1
00:00:01,201 --> 00:00:03,101
I am done.
I am done defending you, Huck.
2
00:00:03,169 --> 00:00:05,933
The best thing I could do for you
is to shoot you.
3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,166
Please, Quinn. Do it.
4
00:00:07,273 --> 00:00:08,831
Last season, on Scandal...
5
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:10,739
Your new junior senator!
6
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:13,142
There was a donor
to Mrs. Grant's campaign.
7
00:00:13,246 --> 00:00:14,440
What did he ask her to do?
8
00:00:14,547 --> 00:00:16,105
I need you to get me a list.
9
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:20,243
Pack your bags
and get out of my house!
10
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,618
Cyrus. You arrested Olivia.
11
00:00:22,722 --> 00:00:24,747
You worked with the man
who killed my son.
12
00:00:24,824 --> 00:00:26,257
You're fired.
13
00:00:26,326 --> 00:00:27,816
I am in love with you,
14
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:29,792
but you are in love with him.
15
00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:31,830
- Hi.
- Hi.
16
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:39,567
Lovers of liberty. Good evening.
17
00:00:39,639 --> 00:00:42,938
Tonight, I come to you filled
with the righteous indignation
18
00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:44,306
of a true American.
19
00:00:44,677 --> 00:00:47,908
Tonight, my flag waves
and my patriotic fires burn.
20
00:00:48,014 --> 00:00:49,948
Because, tonight,
over in the White House,
21
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:53,076
the man who calls himself our president
is throwing a party.
22
00:00:53,153 --> 00:00:55,713
He's making a mockery
of what our fine nation stands for.
23
00:00:55,789 --> 00:00:58,087
He has betrayed honor and virtue.
24
00:00:58,158 --> 00:01:00,388
And tonight, he celebrates that betrayal.
25
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,953
Tonight, he bathes in his filthy glory.
26
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,725
Tonight, he has the audacity to ask us,
27
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:10,093
patriots, Americans,
to join him in his jubilation.
28
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:13,901
To skip with him down the road
to Sodom and Gomorrah.
29
00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:16,271
And all the while, he holds our hands
30
00:01:16,342 --> 00:01:18,572
and tells us fairy tales...
31
00:01:18,645 --> 00:01:20,442
A young woman, a commoner,
32
00:01:20,513 --> 00:01:23,607
an all-American girl,
who falls in love with the golden son
33
00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:24,911
who would be king?
34
00:01:24,984 --> 00:01:26,781
Really? It's a story.
35
00:01:26,853 --> 00:01:29,651
And not a very original one at that.
36
00:01:33,126 --> 00:01:34,150
Hi.
37
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:36,918
Hi.
38
00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:39,058
And even if it is true,
39
00:01:39,132 --> 00:01:42,659
even if it is the single greatest
true love story of all time?
40
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:43,929
Are we supposed to care?
41
00:01:44,003 --> 00:01:45,493
Am I supposed to swoon?
42
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:47,470
Do not hold your breath.
43
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:50,600
The amount of money
spent on this party is atrocious.
44
00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:53,703
Your hard-earned tax dollars
needlessly and lavishly spent
45
00:01:53,813 --> 00:01:56,145
on a five-course meal with...
What did I read?
46
00:01:56,216 --> 00:01:58,980
Two, no, three kinds of wine,
plus champagne.
47
00:02:01,187 --> 00:02:03,280
Wow.
48
00:02:03,723 --> 00:02:05,953
Thank you.
49
00:02:06,025 --> 00:02:07,014
No. Okay.
50
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:10,153
Be careful.
This dress is couture.
51
00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:12,991
I need it to stay perfect.
52
00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:14,191
Then take it off.
53
00:02:16,703 --> 00:02:18,796
And what is it all for, liberty lovers?
54
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:21,670
Why, it is for our very own
American Princess
55
00:02:21,774 --> 00:02:23,537
and her Prince Charming.
56
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,805
Ha! That's what the White House
would like you to think.
57
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:27,813
But isn't it more likely
that the President
58
00:02:27,881 --> 00:02:30,179
is simply using our own
Princess Emily?
59
00:02:30,383 --> 00:02:34,217
Her humble Iowa roots,
her sure-footed Midwestern values?
60
00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:36,987
Using her marriage to Prince Richard
61
00:02:37,056 --> 00:02:40,116
to justify throwing this overpriced
White House State Dinner
62
00:02:40,193 --> 00:02:41,820
for the nation of Caledonia?
63
00:02:42,228 --> 00:02:45,163
Isn't it possible that the goal
is really to butter up
64
00:02:45,231 --> 00:02:48,928
Princess Emily's mother-in-law,
Her Majesty Queen Isabel?
65
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:52,904
Isn't it possible that the President
and his band of West Wing hippies
66
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:55,668
are trying to convince the Queen
to allow the U.S. Military
67
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:59,007
to build an unnecessary
and wasteful naval base
68
00:02:59,078 --> 00:03:00,170
on Caledonian soil?
69
00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:02,507
Okay.
70
00:03:05,818 --> 00:03:07,843
See you on
the flip side?
71
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:10,049
We could just walk in together.
72
00:03:10,356 --> 00:03:13,519
Yes, let's start
an international incident.
73
00:03:13,593 --> 00:03:14,924
Let's.
74
00:03:15,828 --> 00:03:18,092
Goodbye, mister.
75
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:25,026
Last chance.
76
00:03:25,672 --> 00:03:26,866
Oh, Mr. President.
77
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:28,032
I see you, sir.
78
00:03:28,107 --> 00:03:29,438
And I ask you this,
79
00:03:29,542 --> 00:03:32,272
what other tricks do you have
up your sleeve?
80
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:34,778
2What other secrets are you hiding?
81
00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:37,207
To new beginnings.
82
00:03:37,283 --> 00:03:39,217
To new beginnings.
83
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Ripped & Corrected By mstoll
84
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:58,727
It seems poor Mellie Grant
85
00:03:58,805 --> 00:04:01,035
seems to have come down with,
and I quote,
86
00:04:01,107 --> 00:04:02,734
"A terrible flu."
87
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:04,071
Isn't that interesting?
88
00:04:04,143 --> 00:04:07,112
Our vaccination-touting First Lady
didn't get her flu shot?
89
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,914
She's due to be sworn in
to the United States Senate tomorrow.
90
00:04:09,983 --> 00:04:11,974
Will she be too sick
to attend that as well?
91
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:13,484
I am not ill.
92
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:15,213
The First Lady is not ill.
93
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:16,414
The First Lady is ill.
94
00:04:16,489 --> 00:04:17,547
Do you know how I know?
95
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:21,424
Because I stood at the podium
in the press room 38 minutes ago
96
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:23,985
and told the press
that the First Lady has the flu.
97
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:25,121
They can't have a State Dinner
98
00:04:25,231 --> 00:04:26,789
without the First Lady
of the United States.
99
00:04:26,899 --> 00:04:29,390
You can't have a State Dinner
without the First Lady.
100
00:04:29,469 --> 00:04:31,061
Apparently, we can.
101
00:04:31,137 --> 00:04:32,229
Who'll sit next to the President?
102
00:04:32,305 --> 00:04:33,363
Who'll sit next to the President?
103
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,430
Rachel. Muzzle your beast.
104
00:04:35,541 --> 00:04:36,701
We have a plan.
105
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:38,268
So...
106
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:42,076
You've been Queen a long time.
107
00:04:42,582 --> 00:04:44,209
Oh, yes.
108
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:47,620
And we were very interested
to hear about
109
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,915
your rapid rise to the Vice Presidency.
