Previously on "Scandal"...

00:00:06,201 --> 00:00:07,935
What if the man was murdered
and no one finds out about it.

00:00:08,003 --> 00:00:09,136
You have to trust me.
5
00:00:09,204 --> 00:00:10,504
No, actually, I don't.

00:00:10,572 --> 00:00:12,907
Adnan Salif says hello.
Keep your phone on, "H."

00:00:12,975 --> 00:00:14,609
Huck: Quinn, you've been a bad girl.
8
00:00:14,676 --> 00:00:15,916
You're not a gladiator anymore.

00:00:15,978 --> 00:00:17,511
[Screaming] Olivia: You hurt her.
10
00:00:17,579 --> 00:00:18,778
I had to make her tell the truth.
11
00:00:18,846 --> 00:00:20,314
She was working for your father.
12
00:00:20,381 --> 00:00:23,049
Don't worry, sweetheart.
I'll see you real soon.
13
00:00:23,118 --> 00:00:25,319
Your father has to be
stopped, 'cause I need answers.
14
00:00:25,386 --> 00:00:26,786
Do what you have to do.
15
00:00:26,854 --> 00:00:29,089
I have never answered to
any holder of your office.
16
00:00:29,157 --> 00:00:31,291
That changes right here, right now.
17
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:33,560
- I'm command now, effective immediately.
- The hell you are.
18
00:00:33,595 --> 00:00:35,028
I'm gonna have to ask my agents
to escort you to the street.
19
00:00:35,096 --> 00:00:37,230
I'm running against you as an independent.
20
00:00:37,297 --> 00:00:38,932
Fitz: You're making the biggest mistake
21
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,133
of your life crossing me.
22
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,168

26
00:00:56,750 --> 00:00:58,217
of a historic declaration.

Reporter 2: The resignation
of a sitting Vice President
28
00:00:59,653 --> 00:01:01,521
hasn't happened since 1973,
29
00:01:01,588 --> 00:01:03,356
when Vice President Spiro Agnew
resigned under President...

Reporter 3: The timing of Vice
President Langston's resignation
31
00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:06,759
could not have come at a worse time.
32
00:01:06,826 --> 00:01:08,306
Confidence in the Grant administration
33
00:01:08,327 --> 00:01:09,895
is plummeting as a veritable
revolution plays out.
34
00:01:09,963 --> 00:01:11,563
Reporter 4: We are live at the White House
35
00:01:11,631 --> 00:01:13,398

36
00:01:13,466 --> 00:01:15,400
from Vice President Sally Langston.

[Reporters talking]
38
00:01:16,970 --> 00:01:19,905
So, what is it? What's our message?
39
00:01:19,973 --> 00:01:22,174
Cyrus, I have the entire
press corps waiting for me!
40
00:01:22,241 --> 00:01:23,642
We're waiting on the poll numbers.
41
00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:24,776
Well, what's the message?
42
00:01:24,843 --> 00:01:26,404
- Do we call her a traitor?
- We're waiting.
43
00:01:26,412 --> 00:01:27,712
I say we get personal.
44
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:29,047
Paint that reckless half-wit
with the crazy brush.
45
00:01:29,114 --> 00:01:30,549
- She's delusional.
- And emotionally crippled,
46
00:01:30,616 --> 00:01:32,050
her already-shaky mental
state suffering a deadly blow
47
00:01:32,117 --> 00:01:33,552
from the passing of her husband.
48
00:01:33,619 --> 00:01:36,221
Sexist but effective. Leak
that on deep background...
49
00:01:36,289 --> 00:01:37,755
We're not leaking anything. We're waiting.
50
00:01:37,823 --> 00:01:38,990
While we wait, the press
corps thinks I'm hiding,
51
00:01:39,058 --> 00:01:40,124
and they're not wrong.
52
00:01:40,192 --> 00:01:41,358
The numbers are the oracle.
53
00:01:41,426 --> 00:01:42,894
The numbers will tell us what to...
54
00:01:42,961 --> 00:01:45,096
- What numbers?
- The polls!
55
00:01:45,164 --> 00:01:47,699
- Someone bring me the damn polls right now.
- Yes, sir.

From me? Where the hell are they?
58
00:01:50,903 --> 00:01:53,270
- Sir, well, the President...
- Faster, Ethan, faster.
59
00:01:53,338 --> 00:01:54,772
The President wanted to
review the numbers with...
60
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,473
With whom? With whom, Ethan?
61
00:01:56,541 --> 00:01:58,275
With his new campaign manager.

Before the last word leaves your lips,
70
00:02:25,502 --> 00:02:26,837
Grant's rapid-response goons
71
00:02:26,904 --> 00:02:28,839
are gonna be blasting you
for being a spiteful squatter
72
00:02:28,906 --> 00:02:30,626
suffering from a wicked
case of hot flashes,
73
00:02:30,641 --> 00:02:31,741
but you're not.
74
00:02:31,808 --> 00:02:33,343
You are standing up for the people
75
00:02:33,410 --> 00:02:37,380
against the tyranny of a
decadent monarch, plus...
76
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:39,282
You know, Jesus loves you.
77
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:40,850
- Yes. Yes, I can do this.
- Yeah.
78
00:02:40,917 --> 00:02:42,552
- Mm-hmm.
- Two-minute warning.
79
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:43,720
Two minutes.

Olivia: The numbers give us a chance.
81
00:02:44,988 --> 00:02:46,421
Not a big chance, but a fighting chance.
82
00:02:46,489 --> 00:02:48,924
So, these are your talking points.
83
00:02:48,992 --> 00:02:52,027
Number one... Sally
Langston's a selfish quitter.
84
00:02:52,095 --> 00:02:53,729
She abandoned her views on abortion,
85
00:02:53,797 --> 00:02:55,364
and now she's abandoning her post.
86
00:02:55,431 --> 00:02:57,099
Number two... Sally's a loose cannon,
87
00:02:57,167 --> 00:03:01,270
a fundamentalist extremist
who's incapable of compromise.
88
00:03:01,337 --> 00:03:04,105
Three... Sally's endangering
our national security
89
00:03:04,173 --> 00:03:06,675
and the safety of our brave
troops serving overseas.
90
00:03:06,743 --> 00:03:08,009
She's sending a message
91
00:03:08,077 --> 00:03:09,611
to our enemies that we
are weak and divided,
92
00:03:09,679 --> 00:03:13,148
which is why this country needs
to band together immediately
93
00:03:13,215 --> 00:03:16,718
and show our unwavering support
to our Commander-In-Chief.
94
00:03:16,786 --> 00:03:18,853
So, selfish quitter, loose cannon,
95
00:03:18,921 --> 00:03:20,321
endangering our troops.
96
00:03:20,389 --> 00:03:21,923
Stick to those talking points.
97
00:03:21,991 --> 00:03:23,324
Do not stray from them,
98
00:03:23,392 --> 00:03:25,794
and we will come out of
this stronger than ever.

