1
00:00:01,791 --> 00:00:03,259
(Fitz)
That wasn't a mistake.
2
00:00:04,226 --> 00:00:05,994
That was betrayal.
We are done.
3
00:00:06,061 --> 00:00:07,561
Previously on "Scandal"...
4
00:00:07,629 --> 00:00:09,263
(Mike) The bartender saw you
leaving McGhee's together
5
00:00:09,331 --> 00:00:10,998
the night she was
stabbed to death.
6
00:00:11,065 --> 00:00:12,833
(David) She'd just started
downloading my Defiance files
7
00:00:12,901 --> 00:00:13,768
when she died.
(Computer beeps)
8
00:00:13,836 --> 00:00:17,036
There's high-level classified
military intelligence on there.
9
00:00:17,104 --> 00:00:18,971
(Cyrus) Four Americans have
been kidnapped abroad.
10
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:21,107
They're our top C.I.A. assets
in the region, Mr. President.
11
00:00:21,175 --> 00:00:22,509
Do you want to tell me
how they got their hands
12
00:00:22,576 --> 00:00:24,444
- on legitimate U.S. operatives?
- We have a mole.
13
00:00:24,812 --> 00:00:26,078
(Olivia)
So what is your thing?
14
00:00:26,146 --> 00:00:28,682
People watching.
How's 8:00 on Friday sound?
15
00:00:28,749 --> 00:00:30,149
See you then,
captain Ballard.
16
00:00:39,259 --> 00:00:40,759
(Switch clanks)
17
00:01:03,515 --> 00:01:07,184
(Indistinct conversation)
18
00:01:07,252 --> 00:01:10,787
(Sighs)
19
00:01:10,856 --> 00:01:12,589
I'm so sorry.
This is not...
20
00:01:12,657 --> 00:01:14,458
I'm not a late person,
21
00:01:14,525 --> 00:01:16,593
and I don't want you to think
our meeting isn't a priority.
22
00:01:16,661 --> 00:01:18,095
- It's a date.
- What?
23
00:01:18,163 --> 00:01:20,130
You said "meeting."
I'm not a client.
24
00:01:20,198 --> 00:01:22,298
I don't have a problem.
I don't need fixing.
25
00:01:22,366 --> 00:01:25,468
I asked you out.
You said yes. We dressed up.
26
00:01:25,535 --> 00:01:27,136
At the end of the evening,
if all goes well,
27
00:01:27,204 --> 00:01:29,405
there will be... kissing.
28
00:01:29,473 --> 00:01:30,974
This is not a meeting.
This is a date. (Paper rips)
29
00:01:31,041 --> 00:01:32,842
And I don't want to insult you.
You chose this restaurant.
30
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:34,110
I'm sure the food is very good.
31
00:01:34,178 --> 00:01:35,644
But this is not
a date restaurant.
32
00:01:35,712 --> 00:01:37,746
We can't have a date here.
This is where dates go to die.
33
00:01:37,813 --> 00:01:39,982
(Chair scrapes floor)
34
00:01:40,049 --> 00:01:41,917
You look extraordinary,
by the way.
35
00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:45,520
So let's go.
36
00:01:53,795 --> 00:01:56,931
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
37
00:01:56,999 --> 00:01:59,066
Tell me this is not
a fantastic spot for a date.
38
00:01:59,101 --> 00:02:00,868
It's not bad.
39
00:02:00,936 --> 00:02:02,203
You're hard to please.
40
00:02:02,271 --> 00:02:04,372
I like that.
I like a challenge.
41
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,208
- What's albatross?
- I'm sorry. What?
42
00:02:07,242 --> 00:02:09,009
Wendy was working on
something called albatross,
43
00:02:09,076 --> 00:02:10,476
and I'm guessing that since
she reached out to you,
44
00:02:10,544 --> 00:02:11,844
that you know what it is.
45
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:14,281
Wow, you really suck at dating.
46
00:02:14,382 --> 00:02:15,848
I never said this was a date,
you did.
47
00:02:15,917 --> 00:02:17,650
- Ouch.
- Albatross.
48
00:02:17,684 --> 00:02:19,185
We are on date,
49
00:02:19,253 --> 00:02:21,021
from which I will give you
a 30 second break
50
00:02:21,122 --> 00:02:22,989
to answer your question.
That is all, okay?
51
00:02:23,057 --> 00:02:24,857
Go.
52
00:02:24,925 --> 00:02:27,459
Couple of years ago,
a guy from the state department
53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,495
gets busted selling classified
documents to Tehran.
54
00:02:30,596 --> 00:02:32,298
Pretty big deal, made
even bigger by the fact
55
00:02:32,365 --> 00:02:34,300
that the day they were going
to issue his arrest warrant,
56
00:02:34,367 --> 00:02:36,501
he pulls into his parking
spot on K street
57
00:02:36,536 --> 00:02:38,670
and blows his brains out
with a colt .38.
58
00:02:38,738 --> 00:02:40,372
Now, the guy says
in his suicide note
59
00:02:40,407 --> 00:02:41,539
that he was framed,
that he wasn't the mole,
60
00:02:41,606 --> 00:02:42,974
he didn't know
who the mole was,
61
00:02:43,075 --> 00:02:44,642
didn't know anything about him,
except for the fact
62
00:02:44,743 --> 00:02:46,344
that he went by an alias.
63
00:02:46,412 --> 00:02:47,946
Albatross.
64
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:49,480
Now, no one believed the guy.
65
00:02:49,548 --> 00:02:51,649
The case was airtight,
but the story became a legend.
66
00:02:51,716 --> 00:02:53,251
So now, whenever anyone in
the intelligence community
67
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:56,087
- messes up
- They blame it on albatross.
68
00:02:56,121 --> 00:02:57,720
So, when Wendy was
reaching out to you......
69
00:02:57,788 --> 00:02:59,122
No, no, your time is up.
The date is back on.
70
00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:00,490
- Captain Ballard...
- Jake.
71
00:03:00,558 --> 00:03:02,193
All my dates call me "Jake."
72
00:03:03,861 --> 00:03:05,228
You do not give up.
73
00:03:05,296 --> 00:03:07,797
I'm a Navy man.
Navy men do not give up.
74
00:03:07,865 --> 00:03:09,599
- Neither do I.
- Like I said,
75
00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:11,768
I like a challenge.
76
00:03:15,939 --> 00:03:17,606
(Cell phone chimes)
77
00:03:17,675 --> 00:03:19,976
(Chimes)
78
00:03:20,044 --> 00:03:23,479
(Chimes)
79
00:03:23,547 --> 00:03:24,513
(Beep)
80
00:03:24,581 --> 00:03:25,548
Hello?
81
00:03:27,217 --> 00:03:28,417
I'll be right there.
82
00:03:28,485 --> 00:03:29,851
Ten minutes.
83
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,486
(Beep) Date's over.
84
00:03:31,554 --> 00:03:33,021
Thought this wasn't a date.
85
00:03:33,089 --> 00:03:34,422
I was being nice.
86
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:36,858
- Mm.
- Good night, captain.
87
00:03:36,926 --> 00:03:38,727
Jake.
88
00:03:38,795 --> 00:03:43,298
(Footsteps depart)
89
00:03:43,365 --> 00:03:44,900
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
90
00:03:44,967 --> 00:03:46,300
- Day eight.
- Fitz...
91
00:03:46,367 --> 00:03:48,368
Day eight!
They're running a damn tally
92
00:03:48,436 --> 00:03:50,604
of the most glaring failure
of my presidency
93
00:03:50,672 --> 00:03:52,639
on every network on a loop,
94
00:03:52,708 --> 00:03:54,441
while we, for all apparent
purposes, do nothing.
95
00:03:54,509 --> 00:03:56,577
You are doing everything
to get those hostages back safe.
96
00:03:56,644 --> 00:03:58,045
It's not your fault
the intelligence
97
00:03:58,113 --> 00:03:59,947
simply isn't there.
98
00:04:00,015 --> 00:04:02,248
What if you
reached out personally
99
00:04:02,316 --> 00:04:04,383
- to the families, told them...
- What?
100
00:04:04,451 --> 00:04:06,252
That we have no clue
where their loved ones are,
101
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,154
who exactly has them
or how to get them back?
102
00:04:08,222 --> 00:04:11,324
But, you know,
tie another ribbon.
103
00:04:11,391 --> 00:04:13,793
You need a break.
You haven't been sleeping. (Exhales)
104
00:04:13,861 --> 00:04:15,995
This thing has been consuming you
day and night. (Pouring drink)
105
00:04:16,063 --> 00:04:18,030
Don't wait up.
I have work to do.
106
00:04:18,098 --> 00:04:19,064
(Kisses)
107
00:04:22,401 --> 00:04:24,903
(Door opens and closes)
108
00:04:27,207 --> 00:04:28,907
- He's here, sir.
- Send him in.
109
00:04:33,746 --> 00:04:34,879
(Sighs)
110
00:04:36,815 --> 00:04:39,851
Mr. President, sir.
111
00:04:39,918 --> 00:04:41,418
(Door closes)
112
00:04:43,421 --> 00:04:44,822
Son of a bitch.
113
00:04:44,890 --> 00:04:47,125
"Mr. President"... I'll never
get over saying that.
114
00:04:47,192 --> 00:04:48,592
Jake.
115
00:04:50,494 --> 00:04:51,895
- How are you?
- I'm good.
116
00:04:51,963 --> 00:04:53,196
You want a drink?
117
00:04:53,264 --> 00:04:54,297
We're drinking.
118
00:04:56,533 --> 00:04:59,269
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
119
00:04:59,336 --> 00:05:02,672
sync and corrections by bellows
www.addic7ed.com
120
00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:04,207
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
121
00:05:04,275 --> 00:05:06,475
Someone's following you?
122
00:05:06,542 --> 00:05:07,676
Yes.
123
00:05:07,744 --> 00:05:09,544
(Door closes)
(Sniffs) All of a sudden?
124
00:05:09,612 --> 00:05:11,180
(Clears throat)
How do you know?
125
00:05:11,248 --> 00:05:12,381
Just I know.
It's a feeling.
126
00:05:12,449 --> 00:05:13,750
- Can you describe them?
- That's easy.
127
00:05:13,817 --> 00:05:15,818
They're very scary
and extremely invisible.
128
00:05:15,986 --> 00:05:17,119
I have no idea
what they look like.
129
00:05:17,187 --> 00:05:18,988
I see a car in my rearview
mirror, and I hear
130
00:05:19,055 --> 00:05:20,956
footsteps behind me.
I turn around, they're gone.
131
00:05:21,024 --> 00:05:22,657
Well, if this phantom menace
is real, as long as they
132
00:05:22,724 --> 00:05:24,125
think Wendy's flash drive
is still out there,
133
00:05:24,193 --> 00:05:26,527
they're gonna stop
until they k...
134
00:05:26,595 --> 00:05:29,197
Until they kill me? That's what
you were gonna say, right?
