1
00:00:00,701 --> 00:00:03,469
I am done. I am done defending you, Huck.
2
00:00:03,471 --> 00:00:05,070
The best thing I could do
for you is to shoot you.
3
00:00:05,072 --> 00:00:06,505
Please, Quinn. do it.
4
00:00:06,507 --> 00:00:08,040
Last season on "Scandal"...
5
00:00:08,042 --> 00:00:10,109
your new junior senator!
6
00:00:10,111 --> 00:00:12,378
There was a donor to Mrs. Grant's campaign.
7
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:13,612
What did he ask her to do?
8
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:15,280
I need you to get me a list.
9
00:00:15,282 --> 00:00:19,418
Pack your bags and get out of my house!
10
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:22,021
Cyrus, you arrested Olivia.
11
00:00:22,023 --> 00:00:23,689
You worked with the man who killed my son.
12
00:00:23,691 --> 00:00:25,357
You're fired.
13
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:27,226
I am in love with you.
14
00:00:27,228 --> 00:00:28,560
But you... are in love with him.
15
00:00:28,562 --> 00:00:30,195
Hi.
16
00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:31,697
Hi.
17
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:38,704
Lovers of liberty, good evening.
18
00:00:38,706 --> 00:00:40,339
Tonight, I come to you
19
00:00:40,341 --> 00:00:43,509
filled with the righteous
indignation of a true American.
20
00:00:43,511 --> 00:00:47,279
Tonight, my flag waves
and my patriotic fires burn,
21
00:00:47,281 --> 00:00:49,281
because tonight, over in the White House,
22
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:52,317
the man who calls himself our
President is throwing a party.
23
00:00:52,319 --> 00:00:55,054
He's making a mockery of what
our fine nation stands for.
24
00:00:55,056 --> 00:00:57,222
He has betrayed honor and virtue.
25
00:00:57,224 --> 00:01:00,225
And tonight, he celebrates that betrayal.
26
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:02,494
Tonight, he bathes in his filthy glory.
27
00:01:02,496 --> 00:01:04,696
Tonight, he has the audacity to ask us...
28
00:01:04,698 --> 00:01:06,799
patriots, Americans...
29
00:01:06,801 --> 00:01:09,535
to join him in his jubilation,
30
00:01:09,537 --> 00:01:13,272
to skip with him down the road
to Sodom and Gomorrah.
31
00:01:13,274 --> 00:01:15,808
And all the while, he holds our hands
32
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:18,077
and tells us fairy tales...
33
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,647
a young woman, a commoner,
an all-American girl,
34
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:24,216
who falls in love with the
golden son who would be king?
35
00:01:24,218 --> 00:01:25,084
Really?
36
00:01:25,086 --> 00:01:26,318
It's a story.
37
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:28,754
And not a very original one, at that.
38
00:01:32,259 --> 00:01:33,259
Hi.
39
00:01:34,662 --> 00:01:36,662
Hi.
40
00:01:36,664 --> 00:01:38,330
And even if it is true,
41
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:39,865
even if it is the single greatest
42
00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:41,700
true love story of all time,
43
00:01:41,702 --> 00:01:43,135
are we supposed to care?
44
00:01:43,137 --> 00:01:44,703
Am I supposed to swoon?
45
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:46,438
Do not hold your breath.
46
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,842
The amount of money spent
on this party is atrocious.
47
00:01:49,844 --> 00:01:53,378
Your hard-earned tax dollars
needlessly and lavishly spent
48
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:55,414
on a five-course meal with...
what did I read?...
49
00:01:55,416 --> 00:01:58,484
two, no, three kinds of wine plus champagne.
50
00:02:01,388 --> 00:02:02,388
Wow.
51
00:02:03,524 --> 00:02:05,190
Thank you.
52
00:02:05,192 --> 00:02:06,158
No. okay.
53
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,726
Be careful.
54
00:02:07,728 --> 00:02:09,695
This dress is couture.
55
00:02:09,697 --> 00:02:12,131
I need it to stay perfect.
56
00:02:12,133 --> 00:02:14,366
Then take it off.
57
00:02:15,736 --> 00:02:18,170
And what is it all for, liberty lovers?
58
00:02:18,172 --> 00:02:19,671
Why, it is for our very own
59
00:02:19,673 --> 00:02:21,874
American princess and her prince charming!
60
00:02:21,876 --> 00:02:23,475
Ha!
61
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:25,277
That's what the White House
would like you to think.
62
00:02:25,279 --> 00:02:27,713
But isn't it more likely that
the President is simply using
63
00:02:27,715 --> 00:02:29,414
our own princess Emily,
64
00:02:29,416 --> 00:02:31,216
her humble Iowa roots,
65
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,585
her sure-footed midwestern values?
66
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:36,688
Using her marriage to
prince Richard to justify
67
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:39,191
throwing this overpriced
White House state dinner
68
00:02:39,193 --> 00:02:40,926
for the nation of Caledonia?
69
00:02:40,928 --> 00:02:43,695
Isn't it possible that the goal is really
70
00:02:43,697 --> 00:02:45,797
to butter up princess Emily's mother-in-law,
71
00:02:45,799 --> 00:02:47,900
her majesty, Queen Isabel?
72
00:02:47,902 --> 00:02:49,935
Isn't it possible that the President
73
00:02:49,937 --> 00:02:52,171
and his band of west wing hippies
74
00:02:52,173 --> 00:02:53,272
are trying to convince the queen
75
00:02:53,274 --> 00:02:55,474
to allow the U.S. military to build
76
00:02:55,476 --> 00:03:00,412
an unnecessary and wasteful
naval base on Caledonian soil?
77
00:03:00,414 --> 00:03:02,181
Okay.
78
00:03:04,652 --> 00:03:07,519
See you on the flip side?
79
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:09,454
We could just walk in together.
80
00:03:09,456 --> 00:03:12,457
Yes, let's start an international incident.
81
00:03:12,459 --> 00:03:13,892
Let's.
82
00:03:15,629 --> 00:03:18,497
Goodbye, mister.
83
00:03:22,436 --> 00:03:23,969
Last chance.
84
00:03:23,971 --> 00:03:27,406
Oh, Mr. President, I see you, sir,
85
00:03:27,408 --> 00:03:28,807
and I ask you this...
86
00:03:28,809 --> 00:03:31,376
what other tricks
do you have up your sleeve?
87
00:03:31,378 --> 00:03:34,613
What other secrets are you hiding?
88
00:03:34,615 --> 00:03:36,348
To new beginnings!
89
00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:37,583
To new beginnings.
90
00:03:56,337 --> 00:03:59,271
It seems poor Mellie Grant
seems to have come down with...
91
00:03:59,273 --> 00:04:01,873
and I quote... "a terrible flu."
92
00:04:01,875 --> 00:04:03,342
isn't that interesting?
93
00:04:03,344 --> 00:04:04,977
Our vaccination-touting First Lady
94
00:04:04,979 --> 00:04:06,745
didn't get her flu shot?
95
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:09,248
She's due to be sworn in to the
United States senate tomorrow.
96
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:10,949
Will be she be too sick
to attend that, as well?
97
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:12,651
I am not ill!
98
00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:14,353
The First Lady is not ill.
99
00:04:14,355 --> 00:04:16,688
The First Lady is ill.
Do you know how I know?
100
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:20,525
Because I stood at the podium
in the press room 38 minutes ago
101
00:04:20,527 --> 00:04:22,961
and told the press that
the first lady has the flu.
102
00:04:22,963 --> 00:04:24,496
They can't have a state dinner
103
00:04:24,497 --> 00:04:26,030
without the First Lady of the United States.
104
00:04:26,033 --> 00:04:28,600
You can't have a state dinner
without the First Lady.
105
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:29,968
Apparently, we can.
106
00:04:29,970 --> 00:04:31,303
Who will sit next to the President?
107
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:32,504
Who will sit next to the President?
108
00:04:32,506 --> 00:04:34,439
Rachel, muzzle your beast.