100
00:03:26,862 --> 00:03:27,929
It's starting.
101
00:03:27,997 --> 00:03:29,430
Sally: My fellow Americans,
102
00:03:29,498 --> 00:03:31,465
as we know from our nation's great history,
103
00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:34,202
there are times when
political bonds must be broken
104
00:03:34,270 --> 00:03:35,636
to preserve the will of the people
105
00:03:35,704 --> 00:03:38,372
and the freedoms we hold so dear.
106
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,476
Like our Founding Fathers, I
have been witness to tyranny.
107
00:03:42,544 --> 00:03:45,913
I believe our President's moral
corruption knows no bounds.
108
00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:48,882
And so, as of this morning,
109
00:03:48,950 --> 00:03:51,619
I am declaring my independence
from President Grant
110
00:03:51,687 --> 00:03:54,487
so that I may run as
a third-party candidate
111
00:03:54,555 --> 00:03:56,790
in the upcoming election.
112
00:03:56,858 --> 00:03:59,659
However, because of my
duties to God and my country,
113
00:03:59,727 --> 00:04:00,928
I cannot leave our nation
114
00:04:00,995 --> 00:04:02,830
to the whims of its childish leader.
115
00:04:02,897 --> 00:04:07,835
This is why I cannot and will
not resign as Vice President.
116
00:04:07,902 --> 00:04:09,393
[All murmuring] Until we
can turn out the lights
117
00:04:09,394 --> 00:04:11,805
- on his irresponsibility...
- Cyrus: Staying? And running.
118
00:04:11,872 --> 00:04:14,173
As you lie through your
opportunistic duplicitous teeth!
119
00:04:14,241 --> 00:04:16,309
How could she do this? She can't do this.
120
00:04:16,377 --> 00:04:17,510
She is.
121
00:04:17,578 --> 00:04:20,179
Thank you for your support.
122
00:04:20,247 --> 00:04:23,216
May God bless you, and
may God continue to bless
123
00:04:23,283 --> 00:04:26,485
the United States of America.
124
00:04:26,553 --> 00:04:27,619
Shocking move by the Vice President
125
00:04:27,687 --> 00:04:28,855
to split the ticket, leave the party,
126
00:04:28,922 --> 00:04:30,323
and run against her boss,
127
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:32,725
all while refusing to leave the west wing.
128
00:04:32,792 --> 00:04:35,094
It's certainly historic,
but not unprecedented.
129
00:04:35,162 --> 00:04:37,363
In the 1800 election, Vice
President Thomas Jefferson
130
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:39,431
ran against President John Adams.
131
00:04:39,499 --> 00:04:40,766
Legally, Langston is
well within her rights,
132
00:04:40,834 --> 00:04:43,369
and a very unpopular President Grant
133
00:04:43,436 --> 00:04:44,603
would face an uphill battle trying to go
134
00:04:44,671 --> 00:04:46,137
through congress to remove her from office.
135
00:04:46,205 --> 00:04:48,607
He simply doesn't have
the political capital.
136
00:04:48,675 --> 00:04:51,410
Fitz.
137
00:04:51,478 --> 00:04:52,678
[Sighs]
138
00:04:52,746 --> 00:04:54,380
Cyrus: Sir, with all due respect...
139
00:04:54,447 --> 00:04:55,547
[Glass shatters]
140
00:04:55,615 --> 00:04:57,516
[Gasps]
141
00:04:57,584 --> 00:04:58,716
Do something!
142
00:04:58,784 --> 00:05:00,518
He listens to you.
143
00:05:00,586 --> 00:05:02,020
Fitz.
144
00:05:02,088 --> 00:05:05,090
Fitz, you need to stop drinking.
It's not even lunchtime.
145
00:05:05,157 --> 00:05:08,393
What if Iran declares war on us?
146
00:05:08,460 --> 00:05:09,660
Why don't you ask Sally?
147
00:05:09,728 --> 00:05:12,430
Fitz.
148
00:05:12,498 --> 00:05:15,900
Fitz, look at me!
149
00:05:15,967 --> 00:05:18,269
Yes, this is a setback,
150
00:05:18,336 --> 00:05:19,937
but we simply need to
change the conversation,
151
00:05:20,005 --> 00:05:21,272
get the ball back in our court,
152
00:05:21,339 --> 00:05:22,640
and shore up our support with the base.
153
00:05:22,708 --> 00:05:24,108
We can achieve both those goals
154
00:05:24,175 --> 00:05:25,309
with the right Vice-Presidential pick.
155
00:05:25,377 --> 00:05:26,644
Now, Cyrus and I have drawn up a list...
156
00:05:26,712 --> 00:05:28,413
I've already chosen a new Vice President...
157
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,547
Andrew Nichols.
158
00:05:29,615 --> 00:05:33,550
Nichols? The governor of California?
159
00:05:33,618 --> 00:05:34,952
Your former lieutenant
governor of California.
160
00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:36,253
Sir, that's...
161
00:05:36,321 --> 00:05:40,958
Get Andy on the line. I'll ask him myself.
162
00:05:41,026 --> 00:05:44,461
Fitz, aside from the fact
you hail from the same state,
163
00:05:44,529 --> 00:05:47,497
Nichols is a straight,
white man at a point in time
164
00:05:47,565 --> 00:05:49,032
when you desperately need
to highlight diversity
165
00:05:49,099 --> 00:05:50,500
and especially your support of women...
166
00:05:50,568 --> 00:05:53,102
Andrew Nichols is a man who
has worked under me before.
167
00:05:53,170 --> 00:05:55,371
He's a man who is loyal
and whom I can trust.
168
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,206
Fitz, he is a good man,
169
00:05:57,274 --> 00:05:59,743
but I just don't see how he serves...
170
00:05:59,811 --> 00:06:02,813
Call Nichols today or I will.
171
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,947
That's all.
172
00:06:13,757 --> 00:06:15,191
I said, "that's all."
173
00:06:27,094 --> 00:06:27,994
Cyrus...
174
00:06:28,062 --> 00:06:29,729
I have committed a sin.
175
00:06:29,797 --> 00:06:32,398
It's Daniel Douglas.
176
00:06:32,466 --> 00:06:34,033
He's... he's... I'm forsaken, Cyrus.
177
00:06:34,101 --> 00:06:36,002
My flesh, it's venal and despised.
178
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:39,171
I fear it's time. I
have to give myself over.

Do not give yourself over. D... do not move.
181
00:06:45,212 --> 00:06:46,845
Do not call anyone. I am
coming to you right now.

183
00:06:48,381 --> 00:06:50,483
First, I'm sorry. You were right.
184
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:51,984
She's pretty much admitting
she murdered her husband.
185
00:06:52,051 --> 00:06:53,619
Where did you get that tape?
186
00:06:53,686 --> 00:06:55,954
Doesn't matter. We can't
use it... inadmissible.
187
00:06:56,022 --> 00:06:57,355
Well, in that case, I
guess we're done here.
188
00:06:57,423 --> 00:06:59,091
What? No. Sit down.
189
00:06:59,158 --> 00:07:01,226
I have a job now, Rosen,
in the White House.
190
00:07:01,293 --> 00:07:03,128
And if you haven't noticed,
our plate's pretty full today.
191
00:07:03,195 --> 00:07:04,796
That's just it. You're on the inside now.
192
00:07:04,831 --> 00:07:06,397
You're privy to everything they say.
193
00:07:06,465 --> 00:07:08,199
We just need one unguarded moment
194
00:07:08,267 --> 00:07:09,534
and we can nail these bastards.
195
00:07:09,602 --> 00:07:11,003
Sorry. You're on your own.
196
00:07:11,070 --> 00:07:13,070
Is this your M.O... you
storm into someone's office,
197
00:07:13,139 --> 00:07:14,172
give them the story of the century,
198
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,573
and then bag on them?
199
00:07:15,641 --> 00:07:17,775
Because you've pulled
this crap on me twice now.
200
00:07:17,843 --> 00:07:19,444
I came to you a month
ago with my suspicions,
201
00:07:19,512 --> 00:07:21,679
and you didn't want to
hear it, so I dropped it.
202
00:07:21,747 --> 00:07:23,080
You should do the same.
203
00:07:23,149 --> 00:07:24,749
So, your husband gives
you a sweet government job
204
00:07:24,816 --> 00:07:27,685
and you walk right on
over to the dark side.
205
00:07:27,753 --> 00:07:30,420
Yes, my husband gave me
a sweet government job.
206
00:07:30,488 --> 00:07:33,223
And how exactly does that
differ from what he did for you?

- This is Harrison Wright. I need a favor.
- No.
211
00:07:39,998 --> 00:07:41,532
You haven't even heard it yet.
212
00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:42,867
Enough that I know who's asking for it.
213
00:07:42,934 --> 00:07:44,702
An old friend of mine just
got a visa to come back in
214
00:07:44,770 --> 00:07:46,836
the United States, named Adnan Salif.
215
00:07:46,904 --> 00:07:49,873
- Can you look into it?
- Still no.
216
00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:50,840
I'm serious, Rosen. Please.
217
00:07:50,908 --> 00:07:52,942
I'll see what I can do.