135
00:05:29,265 --> 00:05:30,564
Smooth.
136
00:05:30,632 --> 00:05:32,500
(Inhales) Ugh!
(David sighs)
137
00:05:32,567 --> 00:05:34,502
We need to find out
what albatross is.
138
00:05:34,569 --> 00:05:35,837
(Olivia) He's a mole.
A made-up one,
139
00:05:35,905 --> 00:05:37,538
as far as the intelligence
community's concerned,
140
00:05:37,606 --> 00:05:39,206
the stuff of legend...
athough given the files
141
00:05:39,274 --> 00:05:40,707
- we found on this flash drive...
- Maybe he really exists.
142
00:05:40,775 --> 00:05:41,909
So this Wendy girl... what?
143
00:05:41,976 --> 00:05:43,177
She... she stole the files
from this guy?
144
00:05:43,244 --> 00:05:45,012
- Realizing what she had,
- Then got killed
145
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:46,313
before she was able
to do anything about it.
146
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:48,916
If this stuff is so top secret,
why aren't we...
147
00:05:48,983 --> 00:05:50,717
(Olivia)
Why aren't we what, Quinn?
148
00:05:50,785 --> 00:05:52,886
Um... (Exhales) Why aren't we
handing them over
149
00:05:52,954 --> 00:05:54,787
- to someone in the administration?
- We don't have all the facts.
150
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:56,823
We also covered up a murder
and messed with a crime scene.
151
00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:58,757
If we turn in that flash drive,
we screw ourselves.
152
00:05:58,826 --> 00:06:00,592
20% of the albatross files
were encrypted.
153
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:02,428
I've got three computers
working on it right now.
154
00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:04,598
- What's the time frame, Huck?
- No, this stuff's from the Pentagon.
155
00:06:04,599 --> 00:06:06,065
They have got firewalls
aside their firewalls.
156
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:08,367
I'll get through them, but we're
talking days, not hours.
157
00:06:08,435 --> 00:06:10,902
Once that's done, we may have
a better idea who our mole is.
158
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:12,170
Well, it's probably the same
person who's following me,
159
00:06:12,238 --> 00:06:13,504
just waiting for
the right moment to shoot me
160
00:06:13,572 --> 00:06:15,540
or run me over or drown me
in my own toilet.
161
00:06:15,607 --> 00:06:17,008
Huck will trail you
for the next couple of days,
162
00:06:17,076 --> 00:06:18,443
make sure you're not in danger.
163
00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:24,316
(Sniffs)
164
00:06:24,383 --> 00:06:26,917
- Does Huck...
- Stink? Yes. To high heaven.
165
00:06:26,985 --> 00:06:28,385
(Door closes) Like he
hasn't showered in days.
166
00:06:28,453 --> 00:06:30,154
At least David will
always know where he is.
167
00:06:30,222 --> 00:06:32,556
(Harris and Quinn laugh)
168
00:06:32,623 --> 00:06:34,758
You see any of the guys?
169
00:06:34,826 --> 00:06:36,727
Uh, lucky's C.E.O.
of some big tech firm now.
170
00:06:36,794 --> 00:06:38,329
Patty and Rick...
They fly for the airlines.
171
00:06:38,396 --> 00:06:39,964
You know Coney's teaching
at Annapolis?
172
00:06:40,031 --> 00:06:41,798
Coney is shaping young minds?
(Laughs)
173
00:06:41,866 --> 00:06:43,333
Poor kids.
174
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,934
They all follow you.
175
00:06:45,002 --> 00:06:48,304
They call me, like I've got
some direct line to the Oval...
176
00:06:48,372 --> 00:06:49,805
It's good to see you.
177
00:06:49,874 --> 00:06:51,507
In person, I mean.
178
00:06:51,575 --> 00:06:53,276
You're a hard man to get to these days.
(Inhales)
179
00:06:53,344 --> 00:06:54,744
That's a thing you don't
bank on.
180
00:06:54,811 --> 00:06:56,379
You work your ass off
to get to the White House,
181
00:06:56,446 --> 00:06:58,713
then here you are and...
182
00:06:58,781 --> 00:07:02,184
I didn't count on
the isolation.
183
00:07:03,819 --> 00:07:06,588
It makes you do things.
184
00:07:06,655 --> 00:07:09,457
Color outside the lines.
185
00:07:09,525 --> 00:07:10,959
Fitz...
186
00:07:11,027 --> 00:07:12,594
- You don't have to keep...
- I'm happy to.
187
00:07:12,661 --> 00:07:14,628
I never should have asked
Tom to call you.
188
00:07:14,696 --> 00:07:16,463
I'm happy to do any favor
you ask of me. You know that.
189
00:07:16,531 --> 00:07:18,432
It's done. I'm doing it.
I've been doing it.
190
00:07:22,670 --> 00:07:24,438
- How is she?
- She's good.
191
00:07:24,506 --> 00:07:27,041
Quiet. Makes my job easy.
Spends most of her time working.
192
00:07:27,109 --> 00:07:28,609
She took up swimming recently.
193
00:07:28,676 --> 00:07:30,144
She was on the swim team
in high school. (Chuckles)
194
00:07:30,212 --> 00:07:31,378
Sir?
195
00:07:31,446 --> 00:07:32,880
Nothing. What else?
196
00:07:32,947 --> 00:07:35,482
She reads a lot,
watches the news... a lot.
197
00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:37,718
She doesn't sleep enough.
She's...
198
00:07:39,687 --> 00:07:41,187
What?
199
00:07:41,255 --> 00:07:43,424
She's unhappy.
She doesn't date.
200
00:07:43,491 --> 00:07:45,091
I think maybe the breakup
with senator Davis
201
00:07:45,159 --> 00:07:48,027
- might have been hard on her.
- I don't think so.
202
00:07:48,094 --> 00:07:49,862
I know Davis.
203
00:07:49,930 --> 00:07:52,532
He was serious.
She wasn't.
204
00:07:54,468 --> 00:07:57,136
If you don't mind my asking,
we've made the jump
205
00:07:57,203 --> 00:07:59,639
from photo surveillance
to video surveillance.
206
00:08:01,408 --> 00:08:03,207
That's not a question.
207
00:08:03,275 --> 00:08:05,276
I was wondering why.
208
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,247
I have my reasons.
209
00:08:10,683 --> 00:08:11,983
(Sighs)
210
00:08:12,051 --> 00:08:13,452
Well, it would help
if I knew your reasons.
211
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:14,786
If I'm the one watching
the feed,
212
00:08:14,854 --> 00:08:15,720
I need to know
what to look for.
213
00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:17,656
Have you seen anything yet?
214
00:08:17,723 --> 00:08:20,190
Well, it... might be nothing,
but she could be getting
215
00:08:20,258 --> 00:08:23,226
into something interesting,
possibly dangerous with work.
216
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:26,263
I'm not sure yet.
It's...It's too soon to tell.
217
00:08:26,331 --> 00:08:27,664
(Cap clatters)
218
00:08:27,731 --> 00:08:29,799
Fitz, my professional opinion
is she seems harmless,
219
00:08:29,867 --> 00:08:33,169
so unless this is personal...
220
00:08:33,236 --> 00:08:35,438
You're watching tapes
and looking at photos.
221
00:08:35,506 --> 00:08:36,940
You don't know her.
222
00:08:37,007 --> 00:08:39,642
Olivia Pope is not what she seems.
223
00:08:39,710 --> 00:08:41,344
Of course. I didn't...
I'm s...
224
00:08:41,411 --> 00:08:44,245
I didn't mean to...
It's just I'm... (Sighs)
225
00:08:45,982 --> 00:08:48,517
She's not a good person.
226
00:08:48,585 --> 00:08:50,752
Not the way you think.
227
00:08:50,820 --> 00:08:53,355
And this isn't personal.
Nothing about this is personal.
228
00:08:53,422 --> 00:08:54,957
Of course.
I didn't mean to imply...
229
00:08:55,024 --> 00:08:57,025
No.
I get it.
230
00:08:57,093 --> 00:08:59,259
It's okay.
Just...
231
00:09:01,262 --> 00:09:02,530
Stay on her.
232
00:09:16,313 --> 00:09:17,914
(Both chuckle)
233
00:09:17,982 --> 00:09:19,983
You're still in the office.
Do you know what time it is?
234
00:09:20,050 --> 00:09:22,352
Fun never ends
around here, senator.
235
00:09:22,419 --> 00:09:25,288
- How you been, Liv?
- Busy. And you?
236
00:09:25,356 --> 00:09:28,257
- That's Peter Caldwell of
the Caldwells. - Gold star.
237
00:09:28,324 --> 00:09:29,557
- The Caldwells are clients?
- So?
238
00:09:29,625 --> 00:09:31,626
So they're one of the
dirtiest political dynasties
239
00:09:31,694 --> 00:09:33,362
in American history.
240
00:09:33,429 --> 00:09:35,097
What can I do for you, Peter?
241
00:09:35,164 --> 00:09:37,232
Well, it's not me this time, Liv.
It's my brother... Will.
242
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,234
He's making a play
for the North Carolina
243
00:09:39,302 --> 00:09:41,103
- Governor's mansion.
- I heard.
244
00:09:41,170 --> 00:09:42,737
Congressman Will Caldwell,
heir to the famous
245
00:09:42,805 --> 00:09:44,772
Caldwell republican dynasty.
246
00:09:44,839 --> 00:09:47,108
(Wild cherry) ♪ hey,
once I was a funky singer ♪
247
00:09:47,175 --> 00:09:49,576
So this is where the Caldwell
magic is happening?
248
00:09:49,644 --> 00:09:51,913
Ground zero.
You remember my wife Marion.
249
00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:53,647
Ah. Of course.
Thank you for coming.
250
00:09:53,715 --> 00:09:55,316
Oh, the man of the hour.
251
00:09:55,384 --> 00:09:57,451
Olivia. Back with us again.
What happened?
252
00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:59,652
Chip fall off the wagon?
Josie make another sex tape?
253
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,521
Who's in crisis today?
254
00:10:01,588 --> 00:10:02,822
You are, Will.
255
00:10:02,890 --> 00:10:04,324
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
256
00:10:04,392 --> 00:10:05,558
How's polling?
257
00:10:05,626 --> 00:10:06,793
Got the race in the bag
if he wasn't...
258
00:10:06,860 --> 00:10:08,628
So gay?
259
00:10:08,695 --> 00:10:11,164
I read the gossip rags.
It's my job to be well-informed.
260
00:10:11,232 --> 00:10:12,532
- I'm not gay!
- Will, come on!
261
00:10:12,599 --> 00:10:14,801
- I am not gay!
- Then why are you still single?
262
00:10:14,868 --> 00:10:17,702
I'm sowing my oats.
I don't want to settle down.
263
00:10:17,770 --> 00:10:19,905
You haven't dated anyone
in the last ten years.
