344
This isn't about me.
779
00:30:35,412 --> 00:30:37,813
Really? Seems like
my whole marriage is about you.
780
00:30:37,881 --> 00:30:40,782
Mellie, he can't resign.
781
00:30:40,849 --> 00:30:43,518
I'm sure we can make
some kind of deal.
782
00:30:45,388 --> 00:30:47,255
(inhales deeply)
783
00:30:47,323 --> 00:30:50,225
I try to be pleasant.
I try to be...
784
00:30:52,295 --> 00:30:54,328
I'm the first lady.
There are sacrifices.
785
00:30:54,396 --> 00:30:58,065
There's a price,
and for a time, that was fine.
786
00:30:58,132 --> 00:30:59,933
You and I wanted
the same thing--
787
00:31:00,001 --> 00:31:01,368
Fitz in the oval.
788
00:31:01,436 --> 00:31:03,671
We were on the same team,
you and I,
789
00:31:03,738 --> 00:31:05,706
And everything was fine.
790
00:31:05,773 --> 00:31:08,242
I just don't understand
what happened.
791
00:31:08,310 --> 00:31:09,910
What happened?
792
00:31:09,977 --> 00:31:14,347
You let that girl
get into his pants!
793
00:31:14,415 --> 00:31:16,583
You left the team, liv!
794
00:31:16,650 --> 00:31:19,985
You fell down on the job!
You broke his heart,
795
00:31:20,053 --> 00:31:22,255
And you left him open
and vulnerable and helpless,
796
00:31:22,323 --> 00:31:24,224
And that is how
that snake billy chambers
797
00:31:24,291 --> 00:31:28,060
Got that shiny red amanda apple
right into fitz's hand.
798
00:31:28,128 --> 00:31:29,628
I do my job.
799
00:31:29,696 --> 00:31:32,732
I smile, and I push him,
800
00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:35,367
And I make sure he has
what he needs.
801
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:38,904
I do my job.
802
00:31:38,972 --> 00:31:42,108
Why couldn't you do yours?
803
00:31:46,879 --> 00:31:48,379
(chuckles)
804
00:31:52,051 --> 00:31:53,752
You want to deal?
805
00:31:53,819 --> 00:31:56,654
Fine. Let's deal.
806
00:32:02,493 --> 00:32:05,028
For starters,
807
00:32:05,096 --> 00:32:08,298
I'm gonna need
to take my husband back,
808
00:32:08,366 --> 00:32:13,137
Because clearly I have to do
everything myself from now on.
809
00:32:13,204 --> 00:32:15,805
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
810
00:32:15,873 --> 00:32:17,306
(indistinct conversations)
811
00:32:17,374 --> 00:32:19,776
(crunching)
812
00:32:19,843 --> 00:32:21,177
Ahem.
813
00:32:22,612 --> 00:32:24,914
(gulps, mouth full)
I'm going to new mexico.
814
00:32:24,982 --> 00:32:26,949
I am, I promise.
815
00:32:27,017 --> 00:32:28,251
It's just my car's in the shop.
It's getting a tune-up.
816
00:32:28,318 --> 00:32:29,618
You can't go just yet.
817
00:32:29,686 --> 00:32:31,253
I gave you the girl.
That was the deal.
818
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,620
That wasn't a deal.
I tortured it out of you,
819
00:32:32,688 --> 00:32:35,123
But thank you. Very helpful.
820
00:32:35,191 --> 00:32:36,391
The guy who hired you--
billy chambers--
821
00:32:36,458 --> 00:32:38,260
He's talking an awful lot.
822
00:32:38,327 --> 00:32:40,095
Right now it's just about
the white house,
823
00:32:40,163 --> 00:32:41,863
But at some point,
he may talk about you.
824
00:32:41,931 --> 00:32:44,232
He can talk all he wants. He--
he didn't hire me for that job.
825
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:45,967
You see, charlie,
you're honorable.
