1
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,230
Who can tell me the biggest mistake
people make in a crisis?
2
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:37,340
- Mm-hmm?
- A failure to plan.
3
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,400
Crisis management isn't about planning.
4
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:41,840
It's about action.
Snap decisions in the moment.
5
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:44,680
An ineffective communication strategy.
6
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:45,980
Telling the truth.
7
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:50,080
People think we lie for a living.
8
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,420
But in fact,
9
00:00:51,580 --> 00:00:53,480
the truth is often our greatest weapon.
10
00:00:53,650 --> 00:00:54,920
Anyone else?
11
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,620
Not knowing they're in a crisis.
12
00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:02,630
Very good.
13
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:03,890
Miss...
14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,360
Keating.
15
00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:07,060
Annalise Keating.
16
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:13,900
Synced and corrected by BLuk
www.addic7ed.com
17
00:01:18,210 --> 00:01:21,680
- Ms. Pope.
- Ms. Keating.
18
00:01:21,750 --> 00:01:23,750
That was a very informed answer earlier.
19
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,020
Spoken from experience?
20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,180
I'm a defense attorney.
21
00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:28,340
I taught at Middleton Law School
for years.
22
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:30,950
Professor Keating...?
23
00:01:31,220 --> 00:01:33,860
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no.
24
00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:35,490
I'm happy that my own business
25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,660
never caught your attention.
26
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:40,100
I'm representing a class-action case
27
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:43,830
that has the potential
to reform our entire justice system.
28
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:45,800
I have about 100 plaintiffs...
29
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:48,040
all mostly poor, people of color...
30
00:01:48,110 --> 00:01:49,410
who have been incarcerated
31
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:51,340
due to underfunded public defenders.
32
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:53,800
The case was just shot down
by Pennsylvania courts.
33
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:55,060
Mm.
34
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:56,580
I wish you a lot of luck.
35
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:58,120
Luck?
36
00:01:58,180 --> 00:01:59,320
People's constitutional rights
37
00:01:59,390 --> 00:02:00,940
are being violated every single day
38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,150
in every courtroom across the country.
39
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:05,020
Luck is for cereal with marshmallows.
40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,090
I need your help.
41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,690
I'm not sure how I can.
42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,890
I'm not a practicing lawyer.
43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,160
I don't need another lawyer.
44
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:14,930
I need this case to be fast-tracked
45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
to the United States Supreme Court.
46
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:20,370
Oh.
47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,380
I don't know if you've heard,
48
00:02:21,470 --> 00:02:23,570
but I've been out of the White House
for a few months now.
49
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:25,280
The news said you left on good terms.
50
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:26,680
I did.
51
00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:29,619
But I'm sort of enjoying
my break from politics.
52
00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:31,080
Who's talking politics?
53
00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:32,450
I'm talking justice.
54
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:34,020
Ending the new Jim Crow.
55
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:35,690
Here, read this case file.
56
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:37,320
- I...
- Just look it over.
57
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:38,890
You can say no then.
58
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:45,730
Ms. Pope.
59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,630
Our country's in crisis.
60
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,400
Together we can fix it.
61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,710
I've rescheduled
Party-boy Banker for tomorrow,
62
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:03,820
so today we just have
Senator Embarrassing X-Ray
63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,280
and the oil lobbyist
with the little money-laundering sitch.
64
00:03:06,350 --> 00:03:07,779
I'm also converting all the machines
65
00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:09,850
to a stronger encryption protocol.
66
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:10,950
So that'll take us offline
for a few hours.
67
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:12,090
You just have to tell me when.
68
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,590
We were thinking maybe Friday night.
69
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:17,930
Quinn.
70
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,600
Did you hear anything we just said?
71
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:21,900
Uh, today is X-Ray Senator
and money laundry oil lobbyist.
72
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:23,530
Tomorrow is Party Boy Banker.
73
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,570
Also, Charlie reached out
to a couple of PI's
74
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,540
for extra help with all
the tails we're running.
75
00:03:27,610 --> 00:03:29,370
- We'll want to sit down with them.
- Mm-hmm.
76
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,340
- So, maybe next week, or...?
- Sure.
77
00:03:31,410 --> 00:03:32,410
Sooner would be better.
78
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,100
Fine.
79
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:34,780
Charlie can run point on that, right?
80
00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:36,680
Um... probably?
81
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:38,080
I'll check.
82
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,790
I'm sorry. Was there something else?
83
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:45,560
You're Googling Liv again, aren't you?
84
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,560
She's teaching college.
85
00:03:51,630 --> 00:03:52,660
Teaching?
86
00:03:52,730 --> 00:03:54,420
Well, you know what they say.
87
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:55,400
Those who can't do...
88
00:03:55,470 --> 00:03:56,900
You're bad.
89
00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:58,900
Liv's worse.
90
00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:00,070
Good riddance.
91
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:01,200
Right?
92
00:04:01,270 --> 00:04:02,870
Right.
93
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:17,540
Annalise Keating.
94
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,790
The Annalise Keating
showed up in your classroom.
95
00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:22,060
So you've heard of her?
96
00:04:22,130 --> 00:04:23,940
Liv, it's Annalise Keating.
97
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:25,830
Annalise Keating
the top defense attorney
98
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,900
and badass professor
from Middleton University in Philly?
99
00:04:28,970 --> 00:04:30,200
Of course.
100
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:32,770
I applied to law school there
because of her.
101
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:36,410
She's a beast.
102
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,110
Google says she's a criminal.
103
00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:40,410
She's been accused of some things.
104
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,410
- Mm.
- But haven't we all.
105
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,590
She wants my help on a case.
106
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:52,690
Class-action suit.
107
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,660
Defendants are incarcerated
due to over...
108
00:04:54,730 --> 00:04:55,860
Overworked public defenders.
109
00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:57,960
Yeah, I read about this.
110
00:04:58,030 --> 00:04:59,380
I brought the idea to Fitz,
111
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,470
but we got sidetracked
with another project.
112
00:05:02,630 --> 00:05:03,870
- You taking it on?
- No.
113
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:06,500
Are you serious?
114
00:05:06,570 --> 00:05:08,940
Black men going to prison
because their constitutional rights
115
00:05:09,010 --> 00:05:10,910
have been violated? Yeah, I'm serious.
116
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,380
Marcus, I'm not in the game anymore.
117
00:05:13,450 --> 00:05:15,410
Right.
118
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,450
You're a school teacher.
119
00:05:17,620 --> 00:05:19,020
Watch yourself.
120
00:05:25,490 --> 00:05:27,320
I just don't think I can do it.
121
00:05:27,390 --> 00:05:30,540
Then don't do it. Do nothing.
Waste your life. I got to go.
122
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:33,030
- Marcus, why do you...
- Why do I return your calls?
123
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:34,100
Show up for drinks?
124
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,700
Come over to watch the game?
125
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:37,070
Yeah.
126
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,000
After everything that happened,
127
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:43,670
why are you here?
128
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:47,940
We're black,
129
00:05:48,210 --> 00:05:50,380
which means I'll always be here for you,
130
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:52,110
and I'll always root for you.
131
00:05:54,890 --> 00:05:56,050
That's how we do.
132
00:06:45,310 --> 00:06:47,320
_
133
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:57,090
_
134
00:06:57,730 --> 00:06:59,730
_
135
00:07:06,050 --> 00:07:07,320
It's a good case.
136
00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:09,760
Your brief is strong,
the injustices are clear.
