1
00:00:01,149 --> 00:00:03,282
The President considers
these allegations
2
00:00:03,350 --> 00:00:06,151
to be a private matter between
himself and the First Lady.
3
00:00:06,152 --> 00:00:06,951
(Camera shutters clicking)
4
00:00:06,952 --> 00:00:08,552
He is grateful
for the continued support
5
00:00:08,619 --> 00:00:10,821
and respect of privacy
by the American people.
6
00:00:10,888 --> 00:00:12,756
Any questions?
7
00:00:12,824 --> 00:00:14,858
(Reporters shouting questions)
8
00:00:14,926 --> 00:00:16,293
- Cy?
- Eric?
9
00:00:16,361 --> 00:00:18,628
- Is it true?
- What it is is a private matter.
10
00:00:18,696 --> 00:00:19,930
But the First Lady made
it a public matter.
11
00:00:19,997 --> 00:00:21,397
I don't speak
for the First Lady.
12
00:00:21,465 --> 00:00:22,865
I speak for the President.
(Reporters shouting questions)
13
00:00:23,133 --> 00:00:25,535
So he's not even going to
answer the simple question?
14
00:00:25,602 --> 00:00:27,270
- The President did answer.
- What did he say when he heard this?
15
00:00:27,337 --> 00:00:28,837
He said that he considers
these allegations
16
00:00:28,905 --> 00:00:30,973
to be a private matter between
himself and the First Lady.
17
00:00:31,041 --> 00:00:32,808
- One at a...
- Cyrus...
18
00:00:32,876 --> 00:00:34,610
Have the President
and the First Lady spoken
19
00:00:34,678 --> 00:00:36,145
- since this revelation?
- It's not a revelation, James.
20
00:00:36,212 --> 00:00:37,512
It's an accusation.
(Reporters shouting questions)
21
00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:38,748
(French accent)
Well, have they spoken?
22
00:00:38,815 --> 00:00:39,716
Have they seen each other?
23
00:00:39,783 --> 00:00:41,483
The answer to that question
is covered by the statement.
24
00:00:41,484 --> 00:00:42,917
How... is it covered
by the statement?
25
00:00:42,985 --> 00:00:44,619
I'm not going to parse
the statement.
26
00:00:44,687 --> 00:00:46,254
Can you at least tell us
where the President is?
27
00:00:46,322 --> 00:00:48,790
- The President?
- Yes. Where is he?
28
00:00:48,857 --> 00:00:51,893
(Camera shutters clicking)
29
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Open the door.
Open the door!
30
00:00:53,828 --> 00:00:55,097
That is an order!
31
00:00:55,198 --> 00:00:56,963
Respectfully, sir, I
do not take orders...
32
00:00:56,964 --> 00:00:59,300
I do not care who you take
your orders from, Tom!
33
00:00:59,367 --> 00:01:00,967
I don't care
if you got your orders
34
00:01:01,035 --> 00:01:03,003
from Jesus Christ himself
as he hung on the cross.
35
00:01:03,071 --> 00:01:04,838
Jesus is not me!
36
00:01:04,906 --> 00:01:08,141
Jesus forgives.
Jesus saves. I destroy.
37
00:01:08,209 --> 00:01:10,710
And I will bring vengeance
down upon you
38
00:01:10,777 --> 00:01:12,645
in a hail of fire
and brimstone.
39
00:01:12,713 --> 00:01:15,348
You will open
that door now!
40
00:01:15,416 --> 00:01:17,383
Or I will call in every favor I have,
41
00:01:17,451 --> 00:01:19,219
making sure you spend
the rest of your career
42
00:01:19,286 --> 00:01:22,088
guarding baby Teddy
at the playground!
43
00:01:22,155 --> 00:01:25,557
(Breathes deeply)
44
00:01:25,625 --> 00:01:28,727
I need a reason
to open that door, sir.
45
00:01:28,794 --> 00:01:30,161
A credible threat.
46
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:32,797
He's having a heart attack.
He just texted me!
47
00:01:32,865 --> 00:01:35,567
(Kissing)
48
00:01:38,771 --> 00:01:40,438
(Moans)
49
00:01:44,676 --> 00:01:45,643
Get up!
50
00:01:49,013 --> 00:01:50,182
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
51
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:53,284
Scandal s02e21
Any Questions?
52
00:01:53,552 --> 00:01:55,720
Of course he cheated on her.
He's a cheater.
53
00:01:55,787 --> 00:01:58,321
He cheated on the election,
then he cheated on his wife.
54
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:59,989
(Cyrus) - Eric?
- Not that I'm still angry about that.
55
00:02:00,057 --> 00:02:02,158
I made my choice.
I'm part of the team now.
56
00:02:02,226 --> 00:02:04,594
"Go, gladiators."
But the irony...
57
00:02:04,662 --> 00:02:07,764
The sheer irony that a man
who stole the White House
58
00:02:07,831 --> 00:02:09,532
is gonna be thrown out
of office for this.
59
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,434
- Adultery isn't illegal.
- No.
60
00:02:11,502 --> 00:02:14,035
But if Grant got this woman
a job to keep her quiet...
61
00:02:14,103 --> 00:02:16,438
If she influenced policy
the teeniest, tiniest bit,
62
00:02:16,506 --> 00:02:19,841
that's it, game over.
Adios, Presidente!
63
00:02:19,909 --> 00:02:22,010
And that's just Grant.
This woman?
64
00:02:22,078 --> 00:02:23,479
The one he's having
an affair with?
65
00:02:23,546 --> 00:02:25,114
They haven't released her name
yet, but you know it's coming,
66
00:02:25,582 --> 00:02:27,283
and when it does...
67
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:29,950
Let's just say I hope she has
Olivia Pope on her team.
68
00:02:32,087 --> 00:02:33,788
I'll put my ear to the ground,
find out what I can
69
00:02:33,855 --> 00:02:36,424
about how the public
is taking all this,
70
00:02:36,492 --> 00:02:38,626
how it's being messaged
by the news anchors and pundits,
71
00:02:38,694 --> 00:02:40,194
and I'll get some intel
on Mellie
72
00:02:40,262 --> 00:02:41,929
and what her next move
is going to be.
73
00:02:41,997 --> 00:02:43,898
- And then Cyrus and I ca...
- No.
74
00:02:43,965 --> 00:02:46,933
Fitz!
No! You don't do anything.
75
00:02:47,001 --> 00:02:49,035
This is my problem.
76
00:02:49,103 --> 00:02:51,204
I made a decision,
77
00:02:51,272 --> 00:02:53,440
and I'm going to deal with it.
78
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:57,877
- What?
- What?
79
00:02:57,945 --> 00:03:00,246
- You have a look on your face.
- 'Cause you are wrong.
80
00:03:00,314 --> 00:03:02,114
- I am not wrong.
- I am very good at what I do.
81
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:03,783
I am better at it
than anybody else.
82
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:05,250
That's not arrogance,
that's fact.
83
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:06,752
And I am definitely
better at it
84
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:08,287
than you and your boys
at the White House.
85
00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:09,622
You need me if you're
going to survive this.
86
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:11,657
Maybe.
87
00:03:11,725 --> 00:03:13,626
But you are not fixing
88
00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:15,494
or handling me anymore, Livvie.
89
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:17,762
And if we are
gonna survive this,
90
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:19,997
if you and I are gonna
make it together,
91
00:03:20,065 --> 00:03:21,933
you have to stand down.
92
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
But...
93
00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:25,069
Stand down.
94
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:29,741
And wait for me to do this
on my own.
95
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:33,711
You are not in charge
of everything.
96
00:03:43,722 --> 00:03:44,788
Fine.
97
00:03:52,363 --> 00:03:54,364
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
98
00:03:56,967 --> 00:03:58,768
(Olivia sighs) There you are.
Everything okay?
99
00:03:58,836 --> 00:04:01,471
Did you hear?
The President banged someone.
100
00:04:01,538 --> 00:04:03,606
- Where are we with Charlie?
- He's still on the wind.
101
00:04:03,674 --> 00:04:05,306
But that book club girl
he was dating?
102
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,876
It wasn't her literary mind
he was attracted to.
103
00:04:07,943 --> 00:04:09,811
It was her laptop.
Turns out she was the stenographer
104
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:11,713
at David's grand jury hearing,
the one about Defiance.
105
00:04:11,781 --> 00:04:14,148
That's why he targeted her...
to find out what happened in there.
106
00:04:14,216 --> 00:04:15,350
And since Cyrus already knew
about Defiance,
107
00:04:15,418 --> 00:04:16,285
and not just knew about it,
108
00:04:16,352 --> 00:04:18,353
- but was at the very center of it...
- It can't be him.
109
00:04:18,421 --> 00:04:19,755
That's the good news.
The bad news is,
110
00:04:19,822 --> 00:04:22,823
whoever the mole is,
he knows about election rigging.
111
00:04:27,696 --> 00:04:28,696
(Mouths word)
112
00:04:30,899 --> 00:04:32,433
(Pants)
113
00:04:34,202 --> 00:04:37,437
(Olivia exhales deeply)
(Beeping)
114
00:04:39,607 --> 00:04:41,408
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
115
00:04:41,475 --> 00:04:43,042
(Sighs)
116
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:44,677
The Cytron card.
117
00:04:50,384 --> 00:04:53,319
(Beeping)
Okay, so I did steal it.
118
00:04:53,387 --> 00:04:54,987
Like I said, I made my choice.
(Safe door closes)
119
00:04:55,055 --> 00:04:57,157
Part of the team now.
120
00:04:58,425 --> 00:04:59,892
(Projector and camera shutter clicking)
I was surprised to be called.
121
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,761
I-I know Olivia Pope usually
handles your needs.
122
00:05:02,829 --> 00:05:04,496
Olivia Pope handles my husband.
123
00:05:04,564 --> 00:05:06,432
I have needs of my own
these days.
124
00:05:06,499 --> 00:05:09,834
So... I assume all you fixers
work the same, or...
125
00:05:09,902 --> 00:05:11,669
I have one rule.
No lies.
126
00:05:11,737 --> 00:05:14,940
I am your priest, your shrink,
your hairdresser,
127
00:05:15,007 --> 00:05:16,507
your bedfellow,
your best friend.
128
00:05:16,575 --> 00:05:19,710
I am very good. All I require
is complete and total honesty.