826
00:32:46,035 --> 00:32:47,334
You would never give up
billy,
827
00:32:47,402 --> 00:32:49,937
But billy may not be
as honorable.
828
00:32:50,005 --> 00:32:52,873
(sighs) why don't you do it?
829
00:32:52,941 --> 00:32:55,642
I can't. I gave my word.
830
00:32:57,112 --> 00:33:00,281
Oh, and we're gonna need
a suicide note,
831
00:33:00,348 --> 00:33:02,783
Something sad that says
he's a liar.
832
00:33:02,850 --> 00:33:04,083
And then you'll
leave me alone?
833
00:33:04,151 --> 00:33:05,251
(whispers) yeah.
834
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:06,719
(normal voice)
on a personal note,
835
00:33:06,787 --> 00:33:09,522
I think it would be a big boost
for your confidence.
836
00:33:09,589 --> 00:33:12,926
I can tell that's taken a bit
of a hit since I last saw you.
837
00:33:19,232 --> 00:33:21,499
I'm not saying anything
without my lawyer present.
838
00:33:21,567 --> 00:33:23,235
You need his permission
to eat?
839
00:33:23,303 --> 00:33:25,037
You must be hungry.
840
00:33:25,104 --> 00:33:28,040
(people speaking indistinctly)
841
00:33:28,107 --> 00:33:29,041
(whispers) hot.
842
00:33:29,108 --> 00:33:30,709
(sniffles)
843
00:33:30,776 --> 00:33:32,711
Turns out I don't even need
to question you anymore.
844
00:33:32,778 --> 00:33:35,779
Olivia told me everything--
amanda, billy chambers,
845
00:33:35,848 --> 00:33:37,248
The whole shebang.
846
00:33:37,316 --> 00:33:40,384
So... Why am I still here?
847
00:33:40,452 --> 00:33:43,387
Because there's one thing
she didn't tell me. Why?
848
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:44,755
Why?
849
00:33:44,823 --> 00:33:47,391
Why you called olivia
and not the police,
850
00:33:47,459 --> 00:33:49,560
Why her people would
clean up a crime scene
851
00:33:49,627 --> 00:33:51,228
They obviously want to be
investigated,
852
00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:53,196
Why everyone,
and I do mean everyone,
853
00:33:53,264 --> 00:33:55,498
Seems to be so invested
in making sure quinn perkins
854
00:33:55,566 --> 00:33:57,901
Has nothing to do
with any of this?
855
00:33:57,969 --> 00:34:00,237
I need to know
what's really going on,
856
00:34:00,304 --> 00:34:01,872
So you can tell me
what would happen
857
00:34:01,939 --> 00:34:03,840
If I sent you down
to booking,
858
00:34:03,908 --> 00:34:08,310
Or... (sighs) I can take
the prints from this fork,
859
00:34:08,378 --> 00:34:10,079
And we can just go ahead
and find out.
860
00:34:10,146 --> 00:34:12,114
It's your choice.
861
00:34:17,687 --> 00:34:19,821
I thought you left
for santa barbara.
862
00:34:19,890 --> 00:34:21,590
I was on my way,
but olivia convinced me
863
00:34:21,657 --> 00:34:23,291
I was needed here.
864
00:34:23,359 --> 00:34:24,692
We've come up
with what we feel is
865
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,195
A solid plan of counterattack
in the media.
866
00:34:27,263 --> 00:34:31,766
Oh, and we also figured out
who the woman on the tape is.
867
00:34:31,833 --> 00:34:33,868
Oh?
868
00:34:33,936 --> 00:34:36,204
It was me. At least,
that's what we'll tell "20/20"
869
00:34:36,272 --> 00:34:38,472
When they arrive
to interview us in about...
870
00:34:38,540 --> 00:34:39,807
What time did you set
that up for again, liv?
871
00:34:39,875 --> 00:34:41,842
5:30.
We have about an hour.