264
00:10:19,973 --> 00:10:21,073
And don't tell me
that you have,
265
00:10:21,141 --> 00:10:22,174
because I did my homework on you.
266
00:10:22,242 --> 00:10:23,909
You don't date,
you don't go out,
267
00:10:23,977 --> 00:10:25,978
you don't meet women, and you
don't have sex with anybody.
268
00:10:26,046 --> 00:10:28,247
Why?
269
00:10:28,315 --> 00:10:29,681
The rumors are killing
his chances.
270
00:10:29,749 --> 00:10:31,682
We have a giant
fund-raiser coming up,
271
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:33,751
and our conservative donors
are fleeing for the hills.
272
00:10:33,819 --> 00:10:35,686
Best way to quash rumors
is go with the truth.
273
00:10:35,754 --> 00:10:37,455
Come on, Liv. You can't be
elected a gay Governor
274
00:10:37,522 --> 00:10:38,957
- in a red state.
- Says who?
275
00:10:39,025 --> 00:10:41,993
- You want me to be the first gay
Governor of North Carolina? - Yep.
276
00:10:42,361 --> 00:10:44,095
Well, that'll be difficult,
Olivia, because I'm not gay.
277
00:10:44,163 --> 00:10:45,629
He needs a wife.
278
00:10:45,697 --> 00:10:47,197
We do that?
279
00:10:47,265 --> 00:10:49,099
Peter, I don't need
to get married.
280
00:10:49,167 --> 00:10:50,600
You belong in the
Governor's mansion.
281
00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:52,602
We're just trying to figure out
the best way to get you there.
282
00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:54,671
You sound just like mom.
283
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:56,506
(Abby) Older brother Peter's
a senator from Indiana.
284
00:10:56,574 --> 00:10:58,475
Has four kids with wife Marion.
285
00:10:58,542 --> 00:11:00,710
Peter holds the family together,
and, boy, do they need it.
286
00:11:00,778 --> 00:11:02,412
Sister's the Texas Attorney General
287
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,246
with a coke problem.
288
00:11:04,314 --> 00:11:05,448
Father was Governor
of Tennessee,
289
00:11:05,515 --> 00:11:06,949
bid for the White House.
290
00:11:07,017 --> 00:11:09,085
Failed when they discovered
his secret Canadian family.
291
00:11:09,152 --> 00:11:10,353
♪
292
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:12,821
Fine. Canadian mistress.
But she did have a kid.
293
00:11:12,889 --> 00:11:14,656
Before we go down
the fake wife road,
294
00:11:14,724 --> 00:11:16,625
why don't we ask will
what he wants?
295
00:11:16,693 --> 00:11:19,394
Gay I could work with.
296
00:11:19,462 --> 00:11:21,196
Gay I could get elected.
297
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,864
Gay I could take all the way.
Give me ten years,
298
00:11:22,931 --> 00:11:24,265
and I can make a gay president.
299
00:11:24,333 --> 00:11:25,700
- Will...
- I'm not gay.
300
00:11:25,767 --> 00:11:27,168
So we have a problem,
because this...
301
00:11:27,236 --> 00:11:30,638
Single, celibate, no
women or men anywhere,
302
00:11:30,706 --> 00:11:33,141
no virility, no testosterone,
no passion...
303
00:11:33,209 --> 00:11:34,742
- That's fatal.
- Hold on...
304
00:11:34,810 --> 00:11:36,543
When's the last time
a single man
305
00:11:36,611 --> 00:11:38,212
has been elected
to the Governor's mansion
306
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:39,813
in any state
in the last 40 years?
307
00:11:39,881 --> 00:11:41,281
When?
308
00:11:41,349 --> 00:11:43,250
People don't like a guy
they can't place.
309
00:11:43,318 --> 00:11:45,352
A married man, a widower,
310
00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:48,455
a divorced dad, a gay partner...
They get that.
311
00:11:48,523 --> 00:11:50,824
A single guy
with no sign of anyone?
312
00:11:50,892 --> 00:11:52,625
No love life?
313
00:11:52,692 --> 00:11:54,927
People don't trust it,
and they won't vote for it,
314
00:11:54,995 --> 00:11:56,929
not even the most liberal
of your constituents,
315
00:11:56,997 --> 00:11:58,264
and we're in a red state,
316
00:11:58,332 --> 00:11:59,565
so that's about 20 people
to begin with.
317
00:11:59,633 --> 00:12:01,501
It's an uphill battle
318
00:12:01,568 --> 00:12:03,536
that you don't want to fight,
Will, because you won't win.
319
00:12:03,603 --> 00:12:06,739
You've got this, Will.
You are good at this game.
320
00:12:06,806 --> 00:12:09,274
You could take the Caldwell name
all the way.
321
00:12:09,342 --> 00:12:10,509
The White House.
322
00:12:13,046 --> 00:12:14,079
(Sighs)
323
00:12:14,147 --> 00:12:15,847
What do you think, Marion?
324
00:12:15,915 --> 00:12:17,649
You weren't raised
by political wolves.
325
00:12:17,716 --> 00:12:20,385
You might still
have a soul in there.
326
00:12:20,453 --> 00:12:23,754
This is your dream, Will.
You've worked so hard for it.
327
00:12:23,821 --> 00:12:25,156
Be a shame
to throw it away now.
328
00:12:27,959 --> 00:12:30,661
(Sighs)
329
00:12:30,728 --> 00:12:32,729
Let's find me a fake wife.
330
00:12:32,797 --> 00:12:34,865
♪ Yeah, and they was dancin'
and singin' ♪
331
00:12:34,933 --> 00:12:38,769
So, who wants to marry
into this lovely family?
332
00:12:38,836 --> 00:12:40,937
I was enrolled at Princeton.
Eating club and all.
333
00:12:41,004 --> 00:12:42,905
But I spent all my time
in New York
334
00:12:42,973 --> 00:12:45,308
hunting for fabric, so after
sophomore year I dropped out.
335
00:12:45,376 --> 00:12:47,410
Uh, not to be rude,
but why do you care?
336
00:12:47,478 --> 00:12:50,080
Compatibility will be
important in selling this.
337
00:12:50,147 --> 00:12:51,448
The public's smart.
They've seen
338
00:12:51,515 --> 00:12:53,416
enough fake reality shows
to know from true love.
339
00:12:53,484 --> 00:12:55,117
Plus you'll be spending a lot
of time with this person,
340
00:12:55,185 --> 00:12:57,419
so what do you look for
in a woman?
341
00:12:57,487 --> 00:12:59,054
So your father
was a preacher, right?
342
00:12:59,122 --> 00:13:00,722
Lutheran. Made me stand up
in front of the assembly
343
00:13:00,790 --> 00:13:02,424
every week
and read the bulletin.
344
00:13:02,492 --> 00:13:04,426
Now you're on air for BNC.
Makes sense.
345
00:13:04,494 --> 00:13:06,027
- So you a headhunter?
- (Laughs)
346
00:13:06,096 --> 00:13:08,163
It would help if she understood
my responsibilities
347
00:13:08,231 --> 00:13:09,798
as Governor
will have to come first.
348
00:13:09,865 --> 00:13:11,466
It would help if she was sexy
as hell, too.
349
00:13:11,533 --> 00:13:13,434
Let's start there.
350
00:13:13,502 --> 00:13:15,570
I've never been behind
forcing kids to pray in school.
351
00:13:15,637 --> 00:13:17,138
The point of my op-ed
in the "Sun"
352
00:13:17,206 --> 00:13:20,174
was to simply argue that
we might set aside the time
353
00:13:20,242 --> 00:13:21,275
for the students
who choose to pray.
354
00:13:21,343 --> 00:13:23,978
Who did you say you work for?
355
00:13:24,045 --> 00:13:25,846
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
356
00:13:25,914 --> 00:13:27,581
Where are we with David?
357
00:13:27,648 --> 00:13:28,948
Uh, apartment is clean.
There's no sign
358
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:30,650
of anyone tailing him.
Stay on him just in case.
359
00:13:30,718 --> 00:13:32,018
- Okay.
- Ooh.
360
00:13:32,086 --> 00:13:33,220
Huck?
361
00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:37,557
- You okay?
- Yeah. Why?
362
00:13:38,859 --> 00:13:40,059
No reason.
363
00:13:43,230 --> 00:13:45,264
Whew.
364
00:13:54,807 --> 00:13:57,075
If you're looking for Liv,
365
00:13:57,144 --> 00:13:58,644
everyone went home.
366
00:13:58,711 --> 00:14:01,246
Just killing time.
Huck's checking out my car,
367
00:14:01,313 --> 00:14:04,449
making sure it's not bugged.
368
00:14:09,622 --> 00:14:11,389
(Panting)
369
00:14:11,457 --> 00:14:14,960
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
370
00:14:15,028 --> 00:14:18,896
(Moaning and panting)
371
00:14:18,964 --> 00:14:21,032
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
372
00:14:23,168 --> 00:14:24,835
It isn't just
this hostage situation.
373
00:14:24,903 --> 00:14:26,771
Until you get to the bottom
of this security breach,
374
00:14:26,838 --> 00:14:28,305
I'm virtually paralyzed here!
375
00:14:28,373 --> 00:14:30,741
Any intelligence I get,
any action I take
376
00:14:30,809 --> 00:14:33,242
runs the risk of being
completely compromised.
377
00:14:33,310 --> 00:14:35,344
- Sir...
- I want a full court press.
378
00:14:35,412 --> 00:14:38,214
You eat at your desks,
you don't sleep or go home
379
00:14:38,282 --> 00:14:40,616
until you unearth this guy!
380
00:14:40,685 --> 00:14:42,418
(Sighs)
381
00:14:42,486 --> 00:14:43,820
Cyrus.
382
00:14:43,888 --> 00:14:45,254
There's a situation,
Mr. President.
383
00:14:47,224 --> 00:14:48,490
I must warn you,
what you're about to see
384
00:14:48,558 --> 00:14:50,959
is quite graphic,
extremely disturbing,
385
00:14:51,027 --> 00:14:53,128
and wholly unsuitable
for young audiences.
386
00:14:53,196 --> 00:14:54,563
This footage was sent
to Al-Jazeera this morning.
387
00:14:54,630 --> 00:14:56,298
It's on every network.
388
00:14:56,365 --> 00:14:58,801
(Man speaking foreign language)
389
00:14:58,868 --> 00:15:01,170
(Female translator)
The jihadi will no longer tolerate
390
00:15:01,237 --> 00:15:03,172
the infiltration
of American spies...
391
00:15:03,239 --> 00:15:04,538
Why is he holding
the paper like that?
392
00:15:04,606 --> 00:15:06,941
So we can see the date.
393
00:15:07,009 --> 00:15:08,743
The want us to know
it happened today.
394
00:15:08,811 --> 00:15:10,644
(Man continues in foreign language)
No. No. No. No... no. No.
