1
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:29,934
Who can tell me the biggest mistake
people make in a crisis?

2
00:00:33,106 --> 00:00:35,740
- Mm-hmm?
- A failure to plan.

3
00:00:35,808 --> 00:00:37,808
Crisis management isn't about planning.

4
00:00:37,877 --> 00:00:40,244
It's about action.
Snap decisions in the moment.

5
00:00:40,313 --> 00:00:42,680
An ineffective communication strategy.

6
00:00:42,749 --> 00:00:43,981
Telling the truth.

7
00:00:46,152 --> 00:00:48,085
People think we lie for a living.

8
00:00:48,154 --> 00:00:49,320
But in fact,

9
00:00:49,389 --> 00:00:51,289
the truth is often our greatest weapon.

10
00:00:51,357 --> 00:00:52,623
Anyone else?

11
00:00:55,762 --> 00:00:58,229
Not knowing they're in a crisis.

12
00:00:58,298 --> 00:01:00,131
Very good.

13
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,399
Miss...

14
00:01:01,467 --> 00:01:02,867
Keating.

15
00:01:02,936 --> 00:01:04,569
Annalise Keating.

16
00:01:06,406 --> 00:01:11,406
Synced and corrected by BLuk
www.addic7ed.com

17
00:01:16,015 --> 00:01:19,483
- Ms. Pope.
- Ms. Keating.

18
00:01:19,552 --> 00:01:21,552
That was a very informed answer earlier.

19
00:01:21,621 --> 00:01:22,720
Spoken from experience?

20
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:23,888
I'm a defense attorney.

21
00:01:23,957 --> 00:01:25,690
I taught at Middleton Law School
for years.

22
00:01:25,758 --> 00:01:28,659
Professor Keating...?

23
00:01:28,728 --> 00:01:31,362
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no.

24
00:01:31,431 --> 00:01:32,997
I'm happy that my own business

25
00:01:33,066 --> 00:01:35,166
never caught your attention.

26
00:01:35,235 --> 00:01:37,501
I'm representing a class-action case

27
00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:41,239
that has the potential
to reform our entire justice system.

28
00:01:41,307 --> 00:01:43,207
I have about 100 plaintiffs...

29
00:01:43,276 --> 00:01:45,443
all mostly poor, people of color...

30
00:01:45,511 --> 00:01:46,811
who have been incarcerated

31
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:48,746
due to underfunded public defenders.

32
00:01:48,815 --> 00:01:51,382
The case was just shot down
by Pennsylvania courts.

33
00:01:51,451 --> 00:01:52,583
Mm.

34
00:01:52,652 --> 00:01:54,185
I wish you a lot of luck.

35
00:01:54,254 --> 00:01:55,720
Luck?

36
00:01:55,788 --> 00:01:56,921
People's constitutional rights

37
00:01:56,990 --> 00:01:58,256
are being violated every single day

38
00:01:58,324 --> 00:02:00,758
in every courtroom across the country.

39
00:02:00,827 --> 00:02:02,627
Luck is for cereal with marshmallows.

40
00:02:03,963 --> 00:02:05,696
I need your help.

41
00:02:05,765 --> 00:02:07,298
I'm not sure how I can.

42
00:02:07,367 --> 00:02:08,499
I'm not a practicing lawyer.

43
00:02:08,568 --> 00:02:09,767
I don't need another lawyer.

44
00:02:09,836 --> 00:02:12,536
I need this case to be fast-tracked

45
00:02:12,605 --> 00:02:14,605
to the United States Supreme Court.

46
00:02:14,674 --> 00:02:17,975
Oh.

47
00:02:18,044 --> 00:02:19,110
I don't know if you've heard,

48
00:02:19,178 --> 00:02:21,279
but I've been out of the White House
for a few months now.

49
00:02:21,347 --> 00:02:22,980
The news said you left on good terms.

50
00:02:23,049 --> 00:02:24,181
I did.

51
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:27,451
But I'm sort of enjoying
my break from politics.

52
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,986
Who's talking politics?

53
00:02:29,055 --> 00:02:30,354
I'm talking justice.

54
00:02:30,423 --> 00:02:31,622
Ending the new Jim Crow.

55
00:02:31,691 --> 00:02:33,291
Here, read this case file.

56
00:02:33,359 --> 00:02:34,925
- I...
- Just look it over.

57
00:02:34,994 --> 00:02:36,494
You can say no then.

58
00:02:41,901 --> 00:02:43,334
Ms. Pope.

59
00:02:44,404 --> 00:02:47,238
Our country's in crisis.

60
00:02:47,307 --> 00:02:49,006
Together we can fix it.

61
00:02:56,883 --> 00:02:59,317
I've rescheduled
Party-boy Banker for tomorrow,

62
00:02:59,385 --> 00:03:01,585
so today we just have
Senator Embarrassing X-Ray

63
00:03:01,654 --> 00:03:03,888
and the oil lobbyist
with the little money-laundering sitch.

64
00:03:03,956 --> 00:03:05,790
I'm also converting all the machines

65
00:03:05,858 --> 00:03:07,458
to a stronger encryption protocol.

66
00:03:07,527 --> 00:03:08,559
So that'll take us offline
for a few hours.

67
00:03:08,628 --> 00:03:09,694
You just have to tell me when.

68
00:03:09,762 --> 00:03:12,196
We were thinking maybe Friday night.

69
00:03:14,434 --> 00:03:15,533
Quinn.

70
00:03:15,601 --> 00:03:17,201
Did you hear anything we just said?

71
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:19,203
Uh, today is X-Ray Senator
and money laundry oil lobbyist.

72
00:03:19,272 --> 00:03:21,138
Tomorrow is Party Boy Banker.

73
00:03:21,207 --> 00:03:23,174
Also, Charlie reached out
to a couple of PI's

74
00:03:23,242 --> 00:03:25,142
for extra help with all
the tails we're running.

75
00:03:25,211 --> 00:03:26,977
- We'll want to sit down with them.
- Mm-hmm.

76
00:03:27,046 --> 00:03:28,946
- So, maybe next week, or...?
- Sure.

77
00:03:29,015 --> 00:03:30,015
Sooner would be better.

78
00:03:30,083 --> 00:03:31,148
Fine.

79
00:03:31,217 --> 00:03:32,383
Charlie can run point on that, right?

80
00:03:32,452 --> 00:03:34,285
Um... probably?

81
00:03:34,354 --> 00:03:35,686
I'll check.

82
00:03:40,326 --> 00:03:41,392
I'm sorry. Was there something else?

83
00:03:41,461 --> 00:03:43,160
You're Googling Liv again, aren't you?

84
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,166
She's teaching college.

85
00:03:49,235 --> 00:03:50,267
Teaching?

86
00:03:50,336 --> 00:03:51,736
Well, you know what they say.

87
00:03:51,804 --> 00:03:53,003
Those who can't do...

88
00:03:53,072 --> 00:03:54,505
You're bad.

89
00:03:54,574 --> 00:03:56,507
Liv's worse.

90
00:03:56,576 --> 00:03:57,675
Good riddance.

91
00:03:57,744 --> 00:03:58,809
Right?

92
00:03:58,878 --> 00:04:00,478
Right.

93
00:04:14,260 --> 00:04:15,860
Annalise Keating.

94
00:04:15,928 --> 00:04:18,396
The Annalise Keating
showed up in your classroom.

95
00:04:18,464 --> 00:04:19,663
So you've heard of her?

96
00:04:19,732 --> 00:04:21,232
Liv, it's Annalise Keating.

97
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,434
Annalise Keating
the top defense attorney

98
00:04:23,503 --> 00:04:26,504
and badass professor
from Middleton University in Philly?

99
00:04:26,572 --> 00:04:27,805
Of course.

100
00:04:27,874 --> 00:04:30,374
I applied to law school there
because of her.

101
00:04:30,443 --> 00:04:34,011
She's a beast.

102
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,713
Google says she's a criminal.

103
00:04:35,782 --> 00:04:38,015
She's been accused of some things.

104
00:04:38,084 --> 00:04:40,017
- Mm.
- But haven't we all.

105
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,193
She wants my help on a case.

106
00:04:49,262 --> 00:04:50,294
Class-action suit.