137
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,480
It's evident these prisoners'
constitutional rights
138
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,430
are being violated.
Some of their stories are quite moving.
139
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:15,800
I sense a "but" coming.
140
00:07:15,860 --> 00:07:17,000
But there is one problem.
141
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:18,200
You.
142
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:22,200
Annalise Keating
can't be the face of this.
143
00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:23,670
I did a little research.
144
00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:25,540
Murdered husband, stint in jail...
145
00:07:25,610 --> 00:07:27,770
I was wrongfully accused,
just like many of my plaintiffs.
146
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,380
Your tenure at Middleton was nullified.
147
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,040
You were almost disbarred
for alcoholism.
148
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:32,510
I'm sober now.
149
00:07:32,780 --> 00:07:34,750
Ms. Keating.
150
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:36,980
You'd be the national press'
featured entree
151
00:07:37,050 --> 00:07:39,340
for almost a month of news cycles.
152
00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:41,590
Arson charges for dinner,
murder for dessert.
153
00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:42,890
Even if I was able to spin
154
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,890
this rather colorful history of yours,
155
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,390
you'd still have to pull off a miracle
156
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:48,530
to get the Supreme Court
to come anywhere near this case.
157
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,190
So you're saying I'm a hot mess.
158
00:07:50,930 --> 00:07:51,960
Yes.
159
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:55,830
I thought you were able
to move mountains.
160
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:57,970
That's why I came here looking for you.
161
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,340
Your reputation was
supposed to speak for itself.
162
00:08:07,550 --> 00:08:09,350
Have a safe trip back to Philadelphia.
163
00:08:37,710 --> 00:08:38,680
If we're gonna work together,
164
00:08:38,681 --> 00:08:40,070
then there is one thing
you need to understand.
165
00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:42,480
This is my town, my game, my rules.
166
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,350
Understood?
167
00:08:45,420 --> 00:08:46,920
Understood.
168
00:08:57,700 --> 00:08:59,140
- This isn't a good idea.
- I know.
169
00:08:59,210 --> 00:09:00,840
- He doesn't want to see you.
- I know.
170
00:09:00,910 --> 00:09:01,980
I had nothing to do with this.
171
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,710
- We never talked.
- I know.
172
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,820
Hi.
173
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:18,520
How can I help you, Olivia?
174
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:23,460
Class-action suit.
175
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:24,630
100 plaintiffs.
176
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,660
Constitutional rights
are being violated.
177
00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:28,830
I'm familiar.
178
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:30,370
Why do you need our help?
179
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,540
It's a big case.
180
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,640
A huge fight.
181
00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:34,770
I can't do it alone.
182
00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:39,880
Olivia Pope asking for help.
183
00:09:40,050 --> 00:09:41,310
That's a first.
184
00:09:49,090 --> 00:09:51,190
I did not come here for forgiveness.
185
00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:59,500
I know you don't like me.
186
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:01,030
But I also know
187
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,430
that you want to change the world,
188
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:04,530
that it sickens you
189
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,600
that there are people in this country
190
00:10:06,670 --> 00:10:08,000
who are literally punished
191
00:10:08,070 --> 00:10:10,960
because of disadvantages
they were born into.
192
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:12,500
That is why you started
this institute...
193
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:13,640
to give them hope
194
00:10:13,710 --> 00:10:15,560
that their American nightmare
195
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,180
can become an American dream.
196
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:19,180
That's what you've done.
197
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:20,820
That's why I'm here.
198
00:10:21,090 --> 00:10:23,690
So, yes, Olivia Pope
199
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:27,520
is asking you, Fitz, for help.
200
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:29,020
Okay?
201
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:48,010
You got here early.
202
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,280
I'm not early.
203
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:51,780
Meeting doesn't start till 9:00.
204
00:10:51,950 --> 00:10:53,980
- That's right.
- Which makes you early.
205
00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:55,120
I'm not early.
206
00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:56,350
I'm ready.
207
00:10:56,420 --> 00:10:59,350
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
208
00:10:59,420 --> 00:11:01,320
Miss Pope, it is such an honor.
209
00:11:01,390 --> 00:11:03,200
This is my associate Michaela Pratt.
210
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,690
I cannot even begin to express
how much this means to me.
211
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:06,580
Except you just did.
212
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,680
It's nice to meet you, Michaela.
Annalise, this is Marcus Walker.
213
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,960
- Welcome to D.C., Ms. Keating.
- Thanks for having me.
214
00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:12,860
Morning, everyone.
215
00:11:12,890 --> 00:11:14,240
- Mr. President.
- Morning, sir.
216
00:11:14,350 --> 00:11:15,900
You must be Annalise.
217
00:11:15,970 --> 00:11:17,470
Yes. Hello, Mr. President.
218
00:11:17,540 --> 00:11:18,280
Call me Fitz.
219
00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:20,140
No, thank you, sir, Mr. President.
220
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,510
Hi, there. I'm...
221
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:23,640
- 44.
- Sorry?
222
00:11:23,710 --> 00:11:26,180
44... 44th President. 44.
223
00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:28,320
- That's me.
- Mr. President, before we get started,
224
00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:30,580
we wanted to thank you
for agreeing to help.
225
00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:31,720
This is issue is...
226
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:33,720
An important one. I know.
227
00:11:33,790 --> 00:11:35,990
Fortunately, President Grant
thinks so, too.
228
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,360
President Grant?
229
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:39,840
- That'd be the other President Grant.
- She agreed to meet with us?
230
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,190
She has.
231
00:11:41,260 --> 00:11:42,360
That's fantastic.
232
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:44,480
If we can get the White House
behind our case,
233
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,480
then the Supreme Court
will add us to their docket,
234
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:47,440
no question.
235
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,560
Let's get to work.
236
00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:55,280
Welcome. Come in. It's so nice to see
all of you. Fitz, Marcus.
237
00:11:55,310 --> 00:11:56,510
Madam President.
238
00:11:56,590 --> 00:11:58,590
Ms. Keating,
it's a pleasure to meet you.
239
00:11:58,660 --> 00:12:00,130
Is this your first time
in the White House?
240
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,500
It is. Thank you for meeting with us.
241
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:02,800
Thank you for coming.
242
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:04,930
I'm anxious to hear about
this case of yours.
243
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:12,470
All of these people are innocent?
244
00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:13,570
Who knows.
245
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,000
They were never given a fair defense
246
00:12:15,070 --> 00:12:16,370
because they couldn't afford one.
247
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,770
If we're able to get
the Supreme Court to hear their case,
248
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,110
if we're able to win it,
249
00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:22,440
we can change the system,
and we can do it now.
250
00:12:22,450 --> 00:12:24,250
You and I are in agreement, Ms. Keating.
251
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,180
The system does need to change.
252
00:12:27,450 --> 00:12:28,720
But it's not gonna happen this way.
253
00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:32,250
Madam President, it's a solid case,
if only the White House
254
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,260
put pressure on the justices to hear it.
255
00:12:34,390 --> 00:12:37,020
Don't get me wrong. I like the case.
I just don't like the court.
256
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:39,050
You put this case before
the current roster of judges,
257
00:12:39,060 --> 00:12:40,250
you won't win.
258
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,060
There are rumblings
259
00:12:41,061 --> 00:12:42,980
that at least a couple of
the more conservative judges
260
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:44,430
may be considering retirement.
261
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,900
Marsh, maybe Kensington.
