Billy Chambers.
Billy Chambers is the mole?
I assumed he went off the grid.
If I stabbed someone to death in cold blood
with a pair of scissors and got away with it,
I'd skip town and never be heard from again.
You're a murderer.
I am not proud of that.
Huck?
Billy Chambers had to go.
He was a threat and he had to go.
And you made me promise I wouldn't kill him.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) So I hired out.
CHARLIE: Oh! Hold the elevator!
Yeah, I know they say torture's like riding a bike,
you never really forget how, but I like to keep my skills sharp.
Even though I don't need to get anything out of you.
This is a straight up whack job, just to be honest here.
I thought I'd take some old friends out for a little spin.
No, wait! Please wait!
See, I have missed hearing that.
Whatever you're getting paid to do this, I'll double it.
I know.
- (SAW WHIRRING) - Stop! Stop! Please, stop!
Think of me as an investment strategy!
Okay. I was the Vice President's Chief of Staff.
I have all her access codes.
I know all her passwords,
and I know where a hell of a lot of bodies are buried.
So I was going to retire a rich man based on all the secrets I have to sell,
but there's no reason that I can't share.
I mean, my access, your skill set... We'd make a great team.
It's true what they say.
If you want someone killed right, you've got to kill them yourself.
Somebody stitch that on a pillow.
All right, people. Buckle up. It's going to be a long night.
Wasn't Rosen supposed to be getting us coffee?
Give it to me.
No, I hold the Cytron card. I hold it till we use it. It's mine.
Tell me you're not gonna blow this for us, Rosen.
I am not gonna blow this.
I'm not.
Is there a coffee shop around here? I'm supposed to be getting coffee.
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
Someone care to explain why the refrigerator that serves
the pleasure of the President of the flippin' United States
doesn't have one damn bottle of ketchup?
Again, I don't see why we are here.
We are here because we are moments...
This administration is moments...
We have to stop Billy Chambers from outing Defiance.
From a full-scale nuclear meltdown!
We need to be on the same page as to how we do it.
Fine. Correction. I don't see why I'm here,
because I am no longer a member of this administration.
They'll yelp all night if we let 'em.
Let's say we get the show on the road.
Not everyone's here yet.
What the heck we waiting for? Old Verna to show?
'Cause last time I checked,
that little piggy was dead as a slab of bacon,
God rest her soul.
- MELLIE: Rome can burn for all I care! - (ARGUING INDISTINCTLY)
MELLIE: I've been a team player ever since he ran for governor.
I have held my tongue and done whatever was necessary
to manage whatever crisis after crisis.
MELLIE: I am done!
I am looking out for one person now, one person, and that person is me!
Where are you going?
Sit down, Mellie!
Let's do this.
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
FITZ: We've all had our differences in the past,
but tonight, we put them aside.
We do what we have to do to fix this.
- If I may, Mr. President. - Hollis.
This Billy Chambers character has got to go, permanently.
You mean...
I mean, bang-bang, boo-hoo, bye-bye. Sir.
Hollis, this is the White House. This man is the President.
Talking about murder in the White House
in front of the President
is like talking about sex in the Vatican in front of the Pope.
We do not do it.
Well, la-di-da.
He wouldn't be the President if I hadn't made him the President.
I think I can talk about whatever I want.
Do whatever you have to do, but leave me out of it.
No more blood.
No more killing American citizens on American soil
and calling it patriotism.
This has gone far enough.
Billy Chambers is not our problem. Defiance is our problem.
It always has been.
And the only way to prove that Defiance has happened is the Cytron card.
Without the card, Billy is just a previously discredited crazy man
with an even crazier theory.
We get the card, we neuter Billy,
and we put this whole thing to bed once and for all.
Liv's right. We get the card back.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
If you would just be willing to sit down and talk with him.
He's going to run again,
and he knows he needs you by his side when he does.
I will not be humiliated anymore!
I will return to the White House when and only when
Fitzgerald can show me that he has learned
to stop humping the leg of his whore every chance that he gets.
When he can demonstrate his ability to sit and stay.
When there is a leash.
You tell him he has to beg.
He wants to come back, I promise you.
He just doesn't know how to do it.
He's a child, Mellie.