Well, all of South America. Olé, right?
222
00:08:01,986 --> 00:08:04,220
So, that's when I hooked
up with the agency...
223
00:08:04,288 --> 00:08:06,222
a steady paycheck doing something I loved.
224
00:08:06,290 --> 00:08:08,892
Killed two birds... and some people.
225
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:11,861
Well, I'm sure you'll see that in the file.
226
00:08:11,929 --> 00:08:13,697
As the new command, I'm
sitting down with all the agents
227
00:08:13,764 --> 00:08:15,298
to make sure there aren't
gonna be any problems.
228
00:08:15,365 --> 00:08:17,500
Are there going to be
any problems, Charlie?
229
00:08:17,568 --> 00:08:18,767
I take orders from
whoever's wearing the badge.
230
00:08:18,835 --> 00:08:19,835
Keeps it simple.
231
00:08:19,973 --> 00:08:22,742
Good to hear.
232
00:08:26,012 --> 00:08:29,615
One more thing... Quinn Perkins.
233
00:08:29,683 --> 00:08:30,849
Is that a name I should know?
234
00:08:32,319 --> 00:08:34,853
She's a good kid.
235
00:08:34,921 --> 00:08:37,355
Hit a rough patch. I've
been looking out for her.
236

What can I say? Mr. Softy.
237
00:08:40,059 --> 00:08:41,860
I don't know what arrangements
were made before I arrived,

but Quinn Perkins is
not B613, never will be.
239
00:08:44,931 --> 00:08:47,232
And if anything happens to her...
240
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,902
Say no more, boss. No
rocking the boat here.
241
00:08:52,738 --> 00:08:55,307
Andrew Nichols, governor of California,
242
00:08:55,374 --> 00:08:57,208
former lieutenant governor under Grant.
243
00:08:57,276 --> 00:08:58,643
Governor Nichols, I'm
sorry for all the secrecy.
244
00:08:58,711 --> 00:09:00,779
I'm sure you understand the
sensitivity of this meeting.
245

Riding over here in the trunk of a sedan
246
00:09:03,459 --> 00:09:04,949
isn't my favorite way to travel,
247
00:09:05,017 --> 00:09:06,718

Oh, right. So he's a playboy.
254
00:09:16,161 --> 00:09:17,295
Yeah, but he's an age-appropriate playboy,
255
00:09:17,363 --> 00:09:19,196
for the most part, so,
you know, props for that.
256
00:09:19,464 --> 00:09:21,598
So, Governor, tell me
why would you want this?
257
00:09:21,666 --> 00:09:23,667
To run for the Vice President
of the United States...
258
00:09:23,735 --> 00:09:24,768
Isn't it obvious?
259
00:09:24,836 --> 00:09:26,538
You'd have a clean shot to be
in the mix in the next cycle.
260
00:09:26,574 --> 00:09:28,541
Joining this ticket now
you'd be selling yourself,
261

to a long shot with a lot of
baggage. Running with President Grant
262
00:09:31,676 --> 00:09:32,877
could destroy your brand beyond repair.
263
00:09:33,545 --> 00:09:35,612
My brand? I wouldn't
be Governor... anything.
264
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:38,482
I wouldn't have a brand if it
weren't for Fitzgerald Grant.
265
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:40,951

My solution is for you
to talk him out of it.

00:10:09,646 --> 00:10:11,947
Impossible. He's closing
ranks. Loyalty above all.

- It's why he put Jake Ballard in charge of B613.

- They do.

But I liked it here.
297
00:10:43,012 --> 00:10:46,515
I liked the quote.

Going down in that plane crash
302
00:11:00,562 --> 00:11:02,130

maybe... instead of being
terrified to die, she was brave.
304
00:11:05,967 --> 00:11:08,068
Maybe it wasn't so bad.

you instead of telling me

- What?
- That I know what happened!

00:11:58,485 --> 00:12:01,153
That I'm sorry, dad.
321
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:04,857
You know what happened. [Chuckles]

No, you have no idea what happened.

You have no idea what
is currently happening.
324

You're skipping around
in a field full of bombs
325
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:15,634