109
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:35,974
We have a plan.
110
00:04:35,976 --> 00:04:38,977
So...
111
00:04:38,979 --> 00:04:41,013
you've been queen a long time.
112
00:04:41,015 --> 00:04:43,382
Oh, yes.
113
00:04:43,384 --> 00:04:46,018
And we were very interested
114
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:48,854
to hear about your rapid rise
to the vice presidency.
115
00:04:48,856 --> 00:04:50,889
Oh, it was fast, wasn't it?
116
00:04:57,298 --> 00:05:00,832
A nice charade, but I
don't think anyone's buying it.
117
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:03,302
What? Mellie, the flu.
118
00:05:03,304 --> 00:05:04,736
I could have done better
if he gave me some notice.
119
00:05:04,738 --> 00:05:06,438
I had no notice.
120
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,041
How long did it take for him to call you?
121
00:05:09,043 --> 00:05:11,476
Who?
122
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:13,345
Oh. he didn't call.
123
00:05:13,347 --> 00:05:15,947
The President didn't call you
the minute he kicked Mellie out?
124
00:05:15,949 --> 00:05:18,083
No.
125
00:05:18,085 --> 00:05:20,369
I wanted to thank you, your majesty,
126
00:05:20,370 --> 00:05:22,654
for your continued participation
in these naval-base discussions.
127
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:24,656
I know it's been a long road,
128
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:27,392
but I'm looking forward to
finally reaching an agreement.
129
00:05:27,394 --> 00:05:29,961
Your support would mean the world to us.
130
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:32,564
And if you need anything from me
to move this all along...
131
00:05:32,566 --> 00:05:33,498
anything at all...
132
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,334
time.
133
00:05:35,336 --> 00:05:36,735
Excuse me, your majesty?
134
00:05:36,737 --> 00:05:39,805
Time would be what I require, Mr. President.
135
00:05:39,807 --> 00:05:41,073
I know, of course,
136
00:05:41,075 --> 00:05:43,108
that my support would mean the world to you.
137
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:45,811
I need to decide what, if anything,
138
00:05:45,813 --> 00:05:47,846
your military base would mean to me.
139
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:49,481
Of course.
140
00:05:49,483 --> 00:05:51,083
Absolutely, your majesty.
141
00:05:51,085 --> 00:05:53,452
I do appreciate your patience.
142
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:57,022
He really didn't call you?
143
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:58,824
He didn't call.
144
00:05:58,826 --> 00:06:00,325
- He didn't call?
- Abby, he didn't call,
145
00:06:00,327 --> 00:06:01,727
because we don't have anything
to talk about.
146
00:06:01,729 --> 00:06:02,661
Why would we?
147
00:06:02,663 --> 00:06:04,963
That's over.
148
00:06:04,965 --> 00:06:06,565
I'm off my game.
149
00:06:06,567 --> 00:06:07,866
Without Cyrus there, I'm telling you,
150
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:09,434
everything is all weird now.
151
00:06:09,436 --> 00:06:10,736
Before, I was in the middle of it.
152
00:06:10,738 --> 00:06:12,804
And now it's all just... my game is gone.
153
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:15,140
Liz North is waiting for me to fail.
154
00:06:15,142 --> 00:06:16,608
I need to get out before she fires me.
155
00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:18,910
I need a new life.
156
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:20,712
You know whose life I need?
157
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:21,913
Princess Emily's.
158
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:23,482
That woman? Nothing but game.
159
00:06:23,484 --> 00:06:25,301
She was a human-rights lawyer.
160
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:27,119
And now she gets to wear
diamonds on her head.
161
00:06:27,121 --> 00:06:28,754
On her head, Liv.
162
00:06:28,756 --> 00:06:29,955
I think I'll stick with being me.
163
00:06:29,957 --> 00:06:31,456
I wonder what that life is like.
164
00:06:31,458 --> 00:06:33,458
You know, one day, you're a regular person.
165
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:36,094
The next day, you're the most
famous woman on the planet,
166
00:06:36,096 --> 00:06:37,696
and only because of who you're in love with.
167
00:06:37,698 --> 00:06:39,998
Suddenly, that's all you are,
is somebody's...
168
00:06:41,635 --> 00:06:45,704
I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop.
169
00:06:45,706 --> 00:06:48,974
It's just, people get weird
when they see me, so I just...
170
00:06:48,976 --> 00:06:50,909
I was going to try and
stay in there until you left,
171
00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:52,644
but then you started talking about me
172
00:06:52,646 --> 00:06:54,513
and I thought you'd
want to know I-I was in...
173
00:06:54,515 --> 00:06:57,048
I am so sorry, Your Royal Highness.
174
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,786
Why don't we give you some privacy?
175
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:05,123
Oh, wait a minute.
176
00:07:05,125 --> 00:07:06,458
You're Olivia Pope.
177
00:07:06,460 --> 00:07:07,959
You handled the press for my engagement.
178
00:07:07,961 --> 00:07:11,029
I... I watched you on tv.
179
00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:17,936
My friend didn't really
mean anything by what she said.
180
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:20,138
Oh, oh, I've... I've gotten used to it.
181
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:23,642
For most of the world,
I'm not a real person anymore.
182
00:07:23,644 --> 00:07:26,445
I stopped being a real person for people
183
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:28,567
the moment the world found out
I was marrying Richard.
184
00:07:29,183 --> 00:07:30,882
To them, I'm...
185
00:07:30,884 --> 00:07:34,052
I'm not human. I'm just... a spectacle.
186
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:38,457
And I don't think they would say
half the things they say
187
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:42,961
if they knew they were hurting
an actual person, do you?
188
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:45,203
No, I don't think they would.
189
00:07:50,471 --> 00:07:52,904
Well, you have a wonderful night.
190
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:05,183
Apparently, the royal family
needs more time.
191
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:06,952
They've already had six months of time.
192
00:08:06,954 --> 00:08:07,953
I don't know what else to do.
193
00:08:07,955 --> 00:08:09,654
They're in a bubble, a fishbowl.
194
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:11,957
They can't afford to look like
they're taking orders from us.
195
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:14,926
They need more time,
you give them more time.
196
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:16,094
I'd give them another six months
197
00:08:16,095 --> 00:08:17,261
if I could spend it all in this bed.
198
00:08:17,264 --> 00:08:19,030
Mmm.
199
00:08:22,936 --> 00:08:23,835
Mnh-mnh. mm-hmm.
200
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:25,103
Mnh-mnh. Yes.
201
00:08:25,105 --> 00:08:26,805
Mnh-mnh.
202
00:08:31,545 --> 00:08:32,711
Olivia Pope.
203
00:08:35,115 --> 00:08:37,282
Of course I'll hold.
204
00:08:37,284 --> 00:08:38,850
Your majesty.
205
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:41,292
Good evening. What can I do for you?
206
00:09:02,576 --> 00:09:04,309
Everybody back!
207
00:09:04,311 --> 00:09:06,711
That is not a suggestion, sir!
208
00:09:06,713 --> 00:09:07,879
Cover her body!
209
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:09,714
Ma'am, I need you to step back!
210
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:12,751
Ma'am!
211
00:09:12,753 --> 00:09:14,753
Have some respect!
212
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:22,594
The royal family, along with
millions of people
213
00:09:22,596 --> 00:09:23,995
around the world, are in shock tonight
214
00:09:23,997 --> 00:09:26,898
after crown princess Emily
of Caledonia was killed...
215
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,067
no official statement
has come from the royal family,
216
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,336
but sources say they are devastated
217
00:09:31,338 --> 00:09:33,972
by the princess's sudden and tragic death.
218
00:09:33,974 --> 00:09:36,041
In the meantime,
local and federal investigators
219
00:09:36,043 --> 00:09:37,742
are working together to determine
220
00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:39,861
the cause of the crash.
221
00:09:39,862 --> 00:09:41,979
First of all, thank you for coming.