262
00:12:45,970 --> 00:12:47,070
This time next year,
263
00:12:47,140 --> 00:12:48,170
you could be facing
a whole new ball game.
264
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,270
Next year?
265
00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:50,040
We don't even know
266
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,760
whether these judges are gonna retire.
267
00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:53,650
You're gonna delay
justice for these people
268
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:54,310
based on a rumor?
269
00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:55,910
Based on certainty.
270
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:57,950
The certainty that if we move forward
with this now,
271
00:12:57,980 --> 00:12:59,190
we will be shut down.
272
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:02,080
And all the work that you have done
will be for naught.
273
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:03,820
All the work I've done? Let me tell you
about the work that I've done.
274
00:13:03,890 --> 00:13:05,220
Madam President,
may I speak to you privately?
275
00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:07,300
- Olivia, let's not...
- No. It's okay.
276
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:07,890
Let's.
277
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,060
Please, uh, everyone, give us the room.
278
00:13:11,230 --> 00:13:12,330
Ms. Keating, thank you.
279
00:13:12,390 --> 00:13:13,830
I'm so sorry we couldn't
be more accommodating.
280
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,560
Madam President,
thank you for your time.
281
00:13:26,380 --> 00:13:28,170
Why did you agree to take this meeting
282
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,000
if you knew you were going to say no?
283
00:13:31,180 --> 00:13:32,310
First of all,
284
00:13:32,380 --> 00:13:34,160
I agreed to this meeting
as a favor to Fitz.
285
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:36,920
And secondly, I didn't say no.
286
00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:38,650
I said not now.
287
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,590
This is not the time to punish me.
288
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,590
You really think I'm that small?
289
00:13:43,660 --> 00:13:45,060
I think you're putting the brakes on
290
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,660
something you should want.
291
00:13:46,930 --> 00:13:48,030
And there has to be a reason.
292
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:50,280
I want this case to move forward
in a year
293
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:52,130
when it actually has a chance
of succeeding.
294
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,370
The only reason
you want this case to happen now
295
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,800
is because you need a win.
296
00:13:55,970 --> 00:13:57,040
You need a win
297
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,000
while there's still a chance for you
298
00:13:59,070 --> 00:14:01,310
to scrape back some influence
in this town.
299
00:14:01,380 --> 00:14:03,320
Beyond the occasional
teaching gig, that is.
300
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:05,710
Madam President, I don't...
301
00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:07,380
Go ahead. Tell me I'm wrong.
302
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,650
It wouldn't be the first time
you stood in this room
303
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,750
and lied to my face.
304
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:16,720
We're going to the Supreme Court
305
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:17,990
with or without you.
306
00:14:18,060 --> 00:14:20,690
You do that,
307
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,930
you will find yourself
308
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,900
an adversary of the White House.
309
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,840
Wouldn't be the first time
for that, either.
310
00:14:40,730 --> 00:14:41,900
Ooh, that was fast.
311
00:14:41,970 --> 00:14:44,110
Did the radiologist say yes
to the payoff,
312
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:45,680
or are we going to have
to turn the screws a little?
313
00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:47,780
I couldn't tell you.
Sounds juicy, though.
314
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,230
Oh.
315
00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:50,930
Sure is quiet around here.
316
00:14:50,970 --> 00:14:53,090
Everyone call in sick, or...?
317
00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:54,400
We're running down cases.
318
00:14:54,430 --> 00:14:57,230
So can I help you, Jake?
319
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,840
Admiral? Command?
320
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,270
What am I supposed to call you
these days anyway?
321
00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:03,470
There's a case making its way
322
00:15:03,510 --> 00:15:04,760
towards the Supreme Court, Perkins.
323
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,360
President Grant would prefer
that it stall out before it gets there.
324
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:08,820
And?
325
00:15:09,290 --> 00:15:12,190
You're coming to us when you have B613?
326
00:15:13,130 --> 00:15:14,560
I thought you'd take
a personal interest in this case.
327
00:15:14,730 --> 00:15:16,000
What's the case?
328
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,800
It's a criminal-justice reform
class-action
329
00:15:17,870 --> 00:15:19,470
championed by none other
than Olivia Pope.
330
00:15:19,830 --> 00:15:22,100
Yeah, well, that's going to be a big no.
331
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,040
I have no interest
332
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:24,870
in anything having to do
with Olivia Pope.
333
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,410
Mm. Your RSS feed begs to differ.
334
00:15:26,570 --> 00:15:28,160
How many articles about Olivia
have you read this month?
335
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,660
20? 30?
336
00:15:30,910 --> 00:15:32,640
You're spying on my Internet history?
337
00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:34,850
You and about 300 million
of your fellow citizens.
338
00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:36,150
Look, here's the deal.
339
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,150
If Liv's able to score a win
with this case,
340
00:15:38,220 --> 00:15:39,420
it'll clear a path for her
341
00:15:39,490 --> 00:15:40,590
right back into the halls of power.
342
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:42,320
Are you really gonna tell me
343
00:15:42,390 --> 00:15:44,720
you're willing to stand by
and let that happen?
344
00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:52,130
The President refused to help?
345
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:53,830
President Grant has made her decision.
346
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:55,530
Nothing we do now will change that.
347
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,830
She made that crystal clear.
348
00:15:56,900 --> 00:15:58,270
That's it?
349
00:15:59,420 --> 00:16:01,470
That's what I get
by having Olivia Pope on my team...
350
00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:02,770
resignation.
351
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,710
You were supposed to convince her.
352
00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:06,180
What happened when we left the room?
353
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:08,010
- It doesn't matter.
- It matters to me.
354
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,450
What'd you talk about?
355
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,920
What do you think we talked about?
356
00:16:12,990 --> 00:16:14,720
We talked about you.
357
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:16,820
Me?
358
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,380
You think the President
doesn't get a full briefing
359
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,260
on every person
who sets foot in her office,
360
00:16:20,330 --> 00:16:22,530
especially when that person's
got a past like yours?
361
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,350
Annalise, she'd made up her mind
362
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,060
before you even opened your mouth.
363
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,880
That woman is impossible!
364
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:37,020
She's passionate about the case.
365
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,100
And I'm not passionate about the case?
366
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,880
It's not my fault
367
00:16:40,950 --> 00:16:42,610
Mellie has chosen to be petty.
368
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,610
It's not Annalise's fault either.
369
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,150
Maybe I could go back
and try to change Mellie's mind.
370
00:16:47,420 --> 00:16:49,550
- Or maybe we don't need Mellie.
- What?
371
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:51,550
Cut out the middle man.
372
00:16:51,620 --> 00:16:53,520
Put pressure on
the Supreme Court ourselves.
373
00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:54,540
The Fourteenth Amendment
374
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:56,330
guarantees equal protection
under the law.
375
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,730
Which is simply impossible
376
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,860
if public defenders
377
00:16:58,930 --> 00:17:00,660
are unable to meet the same standards
378
00:17:00,730 --> 00:17:02,630
as their privately paid counterparts.
379
00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:05,740
The Supreme Court must act
to correct that injustice...
380
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,800
You need a majority
381
00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:08,420
to win a case in The Supreme Court.
382
00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:10,840
But to have it heard
only takes four judges.
383
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:11,940
Stupid "rule of four."
384
00:17:12,010 --> 00:17:14,110
Justice Gutierrez has already expressed
385
00:17:14,180 --> 00:17:15,440
his support for Team Liv.
386
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:16,880
She only needs three more.