872
00:34:41,910 --> 00:34:44,779
Mm, and when I tell them
it was you and me on the tape,
873
00:34:44,846 --> 00:34:46,547
I will also share my outrage
874
00:34:46,615 --> 00:34:48,048
About the replaying
of our private moment
875
00:34:48,116 --> 00:34:50,350
In such a public, reckless,
and irresponsible manner
876
00:34:50,419 --> 00:34:53,120
By the gossip-hungry,
left-leaning, mainstream media
877
00:34:53,187 --> 00:34:55,188
And how upsetting
its been for our family,
878
00:34:55,256 --> 00:34:56,523
Especially at such
a fragile time,
879
00:34:56,590 --> 00:34:59,259
Given that I'm newly pregnant.
880
00:34:59,327 --> 00:35:02,829
Liv suggested we remain vague
on the exact timing.
881
00:35:02,897 --> 00:35:04,697
It's none of their business.
Plus, that gives us
882
00:35:04,765 --> 00:35:06,967
A few weeks' buffer
to actually get pregnant.
883
00:35:07,035 --> 00:35:09,202
We'll have to start trying
right away, of course.
884
00:35:09,270 --> 00:35:11,471
Of course.
885
00:35:11,539 --> 00:35:16,108
Uh... Well, olivia can fill
you in on the details.
886
00:35:16,176 --> 00:35:19,211
Like I always say,
if you've got a problem,
887
00:35:19,279 --> 00:35:21,013
Get olivia pope on it.
888
00:35:21,081 --> 00:35:23,782
(sighs and chuckles)
889
00:35:23,850 --> 00:35:25,351
You could look
a little happier, honey.
890
00:35:25,419 --> 00:35:27,286
We did just save
your presidency.
891
00:35:29,388 --> 00:35:33,024
Well... I'm off
to hair and makeup.
892
00:35:36,395 --> 00:35:38,263
This is insane.
We are not doing this.
893
00:35:38,331 --> 00:35:39,530
It's the only way.
894
00:35:39,598 --> 00:35:41,599
(lowered voice)
what are you thinking?
895
00:35:41,667 --> 00:35:44,169
Who are you right now?
896
00:35:46,237 --> 00:35:50,040
The woman who got
you elected,
897
00:35:50,108 --> 00:35:52,477
So go be the man
I voted for.
898
00:36:03,543 --> 00:36:05,044
{Pub}(indistinct conversations)
899
00:36:05,112 --> 00:36:06,212
You're all set, sir.
900
00:36:06,279 --> 00:36:07,513
Thanks.
901
00:36:09,683 --> 00:36:11,550
You can put this one
at the top of your resume.
902
00:36:11,618 --> 00:36:12,952
Truly a masterpiece.
903
00:36:13,020 --> 00:36:15,121
The one interview that
fixed it all.
904
00:36:15,189 --> 00:36:16,488
Not all of it is fixed.
905
00:36:16,556 --> 00:36:17,724
There's still
billy chambers' credibility,
906
00:36:17,791 --> 00:36:19,657
But this should take care
of that.
907
00:36:19,726 --> 00:36:21,259
It's cyrus-approved.
908
00:36:21,327 --> 00:36:23,061
We're ready for you,
mr. President.
909
00:36:23,129 --> 00:36:24,295
(chuckles)
910
00:36:24,363 --> 00:36:27,833
(indistinct conversations
continue)
911
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:30,802
Lean forward during
the denials of the affair,
912
00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:32,437
And keep your eyes on mellie
when she's talking.
913
00:36:32,504 --> 00:36:36,207
I know how to fake it
with my wife.
914
00:36:36,275 --> 00:36:37,975
You taught me well.
915
00:36:38,043 --> 00:36:40,778
(indistinct conversations
continue)
916
00:36:43,982 --> 00:36:47,452
(all speaking indistinctly)
917
00:36:50,422 --> 00:36:53,690
(mellie) I was outraged.
How could someone do that?
918
00:36:53,758 --> 00:36:56,025
Ms. Pope, you did it again.
919
00:36:56,093 --> 00:36:57,193
The president has
a great team.
