1
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:06,933
Why are you here?
2
00:00:07,001 --> 00:00:08,802
You can't be here.
3
00:00:11,205 --> 00:00:13,539
I didn't kill Amanda Tanner.
4
00:00:13,607 --> 00:00:14,773
I know.
5
00:00:14,841 --> 00:00:17,042
Her baby... it wasn't yours.
6
00:00:17,110 --> 00:00:18,711
But it could have been.
7
00:00:18,778 --> 00:00:20,078
Really?
8
00:00:20,146 --> 00:00:22,447
You really want me to detail
for you how and where
9
00:00:22,516 --> 00:00:24,583
and in what positions
Amanda Tanner and I had sex?
10
00:00:24,651 --> 00:00:26,418
Would that help make you
feel better? 'Cause I'll do it.
11
00:00:26,486 --> 00:00:27,452
No.
12
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:28,887
You left me. I was unhappy.
13
00:00:28,954 --> 00:00:30,855
She was there. One time.
I made a mistake.
14
00:00:30,923 --> 00:00:32,456
I don't want to talk about it.
15
00:00:32,525 --> 00:00:34,425
You cheated on your mistress
with your girlfriend.
16
00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:35,827
Let's just leave it at that.
17
00:00:35,895 --> 00:00:37,395
She wasn't my girlfriend.
18
00:00:37,462 --> 00:00:41,733
Don't you ever call yourself
a mistress. We both know better.
19
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,234
Why are you here?
20
00:00:46,971 --> 00:00:49,039
Cyrus got this in the mail
a week ago.
21
00:00:49,106 --> 00:00:52,208
It's a sex tape. I'm on it.
I need you to hear it.
22
00:00:52,276 --> 00:00:53,977
I definitely don't want
23
00:00:54,045 --> 00:00:56,212
to hear you and Amanda Tanner
having sex.
24
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,882
Olivia.
25
00:00:58,950 --> 00:01:01,184
I need you to listen to this.
26
00:01:04,088 --> 00:01:07,057
(Whooshing)
27
00:01:08,892 --> 00:01:10,126
Well, there's no way
to sugarcoat it.
28
00:01:10,194 --> 00:01:11,594
We got our ass handed to us
29
00:01:11,662 --> 00:01:13,196
by Sally Langston
in Iowa last night.
30
00:01:13,264 --> 00:01:16,032
So anyone have any great ideas?
31
00:01:18,401 --> 00:01:19,834
Anyone?
32
00:01:19,902 --> 00:01:21,470
We have to swing farther right.
33
00:01:21,538 --> 00:01:24,106
We haven't said a thing about
gay marriage, school prayer...
34
00:01:24,174 --> 00:01:25,974
oh, come on. It's not
our stances on the issues.
35
00:01:26,042 --> 00:01:28,277
We are not getting our message
out there.
36
00:01:28,344 --> 00:01:29,945
People don't know
where I stand.
37
00:01:30,012 --> 00:01:31,947
The problem is...
your marriage.
38
00:01:32,014 --> 00:01:36,016
It looks like
you don't screw your wife...
39
00:01:36,085 --> 00:01:37,452
Which would be fine,
40
00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:39,487
except that family values
matter to Republicans.
41
00:01:39,555 --> 00:01:41,422
It's why they vote for
who they vote for.
44
00:01:46,695 --> 00:01:49,129
and yours...
whatever the truth may be...
45
00:01:49,197 --> 00:01:52,532
from the outside,
it looks cold, distant, dead.
46
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,502
Where is your wife, by the way?
47
00:01:55,570 --> 00:01:59,406
(Chuckles) People want to like
who they're voting for.
48
00:01:59,474 --> 00:02:01,341
Voters thought Al Gore was
a big stiff
49
00:02:01,409 --> 00:02:03,643
until he stuck his tongue
down tipper's throat.
50
00:02:03,711 --> 00:02:06,212
They put George W. in office
because he and Laura
51
00:02:06,279 --> 00:02:07,980
seemed like a fun couple
to have a beer with.
52
00:02:08,047 --> 00:02:10,316
People have to want
to invite you in for dinner,
53
00:02:10,383 --> 00:02:13,219
and right now, you and your wife
are standing in their doorway,
54
00:02:13,286 --> 00:02:14,853
3 feet apart,
not looking at each other,
55
00:02:14,921 --> 00:02:16,422
letting in the cold air.
56
00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:18,224
That's why you lost Iowa.
57
00:02:18,291 --> 00:02:20,992
It's why you'll lose
New Hampshire.
58
00:02:21,059 --> 00:02:22,594
And you are?
59
00:02:22,661 --> 00:02:23,894
Olivia...
60
00:02:23,962 --> 00:02:25,597
Pope.
61
00:02:29,101 --> 00:02:31,336
(Projector and camera shutter
clicking)

00:02:31,403 --> 00:02:34,903
Sync & corrections by into-the-light,
www.addic7ed.com
63
00:02:34,973 --> 00:02:36,340
fire her.
64
00:02:36,407 --> 00:02:37,907
Ah, she's great, right?
A pistol.
65
00:02:37,975 --> 00:02:39,976
Lives for her work, a political
nun, best student I ever had.
66
00:02:40,044 --> 00:02:42,312
Fire her. 'Cause she said what
every staffer on your campaign
67
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:43,747
was afraid to say?
68
00:02:43,814 --> 00:02:45,081
Just get rid of her.
69
00:02:47,985 --> 00:02:50,187
I'll charge my hotel room
to the campaign. Don't worry.
70
00:02:50,255 --> 00:02:52,255
I haven't had a chance
to raid the hotel minibar.
71
00:02:52,322 --> 00:02:53,623
(Cyrus) Liv...
best of luck, governor.
72
00:02:55,325 --> 00:02:57,960
Let's be clear about something.
I run a sausage factory.
73
00:02:58,028 --> 00:02:59,128
Which makes me sausage?
74
00:02:59,196 --> 00:03:00,963
Handsome,
highly qualified, smart,
75
00:03:01,031 --> 00:03:02,898
idealistic,
and energetic sausage.
76
00:03:02,966 --> 00:03:04,800
Cy... the stump, the electrifying
speeches, the baby kissing...
77
00:03:04,868 --> 00:03:06,169
that's all you.
78
00:03:06,236 --> 00:03:08,003
The nitty-gritty,
morally bankrupt,
79
00:03:08,071 --> 00:03:10,272
back-alley-brawling
rest of the game...
80
00:03:10,339 --> 00:03:12,541
that's me. It's filthy
and thankless,
81
00:03:12,608 --> 00:03:14,976
and it's my hallelujah, heroin,
and reason to breathe.
82
00:03:15,044 --> 00:03:16,944
And you... you don't have half
the stomach for it,
83
00:03:17,012 --> 00:03:19,347
so you go and you make nice
with Olivia Pope.
84
00:03:19,415 --> 00:03:22,484
Get her back, or you can find
another sausage maker.
85
00:03:22,552 --> 00:03:24,653
(Fitz) Ms. Pope?
86
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,420
Ms. Pope, wait. I...
87
00:03:26,488 --> 00:03:27,689
(elevator bell dings)
88
00:03:27,756 --> 00:03:29,924
I apologize for firing you.
89
00:03:29,992 --> 00:03:30,958
Why?
90
00:03:31,026 --> 00:03:32,259
Why do I apologize?
91
00:03:32,327 --> 00:03:33,294
Why did you fire me?
92
00:03:33,361 --> 00:03:35,029
I had a job,
93
00:03:35,097 --> 00:03:36,731
a paying job, from which
I took a leave of absence
94
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:38,399
to do a favor
for my friend Cyrus
95
00:03:38,466 --> 00:03:40,734
because I am good.
I am brilliant.
96
00:03:40,802 --> 00:03:42,169
I would eat, breathe,
97
00:03:42,236 --> 00:03:44,270
and live Fitzgerald grant
every minute of every day.
98
00:03:44,338 --> 00:03:45,772
You would be lucky to have me.
99
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,940
Just because you don't like
100
00:03:47,008 --> 00:03:48,208
hearing the truth about
yourself...
101
00:03:48,275 --> 00:03:50,010
I loved hearing
what you had to say.
102
00:03:50,078 --> 00:03:51,978
I agree with every word.
Very astute.
103
00:03:52,046 --> 00:03:54,247
And you're right.
104
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:57,850
I would be lucky to have you.
105
00:04:08,795 --> 00:04:10,162
Look...
106
00:04:10,230 --> 00:04:11,463
(Sighs)
107
00:04:13,298 --> 00:04:16,267
This is why you fired me.
108
00:04:16,335 --> 00:04:17,969
Can we just...
109
00:04:18,037 --> 00:04:19,470
go back in there and work.
Okay.
110
00:04:19,538 --> 00:04:20,504
Okay.
111
00:04:24,210 --> 00:04:26,310
(Indistinct conversations) (Projector
and camera shutter clicking)
112
00:04:26,378 --> 00:04:28,912
Oh, it's perfect to meet you.