387
00:17:16,950 --> 00:17:17,980
Luckily, Kensington and Marsh
388
00:17:18,050 --> 00:17:19,220
are super into states' rights.
389
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,540
There's no way
they'd entertain this case.
390
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,150
Which leaves these six.
391
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:23,790
We get four of them on our side,
392
00:17:23,860 --> 00:17:25,220
and Annalise Keating is done.
393
00:17:25,290 --> 00:17:27,790
Of course Justice Ribas believes
in the right to counsel,
394
00:17:27,860 --> 00:17:29,420
but the Constitution
doesn't say anything
395
00:17:29,530 --> 00:17:31,190
about the right to good counsel.
396
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,260
She's a strict constitutionalist.
397
00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:34,560
You don't say.
398
00:17:34,730 --> 00:17:37,330
Public defenders
are overworked and underpaid,
399
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,270
resulting in an inordinate
amount of plea deals.
400
00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:42,300
Innocent people
are willfully going to jail
401
00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:43,810
simply because they're poor.
402
00:17:43,870 --> 00:17:45,140
There's no doubt the system is broken.
403
00:17:45,210 --> 00:17:46,310
But should the federal government
404
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:47,780
get involved in a state program?
405
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,780
Absolutely not.
406
00:17:48,850 --> 00:17:50,680
Which is why we'll rule
to send the case back
407
00:17:50,750 --> 00:17:52,280
to the Pennsylvania circuit court.
408
00:17:52,450 --> 00:17:53,680
I'm sorry, Mr. Walker,
409
00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:55,770
but I have a more pressing matter
to attend to.
410
00:17:55,790 --> 00:17:57,020
Your Honor what could be more pressing
411
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,380
than 90% of defendants
412
00:17:58,420 --> 00:18:00,320
being unable to afford
competent counsel?
413
00:18:01,990 --> 00:18:03,390
- Oh.
- Excuse me.
414
00:18:03,460 --> 00:18:05,530
Hold tight.
415
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,660
Justice Bass?
416
00:18:08,260 --> 00:18:09,730
Three down. One to go.
417
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,230
So it all rests on...
418
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:12,470
Justice Mark Spivey.
419
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:14,300
Of course. He's always the swing vote.
420
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:16,000
A wild card.
There's no telling what he'll do.
421
00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:18,110
And he never reveals
how he's ruling beforehand.
422
00:18:18,270 --> 00:18:19,840
Just got off the phone
with Spivey's law clerk,
423
00:18:19,910 --> 00:18:20,860
and he agrees with you, Liv.
424
00:18:20,940 --> 00:18:23,220
With a little more media push,
he can be swayed.
425
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,200
Good. Let's set up a sit-down
for me and Noah Baker.
426
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,380
I don't think that's a good idea.
427
00:18:26,420 --> 00:18:28,580
No, you're right. It should be a woman.
428
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:30,620
Maybe Francesca Hunter?
429
00:18:30,690 --> 00:18:31,979
No, I mean I don't think
it's a good idea
430
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:33,290
for you to do the interview.
431
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:34,390
I should do it.
432
00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:36,520
- You?
- Yes.
433
00:18:36,590 --> 00:18:37,880
It's my case. Put me on camera.
434
00:18:38,330 --> 00:18:40,830
If I do that, they will tear you apart.
435
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:42,060
Bring up all your past sins.
436
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:43,530
Fine. Bring it on.
437
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,930
I'm tired of hiding in the shadows.
438
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,830
Truth is our greatest weapon.
You said so yourself.
439
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,100
Truth can be unpredictable.
At this point, what's most important
440
00:18:49,170 --> 00:18:51,540
is staying on message
and selling this to Justice Spivey.
441
00:18:51,610 --> 00:18:53,210
Just like you sold it
to President Grant?
442
00:18:59,510 --> 00:19:02,350
- Are you questioning my tactics?
- Should I be?
443
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,080
How about you both do the interview?
444
00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:06,220
Together.
445
00:19:07,790 --> 00:19:08,860
Excuse me?
446
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,890
Annalise, you can convey
the passion behind the case.
447
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,130
Tug at Spivey's heartstrings.
448
00:19:12,190 --> 00:19:13,530
And if the interview
begins to take a turn
449
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,660
towards personal issues,
450
00:19:14,730 --> 00:19:16,500
then Ms. Pope, you can steer it back
451
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,620
to what's most important... this case.
452
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,270
Right?
453
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,980
That's exactly what I was gonna say.
454
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:32,010
Okay.
455
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,510
Fine.
456
00:19:36,980 --> 00:19:38,250
Thank God.
457
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,950
If we do this right,
458
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:41,190
this interview could be the push
459
00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:42,490
that Spivey needs to hear the case.
460
00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:44,350
- I'll set it up.
- I'll call Spivey's people
461
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,120
- to make sure he's watching.
- Great.
462
00:19:52,170 --> 00:19:56,530
Please tell me you know
a good hairdresser.
463
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,240
You're telling me Spivey is clean?
464
00:20:00,410 --> 00:20:02,970
No weird porn searches?
Not even a creepy library book?
465
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,210
Guy's so clean it's freaky.
466
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,380
If we can't hamstring Spivey,
we could be in trouble.
467
00:20:06,650 --> 00:20:07,950
Liv's killing it in the media.
468
00:20:08,010 --> 00:20:09,080
The public wants reform.
469
00:20:09,150 --> 00:20:10,280
Olivia thinks she can get away
470
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:12,050
with ramming it down
the Supreme Court's throat.
471
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:13,180
I mean, why not, right?
472
00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:14,620
She's gotten away with everything else.
473
00:20:14,790 --> 00:20:16,350
That's Liv, though.
Nothing ever sticks to her.
474
00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:18,140
There's got to be
dirt on Spivey somewhere.
475
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,560
Maybe he's just a man of principle.
476
00:20:19,630 --> 00:20:21,950
- Or he's smart.
- Charlie's right. He is smart.
477
00:20:21,980 --> 00:20:24,930
Smart enough to store his dirty laundry
on a separate server.
478
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,100
Find it.
479
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:29,170
Thank you.
480
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:33,940
They haven't found
anything on Justice Spivey?
481
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:35,740
They're still looking.
482
00:20:35,810 --> 00:20:36,840
They're good.
483
00:20:36,910 --> 00:20:38,040
We'll get something we can use
484
00:20:38,110 --> 00:20:39,180
to nudge him over
to our side of the fence.
485
00:20:39,250 --> 00:20:41,910
- Our side of the fence. Wonderful.
- Yes, ma'am.
486
00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:43,310
What about her?
487
00:20:43,380 --> 00:20:46,450
- Her?
- She will find a way.
488
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,220
Even if we get Spivey on our side,
489
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:50,690
Olivia will find a way
to turn the tide against us.
490
00:20:50,860 --> 00:20:53,620
Again. It's what she does. She wins.
491
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:55,360
Not without the White House
in her corner.
492
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,160
Pay attention. We are in her corner.
493
00:20:57,230 --> 00:20:58,600
I let her resign.
494
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,700
I let her keep her dignity.
495
00:21:00,770 --> 00:21:03,030
Everyone still thinks
that Olivia Pope is Olivia Pope.
496
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:05,370
Competent, trusted,
right hand of the King.
497
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,070
Because I let her stay Olivia Pope.
498
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,070
I didn't crush her.
499
00:21:11,140 --> 00:21:13,180
And this is my reward.
500
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,150
No good deed...