920
00:36:57,262 --> 00:36:58,629
Nah. Don't give me that.
921
00:36:58,696 --> 00:37:01,197
Listen, I don't exactly know
what you do or how you do it,
922
00:37:01,266 --> 00:37:02,766
But when you walk
through these gates,
923
00:37:02,833 --> 00:37:04,368
Things start happening.
924
00:37:04,435 --> 00:37:05,835
The press starts falling
in line,
925
00:37:05,903 --> 00:37:08,170
The secret service
gets extra secret,
926
00:37:08,238 --> 00:37:10,439
And the problems--
they just kinda disappear,
927
00:37:10,507 --> 00:37:12,675
And when you go back out,
everyone's breathing
928
00:37:12,743 --> 00:37:15,611
A little bit easier.
(chuckles)
929
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:17,179
Good night, morris.
930
00:37:17,247 --> 00:37:18,080
(fitz) you see, this has been
very difficult for us,
931
00:37:18,148 --> 00:37:19,649
For the whole country.
932
00:37:19,716 --> 00:37:21,116
The best thing
for everyone would be
933
00:37:21,184 --> 00:37:24,319
If we can move past
this painful distraction
934
00:37:24,387 --> 00:37:26,821
And focus on the issues
that really matter,
935
00:37:26,889 --> 00:37:28,356
Don't you agree?
936
00:37:33,061 --> 00:37:35,129
I saw the interview.
937
00:37:35,197 --> 00:37:36,598
I thought that
you and the first lady
938
00:37:36,666 --> 00:37:39,900
Were very polished in the face
of all that, very poised.
939
00:37:39,967 --> 00:37:42,803
Thanks for coming, sally.
Have a seat.
940
00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:45,506
I thought she handled herself
beautifully.
941
00:37:45,573 --> 00:37:49,510
Difficult situation for her,
I'm sure, having to listen to...
942
00:37:49,577 --> 00:37:52,245
Well... (sighs)
I can't even imagine.
943
00:37:54,215 --> 00:37:55,948
May I speak candidly, sir?
944
00:37:56,016 --> 00:37:57,183
Why stop now?
945
00:37:57,250 --> 00:37:59,084
I don't think
it's gonna be enough.
946
00:37:59,152 --> 00:38:00,252
I think it's wonderful
the first lady
947
00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:01,688
Is standing by you,
but I don't think
948
00:38:01,755 --> 00:38:03,856
The american people are
gonna be so quick to follow
949
00:38:03,924 --> 00:38:05,458
In mellie's lead.
950
00:38:05,526 --> 00:38:07,493
And that's exactly why I need
you to show them the way, sally.
951
00:38:07,561 --> 00:38:08,795
Sir?
952
00:38:08,862 --> 00:38:10,797
I want you to hold
a press conference tomorrow.
953
00:38:10,864 --> 00:38:13,064
I want you to express
your shock and dismay
954
00:38:13,132 --> 00:38:14,800
Over the actions
of billy chambers.
955
00:38:14,867 --> 00:38:17,035
I want you to condemn
his allegations
956
00:38:17,102 --> 00:38:20,038
As baseless and false,
and I want you
957
00:38:20,105 --> 00:38:22,541
To tell the nation that
you support your president.
958
00:38:22,608 --> 00:38:25,243
Well, now I'm just afraid
that dog won't hunt.
959
00:38:25,311 --> 00:38:27,145
We need to think about
what's best for the country,
960
00:38:27,213 --> 00:38:29,246
About the stability
of our economy.
961
00:38:29,314 --> 00:38:32,516
We have a duty that goes beyond
our ideological differences.
962
00:38:32,584 --> 00:38:35,519
Focusing on my sex life
is bad for the nation,
963
00:38:35,587 --> 00:38:39,022
It's bad for the white house,
and it's bad for you.
964
00:38:39,090 --> 00:38:41,425
Our first female president
ought to be elected
965
00:38:41,493 --> 00:38:42,727
By the will of the people,
966
00:38:42,794 --> 00:38:44,961
Not by some ugly
backdoor political agenda.