107
00:04:50,363 --> 00:04:52,263
Defendants are incarcerated
due to over...

108
00:04:52,331 --> 00:04:53,464
Overworked public defenders.

109
00:04:53,533 --> 00:04:55,566
Yeah, I read about this.

110
00:04:55,635 --> 00:04:57,268
I brought the idea to Fitz,

111
00:04:57,336 --> 00:05:00,070
but we got sidetracked
with another project.

112
00:05:00,139 --> 00:05:01,372
- You taking it on?
- No.

113
00:05:01,441 --> 00:05:03,808
Are you serious?

114
00:05:03,876 --> 00:05:06,243
Black men going to prison
because their constitutional rights

115
00:05:06,312 --> 00:05:08,212
have been violated? Yeah, I'm serious.

116
00:05:08,281 --> 00:05:10,581
Marcus, I'm not in the game anymore.

117
00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:12,616
Right.

118
00:05:12,685 --> 00:05:14,452
You're a school teacher.

119
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,920
Watch yourself.

120
00:05:21,594 --> 00:05:23,427
I just don't think I can do it.

121
00:05:23,496 --> 00:05:27,364
Then don't do it. Do nothing.
Waste your life. I got to go.

122
00:05:27,433 --> 00:05:29,333
- Marcus, why do you...
- Why do I return your calls?

123
00:05:29,402 --> 00:05:30,568
Show up for drinks?

124
00:05:30,636 --> 00:05:32,002
Come over to watch the game?

125
00:05:32,071 --> 00:05:33,370
Yeah.

126
00:05:36,342 --> 00:05:38,309
After everything that happened,

127
00:05:38,377 --> 00:05:39,977
why are you here?

128
00:05:42,748 --> 00:05:43,948
We're black,

129
00:05:44,016 --> 00:05:46,183
which means I'll always be here for you,

130
00:05:46,252 --> 00:05:47,918
and I'll always root for you.

131
00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:51,655
That's how we do.

132
00:06:40,118 --> 00:06:42,123
_

133
00:06:49,897 --> 00:06:51,897
_

134
00:06:52,538 --> 00:06:54,538
_

135
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:01,025
It's a good case.

136
00:07:01,093 --> 00:07:03,894
Your brief is strong,
the injustices are clear.

137
00:07:03,963 --> 00:07:05,629
It's evident these prisoners'
constitutional rights

138
00:07:05,698 --> 00:07:08,132
are being violated.
Some of their stories are quite moving.

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,500
I sense a "but" coming.

140
00:07:09,569 --> 00:07:10,701
But there is one problem.

141
00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:11,802
You.

142
00:07:13,539 --> 00:07:15,706
Annalise Keating
can't be the face of this.

143
00:07:15,775 --> 00:07:16,974
I did a little research.

144
00:07:17,043 --> 00:07:18,842
Murdered husband, stint in jail...

145
00:07:18,911 --> 00:07:21,078
I was wrongfully accused,
just like many of my plaintiffs.

146
00:07:21,147 --> 00:07:22,680
Your tenure at Middleton was nullified.

147
00:07:22,748 --> 00:07:24,348
You were almost disbarred
for alcoholism.

148
00:07:24,417 --> 00:07:25,816
I'm sober now.

149
00:07:25,885 --> 00:07:27,851
Ms. Keating.

150
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,087
You'd be the national press'
featured entree

151
00:07:30,156 --> 00:07:31,922
for almost a month of news cycles.

152
00:07:31,991 --> 00:07:34,191
Arson charges for dinner,
murder for dessert.

153
00:07:34,260 --> 00:07:35,492
Even if I was able to spin

154
00:07:35,561 --> 00:07:37,494
this rather colorful history of yours,

155
00:07:37,563 --> 00:07:38,996
you'd still have to pull off a miracle

156
00:07:39,065 --> 00:07:41,131
to get the Supreme Court
to come anywhere near this case.

157
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,799
So you're saying I'm a hot mess.

158
00:07:43,536 --> 00:07:44,568
Yes.

159
00:07:46,505 --> 00:07:48,439
I thought you were able
to move mountains.

160
00:07:48,507 --> 00:07:50,574
That's why I came here looking for you.

161
00:07:50,643 --> 00:07:53,944
Your reputation was
supposed to speak for itself.

162
00:08:00,152 --> 00:08:01,952
Have a safe trip back to Philadelphia.

163
00:08:30,016 --> 00:08:31,281
If we're gonna work together,

164
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:32,375
then there is one thing
you need to understand.

165
00:08:32,452 --> 00:08:34,785
This is my town, my game, my rules.

166
00:08:36,389 --> 00:08:37,655
Understood?

167
00:08:37,723 --> 00:08:39,223
Understood.

168
00:08:48,709 --> 00:08:50,142
- This isn't a good idea.
- I know.

169
00:08:50,211 --> 00:08:51,844
- He doesn't want to see you.
- I know.

170
00:08:51,913 --> 00:08:53,379
I had nothing to do with this.

171
00:08:53,447 --> 00:08:54,713
- We never talked.
- I know.

172
00:09:01,722 --> 00:09:04,223
Hi.

173
00:09:07,662 --> 00:09:08,928
How can I help you, Olivia?

174
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,565
Class-action suit.

175
00:09:13,634 --> 00:09:14,733
100 plaintiffs.

176
00:09:14,802 --> 00:09:16,769
Constitutional rights
are being violated.

177
00:09:16,837 --> 00:09:18,938
I'm familiar.

178
00:09:19,006 --> 00:09:20,472
Why do you need our help?

179
00:09:20,541 --> 00:09:21,640
It's a big case.

180
00:09:21,709 --> 00:09:22,741
A huge fight.

181
00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:24,476
I can't do it alone.

182
00:09:27,281 --> 00:09:29,581
Olivia Pope asking for help.

183
00:09:29,650 --> 00:09:30,916
That's a first.

184
00:09:38,292 --> 00:09:40,392
I did not come here for forgiveness.

185
00:09:45,266 --> 00:09:48,701
I know you don't like me.

186
00:09:48,769 --> 00:09:50,235
But I also know

187
00:09:50,304 --> 00:09:52,638
that you want to change the world,

188
00:09:52,707 --> 00:09:53,739
that it sickens you

189
00:09:53,808 --> 00:09:55,808
that there are people in this country

190
00:09:55,876 --> 00:09:57,209
who are literally punished

191
00:09:57,278 --> 00:09:59,611
because of disadvantages
they were born into.

192
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,347
That is why you started
this institute...

193
00:10:01,415 --> 00:10:02,548
to give them hope

194
00:10:02,616 --> 00:10:04,216
that their American nightmare

195
00:10:04,285 --> 00:10:05,784
can become an American dream.

196
00:10:05,853 --> 00:10:07,686
That's what you've done.

197
00:10:07,755 --> 00:10:09,321
That's why I'm here.

198
00:10:09,390 --> 00:10:11,991
So, yes, Olivia Pope

199
00:10:12,059 --> 00:10:15,828
is asking you, Fitz, for help.

200
00:10:15,896 --> 00:10:17,329
Okay?

201
00:10:33,914 --> 00:10:35,614
You got here early.

202
00:10:35,683 --> 00:10:36,882
I'm not early.

203
00:10:38,285 --> 00:10:39,385
Meeting doesn't start till 9:00.

204
00:10:39,453 --> 00:10:41,487
- That's right.
- Which makes you early.

205
00:10:41,555 --> 00:10:42,621
I'm not early.

206
00:10:42,690 --> 00:10:43,856
I'm ready.

207
00:10:43,924 --> 00:10:46,859
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

208
00:10:46,927 --> 00:10:48,827
Miss Pope, it is such an honor.

209
00:10:48,896 --> 00:10:50,396
This is my associate Michaela Pratt.

210
00:10:50,464 --> 00:10:53,195
I cannot even begin to express
how much this means to me.

211
00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:54,291
Except you just did.

212
00:10:54,326 --> 00:10:56,902
It's nice to meet you, Michaela.
Annalise, this is Marcus Walker.

213
00:10:56,971 --> 00:10:58,804
- Welcome to D.C., Ms. Keating.
- Thanks for having me.