501
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,980
You had to help her.
502
00:21:18,050 --> 00:21:19,559
If the public
knew the true circumstances
503
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,250
behind Olivia Pope's dismissal,
it wouldn't have simply hurt her.
504
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,420
- It would have hurt us, too.
- A flesh wound.
505
00:21:25,490 --> 00:21:26,720
We would have found a way
to deal with it
506
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,820
one way or the other.
507
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,330
At the end of the day,
we would've been fine.
508
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,970
We will be fine.
509
00:21:37,670 --> 00:21:38,700
Ma'am, if you're suggesting
510
00:21:38,770 --> 00:21:40,070
that we leak that information now...
511
00:21:40,140 --> 00:21:41,610
Us? The White House?
512
00:21:41,670 --> 00:21:43,010
Leak Liv's firing?
513
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,610
That would be beneath us.
514
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,110
But you are working
with her old team, yes?
515
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:49,750
I am.
516
00:21:51,650 --> 00:21:53,180
Is it beneath them?
517
00:21:55,990 --> 00:21:57,320
Yes, Madam President.
518
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:05,210
So she shows up at his house
at 2:00 a.m.
519
00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:06,720
with the other girl in the back seat?
520
00:22:06,750 --> 00:22:09,140
Yes, girl. Then, they started fighting.
521
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,050
It was all some straight up
ratchet mess.
522
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,180
That's how your family do though.
523
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,950
No, that's just one cousin.
They are not all like that.
524
00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:17,420
Everybody got one hood cousin.
525
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,490
- Or aunt.
- Or uncle who used to be a pimp.
526
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,620
- And then found Jesus.
- Oh, I got two of those.
527
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,560
Can you turn that up?
528
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,800
Sources are saying that
529
00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:39,180
former Chief of Staff
Olivia Pope's interest
530
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,470
in the criminal-justice
class-action suit
531
00:22:41,540 --> 00:22:44,800
is based on a personal vendetta
against President Grant
532
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,310
due to Ms. Pope's being ousted
from the White House.
533
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:49,680
I can neither confirm nor deny rumors
534
00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:51,500
that Olivia Pope was fired
from the White House.
535
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,850
But I will say that President Grant
536
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,450
will not be working with Ms. Pope
537
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,260
on any recent or future endeavors.
538
00:23:00,030 --> 00:23:01,530
You said you left on good terms,
539
00:23:01,590 --> 00:23:02,890
that I was the problem with this case.
540
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,860
But really, it's you.
541
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,840
You lied to me.
542
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,240
Can you give us a minute?
543
00:23:14,770 --> 00:23:16,270
So?
544
00:23:16,340 --> 00:23:17,510
Is it true?
545
00:23:17,580 --> 00:23:19,010
I didn't lie.
546
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,680
My resignation was complicated.
547
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:22,210
Sounds like more spin to me.
548
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,300
You came to me asking for my help...
549
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,020
Because I thought you had
a bite behind that bark.
550
00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:27,480
But instead I found a siddity phony
551
00:23:27,550 --> 00:23:29,680
who judged me from the minute
she laid eyes on me.
552
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,490
- I never judged you.
- Oh, you judged me immediately.
553
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,560
Just like a white man in a boardroom
554
00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:35,440
looking down on me
555
00:23:35,441 --> 00:23:37,820
because my hips are too wide
and my hue too dark.
556
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,760
- Oh, so we're going there. Wow.
- You think we soul sisters
557
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:43,070
just 'cause you rented out
a hair salon for a few hours
558
00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:45,100
on the black side of town? Please.
559
00:23:45,370 --> 00:23:48,600
I've dealt with plenty
of bougie-ass black women just like you.
560
00:23:48,670 --> 00:23:50,540
Spent most of your life
in boarding school,
561
00:23:50,610 --> 00:23:51,740
Ivy League Universities,
562
00:23:51,810 --> 00:23:52,899
with a horse between your legs
563
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:54,480
and a silver spoon in your mouth.
564
00:23:54,650 --> 00:23:56,310
You're not the only one
who knows how to Google.
565
00:23:58,550 --> 00:24:01,250
You called me a hot mess, remember?
566
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,520
But it sounds to me
567
00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:05,379
that despite all of your failed attempts
568
00:24:05,380 --> 00:24:08,520
to stand above me
on your little pedestal,
569
00:24:08,590 --> 00:24:11,160
we're the same.
570
00:24:11,230 --> 00:24:14,800
So keep it real, Olivia Pope.
571
00:24:15,170 --> 00:24:16,570
Why'd you leave the White House?
572
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,700
You know, your skin tone
and measurements
573
00:24:22,770 --> 00:24:25,170
aren't the reason people don't like you.
574
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,080
It's you, Annalise Keating.
575
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:31,820
You are a bully who insults people
576
00:24:31,850 --> 00:24:33,400
and then wonders
why they won't help you.
577
00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:34,720
But hey, you're just
trying to keep it real?
578
00:24:34,780 --> 00:24:36,120
Right?
579
00:24:36,190 --> 00:24:38,300
How's that working out for you?
Can't be that great
580
00:24:38,340 --> 00:24:41,600
if you had to haul
your broke ass on the Megabus
581
00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:43,460
to beg for my help.
582
00:24:43,530 --> 00:24:46,060
You may think you know who I am
and what I'm about,
583
00:24:46,130 --> 00:24:47,430
but don't get it twisted.
584
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:49,160
We are not the same.
585
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,230
So allow me to reintroduce myself.
586
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,680
My name is Olivia Pope.
587
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:55,840
And I don't have
to explain myself to anyone.
588
00:24:55,910 --> 00:24:57,440
Especially you.
589
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,180
Kevin, you can come back.
590
00:25:06,550 --> 00:25:08,480
We're done.
591
00:25:09,150 --> 00:25:10,650
Don't worry about your wash and press.
592
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,420
I'll be sure to put that
593
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,180
on my siddity-ass,
no limit, platinum card.
594
00:25:13,260 --> 00:25:15,620
- I'll pay for my own damn hair.
- Okay.
595
00:25:20,830 --> 00:25:22,400
Still no comment from Olivia Pope
596
00:25:22,460 --> 00:25:23,730
on the allegations
597
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,430
that she was fired from the White House.
598
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:27,600
Insiders in Washington
are left speculating
599
00:25:27,670 --> 00:25:28,940
about what could've happened
600
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,640
behind the closed doors of the Oval,
601
00:25:30,910 --> 00:25:32,270
how Pope became a pariah,
602
00:25:32,340 --> 00:25:33,570
and why she lied about it
603
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,340
in her resignation announcement.
604
00:25:35,410 --> 00:25:37,180
- The White House...
- Can you believe this?
605
00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:38,610
The White House is playing dirty.
606
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,680
It wasn't the White House.
607
00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:45,180
- ...With more questions than answers...
- This was you?
608
00:25:45,450 --> 00:25:46,650
Well, Quinn technically.
609
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:47,890
Me by proxy.
610
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,290
Oh. Okay. So that's a yes.
611
00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:52,530
It wasn't personal.
612
00:25:52,590 --> 00:25:53,690
She needed to be stopped
613
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,960
for the greater good of our nation.
614
00:25:55,130 --> 00:25:55,860
Stopped?
615
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,740
She's trying to reform
our justice system,
616
00:25:57,770 --> 00:25:59,060
which as Attorney General
of the United Sta...
617
00:25:59,130 --> 00:26:01,600
Mellie wants the same reform.