222
00:09:41,982 --> 00:09:44,349
The police have the best
of intentions, I'm sure,
223
00:09:44,351 --> 00:09:46,918
but I believe it's wise to
have someone on the ground
224
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,054
representing our interests.
225
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:51,056
You said there were photos taken.
226
00:09:51,058 --> 00:09:53,825
Yes. and I did my best to shield
the princess from the cameras,
227
00:09:53,827 --> 00:09:55,927
but... there are photos of her body?
228
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:58,964
Your Royal Highness, allow me
to express my deepest...
229
00:09:58,966 --> 00:10:00,131
Can we get them back?
230
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:01,733
I'm sorry? The pictures.
231
00:10:01,735 --> 00:10:04,202
Richard, dear, I thought I told you to rest.
232
00:10:04,204 --> 00:10:06,164
I'm asking her a question, mother.
233
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:13,044
We can try to get the photos
of your wife's body back,
234
00:10:13,046 --> 00:10:14,779
but it's going to be difficult.
235
00:10:14,781 --> 00:10:16,047
But not impossible. Richard.
236
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:17,616
She was my wife.
237
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:19,784
Mother, please.
238
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:25,190
I know you can't save her life, Olivia
239
00:10:25,192 --> 00:10:27,192
but perhaps you can save her dignity.
240
00:10:28,762 --> 00:10:31,096
Google "fairy-tale wedding,"
this is what you'll get.
241
00:10:31,098 --> 00:10:32,397
An American beauty swept off her feet
242
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,966
by the most desirable bachelor
on the planet,
243
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:36,801
married prince charming three years ago.
244
00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:39,137
In front of 4,000 of her
closest family and friends.
245
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:41,206
Broadcast Live in 38 countries.
246
00:10:41,208 --> 00:10:42,907
What every little princess-to-be
dreams about.
247
00:10:42,909 --> 00:10:44,592
If you don't count the paparazzi.
248
00:10:44,593 --> 00:10:46,276
No matter where they went,
the cameras followed.
249
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,346
The public is obsessed, which is my point.
250
00:10:48,348 --> 00:10:50,649
Liv, everybody is gonna
want to see these photos.
251
00:10:50,651 --> 00:10:52,350
Every gruesome detail
of the princess's death.
252
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:54,386
Her dead body, in color, on film.
253
00:10:54,388 --> 00:10:56,755
That's the Holy Grail.
254
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:59,123
And we need every photo, every
pixel, every jpeg, gigabyte
255
00:10:59,126 --> 00:11:01,076
in our possession,
and we need it by morning.
256
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:03,027
How the hell am I supposed to
talk sleazy paparazzi
257
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:03,962
into handing over their photos?
258
00:11:03,964 --> 00:11:04,996
Appeal to their nobility?
259
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:06,331
We have options.
260
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:19,144
Listen, all I'm saying is,
your paper is better than this.
261
00:11:23,884 --> 00:11:24,983
I know you have a story to cover.
262
00:11:24,985 --> 00:11:26,451
But you also have a choice.
263
00:11:26,452 --> 00:11:27,918
You can choose to respect the dignity
264
00:11:27,921 --> 00:11:29,881
of an icon the world is mourning...
265
00:11:31,992 --> 00:11:33,592
How much?
266
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:35,193
No, name your price, Gillian... any number.
267
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,294
I don't care how high!
268
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:39,030
Gillian! Gill...
269
00:11:41,001 --> 00:11:42,200
She doesn't want money.
270
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,035
She's gonna run the photos... today.
271
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,004
Well, they'll be the only ones.
272
00:11:46,006 --> 00:11:49,074
I was able to track down
all of the paparazzi...
273
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:50,208
except for one... this guy.
274
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:51,743
But don't worry, I'll find him.
275
00:11:51,745 --> 00:11:53,478
If Gillian publishes the pictures,
276
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,213
then it won't matter if you find him or not.
277
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:57,055
We can't fight a blank front page.
278
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:01,052
Oh.
279
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:03,488
We don't fight it.
280
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:04,956
We help them fill it.
281
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:12,130
No! I won't do it!
282
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:13,431
It's disgraceful!
283
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:15,200
Yes, it is,
284
00:12:15,201 --> 00:12:16,968
but it is less disgraceful
than the alternative.
285
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,504
And if there was another way...
but we are out of time here.
286
00:12:19,506 --> 00:12:21,139
No. enough.
287
00:12:21,141 --> 00:12:23,108
Let them run those horrible pictures.
288
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:24,342
Thank you for your efforts.
289
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:26,184
I'll do it. Richard.
290
00:12:27,514 --> 00:12:28,634
I'll do it.
291
00:12:29,983 --> 00:12:32,183
On behalf of the United States government
292
00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,918
and the American people,
293
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,254
I extend our deepest condolences
294
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:38,823
to prince Richard and the royal family,
295
00:12:38,825 --> 00:12:42,293
and to all those who knew and loved her.
296
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:46,197
They say that princesses
only exist in fairy tales,
297
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:49,200
but princess Emily was real.
298
00:12:49,202 --> 00:12:54,038
She was beautiful
and vibrant and compassionate...
299
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,276
but even more than that, she was one of us.
300
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:03,248
She was, and always will be,
America's princess.
301
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,385
In sharing the joys of her life,
302
00:13:07,387 --> 00:13:11,055
she captured our imaginations
and our hearts.
303
00:13:13,193 --> 00:13:14,826
And while we are grateful
304
00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:17,862
for the precious time we had with her,
305
00:13:17,864 --> 00:13:20,899
the truth is, it was nowhere near enough.
306
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:26,838
You were here all night?
307
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,440
Had to be. I'm a one-man band.
308
00:13:29,442 --> 00:13:31,176
I could bring Huck in.
309
00:13:31,178 --> 00:13:32,844
Did he tell you what he did? no.
310
00:13:32,845 --> 00:13:34,511
Then he's too much of a coward
to come back to work,
311
00:13:34,514 --> 00:13:36,347
to own what he did, who he is.
312
00:13:36,349 --> 00:13:37,816
What happened between you two?
313
00:13:37,818 --> 00:13:40,351
Look, I've got this, Liv. I am good.
314
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:42,587
18 photographers, 1,300 images,
315
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:45,123
$2.4 million, and I did it all by myself.
316
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:46,691
Did you find the guy from the picture?
317
00:13:46,692 --> 00:13:48,258
I ran the photo by a few
of the other stalkerazzi.
318
00:13:48,261 --> 00:13:50,361
No luck. I wouldn't worry about it.
319
00:13:50,363 --> 00:13:51,896
If he had photos,
320
00:13:51,897 --> 00:13:53,430
they'd be out there on
the cover of something by now.
321
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:55,066
Get some sleep.
322
00:13:55,068 --> 00:13:57,235
I'm an idiot.
323
00:13:57,236 --> 00:13:59,403
Of course none of the other
photogs could identify this guy,
324
00:13:59,406 --> 00:14:01,539
because this guy isn't a photographer.
325
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:03,041
I need your help with
326
00:14:03,043 --> 00:14:05,276
the investigation into
princess Emily's death.
327
00:14:05,278 --> 00:14:06,578
See this photographer?
328
00:14:06,580 --> 00:14:08,246
Yes. he's not a photographer.
329
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:09,280
This confuses me.
330
00:14:09,282 --> 00:14:11,282
He has a camera.
331
00:14:11,284 --> 00:14:13,218
That's not a camera.
332
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:15,553
And that's a short-wave r.f. signal booster.
333
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:16,988
Don't make me ask, Quinn.
334
00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:18,590
They're used to increase the power and range
335
00:14:18,592 --> 00:14:19,490
of a bluetooth connection.
336
00:14:19,492 --> 00:14:21,092
This man is a hacker.
337
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:22,627
We think he was posing as
a photographer in order to
338
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:25,096
hack into the princess's car
and cause the crash.
339
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:29,267
"Cause the crash" assassination
"cause the crash"?
340
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:31,269
It was a murder. somebody
wanted the princess dead.