395
00:15:10,713 --> 00:15:13,314
No! No!
396
00:15:13,381 --> 00:15:16,951
No!
397
00:15:17,019 --> 00:15:18,786
(Knife slices)
Oh, my God, Fitz.
398
00:15:18,854 --> 00:15:21,788
(Stabbing and slicing)
399
00:15:21,856 --> 00:15:23,890
(Squish)
(Man speaking foreign language)
400
00:15:23,958 --> 00:15:25,425
(Translator)
This is the destiny of the others...
401
00:15:25,492 --> 00:15:27,659
- Turn it off.
- Who do not do as we say.
402
00:15:27,728 --> 00:15:29,161
- We will...
- Turn it off.
403
00:15:29,229 --> 00:15:30,529
(Turns off tv)
404
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:48,988
(Birds chirping in distance)
405
00:16:12,076 --> 00:16:12,976
(Beeps)
406
00:16:16,247 --> 00:16:17,181
Olivia Pope.
407
00:16:17,248 --> 00:16:19,016
We need a second date.
408
00:16:19,083 --> 00:16:20,351
- Captain Ballard.
- Jake.
409
00:16:20,419 --> 00:16:21,752
- Jake.
- Hear me out.
410
00:16:21,820 --> 00:16:23,020
You were late to our first date.
411
00:16:23,087 --> 00:16:24,221
You chose a bad restaurant,
412
00:16:24,289 --> 00:16:25,955
forcing me to improvise.
You left early,
413
00:16:26,023 --> 00:16:27,490
and there was no kissing.
414
00:16:27,558 --> 00:16:29,759
You did not get the full
Jake Ballard experience.
415
00:16:29,827 --> 00:16:32,529
You're owed a second date.
416
00:16:32,596 --> 00:16:34,063
I could cheer you up.
417
00:16:34,131 --> 00:16:35,799
What makes you think
I need cheering up?
418
00:16:35,866 --> 00:16:37,367
Well, don't you?
419
00:16:37,435 --> 00:16:39,602
Jake, I don't date.
420
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:41,337
Um, just...
421
00:16:41,404 --> 00:16:43,171
(Breath quavers)
422
00:16:43,239 --> 00:16:45,273
I'm sorry.
I'm just not dating right now.
423
00:16:45,342 --> 00:16:46,342
Why not?
424
00:16:48,044 --> 00:16:49,712
What was his name?
You want me to beat him up for you?
425
00:16:49,779 --> 00:16:52,080
Because clearly he was no good.
426
00:16:52,148 --> 00:16:53,248
Good-bye, Jake.
427
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:54,916
(Phone beeps)
428
00:16:54,984 --> 00:16:57,719
(Beep)
429
00:17:14,769 --> 00:17:16,603
(Monitor clicks)
430
00:17:19,474 --> 00:17:22,542
The White House issued this
statement just after the hour,
431
00:17:22,610 --> 00:17:24,578
saying, and I'm quoting now,
432
00:17:24,645 --> 00:17:27,213
the President deplores
this barbaric act
433
00:17:27,281 --> 00:17:29,682
committed against
an innocent American.
434
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:33,285
The perpetrators must
and will be brought to justice.
435
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:35,688
(Sighs) Tell me we're doing
more than a press release.
436
00:17:35,755 --> 00:17:36,856
This is just
the initial statement.
437
00:17:36,924 --> 00:17:39,224
Fitz is also going to say something
from the Oval. He didn't tell you?
438
00:17:39,292 --> 00:17:40,459
He doesn't tell me
anything these days.
439
00:17:40,527 --> 00:17:42,762
- Ah, Cyrus...
- Words won't be enough.
440
00:17:42,829 --> 00:17:44,862
They cut the head off
of an American, Mellie.
441
00:17:45,030 --> 00:17:46,898
You do not answer that
with a pleasant sonnet.
442
00:17:46,966 --> 00:17:48,666
You get revenge...
blood for blood.
443
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:51,068
Fitz is worried they will
kill another hostage.
444
00:17:51,136 --> 00:17:53,204
The terrorists
are state-sponsored,
445
00:17:53,272 --> 00:17:55,106
if not officially,
then unofficially.
446
00:17:55,173 --> 00:17:56,408
During the day they
may not be drinking tea
447
00:17:56,475 --> 00:17:57,975
with Kashfar intelligence,
448
00:17:58,043 --> 00:17:59,944
but at night they are
sipping from their saucers.
449
00:18:00,012 --> 00:18:01,478
We need to send in drones,
450
00:18:01,546 --> 00:18:03,447
take out a couple
of their top guys.
451
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:05,348
Or a wedding party.
It doesn't matter,
452
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:07,684
just as long as you light
a fire under the Kashfaris.
453
00:18:07,752 --> 00:18:09,152
You hold them accountable,
454
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:11,922
and they will
find the hostages for us.
455
00:18:13,925 --> 00:18:15,759
I'll pass it along.
456
00:18:15,827 --> 00:18:17,860
I'm gonna make sure he knows
this is your idea.
457
00:18:17,928 --> 00:18:19,295
Cy, he can't keep
shutting you out.
458
00:18:19,362 --> 00:18:20,563
You're too valuable.
459
00:18:20,631 --> 00:18:22,765
Well...
460
00:18:22,833 --> 00:18:25,701
Today, I've brought in little
chocolate bars... fun size.
461
00:18:25,769 --> 00:18:28,237
If you get a right answer,
I'll give you one of these bars.
462
00:18:28,305 --> 00:18:29,505
So let's get started.
463
00:18:29,573 --> 00:18:31,674
Who can tell me
who Lyndon Johnson was?
464
00:18:33,208 --> 00:18:35,009
It was in your reading
assignment, guys...
465
00:18:35,077 --> 00:18:36,511
All four pages of it.
(Sighs)
466
00:18:38,614 --> 00:18:40,214
One of our presidents?
467
00:18:40,282 --> 00:18:42,851
Yes. Yes, he was, Darren.
He was one of our presidents.
468
00:18:42,919 --> 00:18:45,119
Our 36th President,
to be exact.
469
00:18:45,187 --> 00:18:47,288
(Loud thud on window)
470
00:18:48,424 --> 00:18:50,558
Dude?
Dude?
471
00:18:50,625 --> 00:18:53,193
Dude?
Dude!
472
00:18:53,261 --> 00:18:55,262
My candy bar?
473
00:18:55,330 --> 00:18:57,197
Right.
474
00:19:26,092 --> 00:19:28,927
(Breathing heavily)
475
00:19:38,737 --> 00:19:41,639
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
476
00:19:41,707 --> 00:19:43,674
I don't get it.
He's gorgeous, successful.
477
00:19:43,741 --> 00:19:44,542
How come he doesn't date?
478
00:19:44,610 --> 00:19:46,077
- He's gay.
- Lots of people don't date.
479
00:19:46,145 --> 00:19:47,845
- He is gay. - Doesn't mean there's
something wrong with him.
480
00:19:48,413 --> 00:19:50,147
There's nothing wrong with it
if he was out of the closet,
481
00:19:50,215 --> 00:19:52,616
- but he's not. - I don't know.
Looks like there's a spark.
482
00:19:52,683 --> 00:19:54,250
Speaking of flammable,
you tell your partner in crime
483
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:55,252
to take a shower yet?
484
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:58,021
I think there might be
something wrong with him.
485
00:19:58,088 --> 00:20:00,490
He's Huck. There's something
very wrong with him.
486
00:20:00,558 --> 00:20:02,458
Doesn't give him a pass
on hygiene.
487
00:20:02,527 --> 00:20:04,093
(Laughs) All right.
488
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:06,563
Nodding, leaning, eye contact.
489
00:20:06,631 --> 00:20:07,931
All good.
(Singsongy) Hey!
490
00:20:07,999 --> 00:20:10,198
(Normal voice)
Come on. Casual touch,
491
00:20:10,266 --> 00:20:12,100
and boom goes the dynamite.
492
00:20:15,304 --> 00:20:16,772
(Speaking inaudibly)
493
00:20:25,113 --> 00:20:28,049
Before you sign
on the dotted line, just...
494
00:20:28,116 --> 00:20:29,684
Take a minute, okay?
495
00:20:29,752 --> 00:20:31,953
(Chuckle) I know what
a political marriage is.
496
00:20:33,321 --> 00:20:34,689
There are upsides...
497
00:20:34,757 --> 00:20:36,558
The money, the houses,
the clothes.
498
00:20:36,625 --> 00:20:38,760
You'll be American royalty.
That's all true.
499
00:20:38,827 --> 00:20:40,961
But you'll also be put
under a microscope.
500
00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:43,096
Every move you make
will be scrutinized
501
00:20:43,164 --> 00:20:44,565
and held up for judgment.
502
00:20:44,632 --> 00:20:45,766
They'll never stop
watching you,
503
00:20:45,834 --> 00:20:47,801
because your life
isn't yours anymore.
504
00:20:47,869 --> 00:20:50,370
It's theirs...
The family's,
505
00:20:50,438 --> 00:20:52,372
because they bought you.
506
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,741
And they're gonna want
what they paid for.
507
00:21:02,282 --> 00:21:04,850
(Man) The Kashfari skies
were ablaze today,
508
00:21:04,918 --> 00:21:08,187
as U.S. drones bombed
key military installations,
509
00:21:08,254 --> 00:21:10,255
a move many Americans
are calling
510
00:21:10,323 --> 00:21:11,691
a much-needed show of strength
511
00:21:11,758 --> 00:21:14,225
on the part of
President Fitzgerald Grant.
512
00:21:14,293 --> 00:21:16,761
Although Kashfari government
officials have denied...(Turns off tv)
513
00:21:16,829 --> 00:21:18,396
(Rain falling)
514
00:21:18,464 --> 00:21:19,998
72 hours,
Mr. Prime Minister...
515
00:21:20,066 --> 00:21:21,432
That's how much time you've got
516
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:23,868
to find the hostages
and deliver them to us alive.
517
00:21:23,936 --> 00:21:26,838
Fail to do that, and I'll order
a second round of strikes.
518
00:21:26,906 --> 00:21:28,606
Have I made myself clear?
519
00:21:28,673 --> 00:21:30,908
Clock starts now.
520
00:21:30,976 --> 00:21:33,343
(Hangs up receiver)
Let's see if he bites.
521
00:21:33,411 --> 00:21:35,045
The press certainly did.
522
00:21:35,113 --> 00:21:39,282
They're calling today's strikes
a much-needed show of strength.
523
00:21:40,952 --> 00:21:42,653
I should listen
to my wife more often.
524
00:21:42,721 --> 00:21:44,187
What?
525
00:21:44,255 --> 00:21:45,788
The strikes were Mellie's idea.
526
00:21:45,856 --> 00:21:47,023
She called it
"blood for blood."
527
00:21:47,091 --> 00:21:48,858
The woman can't handle
a diaper change,
528
00:21:48,926 --> 00:21:51,260
but bombing a village?
