1
00:00:02,684 --> 00:00:05,403
"The Liberty Report"
with Sally Langston.
2
00:00:05,439 --> 00:00:07,611
Two gifts have arrived,
3
00:00:07,646 --> 00:00:09,370
addressed to you,
Lovers of Liberty.
4
00:00:09,405 --> 00:00:12,110
The first gift...
Hollis Doyle.
5
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:15,246
The Texas truth-teller is
throwing his hat into the ring.
6
00:00:15,282 --> 00:00:18,416
To which I say... yee-haw!
Saddle up, little doggie.
7
00:00:18,452 --> 00:00:20,218
The second gift?
8
00:00:20,253 --> 00:00:21,720
Well, yours truly has agreed
9
00:00:21,755 --> 00:00:23,788
to host
the first Republican debate...
10
00:00:23,824 --> 00:00:26,424
a duty I take very seriously,
11
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:27,892
for debates mean setting aside
12
00:00:27,928 --> 00:00:29,894
petty infighting
between the candidates
13
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:31,029
and putting the lofty concerns
14
00:00:31,064 --> 00:00:33,531
of the voters and the republic
above all.
15
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:34,599
Come on.
16
00:00:34,634 --> 00:00:35,800
You really think
it's okay for your network
17
00:00:35,836 --> 00:00:36,968
to allow Hollis Doyle's
super PAC to advertise
18
00:00:37,004 --> 00:00:37,936
during the debate?
19
00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:38,903
We haven't decided
on super PACs.
20
00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:40,105
The Supreme Court
21
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:41,406
- calls that free speech, Livvie.
- You may as well say,
22
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:43,908
"This debate sponsored
by Hollis Doyle Industries."
23
00:00:43,944 --> 00:00:44,809
Fine by me.
I can afford it.
24
00:00:44,845 --> 00:00:45,944
Are you sure
you don't want
25
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,278
your lawyer to represent you
in these negotiations,
26
00:00:47,314 --> 00:00:48,346
Mr. Doyle?
27
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:49,714
Ain't nobody speaks better
for Hollis Doyle
28
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:50,548
than Hollis Doyle.
29
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:51,549
Mnh-mnh.
No siree Bob.
30
00:00:51,585 --> 00:00:52,550
Okay, fine.
31
00:00:52,586 --> 00:00:54,552
BNC will ban
all candidates' super PACs
32
00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:55,587
from running ads.
33
00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:56,988
Now,
let's discuss podiums.
34
00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:58,623
- We want clear, Lucite.
- Oh, no way.
35
00:00:58,658 --> 00:01:00,058
My candidate's
vertically challenged.
36
00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:01,026
She needs a box to stand on.
37
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,227
And risk losing
that shorty vote?
38
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:03,695
She can't use a box
if the podium is clear.
39
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:04,929
That's all
people would talk about.
40
00:01:04,965 --> 00:01:06,164
I'd kill
for some of that shorty vote.
41
00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:07,332
The purpose
of this whole endeavor
42
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:08,366
is for the voters
to get a good, clear look
43
00:01:08,402 --> 00:01:09,567
at all the candidates.
44
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:11,369
Oh, please. This is all about
showing off Mellie's legs.
45
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:12,404
Not at all.
46
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,773
Solid podium, 6-inch box.
Moving on.
47
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:17,042
Whatever candidate is ahead
in the BNC poll
48
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:19,010
released 24 hours ahead
of the debate
49
00:01:19,046 --> 00:01:20,278
is declared
the front-runner
50
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:21,913
and gets the podium
at center stage.
51
00:01:21,948 --> 00:01:22,914
Your poll?
52
00:01:22,949 --> 00:01:24,082
You have a problem
with our polling?
53
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:25,984
Your samples are tiny.
Your questions are vague.
54
00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:28,219
- Frankly, your polling sucks.
- She is right.
55
00:01:28,288 --> 00:01:29,554
It isn't reliable enough
to determine a front-runner.
56
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:30,922
The stakes of who's at
the center podium are too high.
57
00:01:30,957 --> 00:01:34,492
We stand by our poll.
This point is not negotiable.
58
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:37,162
We want a red light
indicating when time is up...
59
00:01:37,197 --> 00:01:38,763
a light and a buzzer.
60
00:01:40,233 --> 00:01:41,866
Y'all think
some little toy buzzer's
61
00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:44,102
gonna keep the truth
from tumbling from these jaws?
62
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:45,670
I say,
good luck and Godspeed.
63
00:01:45,705 --> 00:01:47,172
No light.
No buzzer.
64
00:01:47,207 --> 00:01:48,706
Then no Mellie.
65
00:01:48,742 --> 00:01:50,675
Next issue...
opening statements.
66
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:52,010
Did you hear me?
67
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:53,211
I'm pulling my candidate.
68
00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:55,346
Whoa! That's some sore losin'
right there.
69
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:57,182
It's no secret that Sally
and Hollis are friends.
70
00:01:57,217 --> 00:01:58,750
If there's no buzzer,
no blinking light,
71
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:00,718
she'll let him run wild,
fill all the air time.
72
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:02,387
I'm sorry...
no light, no buzzer.
73
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:04,089
Then this debate is biased
before it begins.
74
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:04,989
We're out.
75
00:02:05,025 --> 00:02:06,291
Olivia, don't.
76
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:07,759
Save it, Richard.
She's just posturing.
77
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:10,195
I'm pulling Mellie,
and auctioning off
78
00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:12,697
a one-hour exclusive interview
with her
79
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:13,965
to your competition.
80
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,967
And whichever network gives me
the most favorable terms
81
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:17,368
gets to air that interview
live...
82
00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:18,703
go head-to-head
with your debate
83
00:02:18,738 --> 00:02:21,172
and spend the hour
slamming BNC's blatant bias
84
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:23,074
while sucking
half your ratings.
85
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:25,343
Good luck explaining that
to your advertisers.
86
00:02:25,378 --> 00:02:27,479
Ms. Pope...
87
00:02:32,385 --> 00:02:34,352
How'd it go?
88
00:02:34,387 --> 00:02:35,320
Just wait.
89
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:36,254
I don't...
90
00:02:36,289 --> 00:02:37,188
Why are you smiling?
91
00:02:37,224 --> 00:02:38,857
Just wait.
92
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:42,093
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
93
00:02:42,129 --> 00:02:44,195
Okay, Olivia.
Lights and buzzers.
94
00:02:44,231 --> 00:02:45,230
Of my choosing.
95
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:46,364
Fine.
96
00:02:46,399 --> 00:02:47,665
Good.
97
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:49,234
Now, about those podiums.
98
00:02:50,448 --> 00:02:55,448
Sync and corrections by explosiveskull
www.addic7ed.com
99
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:00,078
What you're suggesting,
Mr. Doyle...
100
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:01,779
that's not
an immigration policy,
101
00:03:01,815 --> 00:03:03,214
it's institutionalized
racism.
102
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:05,216
- Now, hold on a minute.
- If we close our borders...
103
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:08,953
Do you have any idea how much
of our economy depends
104
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:11,356
on the ideas and contributions
of non-citizens?
105
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:13,158
The best young minds
in the world,
106
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,827
they come here,
they enroll in our universities,
107
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:17,629
and once they graduate,
they stay.
108
00:03:17,664 --> 00:03:19,731
And we want them to stay.
109
00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:23,201
They become our engineers,
our doctors, our scientists.
110
00:03:23,236 --> 00:03:25,770
Immigration isn't a curse,
Mr. Doyle.
111
00:03:25,805 --> 00:03:28,840
It's the key
to staying competitive.
112
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:29,807
How was that?
113
00:03:29,843 --> 00:03:31,075
Good.
114
00:03:31,111 --> 00:03:33,444
Excellent, actually.
115
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,713
She's knocking it
out of the park.
116
00:03:35,749 --> 00:03:37,916
Climate change, immigration,
reproductive rights.
117
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:39,083
You're trying
to psych me out.
118
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:40,351
I'm trying to recruit you.
119
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:43,821
Susan is the real deal, Liv...
smart, passionate.
120
00:03:43,857 --> 00:03:44,722
Relatable?
121
00:03:44,758 --> 00:03:46,491
You say that so longingly.
122
00:03:46,526 --> 00:03:48,526
- Is Mellie...
- Being Mellie?
123
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:50,128
- Yes.
- I can't... I won't...
124
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:52,330
I guarantee you
there is no one on this planet
125
00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:54,499
as stubborn and as arrogant
and as big a pain in the ass
126
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:55,900
as Mellie Grant.
127
00:03:55,969 --> 00:04:00,505
And yet, somehow, I think
she'd make a great president.
128
00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:01,739
Is that crazy?
129
00:04:01,775 --> 00:04:03,107
Yes.
Yes, it is, Liv.
130
00:04:03,143 --> 00:04:06,110
Speaking of wannabe presidents,
you've heard the rumors?
131
00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:08,313
I have.
132
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:10,215
- Well? Is it true?
- I don't know.
133
00:04:10,283 --> 00:04:12,283
If anyone knew, it'd be you.
Aren't you curious?
134
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,286
I'm looking into it.
135
00:04:17,857 --> 00:04:19,224
So, are you
running for President?
136
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:20,758
How'd you hear?
137
00:04:20,794 --> 00:04:21,993
You should announce.
138
00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:23,895
I'm announcing
in the morning.
139
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:25,496
Before I do,
I wanted to check in with you
140
00:04:25,532 --> 00:04:26,965
- about Meridian Terrace
- About Meridian Terrace.
141
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:29,267
Don't worry about it.
142
00:04:29,302 --> 00:04:30,568
It's just,
once I announce,
143
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:32,870
my enemies will dig deeper
than ever before.