341
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,273
What's left of the car is with
Interpol, computer included.
342
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:36,341
I don't have access to it.
343
00:14:36,343 --> 00:14:38,977
Princess Emily died on American soil.
344
00:14:38,979 --> 00:14:41,412
You are the attorney general
of the United States.
345
00:14:41,414 --> 00:14:43,281
There are limit's to my power.
346
00:14:43,283 --> 00:14:45,350
I've seen what you can do
with your power, david.
347
00:14:45,352 --> 00:14:47,118
I'll see what I can do.
348
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,536
Thank you.
349
00:14:52,659 --> 00:14:54,659
Mrs. Grant?
350
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:06,371
I'm going to assume that
last night was a mistake.
351
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:08,473
Today, there will be no mistakes. excuse me?
352
00:15:08,475 --> 00:15:10,909
You will assure me now that
he will be at the Capitol,
353
00:15:10,911 --> 00:15:12,277
by my side, this afternoon
354
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:14,245
when I take the oath to become
a United States senator.
355
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:16,631
That's why I'm here.
356
00:15:16,632 --> 00:15:19,016
You will guarantee that the
President shows up for his wife,
357
00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:20,652
because that is what is best.
358
00:15:20,654 --> 00:15:22,553
I don't appreciate being summoned...
359
00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:24,455
you don't appreciate?
360
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:27,158
You don't appreciate being...
361
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,160
you ungrateful, little...
362
00:15:28,161 --> 00:15:29,394
okay, this meeting is over.
363
00:15:29,396 --> 00:15:31,296
Why? why did you betray me?
364
00:15:31,298 --> 00:15:32,497
After everything I did for you.
365
00:15:32,499 --> 00:15:34,933
I saved your life.
366
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:36,968
I saved you and your child
from Olivia Pope's butcher.
367
00:15:36,970 --> 00:15:38,469
I took you in.
368
00:15:38,471 --> 00:15:40,305
I brought your bones back
from the political graveyard
369
00:15:40,307 --> 00:15:43,408
and performed voodoo
to make you somebody again.
370
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:48,579
And as payment, you stab me in the back.
371
00:15:48,581 --> 00:15:49,581
I want to know why.
372
00:15:49,582 --> 00:15:52,250
First, let's be clear.
373
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:54,352
You did not do anything for me.
You did that for you.
374
00:15:54,354 --> 00:15:56,521
You only ever do anything
for your own benefit.
375
00:15:56,523 --> 00:15:59,057
Second, you didn't take me in.
376
00:15:59,059 --> 00:16:00,658
I was your prisoner. I was your puppet.
377
00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:02,160
I was your bitch.
378
00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:04,629
Third, your payment...
379
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:06,064
was that I got you elected.
380
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:08,366
You are sitting in that chair,
in this office,
381
00:16:08,368 --> 00:16:11,269
a United States senator, because of me.
382
00:16:11,271 --> 00:16:13,104
That is how I repaid you.
383
00:16:13,106 --> 00:16:16,007
Fourth, one can only be betrayed
if there's loyalty first.
384
00:16:16,009 --> 00:16:18,476
I was never loyal to you,
and you were never loyal to me.
385
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:20,278
I don't think you've ever
been loyal to anyone.
386
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,680
So, when I made my move up
the ladder of political success
387
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:25,683
all on my own, I wasn't
even thinking about you,
388
00:16:25,685 --> 00:16:27,051
because you don't matter to me.
389
00:16:27,053 --> 00:16:29,220
And now you also don't matter
390
00:16:29,222 --> 00:16:31,356
to the most powerful man
on the face of the earth.
391
00:16:31,358 --> 00:16:33,291
But guess who does...
392
00:16:33,293 --> 00:16:34,993
me.
393
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:36,594
I'm his chief of staff.
394
00:16:36,596 --> 00:16:41,332
And so believe me when I say... hmm...
395
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:44,268
the President regrets to inform
you that he is unable to attend
396
00:16:44,270 --> 00:16:46,738
your little swearing-in today, senator.
397
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:48,239
He had better things to do.
398
00:16:48,241 --> 00:16:51,242
But best of luck in future endeavors.
399
00:16:58,318 --> 00:16:59,701
Well, some people are saying that
400
00:16:59,702 --> 00:17:01,085
the timing of the royal family's tragic loss
401
00:17:01,087 --> 00:17:02,420
is certainly a convenient distraction
402
00:17:02,422 --> 00:17:04,455
from what's really going on
in that white house.
403
00:17:04,457 --> 00:17:07,725
And I just wanted to give you
an opportunity to comment.
404
00:17:07,727 --> 00:17:09,660
Some people, sally, or just you?
405
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:13,564
Cyrus Beene quit's to "spend
more time with his family,"
406
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:15,666
and Mellie skips the state dinner.
407
00:17:15,668 --> 00:17:18,136
Are you honestly suggesting
that we committed regicide
408
00:17:18,138 --> 00:17:20,371
to distract America
from a flu and a life choice?
409
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:22,373
I'm wondering whether
the President will be attending
410
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:25,143
his wife senator Grant's
swearing-in ceremony today.
411
00:17:25,145 --> 00:17:26,644
I'm wondering if the wool
412
00:17:26,646 --> 00:17:28,746
is being pulled over America's eyes.
413
00:17:28,748 --> 00:17:30,748
Sally, there is no wool.
414
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:33,251
There is just the truth.
Try running with that, for once.
415
00:17:39,692 --> 00:17:42,093
Charlotte? it's Abby.
416
00:17:42,095 --> 00:17:43,528
Please tell me the President is confirmed
417
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:46,297
to attend the first lady's
swearing-in ceremony.
418
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,299
Go away.
419
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:49,399
He's not going to the swearing-in.
420
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,269
I tried. he refuses to attend.
421
00:17:51,271 --> 00:17:53,204
I've got Sally Langston all over me.
422
00:17:53,206 --> 00:17:54,355
She's looking, and looking hard.
423
00:17:54,356 --> 00:17:55,505
He has to attend. he won't.
424
00:17:55,508 --> 00:17:56,641
He needs to attend.
425
00:17:56,643 --> 00:17:58,109
He's not going.
426
00:17:58,111 --> 00:18:00,511
Deal with it, and don't mess it up.
427
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,806
I shouldn't be here.
428
00:18:28,808 --> 00:18:30,374
I thought we could have lunch together.
429
00:18:30,376 --> 00:18:32,210
Fitz, you can't summon me here for lunch...
430
00:18:32,212 --> 00:18:34,012
not now, now when Abby
431
00:18:34,013 --> 00:18:35,813
and a roomful of press
is right down the hall.
432
00:18:35,815 --> 00:18:37,181
I shouldn't be here.
433
00:18:37,183 --> 00:18:38,783
So, that's a no?
434
00:18:42,322 --> 00:18:44,155
Where you been?
435
00:18:44,157 --> 00:18:45,223
Working.
436
00:18:45,225 --> 00:18:46,824
For the queen? how's she doing?
437
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:48,893
Mm.
438
00:18:48,895 --> 00:18:51,562
Are you asking as a concerned citizen
439
00:18:51,564 --> 00:18:54,365
or as a President
worried about his naval base?
440
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:56,648
As if I could be so cold.
441
00:18:59,439 --> 00:19:01,639
Don't you have a
swearing-in ceremony to get to?
442
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:03,174
What? Mellie.
443
00:19:03,176 --> 00:19:05,243
Liz North and I decided I'm not going.
444
00:19:05,245 --> 00:19:06,310
What do you mean, you're not going?
445
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:07,445
Liv... don't "Liv" me.
446
00:19:07,447 --> 00:19:09,514
It's a hugely public event.
447
00:19:09,516 --> 00:19:12,316
If you don't attend, all
it will do is raise questions.
448
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:14,852
And you owe her this. I owe her?
449
00:19:14,854 --> 00:19:16,721
She's the junior senator from virginia,
450
00:19:16,723 --> 00:19:18,589
and she's a woman that everybody thinks of
451
00:19:18,591 --> 00:19:20,758
as nothing more than your wife.