Yeah, thank you for having us.
113
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:30,047
How are you, Sally?
Hi.
114
00:04:30,115 --> 00:04:31,314
(Speaks indistinctly)
115
00:04:31,382 --> 00:04:33,350
(Click)
116
00:04:33,417 --> 00:04:35,352
(Clicking)
117
00:04:35,419 --> 00:04:37,788
Put down the butter.
118
00:04:37,856 --> 00:04:39,189
I don't know what you're talking about.
(Whirring)
119
00:04:39,257 --> 00:04:41,125
I can hear my mixer again, Abby.
Butter won't fix it.
120
00:04:41,192 --> 00:04:42,692
So are you
a rabid republican yet?
121
00:04:45,629 --> 00:04:47,263
(Speaks inaudibly)
122
00:04:48,598 --> 00:04:49,531
Hello? Liv?
123
00:04:49,599 --> 00:04:51,734
He's got...
124
00:04:51,802 --> 00:04:53,936
Something I can work with.
125
00:04:54,004 --> 00:04:56,239
Go to it then. You don't have
to check on me every day.
126
00:04:56,306 --> 00:04:58,241
I'm not deranged.
I'm just divorced.
127
00:04:58,308 --> 00:04:59,809
So stop feeling sorry for
yourself. Get out of my kitchen.
128
00:04:59,877 --> 00:05:01,143
Call my friend Stephen.
129
00:05:01,210 --> 00:05:02,543
He's fun.
130
00:05:02,611 --> 00:05:05,213
Stop trying to get laid.
Maybe I'll buy a gun.
131
00:05:05,281 --> 00:05:07,149
Okay. Bye.
132
00:05:07,216 --> 00:05:09,217
Ooh, he's good, our boy.
133
00:05:09,285 --> 00:05:11,552
You'd never know he's dying
to rip Langston's throat out.
134
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:14,422
If only he were that good
at faking it with his wife
135
00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:15,924
we wouldn't be losing.
136
00:05:15,992 --> 00:05:17,491
Schedule of events?
137
00:05:17,558 --> 00:05:19,059
Thanks. What's your name?
138
00:05:19,127 --> 00:05:20,627
Amanda.
Thanks, Amanda.
139
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:22,462
I don't care which campaign
you're volunteering for.
140
00:05:22,530 --> 00:05:24,965
I want to thank you
for coming out today.
141
00:05:35,910 --> 00:05:37,844
(Flips open cell phone)
(Keypad beeps)
142
00:05:39,914 --> 00:05:42,081
Alissa, cancel your plans.
143
00:05:42,149 --> 00:05:43,549
We're working late tonight.
144
00:05:52,564 --> 00:05:53,497
{Pub}(Woman) ♪ you think I love you ♪
145
00:05:53,565 --> 00:05:54,564
Mm.
146
00:05:54,631 --> 00:05:56,099
Mm.
147
00:05:56,167 --> 00:05:57,733
(Mouth full)
This is really good.
148
00:05:57,801 --> 00:05:58,969
(Mouth full) I know.
149
00:05:59,036 --> 00:06:01,704
No, I mean like
award-winning good,
150
00:06:01,772 --> 00:06:03,940
like you should quit your job.
'Cause let's face it,
151
00:06:04,008 --> 00:06:05,976
you're kind of a crap reporter.
152
00:06:06,043 --> 00:06:08,511
Mm-hmm. Go out on the road in your
car and sell this grilled cheese.
153
00:06:08,579 --> 00:06:10,145
Wait. You have a car, right?
154
00:06:10,213 --> 00:06:11,146
'Cause I can't date you
if you don't have a car.
155
00:06:11,214 --> 00:06:13,682
I have a car.
156
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:14,783
I also...
157
00:06:14,851 --> 00:06:16,018
(Giggles)
158
00:06:16,086 --> 00:06:18,687
I have... (Chuckles)
A deadline tomorrow.
159
00:06:23,726 --> 00:06:25,361
Oh.
160
00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:27,061
Yeah, I sh... I'm sorry.
I should go.
161
00:06:27,129 --> 00:06:29,430
No. No. I didn't mean that.
You shouldn't go.
162
00:06:29,498 --> 00:06:32,467
You should stay. I just have
to work for a couple of hours,
163
00:06:32,534 --> 00:06:34,102
but you should stay here,
naked...
164
00:06:34,169 --> 00:06:35,703
And beautiful...
165
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:37,671
And here, in my bed.
166
00:06:37,739 --> 00:06:38,839
Stay here.
167
00:06:38,907 --> 00:06:40,808
Please.
168
00:06:40,876 --> 00:06:43,243
(Kiss)
169
00:06:53,321 --> 00:06:58,891
(Speaking indistinctly)

(Sighs)
171
00:07:03,563 --> 00:07:05,431
Ah, did you get
moo shu chicken?
172
00:07:05,499 --> 00:07:07,733
No wonder it took you so long.
How do you even walk in those?
173
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,368
I got whatever you ordered.
174
00:07:09,436 --> 00:07:11,203
And these shoes aren't made
for walking.
175
00:07:11,271 --> 00:07:12,604
They are made
for getting me laid,
176
00:07:12,672 --> 00:07:14,972
specifically, they are
for the very hot bartender
177
00:07:15,041 --> 00:07:16,807
at the black cat, where I would
be having a drink right now
178
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:18,076
if I didn't happen to work
179
00:07:18,144 --> 00:07:19,677
for an obsessive-compulsive
slave driver
180
00:07:19,745 --> 00:07:21,746
who makes me fetch him dinner
at 10:30 on a Thursday night.
181
00:07:21,813 --> 00:07:24,015
You know, if you spent less time
at the black cat
182
00:07:24,083 --> 00:07:25,583
and more time studying
for the bar exam,
183
00:07:25,651 --> 00:07:27,285
you wouldn't be fetching
your boss anything
184
00:07:27,353 --> 00:07:28,586
because at law firms,
they have assistants for that.
185
00:07:28,654 --> 00:07:30,187
Lots of lawyers fail the bar.
186
00:07:30,255 --> 00:07:32,122
All lawyers pass the bar.
That's what makes them lawyers.
187
00:07:33,624 --> 00:07:34,724
(Clears throat)
188
00:07:34,792 --> 00:07:36,060
(Sighs)
189
00:07:36,127 --> 00:07:38,562
Alissa, eat something.
We have a murder to solve.
190
00:07:38,629 --> 00:07:40,164
No, we don't.
191
00:07:40,231 --> 00:07:42,666
Coroner says it's a suicide,
and the police agree with her,
192
00:07:42,733 --> 00:07:44,000
which is why I went home
two hours ago,
193
00:07:44,069 --> 00:07:46,635
because work was over.
194
00:07:46,703 --> 00:07:50,139
(Mouth full) Amanda Tanner...
27, single, 13 weeks pregnant...
195
00:07:50,207 --> 00:07:52,275
(Clicking) Worked as an aide
at the grant White House
196
00:07:52,342 --> 00:07:54,643
till just a couple weeks ago
when she abruptly resigned
197
00:07:54,711 --> 00:07:56,412
and botched a suicide attempt.
198
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,781
Then she becomes
a client of Olivia Pope's,
199
00:07:58,848 --> 00:08:01,317
and we pull her dead body
out of the river.
200
00:08:01,385 --> 00:08:03,885
Don't you find that
interesting?
201
00:08:03,953 --> 00:08:06,288
Well, pretend you do, for me.
202
00:08:06,355 --> 00:08:08,190
Now if you did happen
to find any of this
203
00:08:08,257 --> 00:08:11,560
remotely fascinating,
incongruous, intriguing,
204
00:08:11,627 --> 00:08:13,361
worthy of our time,
205
00:08:13,429 --> 00:08:15,797
what's the first question you
might ask about Amanda Tanner?
206
00:08:15,864 --> 00:08:18,199
(Sighs) Well, um,
207
00:08:18,266 --> 00:08:20,201
who in the White House
would want her dead?
208
00:08:22,504 --> 00:08:25,306
You canceled all our events
for the next two days?
209
00:08:25,373 --> 00:08:26,673
Yes. The primary's
in less than a week.
210
00:08:26,741 --> 00:08:27,741
We can't miss two days
of campaigning.
211
00:08:27,809 --> 00:08:29,210
New Hampshire's a small state.
212
00:08:29,277 --> 00:08:31,044
I have a literacy fund-raiser
in nashua tomorrow.
213
00:08:31,113 --> 00:08:33,680
I can't possibly cancel that.
That's why I canceled it for you.
214
00:08:33,748 --> 00:08:36,082
(Chuckles)
215
00:08:36,150 --> 00:08:38,284
Maybe I'm dense,
but I have to confess,
216
00:08:38,352 --> 00:08:40,353
I don't really know
what you want from us.
217
00:08:40,421 --> 00:08:42,455
First off, I'd like you to
actually talk to each other.