We just have to show him the way.
FITZ: You okay?
It's a lot.
This whole Billy Chambers thing. And having to deal with Hollis...
He's Darth Vader.
He's not so bad. Not really.
(EXHALES)
Liv?
We'll fix this Defiance thing, and you'll run again and you'll win.
And I want that, I want that for you.
It's just I let myself believe the waiting was over and now...
The waiting?
Four more years is going to be difficult. I'll be fine, it's just...
(SIGHS) It's going to be difficult.
We're not waiting four more years to be together,
we're going to be together now.
Livvie, I'm running, I'm winning,
we're getting married, and you're moving into the White House with me.
Fitz... Okay, there's a million reasons why that's a nonstarter.
Here we go.
Are you seriously going to stand here and suggest that divorcing your wife
and moving me into the White House in the midst of an election
is not a tiny bit of a problem?
- It's a problem. So fix it. - Clearly.
Funny. You're a funny man.
You should quit your job, go on the road.
What are you always saying?
That you're brilliant, that you're the best?
Better than my boys in the White House?
So, do what you do best.
Fix it. Handle it.
I thought you didn't want me fixing you.
I don't need fixing. I'm fine. I love you.
The American public needs fixing. They love Mellie.
They're the ones with the problem. So come up with a plan to solve it.
You want me to come up with a plan?
Olivia Pope...
(LAUGHS)
Use your superpower.
Mmm. Stop. We can't. Someone will come in.
Fitz. What are you doing?
Using my superpower.
(EXHALES)
(INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY)
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
If you make it up the ladder, take one lesson with you.
Never rely on civilians to do a soldier's job.
You think I would have learned that by now.
Duly noted.
HARRISON: It's time I meet with Ms. Pope.
May I ask what for?
I need to talk to her.
You are not the best conversationalist.
Maybe it's the company I keep. Just bring her in.
- I can't do that. - And why is that?
I have a mission to protect her.
From Albatross. Not from me.
Can you at least tell me...
I just want to know your intentions.
(CLEARS THROAT) Bringing Ms. Pope in, it's a job.
It's a task you're free to accept or decline.
You refuse the job, I ask someone else, and I'll know where we stand.
Now, James, you know the Grant family intimately.
The President is your daughter's godfather.
What's your take on the rumors that the First Couple is seeing a pastor
to repair their marriage?
- Cyrus. I just need a comment. - I don't have time.
My comment is, "I don't have time!"
One little comment, Cy.
You are press. Press is not allowed back here.
You are abusing your personal relationship with me
to advance what's certain to be a very short-lived
and forgettable broadcast career.
There. Now you have two comments.
I am not abusing our relationship.
I am only asking you because
you're giving every other reporter in this building scoop
- and you're freezing me out. - That is not true.
Oh, really? Then how did the Post find out the President's seeking counsel
from Pastor Jennings?
- I don't know. - Is it true?
I don't know. Why don't you ask the Post?
They seem to be all sourced up.
They're all sourced up because you are their source.
And I don't have sources because you're freezing me out.
So, in the next 20 minutes,
when every other reporter in this building goes live with the news
that Sally Langston has formed an exploratory committee
to run against the President in next year's Republican primary,
I would like to have a comment from the Oval!
Your job has only two requirements, Sally!
One is to not die, the other is to be loyal to the President.
That's it! Don't die, be loyal!
The only other creature in this White House
who has the same sweet deal
is the President's dog!
Hank! Hank can do those two simple things.
Why can't you?
I have a constituency. People that I answer to.
People who almost made me the standard-bearer
of this party three years ago.
Almost, Sally. Almost!
And when they see the goings-on in this White House,
its lack of discipline, its lack of beliefs.
We're singing that song again? Are we?
Morality isn't a minor inconvenience, Cyrus.
It's not something that you can scrape off the bottom of your shoe
and then continue on your merry way.
Commandments of the Lord are being broken.
So at this point, with this president,
I would be irresponsible if I didn't offer the party an alternative.
You will get your chance.
Five years from now.
If you wait, if you're patient, if you're loyal!
The President will be there for you.
Five years from now, when it's your turn!
But it's not your turn, Sally!