129
00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:21,712
Can you do that?
Can you be honest?
130
00:05:23,482 --> 00:05:26,116
(Chuckles)
131
00:05:26,184 --> 00:05:28,018
I am the First Lady
of the most powerful nation
132
00:05:28,086 --> 00:05:29,453
on the planet.
133
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,088
I didn't get here because
someone like you
134
00:05:31,156 --> 00:05:32,856
held my hand and called
themselves my hairdresser.
135
00:05:32,924 --> 00:05:34,458
My hair is done.
136
00:05:34,525 --> 00:05:36,260
So don't ask me
if I can be honest,
137
00:05:36,328 --> 00:05:38,462
like I'm some little girl
confused by all the books
138
00:05:38,529 --> 00:05:40,064
and smart talk.
139
00:05:40,131 --> 00:05:41,297
I can be honest.
140
00:05:41,365 --> 00:05:43,099
I can also lie.
141
00:05:43,167 --> 00:05:45,868
It all depends on what's
in my best interests.
142
00:05:45,936 --> 00:05:48,637
I have a very busy day.
So someone will see you out.
143
00:05:48,705 --> 00:05:51,441
- I've always admired your act.
- (Sighs)
144
00:05:51,508 --> 00:05:53,042
The sweetness.
145
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:55,578
The hint of Southern gentility.
146
00:05:55,645 --> 00:05:58,213
The law degree you never use
but mention all the time.
147
00:05:58,281 --> 00:06:00,349
She's smart
but not threatening.
148
00:06:02,618 --> 00:06:04,453
When you cried about
that miscarriage?
149
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,456
Brilliant.
Flawless.
150
00:06:07,523 --> 00:06:09,524
(Chuckles)
151
00:06:09,592 --> 00:06:12,194
And now you carry
that adorable baby
152
00:06:12,261 --> 00:06:14,561
on your hip
in every single photograph.
153
00:06:16,865 --> 00:06:18,899
That is so well done.
154
00:06:18,967 --> 00:06:20,567
You play it well...
155
00:06:20,635 --> 00:06:22,436
The good political wife
with the perfect marriage
156
00:06:22,504 --> 00:06:23,837
to the perfect man.
157
00:06:23,905 --> 00:06:25,406
You had it.
158
00:06:25,474 --> 00:06:27,574
But then you went
on national TV
159
00:06:27,642 --> 00:06:29,175
and told the world your husband
160
00:06:29,243 --> 00:06:31,244
dropped his pants
for someone else.
161
00:06:31,312 --> 00:06:32,612
Why?
162
00:06:32,679 --> 00:06:34,680
And another question...
163
00:06:34,748 --> 00:06:37,417
You could have named the whore
your husband was sleeping with,
164
00:06:37,485 --> 00:06:39,419
but you didn't.
Why is that?
165
00:06:43,891 --> 00:06:45,657
(Woman) Clinton rules...
"It's not true,
166
00:06:45,725 --> 00:06:47,626
it's not true, it's not true."
It's old news.
167
00:06:47,693 --> 00:06:50,095
We're admitting the affair.
That's where we start.
168
00:06:50,163 --> 00:06:51,596
The President says he's
working on his marriage.
169
00:06:51,664 --> 00:06:53,565
No one wants to think of the
leader of the free world
170
00:06:53,633 --> 00:06:56,135
- as going to couples therapy.
- He's praying with his pastor.
171
00:06:56,202 --> 00:06:57,569
Yeah, even better.
His pastor died.
172
00:06:57,637 --> 00:06:59,304
- And ever since...
- He lost his way.
173
00:06:59,372 --> 00:07:00,972
- Assassination attempt.
- Post-traumatic thing.
174
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,973
- The death of Britta Kagen.
- And Verna Thornton.
175
00:07:03,042 --> 00:07:03,643
I'd like the room.
176
00:07:03,644 --> 00:07:05,510
Not just a supreme
court justice, but...
177
00:07:05,511 --> 00:07:07,045
- But a close friend, like family.
- Really.
178
00:07:07,046 --> 00:07:07,512
(Cyrus) These are excuses.
179
00:07:07,513 --> 00:07:09,580
- I want explanations!
- The room!
180
00:07:11,650 --> 00:07:13,084
- Mr. President.
- Mr. President.
181
00:07:17,588 --> 00:07:20,690
I better not be about
to hear how you're not
182
00:07:20,758 --> 00:07:23,960
giving a statement, because,
oh, hell, yes, you are!
183
00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:27,229
- You are addressing this, sir.
- I'll be making a statement tonight.
184
00:07:27,297 --> 00:07:29,731
- Good! - Where I'll be telling
the American people
185
00:07:29,799 --> 00:07:31,833
I won't be seeking
a second term.
186
00:07:41,646 --> 00:07:43,412
(Reporters shouting questions)
187
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,914
What are some of the options the
President is considering?
188
00:07:44,982 --> 00:07:46,650
Whatever options
the President is
189
00:07:46,717 --> 00:07:48,518
or isn't considering
are private.
190
00:07:48,585 --> 00:07:49,586
(Reporters shouting questions)
191
00:07:49,654 --> 00:07:51,488
Is he considering not
seeking a second term,
192
00:07:51,556 --> 00:07:52,989
spending time with his family?
193
00:07:53,058 --> 00:07:55,525
Whatever options the President
is or isn't considering
194
00:07:55,592 --> 00:07:56,593
in this matter are private.
195
00:07:56,660 --> 00:07:58,660
Do you think he owes the American
people a response, an explanation?
196
00:07:58,661 --> 00:07:59,828
Again, I refer you
to the statement.
197
00:07:59,896 --> 00:08:02,798
(Reporters shouting questions)
198
00:08:02,866 --> 00:08:04,967
(Inhales deeply) Look...
199
00:08:05,035 --> 00:08:07,136
I get this.
200
00:08:07,204 --> 00:08:09,539
You have feelings for Olivia.
She's a heck of a gal.
201
00:08:09,606 --> 00:08:11,106
You want to continue
the affair.
202
00:08:11,174 --> 00:08:12,774
Fine.
Peachy.
203
00:08:12,841 --> 00:08:14,776
So you go to Mellie and you
promise whatever it takes
204
00:08:14,843 --> 00:08:16,411
to put things back together.
205
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:18,480
Then you can go right on
sleeping with Olivia.
206
00:08:18,548 --> 00:08:20,115
That's your business.
And if you need me
207
00:08:20,183 --> 00:08:21,950
to facilitate, to lie,
to cover for you,
208
00:08:22,017 --> 00:08:23,785
sneak her into the motorcade,
209
00:08:23,852 --> 00:08:25,954
wipe her lipstick
off your collar for you,
210
00:08:26,021 --> 00:08:27,654
I will.
211
00:08:27,722 --> 00:08:31,192
But you're not giving up
your place in history.
212
00:08:31,259 --> 00:08:33,494
You're not giving up
this office.
213
00:08:33,562 --> 00:08:37,231
We will figure this out.
214
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:38,765
(Breathes sharply)
215
00:08:38,833 --> 00:08:40,601
It's not too late
to save your presidency.
216
00:08:40,668 --> 00:08:41,969
Look at Clinton.
217
00:08:42,036 --> 00:08:44,003
Clinton wasn't in love
with Monica Lewinsky.
218
00:08:44,071 --> 00:08:46,906
I am in love with a woman
who is not my wife.
219
00:08:46,974 --> 00:08:50,243
I want to be with her.
Not in the shadows. Openly.
220
00:08:50,311 --> 00:08:52,378
And if that means I have to
stop being President,
221
00:08:52,446 --> 00:08:53,580
so be it.
222
00:08:55,349 --> 00:08:56,949
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
223
00:08:57,017 --> 00:08:59,318
- This is what I found in...
- Didn't I see you last night?
224
00:08:59,385 --> 00:09:00,952
Yes. Why?
225
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:02,687
So you knew last night
and you didn't tell me.
226
00:09:02,755 --> 00:09:05,424
- Tell you what, sir?
- Your mission was clear.
227
00:09:05,492 --> 00:09:07,493
- Get between the President
and Ms. Pope. - Yes, sir.
228
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:09,161
Not only did you fail
in your mission,
229
00:09:09,229 --> 00:09:10,962
but you failed to report to me
that the President
230
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:12,965
was spending the night
with her... the same night...
231
00:09:13,033 --> 00:09:17,101
- Sir, I can explain...
- You do not interrupt me ever.
232
00:09:21,072 --> 00:09:24,108
Now what's this photo about?
233
00:09:24,176 --> 00:09:26,277
This is the man who's on to me.
234
00:09:26,345 --> 00:09:27,711
He knows about my relationship
with Ms. Pope.
235
00:09:27,779 --> 00:09:29,147
He's working with Cyrus Beene.
236
00:09:29,214 --> 00:09:30,580
Is there proof of your
relationship with Ms. Pope?
237
00:09:30,648 --> 00:09:31,748
Recorded proof?
Yes, sir.
238
00:09:31,815 --> 00:09:33,150
Bring it to me.
239
00:09:33,217 --> 00:09:35,285
And what about him?
Find him. Bring him in.
240
00:09:35,353 --> 00:09:38,188
- And Cyrus Beene?
- I'll handle Cyrus Beene.
241
00:09:38,256 --> 00:09:40,490
Just bring me the tape.
242
00:09:44,995 --> 00:09:46,328
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
243
00:09:46,396 --> 00:09:48,164
Oh, Cyrus.
I am truly amazed
244
00:09:48,231 --> 00:09:50,599
at how you are handling
this difficult situation
245
00:09:50,667 --> 00:09:52,701
with such grace and class.
246
00:09:52,769 --> 00:09:55,504
I just cannot believe,
after everything
247
00:09:55,572 --> 00:09:57,072
the President has survived...
248
00:09:57,140 --> 00:09:59,041
That sad little bout
with Amanda Tanner
249
00:09:59,108 --> 00:10:01,510
and Billy Chambers,
an assassination attempt?
250
00:10:01,578 --> 00:10:03,978
Who would have thought
it would be his own wife
251
00:10:04,046 --> 00:10:05,680
who finally brings him down?
252
00:10:05,747 --> 00:10:07,848
- Well, you know what the Bible says.
- No, I don't.