The married man you can't
seem to stay away from
329

had me abducted and locked me up in chains
330
00:12:27,779 --> 00:12:29,214
and spoke to me about the way you taste
331
00:12:29,281 --> 00:12:31,349
while he allowed the
terrorist who snaked her way
332
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,552
into my marriage bed
to clear U.S. air space.
333
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:37,255
What happened was the man you screwed
334
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:40,025
betrayed me by freeing the
woman who gave birth to you
335
00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:41,459
as a bargaining chip.
336
00:12:41,527 --> 00:12:44,996
What happened was the man who defiled you
337
00:12:45,063 --> 00:12:49,834
also defiled an organization
that I gave my soul to build.
338
00:12:49,902 --> 00:12:52,169
That is what happened.
339
00:12:52,237 --> 00:12:53,704
What is currently happening
340
00:12:53,772 --> 00:12:57,608
is that President
Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III
341
00:12:57,676 --> 00:12:59,010
has made an enemy...
342
00:12:59,077 --> 00:13:03,713
the worst kind of enemy,
because I know all his secrets.
343
00:13:03,781 --> 00:13:07,184
I know where every body is buried.
344
00:13:07,252 --> 00:13:11,955
And the greatest weapon I can
use against him calls me "dad."
345
00:13:12,023 --> 00:13:15,225
Uncommon valor was a common virtue.
346
00:13:15,293 --> 00:13:16,760
The thing about that quote, Olivia,
347
00:13:16,827 --> 00:13:19,529
is that is from the good old days.
348
00:13:19,597 --> 00:13:22,498
It no longer applies.
Today everyone is afraid.
349
00:13:22,567 --> 00:13:24,701
Everyone should be afraid.
350
00:13:24,769 --> 00:13:26,770
The President should be very afraid.
351
00:13:26,837 --> 00:13:31,240
And if I were you, Olivia,
I would be terrified.
352
00:13:31,308 --> 00:13:33,109
I would pick up whatever
chips you have left
353
00:13:33,177 --> 00:13:36,546
and run as far away as possible
354
00:13:36,613 --> 00:13:40,550
from that burning building
known as the White House.
355
00:13:40,617 --> 00:13:43,619
Run, Olivia. Run.
356
00:13:43,687 --> 00:13:45,754
Because, mark my words, Fitzgerald Grant
357
00:13:45,822 --> 00:13:48,023
is not going to make it
to the end of his term.
358
00:13:51,795 --> 00:13:52,895
You wouldn't dare.
359
00:13:52,963 --> 00:13:54,663
Watch me.
360
00:14:01,337 --> 00:14:04,106
Start grieving now, Olivia.
361
00:14:04,173 --> 00:14:06,641
Rend your garments, curse the heavens.
362
00:14:06,709 --> 00:14:09,010
It will save you time down the road.
363
00:14:09,078 --> 00:14:11,980
But first, run.
364
00:14:26,521 --> 00:14:28,122
[Indistinct conversations]
365
00:14:28,190 --> 00:14:29,523
[Cellphone chimes]
366
00:14:49,043 --> 00:14:52,279
Oh. This one? Yeah. Don't be nervous.
367
00:14:52,347 --> 00:14:54,848
I'm not nervous. Worry about yourself.
368
00:14:54,916 --> 00:14:56,783
Me? Nervous? No. Distracted? Slightly.
369
00:14:56,851 --> 00:14:59,252
Who could blame me? [Chuckles]
370
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,720
I know you're not nervous,
371
00:15:00,788 --> 00:15:01,988
but you might want to
convince your forehead of that.
372
00:15:02,056 --> 00:15:03,756
- It's mighty shiny.
- Ha. Nice try, Bergen.
373
00:15:03,825 --> 00:15:06,126
Nose, too. Mm.
374
00:15:06,194 --> 00:15:08,128
Could you bring makeup to set?
I think she's having a little...
375
00:15:08,196 --> 00:15:09,863
There's no time. We're on in 10 seconds.
376
00:15:09,931 --> 00:15:11,331
Don't sweat it.
377
00:15:11,398 --> 00:15:14,634
I mean, don't further
sweat it. You look fine.
378
00:15:14,702 --> 00:15:17,102
Regardless of legality, this reckless move
379
00:15:17,170 --> 00:15:19,290
by Sally Langston threatens
our standing in the world.
380
00:15:19,306 --> 00:15:20,540
That's ridiculous.
381
00:15:20,607 --> 00:15:22,007
Sally Langston is doing one thing
382
00:15:22,075 --> 00:15:23,409
and one thing only... her job.
383
00:15:23,477 --> 00:15:25,311
If Vice President Langston
thinks she can run the country
384
00:15:25,379 --> 00:15:26,813
better than President Grant,
385
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,148
then she's free to run against
him during the general election,
386
00:15:29,216 --> 00:15:31,783
but she can't trash him outside
the gates of the White House,
387
00:15:31,852 --> 00:15:34,186
while working as the second
in command in the west wing.
388
00:15:34,254 --> 00:15:35,520
Again, it's reckless behavior.
389
00:15:35,588 --> 00:15:36,755
You want to talk reckless?
390
00:15:36,823 --> 00:15:38,343
How about hiring your alleged mistress,
391
00:15:38,391 --> 00:15:39,892
Olivia Pope, as your campaign manager?
392
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,461
Uh, I'm s...
393
00:15:42,528 --> 00:15:45,163
Those unsubstantiated rumors
394
00:15:45,231 --> 00:15:46,832
were put to bed months ago when...
395
00:15:46,899 --> 00:15:48,433
[Chuckling] Um, that is an
interesting choice of words.
396
00:15:48,501 --> 00:15:50,101
Am I right, Ashley?
397
00:15:50,169 --> 00:15:51,503
Leo, are you seriously
accusing President Grant
398
00:15:51,571 --> 00:15:52,804
of having an affair with Olivia Pope,
399
00:15:52,872 --> 00:15:54,473
even after the President himself
400
00:15:54,540 --> 00:15:55,841
named Jeannine Locke as his mistress?
401
00:15:55,908 --> 00:15:58,142
Who's to say he had just one mistress?
402
00:15:58,210 --> 00:15:59,778
He's a handsome man with appetites.
403
00:15:59,846 --> 00:16:03,147
I choose not to underestimate
President Grant in these matters.
404
00:16:03,215 --> 00:16:05,049
[Indistinct shouting]
405
00:16:09,221 --> 00:16:11,455
Reporter: So, are you
saying that there's no truth
406
00:16:11,523 --> 00:16:14,092
to a romantic relationship
between the President and Ms. Pope?
407
00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:16,460
This question has been asked
and answered to death months ago.
408
00:16:16,528 --> 00:16:17,895
Why hasn't the President made a statement?
409
00:16:17,962 --> 00:16:19,997
[Indistinct shouting]
410
00:16:20,064 --> 00:16:21,365
Again, I refuse to answer
411
00:16:21,433 --> 00:16:22,733
any questions regarding
Leo Bergen's comments.
412
00:16:22,801 --> 00:16:24,635
We need to hit back fast.
413
00:16:24,703 --> 00:16:26,670
Change the story. Leak some dirt on Sally.
414
00:16:26,738 --> 00:16:29,239
If I had dirt, don't you think
I'd have dumped it by now?
415
00:16:29,307 --> 00:16:31,275
- Vanessa.
- Why hasn't Daniel Douglas Langston's
416
00:16:31,342 --> 00:16:33,143
autopsy report been released to the public?
417
00:16:33,211 --> 00:16:34,411
I'm not sure why it would be.
418
00:16:34,478 --> 00:16:35,979
His medical records are government records,
419
00:16:36,047 --> 00:16:37,480
yet they've been sealed
off from the public.
420
00:16:37,548 --> 00:16:38,715
Why is that?
421
00:16:38,783 --> 00:16:40,117
I'll have to take that question.
422
00:16:40,184 --> 00:16:42,819
Would there be a reason
that the White House
423
00:16:48,026 --> 00:16:49,592
Leo: The entire White House press corps
424
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:52,862
is pouring gasoline on
the Fitz/Olivia Pope fire.
425
00:16:52,930 --> 00:16:55,164
Your approvals are up 6 points,
Twitter's got you trending,
426
00:16:55,232 --> 00:16:58,367
and the radio is playing "Mustang Sally."
427
00:16:58,436 --> 00:17:00,476
Ride, Sally, ride... they're
calling you a Maverick.
428
00:17:00,538 --> 00:17:02,539
The lies are unspooling, Leo.
429
00:17:02,606 --> 00:17:03,973
Someone knows about Daniel Douglas.
430
00:17:04,041 --> 00:17:05,481
Someone knows and there are questions
431
00:17:05,543 --> 00:17:07,343
and the lies are unspooling
and they will snare us
432
00:17:07,411 --> 00:17:08,945
and bring us down in
the fire of God's wrath.
433
00:17:09,012 --> 00:17:10,246
It is over.
434
00:17:10,314 --> 00:17:13,015
Sally... we've talked about this.
435
00:17:13,083 --> 00:17:15,551
It is because I turned
my back on the faithful
436
00:17:15,618 --> 00:17:17,553
- and condoned abortion.
- Abortion? Really?
437
00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:19,088
Because when I stop and rank
438
00:17:19,156 --> 00:17:20,389
the things you've done sin-wise...
439
00:17:20,457 --> 00:17:21,737
I did not murder my husband, Leo.
440
00:17:22,993 --> 00:17:25,327
The devil murdered my husband
when he snuck inside me.
441
00:17:25,394 --> 00:17:26,862
And the reason I was not vigilant,
442
00:17:26,930 --> 00:17:28,330
the reason that I did not rise up
443
00:17:28,397 --> 00:17:30,098
and turn the devil away from my gate
444
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:31,467
is that he distracted me.
445
00:17:31,534 --> 00:17:32,615
With pride, he distracted me
446
00:17:32,635 --> 00:17:34,436
into turning my back on my flock,
447
00:17:34,504 --> 00:17:37,238
into abandoning the innocent unborn.
448
00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:39,708
I was distracted, and I
let the devil inside of me,
449
00:17:39,776 --> 00:17:41,642
and he used my hand as a vessel of murder,
450
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:42,978
a vessel of sin.
451
00:17:45,581 --> 00:17:47,182
- Sir, please.
- It's all right, sweetheart. I work here.
452
00:17:47,249 --> 00:17:48,749
Since we're neighbors now,
453
00:17:48,817 --> 00:17:51,052
I thought I'd stroll
down the hall and say hi.
454
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:53,154
I'm calling security.
455
00:17:53,222 --> 00:17:54,990
There's no electioneering
in the White House.
456
00:17:55,057 --> 00:17:56,991
Special assistant to the Vice President.
457
00:17:57,058 --> 00:17:58,258
Anyway, nobody follows that rule.
458
00:17:58,326 --> 00:17:59,527
We do.
459
00:17:59,595 --> 00:18:01,562
Is that why Olivia
Pope's roaming the halls?
460
00:18:01,630 --> 00:18:03,898
[Sighs]
461
00:18:03,966 --> 00:18:06,734
What do you want, Leo?
462
00:18:06,802 --> 00:18:07,902
It's nice in here.
463
00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:09,670
The art's a little old man-y for my taste,
464
00:18:09,738 --> 00:18:11,706
but I'm sure I could have
them hip it up for me.
465
00:18:11,773 --> 00:18:12,907
You and your candidate
466
00:18:12,975 --> 00:18:15,175
are on a bullet train
to political oblivion.
467
00:18:15,243 --> 00:18:17,811
I've got two words for you... Ralph Nader.
468
00:18:17,879 --> 00:18:19,746
[Scoffs] Oh, wait!
Two more... Ross Perot.
469
00:18:19,814 --> 00:18:21,615
Try these two... Teddy Roosevelt.
470
00:18:21,682 --> 00:18:23,017
He lost his third-party race.
471
00:18:23,084 --> 00:18:24,418
His face is on a Mountain.
472
00:18:24,486 --> 00:18:26,920
Don't push me, Leo.
473
00:18:26,988 --> 00:18:28,322
[Chuckles]
474
00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:31,324
I know Sally Langston very
well, and I have no qualms
475
00:18:31,392 --> 00:18:33,660
about exposing her for
the pro-life, homophobic,
476
00:18:33,728 --> 00:18:36,295
raging bitch that she really is.
477
00:18:36,363 --> 00:18:38,798
As opposed to the corpse-moving
obstructor of justice that you are?
478
00:18:38,866 --> 00:18:41,334
That's right. She told me what she did.
479
00:18:41,402 --> 00:18:43,436
More importantly, what you did.
480
00:18:43,504 --> 00:18:46,072
So, go ahead. Get right on that.
481
00:18:50,544 --> 00:18:51,865
So, what did he say, specifically?
482
00:18:51,912 --> 00:18:53,679
Just that he needed some
time to think about it.
483
00:18:53,747 --> 00:18:54,947
I'll just look for another job.
484
00:18:54,981 --> 00:18:56,916
I'll babysit, wait tables.
485
00:18:56,983 --> 00:18:59,218
Hey. We both know how
great you'd be in B613.
486
00:18:59,286 --> 00:19:02,155
We just got to give command
some time to realize it, too.
487
00:19:02,222 --> 00:19:04,690
In the meantime, great thing
about our line of work...
488
00:19:04,758 --> 00:19:07,026
rock-solid job stability.
489
00:19:07,093 --> 00:19:08,894
I mean, as long as people
have to live together,
490
00:19:08,962 --> 00:19:10,763
someone's gonna pay to
have someone else killed.
491
00:19:10,830 --> 00:19:12,731
Fact of life.
492
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:15,834
Anyway, when I get depressed,
I always like to go shopping.
493
00:19:15,902 --> 00:19:17,770
Can I help you two find something?
494
00:19:17,837 --> 00:19:20,338
Yeah, we're outfitting my
girlfriend's first tool box.
495
00:19:20,406 --> 00:19:22,740
- Oh.
- You know, so she can put up some bookshelves.
496
00:19:22,808 --> 00:19:25,377
- Every home needs a great set of tools.
- [Chuckles]
497
00:19:25,445 --> 00:19:27,379
Truer words, Terry. Truer words.
498
00:19:27,447 --> 00:19:29,714
- [Cellphone rings]
- Oh.
499
00:19:29,782 --> 00:19:31,383
- [Beep]
- Hey, boss.
500
00:19:31,451 --> 00:19:33,685
I need a mop-up job on
your last assignment.
501
00:19:33,752 --> 00:19:35,820
Can I still count on you for
some under-the-table work.
502
00:19:35,888 --> 00:19:37,154
Of course.
503
00:19:37,222 --> 00:19:38,656
Wouldn't want that yelp review
504
00:19:38,724 --> 00:19:40,844
to say I was anything less
than thorough and discreet.
505
00:19:40,859 --> 00:19:42,560
- Looks like the dry spell's over.
- Really?
506
00:19:42,628 --> 00:19:45,196
What did I say? There's always work.
507
00:19:45,263 --> 00:19:46,831
Do you have power drills around here?
508
00:19:46,899 --> 00:19:48,566
Maybe something in a blow torch?
509
00:19:48,634 --> 00:19:49,834
For a book shelf?
510
00:19:49,902 --> 00:19:51,535
We're big readers.
511
00:19:53,605 --> 00:19:56,140
Bye! See you tomorrow!
512
00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:57,941
Hi, Billy. Hey!
513
00:19:58,009 --> 00:19:59,577
Hey... oh, wait up.
514
00:19:59,644 --> 00:20:01,678
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.
515
00:20:01,746 --> 00:20:03,266
[Chuckles] I'm not a stranger, silly.
516
00:20:03,281 --> 00:20:04,448
I know your mom.
517
00:20:04,516 --> 00:20:05,749
She asked me to pick you up, take you home.
518
00:20:05,817 --> 00:20:07,418
- She had to work late.
- How do you know my mom?
519
00:20:07,486 --> 00:20:08,685
Through your sister, Caitlin,
520
00:20:08,753 --> 00:20:09,920
who plays softball with my little sister,
521
00:20:09,988 --> 00:20:11,755
but she's not as good as Caitlin.
522
00:20:11,823 --> 00:20:13,790
Caitlin is, like, really good, right?
523
00:20:13,858 --> 00:20:15,826
Yeah, she's got a bunch of trophies.
524
00:20:15,893 --> 00:20:17,227
Really? That's pretty cool.
525
00:20:17,294 --> 00:20:20,396
Maybe you can show me her
trophies when I take you home?
526
00:20:22,299 --> 00:20:24,801
That is, after we get ice cream.
527
00:20:24,869 --> 00:20:26,136
It'll be our secret.
528
00:20:30,241 --> 00:20:31,807