So, you're going to march into the East Room
and you're going to proclaim to the world,
in the loudest, clearest voice possible,
that the only committee you're interested in signing on for
is the committee to reelect Fitzgerald Thomas Grant, the Third.
Let me tell you about loyalty.
About Supreme Court nominees that are promised to me one day
and then gutted the next.
About being told boldface lies to my face
so your President can run the greatest nation on Earth
while in a coma!
I see how loyalty gets rewarded in this White House,
so don't try to peddle that doggy treat to me anymore.
It's way past its sell-by date.
Billy Chambers has the Cytron card. We need it back.
So we need to figure out what his game is, how he's going to use it.
Billy's got no credibility in D.C. After the Vice President disavowed him.
He can't be stupid enough to think
that anybody would believe what he has to say after that.
So if he wants to out Defiance, he knows he can't do it by himself.
He needs someone else to do it for him.
The question is, who?
Billy needs someone respectable, someone with clout,
someone who has the public's trust, who was directly affected by Defiance.
Ms. Pope.
Governor, thank you for seeing me.
Please.
Reston's the perfect choice.
He's still seething over losing the presidency.
- He's a murderer, as it happens. - Country dodged a bullet.
Go gladiators.
It's always nice to see you, Liv. What can I do for you?
I was just wondering if you were planning to run again.
I assume you're not offering me your services.
Never say never. You know how I like a challenge.
I think Billy's going to use Reston to out Defiance.
I think they're already working together.
But we don't have any proof. All we have is...
My gut. I'm sure.
How can you be sure?
Abby, you should have seen him. I'm sure.
I'm not running.
Believe me, I think I've gotten the bug out of my system
after the last election.
HARRISON: What if you're wrong?
I'm not. I know this.
But we knew that Grayden Osborne was the mole and we were wrong.
We knew that Molly was a victim and we were wrong.
You could be wrong here.
I'm not.
Okay. Okay, good. Now I just have to...
- Let me do it. Let me do it. - I can.
I want to do it.
- Make sure you... - I did.
- Don't forget to... - Right there. I got this.
- I wouldn't go that way. - I got this!
- Quinn... - Boom! There it is!
There what is?
I hacked into the security cameras on the street
outside Governor Reston's mansion.
If Billy Chambers went to see him there, we'll know.
It's downloading now. We should have it in under two minutes.
- I need coffee. - (COMPUTER WHIRRING)
Boom.
She's getting good at this.
You're a good teacher.
Sometimes, uh... Sometimes she reminds me of me.
Are you saying... Has she hurt anyone?
No.
Then what are you saying?
I'm saying I worry about her.
Like I worry about you.
Don't worry about me.
I worry about you. With him.
He wants me by his side in the White House.
He wants to get a divorce. I'm going to be First Lady.
I wrote a plan. I was up all night. I handled it.
(GASPS)
I worry about me, too.
(COMPUTER BEEPS)
Okay, security cameras are up.
(TYPING)
(TAPS KEY)
There. (CHUCKLES) We got him!
Billy Chambers at the Governor's mansion two hours ago.
They're on to you.
- You were right. - Right. And I have to call Cyrus.
I'm getting almost as good as you.
Always pleased to appear when summoned,
but may I remind you that, unlike you, I serve the King?
Which makes me a busy, busy man. And today I am busier than busy, so...
I'm sure you are. I wish I could be more sympathetic, Cyrus,
but you have a tendency to make things harder for yourself
than they need to be.
The sex tape, it can make all of our problems go away.
But you still refuse. Why?
I'm still unclear why any of this matters to B-613.
You know how people say,
"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" at parties
and everyone laughs?
I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you.
We're not at a party and I am not laughing.
These are two people in love. These are my friends.
Cyrus, I'm handling Olivia Pope. You do your part.
What does that mean?
Worry about your boss. I'll take care of the rest.
What do you mean about Olivia Pope?
Drop the bomb already, Cy.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
- What? - It's Reston!
What's Reston?
Billy Chambers. He's working with Reston.
That's his way of exposing Defiance. I don't know what their plans are yet.
Reston? Are you... Reston?
He's in the Oval. They're meeting in the Oval Office right now.
- Governor Reston. - (DOOR CLOSES)
Thanks for coming in. I've been riding your senators for months
trying to get them on board with my education bill,
so when I heard you asked for a meeting...