144
00:04:32,906 --> 00:04:36,407
Edison,
don't worry about it.
145
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:37,976
You vouched for me
on national television.
146
00:04:38,011 --> 00:04:40,011
I owe you.
147
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:42,914
Thank you, Liv.
148
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:44,215
Mm-hmm.
149
00:04:46,853 --> 00:04:48,152
Edison?
150
00:04:49,589 --> 00:04:52,557
You'll be
a great candidate.
151
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:55,627
Thanks.
152
00:04:55,695 --> 00:04:58,296
I figure it's about time we had
our first black president.
153
00:04:58,331 --> 00:05:00,531
Mm.
154
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:03,268
It's about time we had
our first woman president.
155
00:05:08,174 --> 00:05:09,641
Good luck
in the election.
156
00:05:09,676 --> 00:05:12,143
You, too.
157
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:21,586
Help me.
158
00:05:21,621 --> 00:05:23,554
Oh! David!
What the hell?
159
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:25,023
I'm sorry.
I needed someone to talk to,
160
00:05:25,091 --> 00:05:27,158
and you're the only one
I can talk to about this.
161
00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:29,160
"This" as in the two women
you're still seeing?
162
00:05:29,195 --> 00:05:30,228
It's an addiction.
163
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:31,596
David, I don't have time.
164
00:05:31,631 --> 00:05:33,665
With one woman...
the good woman...
165
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,101
the sex is
good, intimate.
166
00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:36,901
Stop talking.
167
00:05:36,936 --> 00:05:39,103
But with the other woman...
the nasty woman...
168
00:05:39,139 --> 00:05:40,238
the sex is...
169
00:05:40,273 --> 00:05:42,407
Well, it's still good,
but it's nasty.
170
00:05:42,442 --> 00:05:43,274
Not listening.
171
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:44,609
The things she does,
Abby...
172
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:47,145
the vile, awful things...
the biting...
173
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,379
Okay.
This is harassment!
174
00:05:48,415 --> 00:05:50,148
It's starting
to affect my work.
175
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:51,749
I'm zoning out
all the time.
176
00:05:51,785 --> 00:05:53,551
I'm forgetting
important details.
177
00:05:53,586 --> 00:05:55,520
How is the Attorney General
of the United States
178
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:56,621
supposed to do his job
179
00:05:56,656 --> 00:05:58,589
when he's in some weird,
dirty sex trance?
180
00:05:58,625 --> 00:05:59,624
You stop seeing her.
181
00:05:59,659 --> 00:06:00,792
- Which her?
- I don't care.
182
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:02,260
I need your help.
Help me choose.
183
00:06:02,295 --> 00:06:03,528
Get out!
184
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:07,265
Rosen.
185
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,866
In here... now.
186
00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:15,740
David.
187
00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:17,375
Oh.
Hi, Susan.
188
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:18,876
Sit.
189
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:20,545
I asked David
to join us this morning
190
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:22,547
because there's something
we need to discuss.
191
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:23,915
Okay.
192
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:26,584
People have started asking
questions about your personal life.
193
00:06:26,619 --> 00:06:29,053
They're speculating
in an effort to relate to you,
194
00:06:29,089 --> 00:06:30,154
identify with you.
195
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:32,190
They're wondering if
you've found someone special.
196
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:34,792
Okay...
197
00:06:34,828 --> 00:06:36,694
I think it's time
we tell the world that you have.
198
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:39,731
The two of you need to come out
as a public couple...
199
00:06:39,766 --> 00:06:41,265
after the debate,
on-stage.
200
00:06:41,301 --> 00:06:43,167
When the families come up
to hug their candidates,
201
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:45,937
David needs to come up
and hug you, Susan.
202
00:06:47,307 --> 00:06:49,273
Elizabeth.
203
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:51,976
That is... That is a lot
to ask of a person.
204
00:06:52,011 --> 00:06:53,344
David,
do you have a problem
205
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:55,146
going up on-stage
after the debate?
206
00:06:58,718 --> 00:07:00,451
David,
you don't need to answer that.
207
00:07:00,487 --> 00:07:02,086
I'll do it.
208
00:07:02,122 --> 00:07:03,087
After the debates,
209
00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:05,656
I'll come up on-stage
with you... For you.
210
00:07:05,692 --> 00:07:08,359
I'll do it, Susan.
I want to do it.
211
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:09,327
I choose to do it.
212
00:07:09,362 --> 00:07:10,428
Okay, then.
213
00:07:10,463 --> 00:07:12,063
I'll let the press know
it's happening.
214
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:22,640
Name of the game
is messaging.
215
00:07:22,675 --> 00:07:26,144
We're not just selling
Frankie Vargas.
216
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:29,414
We're offering a product.
We're offering belief.
217
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:31,983
We're offering
a chance for something better.
218
00:07:32,018 --> 00:07:34,452
Connect with Frankie,
believe in Frankie.
219
00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:37,054
And you get... better.
220
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:38,623
Now, we have the message.
221
00:07:38,658 --> 00:07:42,727
Next question is, how do we
communicate it to the people?
222
00:07:42,762 --> 00:07:43,761
Excuse me.
223
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,930
I like that logo.
It's nice, polished.
224
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:47,965
But, come November,
we're not counting the people
225
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:49,534
who like our artwork
or our slogan.
226
00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:50,935
- We're counting votes.
- Yes. I'll get to that.
227
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,470
And we know
how to turn out votes,
228
00:07:52,505 --> 00:07:53,838
don't we,
my Frankie Friends?
229
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:55,239
All right, to turn out votes,
230
00:07:55,275 --> 00:07:57,475
we've got to take it
to the streets, right?
231
00:07:57,510 --> 00:08:00,411
Win them one by one... just like
we did in Pittsburgh in 2010.
232
00:08:00,447 --> 00:08:01,579
Don't forget Scranton.
233
00:08:01,614 --> 00:08:03,281
How could I,
Emily?
234
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:04,315
How could any of us,
right?
235
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:06,717
It was 10 below,
sleet in our faces,
236
00:08:06,753 --> 00:08:08,786
getting those buses
of elderly and disabled folks
237
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:10,421
- to their polling places.
- Yeah!
238
00:08:10,457 --> 00:08:11,622
See,
we got to take that spirit...
239
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:12,557
...and multiply it.
240
00:08:12,592 --> 00:08:14,058
All right?
Share our commitment.
241
00:08:14,093 --> 00:08:15,893
Share the love we have
for Frankie Vargas
242
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:17,228
with the good people
of Iowa.
243
00:08:18,765 --> 00:08:19,964
And New Hampshire!
244
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:22,333
And every single state!
245
00:08:22,368 --> 00:08:25,269
Until it's 10 below again,
sleet in our faces.
246
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:26,270
But this time?
247
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,239
This time,
we're in Washington, D.C.
248
00:08:29,476 --> 00:08:31,409
On the steps of the Capitol,
249
00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:34,479
watching my brother sworn in
250
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:37,682
as the next President
of the United States.
251
00:08:42,155 --> 00:08:45,453
Hey. Alex Vargas.
And you are?
252
00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:51,719
- He's my brother.
- Yes, I know that.
253
00:08:51,754 --> 00:08:52,771
So, what's the problem?
254
00:08:52,806 --> 00:08:53,627
The problem, Governor,
255
00:08:53,662 --> 00:08:56,461
is that I'm running
your campaign for president,
256
00:08:56,496 --> 00:08:58,636
and if your brother doesn't
respect that, or worse,
257
00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:00,004
thinks he's in charge...
258
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,138
He knows
you're in charge.
259
00:09:01,173 --> 00:09:02,506
Yes, but I'm not sure
he likes it.
260
00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:06,377
He's my brother.
261
00:09:06,412 --> 00:09:07,878
You really have a problem
with my brother?
262
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:09,813
No.
263
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:11,715
Good.
264
00:09:11,751 --> 00:09:13,017
Glad we're
on the same page.
265
00:09:17,089 --> 00:09:18,689
I just don't like her.
266
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:20,557
Smug... that's the word.
267
00:09:20,593 --> 00:09:22,316
Smug and arrogant.
268
00:09:22,351 --> 00:09:23,727
And I hated
the way she said...
269
00:09:23,763 --> 00:09:26,030
Divisive. It's such
an inside-the-Beltway term.
270
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:27,131
You know what I mean?
271
00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:29,166
That hair...
makes me miss my soaps.
272
00:09:29,201 --> 00:09:31,669
I liked her book,
but when she starts talking...
273
00:09:31,704 --> 00:09:34,104
Yeah. She might be okay
if she didn't talk.
274
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:36,840
She seems, I don't know,
like, too smart or something.
275
00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:39,643
"Too smart"?
276
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,711
Well,
don't take it literally.
277
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:42,012
Their feedback
all made the same point.
278
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:43,147
The point being
they're idiots.
279
00:09:43,182 --> 00:09:44,748
We can't base
a national strategy off them.
280
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:46,050
They're not as stupid
as you think.
281
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,818
Maybe they sense
your... disdain.
282
00:09:47,853 --> 00:09:49,320
- Shut up.
- Mellie.
283
00:09:49,355 --> 00:09:50,554
My ideas are good.
284
00:09:50,589 --> 00:09:52,389
I am addressing the issues
they say are important to them.
285
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:55,359
That's true, but you come off
as aloof, out-of-touch.
286
00:09:55,394 --> 00:09:56,727
I'm neither of those things.
287
00:09:56,762 --> 00:09:58,429
How much does a gallon of gas
cost... national average?
288
00:09:58,464 --> 00:09:59,763
$2.02.
289
00:09:59,832 --> 00:10:00,864
That's right.