214
00:10:58,873 --> 00:11:00,363
Morning, everyone.

215
00:11:00,398 --> 00:11:01,415
- Mr. President.
- Morning, sir.

216
00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:03,008
You must be Annalise.

217
00:11:03,077 --> 00:11:04,576
Yes. Hello, Mr. President.

218
00:11:04,645 --> 00:11:05,778
Call me Fitz.

219
00:11:05,846 --> 00:11:07,012
No, thank you, sir, Mr. President.

220
00:11:07,081 --> 00:11:08,313
Hi, there. I'm...

221
00:11:08,382 --> 00:11:10,449
- 44.
- Sorry?

222
00:11:10,518 --> 00:11:12,985
44... 44th President. 44.

223
00:11:13,054 --> 00:11:15,020
- That's me.
- Mr. President, before we get started,

224
00:11:15,089 --> 00:11:17,022
we wanted to thank you
for agreeing to help.

225
00:11:17,091 --> 00:11:18,223
This is issue is...

226
00:11:18,292 --> 00:11:20,225
An important one. I know.

227
00:11:20,294 --> 00:11:22,494
Fortunately, President Grant
thinks so, too.

228
00:11:22,563 --> 00:11:23,762
President Grant?

229
00:11:23,831 --> 00:11:25,798
- That'd be the other President Grant.
- She agreed to meet with us?

230
00:11:25,866 --> 00:11:27,599
She has.

231
00:11:27,668 --> 00:11:29,301
That's fantastic.

232
00:11:29,370 --> 00:11:30,936
If we can get the White House
behind our case,

233
00:11:31,005 --> 00:11:32,337
then the Supreme Court
will add us to their docket,

234
00:11:32,406 --> 00:11:33,849
no question.

235
00:11:33,884 --> 00:11:34,964
Let's get to work.

236
00:11:37,511 --> 00:11:41,146
Welcome. Come in. It's so nice to see
all of you. Fitz, Marcus.

237
00:11:41,215 --> 00:11:42,414
Madam President.

238
00:11:42,498 --> 00:11:44,497
Ms. Keating,
it's a pleasure to meet you.

239
00:11:44,566 --> 00:11:46,032
Is this your first time
in the White House?

240
00:11:46,101 --> 00:11:47,400
It is. Thank you for meeting with us.

241
00:11:47,469 --> 00:11:48,702
Thank you for coming.

242
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:50,837
I'm anxious to hear about
this case of yours.

243
00:11:56,278 --> 00:11:58,278
All of these people are innocent?

244
00:11:58,374 --> 00:11:59,374
Who knows.

245
00:11:59,442 --> 00:12:00,808
They were never given a fair defense

246
00:12:00,876 --> 00:12:02,176
because they couldn't afford one.

247
00:12:02,245 --> 00:12:04,578
If we're able to get
the Supreme Court to hear their case,

248
00:12:04,647 --> 00:12:05,913
if we're able to win it,

249
00:12:05,982 --> 00:12:07,781
we can change the system,
and we can do it now.

250
00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:09,516
You and I are in agreement, Ms. Keating.

251
00:12:09,585 --> 00:12:11,485
The system does need to change.

252
00:12:12,655 --> 00:12:13,921
But it's not gonna happen this way.

253
00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:17,157
Madam President, it's a solid case,
if only the White House

254
00:12:17,226 --> 00:12:19,326
put pressure on the justices to hear it.

255
00:12:19,395 --> 00:12:22,029
Don't get me wrong. I like the case.
I just don't like the court.

256
00:12:22,098 --> 00:12:23,664
You put this case before
the current roster of judges,

257
00:12:23,733 --> 00:12:25,250
you won't win.

258
00:12:25,285 --> 00:12:26,333
There are rumblings

259
00:12:26,402 --> 00:12:27,868
that at least a couple of
the more conservative judges

260
00:12:27,937 --> 00:12:29,336
may be considering retirement.

261
00:12:29,405 --> 00:12:30,704
Marsh, maybe Kensington.

262
00:12:30,773 --> 00:12:31,872
This time next year,

263
00:12:31,941 --> 00:12:32,973
you could be facing
a whole new ball game.

264
00:12:33,042 --> 00:12:34,074
Next year?

265
00:12:34,143 --> 00:12:35,175
We don't even know

266
00:12:35,244 --> 00:12:36,343
whether these judges are gonna retire.

267
00:12:36,412 --> 00:12:37,745
You're gonna delay
justice for these people

268
00:12:37,813 --> 00:12:38,912
based on a rumor?

269
00:12:38,981 --> 00:12:40,514
Based on certainty.

270
00:12:40,583 --> 00:12:42,116
The certainty that if we move forward
with this now,

271
00:12:42,184 --> 00:12:43,791
we will be shut down.

272
00:12:43,826 --> 00:12:46,681
And all the work that you have done
will be for naught.

273
00:12:46,706 --> 00:12:48,422
All the work I've done? Let me tell you
about the work that I've done.

274
00:12:48,491 --> 00:12:49,556
Madam President,
may I speak to you privately?

275
00:12:49,625 --> 00:12:51,325
- Olivia, let's not...
- No. It's okay.

276
00:12:51,394 --> 00:12:52,493
Let's.

277
00:12:52,561 --> 00:12:55,262
Please, uh, everyone, give us the room.

278
00:12:55,331 --> 00:12:56,430
Ms. Keating, thank you.

279
00:12:56,499 --> 00:12:57,931
I'm so sorry we couldn't
be more accommodating.

280
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,567
Madam President,
thank you for your time.

281
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,479
Why did you agree to take this meeting

282
00:13:12,548 --> 00:13:14,308
if you knew you were going to say no?

283
00:13:15,384 --> 00:13:16,517
First of all,

284
00:13:16,585 --> 00:13:17,918
I agreed to this meeting
as a favor to Fitz.

285
00:13:17,987 --> 00:13:20,521
And secondly, I didn't say no.

286
00:13:20,589 --> 00:13:22,256
I said not now.

287
00:13:22,325 --> 00:13:24,191
This is not the time to punish me.

288
00:13:25,628 --> 00:13:27,094
You really think I'm that small?

289
00:13:27,163 --> 00:13:28,829
I think you're putting the brakes on

290
00:13:28,898 --> 00:13:30,164
something you should want.

291
00:13:30,232 --> 00:13:31,332
And there has to be a reason.

292
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,300
I want this case to move forward
in a year

293
00:13:33,369 --> 00:13:35,436
when it actually has a chance
of succeeding.

294
00:13:35,504 --> 00:13:37,671
The only reason
you want this case to happen now

295
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:39,106
is because you need a win.

296
00:13:39,175 --> 00:13:40,240
You need a win

297
00:13:40,309 --> 00:13:42,109
while there's still a chance for you

298
00:13:42,178 --> 00:13:44,411
to scrape back some influence
in this town.

299
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,946
Beyond the occasional
teaching gig, that is.

300
00:13:46,015 --> 00:13:48,215
Madam President, I don't...

301
00:13:48,284 --> 00:13:49,883
Go ahead. Tell me I'm wrong.

302
00:13:51,587 --> 00:13:52,753
It wouldn't be the first time
you stood in this room

303
00:13:52,822 --> 00:13:53,854
and lied to my face.

304
00:13:58,427 --> 00:13:59,727
We're going to the Supreme Court

305
00:13:59,795 --> 00:14:00,994
with or without you.

306
00:14:01,063 --> 00:14:03,697
You do that,

307
00:14:03,766 --> 00:14:04,932
you will find yourself

308
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,900
an adversary of the White House.

309
00:14:10,906 --> 00:14:12,840
Wouldn't be the first time
for that, either.

310
00:14:22,536 --> 00:14:23,702
Ooh, that was fast.

311
00:14:23,770 --> 00:14:25,914
Did the radiologist say yes
to the payoff,

312
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:27,484
or are we going to have
to turn the screws a little?

313
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:29,588
I couldn't tell you.
Sounds juicy, though.

314
00:14:29,623 --> 00:14:30,739
Oh.

315
00:14:30,774 --> 00:14:32,435
Sure is quiet around here.

316
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:34,594
Everyone call in sick, or...?