This isn't about education.
It's about Defiance.
You need to get in there. You need to stop this!
(PANTING)
(WOMAN GASPS) Oh, my God.
Someone, call 911. Hurry!
- (GASPING) - Secret Service, step back!
- (CROWD MURMURING) - MAN: I need an ambulance.
Defiance?
Governor...
I really don't know what you're talking about.
Put me on your ticket.
- Excuse me? - Put me on your ticket
and this all goes away.
All what goes away?
The proof I have that you rigged a national election.
(SCOFFS)
Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about,
- and I think it's time for you... - I'm talking about dignity.
The dignity of a candid response.
You owe me that, at the very least.
Your campaign, that election, it ruined my life.
My wife is in jail.
I live in the shadow of the loss of a few thousand stolen votes
that took this office away from me.
I think you better leave.
And go where? To the Feds? Draw me a map, I'll walk.
Put the Post on there, too. Hell, put all the newspapers on there.
No sense being stingy. Not when we're talking about the biggest case
of voter fraud in the history of American politics.
You clearly think you've figured something out, Governor...
I don't think anything, Mr. President,
I know.
I know what you did, and I know your way out now
is to bring me on board.
We'll call it the "unity ticket."
Two old rivals coming together to make America right.
You'll have to fire Langston, of course, but let's be honest,
rumor is that that Bible-thumper's been making a play to jump ship anyway.
I'll show myself out.
9:00 a.m. Tomorrow, Mr. President, that's when this offer expires.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(SIGHS)
Reston. What did he say?
Mr. President, I have Mr. Beene on the phone.
Cyrus.
What did Reston say? What did he say to you?
What did you tell him?
Mr. Beene, at least let me take your blood pressure.
It's bad. Very bad. How's that? What did he say?
He wants a deal.
He won't expose Defiance if we run together on a unity ticket.
Putting Sally Langston out to pasture in the process.
- That might not be the worst... - No.
Reston hates you. It is deep, and it is personal.
He doesn't want to share a ticket with you.
He doesn't want to share anything with you.
So he's either planning on using Defiance to impeach you
once he's the Vice President, or, more likely, he hopes to record you
saying something incriminating, which you...
- Didn't. Of course. - Thank God, thank God...
(SPUTTERS) I said get your hands off of me! Off! Off!
Cyrus, where are you?
- It's nothing. - MAN: He's hypertensive...
Are you in an ambulance?
I'm fine. These idiots are telling me I had a heart attack.
- Cyrus! - Cyrus!
Ow!
Shoot him. I said, "Shoot him"!
Give me your gun, I'll shoot him myself.
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
(RAPID FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
- (PANTING) - (DOOR CLOSES)
You bastard. Don't you die on me when I'm so mad at you.
Don't you dare die.
Come here. Come here.
I don't forgive you.
I don't forgive you either.
(SOBBING) Please don't die.
I'll do my best.
(CONTINUES SOBBING)
Is it true? The President's seeking spiritual guidance about his marriage?
(SNIFFLES)
Yes, it's true.
I love you.
Reston's not just out to expose Defiance.
He's after the President personally.
So, what's our move?
It's still about the card. That's the key.
It's what makes this case. Whoever's got it calls the shots.
Okay, I'm Billy Chambers. I don't give up the card so easily.
It's my only play.
I'd make sure I'd get everything I wanted before I handed it over.
I'd negotiate...
Negotiations take time. And as long as Billy is negotiating...
Reston doesn't have the card. Billy does.
Look, Rosen. I get that you have your whole
what-I've-done-for-this-memory-card thing. I do.
But I can't hold out any longer.
Reston couldn't get Grant to confess on tape,
so we've got to convince him that the card is enough.
And he's got to see it.
He's got to look at it and think about every single vote that he lost.
So let's be a big boy.
You want this as bad as I do. It's time. Cough it up.
I can't. Not yet. I will, I just...
(SWALLOWS) They're my friends.
(SIGHS) And I'm not, right? Your friend?
Is that it? I'm the bad guy?
Well, you did kill some people.
Okay. I've got some blood on my hands,
but I had good reasons.
I had to get rid of the CIA guy.