290
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,266
Of course it's right.
291
00:10:02,301 --> 00:10:04,401
I can give you the average price
in every state if you like...
292
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:05,736
regular or diesel.
293
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:07,771
I can also tell you
that if we keep the gas tax
294
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:09,740
at the absurdly low rate
of 18 cents a gallon,
295
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:11,342
the Highway Trust Fund
will run out of money
296
00:10:11,377 --> 00:10:12,976
- by the middle of next year.
- And right there...
297
00:10:13,012 --> 00:10:14,011
- that's the problem.
- What?
298
00:10:14,046 --> 00:10:15,179
You're a know-it-all,
Mellie.
299
00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:16,113
So?
300
00:10:16,148 --> 00:10:17,481
So,
the people in that room
301
00:10:17,516 --> 00:10:18,982
are the same people who are
gonna be watching the debate,
302
00:10:19,018 --> 00:10:20,217
who are gonna
go to the polls,
303
00:10:20,252 --> 00:10:21,719
who are gonna be electing
our next President.
304
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,053
And they aren't gonna
vote for you
305
00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:24,388
if they get the feeling
that you think you're smarter
306
00:10:24,423 --> 00:10:25,322
than everybody else.
307
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:26,890
I am fighting
their fight, Liv.
308
00:10:26,926 --> 00:10:28,892
I'm just fighting it
as a Rhodes Scholar.
309
00:10:28,928 --> 00:10:31,328
They are benefiting
from how smart I am.
310
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:35,532
And now I'm supposed
to... dumb it down?
311
00:10:46,645 --> 00:10:49,880
Mellie Grant...
woman of the people.
312
00:10:49,915 --> 00:10:51,548
Fine.
313
00:10:57,556 --> 00:10:59,156
I'm letting other people's
security cameras
314
00:10:59,191 --> 00:11:00,691
- do the work for us.
- Any anomalies?
315
00:11:00,726 --> 00:11:02,760
He heads to work at 7:00,
eats most of his lunches there,
316
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:04,528
goes to the White House,
sometimes Langley.
317
00:11:04,563 --> 00:11:06,363
Then, around 7:30 or 8:00,
he's back in his car
318
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:07,831
and either joining your father
for a late dinner
319
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:09,133
or heading home
to blondie.
320
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:11,568
He's using her for something.
I just can't figure out what.
321
00:11:11,604 --> 00:11:13,370
I can keep tracking him
like this, if you want.
322
00:11:13,439 --> 00:11:15,305
It's perfectly untraceable...
that's the good news.
323
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:17,174
- The bad news is...
- It's not enough.
324
00:11:17,209 --> 00:11:18,242
Mnh-mnh.
325
00:11:18,277 --> 00:11:19,209
Plan "B"?
326
00:11:19,245 --> 00:11:20,611
Plan "B."
327
00:11:21,981 --> 00:11:23,747
So, the main point
of the article
328
00:11:23,783 --> 00:11:26,083
is that women need
to stop apologizing for
329
00:11:26,118 --> 00:11:27,985
well, basically,
just giving our opinions.
330
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:29,086
Vanessa Moss?
331
00:11:29,121 --> 00:11:30,487
Yes?
332
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:32,723
Uh, we went to college together
at Smith.
333
00:11:32,758 --> 00:11:33,791
Jacqueline Horton.
334
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:36,226
Nice to meet you,
Jacqueline.
335
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:39,296
Wow, I can't believe
you recognized me.
336
00:11:39,331 --> 00:11:40,397
God, are you kidding?
337
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:42,399
You were the star
of the English department.
338
00:11:42,435 --> 00:11:43,801
Your poetry
was legendary.
339
00:11:43,836 --> 00:11:45,335
That seems like
a lifetime ago.
340
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:47,638
I can't remember the last time
I wrote something.
341
00:11:47,673 --> 00:11:49,139
Well, besides a briefing.
342
00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:51,141
Oh, my God... that ring.
343
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:52,676
Your guy did good.
344
00:11:52,711 --> 00:11:54,445
Yeah.
Jake's pretty amazing.
345
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,846
So, tell me everything.
346
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:58,949
Where and when, deejay or band,
casual or black tie?
347
00:11:58,984 --> 00:12:01,084
Oh. Um, we haven't really nailed
down all the details yet.
348
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,254
Oh, if you want, I have tons of
wedding books I could give you.
349
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:06,690
Oh,
and my photographer was a dream.
350
00:12:06,725 --> 00:12:08,459
He even made my mother-in-law
look like an angel.
351
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:09,326
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
352
00:12:09,361 --> 00:12:10,294
I would love that.
353
00:12:10,329 --> 00:12:11,728
That is so sweet of you,
Jacqueline.
354
00:12:11,764 --> 00:12:12,896
Are you kidding?
It's my pleasure.
355
00:12:12,932 --> 00:12:14,164
So, what does
your schedule look like
356
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,265
for the rest of the week?
357
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,372
Susan.
358
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:23,540
Hey.
359
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:24,575
Just wanted to thank you
360
00:12:24,610 --> 00:12:25,876
for clearing
the President's schedule.
361
00:12:25,911 --> 00:12:27,010
Oh, it was nothing.
362
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:28,312
What you should really
thank me for
363
00:12:28,347 --> 00:12:30,681
is convincing him
not to do Hollis' accent.
364
00:12:30,716 --> 00:12:32,082
I heard him practicing
in the Oval.
365
00:12:32,117 --> 00:12:34,284
It was dreadful.
366
00:12:35,855 --> 00:12:37,054
Is this...
367
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,922
- Does this belong to...
- Oh, it's David Rosen's.
368
00:12:38,958 --> 00:12:41,158
He stops by,
complains about
369
00:12:41,193 --> 00:12:43,627
the difficulties
of juggling his women.
370
00:12:43,662 --> 00:12:44,995
At first I thought he was
trying to make me jealous...
371
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:46,296
I'm sorry.
"Women"?
372
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:49,066
Yeah. He's got a couple of them,
apparently... super annoying.
373
00:12:49,101 --> 00:12:50,133
A couple of women?
374
00:12:50,169 --> 00:12:51,568
I've gotten pretty good
at tuning him out.
375
00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:52,703
Anyway, thanks.
376
00:12:52,738 --> 00:12:55,772
I'm afraid he'll be back
all too soon to get this.
377
00:12:58,277 --> 00:12:59,610
Madam Vice President?
378
00:13:01,013 --> 00:13:03,647
Madam Vi... Susan!
Hey.
379
00:13:03,682 --> 00:13:05,115
I'm sorry.
380
00:13:05,150 --> 00:13:06,617
Uh, what was
the question again?
381
00:13:06,652 --> 00:13:08,519
Committing troops.
382
00:13:08,554 --> 00:13:12,089
Right. Well,
the situation in Kashfar...
383
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:12,890
Bandar.
384
00:13:12,925 --> 00:13:14,358
Bandar, right.
385
00:13:14,393 --> 00:13:16,193
I always get
those two women confused.
386
00:13:16,228 --> 00:13:17,127
"Women"?
387
00:13:17,162 --> 00:13:18,629
What?
388
00:13:18,664 --> 00:13:20,731
You said, "I always get
those two women confused."
389
00:13:20,766 --> 00:13:21,865
Oh.
390
00:13:21,901 --> 00:13:23,901
I meant countries.
391
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:30,173
Debate prep is for ninnies.
392
00:13:31,343 --> 00:13:33,577
Only thing ol' Hollis needs
393
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:37,147
is eight hours of sleep
and a good, hearty breakfast.
394
00:13:40,853 --> 00:13:44,105
Mr. Doyle has decided that
he doesn't want to pay taxes.
395
00:13:44,140 --> 00:13:45,923
That's why he sets up
his companies overseas.
396
00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:47,491
Lose the bitch face.
397
00:13:50,696 --> 00:13:51,795
Mr. Doyle has decided
he doesn't...
398
00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:52,596
Still bitch face.
399
00:13:52,631 --> 00:13:53,630
I'm smiling.
400
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:55,499
Yeah. Like you're better
than everybody else.
401
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:16,486
I don't know
what you want.
402
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,088
I want Filibuster Mellie.
Where's that Mellie?
403
00:14:18,123 --> 00:14:18,989
That's who America loves.
404
00:14:19,024 --> 00:14:20,257
That's who
they want to vote for.
405
00:14:20,292 --> 00:14:22,526
The Mellie who takes off her
shoes and eats a protein bar.
406
00:14:22,561 --> 00:14:23,694
I had been on my feet
all day.
407
00:14:23,729 --> 00:14:25,195
I was tired and hungry,
and I had to pee.
408
00:14:25,230 --> 00:14:26,363
I was practically feral.
409
00:14:26,398 --> 00:14:27,764
You were human.
410
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,266
Also,
you need to watch your arms.
411
00:14:29,301 --> 00:14:30,267
I'm using less arms.
412
00:14:30,302 --> 00:14:31,168
Use a little less
than that.
413
00:14:40,346 --> 00:14:41,178
Come on.
414
00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:42,646
Come on, don't be shy.
415
00:14:42,681 --> 00:14:44,081
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
416
00:14:47,653 --> 00:14:48,752
Mmm.
417
00:14:48,787 --> 00:14:49,953
Smoky.
418
00:14:49,989 --> 00:14:54,858
Senator Grant has missed
127 votes since being in office.
419
00:14:54,893 --> 00:14:56,693
That's 24%.
420
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:57,995
35%.
421
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:59,529
24 is the number
of EPA sanctions
422
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:01,298
leveled against
Doyle Energy last year.
423
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:02,366
Let's start again.
424
00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:04,768
Did you break Susan?