452
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,527
And she's looking for respect.
453
00:19:22,529 --> 00:19:24,262
How many times do you think
she's done this for you,
454
00:19:24,264 --> 00:19:26,597
whether she wanted to or not?
455
00:19:32,939 --> 00:19:35,573
In the wake of princess Emily's
tragic passing last night,
456
00:19:35,575 --> 00:19:38,409
President Grant regrets
that his duties will prevent him
457
00:19:38,411 --> 00:19:40,811
from attending senator Grant's
swearing-in today.
458
00:19:40,813 --> 00:19:42,813
Do you solemnly swear to support and defend
459
00:19:42,815 --> 00:19:44,582
the constitution of the United States
460
00:19:44,584 --> 00:19:46,450
against all enemies foreign and domestic...
461
00:19:46,452 --> 00:19:48,352
so, you're saying
the President is definitely not
462
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:49,687
going to the first lady's swearing-in?
463
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:51,255
Asked and answered, Carol.
464
00:19:51,257 --> 00:19:52,890
That you take this obligation freely,
465
00:19:52,891 --> 00:19:54,524
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion...
466
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:56,594
I want to be sure
that's your official statement.
467
00:19:56,596 --> 00:19:58,262
If you didn't catch it, you can always
468
00:19:58,264 --> 00:19:59,897
borrow someone else's notes after class.
469
00:19:59,899 --> 00:20:01,966
And that you will well and
faithfully discharge the duties
470
00:20:01,968 --> 00:20:03,768
of the office on which
you are about to enter,
471
00:20:03,770 --> 00:20:05,336
so help you God? I do.
472
00:20:05,338 --> 00:20:07,271
I'm giving you a chance to amend it, Abby.
473
00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:08,506
And why would I want to do that?
474
00:20:08,508 --> 00:20:10,341
Because 20 reporters are live-tweeting
475
00:20:10,343 --> 00:20:12,877
at the Capitol building,
where he is, in fact,
476
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:14,319
attending his wife's swearing-in.
477
00:20:16,482 --> 00:20:18,842
Congratulations, senator Grant.
478
00:20:20,486 --> 00:20:21,786
We did it.
479
00:20:21,788 --> 00:20:22,853
Oh.
480
00:20:25,692 --> 00:20:27,592
I just wanted to thank you for coming today.
481
00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:29,694
Mellie.
- and I wanted to apologize.
482
00:20:29,696 --> 00:20:31,762
I would have done it sooner,
but I wanted to do it in person.
483
00:20:31,764 --> 00:20:33,598
I thought I'd have a chance
before the state dinner,
484
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,799
especially with the queen visiting
485
00:20:34,801 --> 00:20:36,901
and the optics of that whole...
486
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:39,002
but I understand that you needed
some space, some time.
487
00:20:39,005 --> 00:20:40,905
But I'm glad you came around.
488
00:20:44,377 --> 00:20:46,811
I think about what I did every day.
489
00:20:46,813 --> 00:20:49,747
Those jurors...
490
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:54,452
what I did, uh, those jurors... i...
491
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:57,788
I will never forgive myself.
492
00:20:57,790 --> 00:21:00,258
And maybe you won't either.
493
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:02,593
I guess we add it to the list
of awful things we've done...
494
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:06,364
things we spend our future
together trying to repent for.
495
00:21:06,366 --> 00:21:09,000
But I can face it...
496
00:21:09,002 --> 00:21:11,803
because we'll be together.
497
00:21:11,804 --> 00:21:14,605
I know, without a doubt,
that you and I together, a team,
498
00:21:14,607 --> 00:21:16,540
is what's best...
499
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:21,012
for us, for the country,
for our beautiful children.
500
00:21:21,014 --> 00:21:23,748
And I'm so glad you see it, too.
501
00:21:26,686 --> 00:21:27,952
I'm divorcing you.
502
00:21:39,065 --> 00:21:41,332
I'll never sign.
- You will.
503
00:21:41,334 --> 00:21:43,934
You have so many qualities I despise,
504
00:21:43,936 --> 00:21:45,736
but I do admire your brilliance.
505
00:21:45,738 --> 00:21:47,071
So do the math, Mel.
506
00:21:47,073 --> 00:21:49,740
Fighting this, fighting me,
507
00:21:49,742 --> 00:21:52,877
will mean both of us deploy
every weapon in our arsenals,
508
00:21:52,879 --> 00:21:56,514
every lie, every secret,
every juror on that bus.
509
00:21:56,516 --> 00:21:58,949
Mutually assured destruction.
510
00:21:58,951 --> 00:22:00,718
We'll be ruined.
511
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,655
Now, me, hey, I'm a war hero,
governor, a two-term President.
512
00:22:04,657 --> 00:22:06,090
My bucket list is done.
513
00:22:06,092 --> 00:22:08,392
You?
514
00:22:08,394 --> 00:22:11,796
Your biggest accomplishment
so far is waving and smiling.
515
00:22:11,798 --> 00:22:14,899
It's your first day pitching
in the major leagues.
516
00:22:14,901 --> 00:22:17,034
You'll sign.
517
00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:28,846
Why didn't I get a heads-up?
518
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:30,614
I just got destroyed out there.
519
00:22:30,616 --> 00:22:32,550
Look, I get it.
520
00:22:32,552 --> 00:22:34,785
I'm Cyrus' guy. You want my head on a stick.
521
00:22:34,787 --> 00:22:36,654
But until you actually fire me,
522
00:22:36,656 --> 00:22:38,356
I'd like to be able to do my job.
523
00:22:38,358 --> 00:22:40,591
And in order to do that,
I have to know things!
524
00:22:40,593 --> 00:22:42,393
I don't play politics
with my employees, Abby.
525
00:22:42,395 --> 00:22:43,978
I have no idea what you're talking about.
526
00:22:43,979 --> 00:22:45,562
Oh, so, the President's
chief of staff had no idea...
527
00:22:45,565 --> 00:22:48,032
none at all... that
the President did a complete 180
528
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:50,594
and decided to attend Mellie's swearing-in?
529
00:23:00,046 --> 00:23:01,326
You really didn't know.
530
00:23:06,552 --> 00:23:09,687
Oh.
531
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:12,022
Divorce papers?
532
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:15,659
I thought you'd be happy.
533
00:23:15,661 --> 00:23:16,761
You don't look happy.
534
00:23:16,763 --> 00:23:17,828
No, I...
535
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:20,664
I'm... I'm just surprised.
536
00:23:20,666 --> 00:23:23,186
I... I didn't know that you were even...
537
00:23:25,004 --> 00:23:26,170
Divorce?
538
00:23:26,172 --> 00:23:29,039
I have dragged you into my marriage enough.
539
00:23:29,041 --> 00:23:31,041
You shouldn't have to deal with this.
540
00:23:31,043 --> 00:23:33,144
But we had a plan.
541
00:23:33,146 --> 00:23:35,513
Optics, your approval ratings, and I...
542
00:23:35,515 --> 00:23:36,981
Life is short.
543
00:23:36,983 --> 00:23:38,149
You saw what happened to the princess.
544
00:23:38,151 --> 00:23:39,650
One minute, she's Living a charmed life.
545
00:23:39,652 --> 00:23:40,818
The next, it's over.
546
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:42,553
No warning.
547
00:23:42,555 --> 00:23:44,655
I don't want to wait.
548
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:46,924
Okay?
549
00:23:50,897 --> 00:23:52,863
Okay.
550
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:55,032
This is good.
551
00:23:55,034 --> 00:23:58,002
This is good.
552
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:20,157
David.
553
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:21,592
The car's internal computer
554
00:24:21,594 --> 00:24:23,928
shows it was traveling at 55 miles per hour
555
00:24:23,930 --> 00:24:25,213
at the time of the crash.