It was the only way to get the heat off me.
And that Wendy girl, which, I know, I framed you for,
she screwed things up, so she had to die.
Same with Molly. I didn't have a choice, okay?
I was boxed into a corner,
I was forced to do all of it by your so-called friends.
And, yes, I'll burn in hell for what I did. I will. I know that.
But you? You don't have to end up like me.
You could get some justice for those thousands of Ohio voters
who lost their fundamental right of one man, one vote.
For Samuel Reston, who won that damn presidency fair and square,
and for you.
You lost your job, your reputation,
and your sense of right and wrong when you fell in with these people.
And let's be honest, Olivia Pope and her team of thugs,
they're not anyone's friends.
They destroyed your life.
She destroyed your life.
And, yeah, yeah, she'll end up fixing it for you.
She'll break out the Krazy Glue,
but only because she's the one who broke it in the first place!
She took your life from you.
She took justice from you, remember?
Well, she did the same thing to me, and look what I've become.
I was the Vice President's Chief of Staff and now I'm a freaking murderer!
So, come on, Rosen. Wake up. Smell the justice.
Before it's too late.
You're right.
You're damn right.
Look, I appreciate it, but you don't have to be here.
Go back to the Oval. I'm fine.
As I keep telling everyone around here, I'm fine!
I'll let the doctors make that call.
By the way,
this nonsense about consulting my pastor for marital guidance,
where's that coming from?
I have no idea.
- Take the deal. - What?
The deal Reston's offering. Trust me. Take it.
You want me to put Reston on the ticket?
No, I want you to pretend to.
We've all been assuming
that Reston has the memory card, but what if he doesn't?
What if Billy Chambers is holding on to the card himself?
Do you know where he's hiding?
No, but if we can force Reston to reach out to him...
By taking the deal?
By taking the deal, but demanding to see the card first.
If I'm right, and Reston doesn't have it...
He'll call Chambers and ask for it.
And we'll trace his call and track Chambers down.
President Grant's very interested in this idea of a unity ticket.
A chance to end the era of petty bipartisan bickering and start fresh.
The President's also quite concerned
with these suggestions of voter irregularities, in Ohio?
That's right. Good memory.
Any alleged proof of such activities would need verification
before any further steps towards a unity ticket could be taken, of course.
What kind of proof do you want?
Whatever proof there might be.
I'll see what I can do about that.
It's done.
(TAPS KEY) I'm into Reston's cell phone.
Okay, now we just wait and see if he calls Billy for the card.
JAMES: But what I can confirm is
the President is talking to his pastor.
He is seeking counsel, he is praying for guidance.
Which is a good sign.
And his approval numbers are on the rise as a result,
while the First Lady's are trending down
with more people now questioning her trustworthiness,
after her decision to air her dirty laundry on live TV.
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
(SIGHS) Oh, Cyrus.
(GASPS) Oh!
Thank God you're all right.
What are you doing here, Mellie?
Officially? I've come to visit Cyrus in his hour of need.
Now, I know you don't want cameras in the room, Cy,
but they got me coming in.
So I was thinking when Fitz and I go down in the elevator together,
maybe we can let a little press into the lobby...
I'm not leaving here with you.
Your search for spiritual guidance is all over the news.
It sells the story if we're seen together.
There is no "we."
I thought you were ready to work through this.
Our approval ratings are up, Fitz.
If you plan to run and win,
we need to capitalize on the public's support.
Mellie. This phase of our lives,
capitalizing on public support as a definition of marriage,
is over.
Our divorce will be amicable.
For the sake of the children that we will continue to raise together,
we will remain publically cordial.
But make no mistake.
You are going to leave the White House.
You'll launch your own political career.
And I will back you, and campaign for you,
and never speak of my ex-wife, Mellie Grant,
in anything but the most glowing of terms.
And then, about a year into my second term,
I will go on one or two high-profile dates
with well-educated, age-appropriate career women,
which will be chronicled in immaculate detail by tabloids around the globe.
But none of them will work out
because my only true love will be for my country.