110
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,923
It was fast, wasn't it?
111
00:04:58,231 --> 00:04:59,721
Nice charade.
112
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,268
- But I don't think anyone's buying it.
- What?
113
00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:03,931
Mellie. The flu.
114
00:05:04,003 --> 00:05:05,664
I could have done better
if he gave me some notice.
115
00:05:05,738 --> 00:05:07,171
I had no notice.
116
00:05:08,341 --> 00:05:10,036
How long did it take for him to call you?
117
00:05:10,476 --> 00:05:11,807
Who?
118
00:05:12,845 --> 00:05:13,903
Oh, he didn't call.
119
00:05:14,447 --> 00:05:17,007
The President didn't call you
the minute he kicked Mellie out?
120
00:05:17,116 --> 00:05:18,174
No.
121
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:20,514
I wanted to thank you,
Your Majesty.
122
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:23,521
For your continued participation
in these naval base discussions.
123
00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:25,648
I know it's been a long road,
124
00:05:25,758 --> 00:05:28,022
but I'm looking forward
to finally reaching an agreement.
125
00:05:28,127 --> 00:05:30,789
Your support would mean
the world to us.
126
00:05:30,863 --> 00:05:33,354
And if you need anything from me
to move this all along,
127
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:35,230
- anything at all...
- Time.
128
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:37,428
Excuse me, Your Majesty?
129
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:40,870
Time would be what I require,
Mr. President.
130
00:05:40,973 --> 00:05:44,272
I know, of course, that my support
would mean the world to you.
131
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:48,906
I need to decide what, if anything,
your military base would mean to me.
132
00:05:48,981 --> 00:05:50,448
Of course.
133
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:52,040
Absolutely, Your Majesty.
134
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:54,449
I do appreciate your patience.
135
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:57,781
He really didn't call you?
136
00:05:58,358 --> 00:05:59,518
He didn't call.
137
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:00,581
He didn't call?
138
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:02,855
Abby, he didn't call because we don't
have anything to talk about.
139
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:05,090
Why would we? That's over.
140
00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:07,397
I'm off my game.
141
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,196
Without Cyrus there, I'm telling you,
everything is all weird now.
142
00:06:10,303 --> 00:06:12,635
Before, I was in the middle of it.
And now, it's all just...
143
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:15,970
My game is gone.
Liz North is waiting for me to fail.
144
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:17,339
I need to get out before she fires me.
145
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,344
I need a new life.
146
00:06:20,012 --> 00:06:21,479
You know whose life I need?
147
00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:23,208
Princess Emily's. That woman?
148
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:25,580
Nothing but game.
She was a human rights lawyer.
149
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:28,210
And now she gets to wear
diamonds on her head.
150
00:06:28,321 --> 00:06:29,583
On her head, Liv.
151
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:31,020
I think I'll stick with being me.
152
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:32,682
I wonder what that life is like.
153
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:34,852
You know, one day, you're
a regular person, and the next day,
154
00:06:34,927 --> 00:06:36,952
you are the most famous woman
on the planet,
155
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:38,587
and only because of
who you're in love with.
156
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:41,223
Suddenly, that's all you are.
Somebody's...
157
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:44,601
I'm sorry.
158
00:06:44,704 --> 00:06:47,104
I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, it's just...
159
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:49,936
People get weird when they see me,
so I just...
160
00:06:50,042 --> 00:06:52,374
I was going to try and stay in there
until you left, but then
161
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:53,707
you started talking about me and I...
162
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:55,407
I thought you'd want to know I was in...
163
00:06:55,515 --> 00:06:58,177
I am so sorry, Your Royal Highness.
164
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:02,010
Why don't we give you some privacy?
165
00:07:04,891 --> 00:07:07,223
Oh. Wait a minute, you're Olivia Pope.
166
00:07:07,293 --> 00:07:09,625
You handled the press
for my engagement. I...
167
00:07:09,695 --> 00:07:12,129
I watched you on TV.
168
00:07:16,035 --> 00:07:19,266
My friend didn't really mean
anything by what she said...
169
00:07:19,372 --> 00:07:21,397
Oh, oh, I've gotten used to it.
170
00:07:22,041 --> 00:07:25,033
For most of the world,
I'm not a real person anymore.
171
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:27,909
I stopped being a real person for people
the moment the world found out
172
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:30,175
I was marrying Richard.
173
00:07:30,249 --> 00:07:31,648
To them, I'm...
174
00:07:31,751 --> 00:07:35,209
I'm not human, I'm just a spectacle.
175
00:07:36,823 --> 00:07:39,053
And I don't think they would say
half the things they say
176
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:41,093
if they knew they were
hurting an actual person,
177
00:07:42,061 --> 00:07:43,119
do you?
178
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:46,594
No. I don't think they would.
179
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:54,034
Well, you have a wonderful night.
180
00:08:02,615 --> 00:08:05,914
Apparently the Royal Family
needs more time.
181
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:08,078
They've already had six months of time.
182
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:10,349
- I don't know what else to do.
- They're in a bubble. A fishbowl.
183
00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:12,651
They can't afford to look like
they're taking orders from us.
184
00:08:12,758 --> 00:08:15,852
They need more time,
you give them more time.
185
00:08:15,962 --> 00:08:18,692
I'd give them another six months,
if I could spend it all in this bed.
186
00:08:18,764 --> 00:08:19,822
Mmm.
187
00:08:24,003 --> 00:08:26,904
- Mmm-mmm.
- Mmm-hmm. Yes.
188
00:08:32,612 --> 00:08:33,636
Olivia Pope.
189
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:37,374
Of course, I'll hold.
190
00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:39,542
Your Majesty.
191
00:08:40,052 --> 00:08:42,885
Good evening. What can I do for you?
192
00:08:59,505 --> 00:09:00,494
Move!
193
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,071
Everybody back! Back!
194
00:09:05,177 --> 00:09:06,906
That is not a suggestion, sir!
195
00:09:07,580 --> 00:09:09,013
Cover her body!
196
00:09:09,081 --> 00:09:11,311
Ma'am, I need you to step back! Ma'am!
197
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,478
Have some respect!
198
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,926
The Royal Family, along with
millions of people around the world,
199
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:25,224
are in shock tonight
200
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:27,595
after Crown Princess Emily
of Caledonia was killed...
201
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:31,329
No official statement has come
from the Royal Family, but sources say
202
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:34,601
they are devastated by the Princess'
sudden and tragic death.
203
00:09:34,707 --> 00:09:37,835
In the meantime, local and federal
investigators are working together
204
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,605
to determine the cause of the crash.
205
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:43,048
First of all, thank you for coming.
206
00:09:43,115 --> 00:09:45,049
The police have the best
of intentions, I'm sure,
207
00:09:45,117 --> 00:09:47,779
but I believe it's wise
to have someone on the ground
208
00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:49,752
representing our interests.
209
00:09:50,022 --> 00:09:51,785
You said there were photos taken.
210
00:09:51,891 --> 00:09:54,724
Yes. And I did my best to shield
the Princess from the cameras, but...
211
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:56,989
There are photos of her body?
212
00:09:57,063 --> 00:09:59,327
Your Royal Highness.
Allow me to express my deepest...
213
00:09:59,398 --> 00:10:00,422
Can we get them back?
214
00:10:00,866 --> 00:10:01,855
I'm sorry?
215
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:03,128
- The pictures.
- Richard, dear,
216
00:10:03,235 --> 00:10:04,930
I thought I told you to rest.
217
00:10:05,037 --> 00:10:06,265
I'm asking her a question, Mother.
