1
00:00:01,117 --> 00:00:03,017
What do you imagine
that there is left to say?
2
00:00:03,119 --> 00:00:04,086
- Everything.
- Or nothing.
3
00:00:04,186 --> 00:00:05,448
Previously on Scandal...
4
00:00:05,554 --> 00:00:07,385
Something happened
between you and Olivia,
5
00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:09,424
and something happened
between you and Amanda Tanner.
6
00:00:09,525 --> 00:00:11,016
I need to know
how much trouble we're in.
7
00:00:11,194 --> 00:00:13,355
Her name's Amanda, right?
She tried to kill herself?
8
00:00:13,463 --> 00:00:15,761
Gideon, which news outlet
do you work for?
9
00:00:15,866 --> 00:00:18,027
It's two sentences
about a disturbed girl!
10
00:00:18,135 --> 00:00:20,569
Watergate was two sentences
about a burglary!
11
00:00:20,671 --> 00:00:22,605
You know I was telling the truth
about the President.
12
00:00:22,806 --> 00:00:24,933
I can help you, if you let me.
13
00:00:25,075 --> 00:00:26,042
Hello?
14
00:00:26,143 --> 00:00:27,872
- Quinn, who's this?
- The reporter from the hospital.
15
00:00:27,978 --> 00:00:29,640
You don't have a story. So go home.
16
00:00:29,747 --> 00:00:32,910
She tried to kill herself the day
after she quit working for the President,
17
00:00:33,017 --> 00:00:33,984
and you're Olivia Pope.
18
00:00:34,085 --> 00:00:35,916
So, no, I didn't have a story.
But now...
19
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:36,987
Now I do.
20
00:00:43,728 --> 00:00:46,698
Don't know how you take it,
cream or sugar, so I brought both.
21
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:48,892
I don't take it. Do they always do this?
22
00:00:50,336 --> 00:00:53,169
- Yeah. They do that.
Good.
23
00:00:53,272 --> 00:00:54,864
God, I was starting to think
it was me or something.
24
00:00:54,973 --> 00:00:57,373
It is you.
They're talking about you, Amanda.
25
00:00:59,078 --> 00:01:00,875
Everyone's gonna be talking about you.
26
00:01:01,146 --> 00:01:02,340
No. No way.
Are you kidding?
27
00:01:02,481 --> 00:01:03,448
What if she's lying?
28
00:01:03,549 --> 00:01:05,040
- What if she's not? I vote yes.
- We're not voting.
29
00:01:05,151 --> 00:01:06,675
It's Monica all over again,
without the blue dress.
30
00:01:06,786 --> 00:01:08,048
- Without any kind of proof.
Who needs proof?
31
00:01:08,154 --> 00:01:09,212
The girl said
she slept with the President!
32
00:01:09,322 --> 00:01:10,482
Liv worked at the White House.
33
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:12,114
That alone
makes it a giant conflict of interest.
34
00:01:12,225 --> 00:01:13,385
Oh, please, call me when
you grow a pair.
35
00:01:13,493 --> 00:01:15,427
- We're not voting!
She seems scared.
36
00:01:15,829 --> 00:01:17,490
I'd vote yes, if we were voting.
37
00:01:17,597 --> 00:01:18,564
It's Sandra Harding.
38
00:01:18,798 --> 00:01:21,596
Her son didn't make it to court, day one.
Can you believe it?
39
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:24,532
- Who are we voting on?
- We're not voting.
40
00:01:24,638 --> 00:01:26,105
She's ours, we're keeping her. It's done.
41
00:01:26,574 --> 00:01:28,041
Sandra, we'll find him.
44
00:01:31,812 --> 00:01:33,905
Huck, find Gideon Wallace
at The D, C, Sun,
45
00:01:34,014 --> 00:01:35,106
I wanna talk to him today.
46
00:01:35,216 --> 00:01:37,684
Abby, take Amanda home,
pack up her things, make sure...
47
00:01:37,785 --> 00:01:40,914
No one is following her and
set her up at your apartment. Got it.
48
00:01:46,361 --> 00:01:49,159
I'm losing my patience, Mr. Cole.
49
00:01:49,264 --> 00:01:51,129
I'm told he'll be here very soon,
Your Honor.
50
00:01:51,233 --> 00:01:54,100
A presidential motorcade
is blocking Massachusetts Avenue.
51
00:01:54,202 --> 00:01:55,533
Yet here we are.
52
00:01:55,637 --> 00:01:59,039
Perhaps the defendant should take
one of his helicopters, Your Honor.
53
00:02:03,780 --> 00:02:04,838
Running out of time, Liv.
54
00:02:05,715 --> 00:02:07,683
Well, keep stalling.
55
00:02:11,487 --> 00:02:13,717
Room service.
We've got your breakfast.
56
00:02:13,823 --> 00:02:15,518
I don't think we ordered any.
57
00:02:16,859 --> 00:02:17,849
I love my job.
58
00:02:17,961 --> 00:02:19,792
You might want to
put on some clothes for this.
59
00:02:19,897 --> 00:02:21,159
Excuse me.
60
00:02:23,634 --> 00:02:25,431
Up and at 'em, Trav!
61
00:02:26,603 --> 00:02:30,061
Whoa!
Livvie! How the hell are you?
62
00:02:30,174 --> 00:02:31,937
I'm fine. You're late.
63
00:02:32,042 --> 00:02:35,342
Hey, do you know who this is?
This is the Olivia Pope!
64
00:02:35,447 --> 00:02:37,574
She's amazing, she works for the...
65
00:02:38,383 --> 00:02:41,409
Who do you work for now?
White House? CIA? FBI?
66
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:42,577
Today, your mother.
67
00:02:43,154 --> 00:02:44,178
Oh, crap!
68
00:02:44,289 --> 00:02:45,415
She's not too thrilled
69
00:02:45,523 --> 00:02:48,458
about the fact that you're late for court,
your first day of trial.
70
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,557
Is this what you're looking for?
71
00:02:50,662 --> 00:02:52,755
Just give me, like, two minutes,
all right? Where are my pants?
72
00:02:52,864 --> 00:02:54,799
Why don't we rinse the booze off first?
73
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:55,867
Judge will appreciate that?
74
00:02:56,802 --> 00:02:58,827
I know I've been
hitting it pretty hard lately, going out.
75
00:02:58,938 --> 00:03:00,371
I've just been so stressed out.
76
00:03:00,473 --> 00:03:02,236
A rape charge does it to the best of us.
77
00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:05,868
I didn't do it. I...
78
00:03:05,978 --> 00:03:07,309
No, I know. I believe you.
79
00:03:07,413 --> 00:03:09,438
Now let's go work on
that judge and jury.
80
00:03:14,488 --> 00:03:15,455
You.
81
00:03:19,459 --> 00:03:20,756
May I ask a favor?
82
00:03:22,462 --> 00:03:23,827
Court's adjourned!
83
00:03:23,930 --> 00:03:28,663
Back here at 2:00 with your defendant,
or I'll lock him up for the rest of the trial.
84
00:03:28,768 --> 00:03:29,997
Thank you, Your Honor.
85
00:03:34,041 --> 00:03:35,770
How you holding up, Sandra?
86
00:03:36,544 --> 00:03:39,707
I can't lose him, Stephen.
I won't lose him.
87
00:03:39,814 --> 00:03:42,339
I know. I know.
88
00:03:47,188 --> 00:03:48,383
Get my good side, gentlemen.
89
00:03:57,366 --> 00:03:59,493
Is there anything
you didn't take care of, Liv?
90
00:03:59,601 --> 00:04:02,035
Your hotel bill. It's a doozy.
91
00:04:09,535 --> 00:04:12,912
sync and corrections by majtjkong
92
00:04:16,286 --> 00:04:17,844
He really did forget
what time the trial starts.
93
00:04:18,121 --> 00:04:20,385
- Sandra.
- You're right. He screwed up.
94
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:22,720
He's lucky the judge
didn't throw him back in jail.
95
00:04:22,825 --> 00:04:25,056
This isn't a parking ticket.
He's on trial for rape.
96
00:04:25,162 --> 00:04:27,960
- He didn't do it. He didn't rape that girl.
- I believe you.
97
00:04:28,065 --> 00:04:31,159
But if I'm the jury, I'm already
resenting him for wasting my time.
98
00:04:31,268 --> 00:04:33,168
Which is why
I would like you on this thing.
99
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:35,966
You can guide our defense team.
Keep Travis in line.