425
00:15:04,803 --> 00:15:07,170
Because your girlfriend
is in a death spiral.
426
00:15:07,206 --> 00:15:09,573
Just fix it, okay?
427
00:15:09,608 --> 00:15:11,041
"Pencils down."
428
00:15:11,076 --> 00:15:13,276
We all remember
those dreaded words from school.
429
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:15,612
When you heard them,
it meant you were out of time.
430
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:17,514
That's a feeling our
Republican presidential hopefuls
431
00:15:17,549 --> 00:15:18,815
can relate to.
432
00:15:18,851 --> 00:15:20,817
With only two days left
before their first debate,
433
00:15:20,853 --> 00:15:22,219
they're cramming like crazy
434
00:15:22,254 --> 00:15:25,656
in preparation for the most
important test of their lives...
435
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:27,958
a test,
my dear Lovers of Liberty,
436
00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:29,526
that you will be grading.
437
00:15:29,561 --> 00:15:30,827
Oh, and it will be tough one.
438
00:15:30,863 --> 00:15:31,828
How do I know?
439
00:15:31,864 --> 00:15:34,245
Because I'm writing it.
440
00:15:40,936 --> 00:15:42,051
Wedding books?
441
00:15:42,086 --> 00:15:43,230
Something
you want to tell me?
442
00:15:43,265 --> 00:15:44,304
They're for Vanessa.
443
00:15:44,372 --> 00:15:45,672
I told her
I got married last month.
444
00:15:45,707 --> 00:15:46,873
We're meeting
for drinks later
445
00:15:46,908 --> 00:15:48,508
so I can share
my extensive bridal knowledge.
446
00:15:48,543 --> 00:15:49,676
Good. The more
you get to know her,
447
00:15:49,711 --> 00:15:50,677
the better our chances are
448
00:15:50,712 --> 00:15:51,778
of finding out
what her value is to Jake.
449
00:15:51,813 --> 00:15:54,280
Olivia Pope.
450
00:15:54,316 --> 00:15:56,249
Can I help you?
451
00:15:56,284 --> 00:15:57,250
Alejandro Vargas.
452
00:15:57,285 --> 00:15:58,218
Hm.
453
00:15:58,253 --> 00:15:59,619
How can I help you,
Mr. Vargas?
454
00:15:59,654 --> 00:16:01,354
Alex. I'm sure
you're pretty busy...
455
00:16:01,389 --> 00:16:02,689
- I am pretty busy.
- No doubt.
456
00:16:02,724 --> 00:16:03,790
I'm helping my brother,
Frankie, with his campaign.
457
00:16:03,825 --> 00:16:04,791
I'm not here
to talk about him.
458
00:16:04,826 --> 00:16:06,626
I'm here to help you
with Senator Grant.
459
00:16:06,661 --> 00:16:08,695
I think I can handle that
on my own.
460
00:16:08,730 --> 00:16:09,662
Thanks, though.
461
00:16:09,698 --> 00:16:11,965
Well, this is dirt
on Susan Ross.
462
00:16:13,235 --> 00:16:14,434
Ah.
463
00:16:14,469 --> 00:16:16,669
That look in your eye
is priceless.
464
00:16:16,705 --> 00:16:18,204
You got to love politics.
465
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,739
Let me guess.
466
00:16:19,775 --> 00:16:22,175
You scratch my back,
I scratch yours?
467
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:25,078
You give me that envelope if I
give you dirt on Edison Davis?
468
00:16:26,414 --> 00:16:27,347
I love your shop.
469
00:16:27,382 --> 00:16:28,648
Did you and Cyrus
cook that up?
470
00:16:28,683 --> 00:16:29,783
I'm not your adversary.
471
00:16:29,818 --> 00:16:31,284
We trade dirt,
I win the Democratic primary,
472
00:16:31,319 --> 00:16:32,152
you win the Republican,
473
00:16:32,187 --> 00:16:33,353
then we become
adversaries.
474
00:16:33,388 --> 00:16:35,755
Hmm. Sorry, Mr. Vargas.
I don't play dirty.
475
00:16:35,791 --> 00:16:37,757
Uh, should you
change your mind...
476
00:16:37,793 --> 00:16:40,560
I just air dropped you
my contact info.
477
00:16:49,371 --> 00:16:51,290
Alex Vargas... 42, single,
478
00:16:51,325 --> 00:16:53,393
has run every one of
his older brother's campaigns
479
00:16:53,428 --> 00:16:54,254
and won them all.
480
00:16:54,289 --> 00:16:55,975
Impressive.
How does he do it?
481
00:16:56,011 --> 00:16:57,076
Well...
482
00:16:58,613 --> 00:17:00,413
By any means necessary.
483
00:17:00,448 --> 00:17:03,616
They just win... dirt,
intimidation, connections.
484
00:17:03,652 --> 00:17:05,585
Alex is wildly loyal
to his brother.
485
00:17:05,654 --> 00:17:07,787
He cold-cocked a councilman
in city hall
486
00:17:07,823 --> 00:17:09,904
when he called Frankie "Amigo"
in an interview.
487
00:17:10,892 --> 00:17:12,525
I've been going over
this Mellie stuff we shot.
488
00:17:12,561 --> 00:17:13,893
I know she's working hard at it,
but...
489
00:17:13,929 --> 00:17:15,028
She's still
no woman of the people?
490
00:17:15,063 --> 00:17:16,162
I think we need to do
another focus group.
491
00:17:16,198 --> 00:17:17,503
We don't have time.
492
00:17:17,538 --> 00:17:19,098
Hollis is stealing
all the news cycles.
493
00:17:19,134 --> 00:17:21,267
We've got to get Mellie out
in public before the debate,
494
00:17:21,303 --> 00:17:22,368
or all Sally's questions
are gonna be
495
00:17:22,404 --> 00:17:24,904
about why she's hiding
from the electorate.
496
00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:25,939
The Gettysburger test?
497
00:17:25,974 --> 00:17:27,874
The Gettysburger test.
498
00:17:29,644 --> 00:17:31,311
- Welcome to Gettysbur...
- Thank you.
499
00:17:31,346 --> 00:17:32,478
Oh, my God.
500
00:17:33,615 --> 00:17:35,148
Hi, there.
501
00:17:35,183 --> 00:17:36,282
Hello. Hi.
502
00:17:36,318 --> 00:17:37,483
- Oh, oh. Hi, sir.
- Oh!
503
00:17:39,487 --> 00:17:41,821
Oh, you can go on up front,
ma'am.
504
00:17:41,857 --> 00:17:42,822
Oh, heavens, no.
505
00:17:42,858 --> 00:17:44,257
I can wait my turn
like everybody else.
506
00:17:46,461 --> 00:17:48,494
A hat? Really?
507
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:50,630
Really. We're beating Hollis
at his own game, Mellie...
508
00:17:50,665 --> 00:17:52,165
offering up
the picture-perfect image
509
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,167
of a down-home, relatable,
approachable candidate
510
00:17:54,202 --> 00:17:55,602
people will want
to vote for.
511
00:17:55,637 --> 00:17:57,270
You go in there,
you stand in line,
512
00:17:57,305 --> 00:17:58,271
and you place your order.
513
00:17:58,306 --> 00:18:00,807
I'm thinking
a Double Lincoln with Cheese.
514
00:18:00,842 --> 00:18:02,041
Double Lincoln with Cheese,
please.
515
00:18:02,077 --> 00:18:03,643
And don't forget about
the Little Round Topper.
516
00:18:03,678 --> 00:18:05,111
Nice.
517
00:18:05,146 --> 00:18:07,013
After that, you find a booth on
the east side of the restaurant
518
00:18:07,048 --> 00:18:08,982
by the windows... that's
the best spot for the cameras.
519
00:18:09,017 --> 00:18:09,916
What if all the booths
are taken?
520
00:18:09,951 --> 00:18:10,783
Even better.
521
00:18:10,819 --> 00:18:12,819
You join
whoever's sitting there.
522
00:18:12,854 --> 00:18:13,920
You keep
the conversation light,
523
00:18:13,955 --> 00:18:15,355
and you enjoy the hell
out of your meal.
524
00:18:15,390 --> 00:18:16,856
Just make sure you finish
the entire thing.
525
00:18:16,892 --> 00:18:18,491
You skipped breakfast,
right?
526
00:18:18,526 --> 00:18:20,994
Senator, when's the last time
you ate at a Gettysburger?
527
00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:23,263
Oh, I must admit,
it's been a little while.
528
00:18:24,699 --> 00:18:26,633
Are you enjoying your Freedom
Fries as much as I am, Billy?
529
00:18:26,668 --> 00:18:28,234
So you've been
to a Gettysburger before, then?
530
00:18:28,270 --> 00:18:30,403
What kind of American would I be
if I hadn't, Jim?
531
00:18:30,438 --> 00:18:31,537
Which location?
532
00:18:31,573 --> 00:18:32,639
What?
533
00:18:32,674 --> 00:18:34,340
Which location
have you been to?
534
00:18:37,379 --> 00:18:38,411
Ooh.
535
00:18:40,248 --> 00:18:41,948
Federal Triangle, usually.
536
00:18:41,983 --> 00:18:44,384
Or 21st and Q.
You know the one?
537
00:18:44,419 --> 00:18:46,052
It's in the shopping mall
there on the third floor.
538
00:18:46,087 --> 00:18:47,553
You have to really look
for that one, though.
539
00:18:47,589 --> 00:18:50,323
It's right next
to the carousel.
540
00:18:50,358 --> 00:18:51,858
Karen and I used to stop in
every Sunday.
541
00:18:51,893 --> 00:18:53,960
It's the one
closest to our church.