218
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:14,339
We can try to get the photos
of your wife's body back,
219
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:15,573
but it's going to be difficult.
220
00:10:15,681 --> 00:10:16,739
But not impossible.
221
00:10:16,849 --> 00:10:18,544
- Richard...
- She was my wife.
222
00:10:19,218 --> 00:10:20,742
Mother, please.
223
00:10:23,756 --> 00:10:25,951
I know you can't save her life, Olivia,
224
00:10:26,058 --> 00:10:28,356
but perhaps you can save her dignity.
225
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,794
Google "fairy tale wedding,"
this is what you'll get.
226
00:10:31,897 --> 00:10:33,387
An American beauty swept off her feet
227
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,593
by the most desirable
bachelor on the planet.
228
00:10:35,701 --> 00:10:37,362
Married Prince Charming
three years ago.
229
00:10:37,436 --> 00:10:39,904
In front of 4,000 of her
closest family and friends.
230
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:41,769
Broadcast live in 38 countries.
231
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,865
What every little
princess-to-be dreams about.
232
00:10:43,943 --> 00:10:44,932
If you don't count the paparazzi.
233
00:10:45,044 --> 00:10:47,069
No matter where they went,
the cameras followed.
234
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:49,376
The public is obsessed.
Which is my point.
235
00:10:49,448 --> 00:10:51,609
Liv, everybody is gonna
want to see these photos.
236
00:10:51,717 --> 00:10:53,378
Every gruesome detail
of the Princess' death.
237
00:10:53,452 --> 00:10:56,478
Her dead body. In color. On film.
That's the holy grail.
238
00:10:56,589 --> 00:11:00,252
And we need every photo, every pixel,
every jpeg, gigabyte in our possession.
239
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:01,384
And we need it by morning.
240
00:11:01,460 --> 00:11:03,451
How the hell am I supposed to
talk sleazy paparazzi
241
00:11:03,562 --> 00:11:04,927
into handing over their photos?
242
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:07,090
- Appeal to their nobility?
- We have options.
243
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:18,569
Listen, all I'm saying is
your paper is better than this.
244
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:27,008
I know you have a story to cover.
But you also have a choice.
245
00:11:27,119 --> 00:11:29,986
You can choose to respect the dignity
of an icon the world is mourning...
246
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:34,083
How much?
247
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,957
No. Name your price, Gillian.
Any number.
248
00:11:36,028 --> 00:11:37,086
I don't care how high.
249
00:11:37,863 --> 00:11:39,023
Gillian! Gill...
250
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:42,958
She doesn't want money.
251
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:44,969
She's going to run the photos. Today.
252
00:11:45,037 --> 00:11:46,698
Well, they'll be the only ones.
253
00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:49,937
I was able to track down
all of the paparazzi.
254
00:11:50,009 --> 00:11:51,169
Except for one. This guy.
255
00:11:51,277 --> 00:11:52,869
But don't worry, I'll find him.
256
00:11:52,978 --> 00:11:54,468
If Gillian publishes the pictures,
257
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:56,139
then it won't matter
if you find him or not.
258
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:58,206
We can't fight
a blank front page.
259
00:12:00,686 --> 00:12:01,675
Oh.
260
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:07,020
We don't fight it. We help them fill it.
261
00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:13,126
No. I won't do it.
262
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:14,496
It's disgraceful.
263
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,798
Yes. It is. But it is less disgraceful
than the alternative.
264
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:20,668
And if there was another way...
But we are out of time here.
265
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:23,868
No. Enough.
Let them run those horrible pictures.
266
00:12:23,976 --> 00:12:25,136
Thank you for your efforts.
267
00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:26,872
- I'll do it.
- Richard.
268
00:12:28,481 --> 00:12:29,505
I'll do it.
269
00:12:31,183 --> 00:12:32,878
On behalf of the
United States government
270
00:12:32,985 --> 00:12:34,680
and the American people,
271
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:37,222
I extend our deepest condolences
272
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:39,587
to Prince Richard and the Royal Family,
273
00:12:40,392 --> 00:12:42,724
and to all those
who knew and loved her.
274
00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:47,388
They say that princesses
only exist in fairy tales,
275
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,661
but Princess Emily was real.
276
00:12:50,336 --> 00:12:51,997
She was beautiful
277
00:12:52,071 --> 00:12:54,369
and vibrant and compassionate.
278
00:12:56,242 --> 00:12:58,403
But even more than that,
she was one of us.
279
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:01,743
She was, and always will be,
280
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:04,177
America's Princess.
281
00:13:06,585 --> 00:13:08,246
In sharing the joys of her life,
282
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:10,788
she captured our imaginations
283
00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:11,948
and our hearts.
284
00:13:14,026 --> 00:13:16,358
And while we are grateful
285
00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:18,953
for the precious time we had with her,
286
00:13:19,064 --> 00:13:21,760
the truth is,
it was nowhere near enough.
287
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:27,272
You were here all night?
288
00:13:27,606 --> 00:13:29,699
Had to be. I'm a one-man band.
289
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:32,076
I could bring Huck in.
290
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:33,270
- Did he tell you what he did?
- No.
291
00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:35,438
Then he's too much of a coward
to come back to work.
292
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:37,277
To own what he did, who he is.
293
00:13:37,383 --> 00:13:38,543
What happened between you two?
294
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:40,084
Look, I've got this, Liv.
295
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:44,421
I am good. Eighteen photographers,
1,300 images, $2.4 million.
296
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:45,548
And I did it all by myself.
297
00:13:45,624 --> 00:13:46,955
Did you find the guy from the picture?
298
00:13:47,059 --> 00:13:50,222
I ran the photo by a few of the other
stalkerazzi. No luck.
299
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:51,490
I wouldn't worry about it.
300
00:13:51,597 --> 00:13:54,157
If he had photos, they'd be out there
on the cover of something by now.
301
00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:56,057
Get some sleep.
302
00:13:56,135 --> 00:13:57,159
I'm an idiot.
303
00:13:57,269 --> 00:14:00,238
Of course none of the other photogs
could identify this guy
304
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:02,900
because this guy isn't a photographer.
305
00:14:02,975 --> 00:14:05,967
I need your help with the investigation
into Princess Emily's death.
306
00:14:06,078 --> 00:14:07,477
See this photographer?
307
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:09,275
- Yes.
- He's not a photographer.
308
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:11,009
This confuses me.
He has a camera.
309
00:14:12,618 --> 00:14:14,279
That's not a camera.
310
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:16,514
And that's a
shortwave RF signal booster.
311
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:17,953
Don't make me ask, Quinn.
312
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:20,491
They're used to increase the power
and range of a Bluetooth connection.
313
00:14:20,593 --> 00:14:21,617
This man is a hacker.
314
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:23,161
We think he was posing
as a photographer
315
00:14:23,262 --> 00:14:25,992
in order to hack into the Princess' car
and cause the crash.
316
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,034
Cause-the-crash,
assassination cause-the-crash?
317
00:14:30,135 --> 00:14:31,966
It was a murder,
somebody wanted the Princess dead.
318
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:35,973
What's left of the car is with Interpol.
Computer included.
319
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:37,099
I don't have access to it.
320
00:14:37,176 --> 00:14:39,838
Princess Emily died on American soil.
321
00:14:39,945 --> 00:14:42,345
You are the Attorney General
of the United States.
322
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:43,779
There are limits to my power.
323
00:14:44,316 --> 00:14:46,113
I've seen what you can do
with your power, David.
324
00:14:46,785 --> 00:14:47,877
I'll see what I can do.
325
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,011
Thank you.
326
00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:54,450
Mrs. Grant?