218
00:08:42,523 --> 00:08:45,258
We talk all the time, Ms. Pope.
219
00:08:45,326 --> 00:08:46,692
Not to each other, you don't.
220
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,394
House parties, town hall
meetings, baseball games...
221
00:08:48,462 --> 00:08:50,362
you barely look at each other.
222
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:52,864
Fine. We will add a couple
of events to the schedule
223
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,500
where we are together.
224
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:56,135
That won't do it.
You two need to be a couple.
225
00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:59,704
A believable, loving,
dedicated couple.
226
00:08:59,772 --> 00:09:02,541
Or you might as well
throw it in right now.
227
00:09:07,779 --> 00:09:09,580
Why don't we give you two
a moment?
228
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:15,953
(Door closes) Why are you fighting this?
It's what you wanted.
229
00:09:16,021 --> 00:09:18,222
It's what you've always wanted. What i wanted?
You are the one running for president.
230
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:20,458
Oh, please, like you're
not running for first lady?
231
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:21,792
You're dying to get
into that White House.
232
00:09:21,860 --> 00:09:23,026
You're practically
redecorating already.
233
00:09:23,093 --> 00:09:24,628
Okay, there it is.
I am the ambitious monster.
234
00:09:24,695 --> 00:09:25,762
I'm the iron lady.
235
00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:27,830
(Scoffs)
I have done everything for you!
236
00:09:27,898 --> 00:09:29,432
I have sacrificed
my career for you.
237
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,234
I have had kids for you.
238
00:09:31,302 --> 00:09:34,204
There is not a single thing
in my life I have not given up
239
00:09:34,272 --> 00:09:35,438
so that you could be
president...
240
00:09:35,506 --> 00:09:36,939
I never asked you
for any of that.
241
00:09:37,007 --> 00:09:39,208
And all I get in turn is
this perpetual resentment!
242
00:09:39,276 --> 00:09:40,876
So what would you prefer?
That I ignore you?
243
00:09:40,943 --> 00:09:42,645
That we don't talk at all?
'Cause that's pretty much
244
00:09:42,712 --> 00:09:44,213
how it's been the past few
years, and that's worked okay.
245
00:09:44,281 --> 00:09:45,881
Now you're just being juvenile.
246
00:09:45,948 --> 00:09:48,450
(Sighs) This is why they don't
talk to each other.
247
00:09:48,518 --> 00:09:50,419
(Fitz speaks indistinctly)
248
00:09:50,487 --> 00:09:51,720
No.
(Fitz) 'Cause you're afraid
249
00:09:51,788 --> 00:09:53,255
it would get out
and kill us politically.
250
00:09:53,323 --> 00:09:54,855
If they found out,
we'd be dead in the water!
251
00:09:54,923 --> 00:09:57,124
Fine! Then if living
on Pennsylvania Avenue
252
00:09:57,193 --> 00:09:58,993
is that important to you,
we better suck it up
253
00:09:59,061 --> 00:10:02,197
and start acting like
this isn't a dead marriage!
254
00:10:02,264 --> 00:10:03,998
Governor, you're 5 points down
in New Hampshire. (Clicking)
255
00:10:04,066 --> 00:10:05,766
Taking time out from
the primary for
256
00:10:05,834 --> 00:10:07,968
a parent-teacher conference...
isn't that a little risky?
257
00:10:08,036 --> 00:10:09,937
If it's a choice between losing
touch with your family
258
00:10:10,005 --> 00:10:13,173
and losing a primary, that's
not really a choice, is it?
259
00:10:13,241 --> 00:10:15,075
You can't wear this tie
on morning TV.
260
00:10:15,142 --> 00:10:16,610
What? It's too distracting.
Take it off.
261
00:10:16,678 --> 00:10:18,579
Give me your tie, please.
Give me your tie. Take it off.
262
00:10:18,646 --> 00:10:20,814
Off, off, off, off. Thank you.
263
00:10:20,881 --> 00:10:21,781
Okay.
264
00:10:24,085 --> 00:10:26,885
You decide
who you're voting for?
265
00:10:26,953 --> 00:10:28,487
I'm apolitical.
266
00:10:28,555 --> 00:10:31,824
You don't sleep, you rip ties
off innocent bystanders for me,
267
00:10:31,891 --> 00:10:34,427
you're killing yourself 24/7
to get me elected,
268
00:10:34,494 --> 00:10:36,362
and I don't even have your vote.
269
00:10:36,430 --> 00:10:38,731
Well, you're gonna need
to earn it,
270
00:10:38,798 --> 00:10:41,133
like any other candidate.
271
00:10:41,201 --> 00:10:45,637
If my research is right,
272
00:10:45,705 --> 00:10:49,341
that's right.
Oh, and uh, Fitz did fine, too.
273
00:10:49,408 --> 00:10:50,542
(Both chuckles)
274
00:10:50,610 --> 00:10:51,743
Not bad.
275
00:10:51,810 --> 00:10:53,612
They're still not touching.
276
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,079
(Chuckles)
277
00:10:55,147 --> 00:10:57,315
(Indistinct conversations)
278
00:10:57,383 --> 00:10:58,882
(Fitz) One more.
279
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:00,016
(Projector and camera shutter
clicking)
280
00:11:00,084 --> 00:11:01,485
There you go. One more.
281
00:11:01,553 --> 00:11:03,887
(Mellie) Very good job.
That's great.
282
00:11:03,955 --> 00:11:06,223
It's your turn. It's your turn, Fitz.
Okay, it's my turn.
283
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:07,258
Mm-hmm.
284
00:11:07,325 --> 00:11:08,425
(Mouth full) Delicious!
285
00:11:08,493 --> 00:11:09,693
(Laughs)
286
00:11:09,761 --> 00:11:12,028
Oh, wipe it off. Wipe it off.
287
00:11:12,096 --> 00:11:13,597
(Cyrus) Wipe it off.
Wipe it.
288
00:11:13,665 --> 00:11:15,131
Wipe it off. Wipe it off, Mellie.
Come on. Come on.
289
00:11:15,198 --> 00:11:16,432
(Both speak inaudibly)
290
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:18,434
Oh. Thank you.
291
00:11:18,502 --> 00:11:20,002
(Laughs)
Perfect.
292
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:22,938
Ice cream, anyone?
293
00:11:25,776 --> 00:11:27,943
Ugh! Who in the holy hell is
running that campaign?
294
00:11:28,011 --> 00:11:29,979
As far as I know, they haven't
made any official changes.
295
00:11:30,046 --> 00:11:32,614
Oh, yeah. That is a big, old
pile of dung, Billy chambers,
296
00:11:32,682 --> 00:11:34,316
and you know it.
297
00:11:34,384 --> 00:11:36,885
That is not the Fitzgerald grant
I ran against in Iowa.
298
00:11:36,952 --> 00:11:38,420
That is a candidate, Billy,
299
00:11:38,488 --> 00:11:40,255
a down-home, charming,
300
00:11:40,323 --> 00:11:41,823
red-blooded candidate
who's stealing my votes.
301
00:11:41,891 --> 00:11:43,325
Hell, I'm halfway
to voting for him.
302
00:11:43,393 --> 00:11:45,160
Now I want to find out
who's responsible
303
00:11:45,227 --> 00:11:46,727
so we can see
what we're dealing with here.
304
00:11:46,795 --> 00:11:48,262
I'm on it.
305
00:11:48,330 --> 00:11:50,964
Billy, it is not in God's plan
that I lose New Hampshire.
306
00:11:51,032 --> 00:11:53,601
Senator, I promise you,
307
00:11:53,669 --> 00:11:56,771
we will not lose New Hampshire.
308
00:11:56,838 --> 00:11:58,939
I'm a little superstitious,
309
00:11:59,007 --> 00:12:00,608
so we're not gonna have
any victory speeches
310
00:12:00,676 --> 00:12:02,343
until tomorrow night,
after everyone's voted.
311
00:12:02,411 --> 00:12:05,779
But for now, I just really
want to say thank you.
312
00:12:05,847 --> 00:12:07,815
Okay. Thanks. It's all you guys.
313
00:12:07,882 --> 00:12:10,284
(All cheering)
314
00:12:11,853 --> 00:12:14,855
Olivia Pope...
315
00:12:14,923 --> 00:12:16,824
I don't know how you do it.
316
00:12:16,891 --> 00:12:18,692
Oh, if we're passing out
credit, governor,
317
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:20,659
you and Mellie
deserve most of it.
318
00:12:20,727 --> 00:12:23,229
You two seem to be
doing much better.
319
00:12:25,665 --> 00:12:28,968
I think you underestimate
how good a politician I am.
320
00:12:31,571 --> 00:12:33,105
We're not gonna win
New Hampshire.
321
00:12:33,173 --> 00:12:34,873
What are you talking about?
The polls have us up by...
322
00:12:34,941 --> 00:12:37,608
story's coming out
in the morning paper, 6:00 A.M.