529

[Engine turns over]
531
00:20:51,064 --> 00:20:52,331
James: I looked like an incompetent fool.
532
00:20:52,398 --> 00:20:53,932
How am I supposed to
do my job when I haven't
533
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,600
the faintest idea of what the
hell is going on around here?
534
00:20:55,668 --> 00:20:57,635
James. Why wasn't there an
autopsy on Daniel Douglas?
535
00:20:57,703 --> 00:20:59,071
I need to know, Cyrus.
536
00:20:59,138 --> 00:21:00,705
In order for me to stand
up there on that podium,
537
00:21:00,773 --> 00:21:02,374
I need to know what not to say.
538
00:21:02,441 --> 00:21:03,976
We are not having this conversation.
539
00:21:04,043 --> 00:21:06,778
Oh, God! [Sighs]
540
00:21:06,846 --> 00:21:09,547
Look at our baby, Cyrus. Look at her!
541
00:21:09,615 --> 00:21:13,951
Do you honestly think I would
do anything to jeopardize her?
542
00:21:14,019 --> 00:21:15,953
I'm on your side here, so why don't you
543
00:21:16,021 --> 00:21:18,256
just tell me the truth
and let me protect you?
544
00:21:18,323 --> 00:21:20,492
Refer any questions about
Daniel Douglas Langston's
545
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:22,960
unfortunate death to the
office of the Vice President.
546
00:21:23,028 --> 00:21:26,430
That's what you say. That's all you say.
547
00:21:28,166 --> 00:21:29,466
He ambushed me.
548
00:21:29,534 --> 00:21:30,902
I had no idea he was gonna
make you the headline.
549
00:21:30,969 --> 00:21:33,137
He went low, which just
means we have to go lower.
550
00:21:33,205 --> 00:21:34,939
I want you and huck to
dig up everything we can
551
00:21:35,007 --> 00:21:36,274
on the death of Sally's husband.
552
00:21:36,341 --> 00:21:37,608
Are you saying there was a cover-up?
553
00:21:37,675 --> 00:21:39,176
I'm saying there could
be more to the story.
554
00:21:39,244 --> 00:21:40,911
A question came up in the
press room today from a reporter
555
00:21:40,978 --> 00:21:42,178
claiming there was never an autopsy.
556
00:21:42,246 --> 00:21:44,247
Huck: Looks like the reporter was right.
557
00:21:44,315 --> 00:21:47,451
Coroner's report says Langston
died of natural causes, no autopsy.
558
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,486
There's also no record
of who looked at the body.
559
00:21:49,554 --> 00:21:52,055

Can I help you?
562
00:21:57,561 --> 00:21:58,628
Hi. We're from The Post.
563
00:21:58,695 --> 00:21:59,762
We just had a few quick questions
564
00:21:59,830 --> 00:22:01,031
about the coroner's report you prepared
565
00:22:01,098 --> 00:22:02,532
on Daniel Douglas Langston.
566
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:06,702
Mr. Langston's blood had
elevated levels of troponin.
567
00:22:06,770 --> 00:22:09,239
I'm confident he died
of sudden cardiac arrest.
568
00:22:09,307 --> 00:22:10,840
Do you still have those results?
569
00:22:10,908 --> 00:22:14,276
I shouldn't be talking to you guys.
570
00:22:14,344 --> 00:22:15,544
Oh, this is all off the record.
571
00:22:15,579 --> 00:22:16,579
Just let us take a look at those tests
572
00:22:16,647 --> 00:22:18,147
and we'll be out of your hair.
573
00:22:18,214 --> 00:22:19,916
They're gone.
574
00:22:19,983 --> 00:22:22,017
I destroyed them.
575
00:22:22,085 --> 00:22:25,120
I ran those tests against
the Vice President's wishes.
576
00:22:28,158 --> 00:22:29,524
What's that?
577
00:22:29,592 --> 00:22:31,026
It's New York times best-seller material.
578
00:22:31,094 --> 00:22:31,770
Couldn't put it down.
579
00:22:31,772 --> 00:22:34,096
Just two young lovers in Mexico
on the hunt for cheap oxy.
580
00:22:34,164 --> 00:22:36,065
That was a long time ago.
581
00:22:36,132 --> 00:22:37,599
I didn't even know my boyfriend
582
00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:39,201

583
00:22:39,269 --> 00:22:40,802
Just tell us how Langston died, Linda.

[Sighs]
585
00:22:45,175 --> 00:22:48,510
He was a big drinker.
586
00:22:48,578 --> 00:22:51,780
The night he died, he took
a spill in the bathroom,
587
00:22:51,848 --> 00:22:53,648
smashed his head on the toilet.
588
00:22:53,716 --> 00:22:57,251
Massive brain bleed.
589
00:22:57,319 --> 00:22:58,920
I don't blame the Vice President
590
00:22:58,988 --> 00:23:00,989
for wanting to keep that quiet.
591
00:23:01,056 --> 00:23:04,258
I really felt for her.

I looked into your
friend Adnan for you. And?