556
00:24:25,214 --> 00:24:26,497
Speeding, but nothing a passenger
557
00:24:26,499 --> 00:24:28,065
in the back seat wouldn't survive.
558
00:24:28,067 --> 00:24:30,701
But if you measure the distance
between the surveillance cameras
559
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:31,902
as the car approached the tunnel,
560
00:24:31,904 --> 00:24:33,504
it was going more like 120.
561
00:24:33,506 --> 00:24:35,806
So... so we are definitely talking about
562
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:39,328
a "caused the crash" assassination
"caused the crash."
563
00:24:40,746 --> 00:24:42,580
I can't believe someone
would want to murder this girl.
564
00:24:42,582 --> 00:24:44,748
She looks happy and perfect.
565
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:46,784
They are just a bunch of photos, I guess.
566
00:24:46,786 --> 00:24:49,220
Where was the prince when Emily was
opening this hospital in Hibernia?
567
00:24:49,222 --> 00:24:52,022
He was on a navy carrier in the Black Sea.
568
00:24:52,024 --> 00:24:54,825
And when he was vacationing
in the French Riviera?
569
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:57,962
Um, she was touring a school
for girls in Shanghai.
570
00:24:57,964 --> 00:24:59,797
They weren't spending much time together.
571
00:24:59,799 --> 00:25:01,382
Doesn't look like it.
572
00:25:01,383 --> 00:25:02,966
I mean, it seems like the only person
573
00:25:02,969 --> 00:25:05,002
she spent any real time with
was her bodyguard.
574
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:11,995
Who died in the car with her.
575
00:25:14,514 --> 00:25:16,547
What if there wasn't any
"happily ever after"?
576
00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:18,830
What if it was all a lie?
577
00:25:19,752 --> 00:25:21,819
The princess was having
an affair with her bodyguard.
578
00:25:21,821 --> 00:25:23,854
I don't think the prince
was happy about that.
579
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:24,889
That doesn't mean the prince
580
00:25:24,891 --> 00:25:26,657
hired someone to murder his wife.
581
00:25:26,659 --> 00:25:29,059
Even if he did, it's not like
we can prosecute him.
582
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:31,562
Prince Richard is protected by
diplomatic immunity,
583
00:25:31,564 --> 00:25:33,831
so, no, technically, we wouldn't
be able to press charges.
584
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:35,266
That said, there have been instances
585
00:25:35,268 --> 00:25:37,101
where we have convinced
a suspect's native country
586
00:25:37,103 --> 00:25:38,603
to waive immunity.
587
00:25:38,604 --> 00:25:40,104
So it's possible? yes, but in this case,
588
00:25:40,106 --> 00:25:42,606
that would mean convincing
the queen to waive immunity,
589
00:25:42,608 --> 00:25:44,008
and with her being
the prince's mother and all...
590
00:25:44,010 --> 00:25:45,809
it's possible, mr. President.
591
00:25:45,811 --> 00:25:49,146
Possible to hold accountable
the person responsible
592
00:25:49,148 --> 00:25:51,549
for killing an American on American soil,
593
00:25:51,551 --> 00:25:53,951
before they leave the country,
while we still have a chance.
594
00:25:53,953 --> 00:25:55,119
No.
595
00:25:55,121 --> 00:25:57,004
Liz is right.
596
00:25:57,005 --> 00:25:58,888
The rules of diplomatic
immunity are... I could have...
597
00:25:58,891 --> 00:26:03,027
I should have gone to my clients
with this information first.
598
00:26:03,029 --> 00:26:05,763
I'm only here out of courtesy
599
00:26:05,765 --> 00:26:07,298
and out of a terribly misguided belief
600
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:08,832
that someone in this office
601
00:26:08,834 --> 00:26:10,901
might be interested in
doing the right thing.
602
00:26:24,951 --> 00:26:27,618
It's the naval base, isn't it?
603
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:29,053
You want your naval base.
604
00:26:29,055 --> 00:26:32,623
That's more important than
the murder of innocent people.
605
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,092
I can't accuse the crown prince
of Caledonia of murder.
606
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:37,294
You can. You just don't want to.
607
00:26:37,296 --> 00:26:39,863
Those naval bases are strategically...
- Don't talk to me about naval bases!
608
00:26:39,865 --> 00:26:42,299
They are strategically valuable,
and I can't just ignore that!
609
00:26:42,301 --> 00:26:44,268
I'm running a country here!
610
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:46,737
Sometimes you and I are
gonna have different priorities.
611
00:26:46,739 --> 00:26:48,339
Clearly.
612
00:26:51,877 --> 00:26:54,712
The good news is I don't work for you.
613
00:26:54,714 --> 00:26:57,781
If you go to the queen with
your speculation, with your gut,
614
00:26:57,783 --> 00:27:00,751
you will be gravely endangering
the national security
615
00:27:00,753 --> 00:27:03,287
of this country, and you will be prosecuted!
616
00:27:20,072 --> 00:27:22,172
Are you back?
617
00:27:24,410 --> 00:27:26,110
Huck?
618
00:27:26,112 --> 00:27:27,311
Are you sleeping here? are you back?
619
00:27:27,313 --> 00:27:29,146
I Live here.
620
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:31,915
Did something happen... with him?
621
00:27:31,917 --> 00:27:34,718
I'm just tired.
I want to sleep in my own bed.
622
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,420
Is he hurting you...
623
00:27:36,422 --> 00:27:39,923
on the inside?
624
00:27:41,293 --> 00:27:42,760
I'm fine.
625
00:27:42,762 --> 00:27:44,282
You don't worry about me, okay?
626
00:27:55,941 --> 00:28:00,077
Huck...
627
00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:03,714
did Quinn hurt you... on the inside?
628
00:28:05,818 --> 00:28:06,950
Yes.
629
00:28:06,952 --> 00:28:10,054
Huck... but I hurt her, too.
630
00:28:10,056 --> 00:28:11,855
We hurt each other.
631
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:14,925
But I didn't try to kill her.
632
00:28:14,927 --> 00:28:16,827
You should talk to her.
633
00:28:16,829 --> 00:28:20,731
I... opened a window today.
634
00:28:20,733 --> 00:28:24,435
Fresh air... vitamin "D"
635
00:28:24,437 --> 00:28:25,803
I'll be fine.
636
00:28:25,805 --> 00:28:26,970
Is this your plan?
637
00:28:26,972 --> 00:28:29,940
To stay on this sofa
and maybe open a window?
638
00:28:29,942 --> 00:28:32,142
Because... you're home now.
639
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:34,111
Me?
640
00:28:36,115 --> 00:28:38,782
Have you been waiting for me to come home?
641
00:28:38,784 --> 00:28:40,784
I'm your plan?
642
00:28:40,786 --> 00:28:43,887
You always fix me.
643
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:48,058
I don't know what happened
or how it happened or when or...
644
00:28:49,462 --> 00:28:51,995
but you need to do what you do...
645
00:28:51,997 --> 00:28:54,198
because I want to see
Kim and Javi, and I can't.
646
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,836
I can't go home... not like this.
647
00:28:58,838 --> 00:29:02,239
Not while I want to...
648
00:29:02,241 --> 00:29:05,142
my guy is out, Liv.
649
00:29:05,144 --> 00:29:07,111
My guy is out.
650
00:29:07,113 --> 00:29:09,012
He's running around,
651
00:29:09,014 --> 00:29:14,284
and I can't go home until you fix me.
652
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:20,190
What do you mean, your guy?
653
00:29:20,192 --> 00:29:22,092
Please.
654
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:25,229
Huck... I want to help you.
655
00:29:25,231 --> 00:29:27,331
I do.
656
00:29:27,333 --> 00:29:31,101
But... I can't fix you.
657
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:34,104
I don't fix people.
658
00:29:34,106 --> 00:29:35,939
Not like that, not on the inside.
659
00:29:35,941 --> 00:29:37,908
If I could fix people on the inside,
660
00:29:37,910 --> 00:29:39,409
I'd be running a bake sale
in Ohio right now.