253
00:10:07,916 --> 00:10:09,884
"Hell hath no fury
like a woman scorned."
254
00:10:09,951 --> 00:10:11,352
That's not from the Bible.
255
00:10:11,420 --> 00:10:13,521
Not everything is from
the Bible, Sally.
256
00:10:13,589 --> 00:10:14,589
(Cyrus sighs)
257
00:10:14,657 --> 00:10:16,023
It has to be Sally Langston.
258
00:10:16,091 --> 00:10:17,392
She and the Secretary
of Defense
259
00:10:17,459 --> 00:10:18,958
are the only two people
we haven't ruled out
260
00:10:19,026 --> 00:10:20,760
who had access to the files
on Wendy's flash drive.
261
00:10:20,828 --> 00:10:22,329
And since the Secretary
of Defense
262
00:10:22,397 --> 00:10:24,231
was C.E.O. of Bromstead
when the leaks first started...
263
00:10:24,298 --> 00:10:24,998
It doesn't make sense.
264
00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:27,701
She was on that ticket, too.
If congress impeaches Grant...
265
00:10:27,768 --> 00:10:29,269
Sally gets thrown out
with the bathwater.
266
00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:30,671
Besides, we don't have
enough evidence
267
00:10:30,738 --> 00:10:32,272
to accuse the Vice President
of treason.
268
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:34,040
You said Charlie's in the wind.
269
00:10:34,108 --> 00:10:36,108
- What are the chances we find him?
- Impossible.
270
00:10:36,176 --> 00:10:40,045
- Which leaves us with...
- Sally Langston. Let's get into it.
271
00:10:43,717 --> 00:10:45,017
(Door closes) What do you...
272
00:10:45,085 --> 00:10:47,753
- What's the endgame?
- My endgame?
273
00:10:47,821 --> 00:10:49,021
The First Lady just
put you on notice.
274
00:10:49,089 --> 00:10:50,922
We don't have a lot of time.
275
00:10:50,989 --> 00:10:52,790
- This needs to be dealt with.
- No, it doesn't.
276
00:10:52,858 --> 00:10:54,025
(Typing) Let it be.
277
00:10:54,093 --> 00:10:55,560
Right now, at this very moment,
278
00:10:55,628 --> 00:10:57,429
you are standing in the eye
of the hurricane, and
279
00:10:57,496 --> 00:10:59,264
- you're gonna sit here and pretend?
- I'm not pretending.
280
00:10:59,332 --> 00:11:01,433
You think that White House
is gonna protect you? Hmm?
281
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:03,702
- Is that it? - I can protect myself,
thank you very much.
282
00:11:03,769 --> 00:11:06,237
You're not the fixer here, Liv.
You're the problem.
283
00:11:06,304 --> 00:11:09,005
You're the client.
You're my client.
284
00:11:09,073 --> 00:11:11,041
(Chuckles) Like it or not.
285
00:11:11,109 --> 00:11:12,743
So I'm not asking you
for the truth.
286
00:11:12,810 --> 00:11:15,045
I know the truth.
287
00:11:15,113 --> 00:11:17,414
I know enough.
288
00:11:17,482 --> 00:11:19,316
At any minute, any second now,
289
00:11:19,384 --> 00:11:20,884
so will the rest
of planet earth.
290
00:11:20,952 --> 00:11:25,020
So what I'm asking you is,
what is your endgame?
291
00:11:25,088 --> 00:11:26,922
'Cause the eye will pass
and the winds will kick up,
292
00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:30,092
and you... you are not
tethered to anything.
293
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,594
But I'm here.
294
00:11:31,662 --> 00:11:33,329
And I will be your anchor.
295
00:11:33,397 --> 00:11:34,997
And I'm the only one that
can see you through this.
296
00:11:35,065 --> 00:11:36,766
We'll fight to the end.
297
00:11:36,833 --> 00:11:38,933
So snap out of it!
298
00:11:39,001 --> 00:11:41,102
Huh?
299
00:11:41,170 --> 00:11:43,305
Tell it to me straight.
300
00:11:43,373 --> 00:11:46,608
What do you want?
301
00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:56,183
We need to prove
whether Sally's the mole.
302
00:11:57,919 --> 00:11:59,887
Get on it.
303
00:12:06,762 --> 00:12:08,763
(Door opens)
304
00:12:08,830 --> 00:12:10,997
(Door slams)
305
00:12:19,247 --> 00:12:20,248
(Reporters shouting questions)
306
00:12:20,314 --> 00:12:21,014
Yeah.
307
00:12:21,015 --> 00:12:23,150
Why not simply deny
the accusation?
308
00:12:23,217 --> 00:12:25,252
The President considers this
a private matter.
309
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,920
If the President addressed
every question
310
00:12:26,988 --> 00:12:28,888
about his personal life, we may
as well turn the Oval Office
311
00:12:28,956 --> 00:12:30,522
into a daytime talk show set.
312
00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:32,658
The First Lady stated
very publicly
313
00:12:32,725 --> 00:12:34,860
- that her husband is having an affair.
- And the President has responded.
314
00:12:34,928 --> 00:12:36,728
- He didn't.
- He did. I'll read it again.
315
00:12:36,796 --> 00:12:38,597
- It's legalese! - "The President
considers these allegations..."
316
00:12:38,665 --> 00:12:40,532
- That's a dodge, Cyrus.
- Moving on.
317
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,469
- I was doing my job!
- You were trying to screw me!
318
00:12:43,536 --> 00:12:45,303
What was I supposed to do
when I was handed
319
00:12:45,371 --> 00:12:47,439
my very first assignment
as an on-air reporter?!
320
00:12:47,506 --> 00:12:49,174
Say, "thanks, but no, thanks"?
321
00:12:49,241 --> 00:12:50,976
This fell into my lap!
322
00:12:51,043 --> 00:12:53,011
I had no idea
what Mellie was gonna say!
323
00:12:53,079 --> 00:12:54,545
Should I have stood up
and walked out of the room
324
00:12:54,613 --> 00:12:57,315
when she started talking
on live national television?!
325
00:12:57,383 --> 00:12:58,984
Tell me what
I should have done!
326
00:12:59,051 --> 00:13:01,551
You should not
have tried to screw me!
327
00:13:01,619 --> 00:13:03,587
How many stories of the century
do you want me to give up, huh?
328
00:13:03,654 --> 00:13:05,555
Because I seem to remember
doing that not too long ago.
329
00:13:05,623 --> 00:13:07,891
Don't you dare
mention that in here.
330
00:13:07,959 --> 00:13:09,626
When your boss asks you
to sit down
331
00:13:09,694 --> 00:13:11,595
with the First Lady
of the United States,
332
00:13:11,662 --> 00:13:13,263
you don't say no!
333
00:13:13,331 --> 00:13:16,566
This was my lucky break.
My shot!
334
00:13:16,634 --> 00:13:18,234
You got one when Fitz
ran for governor,
335
00:13:18,302 --> 00:13:21,269
and you took it.
I did the same thing.
336
00:13:25,409 --> 00:13:29,278
(Laughing)
337
00:13:29,346 --> 00:13:33,081
(Continues laughing, loudly)
338
00:13:33,149 --> 00:13:34,582
(Sighs)
339
00:13:34,650 --> 00:13:37,752
You think... you...
(Laughing)
340
00:13:37,820 --> 00:13:41,490
You think this was
your lucky break!
341
00:13:41,557 --> 00:13:45,160
(Continues laughing)
342
00:13:45,228 --> 00:13:47,795
Isn't that adorable?
343
00:13:47,863 --> 00:13:50,064
That's what you're
telling yourself?
344
00:13:50,132 --> 00:13:51,532
And I'm genuinely asking,
345
00:13:51,599 --> 00:13:55,169
because I never thought
of you as naive.
346
00:13:55,237 --> 00:13:58,005
Which is both surprising
and unsettling,
347
00:13:58,073 --> 00:14:00,007
because that's certainly
not a trait
348
00:14:00,075 --> 00:14:02,309
any respectable journalist
would want to possess.
349
00:14:02,377 --> 00:14:04,078
And that's what you call
yourself, right?
350
00:14:04,146 --> 00:14:06,112
A respectable journalist.
351
00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:07,813
So now... now...
352
00:14:07,881 --> 00:14:10,283
I'm starting to think of you
as just plain stupid!
353
00:14:10,351 --> 00:14:11,918
Are you stupid, James?
354
00:14:11,985 --> 00:14:14,720
- You insulting, condescending...
- It was Mellie, you...
355
00:14:14,788 --> 00:14:16,322
(Groans)
356
00:14:16,390 --> 00:14:19,392
Mellie got you the job!
357
00:14:19,460 --> 00:14:21,560
BNC would never have
called you
358
00:14:21,627 --> 00:14:24,063
if she didn't make it happen!
359
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:26,065
The First Lady wanted you for
that interview... (Sighs)
360
00:14:26,132 --> 00:14:27,566
So she could hit
both me and Fitz
361
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:29,068
at the same time.
362
00:14:29,135 --> 00:14:30,569
It wasn't a lucky break.
It was a chess move,
363
00:14:30,636 --> 00:14:35,874
and you're too...
stupid to see it!
364
00:14:35,942 --> 00:14:39,210
Are you saying I'm not
good enough?!
365
00:14:39,278 --> 00:14:41,745
I'm saying you have
no business in this job.
366
00:14:41,813 --> 00:14:44,549
Come on!
James novak?!
367
00:14:44,616 --> 00:14:45,849
I mean, of all the other
368
00:14:45,917 --> 00:14:47,017
professional
television journalists,
369
00:14:47,086 --> 00:14:48,219
the ones with actual
experience,
370
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:49,987
peabodys and Pulitzers,
371
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:51,422
those that aren't
approaching 50
372
00:14:51,490 --> 00:14:53,256
or the least bit doughy
on camera,
373
00:14:53,324 --> 00:14:54,657
you want to stand there
and tell me
374
00:14:54,725 --> 00:14:56,293
Mellie chose James Novak?
375
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,027
Forget about Anderson Cooper...
376
00:14:58,096 --> 00:15:00,197
Who's a frigging Vanderbilt,
by the way...
377
00:15:00,264 --> 00:15:01,864
Or even Brian Williams,
Diane Sawyer.
378
00:15:01,932 --> 00:15:03,666
Maybe they were all busy.