100
00:04:36,073 --> 00:04:38,507
- Uh-uh. No way. Today was just a favor.
- Liv.
101
00:04:39,143 --> 00:04:42,341
Sandra, I love you. I love your son,
102
00:04:42,447 --> 00:04:44,574
but I'm on retainer for your company,
not your family.
103
00:04:44,683 --> 00:04:47,982
I help with mergers and PR.
I don't babysit 27-year-olds.
104
00:04:48,086 --> 00:04:51,817
I know that Travis is irresponsible.
I know that.
105
00:04:51,923 --> 00:04:56,155
I tried to tell him that he has to step up,
fix his own mistakes.
106
00:04:56,261 --> 00:04:58,058
Part of it is on me.
107
00:04:58,163 --> 00:05:00,189
After Hal died,
he went through a very rough time,
108
00:05:00,299 --> 00:05:04,292
and I didn't always have the time
to help him sort through all of that stuff.
109
00:05:04,403 --> 00:05:06,997
And these girls see
the son of a rich CEO
110
00:05:07,106 --> 00:05:09,131
and they get dollar signs in their eyes.
111
00:05:09,275 --> 00:05:12,642
That girl is not the victim here.
Travis is.
112
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:15,339
Please.
You've handled difficult clients before.
113
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:17,245
Not ones who didn't show up in court.
114
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:20,343
And I already got Travis one of the best
defense lawyers in Washington.
115
00:05:20,454 --> 00:05:22,183
- He doesn't need me.
- I need you.
116
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:26,520
I spend all day listening to people who
tell me what they think I wanna hear.
117
00:05:26,627 --> 00:05:29,562
You are the only one
who will give it to me straight.
118
00:05:30,197 --> 00:05:32,324
He could be in a lot of trouble here, Liv.
119
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:35,564
I need someone on our side
who I can trust.
120
00:05:37,305 --> 00:05:39,899
People don't say no to you very often,
do they?
121
00:05:40,808 --> 00:05:43,470
Probably about as often
as they say no to you.
122
00:05:52,153 --> 00:05:55,214
- What's happening?
- Morning, honey.
123
00:05:55,858 --> 00:05:57,689
What's happening?
124
00:05:57,793 --> 00:06:00,353
I called Mrs. Hanley
and I canceled your morning schedule.
125
00:06:01,296 --> 00:06:02,490
For the love of God!
126
00:06:02,598 --> 00:06:04,998
You haven't been sleeping.
You paced until 4:00 a. m.
127
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:06,067
I wanted you to get some sleep.
128
00:06:06,168 --> 00:06:08,363
I had a video conference
on "Hunger in the Developing World. "
129
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:11,667
Mandela got out of bed.
Mandela was waiting for me.
130
00:06:11,774 --> 00:06:13,436
People die
if they don't get enough sleep.
131
00:06:13,543 --> 00:06:14,976
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
and I had a meeting.
132
00:06:15,111 --> 00:06:16,976
I was sitting
with the economic advisors.
133
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,411
You needed one chance to sleep in.
134
00:06:18,581 --> 00:06:21,550
I'm the leader of the free world!
I do not sleep in!
135
00:06:23,053 --> 00:06:24,611
Why aren't you sleeping?
136
00:06:27,323 --> 00:06:28,347
Mel.
137
00:06:34,965 --> 00:06:38,492
I just want you to have what you need.
You know that.
138
00:06:45,976 --> 00:06:49,037
I'm doing a tour of
D.C. Homeless shelters this afternoon.
139
00:06:49,147 --> 00:06:52,344
I have to give a speech. Wish me luck.
140
00:06:58,123 --> 00:06:59,385
Hey!
141
00:07:00,225 --> 00:07:03,126
What are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here.
142
00:07:03,228 --> 00:07:05,253
You have to stop showing up here.
143
00:07:05,363 --> 00:07:08,458
- Are you always this high-strung?
- No, I'm just new.
144
00:07:08,601 --> 00:07:11,092
It's kind of charming. Relax.
I have a meeting with your boss.
145
00:07:11,204 --> 00:07:12,466
Um, Olivia...
146
00:07:12,572 --> 00:07:13,664
Hey, where are you going?
We have a meeting.
147
00:07:13,773 --> 00:07:14,865
No, we don't.
148
00:07:14,974 --> 00:07:17,636
You called me. Your guy said that
you wanted to talk to me about...
149
00:07:17,744 --> 00:07:19,234
- Why would I want to do that?
- I don't know.
150
00:07:19,345 --> 00:07:21,813
I imagine so you can try
to kill my story about Amanda Tanner.
151
00:07:21,914 --> 00:07:24,542
Which there is no way in hell
I'm gonna let you do.
152
00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:27,449
I don't have to kill your story, Gideon.
You're going to kill it yourself.
153
00:07:27,821 --> 00:07:31,450
As soon as you publish even anything
remotely interesting about my client,
154
00:07:31,558 --> 00:07:33,389
all of the real reporters at your paper
155
00:07:33,494 --> 00:07:35,985
are going to snatch it
right out of your cub reporter hands.
156
00:07:36,463 --> 00:07:39,398
By the way, great piece yesterday
157
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:44,131
about how the cherry blossoms
are so late to bloom this year.
158
00:07:44,239 --> 00:07:46,230
I do hope they come soon.
159
00:07:47,208 --> 00:07:48,766
This is how this works.
160
00:07:48,877 --> 00:07:50,401
You're going to leave Amanda alone
161
00:07:50,512 --> 00:07:53,504
and keep her name out of your paper
for the next 72 hours.
162
00:07:53,615 --> 00:07:56,914
You do that, and I will give you
some background on her.
163
00:07:57,318 --> 00:07:59,218
And if you're lucky, a quote.
164
00:08:00,555 --> 00:08:02,581
Sounds fair. Okay, good meeting.
165
00:08:02,691 --> 00:08:04,022
There was no meeting.
166
00:08:07,897 --> 00:08:09,421
You bring a lot of clients to your home?
167
00:08:09,532 --> 00:08:12,558
Just the ones that need to be
kept out of the public eye.
168
00:08:13,402 --> 00:08:17,304
So what happens next?
169
00:08:17,406 --> 00:08:20,706
- Next, we talk about things.
- Okay.
170
00:08:20,844 --> 00:08:23,779
Not bad things.
Just things that will help me.
171
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,144
For instance,
I need to know if you have any proof
172
00:08:26,349 --> 00:08:28,078
of what went on
with you and the President.
173
00:08:28,451 --> 00:08:29,475
Why do you need that?
174
00:08:29,586 --> 00:08:31,679
Because if it ever came down
to his word against yours,
175
00:08:31,788 --> 00:08:33,688
we'll need proof of what happened.
176
00:08:33,790 --> 00:08:36,020
Because even though I believe you,
others won't.
177
00:08:38,763 --> 00:08:42,199
I have something, yeah.
I'm not ready to tell you what it is.
178
00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:43,267
Amanda.
179
00:08:43,367 --> 00:08:45,892
My terms.
You said we could do this on my terms.
180
00:08:46,003 --> 00:08:49,234
- I'm not telling you until I'm ready.
- Okay.
181
00:08:50,942 --> 00:08:55,607
Hopefully it won't come to that.
Hopefully we'll figure this out.
182
00:08:55,714 --> 00:08:58,581
Which brings me
to the second thing I need.
183
00:08:58,684 --> 00:08:59,651
What's the end game?
184
00:09:00,185 --> 00:09:02,346
- The end game?
- A question I ask every client.
185
00:09:02,454 --> 00:09:04,445
What they want.
What's your best outcome?
186
00:09:04,556 --> 00:09:05,921
Do you want money?
Do you want to stay in Washington?
187
00:09:06,024 --> 00:09:07,992
Do you want your job back?
You have options.
188
00:09:10,662 --> 00:09:11,788
I want to see the President.
189
00:09:11,897 --> 00:09:14,162
- Excuse me?
- I want to see the President.
190
00:09:14,267 --> 00:09:19,330
I want one meeting with him,
alone, face-to-face.
191
00:09:23,643 --> 00:09:27,477
No. No, it was a caucus.
We were in Des Moines debating.
192
00:09:27,580 --> 00:09:30,640
And the moderator raises the question.
And Fitz just...
193
00:09:31,819 --> 00:09:32,786
Olivia.
194
00:09:32,953 --> 00:09:36,650
Oh, please.
Billy, can you give us a minute?
195
00:09:37,658 --> 00:09:38,625
Um...