327
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:07,202
I'm going to assume
that last night was a mistake.
328
00:15:07,306 --> 00:15:09,331
- Today, there will be no mistakes.
- Excuse me?
329
00:15:09,408 --> 00:15:12,309
You will assure me now
that he will be at the Capitol by my side
330
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:15,006
this afternoon when I take the oath
to become a United States Senator.
331
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,138
That's why I'm here.
332
00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:19,707
You will guarantee that the President
shows up for his wife.
333
00:15:19,818 --> 00:15:21,752
Because that is what is best.
334
00:15:21,854 --> 00:15:24,982
- I don't appreciate being summoned...
- You don't appreciate?
335
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:27,985
You don't appreciate being...
336
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,151
- You ungrateful little...
- Okay, this meeting is over.
337
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,218
Why?
338
00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:33,389
Why did you betray me
after everything I did for you?
339
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,427
I saved your life.
340
00:15:35,534 --> 00:15:37,729
I saved you and your child
from Olivia Pope's butcher.
341
00:15:37,836 --> 00:15:38,860
I took you in.
342
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,702
I brought your bones back
from the political graveyard
343
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,334
and performed voodoo
to make you somebody again.
344
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:48,272
And as payment,
you stab me in the back.
345
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:50,506
I want to know why.
346
00:15:51,717 --> 00:15:53,048
First, let's be clear.
347
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:55,313
You did not do anything for me.
You did that for you.
348
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:57,514
You only ever do anything
for your own benefit.
349
00:15:57,589 --> 00:16:00,149
Second, you didn't take me in.
350
00:16:00,225 --> 00:16:03,023
I was your prisoner. I was your puppet.
I was your bitch.
351
00:16:03,095 --> 00:16:04,995
Third, your payment
352
00:16:05,531 --> 00:16:06,725
was that I got you elected.
353
00:16:07,232 --> 00:16:09,223
You are sitting in that chair,
in this office,
354
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:11,030
a United States Senator,
355
00:16:11,103 --> 00:16:12,195
because of me.
356
00:16:12,271 --> 00:16:13,738
That is how I repaid you.
357
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:16,603
Fourth, one can only be betrayed
if there is loyalty first.
358
00:16:16,709 --> 00:16:18,006
I was never loyal to you
359
00:16:18,077 --> 00:16:19,408
and you were never loyal to me.
360
00:16:19,511 --> 00:16:20,739
I don't think you've
ever been loyal to anyone.
361
00:16:20,846 --> 00:16:24,373
So, when I made my move up the ladder
of political success all on my own,
362
00:16:24,783 --> 00:16:26,580
I wasn't even thinking about you.
363
00:16:26,685 --> 00:16:27,947
Because you don't matter to me.
364
00:16:28,053 --> 00:16:29,918
And now, you also don't matter to
365
00:16:30,022 --> 00:16:32,252
the most powerful man
on the face of the Earth.
366
00:16:32,558 --> 00:16:34,788
But guess who does? Me.
367
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:37,520
I'm his Chief of Staff.
368
00:16:38,564 --> 00:16:42,000
And so, believe me when I say, hmm,
369
00:16:42,067 --> 00:16:43,796
the President regrets to inform you
370
00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:47,429
that he is unable to attend
your little swearing-in today, Senator.
371
00:16:47,539 --> 00:16:49,131
He had better things to do.
372
00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:52,267
But best of luck in future endeavors.
373
00:16:58,117 --> 00:16:59,243
Some people are saying that the timing
374
00:16:59,318 --> 00:17:01,786
of the Royal Family's
tragic loss is certainly
375
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:05,118
a "convenient distraction" from what's
really going on in that White House.
376
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:08,091
And I just wanted to give you
an opportunity to comment.
377
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,991
Some people, Sally? Or just you?
378
00:17:10,629 --> 00:17:14,395
Cyrus Beene quits to, quote,
"spend more time with his family."
379
00:17:14,466 --> 00:17:16,491
And Mellie skips the State Dinner.
380
00:17:16,602 --> 00:17:18,968
Are you honestly suggesting
that we committed regicide
381
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:20,902
to distract America
from a flu and a life choice?
382
00:17:20,973 --> 00:17:22,304
I'm wondering whether the President
383
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:24,308
will be attending his wife,
Senator Grant's,
384
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:26,002
swearing-in ceremony today?
385
00:17:26,111 --> 00:17:29,911
I am wondering if the wool
is being pulled over America's eyes.
386
00:17:29,982 --> 00:17:32,678
Sally, there is no wool.
There is just the truth.
387
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:34,184
Try running with that, for once.
388
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:42,654
Charlotte, it's Abby.
389
00:17:42,761 --> 00:17:44,353
Please tell me
the President is confirmed
390
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:47,091
to attend the First Lady's
swearing-in ceremony.
391
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:50,294
- Go away.
- He's not going to the swearing-in.
392
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:52,098
I tried. He refuses to attend.
393
00:17:52,171 --> 00:17:53,638
I've got Sally Langston all over me.
394
00:17:53,705 --> 00:17:55,036
She's looking. And looking hard.
395
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:56,368
- He has to attend.
- He won't.
396
00:17:56,475 --> 00:17:57,499
He needs to attend.
397
00:17:58,010 --> 00:18:01,446
He's not going. Deal with it.
And don't mess it up.
398
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,664
I shouldn't be here.
399
00:18:29,741 --> 00:18:31,072
I thought we could have lunch together.
400
00:18:31,176 --> 00:18:33,144
Fitz, you can't summon me here
for lunch.
401
00:18:33,212 --> 00:18:34,236
Not now. Not when Abby
402
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:37,008
and a roomful of press
is right down the hall.
403
00:18:37,082 --> 00:18:38,140
I shouldn't be here.
404
00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:39,582
So that's a no?
405
00:18:43,822 --> 00:18:44,982
Where have you been?
406
00:18:45,057 --> 00:18:46,081
Working.
407
00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:47,852
For the Queen? How's she doing?
408
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,856
Mmm.
409
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:52,328
Are you asking as a concerned citizen
410
00:18:52,397 --> 00:18:55,230
or as a president worried
about his naval base?
411
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:57,359
As if I could be so cold.
412
00:19:00,672 --> 00:19:02,435
Don't you have
a swearing-in ceremony to get to?
413
00:19:02,541 --> 00:19:03,838
- What?
- Mellie.
414
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:06,104
Liz North and I decided I'm not going.
415
00:19:06,211 --> 00:19:07,200
What do you mean, you're not going?
416
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:08,303
- Liv...
- Don't "Liv" me.
417
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,371
It's a hugely public event.
418
00:19:10,449 --> 00:19:13,111
If you don't attend,
all it will do is raise questions.
419
00:19:13,218 --> 00:19:15,846
- And you owe her this.
- I owe her?
420
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:17,411
She's the junior senator from Virginia.
421
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:18,683
And she's a woman
422
00:19:18,757 --> 00:19:21,555
that everybody thinks of as
nothing more than your wife.
423
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:23,720
And she's looking for respect.
424
00:19:23,795 --> 00:19:25,126
How many times do you think
she's done this for you?
425
00:19:25,197 --> 00:19:27,563
Whether she wanted to or not?
426
00:19:33,906 --> 00:19:36,397
In the wake of Princess Emily's
tragic passing last night,
427
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:38,534
President Grant regrets that his duties
428
00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:41,443
will prevent him from attending
Senator Grant's swearing-in today.
429
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:43,579
Do you solemnly swear
to support and defend
430
00:19:43,649 --> 00:19:45,276
the Constitution of the United States
431
00:19:45,384 --> 00:19:46,942
against all enemies,
foreign and domestic?