No problem.
529
00:21:51,328 --> 00:21:52,795
(Laughter)
530
00:21:52,863 --> 00:21:54,631
Well done, sir.
531
00:21:54,698 --> 00:21:57,966
(Door opens)
(Door closes)
532
00:21:58,034 --> 00:21:59,268
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
533
00:21:59,336 --> 00:22:00,902
Mallory dropped out?
534
00:22:00,970 --> 00:22:02,303
I'm afraid she had
a last-minute change of heart.
535
00:22:02,371 --> 00:22:03,438
And why is that?
536
00:22:06,676 --> 00:22:08,143
Abby!
537
00:22:13,182 --> 00:22:15,717
The Caldwell fund-raiser
is tomorrow.
538
00:22:15,785 --> 00:22:17,652
He needs a woman on his arm.
The woman.
539
00:22:17,719 --> 00:22:19,920
You put us completely
back to square one.
540
00:22:19,988 --> 00:22:21,756
I couldn't just let her...
541
00:22:21,823 --> 00:22:23,691
She didn't know what
she was getting into, Liv.
542
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:25,126
Not every political marriage
ends up with...
543
00:22:25,194 --> 00:22:27,662
Three broken ribs, a busted jaw,
and a restraining order?
544
00:22:27,929 --> 00:22:29,930
I'm sorry.
545
00:22:29,998 --> 00:22:32,232
I look at that family and...
546
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:34,134
it brings it all back.
547
00:22:42,843 --> 00:22:44,477
If one chat with you
is all it took,
548
00:22:44,545 --> 00:22:46,445
she didn't have the
stomach for it anyway.
549
00:22:48,182 --> 00:22:50,783
(Door opens)
550
00:22:50,850 --> 00:22:52,517
(Clicks switch)
551
00:22:56,022 --> 00:22:58,189
(Door closes)
552
00:22:58,256 --> 00:22:59,757
(Thunderclap)
553
00:22:59,825 --> 00:23:01,159
(Distant thud)
554
00:23:01,226 --> 00:23:03,161
(Screeching sound in distance)
555
00:23:04,930 --> 00:23:06,698
(Buttons clicking)
556
00:23:06,765 --> 00:23:09,366
(Windshield wipers squeaking)
557
00:23:09,434 --> 00:23:12,269
(Breathing heavily)
558
00:23:18,275 --> 00:23:22,045
(Line ringing)
559
00:23:22,113 --> 00:23:25,248
(Ringing and squeaking continue)
560
00:23:26,918 --> 00:23:27,951
Come on, Huck.
561
00:23:28,019 --> 00:23:31,587
(Grunting)
562
00:23:31,654 --> 00:23:33,288
(Muffled shout)
563
00:23:33,356 --> 00:23:35,324
(Gasping)
564
00:23:35,391 --> 00:23:36,792
(Screaming) (Gasps)
565
00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:39,762
(Ringing and squeaking continue)
566
00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:41,764
(Continues grunting)
567
00:23:41,832 --> 00:23:43,966
(Female voice) You have reached
the voice mailbox of...
568
00:23:44,034 --> 00:23:45,399
(Sighs) (Beeps)
569
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:47,102
(Footsteps approaching)
570
00:23:47,169 --> 00:23:50,004
(Panting)
571
00:23:53,075 --> 00:23:55,877
(Gasps) Please don't hurt me!
572
00:23:55,945 --> 00:23:57,812
I know who killed Wendy.
573
00:24:06,287 --> 00:24:07,655
I'm sorry I followed you.
574
00:24:07,723 --> 00:24:09,823
It's called stalking.
And thank you, by the way,
575
00:24:09,891 --> 00:24:11,858
for putting your phone on
vibrate and taking a nap.
576
00:24:11,927 --> 00:24:14,161
- I don't nap. - Or whatever it is
you did while I was being stalked.
577
00:24:14,329 --> 00:24:15,962
David!
Why were you following him?
578
00:24:16,031 --> 00:24:19,499
I just wanted to talk.
I-I know you didn't kill Wendy.
579
00:24:19,566 --> 00:24:21,700
- How? - Because she said
she really liked him.
580
00:24:21,768 --> 00:24:25,204
Wendy was my best friend.
We told each other everything.
581
00:24:25,272 --> 00:24:27,040
And she knew she had
something really big.
582
00:24:27,107 --> 00:24:28,474
She knew someone wanted
to kill her for it.
583
00:24:28,542 --> 00:24:30,276
- Did she know who?
- There was this guy...
584
00:24:30,344 --> 00:24:31,777
I don't know who it was.
585
00:24:31,845 --> 00:24:33,646
I saw them fighting
outside her house once.
586
00:24:33,713 --> 00:24:35,213
He was threatening her.
587
00:24:35,281 --> 00:24:37,282
He s-said he wanted
whatever she had on him.
588
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:38,583
That had to be him.
589
00:24:38,651 --> 00:24:41,786
But the thing is,
he knows I know.
590
00:24:41,854 --> 00:24:44,122
He saw me watching,
and now she's dead,
591
00:24:44,190 --> 00:24:47,025
and I'm the only one who
knows who killed her.
592
00:24:47,093 --> 00:24:48,393
Do you think
he'll try and kill me?
593
00:24:52,932 --> 00:24:55,833
Harrison, Abby, keep prepping
Gayle and will for the gala.
594
00:24:55,901 --> 00:24:59,003
Huck, put Molly somewhere safe,
and see if there are any
595
00:24:59,071 --> 00:25:00,471
security cams
outside Wendy's house
596
00:25:00,539 --> 00:25:01,739
that could give us a
visual on this guy.
597
00:25:01,807 --> 00:25:03,575
Maybe we can I.D. him.
598
00:25:04,843 --> 00:25:06,343
What do you think?
599
00:25:06,411 --> 00:25:08,144
Take her to the safe house,
or spring for a room
600
00:25:08,212 --> 00:25:09,746
at the Stanworth?
601
00:25:09,814 --> 00:25:12,415
Uh, do whatever you want.
602
00:25:12,483 --> 00:25:16,219
(Door opens and closes)
603
00:25:16,287 --> 00:25:19,522
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
604
00:25:19,591 --> 00:25:21,424
- She backed out?
- It happens sometimes.
605
00:25:21,492 --> 00:25:22,893
They think they're on
board, and when it's time
606
00:25:22,961 --> 00:25:24,126
to pull the trigger,
they balk.
607
00:25:24,194 --> 00:25:25,494
But we have a very
strong runner-up.
608
00:25:25,562 --> 00:25:26,863
She'll be ready in time
for the fund-raiser.
609
00:25:27,130 --> 00:25:28,365
(Marion) No.
Enough is enough.
610
00:25:28,632 --> 00:25:31,033
- First choice, yes, it's worth
the risk, but... - Marion.
611
00:25:31,101 --> 00:25:32,267
This is Will's wife we're
talking about here.
612
00:25:32,335 --> 00:25:34,137
If he rushes into this
with this woman,
613
00:25:34,205 --> 00:25:36,238
- and then next week decides he
hates her... - He'll get a divorce.
614
00:25:36,306 --> 00:25:38,140
I know you have my best
interests at heart,
615
00:25:38,208 --> 00:25:39,808
but the gala tomorrow night...
That's my shot.
616
00:25:39,875 --> 00:25:41,275
(Cell phone chimes) Those are
the people whose wallets
617
00:25:41,343 --> 00:25:42,844
pick our party's leaders.
618
00:25:42,912 --> 00:25:44,713
This second choice of ours...
She good, Liv?
619
00:25:44,780 --> 00:25:46,615
Because we're gonna need
a real charmer now.
620
00:25:46,682 --> 00:25:48,016
Who does she need to charm?
621
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:49,651
The President of the United States
622
00:25:49,819 --> 00:25:51,720
just agreed to be our keynote
speaker tomorrow night.
623
00:25:51,787 --> 00:25:53,054
(Exhales)
624
00:25:53,122 --> 00:25:53,989
(Chuckles)
625
00:25:56,092 --> 00:25:58,826
Can't you send someone
else to the Caldwell gala?
626
00:25:58,893 --> 00:26:01,095
Mellie, the Vice President,
Secretary of Agriculture...
627
00:26:01,163 --> 00:26:03,131
- Anyone.
- I didn't even know about it.
628
00:26:03,198 --> 00:26:05,366
I had no idea
he was even going.
629
00:26:05,434 --> 00:26:07,435
- You're kidding me.
- I'm completely out of the loop, Liv.
630
00:26:07,503 --> 00:26:08,802
But it's not the knife
in my back
631
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:10,404
that is upsetting to me.
632
00:26:10,472 --> 00:26:12,139
It's the size of the knife
in my back.
633
00:26:12,206 --> 00:26:14,608
It's the... enormous knife,
634
00:26:14,675 --> 00:26:18,345
- being stabbed over and over
and over. - Cyrus.
635
00:26:18,412 --> 00:26:19,946
She's got him.
He looks to her.
636
00:26:20,014 --> 00:26:22,815
He leans on her.
He's her guy now.
637
00:26:22,883 --> 00:26:24,618
Maybe that's how it should be.
638
00:26:24,685 --> 00:26:27,920
She's his wife.
She's the mother of his children.
639
00:26:27,988 --> 00:26:30,589
This is Mellie we're talking about.
640
00:26:30,657 --> 00:26:34,059
(Sighs) Whatever you feel about
Fitz, whatever happened,
641
00:26:34,127 --> 00:26:36,595
leaving him to Mellie...
That is low, Liv.
642
00:26:36,663 --> 00:26:38,697
Cyrus.
643
00:26:38,765 --> 00:26:43,035
Yeah, I-I know.
I'm sorry. It's just...
644
00:26:43,102 --> 00:26:45,770
I almost don't know
who I am without him.
645
00:26:45,837 --> 00:26:47,639
It's like...
(Sighs)
646
00:26:47,706 --> 00:26:49,374
I don't know what
to do with my hands,
647
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:50,941
and she's shoving me
out the door.
648
00:26:51,009 --> 00:26:52,777
I can't figure out
how to fight her.
649
00:26:52,844 --> 00:26:55,713
(Thunder rumbling in distance)
650
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:02,153
Let Mellie be.
651
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:05,690
That's how you fight her.
652
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:07,758
Don't overthink it.
Just let Mellie be.
653
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:09,794
Let Mellie do what
Mellie's going to do.
654
00:27:09,861 --> 00:27:12,029
When it comes to Fitz,
Mellie's her own worst enemy.
655
00:27:12,097 --> 00:27:14,331
Eventually, she's going to
go too far and cross him.
656
00:27:14,399 --> 00:27:16,033
You just need to be
there when she does.
657
00:27:19,303 --> 00:27:20,970
Besides,
if that doesn't work,
658
00:27:21,038 --> 00:27:24,240
he'll be seeing me
at the fund-raising gala.