379
00:15:03,734 --> 00:15:06,002
So let's go with James Novak!
380
00:15:06,070 --> 00:15:07,370
He's the guy
America wants to see.
381
00:15:07,438 --> 00:15:09,138
He's got a face for TV.
382
00:15:09,206 --> 00:15:11,006
Your lucky break?!
383
00:15:11,074 --> 00:15:12,441
You...
384
00:15:12,509 --> 00:15:14,810
have no business in this job.
385
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:21,683
(Stifled sobbing)
(Door opens and closes)
386
00:15:21,751 --> 00:15:24,386
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
387
00:15:24,454 --> 00:15:26,621
Where are we
with Sally Langston?
388
00:15:26,688 --> 00:15:28,689
Still working on it.
Harrison's making phone calls.
389
00:15:28,757 --> 00:15:30,425
If we had her password,
we could get onto
390
00:15:30,493 --> 00:15:32,127
the White House's network,
see if she accessed
391
00:15:32,194 --> 00:15:34,729
the same classified files that
were on the mole's flash drive.
392
00:15:34,796 --> 00:15:36,931
- Can you hack your way in?
- There are thousands of safeguards.
393
00:15:36,999 --> 00:15:39,167
- It would take weeks, maybe months.
- And there's no other way?
394
00:15:39,235 --> 00:15:41,468
(Sighs)
395
00:15:41,536 --> 00:15:43,770
We could send Sally
a trojan horse.
396
00:15:43,838 --> 00:15:45,339
Hmm.
397
00:15:45,406 --> 00:15:46,640
An e-mail infected with a worm
that could bore into
398
00:15:46,707 --> 00:15:48,475
the White House network
from the inside.
399
00:15:48,543 --> 00:15:49,909
We could make it record
her keystrokes,
400
00:15:49,977 --> 00:15:51,512
- tell us her passwords.
- Baby Huck.
401
00:15:51,579 --> 00:15:52,912
The Vice President would never
be stupid enough
402
00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:54,248
to open an infected e-mail.
403
00:15:54,315 --> 00:15:57,183
Maybe not, but her teenage
daughter might.
404
00:15:57,251 --> 00:15:59,118
We use Cassidy's e-mail
to break into
405
00:15:59,186 --> 00:16:00,986
the Langstons' home
network, then use that
406
00:16:01,054 --> 00:16:02,955
to springboard into the White House.
(Chuckles)
407
00:16:03,023 --> 00:16:04,990
Cassidy Langston, 16 years old.
408
00:16:05,058 --> 00:16:06,959
Loves horses, hates poseurs,
and will only date
409
00:16:07,027 --> 00:16:09,094
cute boys with blonde hair
and great abs
410
00:16:09,163 --> 00:16:10,630
who are at least 6 feet tall
411
00:16:10,697 --> 00:16:13,198
and play either lacrosse
or water polo.
412
00:16:13,266 --> 00:16:14,766
We could send an e-mail
saying she won
413
00:16:14,833 --> 00:16:17,101
a date with Justin Bieber.
Or some Olympic water polo dude.
414
00:16:17,170 --> 00:16:20,372
(Snorts) Lame.
And really lame.
415
00:16:20,439 --> 00:16:22,106
- Excuse me? - I spent the
last ten months of my life
416
00:16:22,175 --> 00:16:24,576
in a classroom full of kids
Cassidy's age,
417
00:16:24,644 --> 00:16:26,645
studying them,
learning their ways.
418
00:16:26,712 --> 00:16:29,746
They are pack animals, hell-bent
on social domination.
419
00:16:29,814 --> 00:16:31,815
And the only thing a
mean girl really wants
420
00:16:31,883 --> 00:16:34,385
is to rip out the jugular
of an even meaner girl.
421
00:16:34,452 --> 00:16:36,320
Get me the student directory.
422
00:16:36,388 --> 00:16:39,557
(Typing)
423
00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:42,259
(David) Mnh-mnh.
That one.
424
00:16:42,327 --> 00:16:44,495
(Quinn) Brooke Sullivan,
class of 2014.
425
00:16:44,563 --> 00:16:46,396
- She's the queen. - So we need
to find something on Brooke
426
00:16:46,463 --> 00:16:48,097
- that Cassidy would want.
- Got it.
427
00:16:48,165 --> 00:16:50,500
Oh!
Nose job, before and after.
428
00:16:50,568 --> 00:16:52,001
Happened right before
she moved to D.C.
429
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:54,304
- So none of her classmates know?
- Yet.
430
00:16:54,371 --> 00:16:55,805
(Huck) Got the e-mail.
(Taps key)
431
00:16:55,872 --> 00:16:57,973
- Sent.
- Now we wait.
432
00:16:58,041 --> 00:16:59,475
(Chimes) No, we don't.
433
00:16:59,543 --> 00:17:00,976
(Snaps fingers) She clicked it.
434
00:17:01,044 --> 00:17:03,011
(Abby) - Already?
- We're in.
435
00:17:03,079 --> 00:17:05,880
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
436
00:17:12,154 --> 00:17:14,690
This park, it used to be
a graveyard.
437
00:17:14,757 --> 00:17:16,458
(Laughs)
438
00:17:16,526 --> 00:17:19,059
And I was just about to ask
how you were holding up.
439
00:17:19,127 --> 00:17:22,430
- You can't do this to me.
- (Laughs) Let's be clear.
440
00:17:22,497 --> 00:17:24,732
I am not the President.
I am not doing anything.
441
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:26,667
Whatever it is you said to him
442
00:17:26,735 --> 00:17:28,603
to make him do this,
you need to take it back.
443
00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:30,137
This was his choice.
444
00:17:30,205 --> 00:17:31,805
He made a choice.
He decided.
445
00:17:31,873 --> 00:17:33,906
If he walks away, if he
doesn't run for re-election,
446
00:17:33,974 --> 00:17:36,643
that is a blow the republican
party will not recover from,
447
00:17:36,711 --> 00:17:38,378
not for years,
and if it does recover,
448
00:17:38,446 --> 00:17:40,179
it'll be in the hands
of Sally Langston
449
00:17:40,248 --> 00:17:41,848
and her conservative overlords,
450
00:17:41,915 --> 00:17:44,651
and the rights of people
like me... and you...
451
00:17:44,719 --> 00:17:46,085
Do not bring my rights
into this.
452
00:17:46,153 --> 00:17:48,755
It will be the Salem
witch trials, Liv.
453
00:17:48,822 --> 00:17:52,958
It'll be, "I saw goody Johnson
with the devil, here in D.C."
454
00:17:53,025 --> 00:17:55,661
And the republic will burn
and the seas will run blood,
455
00:17:55,729 --> 00:17:57,162
and the four horsemen will ride
456
00:17:57,230 --> 00:17:59,231
all because he wants
to be with me?
457
00:17:59,299 --> 00:18:00,599
Right, Cy?
458
00:18:02,269 --> 00:18:04,570
Mellie's going to name you
as his mistress.
459
00:18:04,638 --> 00:18:06,103
It's just a matter of time.
You know that.
460
00:18:06,171 --> 00:18:08,573
I know.
461
00:18:08,641 --> 00:18:10,808
You could stop this
at any time.
462
00:18:10,876 --> 00:18:12,744
He will listen to you.
463
00:18:12,811 --> 00:18:14,178
Cyrus.
464
00:18:14,246 --> 00:18:16,247
If I honestly thought
that this was right for him,
465
00:18:16,315 --> 00:18:19,917
giving up his chance
to run again...
466
00:18:19,985 --> 00:18:23,153
If I truly believed
that this...
467
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:26,757
Is what he wanted,
468
00:18:26,824 --> 00:18:29,359
I would fight to the death
to give it to him.
469
00:18:29,427 --> 00:18:31,261
I would slay dragons for him.
(Chuckles)
470
00:18:31,329 --> 00:18:34,498
But it's not right.
It's not.
471
00:18:34,565 --> 00:18:36,366
I believe in him, Liv.
472
00:18:36,434 --> 00:18:37,767
I believe in him, too.
473
00:18:37,834 --> 00:18:39,134
Then don't let him do this.
474
00:18:41,338 --> 00:18:43,105
The future of the country
depends
475
00:18:43,173 --> 00:18:45,474
on you not letting him do this.
476
00:18:45,542 --> 00:18:46,975
We've already changed
477
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:49,211
the future of this country
once, Cyrus.
478
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:51,013
Isn't that enough?
479
00:18:54,249 --> 00:18:56,050
Go away.
480
00:18:58,321 --> 00:18:59,688
You're breaking my heart.
481
00:19:05,861 --> 00:19:08,463
This park...
482
00:19:08,531 --> 00:19:10,664
It also used to be a zoo.
483
00:19:22,377 --> 00:19:23,910
Hello, Cyrus.
484
00:19:35,228 --> 00:19:36,995
(Man) What does the President
mean by "private matter"?
485
00:19:37,063 --> 00:19:38,297
We've been over this.
486
00:19:38,363 --> 00:19:39,763
Because so much of his
family life is public.
487
00:19:39,864 --> 00:19:41,298
On average,
women in this country
488
00:19:41,365 --> 00:19:43,467
make 80 cents to my dollar.
That's a public matter.
489
00:19:43,835 --> 00:19:46,401
21% of children live in
poverty in this country.
490
00:19:46,469 --> 00:19:48,002
That's a public matter.
491
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:49,871
The President
and First Lady's pri...
492
00:19:49,939 --> 00:19:52,407
- But if the President had an affair...
- Careful, Ashley.
493
00:19:52,475 --> 00:19:54,109
An alleged affair
on White House grounds
494
00:19:54,176 --> 00:19:56,044
with a White House employee...
495
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:57,479
Now we're just making things up.
(Reporters clamoring)
496
00:19:57,547 --> 00:19:59,147
You're a very lucky man, Cyrus.
497
00:19:59,215 --> 00:20:00,916
I don't feel lucky.
Not today.
498
00:20:01,083 --> 00:20:02,683
Well, First Lady
pulls the fire alarm
499
00:20:02,751 --> 00:20:04,152
while her husband
is with his mistress,
500
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:05,519
and no one's the wiser?
I'd call that lucky.
501
00:20:05,587 --> 00:20:07,121
Mistress? That's reaching.