432
00:19:47,052 --> 00:19:48,713
So, you're saying
the President is definitely
433
00:19:48,787 --> 00:19:50,220
not going to the First Lady's
swearing-in?
434
00:19:50,289 --> 00:19:51,756
Asked and answered, Carol.
435
00:19:51,823 --> 00:19:54,257
...that you take this obligation freely,
without any mental reservation
436
00:19:54,326 --> 00:19:55,350
or purpose of evasion.
437
00:19:55,427 --> 00:19:57,418
I want to be sure
that's your official statement.
438
00:19:57,496 --> 00:19:58,963
If you didn't catch it, you can always
439
00:19:59,064 --> 00:20:00,725
borrow someone else's
notes after class.
440
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:02,733
...and that you will well and faithfully
discharge the duties
441
00:20:02,801 --> 00:20:04,632
of the office on which
you are about to enter,
442
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:06,135
- so help you God?
- I do.
443
00:20:06,238 --> 00:20:08,069
I'm giving you a chance
to amend it, Abby.
444
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:09,266
And why would I want to do that?
445
00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:10,968
Because 20 reporters are live tweeting
446
00:20:11,076 --> 00:20:13,772
at the Capitol building,
where he is, in fact,
447
00:20:13,845 --> 00:20:15,608
attending his wife's swearing-in.
448
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:19,915
Congratulations,
Senator Grant.
449
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:22,853
We did it.
450
00:20:26,692 --> 00:20:28,421
I just wanted to thank you
for coming today.
451
00:20:28,493 --> 00:20:30,461
- Mellie...
- And I wanted to apologize.
452
00:20:30,529 --> 00:20:32,588
I would have done it sooner,
but I wanted to do it in person.
453
00:20:32,664 --> 00:20:34,461
I thought I'd have a chance
before the State Dinner,
454
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:36,967
especially with the Queen visiting
and the optics of that whole...
455
00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:40,096
But I understand that you needed
some space. Some time.
456
00:20:40,606 --> 00:20:41,937
But I'm glad you came around.
457
00:20:45,944 --> 00:20:48,139
I think about what I did every day.
458
00:20:48,213 --> 00:20:50,078
Those jurors...
459
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:55,213
What I did, uh... Those jurors... I...
460
00:20:57,456 --> 00:20:58,650
I will never forgive myself.
461
00:20:59,291 --> 00:21:01,020
And maybe you won't either.
462
00:21:01,126 --> 00:21:03,219
I guess we add it to the list
of awful things we've done.
463
00:21:03,328 --> 00:21:07,128
Things we spend
our future together trying to repent for.
464
00:21:07,566 --> 00:21:09,227
But I can face it
465
00:21:10,068 --> 00:21:11,126
because we'll be together.
466
00:21:11,703 --> 00:21:13,534
I know without a doubt
467
00:21:13,639 --> 00:21:15,539
that you and I together, a team,
468
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:17,199
is what's best.
469
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:19,507
For us. For the country.
470
00:21:19,578 --> 00:21:21,739
For our beautiful children.
471
00:21:22,881 --> 00:21:24,815
And I'm so glad you see it, too.
472
00:21:27,586 --> 00:21:29,178
I'm divorcing you.
473
00:21:40,332 --> 00:21:42,061
- I'll never sign.
- You will.
474
00:21:42,167 --> 00:21:44,761
You have so many qualities I despise.
475
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:46,895
But I do admire your brilliance.
476
00:21:47,005 --> 00:21:48,199
So, do the math, Mel.
477
00:21:48,273 --> 00:21:50,571
Fighting this, fighting me,
478
00:21:50,676 --> 00:21:53,702
will mean both of us deploy
every weapon in our arsenals.
479
00:21:53,779 --> 00:21:55,110
Every lie. Every secret.
480
00:21:55,447 --> 00:21:57,244
Every juror on that bus.
481
00:21:57,883 --> 00:21:59,908
Mutually assured destruction.
482
00:22:00,585 --> 00:22:01,609
We'll be ruined.
483
00:22:02,054 --> 00:22:04,682
Now, me, I'm a war hero, a governor,
484
00:22:04,756 --> 00:22:07,418
a two-term president,
my bucket list is done.
485
00:22:07,526 --> 00:22:09,016
You?
486
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:11,961
Your biggest accomplishment so far
is waving and smiling.
487
00:22:12,731 --> 00:22:15,928
It's your first day
pitching in the major leagues.
488
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:18,067
You'll sign.
489
00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:30,040
Why didn't I get a heads-up?
I just got destroyed out there.
490
00:22:31,717 --> 00:22:33,742
Look, I get it.
491
00:22:33,819 --> 00:22:35,650
I'm Cyrus' guy,
you want my head on a stick.
492
00:22:35,754 --> 00:22:37,619
But until you actually fire me,
493
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:39,088
I'd like to be able to do my job.
494
00:22:39,157 --> 00:22:41,455
And in order to do that,
I have to know things.
495
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,152
I don't play politics
with my employees, Abby.
496
00:22:43,261 --> 00:22:44,421
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
497
00:22:44,496 --> 00:22:47,056
Oh, so, the President's
Chief of Staff had no idea, none at all,
498
00:22:47,132 --> 00:22:48,997
that the President did a complete 180
499
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:51,262
and decided to attend
Mellie's swearing-in?
500
00:23:00,912 --> 00:23:03,540
You really didn't know.
501
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:09,449
Oh.
502
00:23:11,156 --> 00:23:12,350
Divorce papers?
503
00:23:13,258 --> 00:23:15,749
I thought you'd be happy.
504
00:23:16,661 --> 00:23:17,821
You don't look happy.
505
00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:19,624
No, I...
506
00:23:20,098 --> 00:23:21,326
I'm just surprised.
507
00:23:22,601 --> 00:23:24,466
I didn't know that you were even...
508
00:23:26,371 --> 00:23:27,429
Divorce?
509
00:23:27,506 --> 00:23:30,236
I have dragged you
into my marriage enough.
510
00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:32,037
You shouldn't have to deal with this.
511
00:23:32,144 --> 00:23:33,668
But we had a plan.
512
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:36,276
Optics. Your approval ratings, and I...
513
00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:37,781
Life is short.
514
00:23:37,849 --> 00:23:39,180
You saw what happened
to the Princess.
515
00:23:39,284 --> 00:23:41,844
One minute, she's living a charmed life,
the next, it's over.
516
00:23:41,953 --> 00:23:43,511
No warning.
517
00:23:43,622 --> 00:23:45,681
I don't want to wait.
518
00:23:46,858 --> 00:23:48,325
Okay?
519
00:23:52,063 --> 00:23:53,189
Okay.
520
00:23:54,232 --> 00:23:55,392
This is good.
521
00:23:56,802 --> 00:23:58,326
This is good.
522
00:24:20,025 --> 00:24:22,516
- David.
- The car's internal computer shows
523
00:24:22,594 --> 00:24:25,722
it was traveling at 55 miles per hour
at the time of the crash.
524
00:24:25,831 --> 00:24:27,321
Speeding, but nothing a passenger
525
00:24:27,399 --> 00:24:28,991
in the back seat wouldn't survive.
526
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:31,365
But if you measure the distance
between the surveillance cameras
527
00:24:31,436 --> 00:24:32,767
as the car approached the tunnel?
528
00:24:32,871 --> 00:24:34,270
It was going more like 120.
529
00:24:34,372 --> 00:24:36,704
- So...