659
00:27:24,308 --> 00:27:25,809
Which should take the heat
off you,
660
00:27:25,876 --> 00:27:27,744
because the only person Fitz
hates more than you is me.
661
00:27:32,516 --> 00:27:35,650
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
662
00:27:35,719 --> 00:27:37,319
I was telling her class what
it's like to be a congressman,
663
00:27:37,386 --> 00:27:38,553
but it wasn't going very well.
664
00:27:38,621 --> 00:27:39,955
Honey, they're first-graders.
665
00:27:40,023 --> 00:27:41,656
They have the attention
span of gnats.
666
00:27:41,725 --> 00:27:43,058
Honestly, I couldn't
take my eyes off her.
667
00:27:43,126 --> 00:27:45,527
I was like a blushing schoolboy.
(Laughs)
668
00:27:45,595 --> 00:27:46,795
Don't flinch
when she touches you.
669
00:27:46,863 --> 00:27:48,863
And don't call yourself
"a blushing schoolboy."
670
00:27:48,931 --> 00:27:50,664
In fact, don't ever
say "blushing."
671
00:27:50,733 --> 00:27:52,399
Find a place to disagree
about the story.
672
00:27:52,467 --> 00:27:54,501
Makes you sound less rehearsed.
673
00:27:54,569 --> 00:27:56,170
- Again.
- Again.
674
00:27:56,238 --> 00:27:58,738
First grade teacher
from Nebraska.
675
00:27:58,806 --> 00:28:00,441
What was her
college major again?
676
00:28:00,508 --> 00:28:01,509
Library studies.
677
00:28:01,877 --> 00:28:05,011
Not to mention she's pro-life,
pro-gun, and pro-family.
678
00:28:05,079 --> 00:28:06,246
She wants kids.
(Exhales)
679
00:28:06,313 --> 00:28:07,781
At least four.
680
00:28:07,849 --> 00:28:10,217
And she water-skis...
competitively.
681
00:28:10,284 --> 00:28:13,586
And this was his second choice?
Liv, you have outdone yourself.
682
00:28:13,654 --> 00:28:15,956
Be a hell of a thing if
this marriage became more
683
00:28:16,023 --> 00:28:17,358
than a political convenience,
wouldn't it?
684
00:28:17,925 --> 00:28:20,093
Yeah.
A hell of a thing.
685
00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:25,265
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
686
00:28:25,333 --> 00:28:28,433
These bombing raids are a
death sentence for my son...
687
00:28:28,501 --> 00:28:31,436
(Shutters clicking) And for all
the other hostages of Kashfar.
688
00:28:31,504 --> 00:28:35,474
This President is endangering
my poor Charlie's life.
689
00:28:35,541 --> 00:28:39,710
He is clearly not fit
to be commander-in-chief.
690
00:28:39,779 --> 00:28:41,012
You sure you don't want me
to come with you tonight?
691
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,414
I could dig something up
out of the closet.
692
00:28:42,482 --> 00:28:44,315
It's a bunch of party bigwigs
and oilmen.
693
00:28:44,383 --> 00:28:45,850
You'd be bored to tears.
694
00:28:45,918 --> 00:28:46,985
(Exhales)
695
00:28:47,052 --> 00:28:48,386
(Knocks on door)
696
00:28:48,453 --> 00:28:50,255
Just wanted to remind you,
sir, to pay a little
697
00:28:50,322 --> 00:28:52,890
lip service to the chamber
of commerce guys.
698
00:28:52,957 --> 00:28:55,125
They'll be spending big
come midterms.
699
00:28:55,193 --> 00:28:57,494
Uh-huh.
700
00:28:57,561 --> 00:28:59,329
He's under so much
pressure, Cy.
701
00:28:59,397 --> 00:29:02,132
It's terrible, isn't it?
Approvals are free-falling.
702
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,434
He's coming off as a demon.
703
00:29:03,435 --> 00:29:04,502
I wish there was
something we could do.
704
00:29:04,803 --> 00:29:06,303
It's not like we can
tell the families
705
00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:08,538
that we're back-channeling
with the Kashfaris.
706
00:29:08,606 --> 00:29:10,072
We just have to take
the beating.
707
00:29:10,140 --> 00:29:12,708
Too bad Fitz can't meet
with the families.
708
00:29:12,776 --> 00:29:15,411
(Sighs) Be a media circus.
709
00:29:15,478 --> 00:29:17,013
What if it were me?
710
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,015
You?
711
00:29:19,082 --> 00:29:20,950
I'm good with parents.
I speak their language.
712
00:29:20,951 --> 00:29:21,818
What about the press?
713
00:29:21,819 --> 00:29:23,920
The second these parents
show up at the White House,
714
00:29:23,987 --> 00:29:25,787
we'll lose a week's worth
of news cycles.
715
00:29:25,855 --> 00:29:27,355
So we set up
a conference call...
716
00:29:27,423 --> 00:29:29,090
A private number
the families can dial into.
717
00:29:29,158 --> 00:29:31,526
I say my piece,
I set them at ease...
718
00:29:31,593 --> 00:29:33,561
Disaster averted.
719
00:29:33,629 --> 00:29:35,496
(Woman speaking
indistinctly on tv)
720
00:29:35,564 --> 00:29:37,632
What would this White House
do without you, Mellie?
721
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:39,234
(Exhales)
722
00:29:41,803 --> 00:29:43,403
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
723
00:29:43,471 --> 00:29:45,439
(Sighs)
724
00:29:47,775 --> 00:29:49,443
(Sighs)
725
00:29:51,947 --> 00:29:54,014
(Cell phone chimes)
726
00:29:54,082 --> 00:29:55,983
(Chimes and beeps)
I have a car waiting.
727
00:29:56,051 --> 00:29:57,884
- One of the girls talked.
- What? To who?
728
00:29:57,952 --> 00:29:59,285
Editor of the "D. C. Dish."
729
00:29:59,353 --> 00:30:00,586
He just called asking me
to comment on the auditions
730
00:30:00,654 --> 00:30:02,488
we held to find a fake
wife for, and I quote,
731
00:30:02,556 --> 00:30:03,756
"Senator Caldwell's
gay brother."
732
00:30:03,824 --> 00:30:05,524
- How much does he know?
- Everything,
733
00:30:05,592 --> 00:30:07,760
from rehearsals
to confidentiality agreements.
734
00:30:07,828 --> 00:30:09,995
(Exhales) Find out how much
lead time we have.
735
00:30:10,063 --> 00:30:11,464
None. They're running the story
tomorrow morning.
736
00:30:11,531 --> 00:30:12,732
(Exhales)
737
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:13,932
(Clicks switch)
738
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,401
This story cannot come out.
739
00:30:15,469 --> 00:30:16,969
It'll destroy
Will's political career.
740
00:30:17,036 --> 00:30:18,236
I'm headed to the "D.C. Dish" now.
741
00:30:18,304 --> 00:30:20,205
I bet it's the first girl who
leaked it...the one Abby got to.
742
00:30:20,273 --> 00:30:21,773
We deal with that later.
Just do whatever...
743
00:30:22,140 --> 00:30:24,376
And, Harrison, I mean
whatever we need to do
744
00:30:24,443 --> 00:30:26,411
to shut this down!
745
00:30:33,564 --> 00:30:34,831
Hey, Anne.
746
00:30:34,899 --> 00:30:36,933
I'm on deadline, Cy.
Come back in an hour.
747
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,802
I've got a big story for you.
Biggest of the week.
748
00:30:39,869 --> 00:30:41,904
An American civilian
was beheaded in Kashfar,
749
00:30:41,971 --> 00:30:44,072
and in return you guys
ignored international law
750
00:30:44,140 --> 00:30:45,707
and bombed half a dozen villages.
751
00:30:45,775 --> 00:30:48,510
News-wise, I'd say it's already
been a pretty big week.
752
00:30:48,578 --> 00:30:50,312
8:00 tomorrow morning,
the First Lady will be
753
00:30:50,379 --> 00:30:52,280
on a conference call,
a conference call where
754
00:30:52,348 --> 00:30:55,182
she will speak very freely
about what this administration
755
00:30:55,250 --> 00:30:57,117
is doing regarding the hostages.
756
00:30:57,185 --> 00:30:59,954
She will speak freely because
she won't, in fact, know
757
00:31:00,021 --> 00:31:01,088
that a reporter,
hopefully yourself,
758
00:31:01,156 --> 00:31:02,122
will be on the line.
759
00:31:02,190 --> 00:31:03,858
(Paper rustles)
(Clicks tongue)
760
00:31:03,926 --> 00:31:05,593
Have I mentioned how much
I like and respect you, Cy?
761
00:31:05,661 --> 00:31:07,127
Anne.
You're welcome.
762
00:31:07,195 --> 00:31:08,063
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
763
00:31:08,130 --> 00:31:10,264
The house across the street
from Wendy's had a security cam.
764
00:31:10,331 --> 00:31:12,433
- Mm-hmm.
- And look, right there...See that?
765
00:31:15,035 --> 00:31:16,369
Mm-hmm.
766
00:31:16,437 --> 00:31:18,404
Same night Molly saw Wendy
fight with our mystery guy,
767
00:31:18,473 --> 00:31:19,940
and the time fits, too.
768
00:31:20,007 --> 00:31:21,407
We should have Molly
come in and take a look,
769
00:31:21,476 --> 00:31:22,843
- see if she can I.D. him.
- I'll call right now.
770
00:31:22,910 --> 00:31:24,478
(Gasps)
771
00:31:24,545 --> 00:31:25,412
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
772
00:31:25,780 --> 00:31:27,480
We're running this.
End of story.
773
00:31:27,547 --> 00:31:29,047
- Off of one source?
- Look around you.
774
00:31:29,115 --> 00:31:30,483
This is the "Dish,"
not the "Times."
775
00:31:30,550 --> 00:31:31,484
I ain't Bernstein,
776
00:31:31,552 --> 00:31:33,185
and my reporter sure as
hell ain't Woodward.
777
00:31:33,253 --> 00:31:34,587
I get it.
You break this story...
778
00:31:34,754 --> 00:31:36,088
However erroneous
and fabricated... and what?
779
00:31:36,155 --> 00:31:37,389
Sell out a day's worth
of papers,
780
00:31:37,457 --> 00:31:38,624
score a few hundred
thousand clicks?
781
00:31:38,692 --> 00:31:40,859
Let me just ask you... would you
rather break this story,
782
00:31:41,127 --> 00:31:42,827
or would you rather
own this story?
783
00:31:42,895 --> 00:31:44,428
What's your offer?
784
00:31:44,497 --> 00:31:45,997
(Chuckles)
785
00:31:46,064 --> 00:31:47,499
(Indistinct conversations)
786
00:31:47,566 --> 00:31:49,501
She was so pretty, I-I still
don't know how I made it
787
00:31:49,568 --> 00:31:50,969
through "Green Eggs and Ham."