And when word leaks, six months later,
that I've been spending time with one of my oldest, dearest,
most trusted advisors,
who selflessly acted as the mouthpiece of my administration
when I was lying half-dead in a hospital bed,
who has always stood beside me as my friend and colleague,
when it gets out that she and I have started,
after all this time, to care for one another
in a way that is no longer strictly professional,
America will love her.
And let's be honest.
My relationship with Olivia
is going to spark a real dialogue about race in this country,
and it is going to blow the Republican Party wide open,
and let some light and air into places
that haven't seen change in far too long.
So the party will love her.
And you want to be on the right side of history here.
Trust me, you do.
Now, if you don't want to play along,
if you leak Olivia's name, if you refuse to go gently,
well, it only takes a few whispers of the word "racist"
before the feminist groups and the religious groups
and even the Republican National Committee
turn up their noses at your stink.
But I don't want to do that, Mellie.
I don't want to fight you. I want us to be a dynasty.
I want to help you join me as a living, breathing monument
to redemption, and second chances,
and the America we all hope still exists.
(DOOR CLOSES)
I take it Liv came up with that?
She did.
It's good.
Reston's calling an aide, telling him to order pizza.
- (SIGHS) - Sausage. Deep dish. Large.
Twenty thousand seven hundred thirty-six.
What?
Twenty thousand seven hundred thirty-six.
Oh, no. Are you... Is this the Abby version of 752?
That's how many possible combinations there are to this safe.
It would take days to go through them all.
Charlie cracked it in minutes with a gun to David's head.
Doesn't add up.
Super-spy. Look at Huck.
HUCK: Reston just called Billy!
(TYPING)
He's asking for the card.
We were right. Billy still has it.
His signal is coming from a cell tower in Virginia.
QUINN: Looks like Rosslyn.
Sending forward link pulse to calculate the coordinates.
This is it.
- We got him? - We got him.
Super-spy.
(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)
(ECHOING) Stress. It's a killer.
What do you want with Olivia Pope?
Rowan?
We got Billy Chambers. My people are on it.
We should have the card by morning.
Thank God. That's great news.
How's he looking?
Pale. Fragile.
Did you tell him my plan?
He heard it.
It's a brilliant plan, Liv. He'll get on board.
I'll make him get on board.
What?
Mellie showing up at that hospital to support her worried husband
was on the home screen of every site five seconds after it happened.
I didn't want her there. I don't even know why she came.
Cyrus is why she came.
If not directly, then indirectly.
It was Cyrus. It's always Cyrus.
Okay, I realize we're on high alert with Defiance, so maybe
you don't hear yourself, but our friend just had a heart attack.
And if he could have? He would have had that heart attack on live TV,
so you could do CPR while Mellie lovingly mopped your brow.
Everything is not a political move.
It is when we're talking about Cyrus.
He wants you and Mellie back together if you're going to run again.
He planted the stories about you seeing the pastor, didn't he?
(SIGHS)
You're worried about him, you love him, you don't want him to die.
I feel the same way, but that doesn't change the fact that he's still Cyrus.
Put your hand too close to the cage, and he will bite it off.
If we have a plan, Cyrus has a bigger plan.
(INHALES) Do you wanna come here to sleep?
I wish I could, but the agents I trust aren't on tonight.
What will you do instead?
I have a very exciting life, mister. I don't need you.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

I checked the whole place. I can't find the card.
It was worth a shot.
When do you think he'll be back?
I don't know. This part is quiet. We're quiet here. Sit down, okay?
Okay. (PANTING)
Wait, his cell signal put him at the Chinese place down the street.
That's probably takeout, right? So he's gonna be back any minute?
Which is why we're quiet. Sit down.
Then again, maybe it's not takeout. Maybe he likes to eat dinner there.
Be around people. Even Billy Chambers probably gets lonely.
Sit down.

Liv? What're you...
- Is she... - She's okay. She'll be okay.
What was that?
Drink.
- What was that, Jake? - I need a minute. I need a minute.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Okay.
Listen. Do not leave your office tonight.
You need to stay here with your people.
You'll be safe here. I think.
- You're leaving? - You'll be safer when I'm gone.
Jake! Why is someone trying to kill me?
I don't know exactly why or the details, I just follow orders.
But I do know that as long as you're in a relationship
with the President of the United States,
you're in danger.
There's a branch of the CIA called B-613...