323
00:12:37,676 --> 00:12:39,044
They'll be reading about it
over their damn coffee,
324
00:12:39,111 --> 00:12:40,278
right before they vote.
325
00:12:40,346 --> 00:12:41,646
What story?
What's coming out?
326
00:12:41,714 --> 00:12:43,581
Mellie's having an affair.
327
00:12:50,756 --> 00:12:52,256
{Pub}Senator Sally Langston won
328
00:12:52,324 --> 00:12:53,591
the New Hampshire
republican primary Tuesday,
329
00:12:53,659 --> 00:12:55,159
with 98% of the precincts
reporting.
330
00:12:55,227 --> 00:12:57,594
Most attribute
the voters' change of heart
331
00:12:57,662 --> 00:12:59,864
to new allegations
that governor grant's wife
332
00:12:59,931 --> 00:13:02,566
is involved
in an extramarital affair.
333
00:13:02,633 --> 00:13:04,601
Now you can't blame this one
on me.
334
00:13:04,669 --> 00:13:06,536
You did a hell of a job
with those two.
335
00:13:06,604 --> 00:13:08,605
The thing is, this isn't a story
that goes away.
336
00:13:08,673 --> 00:13:10,007
You know, you can't spin
a dead marriage.
337
00:13:10,075 --> 00:13:11,607
Sally and Doug,
on the other hand... they're like
338
00:13:11,675 --> 00:13:14,210
a couple of teenagers who can't
keep their hands off each other.
339
00:13:14,278 --> 00:13:15,745
It's kinda gross, actually.
340
00:13:15,812 --> 00:13:17,480
Billy chambers.
Thanks for meeting me, Olivia.
341
00:13:17,547 --> 00:13:18,814
What do you want?
342
00:13:18,883 --> 00:13:20,250
Concede before South Carolina,
343
00:13:20,317 --> 00:13:22,518
and we'll give you
the V.P. slot.
344
00:13:22,586 --> 00:13:24,287
I'll take my check.
345
00:13:24,355 --> 00:13:26,889
(Laughs) Come on. You and I
on the same team?
346
00:13:26,956 --> 00:13:29,824
We'd be unstoppable. We could
play the spin machine,
347
00:13:29,893 --> 00:13:31,693
wrangle reporters,
have nice meals on the trail.
348
00:13:31,761 --> 00:13:33,028
Do you like barbecue?
349
00:13:33,096 --> 00:13:35,030
Are you asking me to concede
or out on a date?
350
00:13:35,098 --> 00:13:36,064
Maybe a little bit of both.
351
00:13:36,132 --> 00:13:38,333
(Chuckles)
352
00:13:38,401 --> 00:13:39,834
I hate barbecue.
353
00:13:39,903 --> 00:13:41,336
You're awfully confident
354
00:13:41,404 --> 00:13:42,504
for someone who's got
no cards left to play.
355
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:45,106
Oh, I always have cards
left to play.
356
00:13:45,173 --> 00:13:46,807
(Stevie wonder's "superstition"
playing)
357
00:13:46,875 --> 00:13:49,710
(Indistinct conversations)
358
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:55,582
This is the man who's
gonna save my campaign?
359
00:13:55,650 --> 00:13:56,850
Governor,
if they look like weapons,
360
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:58,152
they're hard to keep secret.
361
00:13:58,220 --> 00:14:00,353
You're late.
362
00:14:00,421 --> 00:14:01,754
Blame this guy.
363
00:14:01,822 --> 00:14:04,224
Cyrus, give us a minute.
364
00:14:04,292 --> 00:14:06,659
Huck,
365
00:14:06,727 --> 00:14:09,595
are you ready to reenter
the real world today?
366
00:14:09,663 --> 00:14:11,031
♪ Writing's on the wall ♪
367
00:14:11,098 --> 00:14:12,999
Is he wearing pants?
368
00:14:13,067 --> 00:14:15,167
(Huck) Paul Mosley...
369
00:14:15,235 --> 00:14:16,535
(Clicking)
Literacy policy advisor for...
370
00:14:16,602 --> 00:14:19,004
we all know who he is.
He was advising me on literacy.
371
00:14:19,072 --> 00:14:21,407
But that's it. End of story.
I would never...
372
00:14:21,474 --> 00:14:22,975
honey, it's not necessary.
We believe you.
373
00:14:23,043 --> 00:14:24,709
They were following you.
Did you know that?
374
00:14:24,777 --> 00:14:25,877
What?
375
00:14:25,946 --> 00:14:27,679
A guy like me,
but, like, cleaner,
376
00:14:27,747 --> 00:14:30,782
has been following you
for over seven months...
377
00:14:30,850 --> 00:14:33,151
(Clicking) Taking these photos,
gathering evidence to use against you,
378
00:14:33,218 --> 00:14:34,986
just waiting for the chance.
(Fitz) How'd you get these?
379
00:14:35,054 --> 00:14:37,021
Anything digital,
it's all just out there.
380
00:14:37,089 --> 00:14:39,324
Patterns of ones and zeros
waiting to be gotten.
381
00:14:39,391 --> 00:14:40,925
All these late night meetings...
it doesn't look good.
382
00:14:40,993 --> 00:14:41,892
And the story's
picking up traction
383
00:14:41,961 --> 00:14:43,461
because Mosley's not denying it.
384
00:14:43,528 --> 00:14:45,063
(Cyrus) They must
be paying him off.
385
00:14:45,130 --> 00:14:47,230
I pulled up all his financials.
His password is "literacy."
386
00:14:47,298 --> 00:14:49,732
What's he got? Swiss accounts?
Cayman Islands?
387
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,034
Uh, just small amounts.
388
00:14:51,102 --> 00:14:54,504
7 cents.
Uh, tiny step productions.
389
00:14:54,572 --> 00:14:57,140
Here's another $4.19.
390
00:14:57,208 --> 00:14:58,775
Hardly damning.
Keep looking.
391
00:14:58,843 --> 00:15:00,810
Well, small payments are interesting, too.
Why is that?
392
00:15:00,878 --> 00:15:02,512
Well, he's been getting
quarterly payments...
393
00:15:02,580 --> 00:15:04,080
(Keypad beeps) From tiny step
productions... tiny ones...
394
00:15:04,147 --> 00:15:06,548
going back 30 years.
395
00:15:06,616 --> 00:15:08,117
You ready to try something new?
396
00:15:08,185 --> 00:15:10,486
I was thinking of going savory,
but what's up?
397
00:15:10,553 --> 00:15:11,854
(Telephone rings)
398
00:15:13,223 --> 00:15:15,591
Excuse me. Hello.
399
00:15:15,658 --> 00:15:17,059
What do you do here?
400
00:15:17,127 --> 00:15:18,060
We're a feature film company.
401
00:15:18,128 --> 00:15:19,227
Oh? What kind of films?
402
00:15:19,295 --> 00:15:21,296
Specialty films, ma'am.
403
00:15:21,364 --> 00:15:24,599
Like educational or...
404
00:15:24,666 --> 00:15:26,267
(Cyrus) No way!
No... no way what?
405
00:15:26,335 --> 00:15:28,069
You lost your seat on the bus
when you ran
406
00:15:28,137 --> 00:15:30,472
that Mosley-Mellie affair
nonsense of a story
407
00:15:30,539 --> 00:15:32,007
without even running it by me.
408
00:15:32,074 --> 00:15:33,841
I called for comment.
You didn't pick up.
409
00:15:33,909 --> 00:15:35,742
I expected more from you,
James.
410
00:15:35,810 --> 00:15:37,944
Don't bully me
for doing my job, Cy.
411
00:15:38,013 --> 00:15:39,480
"Times" ran that story, too.
412
00:15:39,547 --> 00:15:41,681
Claire, you're off the bus, too.
Ask James why.
413
00:15:41,749 --> 00:15:43,550
Hey, Liv?
Yeah.
414
00:15:43,618 --> 00:15:45,285
We on top of this, getting this
guy to come clean? I'm on it.
415
00:15:45,353 --> 00:15:46,820
What does that mean, "you're on it"?
I got a guy.
416
00:15:46,888 --> 00:15:48,122
You got a guy? Another guy?
417
00:15:48,189 --> 00:15:50,157
Hells angel? Mobster?
418
00:15:50,225 --> 00:15:52,625
A kind-hearted felon
who owes you a favor?
419
00:15:52,692 --> 00:15:55,561
Technically, he's on probation.
420
00:15:55,629 --> 00:15:58,398
(Woman giggles) Don't forget
the little pinkie toe.
421
00:15:58,465 --> 00:15:59,665
(Door opens, keys jangle)
422
00:15:59,733 --> 00:16:00,833
(Man laughs) Mm!
423
00:16:00,901 --> 00:16:02,668
Mwah! Mm!
424
00:16:02,736 --> 00:16:04,803
Toe sucking... not my thing,
425
00:16:04,871 --> 00:16:07,305
but I admire the technique,
no matter the application.