317
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:35,804
We're running down cases.

318
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:38,633
So can I help you, Jake?

319
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,145
Admiral? Command?

320
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:43,577
What am I supposed to call you
these days anyway?

321
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:44,775
There's a case making its way

322
00:14:44,810 --> 00:14:46,065
towards the Supreme Court, Perkins.

323
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:48,661
President Grant would prefer
that it stall out before it gets there.

324
00:14:48,696 --> 00:14:49,927
And?

325
00:14:49,995 --> 00:14:52,896
You're coming to us
when you have B613?

326
00:14:53,832 --> 00:14:55,265
I thought you'd take
a personal interest in this case.

327
00:14:55,334 --> 00:14:56,600
What's the case?

328
00:14:56,669 --> 00:14:58,302
It's a criminal-justice reform
class-action

329
00:14:58,370 --> 00:14:59,970
championed by none other
than Olivia Pope.

330
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:01,972
Yeah, well, that's going to be a big no.

331
00:15:02,041 --> 00:15:03,140
I have no interest

332
00:15:03,208 --> 00:15:04,975
in anything having to do
with Olivia Pope.

333
00:15:05,044 --> 00:15:06,310
Mm. Your RSS feed begs to differ.

334
00:15:06,378 --> 00:15:08,345
How many articles about Olivia
have you read this month?

335
00:15:08,414 --> 00:15:09,746
20? 30?

336
00:15:11,016 --> 00:15:12,749
You're spying on my Internet history?

337
00:15:12,818 --> 00:15:14,952
You and about 300 million
of your fellow citizens.

338
00:15:15,020 --> 00:15:16,153
Look, here's the deal.

339
00:15:16,221 --> 00:15:18,055
If Liv's able to score a win
with this case,

340
00:15:18,123 --> 00:15:19,323
it'll clear a path for her

341
00:15:19,391 --> 00:15:20,490
right back into the halls of power.

342
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,125
Are you really gonna tell me

343
00:15:22,194 --> 00:15:24,528
you're willing to stand by
and let that happen?

344
00:15:30,736 --> 00:15:31,835
The President refused to help?

345
00:15:31,904 --> 00:15:33,437
President Grant has made her decision.

346
00:15:33,505 --> 00:15:34,938
Nothing we do now will change that.

347
00:15:35,007 --> 00:15:36,239
She made that crystal clear.

348
00:15:36,308 --> 00:15:37,674
That's it?

349
00:15:38,526 --> 00:15:40,577
That's what I get
by having Olivia Pope on my team...

350
00:15:40,646 --> 00:15:41,878
resignation.

351
00:15:41,947 --> 00:15:43,613
You were supposed to convince her.

352
00:15:43,682 --> 00:15:45,082
What happened when we left the room?

353
00:15:45,150 --> 00:15:46,917
- It doesn't matter.
- It matters to me.

354
00:15:48,620 --> 00:15:50,354
What'd you talk about?

355
00:15:50,422 --> 00:15:51,822
What do you think we talked about?

356
00:15:51,890 --> 00:15:53,623
We talked about you.

357
00:15:54,860 --> 00:15:56,059
Me?

358
00:15:56,128 --> 00:15:57,627
You think the President
doesn't get a full briefing

359
00:15:57,696 --> 00:15:59,062
on every person
who sets foot in her office,

360
00:15:59,131 --> 00:16:01,331
especially when that person's
got a past like yours?

361
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,866
Annalise, she'd made up her mind

362
00:16:02,935 --> 00:16:04,868
before you even opened your mouth.

363
00:16:13,278 --> 00:16:14,311
That woman is impossible!

364
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:16,079
She's passionate about the case.

365
00:16:16,148 --> 00:16:17,280
And I'm not passionate about the case?

366
00:16:17,349 --> 00:16:18,982
It's not my fault

367
00:16:19,051 --> 00:16:20,717
Mellie has chosen to be petty.

368
00:16:20,786 --> 00:16:22,719
It's not Annalise's fault either.

369
00:16:22,788 --> 00:16:25,255
Maybe I could go back
and try to change Mellie's mind.

370
00:16:25,324 --> 00:16:27,457
- Or maybe we don't need Mellie.
- What?

371
00:16:27,526 --> 00:16:29,459
Cut out the middle man.

372
00:16:29,528 --> 00:16:31,428
Put pressure on
the Supreme Court ourselves.

373
00:16:31,497 --> 00:16:33,063
The Fourteenth Amendment

374
00:16:33,132 --> 00:16:34,231
guarantees equal protection
under the law.

375
00:16:34,299 --> 00:16:35,632
Which is simply impossible

376
00:16:35,701 --> 00:16:36,767
if public defenders

377
00:16:36,835 --> 00:16:38,568
are unable to meet the same standards

378
00:16:38,637 --> 00:16:40,537
as their privately paid counterparts.

379
00:16:40,606 --> 00:16:43,640
The Supreme Court must act
to correct that injustice...

380
00:16:43,709 --> 00:16:44,709
You need a majority

381
00:16:44,777 --> 00:16:46,009
to win a case in The Supreme Court.

382
00:16:46,078 --> 00:16:47,944
But to have it heard
only takes four judges.

383
00:16:48,013 --> 00:16:49,346
Stupid "rule of four."

384
00:16:49,415 --> 00:16:51,515
Justice Gutierrez has already expressed

385
00:16:51,583 --> 00:16:52,849
his support for Team Liv.

386
00:16:52,918 --> 00:16:54,284
She only needs three more.

387
00:16:54,353 --> 00:16:55,385
Luckily, Kensington and Marsh

388
00:16:55,454 --> 00:16:56,620
are super into states' rights.

389
00:16:56,688 --> 00:16:58,155
There's no way
they'd entertain this case.

390
00:16:58,223 --> 00:16:59,456
Which leaves these six.

391
00:16:59,525 --> 00:17:01,091
We get four of them on our side,

392
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,526
and Annalise Keating is done.

393
00:17:02,594 --> 00:17:05,095
Of course Justice Ribas believes
in the right to counsel,

394
00:17:05,164 --> 00:17:06,563
but the Constitution
doesn't say anything

395
00:17:06,632 --> 00:17:08,298
about the right to good counsel.

396
00:17:08,367 --> 00:17:10,267
She's a strict constitutionalist.

397
00:17:10,335 --> 00:17:11,568
You don't say.

398
00:17:11,637 --> 00:17:14,237
Public defenders
are overworked and underpaid,

399
00:17:14,306 --> 00:17:17,174
resulting in an inordinate
amount of plea deals.

400
00:17:17,242 --> 00:17:19,209
Innocent people
are willfully going to jail

401
00:17:19,278 --> 00:17:20,710
simply because they're poor.

402
00:17:20,779 --> 00:17:22,045
There's no doubt the system is broken.

403
00:17:22,114 --> 00:17:23,213
But should the federal government

404
00:17:23,282 --> 00:17:24,381
get involved in a state program?

405
00:17:24,450 --> 00:17:25,682
Absolutely not.

406
00:17:25,751 --> 00:17:27,584
Which is why we'll rule
to send the case back

407
00:17:27,653 --> 00:17:29,186
to the Pennsylvania circuit court.

408
00:17:29,254 --> 00:17:30,487
I'm sorry, Mr. Walker,

409
00:17:30,556 --> 00:17:32,574
but I have a more pressing matter
to attend to.

410
00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:34,324
Your Honor what
could be more pressing

411
00:17:34,393 --> 00:17:35,525
than 90% of defendants

412
00:17:35,594 --> 00:17:37,127
being unable to afford
competent counsel?

413
00:17:38,297 --> 00:17:39,696
- Oh.
- Excuse me.

414
00:17:39,765 --> 00:17:41,832
Hold tight.

415
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:42,966
Justice Bass?

416
00:17:44,369 --> 00:17:45,836
Three down. One to go.

417
00:17:45,904 --> 00:17:47,337
So it all rests on...

418
00:17:47,406 --> 00:17:48,572
Justice Mark Spivey.

419
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,407
Of course. He's always the swing vote.

420
00:17:50,476 --> 00:17:52,008
A wild card.
There's no telling what he'll do.