502
00:20:07,189 --> 00:20:08,990
It's unconfirmed rantings
of an emotional wife.
503
00:20:09,058 --> 00:20:10,892
It's Olivia Pope.
504
00:20:12,561 --> 00:20:14,162
You're surprised that I know
505
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:15,463
about the President
and Olivia Pope.
506
00:20:15,530 --> 00:20:17,898
I suppose I'm surprised
that you care.
507
00:20:17,966 --> 00:20:20,500
We care about everything
that affects the republic.
508
00:20:20,568 --> 00:20:23,570
You should have shut this
down a long time ago.
509
00:20:23,637 --> 00:20:25,405
You have all the ammunition
that you need.
510
00:20:25,473 --> 00:20:26,874
You know about Jake Ballard.
511
00:20:26,941 --> 00:20:28,375
You know that he's been
sleeping with Olivia.
512
00:20:28,442 --> 00:20:30,477
We agreed you would not have me
surveilled, damn it.
513
00:20:30,544 --> 00:20:32,212
Calm down.
514
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,414
Your guy... Charlie...
Was one of mine.
515
00:20:35,482 --> 00:20:38,550
The point is, there's a tape
of Ballard and Pope.
516
00:20:39,987 --> 00:20:41,787
(Scoffs)
517
00:20:41,855 --> 00:20:43,455
You have the tape already,
don't you?
518
00:20:43,523 --> 00:20:45,324
But you haven't used it.
519
00:20:45,392 --> 00:20:47,326
I've tried, believe me.
It's complex.
520
00:20:47,394 --> 00:20:50,695
It's simple. It's only complex
because you're afraid.
521
00:20:50,763 --> 00:20:52,297
You're afraid to be
the messenger.
522
00:20:52,365 --> 00:20:53,831
You're afraid to take
the bullet.
523
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:55,367
You're afraid that
he'll turn on you.
524
00:20:55,434 --> 00:20:57,435
But ask yourself,
what are you most afraid of...
525
00:20:57,503 --> 00:21:00,171
Losing the White House
and endangering the republic,
526
00:21:00,239 --> 00:21:02,908
- or losing your buddy Fitz?
- Back off.
527
00:21:02,975 --> 00:21:04,709
You're out of bounds.
This is my arena.
528
00:21:04,777 --> 00:21:05,809
Stay in yours.
529
00:21:05,877 --> 00:21:07,444
This always happens.
530
00:21:07,512 --> 00:21:09,346
People like you
get a taste of power,
531
00:21:09,414 --> 00:21:10,915
and they develop amnesia.
532
00:21:10,982 --> 00:21:14,151
They forget that I have
no boundaries.
533
00:21:14,219 --> 00:21:17,421
I like you, Cyrus.
Use the tape.
534
00:21:17,488 --> 00:21:19,723
Don't make yourself
an obstacle.
535
00:21:19,791 --> 00:21:22,425
Don't test your luck.
536
00:21:25,262 --> 00:21:26,796
Oh.
537
00:21:26,863 --> 00:21:28,764
And your guy... Charlie?
538
00:21:28,832 --> 00:21:30,733
He's dead to you.
539
00:21:30,801 --> 00:21:32,601
No further contact.
Understood?
540
00:21:32,669 --> 00:21:34,770
Understood.
541
00:21:39,309 --> 00:21:41,243
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
542
00:21:41,311 --> 00:21:42,411
(Phone rings)
543
00:21:45,248 --> 00:21:46,881
You're supposed to be
running the world.
544
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:48,583
I'm writing my statement
for tonight.
545
00:21:48,651 --> 00:21:50,152
By yourself?
546
00:21:50,219 --> 00:21:52,620
You do realize that there are
many, many speechwriters
547
00:21:52,688 --> 00:21:54,588
in that big white building.
548
00:21:54,656 --> 00:21:56,357
If I'm gonna announce
to the American people
549
00:21:56,425 --> 00:21:57,858
that I'm not running
for re-election,
550
00:21:57,926 --> 00:21:59,526
I think it should be
in my own words.
551
00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:04,798
Cyrus has been spending all day
trying to talk me out of it.
552
00:22:04,866 --> 00:22:08,902
- I was just with Cyrus.
- And?
553
00:22:08,970 --> 00:22:10,503
There may have been
some lectures
554
00:22:10,571 --> 00:22:13,440
about me ruining the future
of this great nation.
555
00:22:13,507 --> 00:22:15,175
Are you having second thoughts?
556
00:22:15,242 --> 00:22:18,011
No. Are you?
557
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:19,379
Never.
558
00:22:25,051 --> 00:22:27,319
You maybe wanna run
your speech by me?
559
00:22:27,387 --> 00:22:29,488
- Stop trying to help me.
- Just asking.
560
00:22:29,555 --> 00:22:30,990
I take it back.
Good-bye.
561
00:22:31,057 --> 00:22:32,024
- Wait.
- What?
562
00:22:33,293 --> 00:22:34,626
What are you wearing?
563
00:22:34,694 --> 00:22:38,030
(Laughs) You are shameless.
Good-bye.
564
00:22:38,098 --> 00:22:39,898
(Beep)
565
00:22:39,966 --> 00:22:41,532
(Phone rings)
566
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,035
I am not telling you
what I'm wearing.
567
00:22:44,103 --> 00:22:45,436
(Jake) Well, never mind then.
568
00:22:45,504 --> 00:22:47,238
Jake.
569
00:22:47,306 --> 00:22:50,041
You were expecting someone else.
Let me guess.
570
00:22:50,109 --> 00:22:52,477
How late did he stay
last night?
571
00:22:52,544 --> 00:22:54,379
All night, I'm guessing.
572
00:22:54,446 --> 00:22:55,980
Do you want me to answer that?
573
00:22:56,048 --> 00:22:58,515
Oh, I want a lot of things
that he gets to have first.
574
00:23:03,054 --> 00:23:04,488
I'm not a bad guy, Olivia.
575
00:23:04,555 --> 00:23:06,023
You're not a good one.
576
00:23:06,090 --> 00:23:07,524
Well, neither is he.
577
00:23:07,591 --> 00:23:09,826
I'm going to hang up now.
Take care of yourself.
578
00:23:09,894 --> 00:23:11,628
Good-bye, Olivia.
579
00:23:12,997 --> 00:23:14,030
(Beep)
580
00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:19,535
Is it someone who works with him?
581
00:23:19,602 --> 00:23:21,303
An aide, an adviser?
582
00:23:21,371 --> 00:23:23,672
Is this woman a threat
to you in some way?
583
00:23:23,740 --> 00:23:26,175
Is she a game changer?
584
00:23:26,243 --> 00:23:28,044
Is she sweet?
Will the public like her?
585
00:23:28,111 --> 00:23:29,310
Is it a man?
586
00:23:29,378 --> 00:23:30,878
Is the President's lover a man?
587
00:23:30,946 --> 00:23:32,713
All right, enough.
588
00:23:32,781 --> 00:23:34,482
(Breathes deeply)
589
00:23:34,550 --> 00:23:37,152
Right now, everyone
is just curious.
590
00:23:37,219 --> 00:23:40,321
Is the First Lady telling
the truth? Is she lying?
591
00:23:40,389 --> 00:23:43,291
Is it poor President Grant
with a cold, frigid wife,
592
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,060
or poor Mrs. Grant with
the mean, slutty husband?
593
00:23:48,029 --> 00:23:50,197
They're waiting to see
which way the wind blows.
594
00:23:51,866 --> 00:23:53,534
Anything is possible
at this point.
595
00:23:53,601 --> 00:23:54,668
(Sighs)
596
00:23:54,735 --> 00:23:56,403
It's anyone's game.
597
00:23:56,471 --> 00:23:58,705
But if we name the name
of his mistress
598
00:23:58,773 --> 00:24:00,474
and put a face
to his infidelity,
599
00:24:00,542 --> 00:24:03,576
well, then, everything's
coming up Mellie.
600
00:24:03,643 --> 00:24:07,146
He's going to make
a statement tonight.
601
00:24:07,214 --> 00:24:10,015
The President?
Nothing's been announced.
602
00:24:10,084 --> 00:24:11,250
Well, he is.
603
00:24:11,318 --> 00:24:13,786
Well, at least
I'm assuming he is.
604
00:24:13,853 --> 00:24:16,489
So if you don't know for sure,
605
00:24:16,557 --> 00:24:17,956
then why are you assuming?
606
00:24:18,023 --> 00:24:20,492
Because I know Fitz.
607
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,594
And what does this have to do
608
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:24,629
with you telling me
the name of his mistress?
609
00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:26,965
Before I hand over
my most valuable asset
610
00:24:27,032 --> 00:24:30,469
in all of this, I want to know
what he's going to say.
611
00:24:30,536 --> 00:24:32,670
Get me a copy of his remarks.
612
00:24:32,738 --> 00:24:35,072
I can try to get
some confirmation
613
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,773
about his statement,
but a speech like that
614
00:24:36,841 --> 00:24:38,342
would be very closely guarded.
615
00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:39,876
And you are very good
at what you do.
616
00:24:39,944 --> 00:24:41,178
Isn't that what you said?
617
00:24:44,015 --> 00:24:46,150
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
618
00:24:46,218 --> 00:24:49,019
Two crullers, please.
619
00:24:49,087 --> 00:24:50,587
Where's Crystal?
620
00:24:50,654 --> 00:24:52,922
Oh, she got sick.
621
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:54,724
That flu going around.
622
00:24:54,791 --> 00:24:57,293
Huh.
Thought that was over.
623
00:24:57,361 --> 00:24:58,628
Guess not.
624
00:24:58,695 --> 00:25:01,964
- Stay healthy.
- You, too.
625
00:25:02,032 --> 00:25:04,900
(Bag rustling)
626
00:25:10,140 --> 00:25:11,940
(Projector and camera shutter
clicking) (Clicks switch)
627
00:25:12,008 --> 00:25:14,508
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking continues)
628
00:25:17,980 --> 00:25:19,948
(Exhales)
629
00:25:20,016 --> 00:25:21,315
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
630
00:25:24,419 --> 00:25:26,154
He knows.
631
00:25:26,221 --> 00:25:27,688
We're moving now.
I got his signal.
632
00:25:27,756 --> 00:25:29,557
(Beep)
633
00:25:29,625 --> 00:25:30,958
Right on Wisconsin.