B-6...
You're B-613?
Hey. Stay here tonight.
The woman I shot at your place was a B-613 agent,
which means, by morning, they'll have collected her body.
Fix your door, hire security, or break up with your boyfriend.
- Wait... - I have to go.
They're going to try to kill you now because you saved me.
No, because I disobeyed orders.
Maybe I could help you get out.
In my world, there are no outs.
Wait. Just wait.
You can't just... (BREATHING HEAVILY)
You saved my life twice now.
I was wrong. I was wrong about you. You're one of the good guys.
No, I'm not.
I just followed my orders.
Sleeping with you was my mission.
So don't bother missing me.
(INHALES AND EXHALES)
Close your eyes.
Be safe.
Goodbye, Olivia.
(EXHALES)
What's going on, Liv?
You have your gun?
Always. In my desk.
Keep it in your hands.
(FOOTSTEPS RETREATING)
This just got real.
(SIGHS) You're all right.
(GASPS) Cyrus.
(BREATHES UNEVENLY)
What are you doing here? Why aren't you in the hospital?
(SIGHS)
Cyrus.
I called, you didn't answer.
So I sent a Secret Service agent over to your house.
He saw your door was broken, I was worried.
Someone tried to kill me tonight.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
Liv.
You ever hear of B-613, Cy?
There are things I'm not at liberty to discuss or acknowledge
on the basis of national security...
You know what? Don't say anything. It doesn't matter anyway.
I know who it was and I know why and I don't care.
Fitz and I are going to be together.
I'm sorry, what?
I'm going to be with him, Cyrus. We have a plan.
It's going to work. (VOICE BREAKING) I love him.
Let me get this straight.
Mmm. (SETS DOWN GLASS)
Highly trained black ops assassins
broke into your home and tried to kill you,
and instead of that making you run towards reason,
instead of the possibility of death
making you decide that maybe it's better to be single,
you have decided that the killers were merely firing heart-shaped bullets
made of bubbles and candy that signify that you and your boyfriend,
Fitzy, are M.F.E.O., made for each other?
Cyrus, you're being dramatic.
Really?
Really? I'm being dramatic? I'm being dramatic?
I have moved heaven and earth to save you from yourselves.
I have lied for you, I have stolen for you, I have cheated for you,
I have killed for you, I have almost died for you,
and you two are so stupid and romantic
and high on your own doomed-love,
Romeo-and-Juliet, dear-diary nonsense
that you won't even save your own lives.
But I am being dramatic?
Romeo and Juliet were teenagers, and they died!
- I've had enough! - Cyrus...
He killed Verna Thornton, Liv.
Killed her, dead. With his own two hands.
(WHISPERS) What?
Oh, you didn't know?
You were too
l-love-him-and-he-loves-me
and our-love-conquers- every-obstacle-in-our-paths
- to find that part out? - (LIV PANTING)
Whoever told you that...
He did! He told me that!
The love of your life is a red-handed, cold-blooded killer.
That is what you're dealing with. That is who you love.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
This is not a romance novel.
Life is not a romance novel.

Hi, Billy.
We need to talk about the Cytron card, okay?
(WHIRRING)
(MUFFLED GRUNTING)
What the hell are you doing here, Cy?
You're supposed to be in the hospital. They just let you go?
You yell at enough doctors, they'll sign anything.
May I?
What is that?
Reality TV.

Huck.
I can't do it. I thought I could, but I can't.
It's okay. It's okay, Huck. You don't have to.
But she needs the card. Liv needs the card.
It's okay.
You don't have to do it. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Okay.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(WHIRRING)
(MUFFLED GRUNTING AND SCREAMING)
(SQUISHING AND CRUNCHING)
Where's the damn Cytron card, Billy?
(MUFFLED CRYING)
(PANTING) I'm not gonna ask you twice.
Abby. I got it. 864. 864. It's 864!
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
Huck installed an emulator program.
It turns his laptop into a facsimile of a voting machine.
(TYPING)
(BEEPS)
Did you do it right?
Huck wrote out the keystrokes for me. It was idiot-proof.
There's nothing on this.
It's a fake. This card is fake.
That's the card he gave me!
I swear to God, that's the card David Rosen gave me.