421
00:17:52,077 --> 00:17:54,111
And he never reveals
how he's ruling beforehand.

422
00:17:54,179 --> 00:17:55,745
Just got off the phone
with Spivey's law clerk,

423
00:17:55,814 --> 00:17:57,047
and he agrees with you, Liv.

424
00:17:57,116 --> 00:17:59,015
With a little more media push,
he can be swayed.

425
00:17:59,084 --> 00:18:00,650
Good. Let's set up a sit-down
for me and Noah Baker.

426
00:18:00,719 --> 00:18:01,852
I don't think that's a good idea.

427
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,087
No, you're right. It should be a woman.

428
00:18:04,156 --> 00:18:06,123
Maybe Francesca Hunter?

429
00:18:06,191 --> 00:18:07,657
No, I mean I don't think
it's a good idea

430
00:18:07,726 --> 00:18:08,792
for you to do the interview.

431
00:18:08,861 --> 00:18:09,893
I should do it.

432
00:18:09,962 --> 00:18:12,028
- You?
- Yes.

433
00:18:12,097 --> 00:18:13,163
It's my case. Put me on camera.

434
00:18:13,232 --> 00:18:15,732
If I do that, they will tear you apart.

435
00:18:15,801 --> 00:18:17,501
Bring up all your past sins.

436
00:18:17,569 --> 00:18:18,635
Fine. Bring it on.

437
00:18:18,704 --> 00:18:20,036
I'm tired of hiding in the shadows.

438
00:18:20,105 --> 00:18:21,938
Truth is our greatest weapon.
You said so yourself.

439
00:18:22,007 --> 00:18:24,207
Truth can be unpredictable.
At this point, what's most important

440
00:18:24,276 --> 00:18:26,643
is staying on message
and selling this to Justice Spivey.

441
00:18:26,712 --> 00:18:28,311
Just like you sold it
to President Grant?

442
00:18:34,019 --> 00:18:36,853
- Are you questioning my tactics?
- Should I be?

443
00:18:38,524 --> 00:18:39,589
How about you both do the interview?

444
00:18:39,658 --> 00:18:40,724
Together.

445
00:18:42,294 --> 00:18:43,927
Excuse me?

446
00:18:43,996 --> 00:18:45,395
Annalise, you can convey
the passion behind the case.

447
00:18:45,464 --> 00:18:46,630
Tug at Spivey's heartstrings.

448
00:18:46,698 --> 00:18:48,031
And if the interview
begins to take a turn

449
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:49,166
towards personal issues,

450
00:18:49,234 --> 00:18:51,268
then Ms. Pope, you can steer it back

451
00:18:51,336 --> 00:18:53,503
to what's most important... this case.

452
00:18:53,572 --> 00:18:54,771
Right?

453
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,673
That's exactly what I was gonna say.

454
00:19:04,249 --> 00:19:05,916
Okay.

455
00:19:07,186 --> 00:19:08,218
Fine.

456
00:19:10,689 --> 00:19:11,955
Thank God.

457
00:19:12,024 --> 00:19:13,657
If we do this right,

458
00:19:13,725 --> 00:19:14,891
this interview could be the push

459
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,193
that Spivey needs to hear the case.

460
00:19:16,261 --> 00:19:17,427
- I'll set it up.
- I'll call Spivey's people

461
00:19:17,496 --> 00:19:19,729
- to make sure he's watching.
- Great.

462
00:19:25,370 --> 00:19:29,739
Please tell me you know
a good hairdresser.

463
00:19:31,843 --> 00:19:33,443
You're telling me Spivey is clean?

464
00:19:33,512 --> 00:19:36,079
No weird porn searches?
Not even a creepy library book?

465
00:19:36,148 --> 00:19:37,314
Guy's so clean it's freaky.

466
00:19:37,382 --> 00:19:39,482
If we can't hamstring Spivey,
we could be in trouble.

467
00:19:39,551 --> 00:19:40,850
Liv's killing it in the media.

468
00:19:40,919 --> 00:19:41,985
The public wants reform.

469
00:19:42,054 --> 00:19:43,186
Olivia thinks she can get away

470
00:19:43,255 --> 00:19:44,955
with ramming it down
the Supreme Court's throat.

471
00:19:45,023 --> 00:19:46,089
I mean, why not, right?

472
00:19:46,158 --> 00:19:47,524
She's gotten away with everything else.

473
00:19:47,593 --> 00:19:49,159
That's Liv, though.
Nothing ever sticks to her.

474
00:19:49,228 --> 00:19:50,694
There's got to be
dirt on Spivey somewhere.

475
00:19:50,762 --> 00:19:52,162
Maybe he's just a man of principle.

476
00:19:52,231 --> 00:19:54,164
- Or he's smart.
- Charlie's right. He is smart.

477
00:19:54,233 --> 00:19:57,534
Smart enough to store his dirty laundry
on a separate server.

478
00:19:57,603 --> 00:19:58,701
Find it.

479
00:20:00,372 --> 00:20:01,471
Thank you.

480
00:20:04,009 --> 00:20:06,243
They haven't found
anything on Justice Spivey?

481
00:20:06,311 --> 00:20:07,944
They're still looking.

482
00:20:08,013 --> 00:20:09,045
They're good.

483
00:20:09,114 --> 00:20:10,247
We'll get something we can use

484
00:20:10,315 --> 00:20:11,381
to nudge him over
to our side of the fence.

485
00:20:11,450 --> 00:20:14,117
- Our side of the fence. Wonderful.
- Yes, ma'am.

486
00:20:14,353 --> 00:20:15,418
What about her?

487
00:20:15,487 --> 00:20:18,555
- Her?
- She will find a way.

488
00:20:18,624 --> 00:20:20,323
Even if we get Spivey on our side,

489
00:20:20,392 --> 00:20:22,792
Olivia will find a way
to turn the tide against us.

490
00:20:22,861 --> 00:20:25,629
Again. It's what she does. She wins.

491
00:20:25,697 --> 00:20:27,063
Not without the White House
in her corner.

492
00:20:27,132 --> 00:20:29,165
Pay attention. We are in her corner.

493
00:20:29,234 --> 00:20:30,600
I let her resign.

494
00:20:30,669 --> 00:20:32,602
I let her keep her dignity.

495
00:20:32,671 --> 00:20:34,938
Everyone still thinks
that Olivia Pope is Olivia Pope.

496
00:20:35,007 --> 00:20:37,274
Competent, trusted,
right hand of the King.

497
00:20:37,342 --> 00:20:40,977
Because I let her stay Olivia Pope.

498
00:20:41,046 --> 00:20:42,879
I didn't crush her.

499
00:20:42,948 --> 00:20:44,981
And this is my reward.

500
00:20:46,285 --> 00:20:47,951
No good deed...

501
00:20:48,020 --> 00:20:49,686
You had to help her.

502
00:20:49,755 --> 00:20:51,688
If the public
knew the true circumstances

503
00:20:51,757 --> 00:20:54,958
behind Olivia Pope's dismissal,
it wouldn't have simply hurt her.

504
00:20:55,027 --> 00:20:57,127
- It would have hurt us, too.
- A flesh wound.

505
00:20:57,195 --> 00:20:58,628
We would have found a way
to deal with it

506
00:20:58,697 --> 00:20:59,896
one way or the other.

507
00:20:59,965 --> 00:21:01,031
At the end of the day,
we would've been fine.

508
00:21:07,005 --> 00:21:08,571
We will be fine.

509
00:21:09,374 --> 00:21:10,407
Ma'am, if you're suggesting

510
00:21:10,475 --> 00:21:11,775
that we leak that information now...

511
00:21:11,843 --> 00:21:13,310
Us? The White House?

512
00:21:13,378 --> 00:21:14,711
Leak Liv's firing?

513
00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:17,314
That would be beneath us.

514
00:21:17,382 --> 00:21:19,816
But you are working
with her old team, yes?

515
00:21:19,885 --> 00:21:21,451
I am.

516
00:21:23,355 --> 00:21:24,888
Is it beneath them?

517
00:21:27,693 --> 00:21:29,025
Yes, Madam President.

518
00:21:33,849 --> 00:21:35,919
So she shows up at his house
at 2:00 a.m.