634
00:25:31,026 --> 00:25:32,593
And he should be 100
yards up on the right.
635
00:25:35,864 --> 00:25:37,597
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
636
00:25:37,665 --> 00:25:38,998
(Bodies collide) Sorry.
637
00:25:41,369 --> 00:25:43,336
Excuse me. Pardon me.
638
00:25:46,907 --> 00:25:48,408
Sorry, is that, uh,
Connecticut Avenue
639
00:25:48,476 --> 00:25:51,044
right up there?
Thank you.
640
00:25:51,111 --> 00:25:52,111
Hi.
641
00:25:54,581 --> 00:25:55,581
(Cocks gun)
642
00:25:59,352 --> 00:26:01,153
Pull over.
Pull over!
643
00:26:08,027 --> 00:26:10,562
(Under breath) Damn.
644
00:26:10,629 --> 00:26:11,896
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
645
00:26:11,963 --> 00:26:13,464
What's up?
646
00:26:13,532 --> 00:26:15,766
We're cross-referencing
the information Sally accessed
647
00:26:15,834 --> 00:26:17,036
with the data
from the mole's flash drive.
648
00:26:17,037 --> 00:26:18,303
They were matching up.
649
00:26:18,304 --> 00:26:20,104
Until now.
She was nowhere near her computer
650
00:26:20,172 --> 00:26:21,273
when the file was accessed.
651
00:26:21,340 --> 00:26:22,240
How could you possibly
know that?
652
00:26:22,241 --> 00:26:24,175
Well, look.
(Typing)
653
00:26:24,243 --> 00:26:26,943
At this exact time,
someone using her password
654
00:26:27,011 --> 00:26:28,845
is downloading black op sites.
655
00:26:28,913 --> 00:26:30,480
All right, so that means...
Sally's not the mole.
656
00:26:30,548 --> 00:26:31,981
- So we're back to square one.
- I can't do this.
657
00:26:32,049 --> 00:26:33,617
If I have to say the word
"mole" one more time...
658
00:26:33,685 --> 00:26:34,884
Damn it!
(Loud clatter)
659
00:26:34,952 --> 00:26:37,020
Okay!
660
00:26:37,088 --> 00:26:39,889
Everyone take an hour.
Clear your head,
661
00:26:39,957 --> 00:26:41,224
then come back fresh.
(Exhales)
662
00:26:41,291 --> 00:26:44,159
We are close.
Albatross is out there,
663
00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:45,928
and we are going to find him.
664
00:26:49,433 --> 00:26:51,033
Coffee?
665
00:26:51,101 --> 00:26:53,302
No, I think I'll stay here,
catch the White House briefing.
666
00:26:53,370 --> 00:26:56,672
Watching Cyrus Beene unraveling
under pressure is my porn.
667
00:27:02,144 --> 00:27:04,679
(Projector and camera shutter
clicking) (Phone chimes)
668
00:27:04,747 --> 00:27:06,414
(Charlie) Clear me in.
669
00:27:06,482 --> 00:27:08,883
I'm sorry.
Who is this?
670
00:27:08,951 --> 00:27:11,319
They're after me.
Just clear me in, Cyrus.
671
00:27:11,387 --> 00:27:13,754
You've dialed the wrong number.
And since I don't know you,
672
00:27:13,821 --> 00:27:16,657
don't ever call me again.
673
00:27:16,725 --> 00:27:18,592
(Sighs)
674
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:22,062
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
675
00:27:22,130 --> 00:27:23,797
(Panting)
676
00:27:23,865 --> 00:27:25,232
Just saying, we ruled out
677
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:26,833
the defense secretary
pretty quickly.
678
00:27:26,901 --> 00:27:28,302
- You think we should double back?
- Abby's right.
679
00:27:28,370 --> 00:27:29,935
Can't hurt at this point.
680
00:27:32,005 --> 00:27:34,240
Nice break?
Mine kinda sucked.
681
00:27:34,308 --> 00:27:36,542
- Drop the gun.
- Easy, tiger.
682
00:27:36,610 --> 00:27:39,279
I come in peace.
(Gun slides)
683
00:27:39,346 --> 00:27:40,713
Now the rest.
684
00:27:40,781 --> 00:27:43,249
See?
685
00:27:43,317 --> 00:27:45,317
Friendly.
I just want to chat.
686
00:27:45,385 --> 00:27:46,518
Charlie, why are you here?
687
00:27:48,421 --> 00:27:49,888
Simple.
688
00:27:49,955 --> 00:27:52,023
I want to hire you.
689
00:28:03,008 --> 00:28:04,474
(Reporters shouting questions)
Look,
690
00:28:04,542 --> 00:28:05,775
you've tried a dozen ways to
get me to amplify the statement.
691
00:28:05,843 --> 00:28:07,510
Try a dozen more.
(Laughter)
692
00:28:07,578 --> 00:28:09,746
- I'm not going to expand on...
- But by "unfaithful,"
693
00:28:09,813 --> 00:28:12,314
does the First Lady mean
multiple women?
694
00:28:12,382 --> 00:28:13,950
Asked and answered.
Any other...
695
00:28:14,018 --> 00:28:15,585
What are the legal ra...
What are the legal ramifications
696
00:28:15,653 --> 00:28:17,253
- being considered in this matter?
- Asked and answered.
697
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,888
Cyrus, did the President
force the First Lady
698
00:28:18,956 --> 00:28:20,722
- out of the residence?
- Asked and answered.
699
00:28:20,790 --> 00:28:22,624
- Did the President try to stop the
First Lady... - Asked and answered.
700
00:28:22,692 --> 00:28:24,259
(Echoing) Asked and answered.
Asked and answered.
701
00:28:24,326 --> 00:28:26,028
Asked and answered.
Asked and answered.
702
00:28:26,095 --> 00:28:27,362
(Sighs)
703
00:28:29,666 --> 00:28:31,867
Finished my speech.
Have a look.
704
00:28:33,335 --> 00:28:35,871
(Inhales and exhales deeply)
705
00:28:35,939 --> 00:28:39,807
"I stand before you asking
for your forgiveness for..."
706
00:28:39,875 --> 00:28:41,475
"Sins against my wife
and my marriage
707
00:28:41,543 --> 00:28:44,378
will overshadow
all good work ongoing..."
708
00:28:44,446 --> 00:28:45,913
"And so for the good
of the nation,
709
00:28:45,981 --> 00:28:49,149
I withdraw my candidacy
for a second term..."
710
00:28:49,217 --> 00:28:50,517
It's fine.
711
00:28:51,820 --> 00:28:54,087
No notes?
That's a first.
712
00:28:58,693 --> 00:29:00,393
It's gonna be all right.
713
00:29:00,461 --> 00:29:02,361
We'll be a lame duck
administration.
714
00:29:02,429 --> 00:29:05,364
- We'll leave proud of the work we did.
- We'll be a joke.
715
00:29:05,432 --> 00:29:08,901
Hell, we're not even
supposed to be here.
716
00:29:08,969 --> 00:29:12,204
Need I remind you,
you stole this ride?
717
00:29:12,271 --> 00:29:14,539
At least we got
some mileage out of it.
718
00:29:14,608 --> 00:29:16,408
True.
(Inhales)
719
00:29:16,476 --> 00:29:18,276
And the backseat
did see some action.
720
00:29:18,344 --> 00:29:19,812
(Laughs)
721
00:29:19,879 --> 00:29:21,346
(Laughs)
Yeah, that was my fault.
722
00:29:21,414 --> 00:29:24,016
(Both laughing)
723
00:29:24,084 --> 00:29:25,483
(Continues laughing)
724
00:29:25,550 --> 00:29:26,951
(Continues laughing)
725
00:29:28,386 --> 00:29:29,721
This is...
726
00:29:29,788 --> 00:29:31,789
This is Fitz's handwriting.
727
00:29:31,857 --> 00:29:33,357
It's from his trash.
728
00:29:33,425 --> 00:29:36,494
I called in a very special
White House favor to get it.
729
00:29:36,561 --> 00:29:38,162
(Exhales softly)
730
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:40,864
He's not budging.
731
00:29:40,932 --> 00:29:43,767
The man is not budging.
732
00:29:47,238 --> 00:29:49,940
He's throwing away
his presidency
733
00:29:50,008 --> 00:29:52,009
like...
734
00:29:52,076 --> 00:29:53,543
Like it was nothing.
735
00:29:53,611 --> 00:29:56,179
That's why you won't name
his mistress.
736
00:29:56,247 --> 00:29:58,881
Because naming her
is the nuclear option.
737
00:29:58,949 --> 00:30:01,117
Naming her would
blow this all up.
738
00:30:01,184 --> 00:30:03,019
Naming her will
make him hate you,
739
00:30:03,086 --> 00:30:04,920
and you don't want him
to hate you,
740
00:30:04,988 --> 00:30:06,588
because in the back
of your mind,
741
00:30:06,657 --> 00:30:10,459
you still think there's a chance
that he will come back to you.
742
00:30:10,527 --> 00:30:13,094
(Exhales sharply)
743
00:30:13,162 --> 00:30:15,964
(Sighs)
744
00:30:16,032 --> 00:30:18,599
I am very good at what I do.
745
00:30:18,668 --> 00:30:21,602
I can move mountains
and work miracles.
746
00:30:21,671 --> 00:30:24,338
But I can't make
your husband love you.
747
00:30:25,607 --> 00:30:29,109
(Sighs)
748
00:30:29,177 --> 00:30:31,145
He can write all the sad-sack
speeches he wants,
749
00:30:31,212 --> 00:30:33,947
but at the end of the day,
750
00:30:34,015 --> 00:30:36,684
he's not going to go through
with it.
751
00:30:38,252 --> 00:30:39,920
He won't give it all up.
752
00:30:41,422 --> 00:30:43,023
Mrs. Grant, you can
still give me the name...
753
00:30:43,091 --> 00:30:44,757
No!
754
00:30:46,126 --> 00:30:48,527
I know Fitz.
755
00:30:48,595 --> 00:30:51,564
He won't throw it all away.
756
00:30:51,631 --> 00:30:53,800
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
757
00:30:53,867 --> 00:30:55,301
(Charlie) It's b613.
758
00:30:55,368 --> 00:30:56,468
I'm supposed to be
in retirement.