426
00:16:07,373 --> 00:16:09,941
And you, Paul Mosley,
427
00:16:10,009 --> 00:16:12,244
a.k.a.
Brock "The Mouth" stone...
428
00:16:12,311 --> 00:16:14,546
(Laughs) You got mad skills.
You commit.
429
00:16:14,613 --> 00:16:16,114
Get the hell out of my house.
No wonder they made
430
00:16:16,182 --> 00:16:18,150
eight sequels
of "twinkle toes on parade."
431
00:16:18,217 --> 00:16:19,317
I'm calling the cops.
Save your minutes. I already did.
432
00:16:19,385 --> 00:16:20,919
I figured they'd need
a patrol or two
433
00:16:20,986 --> 00:16:22,687
to manage the media circus
that's gonna be tearing up
434
00:16:22,755 --> 00:16:24,888
your front lawn in about...
435
00:16:24,956 --> 00:16:26,290
Four minutes.
436
00:16:26,358 --> 00:16:27,791
You see this,
your toe-sucking highness,
437
00:16:27,859 --> 00:16:29,360
is your golden opportunity
438
00:16:29,428 --> 00:16:31,929
to fervently deny any remotely
romantic involvement
439
00:16:31,996 --> 00:16:34,798
with Mellie grant before
you are a national joke
440
00:16:34,866 --> 00:16:36,500
and the entire
literacy community
441
00:16:36,568 --> 00:16:37,968
that holds you
in such high esteem
442
00:16:38,036 --> 00:16:40,470
reads all about your lengthy
and decorated career
443
00:16:40,538 --> 00:16:42,439
as an artist of toe-rotica.
Wow!
444
00:16:42,506 --> 00:16:45,208
Can I get an amen, Paul?
445
00:16:45,276 --> 00:16:47,143
(Amplified voice)
We have the technology.
446
00:16:47,211 --> 00:16:50,213
We should aerial drone the hell
out of our Southern borders
447
00:16:50,281 --> 00:16:53,049
and protect our legal citizens.
448
00:16:53,117 --> 00:16:54,650
Unless, of course,
governor grant wants to open up
449
00:16:54,718 --> 00:16:57,018
his Santa Barbara ranch
for amnesty.
450
00:16:57,087 --> 00:16:58,820
(Laughter)
451
00:16:58,888 --> 00:17:00,389
(Amplified voice)
The next question is for you,
452
00:17:00,457 --> 00:17:01,990
governor grant. Your marriage
has received a lot of attention
453
00:17:02,058 --> 00:17:03,792
during this primary campaign.
454
00:17:03,859 --> 00:17:06,328
And while allegations of
infidelity have been dismissed,
455
00:17:06,396 --> 00:17:07,762
criticism lingers
amongst voters.
456
00:17:07,830 --> 00:17:09,030
Why do you think that is?
457
00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:10,532
We knew it was coming.
458
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,234
(Amplified voice) I think that
a lot gets lost in translation
459
00:17:13,302 --> 00:17:15,669
between real life
and packaged news footage.
460
00:17:15,737 --> 00:17:18,439
You can't capture 20 years
of marriage in a... in a snapshot.
461
00:17:18,507 --> 00:17:20,541
You can't capture chemistry
with a photo op.
462
00:17:20,609 --> 00:17:22,276
I know what some people perceive
463
00:17:22,344 --> 00:17:24,878
and what the...
The whispers are,
464
00:17:24,946 --> 00:17:27,214
but...
465
00:17:27,281 --> 00:17:29,616
The most honest thing
466
00:17:29,683 --> 00:17:32,085
that I can tell you about myself
right now, Kendal,
467
00:17:32,153 --> 00:17:34,754
is that...
468
00:17:34,822 --> 00:17:37,090
I'm a man in love
469
00:17:37,158 --> 00:17:39,126
with an incredible woman.
470
00:17:39,193 --> 00:17:41,728
(Applause)
471
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:43,629
(Camera shutters click)
472
00:17:54,608 --> 00:17:55,874
(Elevator bell dings)
473
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:04,081
(Elevator bell dings)
474
00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:12,190
(Elevator bell dings)
475
00:18:35,946 --> 00:18:37,647
(Elevator bell dings)
476
00:18:37,715 --> 00:18:39,448
There's the man!
477
00:18:39,516 --> 00:18:41,151
(Woman) Whoo!
Congratulations!
478
00:18:41,218 --> 00:18:43,486
Congratulations!
479
00:18:43,554 --> 00:18:44,688
Yeah!
480
00:18:44,755 --> 00:18:46,322
Uh-huh!
Whoo!
481
00:18:54,698 --> 00:18:55,831
(Elevator bell dings)
482
00:19:07,656 --> 00:19:10,158
{Pub}(Typing) Hi.
This is gideon Wallace from "the D.C. sun."
483
00:19:10,226 --> 00:19:13,327
We spoke last week about
Amanda Tanner in 3-b.
484
00:19:13,394 --> 00:19:14,661
Yes, I do know what time it is.
485
00:19:14,729 --> 00:19:16,897
Hey, I know it's late, but I...
486
00:19:16,965 --> 00:19:18,265
do you know who's looking
after Amanda's dog?
487
00:19:18,333 --> 00:19:19,700
I think it's a golden retriever.
488
00:19:19,767 --> 00:19:21,202
Do you know who's watching it
for her?
489
00:19:21,269 --> 00:19:23,938
Her boyfriend? Really?
490
00:19:24,005 --> 00:19:25,272
Look at these logs.
491
00:19:25,340 --> 00:19:26,973
This girl is
signing into the White House
492
00:19:27,041 --> 00:19:30,376
at the crack of dawn and signing
out in the wee hours, every day.
493
00:19:30,444 --> 00:19:32,846
You know what I think? I think
work and play overlapped.
494
00:19:32,913 --> 00:19:36,049
Think about it. She never goes
home, so where's she doing it?
495
00:19:36,116 --> 00:19:38,284
The White House, that's where.
496
00:19:38,352 --> 00:19:39,919
Oh, like you wouldn't.
497
00:19:39,987 --> 00:19:41,620
So she was sleeping with
someone in the White House,
498
00:19:41,688 --> 00:19:43,255
as apparently,
any red-blooded American would.
499
00:19:43,323 --> 00:19:45,224
And plus, it's gotta be someone
500
00:19:45,291 --> 00:19:46,992
in the parts of the west wing
she's logging into.
501
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:48,460
Come on.
That totally narrows it down.
502
00:19:48,527 --> 00:19:50,863
To 57 employees
of the male persuasion.
503
00:19:50,930 --> 00:19:54,366
So the question remains...
who's her baby daddy?
504
00:19:55,568 --> 00:19:57,402
Did you just say "baby daddy"?
505
00:19:57,470 --> 00:19:59,871
I need the latest poll numbers
506
00:19:59,938 --> 00:20:02,073
for Alabama, Arizona, Georgia,
Arkansas, Oklahoma.
507
00:20:02,140 --> 00:20:03,241
(Woman) I'm on it.
508
00:20:03,308 --> 00:20:04,809
Super Tuesday is coming, people,
509
00:20:04,877 --> 00:20:07,979
and it's gonna kill us
if we don't stay on top of it.
510
00:20:08,046 --> 00:20:09,013
(Indistinct conversations,
telephone ringing)
511
00:20:09,081 --> 00:20:10,515
Morning.
512
00:20:10,583 --> 00:20:13,050
Good morning, governor grant.
513
00:20:15,053 --> 00:20:16,987
Did you need something?
514
00:20:17,054 --> 00:20:19,823
No, just...
515
00:20:19,891 --> 00:20:20,858
No.
516
00:20:20,925 --> 00:20:21,892
Good.
517
00:20:28,032 --> 00:20:30,901
(Ring)
518
00:20:30,968 --> 00:20:33,803
(Second telephone rings)
519
00:20:37,174 --> 00:20:39,674
(Sighs deeply)
520
00:20:47,550 --> 00:20:49,084
I'm married.
I know.
521
00:20:49,152 --> 00:20:50,752
I'm running for president.
I know.
522
00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:52,388
I can't.
I don't want you to.
523
00:20:52,455 --> 00:20:55,323
But... just...
524
00:20:55,391 --> 00:20:57,725
Stand here with me,
525
00:20:57,793 --> 00:21:00,061
for one minute.
526
00:21:00,129 --> 00:21:02,663
Let's not go back in there
or talk or think
527
00:21:02,731 --> 00:21:04,698
or...
528
00:21:04,766 --> 00:21:06,200
For one minute,
we just stand here,
529
00:21:06,268 --> 00:21:07,668
and I'm not the candidate
530
00:21:07,736 --> 00:21:09,037
and you're not
the campaign fixer.
531
00:21:09,104 --> 00:21:11,204
We're just us.
532
00:21:11,272 --> 00:21:12,306
One minute, for one minute.
533
00:21:12,373 --> 00:21:15,175
Just...