542
00:18:53,995 --> 00:18:55,728
Uh, I'm sorry, you said you
used to stop in every Sunday?
543
00:18:55,764 --> 00:18:57,997
Like clockwork...
right after services.
544
00:18:58,033 --> 00:18:59,065
But...
545
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:01,000
Gettysburger's closed
on Sundays.
546
00:19:01,036 --> 00:19:03,436
In honor of the first
major battle of the Civil War...
547
00:19:03,471 --> 00:19:04,938
happened on a Sunday.
548
00:19:04,973 --> 00:19:06,673
I thought everybody
knew that.
549
00:19:11,746 --> 00:19:12,679
It's Burgergate!
550
00:19:12,714 --> 00:19:14,480
Oh, come on.
She was mistaken.
551
00:19:14,516 --> 00:19:15,782
She was lying!
552
00:19:15,817 --> 00:19:17,617
That woman hasn't ever
stepped foot in a Gettysburger,
553
00:19:17,652 --> 00:19:18,651
and she knows it.
554
00:19:18,687 --> 00:19:19,752
Out of all the things
to lie about, Hank,
555
00:19:19,788 --> 00:19:21,054
why would she lie
about eating a burger?
556
00:19:21,089 --> 00:19:22,722
Because she knows she's got
to soften her image, Brooke.
557
00:19:22,757 --> 00:19:24,023
Mellie Grant's an ice queen.
558
00:19:24,059 --> 00:19:25,992
Susan Ross
is going to stomp her.
559
00:19:26,027 --> 00:19:27,460
Susan Ross
is far too classy a lady
560
00:19:27,529 --> 00:19:28,861
to make hay
over this non-scandal.
561
00:19:28,897 --> 00:19:30,363
Hollis Doyle,
on the other hand...
562
00:19:30,398 --> 00:19:31,764
Susan Ross,
Hollis Doyle, what...
563
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,765
I'm ruined.
564
00:19:32,801 --> 00:19:34,434
It's over.
I can't come back from this.
565
00:19:34,469 --> 00:19:35,468
How can I
come back from this?
566
00:19:35,503 --> 00:19:36,402
What are we gonna do?
567
00:19:36,438 --> 00:19:37,971
You shouldn't have lied,
Mellie!
568
00:19:38,006 --> 00:19:39,339
Nobody told you to lie.
569
00:19:39,374 --> 00:19:41,975
I was trying to improvise,
be folksy...
570
00:19:42,010 --> 00:19:42,942
woman of the people!
571
00:19:42,978 --> 00:19:44,310
That's what you wanted me
to do!
572
00:19:46,448 --> 00:19:47,714
So, what now?
573
00:19:47,749 --> 00:19:48,948
I don't know.
574
00:19:48,984 --> 00:19:50,416
I'm thinking.
575
00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:54,020
This entire mess
is your fault.
576
00:19:54,055 --> 00:19:55,822
I did your ridiculous,
little Gettysburger plan,
577
00:19:55,857 --> 00:19:56,789
and it blew up in my face.
578
00:19:56,825 --> 00:19:58,591
Hollis is gonna go to town
on this.
579
00:19:58,626 --> 00:20:00,460
Stop thinking
and start doing!
580
00:20:00,495 --> 00:20:02,395
Fix it, Olivia!
581
00:20:10,672 --> 00:20:12,905
- Big news.
- Cyrus.
582
00:20:12,941 --> 00:20:14,674
I have a source.
Two sources.
583
00:20:14,709 --> 00:20:15,541
What's going on?
584
00:20:15,577 --> 00:20:17,076
Edison Davis...
He's running.
585
00:20:17,112 --> 00:20:18,578
Well, he's going to.
586
00:20:18,613 --> 00:20:21,047
His advance team is
scouting a location
587
00:20:21,082 --> 00:20:23,416
for him to announce...
could be soon as today.
588
00:20:23,451 --> 00:20:25,151
We know.
Alex heard last night.
589
00:20:25,186 --> 00:20:27,120
Oh. Well...
590
00:20:27,155 --> 00:20:30,123
We need to adjust our strategy,
get oppo research on this.
591
00:20:30,158 --> 00:20:30,990
Alex is on it.
592
00:20:31,026 --> 00:20:32,425
Alex is on it?
593
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:35,328
Does Alex specialize
in oppo research, too?
594
00:20:36,364 --> 00:20:38,231
He's got some good ideas.
595
00:20:39,801 --> 00:20:40,833
Huh.
596
00:20:57,452 --> 00:20:58,918
Hey.
You all right?
597
00:20:58,953 --> 00:21:01,854
I heard debate prep
was a bit of a bust today.
598
00:21:04,025 --> 00:21:05,565
Are you cheating on me?
599
00:21:09,664 --> 00:21:12,098
Of course not.
Why are you asking that?
600
00:21:13,334 --> 00:21:14,300
You're sure?
601
00:21:14,335 --> 00:21:16,602
You can tell me the truth.
602
00:21:16,638 --> 00:21:18,438
I can take it.
603
00:21:24,345 --> 00:21:28,741
I'm not cheating on you.
That's the truth.
604
00:21:30,285 --> 00:21:32,185
So why did I hear a rumor
605
00:21:32,220 --> 00:21:33,586
that you've been seeing
two women?
606
00:21:33,621 --> 00:21:36,134
I'm a public figure.
You know how it is.
607
00:21:36,169 --> 00:21:38,825
People say all sorts of things
about you that aren't true.
608
00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:40,726
All those late nights
at the office
609
00:21:40,762 --> 00:21:42,261
and last-minute
work obligations...
610
00:21:42,297 --> 00:21:44,063
Are just that...
late nights at the office
611
00:21:44,099 --> 00:21:46,065
and work obligations.
612
00:21:46,101 --> 00:21:48,067
I don't want to be
with anyone else.
613
00:21:48,103 --> 00:21:50,808
It's you... only you.
614
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,708
Besides, I barely had
enough game to seduce you.
615
00:21:55,743 --> 00:21:57,516
I'm not smooth enough
to have an affair.
616
00:21:57,551 --> 00:21:58,978
Right?
617
00:21:59,013 --> 00:22:01,541
Do you still want me
to come up on-stage?
618
00:22:01,576 --> 00:22:03,549
If there are rumors out there,
I'd understand...
619
00:22:03,585 --> 00:22:05,418
No. Of course
I want you up there.
620
00:22:18,099 --> 00:22:19,298
Thank you.
621
00:22:20,435 --> 00:22:25,037
I must say, your, um...
Your voice-mail surprised me.
622
00:22:25,073 --> 00:22:28,107
There was
a note of helplessness...
623
00:22:28,143 --> 00:22:30,977
a daughter who needs her daddy
to make her boo-boo go away.
624
00:22:31,012 --> 00:22:33,579
You gonna tell me
what's going on?
625
00:22:33,615 --> 00:22:34,780
I got a visit yesterday
626
00:22:34,816 --> 00:22:37,016
- from Frankie Vargas's brother.
- Mm-hmm.
627
00:22:37,051 --> 00:22:38,251
He offered me
dirt on Susan Ross
628
00:22:38,286 --> 00:22:39,519
if I gave him
dirt on Edison.
629
00:22:39,587 --> 00:22:41,847
I didn't think I needed it,
so I sent him packing.
630
00:22:41,882 --> 00:22:42,655
And then?
631
00:22:42,690 --> 00:22:45,391
And then my candidate
announced to the world
632
00:22:45,426 --> 00:22:47,627
in the middle of a Gettysburger
that she was a big phony,
633
00:22:47,662 --> 00:22:50,329
so now, instead of being
neck-and-neck with Susan,
634
00:22:50,365 --> 00:22:52,999
we're polling a distant third
behind her and Hollis.
635
00:22:56,905 --> 00:22:59,672
I should take the dirt,
shouldn't I?
636
00:23:03,478 --> 00:23:05,144
Of course I should.
637
00:23:05,180 --> 00:23:07,813
It's stupid
I'm even asking.
638
00:23:07,849 --> 00:23:09,448
I mean, let's be honest,
639
00:23:09,484 --> 00:23:13,119
I could've invited a friend over
and sought their opinion,
640
00:23:13,154 --> 00:23:14,720
but instead I asked you.
641
00:23:17,659 --> 00:23:21,194
I brought you here because
I've already decided to do it,
642
00:23:21,229 --> 00:23:24,197
and I want you
to give me permission.
643
00:23:24,232 --> 00:23:25,395
So, go ahead.
644
00:23:25,430 --> 00:23:27,366
Give me
your speech about power
645
00:23:27,402 --> 00:23:29,835
and how the only person I need
to be loyal to is myself.
646
00:23:29,871 --> 00:23:32,672
Tell me that friendship
is a hindrance to greatness
647
00:23:32,707 --> 00:23:34,373
and that I should do
whatever has to be done
648
00:23:34,409 --> 00:23:36,576
to get my candidate
elected.
649
00:23:36,611 --> 00:23:39,478
Say those
things, please.
650
00:23:42,050 --> 00:23:43,382
Tell me
what I need to hear
651
00:23:43,451 --> 00:23:45,618
so that I can stop wasting time
and get back to work.
652
00:23:48,022 --> 00:23:49,989
Let me
ask you something.
653
00:23:50,024 --> 00:23:52,358
Back during
the impeachment hearings,
654
00:23:52,427 --> 00:23:54,293
when the public
was asking for your head...
655
00:23:54,329 --> 00:23:58,117
who came to your rescue and sang
your praises on national television?
656
00:23:58,152 --> 00:23:58,965
Edison.