196
00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:41,023
I'm eating shrimp scampi, so, no.
197
00:09:41,128 --> 00:09:42,095
Billy.
198
00:09:42,196 --> 00:09:45,097
Liv, I'm eating, and he's paying.
Do you know how rare that is?
199
00:09:45,199 --> 00:09:46,359
Look, you used to be the work wife,
200
00:09:46,467 --> 00:09:48,230
but word on the street
is your spot's open.
201
00:09:48,335 --> 00:09:50,668
- You really think I'm leaving this table?
- Billy, leave the table.
202
00:09:50,772 --> 00:09:51,864
Billy, leave the table.
203
00:09:58,847 --> 00:10:00,872
"Work wife. " I suppose that's true.
204
00:10:01,416 --> 00:10:03,213
Is true. Was true.
205
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:05,250
He's not sleeping.
206
00:10:05,420 --> 00:10:06,853
Not my problem.
207
00:10:06,955 --> 00:10:09,720
So what does my ex-work wife want?
208
00:10:10,459 --> 00:10:13,587
Amanda Tanner wants a sit-down.
Fifteen minutes with him.
209
00:10:15,064 --> 00:10:18,056
- You and I both know...
- And then she goes away. For good.
210
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,724
This is legit, Cyrus.
211
00:10:20,403 --> 00:10:24,362
- And then this goes away?
- Then you'll buy scampi only for me.
212
00:10:24,473 --> 00:10:27,875
- We made a President together.
- We did.
213
00:10:28,612 --> 00:10:29,977
I miss you.
214
00:10:30,380 --> 00:10:32,143
Yeah. Me, too.
215
00:10:34,618 --> 00:10:35,585
He's not sleeping.
216
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,410
Cyrus, neither am I.
217
00:10:47,398 --> 00:10:49,093
The woman's name is Helen Fisher,
218
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,760
She went home with Travis willingly,
219
00:10:51,936 --> 00:10:55,030
claims that things got out of hand,
he wouldn't take no for an answer.
220
00:10:55,139 --> 00:10:56,572
How are you explaining the bruises?
221
00:10:56,674 --> 00:11:00,303
Self-inflicted. After the fact.
Travis is innocent.
222
00:11:00,411 --> 00:11:01,400
Aren't they all?
223
00:11:01,947 --> 00:11:04,006
Hell, no. But Travis is.
224
00:11:04,783 --> 00:11:08,810
I have tried millions of these cases.
It's a classic "he said, she said. "
225
00:11:09,288 --> 00:11:12,746
- It'll all come down to...
- Perception. These cases always do.
226
00:11:12,858 --> 00:11:14,189
And you're, how do I say this,
227
00:11:14,293 --> 00:11:17,353
you're being perceived by the public,
and more importantly, by the jury,
228
00:11:17,463 --> 00:11:19,988
as an entitled rich-boy who thinks
he can get away with anything.
229
00:11:20,233 --> 00:11:22,565
To change that, you play by my rules.
230
00:11:22,669 --> 00:11:25,433
Harrison's your babysitter.
You do not drink. You don't go out.
231
00:11:25,538 --> 00:11:28,507
No more blondes,
as charming as she was.
232
00:11:28,975 --> 00:11:30,340
Whatever you say, Liv.
233
00:11:41,622 --> 00:11:43,817
You're obsessed.
Do I need a restraining order?
234
00:11:43,924 --> 00:11:46,518
Restraining order?
For a friend who brings you free coffee?
235
00:11:46,627 --> 00:11:48,595
We're not friends.
And that coffee is not free.
236
00:11:48,696 --> 00:11:49,754
What do you want?
237
00:11:49,864 --> 00:11:52,196
Jane Powell. She's prosecuting
the Harding rape case. You got any...
238
00:11:52,299 --> 00:11:55,268
Dirt? Dirt on Jane Powell?
My friend and colleague?
239
00:11:55,369 --> 00:11:56,803
So you can threaten or intimidate her?
240
00:11:56,905 --> 00:11:59,430
Oh, please. You hate Jane Powell.
Jane Powell is gunning for your job.
241
00:11:59,541 --> 00:12:02,908
- You're so touchy pre-coffee.
- Beat it, stalker.
242
00:12:03,011 --> 00:12:06,139
- That's no way to treat a friend.
- We're not friends!
243
00:12:07,082 --> 00:12:09,676
No luck with the U.S. Attorney,
I got nothing on the prosecution.
244
00:12:09,785 --> 00:12:10,911
Where's the jury?
245
00:12:11,019 --> 00:12:12,987
Uh, these 10 are voting guilty.
246
00:12:13,088 --> 00:12:14,886
But the trial's not even over.
How can you say that for sure?
247
00:12:14,991 --> 00:12:18,358
Demographics. Body language.
Sociological and psychological factors.
248
00:12:18,461 --> 00:12:21,658
I've ruled out all but two
as potential non-guilty votes.
249
00:12:21,764 --> 00:12:22,924
Juror four,
250
00:12:23,032 --> 00:12:25,830
freelance graphic designer, bartender,
Voted for Nader,
251
00:12:26,335 --> 00:12:28,394
He's independent. Contrarian. Good.
252
00:12:28,504 --> 00:12:29,903
And juror six.
253
00:12:30,306 --> 00:12:31,933
NRA member, retired Marine,
254
00:12:32,041 --> 00:12:33,976
winces every time
the prosecution speaks,
255
00:12:34,244 --> 00:12:36,576
So he's an alpha-male with a grudge
against the female prosecutor?
256
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,671
Great. Love it. Huck, what'd you get?
257
00:12:39,683 --> 00:12:41,310
I can't discuss it! That's final.
258
00:12:41,452 --> 00:12:44,353
When the guy's in jail,
you can ask me anything you want.
259
00:12:48,525 --> 00:12:50,994
No, man. He is a total date-raper.
260
00:12:54,032 --> 00:12:55,329
Jury's set to hang him high.
261
00:12:56,701 --> 00:13:00,694
Day three of trial
and we've lost them already.
262
00:13:02,674 --> 00:13:03,663
Abby, what do we have on Helen?
263
00:13:03,942 --> 00:13:05,000
I went to her work,
264
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:08,045
Thursdays at Tony's.
Two-for-one hi-balls.
265
00:13:08,146 --> 00:13:10,547
Helen and I had
a long standing weekly drinks date.
266
00:13:10,649 --> 00:13:14,449
I know the drill. I used to be so
hung over on Fridays during law school.
267
00:13:15,121 --> 00:13:16,281
It wasn't like that.
268
00:13:16,388 --> 00:13:18,413
Helen would have one,
maybe two drinks.
269
00:13:18,524 --> 00:13:21,015
She never wanted to be hung over
around the kids.
270
00:13:21,193 --> 00:13:25,323
Plus, working here, for a non-profit?
It's all she could afford. Excuse me.
271
00:13:26,532 --> 00:13:29,297
The bad? Helen's a saint.
272
00:13:29,603 --> 00:13:30,570
Special Ed advocate.
273
00:13:30,670 --> 00:13:33,730
Head of the American University
alumni club for D.C. A saint.
274
00:13:34,141 --> 00:13:36,507
Which I might add, you have to be
to win a "he said, she said" case
275
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:39,443
without coming out looking like
a regretful slut who was asking for it.
276
00:13:39,579 --> 00:13:41,046
You're killing me. What's the good?
277
00:13:41,148 --> 00:13:43,912
The good is she's broke.
I checked her credit reports.
278
00:13:44,484 --> 00:13:47,682
She owes over 250 grand
between student loans and credit cards,
279
00:13:47,788 --> 00:13:50,018
and financially, the girl's drowning.
280
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:54,250
You want me to settle?
Olivia, that's out of the question.
281
00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:56,028
Helen is an airtight witness.
282
00:13:56,130 --> 00:13:58,826
We need to stop her from cooperating
with the prosecution any further.
283
00:13:58,933 --> 00:14:00,662
And we've already lost the jury.
284
00:14:00,768 --> 00:14:02,999
He is innocent.
The evidence is paper-thin.
285
00:14:03,105 --> 00:14:06,802
Photographs of bruises on a pretty girl
prove to be very effective.
286
00:14:07,109 --> 00:14:11,045
In a case like this, perception is
more important than evidence.
287
00:14:11,146 --> 00:14:14,707
The truth doesn't matter.
He looks guilty, he is guilty.
288
00:14:14,816 --> 00:14:17,785
- We'll win on appeal.