And I'm afraid deportation's not an option.
606
00:23:50,571 --> 00:23:52,338
I called my contact at Immigration,
607
00:23:52,406 --> 00:23:54,340
and apparently Salif's visa was issued
608
00:23:54,408 --> 00:23:55,842
from pretty high on the hill.

powerful friends than you do.

those Daniel Douglas rumors?

down, I go down, too.

You want to worry about
something? Worry about this.

You need to focus on the big picture,

husband to at least appear

to prefer you to his alleged mistress.

My husband can't be sleeping
with you if we're friends.

Because I like it when my
husband is the President.

across the finish line,

00:27:54,158 --> 00:27:55,892
just 'cause everyone else here is.
704
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,560
We are the normal ones. You and me.
705
00:27:57,628 --> 00:27:59,528
If we need to borrow a gun, we ask.
706
00:27:59,597 --> 00:28:00,897
Also, why do you need it?
707
00:28:02,532 --> 00:28:05,068
Adnan sent me that picture today.
708
00:28:05,135 --> 00:28:06,535
It's a business trip to Dubai.
709
00:28:06,604 --> 00:28:08,137
Adnan had a deal, so we went to help.
710
00:28:08,205 --> 00:28:11,240
The other three people,
J.C., Hammer, and Ivy...
711
00:28:11,308 --> 00:28:12,508
all dead now.
712
00:28:12,576 --> 00:28:14,096
So, what? This is some sort of warning?
713
00:28:16,313 --> 00:28:17,346
It's a promise.
714
00:28:17,414 --> 00:28:20,416
Do you even know how to use it?
715
00:28:20,484 --> 00:28:21,950
The safety and the clip
716
00:28:22,018 --> 00:28:23,219
and how you're not supposed
to tuck it in your waistband
717
00:28:23,286 --> 00:28:24,806
or else you could shoot off your penis?
718
00:28:26,389 --> 00:28:27,656
I know how a gun works, Abby.
719
00:28:35,765 --> 00:28:37,099
[Sighs]
720
00:28:37,166 --> 00:28:40,068
Just... be careful, okay?
721
00:28:40,903 --> 00:28:42,704
Fitz: So, you're testing
me in front of an audience
722
00:28:42,772 --> 00:28:44,506
to... what?... Get my "Q" rating.
723
00:28:44,573 --> 00:28:46,341
I'm trying to get past your problem.
724
00:28:46,408 --> 00:28:48,176
- I didn't know I had one.
- You're a playboy.
725
00:28:48,244 --> 00:28:49,744
[Chuckles] Come on.
726
00:28:49,811 --> 00:28:51,146
That's what people who date
727
00:28:51,213 --> 00:28:52,713
starlets and socialites
and supermodels get called.
728
00:28:52,781 --> 00:28:54,115
One supermodel...
729
00:28:54,183 --> 00:28:56,151
plus one who was just swimsuit.
730
00:28:56,218 --> 00:28:57,519
And another one... runway.
731
00:28:57,586 --> 00:28:59,420
That you even know those
distinctions is a problem.
732
00:28:59,488 --> 00:29:00,788
I've also dated C.E.O.s.
733
00:29:00,856 --> 00:29:02,457
But you don't get photographed with them.
734
00:29:02,524 --> 00:29:05,793
Like it or not, you're polling
as shallow, commitment-phobic,
735
00:29:05,861 --> 00:29:08,295
closed off, unrelatable,
and therefore unelectable.
736
00:29:08,363 --> 00:29:09,596
So let's get started.
737
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:10,698
[Beep]
738
00:29:10,766 --> 00:29:12,566
So, why haven't you settled down?
739
00:29:12,634 --> 00:29:14,702
The truth is I love my work,
740
00:29:14,770 --> 00:29:17,171
and I tend to fall for women
who also love their work.
741
00:29:17,238 --> 00:29:19,339
Let's try again.
742
00:29:19,407 --> 00:29:21,875
- Okay, but the answer will be the same.
- Then we'll keep trying.
743
00:29:21,942 --> 00:29:23,544
- I'm telling you the truth here.
- Maybe you believe it.
744
00:29:23,611 --> 00:29:25,612
Maybe you've been telling
that lie for so long
745
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,181
that you've forgotten the truth.
746
00:29:27,248 --> 00:29:28,549
Let's try this... what
do you want me to say?
747
00:29:28,616 --> 00:29:30,317
That you're gay. That you're a mama's boy.
748
00:29:30,385 --> 00:29:31,618
That you find the idea of monogamy
749
00:29:31,686 --> 00:29:33,187
to be naive and unnatural.
750
00:29:33,254 --> 00:29:34,815
Anything but the practiced canned answer
751
00:29:34,855 --> 00:29:36,222
you're trying to peddle me.
752
00:29:36,290 --> 00:29:37,691
- This is ridiculous.
- What are you afraid of?
753
00:29:37,758 --> 00:29:39,092
Why haven't you settled down?
754
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,360
I had my chance, okay? I
had my chance and I lost it.
755
00:29:44,198 --> 00:29:46,066
I let her go. So I moved on.
756
00:29:46,133 --> 00:29:48,267
I married my job instead,
and I take great pride
757
00:29:48,335 --> 00:29:50,603
in what I've done for the
millions of Californians
758
00:29:50,671 --> 00:29:51,937
who have put their trust in me.
759
00:29:52,005 --> 00:29:53,272
And, hey, down the line,
760
00:29:53,340 --> 00:29:55,007
maybe I'll get another
shot at marriage. Who knows?
761
00:29:55,075 --> 00:29:56,542
But what I do know
762
00:29:56,610 --> 00:29:59,445
is that I'm not marrying
somebody I don't love.
763
00:29:59,513 --> 00:30:00,753
And if that makes me unsuitable
764
00:30:00,814 --> 00:30:03,482
for the vice presidency, so be it.
765
00:30:05,285 --> 00:30:07,753
- Mr. President, Olivia Pope is here.
- Send her in.
766
00:30:07,821 --> 00:30:10,155
Thank you, Lauren. Can you
close the door on your way out?
767
00:30:10,223 --> 00:30:12,124
Lauren, could you leave the door open?
768
00:30:12,192 --> 00:30:15,493
- Door closed, Lauren.
- Door open, Lauren.
769
00:30:15,561 --> 00:30:18,230
I... I don't know what to...
770
00:30:18,297 --> 00:30:20,432
Door open, Lauren.
771
00:30:23,669 --> 00:30:24,603
Really?
772
00:30:24,670 --> 00:30:25,903
Really.
773
00:30:25,971 --> 00:30:27,505
And you stand there.
774
00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:37,716
I have all the numbers
back on Andrew Nichols.
775
00:30:37,783 --> 00:30:40,284
- And?
- They're good.
776
00:30:40,352 --> 00:30:41,485
He's good.
777
00:30:41,553 --> 00:30:43,020
But?
778
00:30:43,088 --> 00:30:45,289
Look, you want him.
779
00:30:45,357 --> 00:30:47,391
And I can spin it. I can make it work.
780
00:30:47,459 --> 00:30:52,096
I can sell it to the people,
and you'll seem loyal and good
781
00:30:52,164 --> 00:30:55,099
and like you made a great
choice, but you didn't.
782
00:30:55,167 --> 00:30:58,101
He's wrong. My gut tells me he's wrong.
783
00:30:58,169 --> 00:31:00,070
- And mine tells me he's right.
- You don't do this for a living.
784
00:31:00,138 --> 00:31:01,838
You don't run elections for a living.
785
00:31:01,906 --> 00:31:04,708
I am President for a living, Liv. Come on.
786
00:31:04,776 --> 00:31:06,777
I should resign.
787
00:31:06,844 --> 00:31:08,512
Oh, Liv.
788
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:11,081
The rumors about us are
on every news channel,
789
00:31:11,149 --> 00:31:12,716
at the top of every hour.
790
00:31:12,784 --> 00:31:14,484
We're the headline.
791
00:31:14,551 --> 00:31:17,420
I can't do my job. I can't
run your campaign if...
792
00:31:17,488 --> 00:31:19,022
The news cycle will change.
793
00:31:19,090 --> 00:31:20,757
They'll find something else to chew on.
794
00:31:20,825 --> 00:31:22,358
Your wife took me to lunch
795
00:31:22,426 --> 00:31:26,963
and handed me a list of
eligible men I could date.
796
00:31:27,031 --> 00:31:28,031
What?!
797
00:31:28,099 --> 00:31:29,666
She wants me to get a boyfriend,
798
00:31:29,733 --> 00:31:33,202
have someone on my arm
for show, like some k...
799
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,508
I should resign.
800
00:31:38,575 --> 00:31:41,577
You are not gonna start
dating some man for show.
801
00:31:41,645 --> 00:31:44,814
And you are not resigning.
802
00:31:44,881 --> 00:31:46,161
As far as the press is concerned,
803
00:31:46,216 --> 00:31:49,151
I am a physical reminder of the fact
804
00:31:49,219 --> 00:31:50,186
that you were unfaithful to your wife.
805
00:31:50,253 --> 00:31:51,187
I am a liability.
806
00:31:51,254 --> 00:31:53,355
Fitz, door open.
807
00:31:53,423 --> 00:31:55,858
This is not... door o...
808
00:31:59,896 --> 00:32:01,630
[Gasps]
809
00:32:01,698 --> 00:32:04,433
You are not resigning.
810
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:09,338
I refuse to accept your resignation.
811
00:32:09,405 --> 00:32:12,106
You can't leave me.
812
00:32:12,174 --> 00:32:14,409
I am not losing you again.
813
00:32:29,992 --> 00:32:32,894
Why did you put Jake in charge of B613?
814
00:32:32,962 --> 00:32:34,595
Who told you that I put...
815
00:32:34,663 --> 00:32:38,399
You made Jake the head of B613.
816
00:32:38,467 --> 00:32:40,668
You know what that place is
like, you know what it does,
817
00:32:40,702 --> 00:32:43,937
and you made Jake command.
818
00:32:44,005 --> 00:32:44,872
Why?
819
00:32:47,275 --> 00:32:48,476
Why?!
820
00:32:48,543 --> 00:32:52,445
I killed 329 innocent people.
821
00:32:52,513 --> 00:32:55,148
I let an international
terrorist, your mother,
822
00:32:55,216 --> 00:32:57,650
out of the country, and
she killed three more.
823
00:32:57,718 --> 00:32:59,786
And no one knows where she is.
824
00:32:59,854 --> 00:33:01,621
If I have any hope of remaining President,
825
00:33:01,689 --> 00:33:03,590
then it needs to stay buried,
826
00:33:03,657 --> 00:33:06,360
and there's only one man I
trust to guard that grave.
827
00:33:06,427 --> 00:33:10,697
Jake Ballard.
828
00:33:10,765 --> 00:33:12,499
[Chuckles]
829
00:33:12,566 --> 00:33:15,502
What?
830
00:33:15,569 --> 00:33:20,874
You are stressed, and you are scared.
831
00:33:20,941 --> 00:33:23,009
And you want this...
832
00:33:23,076 --> 00:33:25,411
you want to win this election
so bad, you can't breathe.
833
00:33:25,478 --> 00:33:27,479
And I understand that.
834
00:33:30,984 --> 00:33:32,952
But you don't trust me.
835
00:33:33,020 --> 00:33:35,721
- I trust you!
- Andrew Nichols is wrong.
836
00:33:35,789 --> 00:33:37,623
- He is not wrong!
- Like I said!
837
00:33:37,690 --> 00:33:40,026
I trust you! I need you!
838
00:33:40,093 --> 00:33:41,493
You want to win this election,
839
00:33:41,561 --> 00:33:43,228
and you can't do that if I...
840
00:33:43,296 --> 00:33:45,531
You are not resigning.
841
00:33:45,598 --> 00:33:47,766
I won't win without you.
842
00:34:00,779 --> 00:34:03,248
Liv.
843
00:34:03,316 --> 00:34:04,816
Liv!
844
00:34:04,883 --> 00:34:08,453
I'm not resigning. I'll be here.