657
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,166
Whose engagement ring
did you return
658
00:24:00,201 --> 00:24:02,668
because he was the head
of the Senate Intel Committee
659
00:24:02,704 --> 00:24:04,237
and your father
felt threatened by him?
660
00:24:04,272 --> 00:24:05,838
This isn't the speech
I was asking for.
661
00:24:05,873 --> 00:24:09,642
This man has been
nothing but nice to you.
662
00:24:09,677 --> 00:24:11,811
I get that, but I...
663
00:24:11,846 --> 00:24:13,779
But what?
664
00:24:13,815 --> 00:24:17,183
You've played dirty before?
Poisoned a few arrows?
665
00:24:17,218 --> 00:24:20,319
Of course you have.
666
00:24:20,355 --> 00:24:22,188
But that was always at the
expense of someone you loathed.
667
00:24:22,223 --> 00:24:24,657
You were Robin Hood,
668
00:24:24,692 --> 00:24:26,381
stealing from the rich
and giving to the poor.
669
00:24:26,416 --> 00:24:27,126
This would be different.
670
00:24:27,161 --> 00:24:29,562
This would be hurting
someone you respect,
671
00:24:29,597 --> 00:24:30,696
someone
who is innocent,
672
00:24:30,732 --> 00:24:34,133
someone who has never
done anything to harm you.
673
00:24:34,168 --> 00:24:38,471
You'd no longer be Robin Hood,
Olivia, you'd be...
674
00:24:38,506 --> 00:24:39,972
You.
675
00:24:45,013 --> 00:24:48,648
The reason
Mellie Grant imploded today
676
00:24:48,683 --> 00:24:52,118
is because you were trying to
make her something she wasn't.
677
00:24:54,022 --> 00:24:56,717
I'd hate to see you make
the same mistake with yourself.
678
00:25:07,678 --> 00:25:09,225
Finally,
after running into him again,
679
00:25:09,260 --> 00:25:10,815
he asked me out,
and here we are.
680
00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:12,189
Wow.
That happened so fast?
681
00:25:12,224 --> 00:25:13,824
Yeah. I don't know
if I believe in fate,
682
00:25:13,859 --> 00:25:15,726
but if it wasn't fate,
it was pretty darn close.
683
00:25:15,761 --> 00:25:17,294
Oh, God.
I envy that.
684
00:25:17,329 --> 00:25:20,530
It's so romantic to just know
after only a few months.
685
00:25:20,566 --> 00:25:21,965
Oh!
686
00:25:22,001 --> 00:25:24,201
I can tell you, he definitely
knows all my secrets.
687
00:25:24,270 --> 00:25:27,150
That's the one drawback
to marrying the head of the NSA.
688
00:25:27,185 --> 00:25:28,572
Those guys
dig pretty deep, huh?
689
00:25:28,607 --> 00:25:29,773
Oh, yeah.
690
00:25:29,808 --> 00:25:31,174
I had to submit
all my tax records,
691
00:25:31,210 --> 00:25:32,676
bank statements...
what else?
692
00:25:32,711 --> 00:25:33,668
Laptops and stuff?
693
00:25:33,703 --> 00:25:34,444
Sure.
694
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,846
They did
a full background check.
695
00:25:36,882 --> 00:25:38,448
Okay, now,
that is not romantic.
696
00:25:38,517 --> 00:25:41,259
No, not at all.
But it's his job.
697
00:25:41,294 --> 00:25:42,911
Neither of us
really had a choice.
698
00:25:42,946 --> 00:25:43,687
Mm-hmm.
699
00:25:43,722 --> 00:25:45,222
He really cares
about America.
700
00:25:45,257 --> 00:25:46,456
Yeah.
701
00:25:47,826 --> 00:25:48,925
Then I guess it's Susan Ross',
702
00:25:48,961 --> 00:25:49,893
'cause Mellie...
703
00:25:49,928 --> 00:25:51,295
What'd you find
on Edison Davis?
704
00:25:51,330 --> 00:25:53,430
Nothing.
He's clean as a whistle.
705
00:25:53,465 --> 00:25:54,831
That's impossible!
706
00:25:54,867 --> 00:25:57,701
The man's from Florida,
for God's sake!
707
00:25:57,736 --> 00:25:59,536
That's 65,000 square miles
of corruption.
708
00:25:59,571 --> 00:26:00,837
- Nobody escapes that.
- He has.
709
00:26:00,873 --> 00:26:03,907
Well, he's not our main concern,
but keep looking.
710
00:26:03,942 --> 00:26:05,075
We have to cover our bases.
711
00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:06,376
Do you need to get home?
712
00:26:06,412 --> 00:26:08,145
No.
713
00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:09,379
Not yet.
714
00:26:09,415 --> 00:26:11,848
Hey,
what about Alex Vargas?
715
00:26:11,884 --> 00:26:13,283
- What have you found on him?
- Still working on it.
716
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:14,184
Put your coat back on.
717
00:26:14,219 --> 00:26:15,385
What?
718
00:26:15,421 --> 00:26:16,987
Put your coat back on,
and don't come back to me
719
00:26:17,056 --> 00:26:19,489
until you have something
on Alex Vargas.
720
00:26:19,525 --> 00:26:22,959
Alex Vargas is a hiccup.
You've dealt with far worse.
721
00:26:22,995 --> 00:26:25,095
He's not just somebody
who wants my job.
722
00:26:25,130 --> 00:26:27,264
He's family... blood.
Blood's different.
723
00:26:27,299 --> 00:26:30,534
Blood gets rewarded for the
simple fact that they're blood.
724
00:26:30,569 --> 00:26:33,003
Trust me.
725
00:26:33,038 --> 00:26:36,840
I'm one brotherly heart-to-heart
away from being demoted
726
00:26:36,875 --> 00:26:39,209
to Frankie Vargas'
body man.
727
00:26:43,582 --> 00:26:44,848
Pants.
728
00:26:44,917 --> 00:26:45,916
What?
729
00:26:45,951 --> 00:26:47,484
Remove your pants,
David.
730
00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,186
I was about
to come see you.
731
00:26:49,221 --> 00:26:51,021
Well, now you're gonna come over
to that couch,
732
00:26:51,056 --> 00:26:52,756
and I'm gonna
sit on top of you.
733
00:26:52,791 --> 00:26:54,324
And I'm gonna
move up and down
734
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,326
until your eyes roll back
in your head.
735
00:26:56,362 --> 00:26:58,395
Is this because Susan's been
doing better in the debate prep
736
00:26:58,430 --> 00:26:59,596
since I talked to her?
737
00:26:59,631 --> 00:27:02,155
Yep. Whatever you said to her
worked like a charm.
738
00:27:02,190 --> 00:27:03,800
She's back on her game
big-time.
739
00:27:03,836 --> 00:27:05,369
This is your reward.
740
00:27:05,404 --> 00:27:07,371
Now, I can either pull
your pants down for you,
741
00:27:07,406 --> 00:27:08,372
or you can do it yourself.
742
00:27:08,407 --> 00:27:09,502
But they need
to come off.
743
00:27:09,537 --> 00:27:10,507
I can't do it.
744
00:27:10,542 --> 00:27:12,509
Well, it's really easy,
but, fine, I'll do it.
745
00:27:12,544 --> 00:27:13,891
I mean I can't do this.
746
00:27:13,926 --> 00:27:15,345
- Do what?
- This thing... us.
747
00:27:15,381 --> 00:27:16,346
I can't do us.
748
00:27:16,382 --> 00:27:18,215
Don't play
hard to get, David.
749
00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:20,050
It might be a turn-on for you,
but it's not for me.
750
00:27:20,085 --> 00:27:21,651
Now, heels or no heels?
751
00:27:21,687 --> 00:27:23,520
I mean it, Liz.
We're done.
752
00:27:23,555 --> 00:27:25,622
You're serious?
753
00:27:25,657 --> 00:27:27,437
You are dumping me?
754
00:27:27,472 --> 00:27:28,291
Yes.
755
00:27:30,095 --> 00:27:31,528
You're sure about that?
756
00:27:31,563 --> 00:27:32,863
Yes?
757
00:27:32,898 --> 00:27:33,730
No.
758
00:27:33,766 --> 00:27:35,660
That's not
how this works.
759
00:27:35,695 --> 00:27:36,233
No.
760
00:27:36,268 --> 00:27:39,801
I'm in love
with Susan Ross.
761
00:27:39,836 --> 00:27:41,225
- She's a muppet!
- Elizabeth...
762
00:27:41,260 --> 00:27:42,372
Not even
one of the main ones.
763
00:27:42,408 --> 00:27:43,774
- Liz...
- She'd be way in the back.
764
00:27:43,809 --> 00:27:45,275
They'd only let her
play tambourine
765
00:27:45,310 --> 00:27:46,176
in their little
muppet band.
766
00:27:46,211 --> 00:27:47,344
Enough!
767
00:27:47,379 --> 00:27:49,246
Do not talk about Susan
like that anymore.
768
00:27:50,449 --> 00:27:51,948
I was nice to you.
I liked you.
769
00:27:51,984 --> 00:27:54,317
I wasn't sleeping with
anyone else this entire time.
770
00:27:54,353 --> 00:27:55,452
Look...
771
00:27:55,487 --> 00:27:56,420
I'm sorry.
772
00:28:01,994 --> 00:28:03,527
Enjoy the minor leagues.
773
00:28:09,067 --> 00:28:10,731
They're using her
for her bank accounts.
774
00:28:10,766 --> 00:28:12,402
Vanessa...
She mentioned something
775
00:28:12,438 --> 00:28:14,471
about Jake asking for all
of her bank-account numbers,
776
00:28:14,506 --> 00:28:15,972
which I thought was weird,
because I was pretty sure
777
00:28:16,008 --> 00:28:17,874
the NSA doesn't require
financial information
778
00:28:17,910 --> 00:28:19,009
in their standard
spouse-registration form.