759
00:30:56,536 --> 00:30:58,404
I'm not supposed...
760
00:30:58,471 --> 00:31:00,139
I'm done.
I'm toast.
761
00:31:00,207 --> 00:31:01,539
Who's the mole, Charlie?
Who are you working for?
762
00:31:01,607 --> 00:31:03,809
Hey, now. Nothing
in this world comes for free.
763
00:31:03,876 --> 00:31:05,410
- I want the deal.
- What deal?
764
00:31:05,477 --> 00:31:07,779
The one he has.
765
00:31:07,847 --> 00:31:10,281
- I don't know what you're
talking about. - Oh, come on.
766
00:31:10,349 --> 00:31:12,283
When command wants you dead,
you're a dead man.
767
00:31:12,351 --> 00:31:14,319
Yet here you are. You're not
running, you're not hiding.
768
00:31:14,386 --> 00:31:16,954
You have a life.
I want a life, too.
769
00:31:17,022 --> 00:31:20,257
I want the deal
she got for you.
770
00:31:20,325 --> 00:31:22,093
What's this deal
you made for him?
771
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,061
- I didn't make a deal.
- Then how come he's here?
772
00:31:24,129 --> 00:31:26,330
How come b613 let him live?
773
00:31:26,397 --> 00:31:28,833
- They must know.
- There was no deal, huck.
774
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:30,835
- It doesn't matter.
I'll get us the name. - No.
775
00:31:30,902 --> 00:31:32,603
He took my life and then
he put me in a box
776
00:31:32,670 --> 00:31:34,804
and almost took it again.
I will get us the name.
777
00:31:34,872 --> 00:31:37,473
- Huck...
- My world, my rules.
778
00:31:37,541 --> 00:31:40,243
(Door opens)
779
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:41,510
(Door closes)
780
00:31:41,578 --> 00:31:43,113
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
781
00:31:43,180 --> 00:31:46,315
(Exhales and mutters)
782
00:31:46,383 --> 00:31:47,650
I need you to pull
the President's
783
00:31:47,718 --> 00:31:49,752
statement of candidacy papers.
784
00:31:49,819 --> 00:31:52,020
Why do you...
(Sighs)
785
00:31:52,088 --> 00:31:53,822
Oh, my God.
786
00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:56,324
Oh, my God. That's his
speech tonight, isn't it?
787
00:31:56,392 --> 00:31:58,160
We need to retrieve
those papers.
788
00:31:58,228 --> 00:31:59,962
I can't.
789
00:32:00,029 --> 00:32:02,264
Jeannine, for God sakes,
get a grip.
790
00:32:02,331 --> 00:32:05,733
No, I mean, I can't
unfile the papers.
791
00:32:05,801 --> 00:32:07,902
They were never filed
in the first place.
792
00:32:07,970 --> 00:32:10,104
They've been sitting on
the President's desk for months.
793
00:32:10,172 --> 00:32:11,939
I keep telling Lauren
to remind him,
794
00:32:12,007 --> 00:32:15,076
but he...
Never signed them.
795
00:32:20,282 --> 00:32:21,782
What's this?
796
00:32:21,816 --> 00:32:23,950
The brown folder is everyone
who owes us a favor.
797
00:32:24,018 --> 00:32:26,186
If you get into trouble,
start pulling those strings.
798
00:32:26,254 --> 00:32:28,354
- If that doesn't work, you switch
to the black folder. - It's sealed.
799
00:32:28,422 --> 00:32:30,190
But only open it if...
800
00:32:30,258 --> 00:32:32,358
- Just know it's a weapon
of last resort. - Olivia...
801
00:32:32,426 --> 00:32:34,360
- And if things get messy...
- You mean, if your name comes out.
802
00:32:36,097 --> 00:32:38,264
I'm not your client.
803
00:32:38,331 --> 00:32:40,266
If things get messy,
804
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:41,767
you carry on without me.
805
00:32:41,835 --> 00:32:43,468
I can take care of myself.
806
00:32:43,536 --> 00:32:45,470
- (Sighs) Olivia...
- Harrison,
807
00:32:45,538 --> 00:32:48,274
my world, my rules.
808
00:32:50,110 --> 00:32:51,643
(Inhales deeply)
809
00:32:51,711 --> 00:32:53,178
Put those folders in the safe
when you're done.
810
00:32:53,245 --> 00:32:54,913
Combo's inside.
811
00:33:04,623 --> 00:33:06,958
(Breathing heavily)
812
00:33:07,026 --> 00:33:09,126
- Liv?
- Oh.
813
00:33:09,194 --> 00:33:10,127
We need to talk.
814
00:33:32,382 --> 00:33:33,515
(Clicks button)
815
00:33:44,060 --> 00:33:47,262
- The footage you requested.
- Good.
816
00:33:47,330 --> 00:33:48,997
May I ask, sir,
how you're gonna use it?
817
00:33:49,065 --> 00:33:52,067
That's none of your
concern, captain.
818
00:33:52,134 --> 00:33:54,269
- What's next, sir?
- Continue the mission.
819
00:33:54,337 --> 00:33:56,471
Stay close to the President,
even closer to Ms. Pope.
820
00:33:56,538 --> 00:33:58,505
As close as possible.
821
00:33:58,573 --> 00:34:00,140
Sir, I-I don't think...
822
00:34:00,208 --> 00:34:02,509
Screw this up again,
and we'll be meeting
823
00:34:02,577 --> 00:34:04,211
at the hole
instead of the monuments.
824
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,889
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
825
00:34:15,956 --> 00:34:18,925
Mmm. Mmm.
826
00:34:18,993 --> 00:34:20,927
People think the key
to a good doughnut
827
00:34:20,995 --> 00:34:22,695
is either the hand-rolling
or the yeast.
828
00:34:22,763 --> 00:34:24,230
They're full of it.
829
00:34:24,298 --> 00:34:26,266
It's simple.
These suckers start dying
830
00:34:26,333 --> 00:34:27,934
the second they get
out of the fryer.
831
00:34:28,002 --> 00:34:30,002
You just gotta get to 'em
when they're hot.
832
00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:31,503
Charlie...
833
00:34:32,872 --> 00:34:34,973
I want a high-energy shell.
834
00:34:35,041 --> 00:34:37,442
None of those funky
antique bullets
835
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:39,778
some guys like to get fancy with.
836
00:34:39,845 --> 00:34:41,780
Once you start messing
around with those,
837
00:34:41,847 --> 00:34:44,416
you're just pretty much asking
for a turnip situation.
838
00:34:44,483 --> 00:34:45,650
I want one shot...
One clean shot
839
00:34:45,718 --> 00:34:47,285
at the back of my neck.
840
00:34:47,352 --> 00:34:49,921
Pop my spinal column where
it meets the base of my skull.
841
00:34:49,988 --> 00:34:52,424
Quick, easy, neat.
842
00:34:52,491 --> 00:34:53,958
Means less cleanup
for you, too.
843
00:34:54,026 --> 00:34:56,594
- That's very considerate.
- Do not miss.
844
00:34:56,662 --> 00:34:58,563
I won't.
You taught me well.
845
00:34:58,631 --> 00:35:00,732
(Chuckles softly)
846
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,299
And surprise me, okay?
847
00:35:02,366 --> 00:35:03,767
I don't want to know
when it's coming.
848
00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:06,202
I'm gonna need
a name now, Charlie.
849
00:35:07,505 --> 00:35:09,372
(Sighs)
850
00:35:11,876 --> 00:35:15,345
This job we do...
851
00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:16,947
It's never boring.
852
00:35:22,419 --> 00:35:24,320
Like I said.
853
00:35:30,527 --> 00:35:31,894
You ready?
854
00:35:33,196 --> 00:35:34,362
Ready.
855
00:35:36,265 --> 00:35:38,199
(Cocks gun)
856
00:35:38,267 --> 00:35:39,901
And, uh, huck...
857
00:35:39,969 --> 00:35:41,603
Yeah?
858
00:35:41,671 --> 00:35:45,239
Thanks for the doughnut, man.
859
00:35:53,515 --> 00:35:55,783
- Did you get the name?
- Jeez! Whew!
860
00:35:55,851 --> 00:35:57,885
- Take a walk, Quinn.
- Well? Did you?
861
00:35:57,953 --> 00:36:00,220
- Leave now!
- Or what?
862
00:36:00,288 --> 00:36:03,557
(Exhales)
863
00:36:03,625 --> 00:36:06,158
We solve problems, remember?
864
00:36:08,128 --> 00:36:10,530
You don't understood.
He took everything from me.
865
00:36:10,598 --> 00:36:11,532
He tried to kill Liv.
866
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:13,399
- He helped put me in a b...
- Huck, look at me.
867
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,702
Focus on me.
868
00:36:15,769 --> 00:36:18,505
(Breathing unevenly) Mm.
869
00:36:18,572 --> 00:36:20,306
You had a job, right?
870
00:36:20,374 --> 00:36:22,674
(Chokes softly) What?
871
00:36:22,742 --> 00:36:24,543
Did you get the name?
872
00:36:24,611 --> 00:36:26,211
- I got the name.
- Good.
873
00:36:26,278 --> 00:36:28,113
Hmm.
Job's over.
874
00:36:28,180 --> 00:36:30,915
(Breathing heavily) So right
now, you have to ask yourself
875
00:36:30,983 --> 00:36:32,550
if you're a gladiator,
876
00:36:32,618 --> 00:36:33,985
or you're looking for revenge.
877
00:36:34,053 --> 00:36:36,354
'Cause way I hear it,
you can't have it both ways.
878
00:36:36,422 --> 00:36:37,522
- She's right, man.
- Shut up.
879
00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:39,424
(Breathing heavily) Huck,
880
00:36:39,492 --> 00:36:41,692
what's it gonna be?
881
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,828
(Breathing unevenly)
882
00:36:50,282 --> 00:36:51,715
The President will address
the American people
883
00:36:51,783 --> 00:36:53,717
directly tonight.
He'll then give you
884
00:36:53,785 --> 00:36:55,486
the opportunity
to ask him anything you want.
885
00:36:55,653 --> 00:36:57,053
(Reporters shouting questions)
886
00:36:57,054 --> 00:36:58,888
Thank you.
No more questions.