- That will take two years, minimum.
289
00:14:17,886 --> 00:14:20,184
In the meantime,
Travis will be in prison.
290
00:14:20,989 --> 00:14:22,355
We've got an opportunity here.
291
00:14:22,458 --> 00:14:25,621
The girl needs money.
You have a lot of money.
292
00:14:25,728 --> 00:14:28,788
You only have one son. Settle.
293
00:14:33,269 --> 00:14:34,861
Do whatever you have to do.
294
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:41,238
That's eight million
in three installments.
295
00:14:41,345 --> 00:14:42,607
In a way which makes it clear,
296
00:14:42,713 --> 00:14:46,114
the attorney representing Mr. Harding
was totally unaware.
297
00:14:46,217 --> 00:14:48,845
The gag order and
confidentiality clause are standard.
298
00:14:48,953 --> 00:14:50,511
As Charles here
has hopefully explained,
299
00:14:50,621 --> 00:14:53,112
it means
you stop cooperating as a witness.
300
00:14:53,490 --> 00:14:56,891
I'm not here. I was in the building,
on another case. I just...
301
00:14:56,994 --> 00:15:00,158
Which will force the prosecution
to drop the case.
302
00:15:00,298 --> 00:15:02,232
They've offered to throw in
an extra 500,000
303
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:04,768
to the special education charity
of your choice,
304
00:15:04,869 --> 00:15:06,962
if we leave here with an agreement.
305
00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:09,233
- Ten.
- Ten? That is preposterous!
306
00:15:09,341 --> 00:15:11,866
You must... I'm sorry. Ignore me.
I'm not here.
307
00:15:12,277 --> 00:15:14,245
Ten. Up front. One payment.
308
00:15:14,412 --> 00:15:16,176
I can sell nine. No more.
309
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,775
- Done.
- No.
310
00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:21,978
Helen, we're not going to get
a better offer...
311
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:23,453
I said no.
312
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:25,922
You're angry, Helen. I understand that.
313
00:15:26,025 --> 00:15:28,789
But the quickest way to put this
behind you is to settle this now,
314
00:15:29,095 --> 00:15:31,222
or you're looking at years of appeals.
315
00:15:31,497 --> 00:15:32,589
Years of unfinished anger...
316
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:34,997
- How much would you take, Ms. Pope?
- I'm sorry?
317
00:15:35,102 --> 00:15:37,935
If you were me, how much
would it take you to be able to forget?
318
00:15:39,072 --> 00:15:42,235
To forget you'd been strangled,
had your clothes ripped off?
319
00:15:42,342 --> 00:15:45,004
Had some guy pin you down while
he forced his fist inside your mouth,
320
00:15:45,112 --> 00:15:47,842
so hard you could taste
your own blood?
321
00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:50,109
How much would it take you
to be able to forget all that?
322
00:15:51,285 --> 00:15:53,516
To be able to even think of
having sex with somebody again.
323
00:15:54,922 --> 00:15:57,083
To wake up every morning
and not want to kill yourself
324
00:15:57,191 --> 00:15:59,659
when you realize it wasn't just a dream,
it actually...
325
00:16:01,296 --> 00:16:06,256
How much would it take you
to forget all that? Ten million? Twenty?
326
00:16:07,702 --> 00:16:08,930
How much would you be worth?
327
00:16:10,406 --> 00:16:11,373
Hmm?
328
00:16:13,342 --> 00:16:14,673
How much?
329
00:16:23,319 --> 00:16:24,843
Let's go.
330
00:16:39,035 --> 00:16:40,002
Thank you for your service.
331
00:16:40,103 --> 00:16:41,627
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you.
332
00:16:42,706 --> 00:16:43,764
Thank you for your service.
333
00:16:44,407 --> 00:16:45,806
It's an honor, Mr. President.
334
00:16:46,777 --> 00:16:49,245
Gentlemen, thank you all.
335
00:16:50,047 --> 00:16:51,014
Thank you, sir.
336
00:16:51,415 --> 00:16:53,679
Sarge, thank you.
337
00:16:56,554 --> 00:16:57,612
Did you see that?
338
00:16:57,755 --> 00:16:58,722
Hmm?
339
00:16:59,156 --> 00:17:00,987
They had prosthetic hands.
340
00:17:01,092 --> 00:17:02,787
That man saluted me with his left hand
341
00:17:02,893 --> 00:17:05,089
because his right hand
was blown off by an IED,
342
00:17:05,197 --> 00:17:07,097
while he was busy keeping us safe.
343
00:17:07,666 --> 00:17:10,032
This country, its heart.
344
00:17:10,302 --> 00:17:13,567
I wish you were a cynic.
Being President is easier for a cynic.
345
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,607
Olivia wants a meeting.
346
00:17:17,709 --> 00:17:20,906
One sit-down with Amanda Tanner
and it all goes away.
347
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,941
I think... I think it's worth it.
348
00:17:25,051 --> 00:17:26,882
We do it casually, discreet,
somewhere off the grounds.
349
00:17:26,986 --> 00:17:29,750
You hear her out and then it's done.
We're free.
350
00:17:31,023 --> 00:17:32,991
This is a chance
to put Amanda Tanner behind you.
351
00:17:33,092 --> 00:17:34,081
Olivia will be there?
352
00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:42,300
Like I said, your life would be
so much easier if you were a cynic.
353
00:17:51,879 --> 00:17:53,039
Three days out.
354
00:17:53,147 --> 00:17:55,138
We let this go to jury
and we're screwed.
355
00:17:55,249 --> 00:17:57,444
Well, it's going to
because she won't settle.
356
00:17:57,551 --> 00:17:59,645
So we lost?
357
00:17:59,754 --> 00:18:03,690
I mean, what happens when we lose?
We're just done?
358
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:08,719
We're never done.
359
00:18:09,831 --> 00:18:12,356
If we lose this round,
we prep him for appeal.
360
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:14,560
And if we lose that,
we prep him for a second appeal.
361
00:18:14,669 --> 00:18:17,639
Because whatever happens,
there is always another move.
362
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:20,004
Whatever happens, we do not give up.
363
00:18:20,109 --> 00:18:25,479
It is my name on that door,
and I do not give up.
364
00:18:30,085 --> 00:18:31,484
It's not personal.
365
00:18:32,254 --> 00:18:34,279
She really doesn't like the word "lose. "
366
00:18:39,763 --> 00:18:40,855
It feels kind of cheap.
367
00:18:40,964 --> 00:18:44,195
It is. Juries have a natural bias
against the exceedingly rich.
368
00:18:44,301 --> 00:18:47,600
Well, I have a natural bias
against rayon.
369
00:18:47,704 --> 00:18:50,696
But hey, if it'll help me
look as innocent as I am, I love it.
370
00:18:53,878 --> 00:18:55,539
Hey, man, be straight with me.
371
00:18:56,581 --> 00:18:58,879
What's the point of all this?
372
00:18:58,983 --> 00:19:02,714
I mean, if she won't settle,
I'm going to prison, aren't I?
373
00:19:06,724 --> 00:19:08,316
No more yellow ties.
374
00:19:09,494 --> 00:19:12,396
Blue. You can trust a man in blue.
375
00:19:16,935 --> 00:19:21,201
But maybe we didn't go high enough.
Maybe we should try again.
376
00:19:21,306 --> 00:19:23,570
I mean,
they always take the money in the end.
377
00:19:28,213 --> 00:19:29,875
Okay, I can't talk.
378
00:19:30,517 --> 00:19:33,008
Not now. You have to stop calling me!
379
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,848
Who were you talking to?
380
00:19:34,954 --> 00:19:37,616
That reporter from The Sun,
He keeps calling me.
381
00:19:38,658 --> 00:19:40,990
Look, I'm not going to take
your phone away.
382
00:19:41,194 --> 00:19:44,186
But I cannot stress the importance
that you only take calls
383
00:19:44,297 --> 00:19:46,060
from your parents and my staff.
384
00:19:46,165 --> 00:19:48,930
You cannot answer your phone.
Not even to tell someone to go away.
385
00:19:49,470 --> 00:19:51,665
Damn it! He knows something.
He's chomping at the bit.
386
00:19:51,772 --> 00:19:53,501
- He must have something.
- He likes me.
387
00:19:54,174 --> 00:19:55,436
- What?
- The reporter.
388
00:19:55,910 --> 00:19:58,401
Gideon. I think he likes me.
Maybe I could talk to him.