779
00:28:19,044 --> 00:28:19,910
So I double-checked,
and I was right.
780
00:28:19,945 --> 00:28:21,123
- Quinn, Slow down.
- Really?
781
00:28:21,158 --> 00:28:21,845
- Yeah.
- You sure?
782
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,647
Because you usually
don't want me to...
783
00:28:23,682 --> 00:28:24,848
Okay.
784
00:28:24,883 --> 00:28:28,685
So, uh, someone accessed
all of Vanessa's accounts
785
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,320
and cloned their reverse
promontory points,
786
00:28:30,355 --> 00:28:31,621
which allowed them
to funnel money
787
00:28:31,657 --> 00:28:33,023
through incremental
proxy withdrawals,
788
00:28:33,058 --> 00:28:34,225
- and then...
- Sorry. You were right.
789
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:35,158
Get to the point.
790
00:28:35,194 --> 00:28:37,527
Jake's using Vanessa's money
to fund a super PAC.
791
00:28:37,563 --> 00:28:39,162
A super PAC?
792
00:28:39,198 --> 00:28:40,664
Do you know
which candidate it's for?
793
00:28:48,774 --> 00:28:50,440
Olivia.
794
00:28:50,476 --> 00:28:51,541
Twice in one week.
795
00:28:51,577 --> 00:28:52,909
I should run for President
more often.
796
00:28:52,945 --> 00:28:54,478
I need to talk to you
about my father.
797
00:28:54,513 --> 00:28:56,666
Eli?
Okay, I'm listening.
798
00:28:58,016 --> 00:29:00,250
You only know him
799
00:29:00,285 --> 00:29:03,086
as the man who fell from grace
at the Smithsonian,
800
00:29:03,121 --> 00:29:04,821
but he's actually
much more powerful than that
801
00:29:04,857 --> 00:29:06,656
and much more dangerous.
802
00:29:06,692 --> 00:29:07,791
How so?
803
00:29:07,826 --> 00:29:09,873
I think he's secretly funding
your super PAC,
804
00:29:09,908 --> 00:29:10,994
which means that,
at some point,
805
00:29:11,029 --> 00:29:12,529
he's going to ask you
for a favor.
806
00:29:12,564 --> 00:29:15,465
And, trust me, you do not want
to do any favors for that man.
807
00:29:15,501 --> 00:29:19,936
Or what?
He'll do me terrible harm?
808
00:29:24,643 --> 00:29:27,000
He's already reached out to you,
hasn't he?
809
00:29:29,181 --> 00:29:31,581
When a man of his stature,
his accomplishments,
810
00:29:31,617 --> 00:29:33,984
tells you that he can make you
the next president,
811
00:29:34,019 --> 00:29:35,218
that's hard to turn down.
812
00:29:35,254 --> 00:29:37,487
Do you know
what he's about?
813
00:29:37,523 --> 00:29:38,722
The things he's done?
814
00:29:38,757 --> 00:29:39,923
You forget
that I'm the head
815
00:29:39,958 --> 00:29:41,024
of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, Olivia.
816
00:29:41,059 --> 00:29:44,333
Edison, you don't want him
anywhere near you.
817
00:29:44,368 --> 00:29:46,596
You know many things,
Olivia.
818
00:29:46,632 --> 00:29:48,765
But here's something
that you may not know.
819
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,591
The Senate
is a gilded cage...
820
00:29:50,626 --> 00:29:52,636
a place of great comfort
and wonderful perks,
821
00:29:52,671 --> 00:29:54,137
where you think that
you're making a difference,
822
00:29:54,172 --> 00:29:55,305
but you're not.
823
00:29:55,374 --> 00:29:56,640
It's just you
and 99 others
824
00:29:56,675 --> 00:29:58,375
grimly reminding yourselves
every day
825
00:29:58,410 --> 00:30:02,445
that the only way out of this,
the only way to make your mark,
826
00:30:02,481 --> 00:30:03,647
is to be President.
827
00:30:03,682 --> 00:30:06,917
You're getting into bed
with a monster.
828
00:30:06,952 --> 00:30:10,186
Correction... I'm getting into
bed with a monster's father.
829
00:30:13,158 --> 00:30:17,460
Anyway, thanks so much
for coming by.
830
00:30:24,775 --> 00:30:27,121
Hollis Doyle taking the lead
in the latest polls,
831
00:30:27,156 --> 00:30:29,665
securing the center podium
for tomorrow's debate.
832
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:31,762
I'd say this is quite
a surprising turn of events.
833
00:30:31,797 --> 00:30:33,173
You know, Brooke,
I'm gonna go on the record
834
00:30:33,208 --> 00:30:34,819
and say that
I am not surprised.
835
00:30:34,855 --> 00:30:36,054
Come on.
836
00:30:39,993 --> 00:30:41,259
You're still here?
837
00:30:41,294 --> 00:30:43,695
Oh, Mr. President.
Hello.
838
00:30:43,730 --> 00:30:46,982
You should go home, Susan...
get a good night's rest.
839
00:30:47,017 --> 00:30:49,334
I don't think I'd be able to
sleep tonight if I tried, sir.
840
00:30:50,337 --> 00:30:53,138
You know,
I'm sorry about today.
841
00:30:53,173 --> 00:30:55,040
You don't need to be sorry
about anything.
842
00:30:55,075 --> 00:30:57,475
No, I do.
I was off my game.
843
00:30:57,511 --> 00:30:59,077
I disappointed you.
I could tell.
844
00:30:59,179 --> 00:31:01,513
Because I was dealing with
a silly, little personal issue.
845
00:31:01,548 --> 00:31:03,702
But I'm back now.
I am all good.
846
00:31:03,737 --> 00:31:04,655
Glad to hear it.
847
00:31:04,690 --> 00:31:05,809
So, go ahead.
848
00:31:05,844 --> 00:31:07,685
Ask me something.
Anything.
849
00:31:07,721 --> 00:31:10,121
National security,
minimum wage, gun reform.
850
00:31:10,157 --> 00:31:12,424
You got questions?
I got answers.
851
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,894
All right.
852
00:31:15,929 --> 00:31:16,761
Let's see...
853
00:31:16,797 --> 00:31:19,731
Vice President Ross,
as president,
854
00:31:19,766 --> 00:31:21,232
how would you
work to solve
855
00:31:21,268 --> 00:31:23,168
our nation's
looming federal deficit?
856
00:31:31,411 --> 00:31:32,310
Susan?
857
00:31:32,345 --> 00:31:34,376
Why did you
cheat on your wife?
858
00:31:34,411 --> 00:31:35,647
What?
859
00:31:35,715 --> 00:31:38,316
Do you know
why you cheated?
860
00:31:38,351 --> 00:31:40,319
On someone
you supposedly loved.
861
00:31:41,688 --> 00:31:42,881
Why do you ask?
862
00:31:42,916 --> 00:31:45,092
I'm sorry for asking.
It's just...
863
00:31:45,127 --> 00:31:46,591
Is this a part
of your debate prep?
864
00:31:46,626 --> 00:31:48,827
Actually, yes,
Mr. President.
865
00:31:48,862 --> 00:31:49,861
Why I cheated?
866
00:31:49,896 --> 00:31:51,329
Why does anyone cheat?
867
00:31:51,398 --> 00:31:53,731
Oh.
I'm the expert now?
868
00:31:53,767 --> 00:31:56,434
Well,
you're pretty good at it.
869
00:31:58,238 --> 00:32:00,805
I don't want to be
one of those stupid women
870
00:32:00,841 --> 00:32:02,440
who believes
whatever a guy says
871
00:32:02,509 --> 00:32:04,876
just because her self-esteem
can't handle the truth.
872
00:32:04,911 --> 00:32:08,179
But part of me...
I believe him.
873
00:32:08,215 --> 00:32:10,815
I believe he really loves me,
so...
874
00:32:13,553 --> 00:32:16,688
People cheat
for different reasons.
875
00:32:16,723 --> 00:32:18,894
So I can't tell you
exactly why people cheat.
876
00:32:18,929 --> 00:32:20,161
But I can tell you this...
877
00:32:22,129 --> 00:32:26,131
If you feel like he's cheating,
then he probably is.
878
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:43,047
The figures
speak for themselves.
879
00:32:43,083 --> 00:32:46,117
When unemployment drops,
our deficit drops.
880
00:32:46,152 --> 00:32:47,819
The key to reducing
our national debt isn't
881
00:32:47,854 --> 00:32:51,256
about some shortsighted strategy
cooked up by Senator Grant,
882
00:32:51,291 --> 00:32:54,092
or a useless, little Band-Aid
slapped on by Mr. Doyle.
883
00:32:54,127 --> 00:32:56,861
It's about putting people
to work, plain and simple.
884
00:32:56,897 --> 00:32:59,697
As your President,
that's exactly what I'll do.
885
00:33:03,336 --> 00:33:05,303
Good night,
Mr. President.
886
00:33:05,338 --> 00:33:06,771
I should probably
get some sleep.
887
00:33:14,314 --> 00:33:15,580
I'm trying to tell you
888
00:33:15,649 --> 00:33:18,016
about a potentially fundamental
human-rights case,
889
00:33:18,051 --> 00:33:19,384
- and all you can say is...
- You're so beautiful,
890
00:33:19,419 --> 00:33:20,919
I can hardly hear the words
coming out of your mouth.
891
00:33:24,391 --> 00:33:25,890
- Work?
- Can't say.