534
00:21:15,243 --> 00:21:17,110
Stand here with me.
535
00:21:25,586 --> 00:21:27,453
One minute.
536
00:22:02,753 --> 00:22:04,821
Oh! Liv, there you are.
537
00:22:04,889 --> 00:22:06,390
You've really got to look
at what they have me wearing
538
00:22:06,458 --> 00:22:08,625
at the town hall tonight.
I really think it's too much.
539
00:22:10,161 --> 00:22:11,661
(Door closes)
540
00:22:16,166 --> 00:22:17,467
(Sighs)
541
00:22:20,237 --> 00:22:21,571
(Projector and camera shutter
clicks)
542
00:22:23,674 --> 00:22:25,575
(Click) Just got the tracking
polls for super Tuesday.
543
00:22:25,643 --> 00:22:27,176
You're still down with women.
544
00:22:27,244 --> 00:22:29,045
They're for Sally and they're
not changing their mind.
545
00:22:29,113 --> 00:22:31,179
I crushed her in that debate.
The whole country saw it.
546
00:22:31,247 --> 00:22:32,681
It's hard to win over women
547
00:22:32,749 --> 00:22:34,483
when there's a viable
female candidate in the race.
548
00:22:34,551 --> 00:22:36,218
We've been waiting a long time.
So what do we do?
549
00:22:36,285 --> 00:22:37,653
We've got the oppo on her.
550
00:22:37,721 --> 00:22:39,121
Three witnesses all willing
to speak on the record
551
00:22:39,188 --> 00:22:41,089
about snorting coke at a frat
party with Sally Langston,
552
00:22:41,157 --> 00:22:42,791
back when she was just a Tri Delt.
It won't work.
553
00:22:42,859 --> 00:22:45,093
You can't nail Sally Langston
on morality.
554
00:22:45,161 --> 00:22:48,462
Sally found God, Cyrus. Once you
find God, all is forgiven.
555
00:22:48,531 --> 00:22:50,832
That's kind of the point.
No, the point is we can't win without women.
556
00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:52,901
No. You take
the opposition research
557
00:22:52,968 --> 00:22:54,769
and you put it in the garbage.
558
00:22:54,837 --> 00:22:56,203
We're playing the rest
of the game above board,
559
00:22:56,271 --> 00:22:57,238
win or lose.
560
00:22:57,305 --> 00:22:58,640
Okay.
561
00:23:01,944 --> 00:23:03,610
(Clicking, cow moo)
562
00:23:03,678 --> 00:23:06,747
And that's exactly why I think
deregulation is a good thing,
563
00:23:06,814 --> 00:23:08,214
like this pie.
564
00:23:08,282 --> 00:23:09,816
Do y'all really get to eat this
all the time?
565
00:23:09,884 --> 00:23:12,252
'Cause if you do, I'll have to
spend a lot more time down here.
566
00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:13,386
(Laughter)
567
00:23:13,454 --> 00:23:15,121
(Sniffles) I'm sorry.
I just...
568
00:23:15,189 --> 00:23:17,791
I can't do this anymore.
569
00:23:17,859 --> 00:23:19,158
(Camera shutter clicks)
570
00:23:19,225 --> 00:23:21,293
Mel?
571
00:23:21,361 --> 00:23:24,530
It's okay, honey, I just...
I need to say it.
572
00:23:26,232 --> 00:23:28,901
(Sighs deeply)
573
00:23:28,969 --> 00:23:30,970
Um...
574
00:23:31,038 --> 00:23:33,439
A few months ago,
575
00:23:33,506 --> 00:23:35,040
Fitz and I found out
576
00:23:35,107 --> 00:23:38,309
that we were pregnant
with our third child.
577
00:23:38,377 --> 00:23:41,145
And we were so thrilled,
so excited
578
00:23:41,213 --> 00:23:44,716
to bring a new life
into our family.
579
00:23:44,784 --> 00:23:47,518
But...
580
00:23:47,587 --> 00:23:49,955
Campaigns can be so stressful,
581
00:23:50,022 --> 00:23:53,156
and I guess...
582
00:23:53,224 --> 00:23:55,158
Uh... (Sniffles)
583
00:23:55,226 --> 00:23:58,629
I guess my body
just couldn't handle it.
584
00:23:58,697 --> 00:24:01,665
And... I lost our baby.
585
00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:03,968
Even though it was
only eight weeks...
586
00:24:04,035 --> 00:24:06,570
(Sighs) It was a baby
587
00:24:06,637 --> 00:24:10,372
and it was a member
of our family and...
588
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,110
I have grieved
for the loss of our child
589
00:24:14,177 --> 00:24:16,412
every day since.
590
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,616
And I know that many of you
have sensed,
591
00:24:19,683 --> 00:24:21,584
um, I don't know,
592
00:24:21,652 --> 00:24:23,451
distance...
593
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:26,421
Between me and Fitz
during the campaign,
594
00:24:26,489 --> 00:24:30,525
while we have struggled
through this...
595
00:24:30,593 --> 00:24:33,061
Terrible experience
as best we could.
596
00:24:33,129 --> 00:24:36,832
And I should say... (Sniffles)
597
00:24:36,899 --> 00:24:38,500
Fitz wanted to quit
598
00:24:38,567 --> 00:24:43,270
to give us time
to take care of each other,
599
00:24:43,338 --> 00:24:45,106
but I wouldn't let him,
600
00:24:45,173 --> 00:24:49,243
because I truly believe
that he is the best person
601
00:24:49,310 --> 00:24:51,545
to be president
of the United States,
602
00:24:51,613 --> 00:24:55,782
and I couldn't let our loss
stand in the way of that.
603
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,421
(Utensil clatters)
604
00:25:02,489 --> 00:25:03,890
Oh.
605
00:25:03,958 --> 00:25:06,592
(Audience murmurs,
camera shutters clicking)
606
00:25:06,661 --> 00:25:08,594
(Lowered voice) I think
that ought to take care of it,
607
00:25:08,663 --> 00:25:09,963
don't you?
608
00:25:10,031 --> 00:25:12,698
(Clicking)
609
00:25:18,275 --> 00:25:19,776
{Pub}Hey, Marco. How's
the night shift treating you?
610
00:25:19,844 --> 00:25:23,579
Cool. Did you get
that coroner's report yet?
611
00:25:25,215 --> 00:25:26,181
Seriously?
612
00:25:26,249 --> 00:25:28,484
How far along?
613
00:25:28,552 --> 00:25:30,386
Hi. Gideon Wallace. "D.C. sun."
614
00:25:30,454 --> 00:25:31,954
Yeah, that's right.
I called before.
615
00:25:32,021 --> 00:25:33,456
No, I didn't know you needed
to be at work in an hour.
616
00:25:33,523 --> 00:25:35,424
Do you know Amanda's boyfriend?
He's... mm-hmm.
617
00:25:35,492 --> 00:25:37,892
Watching her dog...
Works at the White House.
618
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,427
You don't know his name?
619
00:25:39,495 --> 00:25:40,829
Lives in Logan circle.
(Slaps table)
620
00:25:40,896 --> 00:25:42,731
All right. Thank you.
621
00:25:42,798 --> 00:25:44,566
(Beep)
(Chuckles)
622
00:25:44,633 --> 00:25:47,969
Old. Old. Ugly. Psycho eyes.
623
00:25:48,036 --> 00:25:50,572
Ugly. Old. Old.
624
00:25:50,639 --> 00:25:52,740
I have learned so much tonight.
625
00:25:52,807 --> 00:25:53,807
What about this guy?
626
00:25:53,875 --> 00:25:55,476
Robert Sullivan,
deputy assistant
627
00:25:55,543 --> 00:25:57,578
to the president for homeland security.
Why him?
628
00:25:57,645 --> 00:25:59,380
He's cute.
But look at that smile.
629
00:25:59,447 --> 00:26:01,214
He could totally be a killer.
You think whoever knocked her up
630
00:26:01,282 --> 00:26:02,583
was also the one
who killed her?
631
00:26:02,650 --> 00:26:04,251
Of course.
It's always the boyfriend.
632
00:26:04,318 --> 00:26:05,786
Of course.
633
00:26:39,018 --> 00:26:43,020
I was sorry to hear
about your loss.
634
00:26:43,087 --> 00:26:45,623
Are you...
635
00:26:45,690 --> 00:26:47,858
Is Mellie okay?
636
00:26:47,926 --> 00:26:50,160
If she needs to take a break
from the campaign,
637
00:26:50,228 --> 00:26:51,762
I'm sure we could...
638
00:26:51,830 --> 00:26:53,731
Mellie's fine.
639
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:56,666
She flew to Alabama. She's doing
12 campaign stops in 2 days.
640
00:26:56,734 --> 00:26:59,669
She's thrilled.
641
00:26:59,737 --> 00:27:02,705
Nothing keeps that woman down,
642
00:27:02,773 --> 00:27:04,507
not even a fake miscarriage.