- So, we are definitely talking about
530
00:24:36,775 --> 00:24:39,175
a caused-the-crash,
assassination caused-the-crash.
531
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:43,270
I can't believe someone
would want to murder this girl.
532
00:24:43,348 --> 00:24:45,612
She looks happy and perfect.
533
00:24:45,717 --> 00:24:47,617
They are just a bunch of photos,
I guess.
534
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:50,244
Where was the Prince when Emily
was opening this hospital in Hibernia?
535
00:24:51,056 --> 00:24:52,683
He was on a navy carrier
in the Black Sea.
536
00:24:52,757 --> 00:24:55,692
And when he was vacationing
in the French Riviera?
537
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,392
Um, she was touring
a school for girls in Shanghai.
538
00:24:58,463 --> 00:25:00,693
They weren't spending
much time together.
539
00:25:00,765 --> 00:25:02,630
Doesn't look like it. I mean...
540
00:25:02,734 --> 00:25:04,725
It seems like the only person
she spent any real time with
541
00:25:04,803 --> 00:25:06,134
was her bodyguard.
542
00:25:10,775 --> 00:25:12,140
Who died in the car with her.
543
00:25:15,413 --> 00:25:17,244
What if there wasn't any
happily ever after?
544
00:25:17,315 --> 00:25:19,306
What if it was all a lie?
545
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:22,480
The Princess was having an affair
with her bodyguard.
546
00:25:22,587 --> 00:25:24,646
I don't think the Prince
was happy about that.
547
00:25:24,756 --> 00:25:27,748
That doesn't mean the Prince
hired someone to murder his wife.
548
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:29,555
Even if he did, it's not like
we can prosecute him, right?
549
00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:32,256
Prince Richard is protected
by diplomatic immunity,
550
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:34,389
so, no, technically,
we wouldn't be able to press charges.
551
00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:36,593
That said, there have been instances
552
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:39,000
where we've convinced a suspect's
native country to waive immunity.
553
00:25:39,070 --> 00:25:40,059
So it's possible.
554
00:25:40,138 --> 00:25:41,332
Yes, but in this case,
that would mean
555
00:25:41,439 --> 00:25:43,339
convincing the Queen
to waive immunity,
556
00:25:43,441 --> 00:25:44,669
and with her being
the Prince's mother and all...
557
00:25:44,776 --> 00:25:46,607
It's possible, Mr. President.
558
00:25:46,945 --> 00:25:48,674
Possible to hold accountable
559
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:52,147
the person responsible for killing
an American on American soil.
560
00:25:52,250 --> 00:25:54,912
Before they leave the country.
While we still have a chance.
561
00:25:54,986 --> 00:25:56,886
No. Liz is right.
562
00:25:57,589 --> 00:25:59,079
The rules of diplomatic immunity...
563
00:25:59,157 --> 00:26:02,126
I could have...
I should have gone to my clients
564
00:26:02,193 --> 00:26:04,024
with this information first.
565
00:26:04,129 --> 00:26:06,120
I'm only here out of courtesy
566
00:26:06,631 --> 00:26:07,996
and out of a terribly misguided belief
567
00:26:08,099 --> 00:26:11,796
that someone in this office might be
interested in doing the right thing.
568
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:28,612
It's the naval base, isn't it?
569
00:26:28,687 --> 00:26:29,779
You want your naval base.
570
00:26:29,854 --> 00:26:32,982
That's more important
than the murder of innocent people...
571
00:26:33,058 --> 00:26:35,993
I can't accuse the Crown Prince
of Caledonia of murder.
572
00:26:36,061 --> 00:26:37,722
You can, you just don't want to.
573
00:26:37,796 --> 00:26:39,161
Those naval bases...
574
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:40,959
Don't talk to me
about naval bases!
575
00:26:41,032 --> 00:26:43,660
...are strategically valuable,
and I can't just ignore that!
576
00:26:43,735 --> 00:26:44,963
I'm running a country here.
577
00:26:45,837 --> 00:26:47,737
Sometimes you and I
are gonna have different priorities.
578
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:48,863
Clearly.
579
00:26:53,044 --> 00:26:55,569
The good news is I don't work for you.
580
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,581
If you go to the Queen
with your speculation, with your gut,
581
00:26:58,683 --> 00:27:02,141
you will be gravely endangering
the national security of this country.
582
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:04,586
And you will be prosecuted.
583
00:27:21,539 --> 00:27:22,836
Are you back?
584
00:27:26,211 --> 00:27:28,441
- Huck?
- Are you sleeping here? Are you back?
585
00:27:28,546 --> 00:27:30,173
I live here.
586
00:27:30,248 --> 00:27:32,512
Did something happen with him?
587
00:27:33,218 --> 00:27:35,550
I'm just tired.
I want to sleep in my own bed.
588
00:27:35,620 --> 00:27:37,554
Is he hurting you?
589
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:39,857
On the inside?
590
00:27:42,394 --> 00:27:45,295
I'm fine.
You don't worry about me, okay?
591
00:27:57,275 --> 00:27:58,572
Huck?
592
00:28:00,945 --> 00:28:04,540
Did Quinn hurt you on the inside?
593
00:28:06,785 --> 00:28:07,809
Yes.
594
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:10,413
- Huck...
- But I hurt her, too.
595
00:28:11,122 --> 00:28:12,589
We hurt each other.
596
00:28:12,957 --> 00:28:15,892
But I didn't try to kill her.
597
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,689
You should talk to her.
598
00:28:17,996 --> 00:28:21,523
I opened a window today.
599
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,034
Fresh air. Vitamin D.
600
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,604
- I'll be fine.
- Is this your plan?
601
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:31,338
To stay on this sofa
and maybe open a window? Because...
602
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:32,467
You're home now.
603
00:28:33,211 --> 00:28:34,303
Me?
604
00:28:36,715 --> 00:28:39,775
Have you been waiting for me
to come home?
605
00:28:39,851 --> 00:28:41,478
I'm your plan?
606
00:28:42,153 --> 00:28:43,950
You always fix me.
607
00:28:44,689 --> 00:28:49,353
I don't know what happened
or how it happened or when, or...
608
00:28:50,562 --> 00:28:51,790
But you need to do what you do.
609
00:28:52,864 --> 00:28:55,128
Because I want to see
Kim and Javi, and I can't.
610
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,664
I can't go home.
611
00:28:57,736 --> 00:28:59,226
Not like this.
612
00:28:59,838 --> 00:29:01,635
Not while I want to...
613
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:05,869
My guy is out, Liv.
614
00:29:05,977 --> 00:29:07,877
My guy is out.
615
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:09,538
He's running around,
616
00:29:09,647 --> 00:29:15,483
and I can't go home
until you fix me.
617
00:29:17,856 --> 00:29:19,983
What do you mean, your guy?
618
00:29:21,993 --> 00:29:23,551
- Please.
- Huck.
619
00:29:24,662 --> 00:29:27,392
I want to help you, I do.
620
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:30,228
But...
621
00:29:30,335 --> 00:29:32,098
I can't fix you.
622
00:29:32,203 --> 00:29:34,763
I don't fix people.
623
00:29:34,873 --> 00:29:36,670
Not like that. Not on the inside.
624
00:29:36,741 --> 00:29:38,402
If I could fix people on the inside,
625
00:29:38,510 --> 00:29:40,501
I'd be running a bake sale
in Ohio right now.
626
00:29:40,578 --> 00:29:42,045
I wouldn't be...
627
00:29:44,215 --> 00:29:47,184
I don't know how to fix you.
628
00:29:48,253 --> 00:29:50,187
I wish I did. I wish I had some...