389
00:19:58,512 --> 00:19:59,672
Find out what he knows.
390
00:20:02,716 --> 00:20:03,705
Harrison.
391
00:20:03,817 --> 00:20:05,547
I want permission
to look into Travis's finances.
392
00:20:05,754 --> 00:20:06,721
What are you thinking?
393
00:20:06,821 --> 00:20:08,982
He said something about settlements.
How they always take the money.
394
00:20:09,090 --> 00:20:11,991
I think we should know
if he's speaking from experience.
395
00:20:12,794 --> 00:20:13,783
Be careful.
396
00:20:19,367 --> 00:20:21,801
In '08,
he made three payments of $200,000
397
00:20:21,903 --> 00:20:22,892
to a young woman in Arlington.
398
00:20:23,038 --> 00:20:24,131
Her name's Rachel Kline,
399
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,572
23-year-old waitress
at Darcy's in Georgetown.
400
00:20:26,676 --> 00:20:28,735
Let's track her down,
find out what the money was for.
401
00:20:28,844 --> 00:20:29,811
Can't. She's dead.
402
00:20:29,912 --> 00:20:31,504
Committed suicide three years ago.
Pills.
403
00:20:31,847 --> 00:20:34,145
600 grand's a hell of a tip
for your favorite waitress, hmm?
404
00:20:34,250 --> 00:20:35,478
All the marks of a cover-up here.
405
00:20:36,852 --> 00:20:37,841
Covering up what?
406
00:20:37,954 --> 00:20:39,717
Liv, I know Sandra's your friend, but...
407
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:41,016
If he raped that girl and paid her off,
408
00:20:41,123 --> 00:20:43,786
it makes it a lot more likely
he raped Helen, too.
409
00:20:52,536 --> 00:20:54,470
Looks like we're going
to get 458 passed in the Senate.
410
00:20:54,571 --> 00:20:57,836
Nice victory for bipartisanship. What?
411
00:20:59,944 --> 00:21:02,344
I thought we were good.
Problem solved.
412
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,710
But this just came in my mail.
My personal mail.
413
00:21:04,949 --> 00:21:07,213
- What is it?
- It's an audio tape.
414
00:21:07,318 --> 00:21:10,583
Do they call them "audio tapes" now,
what with CDs and all? I'm old.
415
00:21:10,688 --> 00:21:12,918
Cyrus, you're rambling.
You don't ramble. So now I'm nervous.
416
00:21:13,424 --> 00:21:14,686
Listen, you'll wanna hear this.
417
00:21:44,758 --> 00:21:45,725
Cy...
418
00:21:45,825 --> 00:21:47,793
From that first day, when you
asked me to run your campaign,
419
00:21:47,894 --> 00:21:49,828
I dreamed a lot of dreams. Big dreams.
420
00:21:49,929 --> 00:21:51,726
I knew you were going to be President,
but...
421
00:21:54,435 --> 00:21:56,733
I never dreamed
I'd be listening to a tape of you
422
00:21:57,438 --> 00:21:59,702
moaning with a White House aide.
423
00:22:01,008 --> 00:22:02,305
That's what that is, right?
424
00:22:02,410 --> 00:22:05,777
You with your pants down,
having sex with Amanda Tanner?
425
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:06,869
Cyrus...
426
00:22:07,048 --> 00:22:10,916
You don't talk. You don't talk anymore.
427
00:22:11,018 --> 00:22:15,615
Someone sent this to me. You get that?
Amanda Tanner is blackmailing you.
428
00:22:15,724 --> 00:22:18,955
Which means that
Olivia Pope is blackmailing you.
429
00:22:25,033 --> 00:22:29,470
This isn't Liv. Liv didn't do this.
She wouldn't do this.
430
00:22:29,571 --> 00:22:30,561
Mr. President...
431
00:22:30,673 --> 00:22:33,164
- Liv wouldn't do this.
- I don't want to believe it either, but...
432
00:22:33,276 --> 00:22:35,836
Liv is not behind this.
433
00:22:35,945 --> 00:22:38,413
She wanted a meeting.
She wanted to put this to bed.
434
00:22:38,514 --> 00:22:39,845
You know what happens
at that meeting?
435
00:22:39,982 --> 00:22:41,813
They ambush you.
436
00:22:41,918 --> 00:22:44,819
There were no demands
that came with this. Just the tape.
437
00:22:44,921 --> 00:22:47,685
The demands come in the meeting,
when you're face-to-face.
438
00:22:47,790 --> 00:22:49,656
When they have you by the balls,
when they're in control.
439
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,751
We both know
that's how Olivia Pope works.
440
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,861
There isn't gonna be a happy ending.
441
00:22:57,968 --> 00:22:59,560
- Liv isn't coming home.
- Okay.
442
00:22:59,670 --> 00:23:00,796
- She's not going to forgive you.
- Okay.
443
00:23:00,904 --> 00:23:01,893
She's going to take a knife,
444
00:23:02,005 --> 00:23:03,905
and she's going to gut you,
and she's going to walk away...
445
00:23:04,007 --> 00:23:05,941
I said okay!
446
00:23:12,050 --> 00:23:13,813
Oh, my God.
447
00:23:19,591 --> 00:23:20,990
I just left Rachel's parents' house.
448
00:23:21,092 --> 00:23:22,150
Mother tell you anything?
449
00:23:22,260 --> 00:23:23,420
She wouldn't talk,
but she didn't have to,
450
00:23:23,528 --> 00:23:26,054
She's a fourth-grade teacher and
there's an S-Class in the driveway.
451
00:23:26,165 --> 00:23:27,996
Looks like a 2007, maybe 2008,
452
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:30,660
That's an $80,000 car that came out
the year her daughter was paid off.
453
00:23:30,770 --> 00:23:31,737
It must have been Rachel's.
454
00:23:31,871 --> 00:23:33,429
Exactly. You wanna know the best part?
455
00:23:33,539 --> 00:23:35,404
There's an American University sticker
on it.
456
00:23:35,508 --> 00:23:36,668
Helen went to American,
457
00:23:37,076 --> 00:23:38,338
Harrison, I'm gonna need you to get...
458
00:23:38,444 --> 00:23:40,071
Already on it.
459
00:23:43,150 --> 00:23:44,139
You're not a cop.
460
00:23:44,484 --> 00:23:45,508
Not even close.
461
00:23:45,619 --> 00:23:47,917
Usually all we get down here are cops.
Sometimes lawyers.
462
00:23:48,021 --> 00:23:49,420
But you're not a lawyer, either.
463
00:23:49,523 --> 00:23:51,184
I'm definitely not a cop.
Some days, I'm a lawyer,
464
00:23:51,291 --> 00:23:54,488
but today, I'm just a single man
looking for evidence.
465
00:23:54,594 --> 00:23:56,528
An old rape kit from a few years ago,
if you even have it.
466
00:23:56,797 --> 00:23:58,264
A woman named Rachel Kline?
467
00:23:58,865 --> 00:24:00,127
You flirting with me?
468
00:24:00,468 --> 00:24:03,767
'Cause I test rape kits all day.
Hundreds of them.
469
00:24:03,871 --> 00:24:07,170
Backlogged so bad, it'll be 10 years
before some of them even get opened.
470
00:24:07,275 --> 00:24:08,242
You know what's in a rape kit,
471
00:24:08,342 --> 00:24:10,173
guy-who's-sometimes-a-lawyer-
but-not-a-cop?
472
00:24:10,845 --> 00:24:15,782
Swabs. From her lips, her cheeks,
her thighs, her hair, her cervix,
473
00:24:15,883 --> 00:24:17,976
the panties she was wearing
when he pulled them down,
474
00:24:18,085 --> 00:24:19,576
the little bits of him
they combed off her body,
475
00:24:19,688 --> 00:24:21,383
and the comb they used to do it.
476
00:24:21,490 --> 00:24:23,481
If I can give you something
that's gonna get some justice
477
00:24:23,592 --> 00:24:26,755
for one of these women
whose pain and shame is in these bags,
478
00:24:26,862 --> 00:24:28,420
just ask me, I'll do it.
479
00:24:28,730 --> 00:24:30,595
But if you want anything else,
you've come to the wrong place.
480
00:24:30,699 --> 00:24:33,167
The rape kit will be fine.
Thank you, ma'am.
481
00:24:51,521 --> 00:24:57,017
Hey, Gideon? Hi, it's Quinn. Perkins.
From Olivia Pope and Associates.