643
00:27:09,814 --> 00:27:13,048
She's a real catch, my wife.
644
00:27:13,115 --> 00:27:14,716
I'm a lucky man.
645
00:27:14,784 --> 00:27:16,384
I'm sorry.
646
00:27:16,453 --> 00:27:19,254
Oh, God. Please don't.
Don't be nice to me.
647
00:27:19,322 --> 00:27:21,323
I'm sitting here complaining
to you about my wife,
648
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:23,925
which is sleazy and low
and not fair to you
649
00:27:23,993 --> 00:27:25,193
and the oldest trick
in the book.
650
00:27:25,261 --> 00:27:27,862
(Chuckles)
651
00:27:27,930 --> 00:27:29,597
Suddenly I'm looking down
at myself
652
00:27:29,665 --> 00:27:32,467
and I'm...
653
00:27:32,534 --> 00:27:34,302
How did I get here?
654
00:27:36,571 --> 00:27:39,739
Why didn't I meet you sooner?
655
00:27:39,807 --> 00:27:42,076
What kind of a coward was I
to marry her
656
00:27:42,143 --> 00:27:45,079
and not wait for you
to show up?
657
00:27:53,420 --> 00:27:54,787
Governor grant...
658
00:27:54,855 --> 00:27:56,122
oh, for God sake,
659
00:27:56,190 --> 00:27:59,859
we are so far beyond
the "governor grant" crap.
660
00:27:59,926 --> 00:28:01,394
Just say my name.
661
00:28:01,462 --> 00:28:03,896
That's crossing the line.
It would be inappropriate.
662
00:28:03,964 --> 00:28:06,799
Then let's be inappropriate.
663
00:28:09,635 --> 00:28:11,203
(Chuckles)
664
00:28:14,340 --> 00:28:15,740
Say my name.
665
00:28:39,731 --> 00:28:41,331
(Whispers) Fitz.
666
00:28:44,301 --> 00:28:45,668
(Chuckles)
667
00:29:12,461 --> 00:29:16,330
This is me. How early are
we starting tomorrow?
668
00:29:16,398 --> 00:29:18,199
6:00 A.M. pancake breakfast
at the baptist church
669
00:29:18,267 --> 00:29:19,733
and a prayer meeting.
670
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:22,636
I can already feel the holy
water burning my pagan flesh.
671
00:29:22,704 --> 00:29:23,971
Night.
(Chuckles)
672
00:29:24,039 --> 00:29:25,273
Night.
Good night.
673
00:29:27,576 --> 00:29:29,076
(Door closes)
674
00:29:33,948 --> 00:29:36,316
This is me.
675
00:29:36,384 --> 00:29:38,017
I'm down there.
676
00:29:45,192 --> 00:29:47,859
Just go in your room
and close the door,
677
00:29:47,927 --> 00:29:50,196
and we'll pretend
this never happened.
678
00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:58,404
Go in your room.
679
00:30:29,734 --> 00:30:31,201
(Moans)
680
00:30:36,973 --> 00:30:41,177
(Both panting)
681
00:30:41,245 --> 00:30:42,311
(Lamp shatters)
682
00:30:42,379 --> 00:30:45,281
(Moaning)
683
00:30:57,694 --> 00:30:59,028
Take off your clothes.
684
00:31:06,001 --> 00:31:08,102
(Pants)
685
00:31:30,692 --> 00:31:32,258
(Whispers indistinctly)
686
00:31:37,831 --> 00:31:39,231
(Moans)
687
00:31:57,783 --> 00:31:59,250
(Sighs)
688
00:32:01,653 --> 00:32:04,589
(Olivia moans)
689
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:06,891
(Olivia panting)
690
00:32:06,959 --> 00:32:09,760
(Panting)
691
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:18,035
(Keypad beeps)
692
00:32:18,103 --> 00:32:19,870
Yeah, I think I got something.
693
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:21,404
Some woman.
694
00:32:21,472 --> 00:32:23,207
Nah, you can't tell who it is.
695
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:26,008
They're not exactly talking.
696
00:32:26,076 --> 00:32:29,545
Yep. I'll send it your way.
697
00:32:39,456 --> 00:32:43,058
(Typing)
698
00:32:49,598 --> 00:32:51,399
This goes to your boss.
699
00:32:56,105 --> 00:32:57,204
(Muffled scream)
700
00:33:01,009 --> 00:33:02,877
(Clicking)
701
00:33:07,749 --> 00:33:11,652
(Indistinct conversations)
702
00:33:11,719 --> 00:33:13,987
Sorry to interrupt.
703
00:33:14,054 --> 00:33:15,454
This just came for you.
704
00:33:15,522 --> 00:33:17,290
Thank you.
705
00:33:17,357 --> 00:33:18,658
I'm sorry.
What's your name again?
706
00:33:18,725 --> 00:33:20,226
There's so many new people
around here,
707
00:33:20,294 --> 00:33:21,661
I keep losing track.
708
00:33:21,728 --> 00:33:23,629
Amanda. Tanner.
And please, no worries.
709
00:33:23,697 --> 00:33:26,565
I'm just happy to be here. I'm
a huge fan of senator Langston.
710
00:33:26,633 --> 00:33:27,934
Amanda.
711
00:33:28,002 --> 00:33:29,401
I won't forget this time.
712
00:33:29,468 --> 00:33:30,602
I promise.
713
00:33:30,670 --> 00:33:33,738
(Indistinct conversations)
714
00:33:47,385 --> 00:33:48,652
(Sighs deeply)
715
00:34:07,905 --> 00:34:09,573
(Olivia moans)
716
00:34:11,543 --> 00:34:13,744
(Fitz) Take off your clothes.
717
00:34:13,812 --> 00:34:17,013
(Turns off cd player)
718
00:34:17,081 --> 00:34:19,382
Cyrus got this?
In the mail?
719
00:34:19,450 --> 00:34:22,184
Someone's had this
for two years.
720
00:34:22,252 --> 00:34:23,919
Why wait? Why now?
721
00:34:23,987 --> 00:34:25,788
All they had was
a tape and a voice.
722
00:34:25,856 --> 00:34:27,457
They needed the voice.
723
00:34:27,524 --> 00:34:29,191
They needed a girl.
724
00:34:29,259 --> 00:34:32,261
They needed Amanda Tanner.
725
00:34:32,329 --> 00:34:34,563
(Sighs)
726
00:34:42,250 --> 00:34:43,851
{Pub}If the baby's blood type is A,
and Amanda's is B,
727
00:34:43,919 --> 00:34:45,953
then the father has to be
either type A or type AB.
728
00:34:46,021 --> 00:34:47,388
We could subpoena
729
00:34:47,455 --> 00:34:49,523
the White House personnel files
for the blood types.
730
00:34:49,591 --> 00:34:51,458
Alissa, we don't have enough
to subpoena anyone for anything.
731
00:34:51,526 --> 00:34:53,728
(Sighs) But we are so close.
732
00:34:53,796 --> 00:34:54,929
We're not close.
733
00:34:54,997 --> 00:34:56,863
We have a suicide and a hunch.
Go home.
734
00:34:56,931 --> 00:34:58,331
What?
Get some sleep.
735
00:34:58,399 --> 00:35:00,567
Study for the bar.
Go shoe shopping.
736
00:35:00,634 --> 00:35:03,136
Sorry I kept you up all night
on a wild... nothing.
737
00:35:03,204 --> 00:35:04,171
David?
738
00:35:04,238 --> 00:35:05,138
Yeah?
739
00:35:05,206 --> 00:35:07,808
I'm not.
740
00:35:07,875 --> 00:35:10,510
(Sighs deeply)
741
00:35:13,714 --> 00:35:14,847
Good night.
742
00:35:14,915 --> 00:35:16,215
Night.
743
00:35:16,282 --> 00:35:18,818
Hi. Uh, this is gideon Wallace
with "the D.C. sun."
744
00:35:18,885 --> 00:35:21,319
I'd like to speak to
chief of staff chambers, please.
745
00:35:23,255 --> 00:35:25,757
Oh, you answer your own phone.
Cool.
746
00:35:25,825 --> 00:35:28,292
Uh, I'm calling to get a quote for a
story I'm working on. (Door opens)
747
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,462
(Whispers) I'm gonna run out
and grab some bagels.
748
00:35:31,530 --> 00:35:32,831
Right.
749
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,535
Okay.
750
00:35:38,603 --> 00:35:41,138
Well, it's about your
relationship with Amanda Tanner.
751
00:35:42,506 --> 00:35:43,707
Thank you, governor.
752
00:35:43,775 --> 00:35:46,409
(Telephone ringing)
753
00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:47,745
Billy.
754
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:48,879
Don't thank me
until you hear it.
755
00:35:48,947 --> 00:35:50,413
That was governor grant.
756
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:52,982
I've just accepted his offer
to be his V.P.
757
00:35:53,050 --> 00:35:54,884
Billy, we were creamed
on super Tuesday.