629
00:29:52,557 --> 00:29:54,218
I don't know anything. I'm sorry.
630
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:56,260
But you need a new plan. A better plan.
631
00:29:56,361 --> 00:29:59,922
A much better plan than me.
632
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,879
She didn't waste any time, did she?
633
00:30:16,948 --> 00:30:17,972
I'm sorry?
634
00:30:18,049 --> 00:30:19,243
Olivia Pope is in the White House.
635
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:20,716
Which means
she's in the President's bed.
636
00:30:20,785 --> 00:30:22,878
Which means she's up in our business.
637
00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:27,988
Go ahead, play dumb.
Protect your friend.
638
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,961
I just witnessed a lovers' quarrel
in the Oval Office.
639
00:30:31,062 --> 00:30:33,394
And keeping a secret like that
640
00:30:33,464 --> 00:30:35,056
is not gonna work for me.
641
00:30:38,570 --> 00:30:41,061
Honestly, I had no idea.
642
00:30:45,910 --> 00:30:47,002
Well, now you do.
643
00:30:47,812 --> 00:30:49,677
And if you want to know
who's been undermining you
644
00:30:49,781 --> 00:30:51,442
out there at that podium,
645
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:54,417
I think we've just
figured that out as well.
646
00:31:15,106 --> 00:31:16,698
You need to go
straight to the White House
647
00:31:16,808 --> 00:31:18,833
and do whatever it is that
you have to do to get your job back
648
00:31:18,943 --> 00:31:20,205
and talk some sense into him.
649
00:31:20,311 --> 00:31:23,007
Because if he goes through with this,
If he divorces me,
650
00:31:23,114 --> 00:31:24,775
then we are all finished.
651
00:31:24,849 --> 00:31:26,316
You, me and him.
652
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:28,852
And it doesn't have to be that way.
653
00:31:28,953 --> 00:31:31,012
We could have
eight more years together.
654
00:31:31,122 --> 00:31:34,285
If Fitz and I stay married.
And with you running my campaign...
655
00:31:36,828 --> 00:31:37,817
No.
656
00:31:39,197 --> 00:31:40,960
- No?
- No.
657
00:31:41,032 --> 00:31:42,897
I'm not helping you anymore.
658
00:31:48,806 --> 00:31:49,795
Why?
659
00:31:56,681 --> 00:31:57,909
Because if he asks you to come back,
660
00:31:58,016 --> 00:31:59,847
you don't want to be
associated with me.
661
00:32:01,653 --> 00:32:04,144
You think he's going to
ask you to come back, Cy?
662
00:32:05,089 --> 00:32:06,522
He doesn't want you, Cy.
663
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:09,320
He doesn't...
664
00:32:10,161 --> 00:32:11,321
Want you
665
00:32:13,398 --> 00:32:15,525
any more than he wants me.
666
00:32:24,342 --> 00:32:25,900
He hates us.
667
00:32:55,073 --> 00:32:56,631
- I'm not here.
- You're not?
668
00:32:56,741 --> 00:32:59,801
I'm a figment of your imagination.
So is this autopsy report.
669
00:32:59,911 --> 00:33:02,641
They're burying this, Liv.
Putting her body on a plane tonight.
670
00:33:02,747 --> 00:33:03,907
And tomorrow morning,
I tell the world
671
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:06,644
the accident was
entirely due to driver error.
672
00:33:06,751 --> 00:33:09,276
I don't know if this had anything to do
with why she died,
673
00:33:09,387 --> 00:33:11,787
but I do know those royal goons
don't want it coming out.
674
00:33:11,889 --> 00:33:13,220
But if it's dangerous
for you to leak this...
675
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:14,383
Come on, you know me.
676
00:33:14,459 --> 00:33:16,290
Truth, justice, the American way.
677
00:33:16,394 --> 00:33:18,259
Also, I put you in CIA jail.
678
00:33:26,637 --> 00:33:28,229
The Princess was pregnant.
679
00:33:32,276 --> 00:33:34,506
I know you adore Prince Richard,
680
00:33:34,612 --> 00:33:36,978
but I believe that he had his wife killed.
681
00:33:37,081 --> 00:33:39,413
That's why he asked me
to recover those photos.
682
00:33:39,484 --> 00:33:41,816
Not to protect the Princess' dignity,
683
00:33:41,919 --> 00:33:45,320
but to hide the fact that she was
riding in that car with her lover.
684
00:33:45,690 --> 00:33:49,456
Which would give the police motive
and implicate the Prince in her murder.
685
00:33:52,764 --> 00:33:55,824
I'm sorry to have to burden you with this
after everything you've been through.
686
00:33:55,933 --> 00:33:57,958
No, no... I'm grateful you did.
687
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:00,095
Have you spoken
with the Prince about this?
688
00:34:00,171 --> 00:34:01,433
- Not yet.
- Good.
689
00:34:01,506 --> 00:34:03,371
You mustn't. Not a word.
690
00:34:03,474 --> 00:34:06,272
And I trust I may continue
to rely on your discretion?
691
00:34:07,645 --> 00:34:09,010
Of course.
692
00:34:10,148 --> 00:34:12,173
But, Your Majesty,
if there is an investigation...
693
00:34:12,283 --> 00:34:14,012
There will be no investigation.
694
00:34:18,156 --> 00:34:20,716
My son is innocent, Olivia.
695
00:34:22,326 --> 00:34:24,021
He loved that girl.
696
00:34:24,128 --> 00:34:25,720
Worshipped her.
697
00:34:25,830 --> 00:34:27,161
Blindly.
698
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:30,700
She could do no wrong
where he was concerned.
699
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:34,736
And I certainly couldn't tell him
what she really was.
700
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:38,402
You knew she was pregnant.
701
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:41,473
She could've given birth to a child
702
00:34:41,546 --> 00:34:44,208
who looked exactly like
that bodyguard of hers,
703
00:34:44,715 --> 00:34:47,513
and my son still wouldn't have seen it.
704
00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:48,916
She had one job.
705
00:34:50,321 --> 00:34:52,881
To give us an heir and a spare.
706
00:34:52,990 --> 00:34:55,686
And at that single job, she failed.
707
00:34:56,027 --> 00:34:59,690
You had her killed
because it wasn't your grandchild?
708
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:01,857
A tragic loss of life...
709
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:04,231
...but far less tragic
than handing the crown
710
00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:06,235
to one who is not its rightful heir.
711
00:35:06,337 --> 00:35:07,964
And that is where we disagree.
712
00:35:08,706 --> 00:35:10,173
I haven't dismissed you.
Where are you going?
713
00:35:10,241 --> 00:35:11,765
To get justice.
714
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:14,073
I am justice.
715
00:35:14,712 --> 00:35:16,737
This is a private matter, Olivia,
716
00:35:17,248 --> 00:35:19,113
protected by diplomatic immunity.
717
00:35:19,584 --> 00:35:22,280
And by the non-disclosure agreement
you signed
718
00:35:22,386 --> 00:35:23,785
when you entered my employ.
719
00:35:23,888 --> 00:35:26,789
Guaranteeing that
the monarchy of Caledonia
720
00:35:26,891 --> 00:35:29,086
will continue, as it has,
721
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:31,553
for millennia to come.
722
00:35:32,563 --> 00:35:33,723
As it must.
723
00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:39,568
Oh, not all fairy tales
have happy endings, my dear.
724
00:35:41,939 --> 00:35:43,201
Now you may go.
725
00:35:55,219 --> 00:35:56,379
Huck?
726
00:36:45,970 --> 00:36:47,335
What is she doing here?
727
00:36:48,406 --> 00:36:49,634
You hired her.