519
00:21:35,954 --> 00:21:37,422
with the other girl in the back seat?

520
00:21:37,457 --> 00:21:39,845
Yes, girl. Then, they started fighting.

521
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,653
It was all some straight up
ratchet mess.

522
00:21:42,688 --> 00:21:43,786
That's how your family do though.

523
00:21:43,821 --> 00:21:46,455
No, that's just one cousin.
They are not all like that.

524
00:21:46,490 --> 00:21:47,748
Everybody got one hood cousin.

525
00:21:47,783 --> 00:21:49,792
- Or aunt.
- Or uncle who used to be a pimp.

526
00:21:49,827 --> 00:21:51,928
- And then found Jesus.
- Oh, I got two of those.

527
00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:01,368
Can you turn that up?

528
00:22:04,907 --> 00:22:06,507
Sources are saying that

529
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:08,675
former Chief of Staff
Olivia Pope's interest

530
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:10,978
in the criminal-justice
class-action suit

531
00:22:11,046 --> 00:22:14,114
is based on a personal vendetta
against President Grant

532
00:22:14,183 --> 00:22:16,717
due to Ms. Pope's being ousted
from the White House.

533
00:22:16,786 --> 00:22:18,886
I can neither confirm nor deny rumors

534
00:22:18,954 --> 00:22:20,354
that Olivia Pope was fired
from the White House.

535
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:22,756
But I will say that President Grant

536
00:22:22,825 --> 00:22:24,358
will not be working with Ms. Pope

537
00:22:24,426 --> 00:22:26,160
on any recent or future endeavors.

538
00:22:28,030 --> 00:22:29,530
You said you left on good terms,

539
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:30,898
that I was the problem with this case.

540
00:22:30,966 --> 00:22:33,066
But really, it's you.

541
00:22:33,135 --> 00:22:34,168
You lied to me.

542
00:22:34,236 --> 00:22:35,242
Can you give us a minute?

543
00:22:42,778 --> 00:22:44,278
So?

544
00:22:44,346 --> 00:22:45,512
Is it true?

545
00:22:45,581 --> 00:22:47,014
I didn't lie.

546
00:22:47,082 --> 00:22:48,682
My resignation was complicated.

547
00:22:48,751 --> 00:22:50,217
Sounds like more spin to me.

548
00:22:50,286 --> 00:22:51,885
You came to me asking for my help...

549
00:22:51,954 --> 00:22:54,021
Because I thought you had
a bite behind that bark.

550
00:22:54,089 --> 00:22:55,389
But instead I found a siddity phony

551
00:22:55,457 --> 00:22:57,257
who judged me from the minute
she laid eyes on me.

552
00:22:57,326 --> 00:23:00,093
- I never judged you.
- Oh, you judged me immediately.

553
00:23:00,162 --> 00:23:01,962
Just like a white man in a boardroom

554
00:23:02,031 --> 00:23:03,163
looking down on me

555
00:23:03,232 --> 00:23:05,365
because my hips are too wide
and my hue too dark.

556
00:23:05,434 --> 00:23:09,002
- Oh, so we're going there. Wow.
- You think we soul sisters

557
00:23:09,071 --> 00:23:10,470
just 'cause you rented out
a hair salon for a few hours

558
00:23:10,539 --> 00:23:12,506
on the black side of town? Please.

559
00:23:12,575 --> 00:23:15,809
I've dealt with plenty
of bougie-ass black women just like you.

560
00:23:15,878 --> 00:23:17,744
Spent most of your life
in boarding school,

561
00:23:17,813 --> 00:23:18,946
Ivy League Universities,

562
00:23:19,014 --> 00:23:20,280
with a horse between your legs

563
00:23:20,349 --> 00:23:21,682
and a silver spoon in your mouth.

564
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:23,417
You're not the only one
who knows how to Google.

565
00:23:25,354 --> 00:23:28,055
You called me a hot mess, remember?

566
00:23:28,123 --> 00:23:30,324
But it sounds to me

567
00:23:30,392 --> 00:23:32,759
that despite all of your failed attempts

568
00:23:32,828 --> 00:23:35,329
to stand above me
on your little pedestal,

569
00:23:35,397 --> 00:23:37,965
we're the same.

570
00:23:38,033 --> 00:23:41,602
So keep it real, Olivia Pope.

571
00:23:41,670 --> 00:23:43,070
Why'd you leave the White House?

572
00:23:46,809 --> 00:23:49,009
You know, your skin tone
and measurements

573
00:23:49,078 --> 00:23:51,478
aren't the reason people don't like you.

574
00:23:51,547 --> 00:23:54,014
It's you, Annalise Keating.

575
00:23:54,083 --> 00:23:57,885
You are a bully who insults people

576
00:23:57,953 --> 00:23:59,253
and then wonders
why they won't help you.

577
00:23:59,321 --> 00:24:00,621
But hey, you're just
trying to keep it real?

578
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:02,022
Right?

579
00:24:02,091 --> 00:24:04,892
How's that working out for you?
Can't be that great

580
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,927
if you had to haul
your broke ass on the Megabus

581
00:24:06,996 --> 00:24:08,762
to beg for my help.

582
00:24:08,831 --> 00:24:11,365
You may think you know who I am
and what I'm about,

583
00:24:11,433 --> 00:24:12,733
but don't get it twisted.

584
00:24:12,801 --> 00:24:14,701
We are not the same.

585
00:24:14,770 --> 00:24:16,536
So allow me to reintroduce myself.

586
00:24:16,605 --> 00:24:18,272
My name is Olivia Pope.

587
00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:21,141
And I don't have
to explain myself to anyone.

588
00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:22,743
Especially you.

589
00:24:30,185 --> 00:24:31,485
Kevin, you can come back.

590
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:33,487
We're done.

591
00:24:33,555 --> 00:24:35,055
Don't worry about your wash and press.

592
00:24:35,124 --> 00:24:36,223
I'll be sure to put that

593
00:24:36,292 --> 00:24:38,158
on my siddity-ass,
no limit, platinum card.

594
00:24:38,227 --> 00:24:40,027
- I'll pay for my own damn hair.
- Okay.

595
00:24:45,534 --> 00:24:47,100
Still no comment from Olivia Pope

596
00:24:47,169 --> 00:24:48,435
on the allegations

597
00:24:48,504 --> 00:24:50,137
that she was fired from the White House.

598
00:24:50,205 --> 00:24:52,306
Insiders in Washington
are left speculating

599
00:24:52,374 --> 00:24:53,640
about what could've happened

600
00:24:53,709 --> 00:24:55,342
behind the closed doors of the Oval,

601
00:24:55,411 --> 00:24:56,777
how Pope became a pariah,

602
00:24:56,845 --> 00:24:58,078
and why she lied about it

603
00:24:58,147 --> 00:24:59,846
in her resignation announcement.

604
00:24:59,915 --> 00:25:01,682
- The White House...
- Can you believe this?

605
00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:03,116
The White House is playing dirty.

606
00:25:05,521 --> 00:25:06,887
It wasn't the White House.

607
00:25:06,956 --> 00:25:09,389
- ...With more questions than answers...
- This was you?

608
00:25:09,458 --> 00:25:10,657
Well, Quinn technically.

609
00:25:10,726 --> 00:25:11,892
Me by proxy.

610
00:25:11,961 --> 00:25:14,294
Oh. Okay. So that's a yes.

611
00:25:14,363 --> 00:25:16,430
It wasn't personal.

612
00:25:16,498 --> 00:25:17,597
She needed to be stopped

613
00:25:17,666 --> 00:25:18,865
for the greater good of our nation.

614
00:25:18,934 --> 00:25:20,033
Stopped?

615
00:25:20,102 --> 00:25:21,301
She's trying to reform
our justice system,

616
00:25:21,370 --> 00:25:22,669
which as Attorney General
of the United Sta...

617
00:25:22,738 --> 00:25:25,205
Mellie wants the same reform.
Just on a safer timeline.

618
00:25:25,274 --> 00:25:28,141
Sure, but maybe playing it safe
is the problem.