758
00:35:54,952 --> 00:35:56,452
We are out of options.
759
00:35:56,519 --> 00:35:58,621
So what, we just...
no. No.
760
00:35:58,688 --> 00:35:59,956
He is a philandering
faux conservative
761
00:36:00,023 --> 00:36:01,490
who will destroy everything,
762
00:36:01,558 --> 00:36:04,326
every single thing that we have
promised to millions of people,
763
00:36:04,394 --> 00:36:06,462
honest Americans.
What are we gonna say to them?
764
00:36:06,529 --> 00:36:08,529
Tell 'em to vote.
Vote grant-Langston.
765
00:36:08,597 --> 00:36:10,031
This makes super Tuesday
nothing,
766
00:36:10,099 --> 00:36:11,967
a blip. Just listen.
All right, not for me,
767
00:36:12,034 --> 00:36:13,769
but for the future
of our country.
768
00:36:13,836 --> 00:36:15,103
Matthew 13:24.
769
00:36:15,171 --> 00:36:17,072
There's a parable about
a group of enemies
770
00:36:17,140 --> 00:36:19,307
who plant bad seeds amongst
the good ones to ruin the crops.
771
00:36:19,375 --> 00:36:21,977
The farmer notices weeds
growing amongst the fruit.
772
00:36:22,044 --> 00:36:23,578
The servants ask the farmer
if they should round up
773
00:36:23,646 --> 00:36:25,913
the weeds before the harvest,
and what does the farmer say?
774
00:36:25,981 --> 00:36:27,414
"No. Let them grow together."
775
00:36:27,482 --> 00:36:31,018
One day, God will burn the weeds
and save the fruit, Billy,
776
00:36:31,086 --> 00:36:34,021
but for now, let 'em grow.
777
00:36:34,089 --> 00:36:36,490
(Ring)
778
00:37:00,613 --> 00:37:02,614
You need to get back
to the White House
779
00:37:02,682 --> 00:37:04,249
before the press corps
comes in.
780
00:37:04,317 --> 00:37:06,518
Mm.
781
00:37:11,157 --> 00:37:13,090
(Chuckles)
782
00:37:13,158 --> 00:37:15,359
I've imagined your place
a thousand times.
783
00:37:15,427 --> 00:37:17,594
I like it.
784
00:37:17,662 --> 00:37:19,430
It's very you.
785
00:37:19,497 --> 00:37:23,367
Yeah.
Living alone has its perks.
786
00:37:28,605 --> 00:37:29,973
I should go.
787
00:37:30,041 --> 00:37:31,808
You should go.
788
00:37:34,445 --> 00:37:36,079
Oh.
789
00:37:39,717 --> 00:37:40,884
One minute?
790
00:37:44,755 --> 00:37:46,556
Yeah. One minute.
791
00:39:36,561 --> 00:39:38,727
Good-bye, Livvie.
792
00:39:42,266 --> 00:39:44,934
Good-bye, Mr. president.
793
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:55,143
(Door opens and closes)
794
00:40:02,685 --> 00:40:04,152
(Projector and camera shutter
clicking)
795
00:40:04,220 --> 00:40:07,289
Amanda Tanner worked
in the west wing with you.
796
00:40:07,357 --> 00:40:09,023
There's pictures
of the two of you
797
00:40:09,091 --> 00:40:10,524
including several with her dog.
798
00:40:10,592 --> 00:40:12,293
Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.
Can we just get right
799
00:40:12,361 --> 00:40:13,995
to the point here, gideon?
What are you saying exactly?
800
00:40:14,062 --> 00:40:15,662
I think you had
a relationship with Amanda.
801
00:40:15,730 --> 00:40:17,198
I think you were her boyfriend.
802
00:40:17,265 --> 00:40:21,568
(Chuckles)
803
00:40:21,636 --> 00:40:24,605
(Clears throat) Is that it?
Is that your big discovery,
804
00:40:24,672 --> 00:40:26,406
that we were
boyfriend and girlfriend?
805
00:40:26,474 --> 00:40:28,674
That we held hands?
Went steady?
806
00:40:28,742 --> 00:40:30,143
If I were the vice president's
chief of staff,
807
00:40:30,211 --> 00:40:31,978
that's not something that
I would want people to know,
808
00:40:32,046 --> 00:40:34,014
especially considering
that she... morons.
809
00:40:34,081 --> 00:40:35,548
What?
810
00:40:35,616 --> 00:40:38,418
I'm surrounded by morons.
Huge, clueless morons.
811
00:40:38,486 --> 00:40:39,785
I've got a story here.
812
00:40:39,853 --> 00:40:42,988
Yeah, genius, you do,
only it's the wrong one.
813
00:40:43,056 --> 00:40:44,990
I'm not the story.
The president's the story.
814
00:40:45,058 --> 00:40:46,958
The president is the one
who slept with Amanda Tanner.
815
00:40:47,027 --> 00:40:48,793
I was your source
in the White House.
816
00:40:48,861 --> 00:40:50,295
I sent you the pictures
817
00:40:50,363 --> 00:40:51,863
of Amanda and the president
and the stupid dog.
818
00:40:51,931 --> 00:40:53,399
I sent you the west wing logs.
819
00:40:53,466 --> 00:40:55,467
She visited him
practically every day.
820
00:40:55,535 --> 00:40:58,569
Dear God, man, I did everything
except draw you a picture
821
00:40:58,637 --> 00:41:00,938
of their figures doing it!
822
00:41:01,006 --> 00:41:03,274
All you had to do was
put two and two together.
823
00:41:03,342 --> 00:41:05,209
What is it with people?
824
00:41:05,277 --> 00:41:07,445
Why are they
so freaking stupid?!
825
00:41:07,513 --> 00:41:10,314
You, Amanda. It was
an easy script for both of you.
826
00:41:10,382 --> 00:41:12,083
Big letters, small words.
827
00:41:12,151 --> 00:41:14,217
You could... you could follow it
in your sleep.
828
00:41:14,285 --> 00:41:18,321
Oh, my God. You sent her in
to sleep with the president.
829
00:41:18,389 --> 00:41:20,857
"Oh, my God." (Scoffs)
830
00:41:20,925 --> 00:41:22,959
You call yourself a journalist?
You're a joke.
831
00:41:23,027 --> 00:41:24,761
You could have been
the next woodward and Bernstein
832
00:41:24,828 --> 00:41:26,396
and the best you can do is
tell everyone
833
00:41:26,464 --> 00:41:28,698
that I had a relationship
with a crazy dead girl?
834
00:41:28,766 --> 00:41:30,599
Good luck with that story.
835
00:41:30,667 --> 00:41:32,134
That's not all I came up with.
836
00:41:32,202 --> 00:41:33,735
You're an idiot.
837
00:41:33,803 --> 00:41:35,271
Whatever you say,
I'll just deny it.
838
00:41:35,338 --> 00:41:36,972
This conversation
never happened.
839
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,507
According to
the coroner's report,
840
00:41:38,575 --> 00:41:41,043
Amanda was 13 weeks pregnant.
I bet it's your baby.
841
00:41:41,111 --> 00:41:43,946
I may be a joke,
but "dead White House intern
842
00:41:44,013 --> 00:41:45,580
was carrying V.P. aide's
love child"...
843
00:41:45,647 --> 00:41:47,215
that sure sounds like
a story to me.
844
00:41:47,283 --> 00:41:49,684
I even have a copy
of the coroner's report
845
00:41:49,751 --> 00:41:50,985
if you want to see it.
Gotta believe they can run
846
00:41:51,053 --> 00:41:53,054
a D.N.A. match between you
and a fetus.
847
00:41:53,122 --> 00:41:55,523
This conversation
might be easy to deny,
848
00:41:55,591 --> 00:41:57,592
but that sure as hell
wouldn't be, would it?
849
00:41:57,659 --> 00:41:59,327
Let me just see
where I put that.
850
00:41:59,395 --> 00:42:00,295
I'll show you.
851
00:42:02,730 --> 00:42:05,665
(Grunts) Aah! Oh!
852
00:42:05,733 --> 00:42:09,336
(Moaning)
853
00:42:09,404 --> 00:42:11,004
(Grunting)
854
00:42:11,072 --> 00:42:12,606
(Fitz, voice amplified)
It is my honor
855
00:42:12,673 --> 00:42:14,975
to have senator Langston's
conviction
856
00:42:15,042 --> 00:42:17,610
and strong sense of justice
by my side.
857
00:42:17,677 --> 00:42:19,412
And with your support,
858
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,547
we are gonna take
the White House in November
859
00:42:21,615 --> 00:42:23,149
and we are gonna bring America
860
00:42:23,217 --> 00:42:24,683
the change
it's been waiting for!
861
00:42:24,751 --> 00:42:26,552
(Cheering)
862
00:42:26,620 --> 00:42:30,456
Whoo!
863
00:42:35,461 --> 00:42:38,263
(Projector and camera shutter
click)
864