728
00:36:50,341 --> 00:36:52,901
The same way you hired the man
who murdered my wife.
729
00:36:54,312 --> 00:36:56,473
Olivia's non-disclosure agreement
didn't apply to me.
730
00:36:56,914 --> 00:36:59,508
So, when we get home,
you're going to abdicate.
731
00:36:59,584 --> 00:37:01,882
Because of health reasons.
Because of age.
732
00:37:01,986 --> 00:37:03,817
Because you're no longer fit to rule.
733
00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:06,049
You'll allow your son
to accede to the throne
734
00:37:06,157 --> 00:37:09,058
and live out the rest of your days
at the Winter Palace.
735
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,252
Alone.
736
00:37:10,661 --> 00:37:13,095
Because the next time I see you...
737
00:37:13,197 --> 00:37:16,257
The next time I will be able to
even tolerate the sight of you,
738
00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:18,533
will be at your funeral.
739
00:37:18,603 --> 00:37:20,230
- Richard, please...
- If you oppose me,
740
00:37:20,338 --> 00:37:22,363
if you speak out in any way,
741
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,408
Olivia Pope may not be able
to tell the world what you've done,
742
00:37:24,508 --> 00:37:25,668
but I won't hesitate.
743
00:37:30,348 --> 00:37:32,009
Ready...
744
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:38,752
You were right.
745
00:37:38,856 --> 00:37:40,517
Not all fairy tales have happy endings.
746
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:42,923
But evil queens?
747
00:37:43,527 --> 00:37:45,427
They tend to go down.
748
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:05,647
I need you to help me.
749
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,280
Come in.
750
00:38:28,739 --> 00:38:31,230
I just got off the phone
with half the Navy.
751
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:33,777
Turns out Prince Richard
is succeeding the Queen,
752
00:38:33,844 --> 00:38:34,902
effective immediately.
753
00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:38,841
And since he's even more
impenetrable than his mother,
754
00:38:38,949 --> 00:38:40,576
our naval base is dead in the water.
755
00:38:40,918 --> 00:38:43,352
I'm sorry you had a bad day at work.
756
00:38:44,322 --> 00:38:45,584
I had a good one.
757
00:38:45,923 --> 00:38:47,982
Why are you working so hard
to pick a fight with me?
758
00:38:48,092 --> 00:38:50,185
I'm not.
I'm just making clear my boundaries.
759
00:38:50,294 --> 00:38:51,955
Work is a boundary.
760
00:38:52,029 --> 00:38:54,623
If you have a problem with that,
then I can't help you. That's reality.
761
00:38:58,336 --> 00:38:59,530
What?
762
00:38:59,637 --> 00:39:01,036
You want to talk about reality?
763
00:39:01,806 --> 00:39:04,331
The reality is
I handed Mellie divorce papers.
764
00:39:04,442 --> 00:39:05,431
This has nothing to do...
765
00:39:05,509 --> 00:39:07,306
You and I are now free to go out there,
766
00:39:07,445 --> 00:39:09,709
in front of the world, arm-in-arm.
767
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:12,613
I put our plan in motion and now
you seem to have changed your mind.
768
00:39:12,683 --> 00:39:15,117
- I haven't changed my mind.
- Then what is this?
769
00:39:15,186 --> 00:39:16,551
You aren't thinking.
770
00:39:16,654 --> 00:39:18,679
Do you honestly believe
this is the answer?
771
00:39:18,789 --> 00:39:20,518
Divorce papers? Going public?
772
00:39:20,624 --> 00:39:22,023
Yes, I do!
773
00:39:22,126 --> 00:39:24,686
We put this out into the light.
774
00:39:24,795 --> 00:39:25,819
We make this real.
775
00:39:25,896 --> 00:39:27,158
How can we possibly do that?
776
00:39:27,698 --> 00:39:30,064
The minute the world
finds out about us,
777
00:39:30,167 --> 00:39:34,126
we stop being you and me
and we become a spectacle.
778
00:39:34,705 --> 00:39:36,263
All that scrutiny,
779
00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:38,774
a billion eyes on us,
we wouldn't have a chance.
780
00:39:38,843 --> 00:39:40,003
How can we make it work in public
781
00:39:40,077 --> 00:39:41,635
when we can barely
make it work in private?
782
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,704
It's not a solution, Fitz.
It's just another complication.
783
00:39:44,815 --> 00:39:46,976
So tell me how we do this.
784
00:39:53,858 --> 00:39:55,325
I want you.
785
00:39:56,694 --> 00:39:58,184
I want us.
786
00:39:59,497 --> 00:40:00,987
But I want to slow down.
787
00:40:01,565 --> 00:40:03,897
I want our business handled.
788
00:40:03,968 --> 00:40:06,801
I want our problems fixed.
789
00:40:06,871 --> 00:40:08,338
I want to be ready.
790
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:09,737
Before the world is watching.
791
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,432
Because once it is,
792
00:40:11,509 --> 00:40:14,444
once we're in that spotlight,
being picked at,
793
00:40:14,512 --> 00:40:17,743
and scrubbed and stretched
in every direction,
794
00:40:17,848 --> 00:40:19,679
we will never get the chance
to make things right.
795
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:24,016
If we are broken going in,
we're not getting out.
796
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:25,521
Not together.
797
00:40:25,589 --> 00:40:27,420
They will destroy us.
798
00:40:27,525 --> 00:40:29,686
That's reality, Fitz.
799
00:40:45,876 --> 00:40:46,900
Okay.
800
00:40:53,384 --> 00:40:54,476
We wait.
801
00:41:00,057 --> 00:41:01,285
Until we're ready.
802
00:41:13,904 --> 00:41:16,429
Sir, there's something you need to see.
803
00:41:22,346 --> 00:41:23,904
Lovers of liberty.
804
00:41:23,981 --> 00:41:25,414
The end of a fairy tale.
805
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:28,350
Something is rotten
within the walls of our White House.
806
00:41:28,452 --> 00:41:32,081
Sources tell me that any marriage
with the First Lady of the United States,
807
00:41:32,156 --> 00:41:34,181
newly minted Senator Mellie Grant,
808
00:41:34,291 --> 00:41:35,952
is a charade.
809
00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:39,160
I'm told she was not, in fact,
too ill to attend the State Dinner
810
00:41:39,263 --> 00:41:43,632
as we, the good, taxpaying citizens
of this nation had been told.
811
00:41:43,701 --> 00:41:47,694
I have it on good authority
that trusted "adviser," Olivia Pope,
812
00:41:47,805 --> 00:41:51,206
has found her way
into the President's bed.
813
00:41:51,308 --> 00:41:53,936
Before the high-minded
liberal feminist elite media
814
00:41:54,011 --> 00:41:55,638
begins howling charges of slander,
815
00:41:55,713 --> 00:41:58,944
these are not merely rumors,
these are facts.
816
00:41:59,617 --> 00:42:01,312
Photos of Ms. Pope
817
00:42:01,385 --> 00:42:04,013
lurking in the Residence
of the White House after hours.
818
00:42:09,393 --> 00:42:10,451
Lovers of liberty,
819
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:13,292
the time has come for this
godless, immoral administration
820
00:42:13,364 --> 00:42:15,525
to answer for its crimes.
821
00:42:15,633 --> 00:42:17,965
Yes. America's truth-seeking
freedom missiles
822
00:42:18,035 --> 00:42:19,696
are squarely locked on their target...
823
00:42:19,803 --> 00:42:21,566
You, Mr. President.
824
00:42:21,672 --> 00:42:23,799
I see you, sir.
825
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