619
00:25:28,210 --> 00:25:30,243
I respect President Grant's reasoning,

620
00:25:30,312 --> 00:25:31,511
but a "safe timeline"

621
00:25:31,580 --> 00:25:33,547
is not sending someone away for 20 years

622
00:25:33,615 --> 00:25:35,115
on a simple possession charge.

623
00:25:35,184 --> 00:25:36,516
But there was a narrative

624
00:25:36,585 --> 00:25:38,485
that is now being called into question.

625
00:25:38,554 --> 00:25:40,687
- Abby...
- What?

626
00:25:40,756 --> 00:25:42,322
It's okay to miss her.

627
00:25:42,391 --> 00:25:44,424
...With the White House,
or a calculated move...

628
00:25:44,493 --> 00:25:47,127
I don't miss her.
I just don't trust her. Okay?

629
00:25:47,196 --> 00:25:48,395
Okay.

630
00:26:16,225 --> 00:26:18,091
What is it that you think
you're gonna get out of this?

631
00:26:20,629 --> 00:26:21,962
Right now, at the moment,

632
00:26:22,031 --> 00:26:23,463
I'd be happy just to find my keys.

633
00:26:23,532 --> 00:26:24,798
Oh, would you look at that.

634
00:26:24,867 --> 00:26:26,466
Now, move, please.

635
00:26:26,535 --> 00:26:28,068
You're on the wrong side
of this fight, Quinn.

636
00:26:29,805 --> 00:26:32,172
I'm on the only side that matters...
my client's.

637
00:26:32,241 --> 00:26:33,473
Your client? The White House?

638
00:26:33,542 --> 00:26:35,409
That's who you're working with
to deny the rights

639
00:26:35,477 --> 00:26:38,278
of 90 wrongfully imprisoned
people, right?

640
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:42,649
I'm not the media, Liv.

641
00:26:42,718 --> 00:26:44,651
You're not going to spin me.

642
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,453
You're not here
because you care about those people.

643
00:26:46,522 --> 00:26:49,022
You got kicked out of the game
and you want back in.

644
00:26:49,091 --> 00:26:51,425
Don't pretend you have anything on your
mind other than you.

645
00:26:51,493 --> 00:26:53,827
Quinn...

646
00:26:53,896 --> 00:26:54,896
Is that funny?

647
00:26:54,963 --> 00:26:56,063
It's not funny.

648
00:26:56,131 --> 00:26:57,431
It's ironic.

649
00:26:57,499 --> 00:26:59,566
You're not here for your client.

650
00:26:59,635 --> 00:27:00,834
You're here for me.

651
00:27:00,903 --> 00:27:02,903
You're here for revenge.

652
00:27:04,373 --> 00:27:06,907
And so what if I am?

653
00:27:06,975 --> 00:27:08,909
I'd say I'm more than a little bit due,

654
00:27:08,977 --> 00:27:10,277
wouldn't you?

655
00:27:10,345 --> 00:27:14,247
You said your QPA
would be about justice.

656
00:27:14,316 --> 00:27:16,817
Don't let go of that.

657
00:27:16,885 --> 00:27:19,453
Don't compromise yourself
just because you hate me.

658
00:27:19,521 --> 00:27:21,688
You're really gonna want to walk away

659
00:27:21,757 --> 00:27:23,290
before I do something I regret.

660
00:27:23,358 --> 00:27:25,025
You already have.

661
00:27:25,094 --> 00:27:26,493
You took the case.

662
00:27:26,562 --> 00:27:28,628
I guarantee one way or the other,

663
00:27:28,697 --> 00:27:30,263
you will come to regret it.

664
00:27:46,867 --> 00:27:48,041
Do you need anything?

665
00:27:48,966 --> 00:27:50,366
What?

666
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,715
Do you need anything
for your interview tomorrow?

667
00:27:54,784 --> 00:27:56,083
No.

668
00:27:58,588 --> 00:28:00,421
You're not gonna win this thing.

669
00:28:03,893 --> 00:28:05,626
I'll do what I can with the interview.

670
00:28:05,695 --> 00:28:08,062
But I can only spin so much.
It won't be enough.

671
00:28:09,866 --> 00:28:13,067
She has problems.

672
00:28:13,136 --> 00:28:14,335
Big problems

673
00:28:14,404 --> 00:28:15,870
that she needs to return
to Philadelphia with

674
00:28:15,938 --> 00:28:16,971
as soon as humanly possible.

675
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,372
That woman...

676
00:28:18,441 --> 00:28:20,674
I think the only one with
big problems here is you.

677
00:28:20,743 --> 00:28:23,210
Fitz, I'm in no mood.

678
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:24,478
Neither am I.

679
00:28:28,618 --> 00:28:31,218
You know how important this is.

680
00:28:31,287 --> 00:28:34,622
You know how long it's taken
for us to get here.

681
00:28:34,690 --> 00:28:36,222
And I am very sorry,
but Annalise Keating...

682
00:28:36,446 --> 00:28:39,126
Oh, for the love...
This is not about Annalise Keating.

683
00:28:39,195 --> 00:28:42,196
This is about Olivia Pope.

684
00:28:42,265 --> 00:28:44,265
Where the hell is she?

685
00:28:45,135 --> 00:28:47,035
You saw the news.

686
00:28:47,503 --> 00:28:48,770
It's over.

687
00:28:48,838 --> 00:28:50,438
I don't accept that.

688
00:28:50,507 --> 00:28:51,773
You don't accept that.

689
00:28:51,841 --> 00:28:55,510
A couple of reporters going on TV
saying mean things about you?

690
00:28:55,578 --> 00:28:56,978
How unique. How different.

691
00:28:57,047 --> 00:28:58,813
Rare air you're breathing right now.

692
00:28:58,882 --> 00:29:00,648
Olivia Pope versus the White House?

693
00:29:00,717 --> 00:29:02,383
That's new.

694
00:29:02,452 --> 00:29:04,619
You forced to work with someone
you can't stand,

695
00:29:04,688 --> 00:29:05,787
someone you disagree with,

696
00:29:05,855 --> 00:29:07,555
someone who calls you on your crap?

697
00:29:07,624 --> 00:29:10,625
Done it before, Liv,
sailed through it before,

698
00:29:10,694 --> 00:29:12,193
and you never folded.

699
00:29:12,262 --> 00:29:14,128
Not once.

700
00:29:14,197 --> 00:29:16,631
So why now are you sitting there,

701
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:18,633
- acting like...
- Because I'm not that person anymore.

702
00:29:18,702 --> 00:29:20,201
I'm no longer the woman you...

703
00:29:24,441 --> 00:29:26,674
Things are different now, Fitz.

704
00:29:26,743 --> 00:29:27,875
Why did you take this case?

705
00:29:29,846 --> 00:29:31,546
Olivia.

706
00:29:31,614 --> 00:29:32,714
Answer the question.

707
00:29:32,782 --> 00:29:33,848
Because it matters.

708
00:29:33,917 --> 00:29:35,917
I took this case because it matters.

709
00:29:35,985 --> 00:29:37,218
Because you want to change the world.

710
00:29:37,287 --> 00:29:38,553
Because I want to change the world.

711
00:29:38,621 --> 00:29:40,621
Okay?

712
00:29:40,690 --> 00:29:42,990
Okay.

713
00:29:43,059 --> 00:29:44,459
There you are.

714
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:52,967
You're still you.

715
00:29:53,036 --> 00:29:57,371
They just don't see it.

716
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,539
You just don't see it.

717
00:30:23,733 --> 00:30:25,066
What is that?

718
00:30:25,135 --> 00:30:27,401
Just a little something that
might make you feel better.

719
00:30:31,474 --> 00:30:33,107
- Abby!
- What?

720
00:30:33,176 --> 00:30:34,842
Charlie found dirt on Spivey.

721
00:30:34,911 --> 00:30:37,011
Oh-ho.

722
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,446
Oh, this is good.

723
00:30:38,515 --> 00:30:39,981
There's a reason this guy
kept his secrets buried deep.

724
00:30:40,049 --> 00:30:42,650
The White House will control Spivey
with that information.

725
00:30:42,719 --> 00:30:43,918
Liv is never gonna know what hit her.

726
00:30:43,987 --> 00:30:47,455
She is done.

727
00:30:50,894 --> 00:30:52,059
What?