967
00:38:45,028 --> 00:38:47,296
Mr. President, I have based
my whole career,
968
00:38:47,365 --> 00:38:50,667
My whole public life,
on my values,
969
00:38:50,735 --> 00:38:53,336
Strong, conservative,
christian values,
970
00:38:53,404 --> 00:38:54,904
And I know
that might seem naive
971
00:38:54,972 --> 00:38:56,239
To you
and your ivy league crowd.
972
00:38:56,306 --> 00:38:58,140
I know what you say about me
behind closed doors,
973
00:38:58,208 --> 00:38:59,641
But those are my beliefs.
974
00:38:59,709 --> 00:39:02,310
They are not accessories
I put on to win votes,
975
00:39:02,379 --> 00:39:03,912
So if you think you can
treat me
976
00:39:03,980 --> 00:39:06,382
Like some religious lunatic
sideshow act
977
00:39:06,449 --> 00:39:07,983
Who will drop
everything she believes
978
00:39:08,050 --> 00:39:12,254
For political expediency,
you have gravely misjudged me.
979
00:39:15,957 --> 00:39:18,359
You know what?
980
00:39:18,427 --> 00:39:20,127
I think I have.
981
00:39:26,668 --> 00:39:30,405
Now how old was your cassidy
last spring, 14, 13?
982
00:39:30,472 --> 00:39:33,507
They grow up so fast.
Anyway, we know she wasn't 18,
983
00:39:33,574 --> 00:39:35,642
Because georgia requires
parental notification
984
00:39:35,710 --> 00:39:38,412
For a minor
to obtain an abortion.
985
00:39:38,479 --> 00:39:39,846
That must have been awful,
986
00:39:39,914 --> 00:39:42,215
For you and dan to get
that call.
987
00:39:42,283 --> 00:39:45,351
It brings to mind
the gospel of john.
988
00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:47,153
Something about
he who is without sin
989
00:39:47,221 --> 00:39:49,922
Casting the first rock...
Or stone.
990
00:39:49,989 --> 00:39:52,190
I don't know. (chuckles)
991
00:39:52,258 --> 00:39:54,126
You know it better
than I do.
992
00:39:55,896 --> 00:39:58,163
Thanks, sally.
That will be all.
993
00:39:58,231 --> 00:40:00,232
(the isley brothers'
"it's your thing" playing)
994
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:01,434
(sally) it's sad, matt.
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
995
00:40:01,501 --> 00:40:02,902
You work with someone
for years,
996
00:40:02,969 --> 00:40:05,470
You think you know the kind
of man they are.
997
00:40:05,538 --> 00:40:07,972
Billy chambers is
just a huge disappointment.
998
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,040
(laughing)
999
00:40:09,107 --> 00:40:10,508
If I had any inkling that
1000
00:40:10,576 --> 00:40:12,777
The man that worked by my side
for all these years...
1001
00:40:12,845 --> 00:40:14,746
Well... (sighs)
god's honest truth,
1002
00:40:14,814 --> 00:40:16,714
I would have done
everything in my power
1003
00:40:16,782 --> 00:40:19,083
To send him away,
1004
00:40:19,151 --> 00:40:20,283
To send him away
from my house...
1005
00:40:20,351 --> 00:40:21,785
Where's all the press
today, george?
1006
00:40:21,853 --> 00:40:23,286
From my precious family.
Are they sleeping in?
1007
00:40:23,354 --> 00:40:25,722
I just think that the man is
sick in the head,
1008
00:40:25,790 --> 00:40:28,391
And I just pray that billy gets
the help that he needs,
1009
00:40:28,460 --> 00:40:31,662
Because these malicious lies
he's been spreading--
1010
00:40:31,729 --> 00:40:33,464
They're ridiculous.
1011
00:40:33,531 --> 00:40:35,631
Well, I just thank god
1012
00:40:35,699 --> 00:40:38,768
That we have a leader like
president grant
1013
00:40:38,836 --> 00:40:42,037
To take us through
this difficult and trying time.