892
00:33:34,034 --> 00:33:34,966
Sorry to interrupt.
893
00:33:35,001 --> 00:33:36,267
I doubt that.
894
00:33:37,971 --> 00:33:40,438
What's up, Liv?
What do you want?
895
00:34:00,594 --> 00:34:02,393
Vanessa's right outside.
896
00:34:04,130 --> 00:34:05,763
Does she know how you're using
her brokerage accounts
897
00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:08,266
to launder dirty money
into Edison's super PAC?
898
00:34:11,137 --> 00:34:13,538
I didn't think so.
899
00:34:13,573 --> 00:34:14,706
I don't know
what you think you know...
900
00:34:14,741 --> 00:34:17,542
You know
exactly what I know.
901
00:34:19,045 --> 00:34:22,347
But you love her, right?
That's what you told me.
902
00:34:22,382 --> 00:34:23,982
You want normal.
903
00:34:24,017 --> 00:34:25,717
You're choosing normal.
904
00:34:25,752 --> 00:34:28,453
And me?
I'm just a twisted sociopath
905
00:34:28,488 --> 00:34:30,088
who takes
whatever she wants,
906
00:34:30,123 --> 00:34:32,123
no matter who gets bulldozed
along the way.
907
00:34:34,628 --> 00:34:37,695
That doesn't feel at all
like the truth right now.
908
00:34:37,731 --> 00:34:39,564
Does it?
909
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:43,034
You are the one
I like to ride,
910
00:34:43,069 --> 00:34:47,305
but nobody will ever
ride you like I do.
911
00:34:50,677 --> 00:34:54,504
You tell my father
that whatever game this is...
912
00:34:57,317 --> 00:35:02,687
I... will... win.
913
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:29,975
Mrs. Langston,
we're 15 minutes away...
914
00:35:30,010 --> 00:35:30,809
Go away!
915
00:35:31,964 --> 00:35:34,131
Where are my questions
on national security?
916
00:35:34,166 --> 00:35:35,499
Hello?
917
00:35:35,534 --> 00:35:37,313
Hello?
Hello?
918
00:35:37,348 --> 00:35:38,602
This is live TV.
919
00:35:38,637 --> 00:35:40,337
Get me my questions!
920
00:35:44,944 --> 00:35:45,809
Oh, there you are.
921
00:35:45,845 --> 00:35:47,211
What do you think
of this tie?
922
00:35:47,246 --> 00:35:48,912
I wanted it
to match your outfit.
923
00:35:48,948 --> 00:35:50,381
You're smoking.
You smoke?
924
00:35:50,416 --> 00:35:54,418
I quit... the minute I found out
I was pregnant with Casey.
925
00:35:54,453 --> 00:35:56,598
Obviously,
I didn't want to hurt her.
926
00:35:56,633 --> 00:35:57,955
I also didn't want
to die of lung cancer
927
00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:59,668
before meeting
my grandchildren.
928
00:35:59,703 --> 00:36:00,791
Well,
I tell Casey every day
929
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:03,260
to never, ever even try it...
not once.
930
00:36:03,295 --> 00:36:06,430
That every single cigarette robs
seven minutes from your life.
931
00:36:06,465 --> 00:36:07,531
That all it takes
932
00:36:07,566 --> 00:36:10,200
is one cute boy to offer you
a Virginia Slim
933
00:36:10,236 --> 00:36:13,470
in the bleachers after the
homecoming game and... pouf.
934
00:36:13,506 --> 00:36:15,139
You have emphysema.
935
00:36:15,174 --> 00:36:17,841
That's good advice,
so why aren't you taking it?
936
00:36:19,311 --> 00:36:21,979
Because I'm dumping
my boyfriend.
937
00:36:22,014 --> 00:36:23,847
What?
938
00:36:25,184 --> 00:36:27,084
Come on, David.
939
00:36:27,119 --> 00:36:29,920
Do I have to say it
out loud?
940
00:36:29,955 --> 00:36:31,522
Are you gonna make me
ask you again?
941
00:36:41,333 --> 00:36:43,520
For what it's worth,
it's over.
942
00:36:43,555 --> 00:36:45,002
I didn't want to lie
anymore.
943
00:36:45,037 --> 00:36:46,379
I didn't want to cheat
anymore.
944
00:36:46,414 --> 00:36:49,006
The thought of losing you,
it made me sick to my stomach,
945
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:50,774
so I ended it.
946
00:36:50,810 --> 00:36:52,643
I'm yours, Susan.
947
00:36:52,678 --> 00:36:55,473
I love you.
I love only you.
948
00:37:00,252 --> 00:37:01,385
Liz already
told the press
949
00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:04,221
you'll be joining me on-stage
afterwards.
950
00:37:04,256 --> 00:37:06,657
You still need
to do that.
951
00:37:22,808 --> 00:37:24,508
Where have you been?
952
00:37:24,543 --> 00:37:26,777
It's been 24 hours
of Burgergate, Liv.
953
00:37:26,812 --> 00:37:28,612
Mellie, be still.
Take a breath
954
00:37:28,647 --> 00:37:29,947
How the hell was I supposed
to know that place
955
00:37:29,982 --> 00:37:32,382
is some sort of disgusting,
greasy national treasure?
956
00:37:32,451 --> 00:37:34,685
- What if Sally asks me...
- Mellie.
957
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,287
It's too late to make a plan
or employ some strategy.
958
00:37:37,323 --> 00:37:39,356
So you just go out there
and do your best,
959
00:37:39,391 --> 00:37:40,424
and leave the rest to me.
960
00:37:40,459 --> 00:37:41,425
Okay?
961
00:37:43,229 --> 00:37:45,863
Mellie, trust me.
962
00:37:45,898 --> 00:37:49,333
I've got this.
Everything is going to be fine.
963
00:37:58,711 --> 00:37:59,943
Good evening.
964
00:37:59,979 --> 00:38:03,614
And welcome to the first
Republican presidential debate.
965
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:09,119
Before I invite the candidates
onto the stage,
966
00:38:09,154 --> 00:38:11,221
I'd like to go over
some of the ground rules.
967
00:38:13,893 --> 00:38:14,758
Have you seen David?
968
00:38:14,793 --> 00:38:15,726
He needs to be in makeup
969
00:38:15,761 --> 00:38:16,994
if he's going out on-stage
at the end...
970
00:38:17,029 --> 00:38:18,128
I broke up with David.
971
00:38:18,163 --> 00:38:19,296
You what?
972
00:38:19,331 --> 00:38:22,533
I already told the press
that he would be our on-stage.
973
00:38:22,568 --> 00:38:23,467
He was cheating on me.
974
00:38:23,502 --> 00:38:25,936
So...
975
00:38:25,971 --> 00:38:28,405
With...?
976
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,840
I don't know who!
977
00:38:29,875 --> 00:38:31,642
I... I'm sorry.
978
00:38:31,677 --> 00:38:33,410
Who cares who?
979
00:38:33,445 --> 00:38:36,947
I... I didn't mean to...
It's just a shock, is all.
980
00:38:47,526 --> 00:38:49,092
David Rosen
is such an ass.
981
00:38:51,797 --> 00:38:52,696
Oh.
982
00:38:52,731 --> 00:38:54,831
Sometimes you can seem
really mean,
983
00:38:54,867 --> 00:38:58,072
but you care, don't you?
984
00:38:58,142 --> 00:38:59,145
Oh!
985
00:39:04,739 --> 00:39:07,344
Each candidate will get
one minute to answer questions
986
00:39:07,379 --> 00:39:10,141
and 30 seconds for follow-ups
and rebuttals.
987
00:39:10,176 --> 00:39:11,915
I'll give candidates
time to respond
988
00:39:11,951 --> 00:39:14,251
if they've been singled out
and criticized
989
00:39:14,286 --> 00:39:15,385
by another candidate.
990
00:39:19,792 --> 00:39:21,325
Somebody get me some water.
991
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,859
You'll hear this sound...
992
00:39:24,296 --> 00:39:27,164
...and see this light when
a candidate's time has expired.
993
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:28,532
And if they ignore
those signals,
994
00:39:28,567 --> 00:39:30,400
you'll hear my roar
at full volume.
995
00:39:36,575 --> 00:39:38,408
Thanks for meeting me.
996
00:39:38,444 --> 00:39:39,343
Here.
997
00:39:40,479 --> 00:39:41,511
I hope what you're
giving me on Edison
998
00:39:41,547 --> 00:39:43,046
is as good as what
I'm giving you on Susan.
999
00:39:43,082 --> 00:39:44,114
Go ahead and open it.
1000
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,019
Meridian Terrace?
1001
00:39:49,054 --> 00:39:51,021
The name of a rehab facility
in West Virginia.
1002
00:39:51,056 --> 00:39:53,090
Senator Davis
spent a month there in 2009,
1003
00:39:53,125 --> 00:39:54,992
kicking an addiction
to pain killers.
1004
00:39:55,027 --> 00:39:56,159
How do you know this?
1005
00:39:56,195 --> 00:39:59,979
I sent him there,
and then I made it disappear.
1006
00:40:01,567 --> 00:40:04,001
You're welcome, Alex.
1007
00:40:04,036 --> 00:40:05,902
And now,
without further ado,
1008
00:40:05,938 --> 00:40:08,672
let's welcome our candidates
to the stage.
1009
00:40:13,746 --> 00:40:16,403
Senator Mellie Grant.
1010
00:40:23,555 --> 00:40:25,317
Mr. Hollis Doyle.
1011
00:40:30,029 --> 00:40:32,782
And Vice President
Susan Ross.
1012
00:40:58,490 --> 00:41:01,324
All right, candidates.
Let's begin.
1013
00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:07,923