661
00:29:39,411 --> 00:29:40,844
I wouldn't be...
662
00:29:43,149 --> 00:29:47,117
I don't know how to fix you.
663
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,453
I wish I did. I wish I had some...
664
00:29:51,524 --> 00:29:53,323
I-I don't know anything. I'm sorry.
665
00:29:53,325 --> 00:29:55,325
But you... you need a new plan,
a better plan,
666
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:59,363
a much better plan than me.
667
00:30:15,014 --> 00:30:16,413
Well, she didn't waste any time, did she?
668
00:30:16,415 --> 00:30:18,348
I'm sorry? Olivia Pope
is in the white house,
669
00:30:18,350 --> 00:30:19,950
which means she's in the President's bed,
670
00:30:19,952 --> 00:30:22,953
which means she's up in our business.
671
00:30:25,124 --> 00:30:27,391
Go ahead, play dumb. protect your friend.
672
00:30:27,393 --> 00:30:30,260
I just witnessed a lovers'
quarrel in the oval office.
673
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:33,964
And keeping a secret like that
is not gonna work for me.
674
00:30:37,503 --> 00:30:41,138
Honestly, I had no idea.
675
00:30:44,543 --> 00:30:46,577
Well, now you do.
676
00:30:46,579 --> 00:30:48,312
And if you want to know
677
00:30:48,314 --> 00:30:50,547
who's been undermining you
out there at that podium,
678
00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:53,450
I think we've just
figured that out, as well.
679
00:31:14,139 --> 00:31:16,006
You need to go straight to the white house
680
00:31:16,008 --> 00:31:17,641
and do whatever it is that you have to do
681
00:31:17,642 --> 00:31:19,275
to get your job back
and talk some sense into him,
682
00:31:19,278 --> 00:31:21,144
because if he goes through with this,
683
00:31:21,146 --> 00:31:23,914
if he divorces me,
then we are all finished...
684
00:31:23,916 --> 00:31:25,382
you, me, and him.
685
00:31:25,384 --> 00:31:28,151
And it doesn't have to be that way.
686
00:31:28,153 --> 00:31:30,053
We could have eight more years together.
687
00:31:30,055 --> 00:31:31,555
If Fitz and I stay married,
688
00:31:31,557 --> 00:31:33,957
and with you running my campaign...
689
00:31:36,128 --> 00:31:37,961
No.
690
00:31:37,963 --> 00:31:39,329
No?
691
00:31:39,331 --> 00:31:42,032
No. I'm not helping you anymore.
692
00:31:47,439 --> 00:31:48,672
Why?
693
00:31:55,547 --> 00:31:57,214
Because if he asks you to come back,
694
00:31:57,216 --> 00:31:59,776
you don't want to be associated with me?
695
00:32:00,686 --> 00:32:03,287
You think he's gonna
ask you to come back, cy?
696
00:32:03,289 --> 00:32:05,455
He doesn't want you, cy.
697
00:32:05,457 --> 00:32:08,692
He doesn't...
698
00:32:08,694 --> 00:32:12,296
want you...
699
00:32:12,298 --> 00:32:16,366
any more than he wants me.
700
00:32:23,342 --> 00:32:25,609
He hates us.
701
00:32:53,439 --> 00:32:55,339
I'm not here.
702
00:32:55,341 --> 00:32:57,207
You're not? I'm a figment
of your imagination.
703
00:32:57,209 --> 00:32:58,675
So is this autopsy report.
704
00:32:58,677 --> 00:33:00,377
They're burying this, Liv.
705
00:33:00,379 --> 00:33:01,645
Putting her body on a plane tonight.
706
00:33:01,647 --> 00:33:03,180
And tomorrow morning, I tell the world
707
00:33:03,182 --> 00:33:05,983
the accident was
entirely due to driver error.
708
00:33:05,985 --> 00:33:08,385
I don't know if this had anything
to do with why she died,
709
00:33:08,387 --> 00:33:11,221
but I do know those royal goons
don't want it coming out.
710
00:33:11,223 --> 00:33:12,456
If it's dangerous
for you to leak this to me...
711
00:33:12,458 --> 00:33:13,523
come on, you know me.
712
00:33:13,525 --> 00:33:15,392
Truth, justice, the American way.
713
00:33:15,394 --> 00:33:17,194
Also, I put you in cia jail.
714
00:33:25,604 --> 00:33:28,305
The princess was pregnant?
715
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:34,011
I know you adore prince Richard,
716
00:33:34,013 --> 00:33:36,213
but I believe that he had his wife killed.
717
00:33:36,215 --> 00:33:38,548
That's why he asked me
to recover those photos.
718
00:33:38,550 --> 00:33:41,151
Not to protect the princess's dignity,
719
00:33:41,153 --> 00:33:42,519
but to hide the fact that
720
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:44,721
she was riding in that car with her lover,
721
00:33:44,723 --> 00:33:45,689
which would give the police motive
722
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,090
and implicate the prince
723
00:33:47,092 --> 00:33:48,392
in her murder.
724
00:33:51,130 --> 00:33:53,463
I'm sorry to have to burden you with this...
725
00:33:53,465 --> 00:33:55,065
no, no... after everything
you've been through.
726
00:33:55,067 --> 00:33:57,200
I'm grateful you did.
727
00:33:57,202 --> 00:33:58,335
Have you spoken with the prince about this?
728
00:33:58,337 --> 00:34:00,037
Not yet.
729
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:02,506
Good. you mustn't. not a word.
730
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:05,442
And I trust I may continue
to rely on your discretion.
731
00:34:05,444 --> 00:34:09,079
Of course.
732
00:34:09,081 --> 00:34:11,381
But, your majesty,
if there is an investigation...
733
00:34:11,383 --> 00:34:13,783
there will be no investigation.
734
00:34:17,189 --> 00:34:21,291
My son is innocent, Olivia.
735
00:34:21,293 --> 00:34:23,193
He loved that girl.
736
00:34:23,195 --> 00:34:26,530
Worshipped her... blindly.
737
00:34:26,532 --> 00:34:29,833
She could do no wrong
where he was concerned.
738
00:34:29,835 --> 00:34:33,737
And I certainly couldn't
tell him what she really was.
739
00:34:35,374 --> 00:34:37,407
You knew she was pregnant.
740
00:34:38,477 --> 00:34:40,644
She could have given birth to a child
741
00:34:40,646 --> 00:34:43,313
who looked exactly like
that bodyguard of hers,
742
00:34:43,315 --> 00:34:46,349
and my son still wouldn't have seen it.
743
00:34:46,351 --> 00:34:49,252
She had one job...
744
00:34:49,254 --> 00:34:52,189
to give us an heir and a spare.
745
00:34:52,191 --> 00:34:54,825
And at that single job, she failed.
746
00:34:54,827 --> 00:34:58,562
You had her killed because
it wasn't your grandchild?
747
00:34:58,564 --> 00:35:00,730
A tragic loss of life...
748
00:35:00,732 --> 00:35:02,599
but far less tragic
749
00:35:02,601 --> 00:35:05,402
than handing the crown to one
who is not it's rightful heir.
750
00:35:05,404 --> 00:35:07,170
That is where we disagree.
751
00:35:07,172 --> 00:35:09,406
I haven't dismissed you.
Where are you going?
752
00:35:09,408 --> 00:35:10,774
To get justice.
753
00:35:10,776 --> 00:35:13,210
I am justice.
754
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:16,313
This is a private matter, Olivia,
755
00:35:16,315 --> 00:35:18,615
Protected by diplomatic immunity
756
00:35:18,617 --> 00:35:21,485
and by the nondisclosure
agreement you signed
757
00:35:21,487 --> 00:35:23,386
when you entered my employ,
758
00:35:23,388 --> 00:35:26,156
guaranteeing that the monarchy of Caledonia
759
00:35:26,158 --> 00:35:29,359
will continue as it has
760
00:35:29,361 --> 00:35:34,197
for millennia to come as it must.