887
00:36:58,956 --> 00:37:00,790
(Shouting continues)
888
00:37:00,858 --> 00:37:02,391
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
889
00:37:05,029 --> 00:37:06,829
Well, this is a nice surprise.
890
00:37:06,897 --> 00:37:09,097
- How did you...
- Cyrus brought me up.
891
00:37:09,165 --> 00:37:11,166
No one saw me.
Well, Tom did, but...
892
00:37:11,233 --> 00:37:12,968
It's fine.
893
00:37:13,036 --> 00:37:15,170
What is it?
(Laughs softly)
894
00:37:15,237 --> 00:37:17,405
Did something...
(Exhales softly)
895
00:37:17,473 --> 00:37:20,341
Your statement of candidacy papers,
896
00:37:20,409 --> 00:37:23,011
the official documents you
should have filed months ago
897
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:26,380
with the G.E.C. in order
to run for re-election...
898
00:37:26,447 --> 00:37:29,850
(Chuckles) They're sitting
on your desk... unsigned.
899
00:37:29,918 --> 00:37:31,418
So?
900
00:37:31,486 --> 00:37:33,054
Those papers are
practically ceremonial.
901
00:37:33,121 --> 00:37:35,589
I can file them at any time.
But you weren't going to.
902
00:37:35,657 --> 00:37:36,924
- I was.
- No, you weren't.
903
00:37:36,992 --> 00:37:38,826
What does it matter now?
904
00:37:38,894 --> 00:37:40,960
It matters.
905
00:37:41,028 --> 00:37:42,495
I'm going out there tonight
906
00:37:42,563 --> 00:37:44,030
and telling the American people
907
00:37:44,098 --> 00:37:45,531
that I am not running
for a second term.
908
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:48,534
- It doesn't matter.
- It matters.
909
00:37:48,602 --> 00:37:51,337
Were you planning to run or not?
910
00:37:51,405 --> 00:37:52,906
- Why are you so...
- Were you planning to run or not?
911
00:37:52,973 --> 00:37:56,609
- Olivia.
- Were you planning to run... or not?
912
00:38:00,413 --> 00:38:01,479
(Exhales)
913
00:38:01,547 --> 00:38:03,248
Fitz.
914
00:38:03,316 --> 00:38:05,084
Look at me.
915
00:38:05,151 --> 00:38:08,921
This is not a conversation
we are going to have.
916
00:38:08,988 --> 00:38:10,789
I chose you.
917
00:38:10,857 --> 00:38:12,457
I know you want to be with me.
918
00:38:12,525 --> 00:38:13,758
- I believe that, but...
- Liv...
919
00:38:13,826 --> 00:38:15,059
Listen to me.
920
00:38:15,127 --> 00:38:16,560
If you don't want to be
President anymore,
921
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:18,295
if that's why you're quitting,
then that's okay.
922
00:38:19,063 --> 00:38:22,566
That's great.
That's bold and brave.
923
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:25,669
Is that what's happening?
Are you being bold and brave?
924
00:38:25,937 --> 00:38:27,170
Because I don't think so.
925
00:38:32,776 --> 00:38:34,443
I think you're quitting
926
00:38:34,511 --> 00:38:36,512
because you don't believe
you can win on your own.
927
00:38:36,579 --> 00:38:38,313
I think you believe
you are everything
928
00:38:38,381 --> 00:38:40,215
your father you said you were.
929
00:38:40,283 --> 00:38:42,351
And I think you believe
you don't have what it takes
930
00:38:42,418 --> 00:38:44,153
to be a legitimate President.
931
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,655
And I think you wouldn't
believe any of that...
932
00:38:46,722 --> 00:38:48,556
You wouldn't be afraid,
you wouldn't doubt yourself...
933
00:38:48,624 --> 00:38:50,025
If it weren't for Defiance,
934
00:38:50,092 --> 00:38:52,293
if it weren't for what
we did to you in Defiance,
935
00:38:52,361 --> 00:38:53,962
what I did to you in Defiance.
936
00:38:54,030 --> 00:38:56,998
I already made my decision.
937
00:38:57,066 --> 00:38:59,534
I already...
938
00:38:59,601 --> 00:39:01,235
Why can't you just let this go?
939
00:39:01,303 --> 00:39:03,303
I did this to you.
940
00:39:03,371 --> 00:39:05,539
And if you give up
your chance to run again,
941
00:39:05,606 --> 00:39:08,208
I will blame myself
every day of my life,
942
00:39:08,276 --> 00:39:10,177
and one day, so will you.
943
00:39:13,748 --> 00:39:16,583
We stole that election.
944
00:39:16,651 --> 00:39:18,851
We stole your chance.
Take it back.
945
00:39:18,919 --> 00:39:22,455
Run.
Run and win.
946
00:39:30,364 --> 00:39:32,932
(Footsteps retreating,
door opens)
947
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,567
(Door closes)
948
00:39:34,634 --> 00:39:38,671
(Reporters murmuring)
949
00:39:38,738 --> 00:39:42,174
(Camera shutters clicking)
(Speaking inaudibly)
950
00:39:42,242 --> 00:39:44,776
(Murmuring continues)
(Shutters continue clicking)
951
00:39:49,616 --> 00:39:51,282
He's still got his speech.
952
00:39:51,350 --> 00:39:53,084
I tried, Cyrus.
953
00:39:59,692 --> 00:40:00,991
Did he give you a name?
954
00:40:01,059 --> 00:40:02,193
(Abby) Do we finally have
an Albatross?
955
00:40:02,261 --> 00:40:03,595
(Door closes) (Inhales)
956
00:40:05,897 --> 00:40:08,265
(Door closes) What is it?
957
00:40:08,333 --> 00:40:10,400
What happened, Harrison?
958
00:40:11,969 --> 00:40:14,838
(Camera shutters clicking)
959
00:40:20,077 --> 00:40:22,645
(Shutters continue clicking)
960
00:40:29,653 --> 00:40:32,020
Good evening.
961
00:40:32,088 --> 00:40:33,922
I'll make this concise
and to the point.
962
00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:36,425
My marriage
963
00:40:36,493 --> 00:40:40,795
is none of your business.
964
00:40:43,832 --> 00:40:45,300
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
965
00:40:45,368 --> 00:40:47,135
The card is gone.
966
00:40:47,202 --> 00:40:49,704
The Cytron card is gone.
967
00:40:52,608 --> 00:40:56,777
And because the question has
been asked repeatedly today,
968
00:40:56,844 --> 00:40:58,912
I'd like to take
this opportunity
969
00:40:58,980 --> 00:41:00,947
to announce
to the American people
970
00:41:01,015 --> 00:41:03,950
that I will seek a second
term as your President,
971
00:41:04,018 --> 00:41:06,387
and humbly ask the country
972
00:41:06,454 --> 00:41:08,155
to join me in forging ahead
973
00:41:08,222 --> 00:41:10,757
to finish the good work
we've only just begun.
974
00:41:10,824 --> 00:41:12,692
(Exhales)
975
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,694
I know what you're giving up.
976
00:41:14,762 --> 00:41:16,262
(Murmuring continues)
(Shutters continue clicking)
977
00:41:16,330 --> 00:41:19,064
And as I lay the foundation
for my campaign,
978
00:41:19,132 --> 00:41:21,100
I will remained focused
on the job
979
00:41:21,168 --> 00:41:24,036
the American people
elected me to do,
980
00:41:24,104 --> 00:41:26,272
- specifically, by working...
- Well played.
981
00:41:26,340 --> 00:41:28,941
With the leadership in both the house
and the senate... - Like I said,
982
00:41:29,009 --> 00:41:32,311
- I know Fitz. - To pass a
comprehensive immigration bill.
983
00:41:32,378 --> 00:41:34,213
I found Charlie
in the conference room.
984
00:41:34,281 --> 00:41:35,580
Who knows how long
he had been here?
985
00:41:35,648 --> 00:41:37,917
(Exhales) He played us good.
986
00:41:37,984 --> 00:41:40,986
But it's okay, because even
though Charlie took the card,
987
00:41:41,054 --> 00:41:43,387
Huck took Charlie.
Right, Huck?
988
00:41:44,824 --> 00:41:47,225
(Quinn) We let him go.
989
00:41:47,293 --> 00:41:49,227
What?
990
00:41:49,295 --> 00:41:52,063
Uh, but I got a name.
I know who the mole is.
991
00:41:52,131 --> 00:41:54,632
Both true to our values,
992
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:56,701
and fair to those individuals
993
00:41:56,768 --> 00:41:58,969
who have come here
with no desire
994
00:41:59,037 --> 00:42:00,537
other than to work hard...
(Cell phone chimes)
995
00:42:00,604 --> 00:42:02,439
And secure a piece
of the American dream.
996
00:42:02,506 --> 00:42:04,308
(Lowered voice) Harrison,
I can't really talk.
997
00:42:04,375 --> 00:42:06,643
It was a setup.
I-it was all a setup.
998
00:42:06,711 --> 00:42:08,511
Charlie took the Cytron card.
999
00:42:08,579 --> 00:42:10,613
Which means the mole
has the Cytron card.
1000
00:42:10,681 --> 00:42:12,649
Which means the mole
has Defiance.
1001
00:42:12,717 --> 00:42:14,851
Liv, I'm so sorry.
1002
00:42:14,918 --> 00:42:16,219
Tell me we got a name,
Harrison.
1003
00:42:16,286 --> 00:42:17,653
We got a name.
1004
00:42:17,721 --> 00:42:19,688
Who is it?
Who is Albatross?
1005
00:42:21,058 --> 00:42:23,226
(Harrison) Billy Chambers.
1006
00:42:23,293 --> 00:42:24,626
Billy Chambers is the mole.
1007
00:42:26,463 --> 00:42:27,930
You got it?
1008
00:42:32,502 --> 00:42:34,536
Nice
1009
00:42:34,604 --> 00:42:36,805
now we can start
having some fun.
1010
00:42:36,873 --> 00:42:40,342
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
1011
00:42:40,410 --> 00:42:42,544
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking continues)
1012
00:42:42,612 --> 00:42:44,580
And now...
1013
00:42:44,647 --> 00:42:46,047
Any questions?
1014
00:42:46,115 --> 00:42:47,448
(Reporters shouting questions)
1015
00:42:47,516 --> 00:42:50,284
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