It's David. David played us.
Really? Nowhere else to put him?
He's safest here.
Come on!
Night, David. Enjoy the couch.
Always.

David Rosen.
I just read that grand jury transcript.
Man, did you get screwed.
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
Turn it off.
- There's more. - I don't care. Turn it off.
It goes from room to room. And back again.
I don't think you want to do this.
I'm an old man, and I did just have a heart attack.
Plus,
as far as I can tell, I'm the only grown-up in the room.

HOLLIS: Mr. President, David Rosen
has our world spinnin' on his itty-bitty thumb.
Again.
Boy's been a tick on our ass for over a year now
and it's about time the son of a bitch was handled for once and for all.
Now, I know, a couple of hounds arguing over the same bone
ain't never meant to agree, so I'm not asking for anybody's permission.
I'll take care of this one by myself.
Y'all can be clean on this.
But I promise you that little bastard will be taken care of
the same way we Texas boys prepare our brisket.
Carefully, properly, and, most of all, enjoyably.
What in the pouty hell is with you people tonight?
This boy has the only remaining proof of our deeds in Defiance!
- (CELL RINGS) - He's probably marching his pale ass
into the Justice Department this very second...
No.
He's in my office.
Right now.
What can I do for you?
It's what I can do for you.
Oh, and I'm going to need something in return.
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
(BEEPS)
DAVID: Not yet. I will, I just...
They're my friends.
And I'm not, right? Your friend?
Is that it? I'm the bad guy?
And did you see his face when I was all, "Where's the Cytron card?"
I didn't hesitate, I didn't even blink. I just...
Right in his thigh.
And watching him beg and scream? It was such a rush.
I've never been on drugs, but I feel like I'm on something.
I should be tired. Are you tired? I'm, like, fully awake right now...
Huck?
Are you hungry? I'm hungry.
Okay. I've got some blood on my hands,
but I had good reasons.
I had to get rid of the CIA guy.
It was the only way to get the heat off me.
And that Wendy girl, which, I know, I framed you for,
she screwed things up, so she had to die.
Same with Molly.
It's not often I have the honor of standing next to a true American hero.
(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING)
This one man, David Rosen,
has succeeded where our Justice and Intelligence departments have failed.
David Rosen found the mole.
The mole responsible for the death of CIA Director Osborne.
The mole responsible for selling our secrets
and endangering the lives of our CIA operatives in the field.
The mole who, previously, as a Chief of Staff to the Vice President,
bitterly attempted and failed to disgrace this administration into ruin.
Thanks to Mr. Rosen, that man is now in custody
and will answer for his treasonous crimes.
It is with great pride that I announce that David will be
the new U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia,
where I expect he will continue to fight for justice.
- David. - Thank you.
BILLY: Olivia Pope and her team of thugs, they're not anyone's friends.
They destroyed your life, Rosen! She destroyed your life.
And, yeah, yeah, she'll end up fixing it for you.
She'll break out the Krazy Glue,
but only because she's the one who broke it in the first place!
(PROJECTOR AND CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
(DOOR CLOSES)
You and Jake.
- Cyrus told you? - Yes.
I thought so.
He told me about Verna.
Mmm. (GRUNTS)
I was going to tell you that I don't care about Jake.
That I forgive you.
That we could start over, start fresh. No big deal.
I'm guessing you don't feel the same way about murder.
I wish that I could say that I didn't mean to do it
or that I was out of my mind or it was an accident.
I wish I could say anything.
Liv?
The things we've done
to get you here.
We went too far.
Olivia, I'm sorry, if you'll give me another chance...
Whatever happened in the past, let it go.
Let your father go. Let Verna go.
Defiance is dead. The reset button has been hit.
The genie is back in the bottle.
You are clean. You can start over. Start fresh. Run clean.
Run with Mellie at your side.
No. No. That is not the plan...
We went too far.
My people,
Huck and Abby and Harrison and Quinn,
I took them too far, over the wrong cliff.
We went so far that I don't know that we can get back.
But you can get back.
Run with Mellie by your side. You can win with Mellie by your side.
I want you by my side. We can do this together.
You're going to be my First Lady.
I can't leave them.
They need me.
I'm their gladiator.