761
00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:39,202
Oh, not all fairy tales
have happy endings, my dear.
762
00:35:40,906 --> 00:35:42,139
Now you may go.
763
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,620
Huck?
764
00:36:44,336 --> 00:36:47,470
What is she doing here?
765
00:36:47,472 --> 00:36:49,472
You hired her.
766
00:36:49,474 --> 00:36:53,510
The same way you hired
the man who murdered my wife.
767
00:36:53,512 --> 00:36:55,679
Olivia's nondisclosure agreement
didn't apply to me.
768
00:36:55,681 --> 00:36:58,381
So when we get home,
you're going to abdicate
769
00:36:58,383 --> 00:37:00,817
because of health reasons, because of age,
770
00:37:00,819 --> 00:37:03,386
because you are no longer fit to rule.
771
00:37:03,388 --> 00:37:05,322
You will allow your son
to accede to the throne
772
00:37:05,324 --> 00:37:06,556
and live out the rest of your days
773
00:37:06,558 --> 00:37:09,526
at the winter palace... alone...
774
00:37:09,528 --> 00:37:12,495
because the next time I see you,
775
00:37:12,497 --> 00:37:16,399
the next time I will be able to
even tolerate the sight of you,
776
00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:18,401
will be at your funeral.
- Richard...
777
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:21,638
if you oppose me,
if you speak out in any way...
778
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,607
Olivia Pope may not be able to
tell the world what you've done,
779
00:37:23,609 --> 00:37:25,408
but I won't hesitate.
780
00:37:36,255 --> 00:37:38,288
You were right.
781
00:37:38,290 --> 00:37:39,589
Not all fairy tales have happy endings.
782
00:37:39,591 --> 00:37:42,692
But evil queens?
783
00:37:42,694 --> 00:37:45,362
They tend to go down.
784
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:05,582
I need you to help me.
785
00:38:08,353 --> 00:38:09,719
Come in.
786
00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:30,540
I just got off the phone with half the navy.
787
00:38:30,542 --> 00:38:32,942
Turns out, prince Richard
is succeeding the queen,
788
00:38:32,944 --> 00:38:35,412
effective immediately.
789
00:38:35,414 --> 00:38:37,947
And since he's even more
impenetrable than his mother,
790
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:39,783
our naval base is dead in the water.
791
00:38:39,785 --> 00:38:43,086
I'm sorry you had a bad day at work.
792
00:38:43,088 --> 00:38:44,754
I had a good one.
793
00:38:44,756 --> 00:38:47,057
Why are you working so hard
to pick a fight with me?
794
00:38:47,059 --> 00:38:49,693
I'm not. I'm just
making clear my boundaries.
795
00:38:49,695 --> 00:38:51,428
Work is a boundary.
796
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:52,829
If you have a problem with that,
then I can't help you.
797
00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:54,064
That's reality.
798
00:38:57,402 --> 00:38:58,935
What?
799
00:38:58,937 --> 00:39:00,870
You want to talk about reality?
800
00:39:00,872 --> 00:39:03,640
The reality is,
I handed Mellie divorce papers.
801
00:39:03,642 --> 00:39:05,225
This has nothing to do with...
802
00:39:05,226 --> 00:39:06,809
you and I are now free to go out there,
803
00:39:06,812 --> 00:39:08,078
in front of the world, arm in arm.
804
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,447
I put our plan in motion,
805
00:39:10,449 --> 00:39:12,015
and now you seem to have changed your mind.
806
00:39:12,017 --> 00:39:14,384
I haven't changed my mind!
Then what is this?!
807
00:39:14,386 --> 00:39:15,885
You aren't thinking.
808
00:39:15,887 --> 00:39:17,821
Do you honestly believe this is the answer?
809
00:39:17,823 --> 00:39:19,756
Divorce papers, going public?!
810
00:39:19,758 --> 00:39:21,024
Yes, I do!
811
00:39:21,026 --> 00:39:23,693
We put this out into the light!
812
00:39:23,695 --> 00:39:24,861
We make this real!
813
00:39:24,863 --> 00:39:26,396
How can we possibly do that?
814
00:39:26,398 --> 00:39:29,366
The minute the world finds out about us,
815
00:39:29,368 --> 00:39:34,037
we stop being you and me
and we become a spectacle.
816
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,439
All that scrutiny, a billion eyes on us...
817
00:39:36,441 --> 00:39:37,974
we wouldn't have a chance.
818
00:39:37,976 --> 00:39:39,509
How can we make it work in public
819
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:41,043
when we can barely make it work in private?
820
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:44,047
It's not a solution, Fitz!
It's just another complication.
821
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:46,983
So, tell me how we do this.
822
00:39:52,758 --> 00:39:55,625
I want you.
823
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:58,461
I want us.
824
00:39:58,463 --> 00:40:00,630
But I want to slow down.
825
00:40:00,632 --> 00:40:05,869
I want our business handled.
I want our problems fixed.
826
00:40:05,871 --> 00:40:07,570
I want to be ready...
827
00:40:07,572 --> 00:40:09,990
before the world is watching,
828
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:12,409
because once it is,
once we're in that spotlight,
829
00:40:12,411 --> 00:40:16,613
being picked at and scrubbed and
stretched in every direction,
830
00:40:16,615 --> 00:40:17,731
we will never
831
00:40:17,732 --> 00:40:18,848
get the chance to make things right.
832
00:40:18,850 --> 00:40:21,151
If we are broken going in,
833
00:40:21,153 --> 00:40:24,621
we're not getting out, not together.
834
00:40:24,623 --> 00:40:26,689
They will destroy us.
835
00:40:26,691 --> 00:40:29,926
That's reality, Fitz.
836
00:40:44,209 --> 00:40:46,676
Okay.
837
00:40:52,217 --> 00:40:53,450
We wait.
838
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:00,824
Until we're ready.
839
00:41:12,504 --> 00:41:13,903
Sir...
840
00:41:13,905 --> 00:41:15,865
there's something you need to see.
841
00:41:21,246 --> 00:41:24,781
Lovers of liberty, the end of a fairy tale.
842
00:41:24,783 --> 00:41:27,584
Something is rotten within
the walls of our white house.
843
00:41:27,586 --> 00:41:29,586
Sources tell me that any marriage
844
00:41:29,588 --> 00:41:31,254
with the first lady of the United States,
845
00:41:31,256 --> 00:41:35,158
newly minted senator
Mellie Grant, is a charade.
846
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,193
I'm told she was not, in fact,
847
00:41:37,195 --> 00:41:39,162
too ill to attend the state dinner
848
00:41:39,163 --> 00:41:41,130
as we, the good, taxpaying
citizens of this nation,
849
00:41:41,132 --> 00:41:43,366
had been told.
850
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:45,601
I have it on good authority
that trusted adviser
851
00:41:45,604 --> 00:41:48,105
Olivia Pope
852
00:41:48,106 --> 00:41:50,607
has found her way into the President's bed.
853
00:41:50,609 --> 00:41:52,809
Before the high-minded liberal,
feminist elite media
854
00:41:52,811 --> 00:41:54,811
begins howling charges of slander,
855
00:41:54,813 --> 00:41:58,548
these are not merely rumors...
these are facts.
856
00:41:58,550 --> 00:42:00,216
Photos of ms. Pope
857
00:42:00,218 --> 00:42:03,786
lurking in the residence of
the white house after hours.
858
00:42:08,660 --> 00:42:10,293
Lovers of liberty, the time has come
859
00:42:10,295 --> 00:42:12,529
for this godless, immoral administration
860
00:42:12,531 --> 00:42:14,764
to answer for it's crimes.
861
00:42:14,766 --> 00:42:17,200
Yes, America's truth-seeking
freedom missiles
862
00:42:17,202 --> 00:42:18,701
are squarely locked on their target...
863
00:42:18,703 --> 00:42:20,703
you, mr. President.
864
00:42:20,705 --> 00:42:22,805
I see you, sir.
865
00:42:25,529 --> 00:42:27,529