Just on a safer timeline.
618
00:26:01,670 --> 00:26:04,540
Sure, but maybe playing it safe
is the problem.
619
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:06,740
I respect President Grant's reasoning,
620
00:26:06,810 --> 00:26:08,010
but a "safe timeline"
621
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,860
is not sending someone away for 20 years
622
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:11,610
on a simple possession charge.
623
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,010
But there was a narrative
624
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,980
that is now being called into question.
625
00:26:15,350 --> 00:26:17,480
- Abby...
- What?
626
00:26:17,550 --> 00:26:19,120
It's okay to miss her.
627
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:21,220
...With the White House,
or a calculated move...
628
00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:23,920
I don't miss her.
I just don't trust her. Okay?
629
00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:25,290
Okay.
630
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,590
What is it that you think
you're gonna get out of this?
631
00:26:58,120 --> 00:26:59,460
Right now, at the moment,
632
00:26:59,530 --> 00:27:00,960
I'd be happy just to find my keys.
633
00:27:01,230 --> 00:27:02,490
Oh, would you look at that.
634
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:04,260
Now, move, please.
635
00:27:04,330 --> 00:27:05,860
You're on the wrong side
of this fight, Quinn.
636
00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:10,070
I'm on the only side that matters...
my client's.
637
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,470
Your client? The White House?
638
00:27:11,540 --> 00:27:13,400
That's who you're working with
to deny the rights
639
00:27:13,470 --> 00:27:16,270
of 90 wrongfully imprisoned
people, right?
640
00:27:18,010 --> 00:27:20,640
I'm not the media, Liv.
641
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:22,650
You're not going to spin me.
642
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,800
You're not here
because you care about those people.
643
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,120
You got kicked out of the game
and you want back in.
644
00:27:27,190 --> 00:27:29,520
Don't pretend you have anything on your
mind other than you.
645
00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:31,920
Quinn...
646
00:27:32,290 --> 00:27:33,290
Is that funny?
647
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,460
It's not funny.
648
00:27:34,530 --> 00:27:35,830
It's ironic.
649
00:27:36,190 --> 00:27:38,260
You're not here for your client.
650
00:27:38,330 --> 00:27:39,530
You're here for me.
651
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:41,700
You're here for revenge.
652
00:27:43,170 --> 00:27:45,700
And so what if I am?
653
00:27:45,770 --> 00:27:47,700
I'd say I'm more than a little bit due,
654
00:27:47,770 --> 00:27:49,070
wouldn't you?
655
00:27:49,140 --> 00:27:53,040
You said your QPA
would be about justice.
656
00:27:53,110 --> 00:27:55,220
Don't let go of that.
657
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,250
Don't compromise yourself
just because you hate me.
658
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,480
You're really gonna want to walk away
659
00:28:00,550 --> 00:28:02,090
before I do something I regret.
660
00:28:02,150 --> 00:28:03,820
You already have.
661
00:28:03,890 --> 00:28:05,290
You took the case.
662
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:07,420
I guarantee one way or the other,
663
00:28:07,490 --> 00:28:09,060
you will come to regret it.
664
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,940
Do you need anything?
665
00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:30,260
What?
666
00:28:30,380 --> 00:28:34,610
Do you need anything
for your interview tomorrow?
667
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:36,280
No.
668
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,920
You're not gonna win this thing.
669
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:46,120
I'll do what I can with the interview.
670
00:28:46,190 --> 00:28:48,560
But I can only spin so much.
It won't be enough.
671
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,760
She has problems.
672
00:28:53,830 --> 00:28:55,030
Big problems
673
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,050
that she needs to return
to Philadelphia with
674
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,350
as soon as humanly possible.
675
00:28:58,380 --> 00:28:59,170
That woman...
676
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,470
I think the only one with
big problems here is you.
677
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:04,210
Fitz, I'm in no mood.
678
00:29:04,270 --> 00:29:05,470
Neither am I.
679
00:29:10,010 --> 00:29:12,610
You know how important this is.
680
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,020
You know how long it's taken
for us to get here.
681
00:29:16,190 --> 00:29:17,720
And I am very sorry,
but Annalise Keating...
682
00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:20,620
Oh, for the love...
This is not about Annalise Keating.
683
00:29:20,890 --> 00:29:23,890
This is about Olivia Pope.
684
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,160
Where the hell is she?
685
00:29:27,030 --> 00:29:28,930
You saw the news.
686
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:30,970
It's over.
687
00:29:31,030 --> 00:29:32,630
I don't accept that.
688
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,070
You don't accept that.
689
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,910
A couple of reporters going on TV
saying mean things about you?
690
00:29:37,970 --> 00:29:39,370
How unique. How different.
691
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,410
Rare air you're breathing right now.
692
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,240
Olivia Pope versus the White House?
693
00:29:43,310 --> 00:29:44,980
That's new.
694
00:29:45,050 --> 00:29:47,039
You forced to work with someone
you can't stand,
695
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,020
someone you disagree with,
696
00:29:48,021 --> 00:29:50,150
someone who calls you on your crap?
697
00:29:50,620 --> 00:29:53,620
Done it before, Liv,
sailed through it before,
698
00:29:53,790 --> 00:29:55,290
and you never folded.
699
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,980
Not once.
700
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,930
So why now are you sitting there,
701
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,930
- acting like...
- Because I'm not that person anymore.
702
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,500
I'm no longer the woman you...
703
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,070
Things are different now, Fitz.
704
00:30:10,340 --> 00:30:11,470
Why did you take this case?
705
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,140
Olivia.
706
00:30:15,310 --> 00:30:16,410
Answer the question.
707
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,540
Because it matters.
708
00:30:17,610 --> 00:30:19,610
I took this case because it matters.
709
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:20,660
Because you want to change the world.
710
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,250
Because I want to change the world.
711
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:24,420
Okay?
712
00:30:24,690 --> 00:30:26,990
Okay.
713
00:30:27,250 --> 00:30:28,650
There you are.
714
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,460
You're still you.
715
00:30:37,530 --> 00:30:41,870
They just don't see it.
716
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:43,030
You just don't see it.
717
00:31:08,930 --> 00:31:10,260
What is that?
718
00:31:10,330 --> 00:31:12,600
Just a little something that
might make you feel better.
719
00:31:17,270 --> 00:31:18,900
- Abby!
- What?
720
00:31:18,970 --> 00:31:20,640
Charlie found dirt on Spivey.
721
00:31:20,710 --> 00:31:22,810
Oh-ho.
722
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,240
Oh, this is good.
723
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:25,940
There's a reason this guy
kept his secrets buried deep.
724
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,650
The White House will control Spivey
with that information.
725
00:31:28,710 --> 00:31:29,910
Liv is never gonna know what hit her.
726
00:31:29,980 --> 00:31:33,450
She is done.
727
00:31:36,990 --> 00:31:38,150
What?
728
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:39,520
I don't know. It's just...
729
00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:42,390
I'm all for playing dirty.
But we're gladiators, right?
730
00:31:42,460 --> 00:31:44,500
When we play dirty,
it's for a good reason.
731
00:31:44,530 --> 00:31:46,160
This is a good reason.
732
00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:47,630
Of course it is.
733
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,440
Right.
734
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:01,380
I think you'll be happy
735
00:32:01,381 --> 00:32:03,080
with what we found on Justice Spivey.
736
00:32:03,140 --> 00:32:04,880
Pretty much speaks for itself.