[Door creaks]

00:34:35,015 --> 00:34:36,983
Put that away. You look ridiculous.
850
00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:42,889
I don't want to use this.
851
00:34:42,956 --> 00:34:43,956
But I will.
852
00:34:44,024 --> 00:34:45,792
No, you won't.
853
00:34:45,859 --> 00:34:48,161
- Adnan.
- I just want to talk.
854
00:34:48,228 --> 00:34:52,398
About your future, about
how we can help each other.
855
00:34:52,465 --> 00:34:55,567
I missed you so much, Harrison.
856
00:35:27,633 --> 00:35:29,367
Nice family.
857
00:35:29,435 --> 00:35:31,703
I mean, could use a mommy, but...
858
00:35:31,770 --> 00:35:34,210
I'll give you exactly one second
to get your feet off my desk.
859
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,506
Or what?
860
00:35:35,574 --> 00:35:36,641
Or I'll cut them off and
shove them down your throat.
861
00:35:36,709 --> 00:35:38,108
Size 11 1/2?
862
00:35:38,176 --> 00:35:39,811
I seriously doubt my feet
would fit down my throat.
863
00:35:39,878 --> 00:35:41,546
I'm not talking about your
feet, you baby-faced twit.
864
00:35:41,613 --> 00:35:43,481
I'm talking about your balls.
Have they even dropped yet?
865
00:35:43,549 --> 00:35:45,950
Will you miss them when they're gone?
866
00:35:46,017 --> 00:35:47,585
Up.
867
00:35:51,223 --> 00:35:53,757
Now out.
868
00:35:53,825 --> 00:35:55,326
We need to talk about the leak.
869
00:35:55,393 --> 00:35:57,394
- We don't need...
- Vanessa Chandler...
870
00:35:57,462 --> 00:36:00,430
Someone is spilling the Daniel
Douglas files into her ear.
871
00:36:00,498 --> 00:36:01,531
She has a deep throat.
872
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:03,067
Maybe it's me.
873
00:36:03,134 --> 00:36:04,534
You're my enemy.
874
00:36:04,602 --> 00:36:07,036
You would be unworthy of that
title if you were that stupid.
875
00:36:07,104 --> 00:36:10,073
All you need to know is I'm working on it.

No, see, we're working on it.