(Laughs)
788
00:31:51,036 --> 00:31:53,705
Keep in mind, there's only about
five words on each page.
789
00:31:53,772 --> 00:31:56,874
(Laughter)
Thank you so much.
790
00:31:56,942 --> 00:31:57,842
(Amplified voice)
Ladies and gentlemen,
791
00:31:57,910 --> 00:32:00,544
the President of the United States.
792
00:32:00,612 --> 00:32:03,246
(Applause)
793
00:32:29,006 --> 00:32:31,706
(Panting and rustling)
794
00:32:31,774 --> 00:32:33,008
(Moans)
795
00:32:33,075 --> 00:32:36,778
(Laughs and sighs)
796
00:32:38,581 --> 00:32:40,214
Don't think this means anything.
797
00:32:40,282 --> 00:32:41,783
(Exhales)
798
00:32:41,851 --> 00:32:44,519
Don't worry!
I don't!
799
00:32:47,022 --> 00:32:48,589
When it comes to leadership,
800
00:32:48,657 --> 00:32:50,457
there's no better man
than Will Caldwell.
801
00:32:50,525 --> 00:32:52,059
(Applause)
802
00:32:52,126 --> 00:32:53,527
I mean that.
803
00:32:53,595 --> 00:32:55,963
Support him, and not only
does North Carolina
804
00:32:56,031 --> 00:32:58,131
get a damn good Governor,
but he'll be too busy
805
00:32:58,199 --> 00:32:59,700
to run against me
in the primaries.
806
00:32:59,768 --> 00:33:02,469
(Laughter)
(Chuckles) Thank you.
807
00:33:02,537 --> 00:33:03,670
Thanks, everyone.
808
00:33:03,737 --> 00:33:05,038
(Applause) Thank you.
809
00:33:05,105 --> 00:33:06,673
Will Caldwell, Governor.
810
00:33:10,210 --> 00:33:12,812
(Speaks inaudibly)
811
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,647
(Cell phone chimes)
812
00:33:14,715 --> 00:33:15,949
(Chimes)
813
00:33:16,016 --> 00:33:17,349
Harrison.
814
00:33:17,417 --> 00:33:19,184
Well, now I know why you
won't go out with me again.
815
00:33:19,251 --> 00:33:20,619
You're having a torrid affair
with Henderson.
816
00:33:20,687 --> 00:33:22,287
It's Harrison,
and he's my coworker.
817
00:33:22,354 --> 00:33:23,421
Why are you calling?
818
00:33:23,489 --> 00:33:24,690
Uh, you called me.
819
00:33:24,757 --> 00:33:26,892
- No... (Laughs) I didn't.
- Yes, you did.
820
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,427
You said, "Jake, if I'm gonna
go on a second date with you,
821
00:33:29,495 --> 00:33:30,696
I'm gonna need you
to sell me."
822
00:33:30,763 --> 00:33:32,097
You don't remember saying that?
823
00:33:32,164 --> 00:33:35,332
No.
So sell me.
824
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,568
Let me guess. We'll start
at a Michelin-rated restaurant
825
00:33:37,636 --> 00:33:39,203
and end up picnicking
under a bridge.
826
00:33:47,779 --> 00:33:49,480
No, I was thinking the Metro.
827
00:33:49,547 --> 00:33:51,081
Slap some Mac and cheese
in a tupperware.
828
00:33:51,148 --> 00:33:52,983
The Red Line's my favorite,
but it's also the longest,
829
00:33:53,050 --> 00:33:55,418
so until I'm sure
that I like you,
830
00:33:55,486 --> 00:33:56,820
you know,
as much as you like me,
831
00:33:56,887 --> 00:33:58,554
I think it's best we start
with something short,
832
00:33:58,623 --> 00:33:59,823
like the Green Line.
833
00:33:59,890 --> 00:34:01,858
(Call waiting beep)
834
00:34:01,926 --> 00:34:04,260
I have to go, Jake. I'm sorry.
Can I call you back tomorrow?
835
00:34:04,328 --> 00:34:05,729
And say hi to Henderson for me.
836
00:34:05,796 --> 00:34:07,262
(Laughs) (Button clicks)
837
00:34:07,330 --> 00:34:08,697
Tell me you shut it down.
838
00:34:08,765 --> 00:34:11,466
I shut it down.
It took me offering exclusivity
839
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,535
on the Caldwell wedding photos
and pretty much everything else
840
00:34:13,603 --> 00:34:15,070
for the rest of their
heavily contracted marriage,
841
00:34:15,138 --> 00:34:16,839
- but given what's at stake...
- Small price to pay.
842
00:34:16,906 --> 00:34:18,306
So where are we
with the first girl?
843
00:34:18,374 --> 00:34:20,075
- You think we can muzzle her?
- That's the thing.
844
00:34:20,143 --> 00:34:21,476
I was talking to the
editor, and he said
845
00:34:21,544 --> 00:34:22,778
the leak came
from inside the family.
846
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:25,680
(Clicks phone)
847
00:34:25,748 --> 00:34:28,783
Hello?
Liv?
848
00:34:28,851 --> 00:34:29,952
(Peter) He needs a wife.
849
00:34:30,019 --> 00:34:32,221
(Olivia) You haven't dated
anyone in the last ten years.
850
00:34:32,288 --> 00:34:35,524
- Why?- I'm sowing my oats.
I don't want to settle down.
851
00:34:35,591 --> 00:34:37,192
This is Will's wife
we're talking about here.
852
00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:38,726
If he rushes into this
with this woman
853
00:34:38,794 --> 00:34:40,461
and then next week
decides he hates her...
854
00:34:40,529 --> 00:34:42,129
(Door clicks)
855
00:34:42,197 --> 00:34:44,064
Be a hell of a thing
if this marriage became more
856
00:34:44,132 --> 00:34:46,367
than a political convenience,
wouldn't it?
857
00:34:46,434 --> 00:34:48,269
Yeah. A hell of a thing.
858
00:34:48,336 --> 00:34:49,970
(Echoes) A hell of a thing.
859
00:34:50,038 --> 00:34:51,572
(Harrison) He said the leak
came from inside the family.
860
00:34:57,344 --> 00:34:59,078
I can't.
861
00:34:59,146 --> 00:35:00,346
(Panting)
862
00:35:00,414 --> 00:35:01,614
I have to go.
863
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:03,783
Marion...
864
00:35:17,197 --> 00:35:19,464
- Olivia.
- Will.
865
00:35:19,532 --> 00:35:21,366
End it.
Now.
866
00:35:21,434 --> 00:35:23,402
I don't know
what you're talking...
867
00:35:23,469 --> 00:35:24,903
I saw you.
End it.
868
00:35:24,970 --> 00:35:27,105
I don't care how much
we're paying you.
869
00:35:27,173 --> 00:35:29,240
You have no right
to insert yourself
870
00:35:29,308 --> 00:35:31,442
into a private family...
871
00:35:32,977 --> 00:35:35,746
I can't.
It's too late.
872
00:35:35,814 --> 00:35:36,914
Why?
873
00:35:36,981 --> 00:35:38,182
Because I love her.
874
00:35:38,250 --> 00:35:40,751
The day Pete brought her
home ten years ago,
875
00:35:40,819 --> 00:35:42,553
I wasn't even supposed
to be there.
876
00:35:42,621 --> 00:35:44,887
I was supposed to be
on a plane.
877
00:35:44,955 --> 00:35:47,924
Sometimes I wonder, if I had
just been somewhere else...
878
00:35:47,991 --> 00:35:51,528
We denied it for months,
because that's what you do.
879
00:35:51,596 --> 00:35:54,030
You deny it. You pretend
it's not happening.
880
00:35:54,098 --> 00:35:57,000
You pretend it's all above board
and it's appropriate,
881
00:35:57,068 --> 00:35:58,835
and the next thing you know,
you're having sex
882
00:35:58,903 --> 00:36:01,003
in the coat closet at your
brother's engagement dinner.
883
00:36:03,506 --> 00:36:05,006
Pete loves her.
She's his wife.
884
00:36:05,074 --> 00:36:07,209
And she and I...
885
00:36:07,277 --> 00:36:09,878
Well, we have what we have.
It might not be much,
886
00:36:09,946 --> 00:36:11,547
but it's what we have.
887
00:36:13,283 --> 00:36:15,583
You have nothing.
888
00:36:15,651 --> 00:36:18,486
You have a pile
of secrets and lies,
889
00:36:18,554 --> 00:36:20,020
and you're calling it love.
890
00:36:20,088 --> 00:36:22,223
And in the meantime,
you're letting your whole life
891
00:36:22,291 --> 00:36:24,292
pass you by
while they raise children
892
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,893
and celebrate anniversaries
893
00:36:25,961 --> 00:36:27,528
and grow old together.
894
00:36:27,596 --> 00:36:29,063
You're frozen in time.
895
00:36:29,131 --> 00:36:31,132
You're holding your breath.
You're a statue
896
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,968
waiting for something
that's never going to happen.
897
00:36:35,035 --> 00:36:37,738
Living for stolen moments
in hotel hallways
898
00:36:37,805 --> 00:36:39,839
and coat closets,
you keep telling yourself
899
00:36:39,907 --> 00:36:41,508
they all add up
to something real,
900
00:36:41,576 --> 00:36:43,143
because in your mind
they have to, but they don't.
901
00:36:43,311 --> 00:36:45,245
They won't.
They never will.
902
00:36:45,313 --> 00:36:47,480
(Voice breaking) Because
stolen moments aren't a life.
903
00:36:47,547 --> 00:36:50,082
So you have nothing.
904
00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:52,251
You have no one.
End it now.
905
00:37:04,643 --> 00:37:05,677
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
906
00:37:05,744 --> 00:37:07,912
(Thunderclap, rain falling)
907
00:37:07,979 --> 00:37:10,047
(Footsteps approaching)
908
00:37:12,184 --> 00:37:14,952
(Sighs) Um...
909
00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:16,854
(Sets cup on table) I've got Molly
set up in the conference room
910
00:37:16,922 --> 00:37:18,255
looking at the images
of the guy you found
911
00:37:18,324 --> 00:37:19,856
on the security cam
from Wendy's house.
912
00:37:19,924 --> 00:37:21,725
Fingers crossed
she can I.D. the guy.
913
00:37:21,793 --> 00:37:23,427
Uh, yeah.
914
00:37:28,065 --> 00:37:29,366
You smell.
915
00:37:29,434 --> 00:37:30,667
What?
916
00:37:30,735 --> 00:37:32,101
You smell, Huck.
917
00:37:32,169 --> 00:37:33,804
You've smelled for a week.
918
00:37:35,406 --> 00:37:37,006
(Inhales sharply)
919
00:37:37,074 --> 00:37:38,574
I googled it.
920
00:37:38,642 --> 00:37:41,044
What happens to people
who've been waterboarded.