482
00:24:58,229 --> 00:25:00,094
I was wondering if you wanted to grab a
drink with me tonight?
483
00:25:00,197 --> 00:25:01,357
If you're busy
it's completely and totally fine.
484
00:25:01,465 --> 00:25:02,432
We could do it another time.
485
00:25:02,533 --> 00:25:04,228
Tomorrow, or next week,
or never at all ever.
486
00:25:07,238 --> 00:25:11,072
Okay, sure. Bye.
487
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:19,350
What?
488
00:25:19,584 --> 00:25:20,551
You're weird.
489
00:25:20,919 --> 00:25:21,886
I'm not weird.
490
00:25:22,087 --> 00:25:23,315
Weird is good.
491
00:25:26,324 --> 00:25:27,655
Thank you.
492
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,024
Amanda settling in okay?
493
00:25:36,068 --> 00:25:37,831
I'm sorry we didn't vote.
494
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,529
We never vote. Not really.
495
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:44,668
Trust me, we're on the right side of this.
496
00:25:44,810 --> 00:25:47,472
Whose side, Liv? The White House's?
Amanda's?
497
00:25:48,347 --> 00:25:50,282
You have a conflict of interest
so big in this thing,
498
00:25:50,384 --> 00:25:51,783
I don't even think there's a word for it.
499
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:54,109
Mellie.
500
00:25:54,221 --> 00:25:55,950
I hope
I'm not catching you at a bad time?
501
00:25:56,056 --> 00:25:57,990
No, not at all, What can I do for you?
502
00:25:58,091 --> 00:25:59,353
Well, you know,
we have that State Dinner tonight,
503
00:25:59,493 --> 00:26:00,551
and I checked, and I couldn't believe it,
504
00:26:00,661 --> 00:26:02,686
but it looks like
you didn't receive an invitation.
505
00:26:02,796 --> 00:26:04,593
Which was an oversight, I swear.
506
00:26:04,698 --> 00:26:06,757
I'm flattered. Truly. But to...
507
00:26:06,867 --> 00:26:09,234
8:00. See you then. Thank you.
508
00:26:16,477 --> 00:26:17,444
You're gonna want to see this.
509
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,671
She met Travis in a bar,
in Adams Morgan.
510
00:26:20,782 --> 00:26:22,977
She was just out of
American, working at a lobbying firm.
511
00:26:23,084 --> 00:26:24,642
After a night of heavy drinking,
512
00:26:24,786 --> 00:26:26,687
Rachel went home with Travis
and he raped her.
513
00:26:26,855 --> 00:26:29,881
Filed a police report, rape kit and all.
Two days later, he made payments.
514
00:26:30,025 --> 00:26:31,083
Three payments to her account.
515
00:26:31,193 --> 00:26:33,252
Bought her an S-Class
to sweeten the deal.
516
00:26:33,529 --> 00:26:36,623
She recanted her story to the police.
Thought she could just move on,
517
00:26:36,732 --> 00:26:39,200
but she couldn't function.
Had to move back in with her parents.
518
00:26:39,301 --> 00:26:40,632
And then one night, about a year later,
519
00:26:40,736 --> 00:26:42,966
she swallowed enough Seconal
to end her life.
520
00:26:43,506 --> 00:26:46,373
She was found by a friend.
Her best friend.
521
00:26:46,476 --> 00:26:49,001
She changed her hair
from brunette to blonde, but it's still...
522
00:26:49,112 --> 00:26:50,579
Helen Fisher.
523
00:26:54,651 --> 00:26:57,176
You were right about Helen.
She was after Travis.
524
00:26:57,420 --> 00:26:59,183
But not for the money.
525
00:26:59,289 --> 00:27:00,483
She was after Travis because,
526
00:27:00,590 --> 00:27:03,424
four years ago,
he raped her best friend.
527
00:27:03,995 --> 00:27:07,954
Her name was Rachel Kline.
And you destroyed her life, Travis.
528
00:27:08,766 --> 00:27:10,393
But you're not guilty of raping Helen,
529
00:27:10,501 --> 00:27:12,298
and Rachel
can never testify against you.
530
00:27:12,403 --> 00:27:13,370
So you'll go free.
531
00:27:14,038 --> 00:27:15,005
Is this true?
532
00:27:16,273 --> 00:27:18,104
- Mom...
- Answer me, honey.
533
00:27:19,143 --> 00:27:21,112
I didn't want to tell you.
534
00:27:22,481 --> 00:27:25,507
I didn't want to disappoint you
any more than I...
535
00:27:26,451 --> 00:27:29,818
I'm sorry.
I screwed up, and I tried to fix it.
536
00:27:30,255 --> 00:27:31,620
I tried.
537
00:27:31,723 --> 00:27:34,886
You told me, you always said,
I should fix my mistakes.
538
00:27:34,993 --> 00:27:39,363
So I took care of it. I handled it.
539
00:27:46,105 --> 00:27:47,970
You went to Tony's on Thursdays
540
00:27:48,074 --> 00:27:50,269
because the defendant
went there on Thursdays.
541
00:27:50,410 --> 00:27:51,536
- Isn't that right?
- No, I...
542
00:27:51,644 --> 00:27:54,511
You went every Thursday
for six months!
543
00:27:54,614 --> 00:27:55,638
- Isn't that correct?
- Yes, but...
544
00:27:55,748 --> 00:27:56,807
You stalked him. Didn't you?
545
00:27:56,917 --> 00:27:59,249
Objection! Argumentative.
Sustained.
546
00:27:59,353 --> 00:28:02,754
You approached him as a brunette
and then, when he didn't respond,
547
00:28:02,856 --> 00:28:05,518
you changed your hair color,
so he would notice you!
548
00:28:05,626 --> 00:28:07,753
He hurt me! He pinned me down...
549
00:28:07,861 --> 00:28:10,921
Ms. Fisher!
Stick to the questions.
550
00:28:11,031 --> 00:28:12,430
You were obsessed.
551
00:28:12,533 --> 00:28:16,061
You change your hair color,
you follow Travis around,
552
00:28:16,905 --> 00:28:18,839
so you could seduce him.
553
00:28:18,940 --> 00:28:22,535
You went home with him,
you had consensual sex with him,
554
00:28:22,644 --> 00:28:26,603
and then you set him up.
Set all of us up!
555
00:28:42,731 --> 00:28:44,528
He's going to get off, isn't he?
556
00:28:47,002 --> 00:28:52,464
They're destroying that girl in there.
Travis is gonna be just fine.
557
00:28:54,578 --> 00:28:57,706
I signed him up for everything
when he was a kid.
558
00:28:57,814 --> 00:28:59,975
Hockey, soccer, lacrosse.
559
00:29:00,250 --> 00:29:02,775
I figured if I couldn't be around,
at least he'd stay busy,
560
00:29:02,919 --> 00:29:03,943
maybe he wouldn't notice.
561
00:29:04,488 --> 00:29:08,255
He was great at everything.
Made every All-Star team.
562
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,022
In 10 years,
I never made it to a single game.
563
00:29:13,231 --> 00:29:14,994
It's not your fault.
564
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,062
He hurt someone, Liv.
565
00:29:17,902 --> 00:29:19,870
He held her down and he...
566
00:29:21,639 --> 00:29:23,664
My son did that.
567
00:29:25,276 --> 00:29:26,835
He's a...
568
00:29:31,049 --> 00:29:32,710
What should I do?
569
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,978
Tell me.
570
00:29:36,889 --> 00:29:39,585
There's nothing you can do.
571
00:29:39,691 --> 00:29:43,684
Who he is, what he is, it's not your fault.
572
00:29:55,542 --> 00:29:56,509
Here you go.
573
00:29:57,310 --> 00:29:59,301
Hey.
- What are you doing here?
574
00:29:59,412 --> 00:30:00,743
- Setting you up.
- Setting me up?
575
00:30:00,847 --> 00:30:02,839
Virgin margaritas for the lady, all night.
576
00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:06,249
And whatever her date orders,
gets a three-finger pour of booze in it.
577
00:30:06,353 --> 00:30:09,049
Put your hair down
and take that jacket off.
578
00:30:09,156 --> 00:30:12,216
Flirt just enough, but not too much,
and do not let him see you home.
579
00:30:12,326 --> 00:30:13,725
I can handle myself, you know?
580
00:30:13,827 --> 00:30:16,819
Well, I heard you on the phone.
You need to be set up.
581
00:30:39,488 --> 00:30:40,887
So nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming.