00:36:17,014 --> 00:36:18,181
We're working on it.
880
00:36:18,249 --> 00:36:20,484
Good. Fine.
881
00:36:20,551 --> 00:36:23,586
So, who else knows? Who
did you have do cleanup?
882
00:36:23,653 --> 00:36:24,921
Cleanup was professional.
883
00:36:25,059 --> 00:36:26,292
Secret Service.
884
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,763
I thought you said you were dropping this?
885
00:36:30,831 --> 00:36:32,999
I tried the dark side.
Turns out you were right.
886
00:36:33,067 --> 00:36:34,400
Didn't suit me.
887
00:36:34,468 --> 00:36:37,370
This whole time, you've been
standing up on that podium,
888
00:36:37,438 --> 00:36:39,037
playing the good soldier.
889
00:36:39,105 --> 00:36:42,608
[Sighs]
890
00:36:42,676 --> 00:36:45,478
My husband's a monster, David.
891
00:36:45,545 --> 00:36:48,280
He's brilliant and ego-maniacal
892
00:36:48,348 --> 00:36:50,616
and has done more to thwart the rule of law
893
00:36:50,684 --> 00:36:52,417
than you and I will probably ever know.
894
00:36:52,486 --> 00:36:55,854
He's a monster. And he's powerful.
895
00:36:55,921 --> 00:36:58,457
And he thinks he doesn't have a weakness.
896
00:36:58,524 --> 00:37:01,159
But he does.
897
00:37:01,227 --> 00:37:03,028
Me.
898
00:37:03,096 --> 00:37:05,697
And I will do whatever it takes...
899
00:37:05,764 --> 00:37:08,533
play the good soldier
and stand on the podium
900
00:37:08,601 --> 00:37:12,837
and sleep beside him
for as long as it takes
901
00:37:12,905 --> 00:37:16,340
to take that monster down.
902
00:37:16,408 --> 00:37:18,510
- Starting with this.
- It's a good start,
903
00:37:18,577 --> 00:37:20,745
but the problem is it's still inadmissible.
904
00:37:20,813 --> 00:37:22,647
Legally, at least one of the parties
905
00:37:22,715 --> 00:37:25,049
needs to know they're being recorded.
906
00:37:25,117 --> 00:37:27,418
And God help whoever it is who's
been leaking this stuff to the press.
907
00:37:27,486 --> 00:37:29,820
If these guys figure out who
that reporter's source is,
908
00:37:29,888 --> 00:37:31,188
they're as good as dead.
909
00:37:34,692 --> 00:37:36,394
Oh, God.
910
00:37:36,461 --> 00:37:39,997
James, please tell me you're not.
911
00:37:40,065 --> 00:37:43,401
I am Publius.
912
00:37:43,468 --> 00:37:45,669
[Knock on door]
913
00:37:58,016 --> 00:38:00,517
[Sighs]
914
00:38:00,584 --> 00:38:04,220
Got a night off from ruling the underworld?
915
00:38:04,288 --> 00:38:07,890
Liv, I received an order
from my commander in chief.
916
00:38:07,958 --> 00:38:09,426
I couldn't say no, and I didn't want to.
917
00:38:09,493 --> 00:38:12,662
I can run that organization
better than rowan ever did.
918
00:38:12,729 --> 00:38:14,097
There are good men and women
919
00:38:14,165 --> 00:38:15,932
who deserve a leader they can trust.
920
00:38:15,999 --> 00:38:19,902
Someone who... [Sighs]
921
00:38:19,970 --> 00:38:21,571
I can do better, Liv. I know I can.
922
00:38:24,507 --> 00:38:26,676
You need to give me back Quinn.
923
00:38:26,743 --> 00:38:28,010
I don't have her.
924
00:38:28,078 --> 00:38:29,511
Would you tell me if you did?
925
00:38:29,580 --> 00:38:31,981
Or would that be classified,
one of the many secrets
926
00:38:32,049 --> 00:38:34,349
you're going to have to
keep in order to be command.
927
00:38:36,553 --> 00:38:39,488
Liv, I can find your
mother. Bring her to justice.
928
00:38:39,556 --> 00:38:40,755
We both know what your father would do
929
00:38:40,823 --> 00:38:41,990
if he were still in charge.
930
00:38:42,058 --> 00:38:43,925
My father wasn't always a monster.
931
00:38:43,993 --> 00:38:45,561
He started out just like you,
932
00:38:45,628 --> 00:38:48,530
trying to do the right thing,
trying to keep us all safe.
933
00:38:48,598 --> 00:38:49,731
I couldn't say no.
934
00:38:49,799 --> 00:38:51,132
- You could.
- I couldn't!
935
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,602
I serve at the pleasure of the
President of the United States.
936
00:38:53,669 --> 00:38:55,336
Don't we all?!
937
00:38:55,404 --> 00:38:57,005
[Sighs]
938
00:38:57,073 --> 00:38:59,474
Serving the Republic.
939
00:38:59,541 --> 00:39:03,511
I always thought it was a
good thing... a great thing.
940
00:39:03,579 --> 00:39:06,214
True service, a calling.
941
00:39:06,281 --> 00:39:08,249
Now I think...
942
00:39:08,317 --> 00:39:13,154
I think it eats at you until
you are not you anymore,
943
00:39:13,222 --> 00:39:17,658
until you are lost, until you
can't remember who you were,
944
00:39:17,726 --> 00:39:18,792
until you forget yourself,
945
00:39:18,860 --> 00:39:21,295
and all you can see is the greater good.
946
00:39:21,363 --> 00:39:23,296
All you can see is God and country.
947
00:39:23,364 --> 00:39:25,198
And you're so busy being a patriot,
948
00:39:25,266 --> 00:39:28,135
you forget to be a person.
949
00:39:30,939 --> 00:39:32,039
Liv, what's wrong?
950
00:39:32,107 --> 00:39:33,907
Nothing.
951
00:39:33,975 --> 00:39:38,545
Just... Vermont keeps getting
further and further away.
952
00:39:38,613 --> 00:39:40,213
[Sighs]
953
00:39:40,281 --> 00:39:41,948
Vermont?
954
00:39:46,487 --> 00:39:47,987
[Sighs]
955
00:39:52,260 --> 00:39:54,727
So, are you?
956
00:39:54,795 --> 00:39:56,562
[Sighs]
957
00:39:56,630 --> 00:39:57,730
Am I what?
958
00:39:57,798 --> 00:40:00,499
Are you a patriot?
959
00:40:10,044 --> 00:40:14,079
Mellie: And, yes, it's been
quite a year for Fitz and me,
960
00:40:14,147 --> 00:40:16,615
ups and downs,
961
00:40:16,683 --> 00:40:18,083
I have never been more proud of my husband
962
00:40:18,151 --> 00:40:20,619
- for his unbridled dedication...
- What were you thinking?
963
00:40:20,687 --> 00:40:22,683
- ... To the citizens of this great nation.
- You are angry, but I did the right thing,
964
00:40:22,684 --> 00:40:23,684
and you know I did.
965
00:40:23,557 --> 00:40:26,124
There are no more questions
about our relationship.
966
00:40:26,193 --> 00:40:27,526
But I have some questions about yours.
967
00:40:27,594 --> 00:40:28,634
I thought you trusted Jake.
968
00:40:28,662 --> 00:40:29,861
This is a bad idea.
969
00:40:29,929 --> 00:40:31,997
It's how I can stay.
970
00:40:32,065 --> 00:40:33,565
But you all didn't come to see me.
971
00:40:33,632 --> 00:40:35,300
You came to see my husband,
972
00:40:35,367 --> 00:40:37,736
the President of the
United States of America,
973
00:40:37,804 --> 00:40:40,238
Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III!
974
00:40:40,306 --> 00:40:41,306
[Cheers and applause]
975
00:40:48,046 --> 00:40:49,947
Thank you.
976
00:40:50,015 --> 00:40:52,149
Thank you all very much.
977
00:40:52,218 --> 00:40:53,451
Thank you so much.
978
00:40:53,519 --> 00:40:55,720
I'm very happy to be here with you tonight,
979
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:58,289
to make an historic announcement.
980
00:40:58,357 --> 00:41:00,057
Now, some of you may have heard
981
00:41:00,125 --> 00:41:01,392
that I've recently found myself
982
00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:03,694
in the market for a new running mate.
983
00:41:03,762 --> 00:41:05,696
Who is it?! Who is it?! Who is it?!
984
00:41:05,764 --> 00:41:07,098
Hey. Look who's back on her feet.
985
00:41:07,165 --> 00:41:08,365
Leo!
986
00:41:08,433 --> 00:41:10,400
Sit down, have a sweet tea, enjoy the show.
987
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:11,589
It doesn't matter who it is,
988
00:41:11,636 --> 00:41:15,039
because Papa Bergen is on it.
989
00:41:15,107 --> 00:41:17,407
Sorry about that. Wow!
990
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:18,609
You know, I never realized
991
00:41:18,676 --> 00:41:20,009
people like you actually existed.
992
00:41:20,077 --> 00:41:21,837
I don't know whether
to be excited or scared.
993
00:41:21,879 --> 00:41:24,013
Both.
994
00:41:24,081 --> 00:41:25,349
You should be both.
995
00:41:25,416 --> 00:41:28,752
There's a particular value I looked for
996
00:41:28,819 --> 00:41:29,919
when making the tough decision
997
00:41:29,987 --> 00:41:31,821
of selecting my new running mate.
998
00:41:31,889 --> 00:41:35,125
It's a value that the American
people possess in spades.
999
00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:36,960
That value is loyalty.
1000
00:41:39,130 --> 00:41:40,864
Long way from Sacramento.
1001
00:41:40,931 --> 00:41:42,065
You and me both.
1002
00:41:42,133 --> 00:41:43,599
[Both chuckle]
1003
00:41:43,667 --> 00:41:48,304
[Indistinct conversation]
1004
00:41:48,372 --> 00:41:50,213
Madam First Lady, you
look stunning, as always.
1005
00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:52,541
[Chuckles] Thank you, Andrew.
1006
00:41:52,609 --> 00:41:54,677
- Cyrus: Mr. President?
- Be right back.
1007
00:41:54,745 --> 00:41:58,748
[Sighs]
1008
00:41:58,815 --> 00:42:03,051
Every day for the last 12
years, I have dreamed of this.
1009
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:04,453
Being on a ticket?
1010
00:42:06,156 --> 00:42:10,225
Being near you again.
1011
00:42:10,293 --> 00:42:12,928
Fitz: So, without further
ado, I'd like you to meet
1012
00:42:12,996 --> 00:42:15,664
the next Vice President
of the United States,
1013
00:42:15,731 --> 00:42:19,768
my former lieutenant governor
and governor of California,
1014
00:42:19,836 --> 00:42:22,370
a man I consider a brother
as much as a friend,
1015
00:42:22,438 --> 00:42:24,406
Governor Andrew Nichols!
1016
00:42:24,473 --> 00:42:25,394
[Cheers and applause]