1014
00:40:42,105 --> 00:40:45,842
I believe that this country was
founded on truth and justice
1015
00:40:45,909 --> 00:40:48,511
And plain old fairness.
1016
00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:51,246
♪ ah, it's your thing ♪
♪ it's your thing ♪
1017
00:40:51,314 --> 00:40:55,216
Oh, oh! Hold the elevator.
Oh. There you go.
1018
00:40:55,284 --> 00:40:56,384
What floor?
1019
00:40:56,452 --> 00:40:57,919
Oh, you first.
1020
00:40:57,987 --> 00:41:01,255
♪ oh, yeah! ♪
1021
00:41:01,323 --> 00:41:02,524
(door closes)
1022
00:41:02,592 --> 00:41:03,525
(projector
and camera shutter clicking)
1023
00:41:03,593 --> 00:41:05,694
Is there
a war going on, cy?
1024
00:41:05,761 --> 00:41:07,362
There's always a war
in the world, james.
1025
00:41:07,429 --> 00:41:08,596
You know that.
1026
00:41:08,663 --> 00:41:09,997
Fine, but you said
the latest one, the bad one,
1027
00:41:10,064 --> 00:41:11,999
The nuclear one,
the one that's taken you away
1028
00:41:12,066 --> 00:41:14,768
Every single weekend
for the past month, is over.
1029
00:41:14,836 --> 00:41:16,637
It is. It's finally over.
1030
00:41:16,705 --> 00:41:17,805
Then why is
your work colleague
1031
00:41:17,873 --> 00:41:20,841
At our front door
on Sunday morning?
1032
00:41:20,909 --> 00:41:23,477
(sighs)
I will send him back here.
1033
00:41:23,544 --> 00:41:24,844
I'll make it up to you.
I promise.
1034
00:41:24,912 --> 00:41:28,648
I want a baby,
a fat, drooling, smushy baby.
1035
00:41:28,716 --> 00:41:29,749
Let's start with dinner
and a movie.
1036
00:41:29,817 --> 00:41:32,952
A baby, cy. I mean it.
A fat one!
1037
00:41:33,020 --> 00:41:35,054
(sighs)
1038
00:41:38,191 --> 00:41:41,026
Sorry to bother you
on a Sunday.
1039
00:41:43,262 --> 00:41:47,533
Now, charlie, I thought
I was clear. You know the rules.
1040
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,035
I do. I know. I'm, uh,
you have been very clear,
1041
00:41:50,102 --> 00:41:51,537
And normally I wouldn't come
by the house like this.
1042
00:41:51,604 --> 00:41:54,239
It's just, uh, I have
to leave town,
1043
00:41:54,306 --> 00:41:55,873
So you're gonna need to wire
the rest of the money
1044
00:41:55,941 --> 00:41:58,042
For the girl... Amanda.
1045
00:41:58,109 --> 00:42:01,345
Fine.
You'll have it tomorrow.
1046
00:42:01,413 --> 00:42:03,047
Thanks.
1047
00:42:07,385 --> 00:42:10,021
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
1048
00:42:10,088 --> 00:42:12,455
I ran her prints.
Don't worry. I did it myself,
1049
00:42:12,523 --> 00:42:14,157
Which is a good thing,
because otherwise there would be
1050
00:42:14,224 --> 00:42:16,893
About half a dozen
u.S. Agencies looking for her.
1051
00:42:16,961 --> 00:42:19,295
I'm breaking the law
bringing her here.
1052
00:42:19,363 --> 00:42:21,998
I don't break the law, olivia.
1053
00:42:25,135 --> 00:42:27,170
(sighs)
1054
00:42:29,005 --> 00:42:32,007
Do you want to tell them
who you are, or should I?
1055
00:42:36,947 --> 00:42:38,213
(projector and camera shutter
clicking)
1056
00:42:38,281 --> 00:42:46,281