582
00:30:41,123 --> 00:30:42,283
- Thank you.
Hi.
583
00:30:44,694 --> 00:30:46,423
This is Prime Minister McMillan.
584
00:30:51,167 --> 00:30:52,532
Hi.
What's Olivia doing here?
585
00:30:52,735 --> 00:30:53,702
I invited her.
586
00:30:53,803 --> 00:30:54,861
- How are you, Bill?
- Good to see you.
587
00:30:55,004 --> 00:30:57,235
Yeah, you two know each other.
588
00:30:57,741 --> 00:31:00,471
Liv. You look lovely.
589
00:31:02,179 --> 00:31:03,146
Doesn't she look lovely?
590
00:31:03,247 --> 00:31:05,044
Of course, yeah.
I'm so happy you could come.
591
00:31:05,482 --> 00:31:07,211
I wouldn't miss it, Mr. President.
592
00:31:08,518 --> 00:31:12,045
Prime Minister, delightful to see you.
How is the new baby?
593
00:31:12,322 --> 00:31:14,449
Wonderful to see you.
Thank you so much for coming.
594
00:31:15,026 --> 00:31:18,962
Oh, hi! Great to see you.
595
00:31:28,773 --> 00:31:31,207
You're better than I expected.
596
00:31:31,342 --> 00:31:33,368
Well, they had ballroom dancing
at Andover.
597
00:31:33,479 --> 00:31:37,973
It was the only way I could get near
a girl back then, so I took it twice.
598
00:31:38,250 --> 00:31:40,582
Glad to see it's working out for you.
599
00:31:45,557 --> 00:31:46,854
What?
600
00:31:46,959 --> 00:31:50,486
Trying to figure out how I can sexually
harass you and get away with it.
601
00:31:50,596 --> 00:31:51,825
- Billy.
- What?
602
00:31:51,931 --> 00:31:54,866
You don't work here anymore.
You could date me. I'm a catch.
603
00:31:54,968 --> 00:31:57,596
Or is there another guy?
604
00:31:59,739 --> 00:32:01,673
I'd like a turn with
the best dancer in the West Wing.
605
00:32:01,775 --> 00:32:03,675
No offense, Fitz.
606
00:32:03,777 --> 00:32:04,971
None taken.
607
00:32:07,414 --> 00:32:08,608
- You mind?
- No.
608
00:32:09,283 --> 00:32:10,250
- Oh.
Oh!
609
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,569
- Keep them coming.
Yes, sir.
610
00:32:37,479 --> 00:32:39,379
- Don't look at me.
- How come?
611
00:32:39,481 --> 00:32:41,312
Because everyone will know.
612
00:32:42,417 --> 00:32:45,386
- I can't not look at you.
- The song will be over in a minute.
613
00:32:45,488 --> 00:32:49,982
This is ridiculous.
Everything is ridiculous.
614
00:32:51,527 --> 00:32:52,494
How did it all get so...
615
00:32:54,497 --> 00:32:58,866
Damn it, just look at me. Look at me.
616
00:33:00,703 --> 00:33:03,137
- Meet me at our spot in 10 minutes.
- No.
617
00:33:03,841 --> 00:33:07,470
I am not spending
any more time away from you.
618
00:33:10,547 --> 00:33:13,345
Stop it. We're in public. Look away.
619
00:33:16,153 --> 00:33:19,816
I know I don't have the right, I know.
620
00:33:19,923 --> 00:33:22,222
I know you don't trust me. I...
621
00:33:26,898 --> 00:33:29,298
- I love you.
- Your wife is 10 feet away.
622
00:33:29,401 --> 00:33:30,868
- I love you.
- What about Amanda?
623
00:33:31,002 --> 00:33:33,937
I love you.
624
00:33:43,549 --> 00:33:46,279
- Our spot. Ten minutes.
- You can't leave your own State Dinner.
625
00:33:47,253 --> 00:33:48,686
Watch me.
626
00:33:58,198 --> 00:33:59,358
Generous bartender.
627
00:33:59,499 --> 00:34:00,989
I know, I'm so buzzed.
628
00:34:01,101 --> 00:34:02,500
- So should we get to it?
- I'm sorry?
629
00:34:02,602 --> 00:34:04,229
- I know why you called.
- You do?
630
00:34:04,371 --> 00:34:06,703
To find out what I know.
Dig around, find my weak spots.
631
00:34:06,807 --> 00:34:07,796
Let me save you some time.
632
00:34:07,908 --> 00:34:09,500
I have tried every drug
but the needle drugs,
633
00:34:09,609 --> 00:34:12,442
but I'm only addicted to SportsCenter
and my BlackBerry.
634
00:34:12,546 --> 00:34:16,108
Talked my way out of a DUl in Lubbock,
but the arrest record is still on file.
635
00:34:16,451 --> 00:34:19,284
Texas. And in eighth grade,
I stuffed the ballot box
636
00:34:19,387 --> 00:34:20,979
in an attempt to
rig the student council election.
637
00:34:21,088 --> 00:34:22,988
But I did it
to get closer to Jenny Marconi.
638
00:34:23,391 --> 00:34:26,827
- Not for the power. I still lost.
- Okay.
639
00:34:26,928 --> 00:34:28,418
I'm not giving up this story.
640
00:34:28,529 --> 00:34:31,191
It's my ticket off of metro
and onto national.
641
00:34:31,299 --> 00:34:32,288
And don't tell me it's not a story,
642
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,631
'cause that would insult
what little intelligence I have.
643
00:34:34,736 --> 00:34:36,863
And I wouldn't believe you anyway,
because your boss is involved
644
00:34:36,972 --> 00:34:38,963
and you're a terrible liar
who's not the least bit buzzed.
645
00:34:39,074 --> 00:34:41,542
And I know that because
you've had as much as I've had
646
00:34:41,643 --> 00:34:43,133
and while I am genuinely buzzed,
647
00:34:43,245 --> 00:34:47,705
you are coiled like a cobra,
'cause you're so freaking tense.
648
00:34:49,017 --> 00:34:50,109
Now that you know everything,
649
00:34:50,219 --> 00:34:52,050
let's forget about work
for a couple of hours,
650
00:34:53,122 --> 00:34:54,646
get you a real drink.
651
00:34:57,660 --> 00:34:58,991
Why did you break the deal with Olivia?
652
00:34:59,796 --> 00:35:00,956
What are you talking about?
653
00:35:01,064 --> 00:35:03,157
You called Amanda.
I was there when she got the call.
654
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:05,527
Don't get me wrong, I'm digging.
655
00:35:05,635 --> 00:35:08,229
I called Amanda's college roommate,
I called her friends at the White House,
656
00:35:08,338 --> 00:35:12,332
but I absolutely, positively,
did not call Amanda.
657
00:35:12,443 --> 00:35:14,638
I'm keeping my promise.
I want that quote.
658
00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:25,420
Oh, Cyrus. Hello.
659
00:35:25,523 --> 00:35:27,286
I don't know
what you think you're playing at, Liv,
660
00:35:27,424 --> 00:35:29,154
but I don't take kindly to blackmail.
661
00:35:29,761 --> 00:35:30,728
I'm sorry, what?
662
00:35:30,829 --> 00:35:33,127
I never took you
for the "hell hath no fury" type.
663
00:35:33,231 --> 00:35:36,359
It's a little trashy, but so is
having an affair with a married man.
664
00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:38,436
You ought to be careful, Cyrus,
with how you speak to me,
665
00:35:38,537 --> 00:35:40,903
because I might forget that
we are friends. Now, if you'll excuse...
666
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:43,406
What happened, you danced?
He said he loved you?
667
00:35:43,508 --> 00:35:46,535
What, are you gonna go
meet him right now? He's good.
668
00:35:46,646 --> 00:35:48,739
He has you in the palm of his hand.
You're being played.
669
00:35:49,081 --> 00:35:50,981
You're being played by
the best politician in the world.
670
00:35:51,083 --> 00:35:54,450
The upside? The tell-all book
that you can write when you're old.
671
00:35:54,554 --> 00:35:56,886
The President's Whore,
it's all very dirty and bestseller.
672
00:35:58,491 --> 00:35:59,617
These very nice agents
673
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:02,460
are going to escort you
off the White House grounds.
674
00:36:02,762 --> 00:36:06,529
And you can tell Amanda Tanner that
the meeting with the President is off.
675
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,572
I was wrong before.
676
00:36:21,682 --> 00:36:22,809
Livvie? It's late.