737
00:32:05,150 --> 00:32:06,480
This is good stuff, Perkins.
738
00:32:06,550 --> 00:32:08,450
- I knew you'd come through.
- Hey.
739
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,920
You never told me...
740
00:32:10,190 --> 00:32:12,250
why's the President
so against a case like this
741
00:32:12,260 --> 00:32:13,390
getting to the Supreme Court?
742
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,560
You thought this was about the case?
743
00:32:15,630 --> 00:32:17,990
No, I...
744
00:32:18,060 --> 00:32:20,200
We got the chance
to finally check Olivia Pope.
745
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,900
It's what we all wanted, isn't it?
746
00:32:22,170 --> 00:32:23,530
Yeah.
747
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:24,770
Of course.
748
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,340
You have a good day, Perkins.
749
00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:47,990
You sure this is a good idea?
750
00:32:48,060 --> 00:32:49,790
Not really.
751
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,690
Ms. Pope and Ms. Keating,
thank you for joining us.
752
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:55,060
Now, before we get into this case,
753
00:32:55,130 --> 00:32:57,400
there's a new story we can't ignore
754
00:32:57,470 --> 00:32:59,270
and we'd very much like
to get your response to,
755
00:32:59,340 --> 00:33:00,370
Ms. Pope.
756
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,420
Were you fired by President Grant?
757
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,960
Yes. I was.
758
00:33:05,010 --> 00:33:07,940
Why were you fired?
759
00:33:08,010 --> 00:33:10,680
Difficult challenges
mean difficult decisions,
760
00:33:10,750 --> 00:33:13,180
having to choose between
the bad or the worse.
761
00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:15,440
Stakes are high.
Inevitably someone gets hurt.
762
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,420
That time it was me.
763
00:33:17,490 --> 00:33:19,950
Do you regret how you handled anything,
764
00:33:19,980 --> 00:33:21,890
specifically while you were
in the White House?
765
00:33:22,260 --> 00:33:24,720
I regret
766
00:33:24,790 --> 00:33:26,530
that my relationship
with President Grant
767
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,930
dissolved to the point of my dismissal,
768
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:31,460
that ties were severed
769
00:33:31,530 --> 00:33:33,300
between the people I am closest with.
770
00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:36,500
People I have served.
People I have mentored.
771
00:33:36,670 --> 00:33:39,170
People I still love.
772
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,110
But I am a fighter.
773
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,680
So I don't regret the fight.
774
00:33:42,740 --> 00:33:44,710
I can't. It's who I am.
775
00:33:44,980 --> 00:33:46,180
It's what I do.
776
00:33:46,350 --> 00:33:50,150
And luckily, I am not alone.
777
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,550
Next to me is one of
the most courageous fighters
778
00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:54,650
I have ever met.
779
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,190
I am just as proud to be in the service
780
00:33:56,260 --> 00:33:58,150
of her fight to get this case heard
781
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,530
by the highest court of the land
782
00:33:59,590 --> 00:34:01,530
as anything I have ever done.
783
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,260
And while I understand
the interest in me,
784
00:34:04,330 --> 00:34:05,600
I have lost very little
785
00:34:05,630 --> 00:34:06,770
compared to the men and women...
786
00:34:06,830 --> 00:34:07,900
many of them innocent...
787
00:34:07,970 --> 00:34:10,000
stuck in prison for decades
788
00:34:10,170 --> 00:34:12,440
because of an inadequate defense
789
00:34:12,610 --> 00:34:14,400
provided by our legal system.
790
00:34:14,410 --> 00:34:15,970
So I respectfully ask the public,
791
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,280
including you, Francesca,
792
00:34:17,340 --> 00:34:18,810
to shift focus to what matters...
793
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,910
the fight to reform
our criminal-justice system.
794
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,850
And the woman
who is leading that charge,
795
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,450
fighting that fight for all of us.
796
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,950
Annalise Keating.
797
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,820
All right then.
798
00:34:30,990 --> 00:34:32,960
Annalise?
799
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:35,160
Now is the time.
800
00:34:35,630 --> 00:34:37,860
We can't wait another political season,
801
00:34:37,930 --> 00:34:39,230
another month, another day.
802
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:41,800
There are people rotting in prison
803
00:34:41,870 --> 00:34:44,800
because of a judicial system
that's messed up.
804
00:34:44,870 --> 00:34:45,900
All we're asking
805
00:34:45,970 --> 00:34:47,910
is for an hour of the court's time
806
00:34:47,970 --> 00:34:50,340
to hear our case, make a decision.
807
00:34:50,510 --> 00:34:53,580
Help us do that. Please.
808
00:34:58,050 --> 00:34:59,620
I think what Ms. Pope and Ms. Keating
809
00:34:59,690 --> 00:35:01,750
said about the current state
of our justice system
810
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,990
was exactly right, Mike.
811
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,900
It is a travesty... plain and simple.
812
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,320
And if the Supreme Court
doesn't hear this case,
813
00:35:07,390 --> 00:35:08,440
it'd be a damn shame.
814
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,630
- Damn right.
- Hopefully Justice Spivey agrees.
815
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:12,300
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, no thank you.
816
00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:13,830
Oh, I-I...
817
00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:15,300
Right.
818
00:35:15,370 --> 00:35:17,230
- I didn't mean to...
- It's fine. Don't let me stop you.
819
00:35:19,370 --> 00:35:21,170
Popcorn and wine together?
820
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:22,740
Yeah, it's kind of my thing.
821
00:35:22,910 --> 00:35:25,510
Looks like a Megabus special
if you ask me.
822
00:35:25,580 --> 00:35:28,080
Mm. More like a siddity snack.
823
00:35:33,390 --> 00:35:34,790
Marcus.
824
00:35:37,590 --> 00:35:39,790
Any update on Spivey?
825
00:35:39,860 --> 00:35:41,160
Yeah, he saw the interview.
826
00:35:41,230 --> 00:35:42,460
It didn't change his mind.
827
00:35:42,530 --> 00:35:43,660
He won't hear the case.
828
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:46,100
Thanks.
829
00:35:51,870 --> 00:35:54,340
I'm sorry.
830
00:35:54,410 --> 00:35:56,040
We have a very conservative
bench right now...
831
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:59,540
After all of that,
to be so close and still...
832
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,980
I'm sorry.
833
00:36:06,050 --> 00:36:07,280
They only need four justices
834
00:36:07,350 --> 00:36:09,720
- to get the case heard.
- Right. It's the rule of four.
835
00:36:09,790 --> 00:36:12,880
So Bass and Gutierrez...
they'll vote for this in a heartbeat.
836
00:36:14,950 --> 00:36:16,680
I wanted to be President.
837
00:36:16,850 --> 00:36:17,900
Growing up, it's all I thought about.
838
00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:19,380
Or at least a senator.
839
00:36:19,650 --> 00:36:21,350
I had this vision of D.C.
840
00:36:21,420 --> 00:36:23,420
as a place full of
attractive young people,
841
00:36:23,490 --> 00:36:26,190
going to fancy galas,
and trying to do good in the world.
842
00:36:26,460 --> 00:36:28,720
Instead, it's like an uglier Philly
843
00:36:28,790 --> 00:36:31,660
with a bunch of narcissistic,
power-hungry cowards.
844
00:36:31,930 --> 00:36:33,960
Hey now... who you calling ugly?
845
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,600
Well, I didn't say everyone.
846
00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:47,980
Damn.
847
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,540
Strong?