921
00:37:41,111 --> 00:37:43,046
They get panic attacks.
They can't sleep.
922
00:37:43,113 --> 00:37:45,982
Some of them can't even
go out in the rain.
923
00:37:46,050 --> 00:37:48,151
(Labored breathing) Sometimes
the rain makes things so bad,
924
00:37:48,219 --> 00:37:50,153
they can't even face the shower.
925
00:37:51,688 --> 00:37:52,921
Huck?
926
00:37:52,989 --> 00:37:55,457
It'll go away.
927
00:37:55,524 --> 00:37:57,059
When the rain stops,
it'll go away,
928
00:37:57,126 --> 00:37:58,393
and I'll be fine.
929
00:37:58,461 --> 00:38:00,495
Being okay as long as
it doesn't rain
930
00:38:00,563 --> 00:38:01,997
isn't the same as being fine.
931
00:38:02,065 --> 00:38:04,632
I used to live in a box
outside the Metro,
932
00:38:04,700 --> 00:38:07,836
and before that I dismembered
people for a living.
933
00:38:07,903 --> 00:38:09,603
Right now I smell.
934
00:38:09,671 --> 00:38:11,505
When the rain stops,
I won't smell.
935
00:38:11,573 --> 00:38:13,140
I'm fine.
936
00:38:17,612 --> 00:38:19,313
(Beep)
937
00:38:19,381 --> 00:38:21,815
- Is that...
- One of Wendy's files.
938
00:38:23,252 --> 00:38:24,851
(Huck taps key)
939
00:38:24,919 --> 00:38:26,786
(Door opens and closes)
940
00:38:26,854 --> 00:38:29,022
How exciting to be summoned.
941
00:38:29,090 --> 00:38:30,658
Speaking
to the hostages' families,
942
00:38:30,725 --> 00:38:33,260
- making promises in my name?
- In the first lady's defense, sir,
943
00:38:33,327 --> 00:38:34,394
her heart was
in the right place.
944
00:38:34,461 --> 00:38:35,795
It's where her head was lodged.
945
00:38:35,863 --> 00:38:37,597
I was only trying to help
behind the scenes.
946
00:38:37,664 --> 00:38:39,032
There was a reporter
on the call.
947
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:40,432
It's all over the news.
948
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:41,666
What?
949
00:38:41,734 --> 00:38:43,602
There wasn't supposed
to be press.
950
00:38:43,669 --> 00:38:45,204
Oh, there wasn't supposed
to be any witnesses
951
00:38:45,272 --> 00:38:48,374
to your discussing
military options with civilians,
952
00:38:48,441 --> 00:38:51,210
or implying we're willing
to negotiate with terrorists,
953
00:38:51,278 --> 00:38:53,845
jeopardizing every
U.S. citizen overseas.
954
00:38:53,914 --> 00:38:56,580
That was just an "oops"?
Fine!
955
00:38:56,648 --> 00:38:58,082
I feel so much better.
956
00:38:58,150 --> 00:38:59,650
(Inhales) What can I do, sir?
957
00:38:59,718 --> 00:39:01,052
You've done enough, Cy.
958
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,954
Arrange a press conference...
C.I.A.,
959
00:39:03,022 --> 00:39:04,789
National Security,
and Secretary of State.
960
00:39:04,856 --> 00:39:07,625
Good. Smart. We'll act fast,
put a band-aid on it.
961
00:39:07,692 --> 00:39:08,726
Fitz...
962
00:39:08,794 --> 00:39:09,928
That'll be all.
963
00:39:11,130 --> 00:39:12,029
(Exhales)
964
00:39:14,565 --> 00:39:16,166
Representative Caldwell
might have thought
965
00:39:16,234 --> 00:39:18,101
he'd be the one
making headlines,
966
00:39:18,169 --> 00:39:20,470
with a big endorsement
from president grant,
967
00:39:20,538 --> 00:39:23,206
but never underestimate
America's love
968
00:39:23,274 --> 00:39:24,841
of a Cinderella story.
969
00:39:24,909 --> 00:39:27,144
Stealing the spotlight
was Caldwell's date
970
00:39:27,211 --> 00:39:29,478
to the gala affair,
an elementary school...(Turns off tv)
971
00:39:29,546 --> 00:39:31,013
(Sighs)
972
00:39:31,081 --> 00:39:34,850
(Cell phone rings and beeps)
973
00:39:34,918 --> 00:39:36,118
Hey there, you.
974
00:39:38,088 --> 00:39:39,121
Yes.
975
00:39:39,189 --> 00:39:40,489
Yes?
976
00:39:40,557 --> 00:39:41,790
Yes, I will go out with you.
977
00:39:41,858 --> 00:39:43,459
Henderson's out of the picture?
978
00:39:43,526 --> 00:39:45,560
(Chuckling) Henderson's
out of the picture.
979
00:39:47,029 --> 00:39:48,830
I've got a client.
Call me later.
980
00:39:52,801 --> 00:39:54,769
Job well done, as usual.
981
00:39:54,837 --> 00:39:56,838
Looks like your brother
might actually win this thing.
982
00:39:56,905 --> 00:39:59,474
Oh, he's got a great shot.
Gayle on his arm
983
00:39:59,541 --> 00:40:01,808
and the President
in his corner.
984
00:40:01,876 --> 00:40:03,444
Money is flowing in
by the barrel.
985
00:40:03,511 --> 00:40:05,045
All we have to do is keep
chip out of rehab.
986
00:40:05,113 --> 00:40:06,480
I say the Caldwells are golden.
987
00:40:06,547 --> 00:40:08,748
It'll be nice to have
your little brother
988
00:40:08,816 --> 00:40:10,417
in the Governor's mansion.
989
00:40:10,485 --> 00:40:12,152
(Clicks tongue) Yeah.
990
00:40:12,220 --> 00:40:13,720
Be nice to have
my wife back, too.
991
00:40:16,090 --> 00:40:17,423
Come on, Liv.
992
00:40:17,491 --> 00:40:19,558
I grew up in America's
greatest political family.
993
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:21,194
We lie first, breed second.
994
00:40:21,261 --> 00:40:22,728
They've been sleeping
together for years.
995
00:40:22,796 --> 00:40:25,664
Saw it from a mile away.
996
00:40:25,732 --> 00:40:28,167
If you knew,
why didn't you stop it?
997
00:40:28,235 --> 00:40:29,735
Because my brother's
crazy enough
998
00:40:29,803 --> 00:40:31,304
to try and fight me for her.
999
00:40:31,372 --> 00:40:32,971
He'd tank his whole career
for Marion.
1000
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:34,639
I couldn't let that happen.
1001
00:40:34,707 --> 00:40:36,041
Family comes first.
Always has.
1002
00:40:38,644 --> 00:40:41,046
That's the downside
of being a Caldwell.
1003
00:40:48,286 --> 00:40:49,353
What is it?
1004
00:40:55,827 --> 00:40:57,594
These are the hostages.
1005
00:40:57,662 --> 00:40:59,263
Their C.I.A. files were
on Wendy's flash drive.
1006
00:40:59,331 --> 00:41:00,664
Huck just de-encrypted them.
1007
00:41:00,732 --> 00:41:03,000
So albatross, the mole,
the man who killed Wendy...
1008
00:41:03,068 --> 00:41:05,968
He's the one who leaked
their names to the terrorists.
1009
00:41:06,037 --> 00:41:08,604
I went in house, I did a thorough
sweep of all my officers,
1010
00:41:08,672 --> 00:41:10,206
checked all ingoing,
outgoing communications.
1011
00:41:10,274 --> 00:41:11,408
And?
1012
00:41:11,475 --> 00:41:12,975
The mole is not in the agency.
1013
00:41:13,044 --> 00:41:14,210
The C.I.A. is clean on this, sir.
1014
00:41:14,278 --> 00:41:15,912
Which is a relief.
1015
00:41:15,979 --> 00:41:17,980
However, it does not
solve our problem.
1016
00:41:18,049 --> 00:41:20,382
I know the picture's not great,
but you think that's the guy?
1017
00:41:20,450 --> 00:41:22,384
- That's him.
- It is?
1018
00:41:22,452 --> 00:41:25,220
That's him. That's the guy.
I know it. That's him.
1019
00:41:25,288 --> 00:41:27,322
(Panting) Olivia!
1020
00:41:27,390 --> 00:41:29,425
Sir, for my money,
I'd start looking into
1021
00:41:29,492 --> 00:41:31,193
other intelligence avenues...
1022
00:41:31,261 --> 00:41:33,162
The N.S.A.,
National Security Council.
1023
00:41:33,229 --> 00:41:35,630
I can provide you
with reliable names,
1024
00:41:35,698 --> 00:41:37,098
oversee any sweeps you need.
1025
00:41:37,166 --> 00:41:38,766
That's the guy who wanted
what Wendy stole!
1026
00:41:38,833 --> 00:41:40,968
That's the guy who killed her!
That's him on the tv!
1027
00:41:41,036 --> 00:41:42,836
That is him!
1028
00:41:44,973 --> 00:41:49,110
(Speaking inaudibly)
1029
00:41:49,178 --> 00:41:50,411
Thank you, Osborne.
1030
00:41:50,479 --> 00:41:52,912
Happy to be of service,
Mr. President.
1031
00:42:03,791 --> 00:42:06,159
(Knock on door, door opens)
1032
00:42:06,227 --> 00:42:08,427
- Sir?
- Send him in.
1033
00:42:09,463 --> 00:42:10,463
(Bottle clatters)
1034
00:42:12,566 --> 00:42:14,300
I don't see you in person
for three years,
1035
00:42:14,367 --> 00:42:15,634
and now I'm seeing you
twice in a week?
1036
00:42:15,702 --> 00:42:16,735
I'm starting to feel special.
(Door closes)
1037
00:42:16,803 --> 00:42:18,104
- You still watching her?
- Of course.
1038
00:42:18,171 --> 00:42:19,705
But I have to tell you,
I don't have any more
1039
00:42:19,772 --> 00:42:21,773
- information than I gave you
the other day. - Who's the guy?
1040
00:42:21,841 --> 00:42:23,709
What?
There's a guy, isn't there?
1041
00:42:23,776 --> 00:42:25,510
- She's seeing someone, someone new.
- Look...
1042
00:42:25,578 --> 00:42:26,978
Who's the guy?
1043
00:42:27,045 --> 00:42:28,513
So this is personal.
Look, Fitz...
1044
00:42:28,581 --> 00:42:30,749
I'm your commander-in-chief.
It's "Mr. President,"
1045
00:42:30,750 --> 00:42:31,949
and I need an answer.
1046
00:42:37,022 --> 00:42:41,024
Mr. President,
there is no guy.
1047
00:42:41,092 --> 00:42:42,292
She's not seeing anyone.
1048
00:42:46,764 --> 00:42:49,533
(Projector and camera
shutter clicking)
1049
00:42:49,733 --> 00:42:50,933