677
00:36:22,917 --> 00:36:25,385
I was wrong before about it
not being your fault. It is your fault.
678
00:36:25,486 --> 00:36:26,453
What?
679
00:36:26,554 --> 00:36:29,216
You love him. You do.
But you can't fix everything for him.
680
00:36:29,324 --> 00:36:31,519
You can't. He's playing you.
Because you let him.
681
00:36:31,626 --> 00:36:34,459
You give him everything he asks for,
and you clean up his messes,
682
00:36:34,562 --> 00:36:36,154
and you believe him,
even when he lies to you,
683
00:36:36,264 --> 00:36:40,998
and that is not love.
Love is making him face who he is.
684
00:36:41,203 --> 00:36:44,866
The best thing you can do for him
is to do the best thing for him.
685
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,405
It's not your fault, what he did,
686
00:36:46,508 --> 00:36:48,669
but letting him get away with it,
that is your fault.
687
00:36:58,787 --> 00:36:59,812
Mr. President.
688
00:36:59,923 --> 00:37:02,721
Cyrus, this is not a good time.
689
00:37:02,959 --> 00:37:04,290
Olivia's not coming.
690
00:37:04,694 --> 00:37:05,956
What?
691
00:37:06,062 --> 00:37:08,121
She canceled the meeting
with Amanda Tanner.
692
00:37:08,865 --> 00:37:12,562
She was playing you, twisting the knife.
I'm sorry, sir.
693
00:37:20,111 --> 00:37:21,772
I need to get back to the Prime Minister.
694
00:37:34,492 --> 00:37:37,053
You want me to turn myself in?
695
00:37:38,030 --> 00:37:42,626
That's a little drastic. Right, Mom?
696
00:37:43,035 --> 00:37:45,697
You raped that girl, Travis.
She killed herself.
697
00:37:45,804 --> 00:37:48,432
But that wasn't my fault. It wasn't.
698
00:37:48,573 --> 00:37:50,438
Travis, please. This is hard enough.
699
00:37:52,411 --> 00:37:56,041
So I made a couple of payments.
They can't put me away for that.
700
00:37:57,316 --> 00:38:01,480
There's a rape kit.
It's got your DNA all over it.
701
00:38:01,621 --> 00:38:02,781
But she never pressed charges.
702
00:38:03,022 --> 00:38:04,717
They don't even have my name.
703
00:38:05,958 --> 00:38:07,050
It happened once.
704
00:38:07,593 --> 00:38:10,027
- It'll never happen again, I promise.
- Travis...
705
00:38:10,129 --> 00:38:12,860
I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to my mother.
706
00:38:15,069 --> 00:38:17,537
I'll go away. How's that sound?
707
00:38:17,638 --> 00:38:19,435
I'll go to Europe for a couple years,
708
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,198
and then I'll come back
and run the company.
709
00:38:21,308 --> 00:38:25,039
That was always the plan anyway.
That's a good compromise, right?
710
00:38:26,513 --> 00:38:28,003
That's what I thought you'd say.
711
00:38:28,782 --> 00:38:31,581
Well, good.
That takes care of the problem.
712
00:38:36,624 --> 00:38:38,489
I've already taken care of it, honey.
713
00:38:42,530 --> 00:38:45,556
You didn't. Mom?
714
00:38:48,337 --> 00:38:51,101
Don't do this, Mom! Mom!
715
00:38:52,141 --> 00:38:57,443
Don't do this! Mom! Listen to me.
Please! This is crazy.
716
00:38:57,546 --> 00:39:01,038
Jane Powell, my friend,
got transferred to misdemeanors.
717
00:39:01,383 --> 00:39:02,372
Oh?
718
00:39:02,485 --> 00:39:06,479
Something about incompetence.
Didn't research the defendant well.
719
00:39:06,757 --> 00:39:07,917
How sad for you.
720
00:39:09,559 --> 00:39:13,290
- Okay, maybe.
- Maybe what?
721
00:39:14,297 --> 00:39:17,357
Maybe we can be friends. Maybe.
722
00:39:27,678 --> 00:39:28,702
You okay?
723
00:39:29,947 --> 00:39:31,972
Why did you invite her
to the State Dinner?
724
00:39:33,618 --> 00:39:34,983
Olivia?
725
00:39:38,689 --> 00:39:40,020
Why would you do that?
726
00:39:46,231 --> 00:39:47,823
Because you needed to see her.
727
00:39:53,405 --> 00:39:55,669
I trust that tonight,
you'll sleep like a baby.
728
00:40:04,651 --> 00:40:05,845
Wait, where's Amanda?
729
00:40:05,952 --> 00:40:06,976
Change of plan.
730
00:40:07,086 --> 00:40:09,179
You're not getting a quote
from Amanda.
731
00:40:09,289 --> 00:40:12,122
Screwed by Olivia Pope.
Why am I not surprised?
732
00:40:12,225 --> 00:40:13,249
You're getting something better.
733
00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:14,826
Something that will actually
help your career.
734
00:40:14,928 --> 00:40:16,190
An interview with Sandra Harding.
735
00:40:16,296 --> 00:40:18,025
- Have you heard of her?
HDX, right?
736
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:20,065
Her company's worth 300 million.
737
00:40:20,167 --> 00:40:23,534
About an hour ago, she turned her son
in to the U.S. Attorney for rape.
738
00:40:23,671 --> 00:40:25,263
Tomorrow, she's going to resign.
739
00:40:25,372 --> 00:40:28,808
She's agreed to tell you, and only you,
her side of the story.
740
00:40:28,909 --> 00:40:31,776
Not only will your byline
be on the front page of your paper,
741
00:40:31,879 --> 00:40:34,575
but this story, your exclusive story,
742
00:40:34,682 --> 00:40:37,174
will be chased by
every major newspaper in the country.
743
00:40:37,285 --> 00:40:39,150
And they'll get nothing.
744
00:40:39,821 --> 00:40:42,415
I know it's not cherry blossoms, but...
745
00:40:43,692 --> 00:40:47,150
Thank you. I... Thank you.
746
00:40:47,295 --> 00:40:49,263
Gideon, that was a meeting.
747
00:40:49,364 --> 00:40:51,093
I've been meaning to tell you,
it's probably nothing,
748
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,325
but Gideon said this thing at drinks
749
00:40:52,434 --> 00:40:53,765
about how
he never called Amanda, not once.
750
00:40:53,869 --> 00:40:56,430
And my gut says to believe him,
my gut says he's not lying.
751
00:40:56,539 --> 00:40:59,667
- Reporters lie, Quinn.
- My gut says she's lying.
752
00:40:59,775 --> 00:41:01,402
I don't think
Amanda's telling you everything.
753
00:41:10,319 --> 00:41:12,481
He's mad at me. I get that.
754
00:41:14,758 --> 00:41:18,558
But if I could just have five minutes
alone with him,
755
00:41:18,662 --> 00:41:20,220
I know that I could explain.
756
00:41:20,330 --> 00:41:21,695
I know how hard this is.
757
00:41:22,466 --> 00:41:23,660
I'm sure you do.
758
00:41:24,902 --> 00:41:28,497
You're afraid that it was nothing.
That he's forgotten it already.
759
00:41:28,605 --> 00:41:31,939
Tossed you like yesterday's paper
and moved on without another thought.
760
00:41:32,043 --> 00:41:34,773
And if he's forgotten, then it's almost
as if it never happened.
761
00:41:34,879 --> 00:41:36,779
That what you had with him wasn't real.
762
00:41:36,881 --> 00:41:40,146
And that makes you feel
completely and utterly alone.
763
00:41:41,352 --> 00:41:43,547
But I haven't forgotten.
764
00:41:43,655 --> 00:41:46,852
I know what happened.
I know it was real.
765
00:41:46,958 --> 00:41:50,588
And whatever you decide to do here,
however you want to play this thing out,
766
00:41:50,696 --> 00:41:53,460
I will stand beside you,
every step of the way.
767
00:41:53,565 --> 00:41:56,898
If you ask me to,
I will make him remember.
768
00:41:57,002 --> 00:42:00,870
And you will never,
ever be alone in this again.
769
00:42:00,973 --> 00:42:05,569
But I'm going to need everything.
Every truth. Every detail.
770
00:42:05,678 --> 00:42:09,740
If I'm going to stand with you, Amanda,
I need to hear all of it.
771
00:42:15,722 --> 00:42:16,780
I'm pregnant.
772
00:42:21,285 --> 00:42:24,771