848
00:36:49,910 --> 00:36:51,940
That's why I've been coming here
since I was 16.
849
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:53,850
You're from here?
850
00:36:53,910 --> 00:36:55,910
This is the neighborhood.
851
00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:57,350
Good for you for getting out.
852
00:37:00,690 --> 00:37:03,160
You know, I may live and work
in the other D.C. now.
853
00:37:03,220 --> 00:37:05,760
But everything I've done,
everything I've worked for,
854
00:37:05,930 --> 00:37:07,660
I've done because of this place...
855
00:37:07,930 --> 00:37:09,320
Because I grew up around
856
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,840
the hardest-working people in America,
857
00:37:10,860 --> 00:37:12,500
who got the worst treatment,
858
00:37:12,570 --> 00:37:14,430
and I want to do something
to change that.
859
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:16,400
I'll never stop working for them.
860
00:37:16,670 --> 00:37:19,400
Just like you'll never stop
fighting for your case
861
00:37:19,470 --> 00:37:20,540
in whatever way you can.
862
00:37:21,220 --> 00:37:23,510
This place has my heart.
863
00:37:23,580 --> 00:37:26,240
Unless it takes my liver.
864
00:37:32,020 --> 00:37:33,550
Anyway, we had a crap day.
865
00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:35,480
Sorry for making you come
to a place like this.
866
00:37:35,490 --> 00:37:39,620
No. I'm liking this bar.
867
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,000
Asher.
868
00:37:48,070 --> 00:37:50,270
Cool name.
869
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,570
I... I should get going.
870
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,400
Uh, we're... we're probably
heading home tomorrow,
871
00:37:55,540 --> 00:37:58,340
and, so, I need to pack.
872
00:37:58,410 --> 00:38:01,480
Um...
873
00:38:01,550 --> 00:38:02,910
Thank you for the drink.
874
00:38:30,180 --> 00:38:31,720
Spivey's decision wasn't based
875
00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:32,940
on the merits of the case.
876
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:38,210
Charlie found it.
877
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,879
I gave it to Jake. I'm sure he used it.
878
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:40,950
He must have.
879
00:38:41,020 --> 00:38:42,690
There's no way Spivey saw
that interview last night
880
00:38:42,750 --> 00:38:44,080
without being affected by it.
881
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,590
If you could find a way
to make that story disappear,
882
00:38:46,860 --> 00:38:48,720
maybe you'd get a different result.
883
00:38:48,790 --> 00:38:53,430
To be clear, I did not do this for you.
884
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,700
You were right.
885
00:38:55,870 --> 00:38:59,330
I did say my QPA would be about justice.
886
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,840
Now, it still is.
887
00:39:10,450 --> 00:39:11,480
Justice Spivey?
888
00:39:11,550 --> 00:39:12,880
Ms. Pope.
889
00:39:13,150 --> 00:39:14,380
Now, should I tell you up front
890
00:39:14,650 --> 00:39:16,220
that your visit is futile,
891
00:39:16,290 --> 00:39:18,220
or would you like me
to pretend for a while?
892
00:39:18,290 --> 00:39:19,640
I don't want you to pretend.
893
00:39:19,740 --> 00:39:21,820
I do want you to change your vote.
894
00:39:21,890 --> 00:39:23,060
I can't do that.
895
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,100
Actually, you can now.
896
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:33,440
Six years ago,
897
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,300
your son killed a woman
in a hit and run.
898
00:39:35,470 --> 00:39:37,280
You paid off the only witness.
899
00:39:38,980 --> 00:39:40,510
How did you get this?
900
00:39:40,580 --> 00:39:41,650
I got it from the same people
901
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,980
who gave it to the White House
yesterday.
902
00:39:44,250 --> 00:39:46,150
Mere hours before you made up your mind.
903
00:39:46,220 --> 00:39:48,120
I am guessing that is not a coincidence.
904
00:39:50,390 --> 00:39:51,590
It was an accident.
905
00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:53,490
He... he wasn't drinking,
he wasn't texting,
906
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,120
he wasn't...
907
00:39:55,390 --> 00:39:58,030
He was 16.
908
00:39:58,090 --> 00:39:59,359
It was an accident.
909
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,160
You people are using this
to blackmail me?
910
00:40:02,230 --> 00:40:03,879
I'm not trying to blackmail you,
Justice Spivey.
911
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,060
In fact, I want to tell you something
912
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:07,330
the White House forgot to mention.
913
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,310
The witness you paid off
died two years ago.
914
00:40:11,770 --> 00:40:14,610
The payment you made
could still take you down.
915
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,810
But without him around to talk,
it's easy to bury.
916
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:21,510
I'm good at that kind of thing.
The best, actually.
917
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,450
I can fix it for you,
make it all go away,
918
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,190
get you out from under the White House.
919
00:40:25,250 --> 00:40:27,190
I only ask one thing in return.
920
00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:29,079
That I hear the case,
that I side with you.
921
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,490
No.
922
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,630
That you listen to your conscience.
923
00:40:33,860 --> 00:40:35,800
Like I said,
924
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,670
I didn't come here to blackmail you.
925
00:40:38,830 --> 00:40:41,230
I'm done trying to influence people
926
00:40:41,300 --> 00:40:42,870
with anything but the truth.
927
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:44,640
And the truth is,
928
00:40:44,810 --> 00:40:48,480
if your son had stood trial
for his crime,
929
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,010
I know that you would have wanted him
930
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,550
to have the best representation
possible.
931
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:55,380
The families of our plaintiffs
932
00:40:55,650 --> 00:40:57,450
want the same thing for them, too.
933
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,740
Don't they at least deserve the chance
934
00:40:59,750 --> 00:41:01,550
to have this case heard?
935
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:06,660
Reports this afternoon
coming out of the Supreme Court...
936
00:41:06,930 --> 00:41:08,830
The class-action lawsuit spearheaded
937
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,530
by former White House
Chief of Staff Olivia Pope,
938
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,800
along with Philadelphia
attorney Annalise Keating,
939
00:41:13,970 --> 00:41:16,030
has just been added
to the court's docket.
940
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,540
Justice Spivey apparently making
941
00:41:18,610 --> 00:41:20,940
an impassioned plea
to his fellow justices,
942
00:41:21,010 --> 00:41:23,310
asking that they not only
consider the case,
943
00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:24,810
but fast-track it as well.
944
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,000
The stunning decision
945
00:41:26,020 --> 00:41:28,010
is not only a victory
for Pope and Keating,
946
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,360
but is also being hailed
947
00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:31,450
as a significant step forward
in the effort
948
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,490
to reform America's
criminal-justice system.
949
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,120
Olivia.
950
00:41:38,290 --> 00:41:39,520
Annalise.
951
00:41:39,590 --> 00:41:42,530
I guess this makes you
exactly what I thought.
952
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,760
What would that be?
953
00:41:43,830 --> 00:41:45,000
A miracle worker.
954
00:41:48,970 --> 00:41:50,770
So what now?
955
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,440
You go on to your teaching gig?
956
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:54,010
I go on to the Supreme Court?
957
00:41:54,170 --> 00:41:56,210
Is that what you would like to happen?
958
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,310
Not exactly.
959
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:00,980
- You?
- Nope.
960
00:42:02,780 --> 00:42:04,820
Is this your way of saying
you'll join me?
961
00:42:07,250 --> 00:42:09,550
Is this your way of asking?
962
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:14,060
Let's go.
963
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:30,800