728
00:30:52,128 --> 00:30:53,427
I don't know. It's just...

729
00:30:53,496 --> 00:30:55,897
I'm all for playing dirty.
But we're gladiators, right?

730
00:30:55,965 --> 00:30:57,765
When we play dirty,
it's for a good reason.

731
00:30:57,834 --> 00:30:59,467
This is a good reason.

732
00:30:59,536 --> 00:31:00,935
Of course it is.

733
00:31:04,741 --> 00:31:05,741
Right.

734
00:31:13,783 --> 00:31:14,849
I think you'll be happy

735
00:31:14,918 --> 00:31:15,983
with what we found on Justice Spivey.

736
00:31:16,052 --> 00:31:18,186
Pretty much speaks for itself.

737
00:31:18,254 --> 00:31:19,587
This is good stuff, Perkins.

738
00:31:19,656 --> 00:31:21,556
- I knew you'd come through.
- Hey.

739
00:31:21,624 --> 00:31:22,824
You never told me...

740
00:31:22,892 --> 00:31:24,725
why's the President
so against a case like this

741
00:31:24,794 --> 00:31:26,093
getting to the Supreme Court?

742
00:31:26,162 --> 00:31:28,162
You thought this was about the case?

743
00:31:28,231 --> 00:31:30,598
No, I...

744
00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:32,800
We got the chance
to finally check Olivia Pope.

745
00:31:32,869 --> 00:31:34,402
It's what we all wanted, isn't it?

746
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:35,837
Yeah.

747
00:31:35,905 --> 00:31:37,071
Of course.

748
00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:39,640
You have a good day, Perkins.

749
00:31:58,027 --> 00:31:59,994
You sure this is a good idea?

750
00:32:00,063 --> 00:32:01,796
Not really.

751
00:32:01,865 --> 00:32:04,398
Ms. Pope and Ms. Keating,
thank you for joining us.

752
00:32:04,467 --> 00:32:06,667
Now, before we get into this case,

753
00:32:06,736 --> 00:32:09,003
there's a new story we can't ignore

754
00:32:09,072 --> 00:32:10,872
and we'd very much like
to get your response to,

755
00:32:10,940 --> 00:32:11,973
Ms. Pope.

756
00:32:12,041 --> 00:32:13,741
Were you fired by President Grant?

757
00:32:14,644 --> 00:32:16,143
Yes. I was.

758
00:32:16,212 --> 00:32:19,146
Why were you fired?

759
00:32:19,215 --> 00:32:21,883
Difficult challenges
mean difficult decisions,

760
00:32:21,951 --> 00:32:24,385
having to choose between
the bad or the worse.

761
00:32:24,454 --> 00:32:26,420
Stakes are high.
Inevitably someone gets hurt.

762
00:32:26,489 --> 00:32:28,422
That time it was me.

763
00:32:28,491 --> 00:32:30,491
Do you regret how you handled anything,

764
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,894
specifically while you were
in the White House?

765
00:32:32,962 --> 00:32:35,429
I regret

766
00:32:35,498 --> 00:32:37,231
that my relationship
with President Grant

767
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:39,634
dissolved to the point of my dismissal,

768
00:32:39,702 --> 00:32:42,069
that ties were severed

769
00:32:42,138 --> 00:32:43,905
between the people I am closest with.

770
00:32:43,973 --> 00:32:47,008
People I have served.
People I have mentored.

771
00:32:47,076 --> 00:32:49,577
People I still love.

772
00:32:49,646 --> 00:32:51,512
But I am a fighter.

773
00:32:51,581 --> 00:32:52,980
So I don't regret the fight.

774
00:32:53,049 --> 00:32:55,016
I can't. It's who I am.

775
00:32:55,084 --> 00:32:56,284
It's what I do.

776
00:32:56,352 --> 00:33:00,154
And luckily, I am not alone.

777
00:33:00,223 --> 00:33:03,457
Next to me is one of
the most courageous fighters

778
00:33:03,526 --> 00:33:04,558
I have ever met.

779
00:33:04,627 --> 00:33:06,093
I am just as proud to be in the service

780
00:33:06,162 --> 00:33:07,762
of her fight to get this case heard

781
00:33:07,830 --> 00:33:09,330
by the highest court of the land

782
00:33:09,399 --> 00:33:11,332
as anything I have ever done.

783
00:33:11,401 --> 00:33:14,068
And while I understand
the interest in me,

784
00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:15,269
I have lost very little

785
00:33:15,338 --> 00:33:16,470
compared to the men and women...

786
00:33:16,539 --> 00:33:17,605
many of them innocent...

787
00:33:17,674 --> 00:33:19,707
stuck in prison for decades

788
00:33:19,776 --> 00:33:22,043
because of an inadequate defense

789
00:33:22,111 --> 00:33:23,744
provided by our legal system.

790
00:33:23,813 --> 00:33:25,379
So I respectfully ask the public,

791
00:33:25,448 --> 00:33:26,681
including you, Francesca,

792
00:33:26,749 --> 00:33:28,215
to shift focus to what matters...

793
00:33:28,284 --> 00:33:30,318
the fight to reform
our criminal-justice system.

794
00:33:30,386 --> 00:33:32,153
And the woman
who is leading that charge,

795
00:33:32,221 --> 00:33:33,754
fighting that fight for all of us.

796
00:33:33,823 --> 00:33:35,256
Annalise Keating.

797
00:33:38,661 --> 00:33:40,127
All right then.

798
00:33:40,196 --> 00:33:42,163
Annalise?

799
00:33:42,231 --> 00:33:44,365
Now is the time.

800
00:33:44,434 --> 00:33:46,667
We can't wait another political season,

801
00:33:46,736 --> 00:33:48,035
another month, another day.

802
00:33:48,104 --> 00:33:50,404
There are people rotting in prison

803
00:33:50,473 --> 00:33:53,407
because of a judicial system
that's messed up.

804
00:33:53,476 --> 00:33:54,508
All we're asking

805
00:33:54,577 --> 00:33:56,510
is for an hour of the court's time

806
00:33:56,579 --> 00:33:58,946
to hear our case, make a decision.

807
00:33:59,015 --> 00:34:02,083
Help us do that. Please.

808
00:34:06,556 --> 00:34:08,122
I think what Ms. Pope and Ms. Keating

809
00:34:08,191 --> 00:34:09,924
said about the current state
of our justice system

810
00:34:09,993 --> 00:34:11,492
was exactly right, Mike.

811
00:34:11,561 --> 00:34:12,960
It is a travesty... plain and simple.

812
00:34:13,029 --> 00:34:15,429
And if the Supreme Court
doesn't hear this case,

813
00:34:15,498 --> 00:34:16,764
it'd be a damn shame.

814
00:34:16,833 --> 00:34:18,733
- Damn right.
- Hopefully Justice Spivey agrees.

815
00:34:18,801 --> 00:34:20,401
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, no thank you.

816
00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:21,836
Oh, I-I...

817
00:34:21,904 --> 00:34:23,304
Right.

818
00:34:23,373 --> 00:34:25,239
- I didn't mean to...
- It's fine. Don't let me stop you.

819
00:34:27,276 --> 00:34:29,076
Popcorn and wine together?

820
00:34:29,145 --> 00:34:30,644
Yeah, it's kind of my thing.

821
00:34:30,713 --> 00:34:33,314
Looks like a Megabus special
if you ask me.

822
00:34:33,383 --> 00:34:35,883
Mm. More like a siddity snack.

823
00:34:41,090 --> 00:34:42,490
Marcus.

824
00:34:45,194 --> 00:34:47,395
Any update on Spivey?

825
00:34:47,463 --> 00:34:48,763
Yeah, he saw the interview.

826
00:34:48,831 --> 00:34:50,064
It didn't change his mind.

827
00:34:50,133 --> 00:34:51,265
He won't hear the case.

828
00:34:52,668 --> 00:34:53,701
Thanks.

829
00:34:59,475 --> 00:35:01,942
I'm sorry.

830
00:35:02,011 --> 00:35:03,644
We have a very conservative
bench right now...

831
00:35:03,713 --> 00:35:07,148
After all of that,
to be so close and still...

832
00:35:11,988 --> 00:35:13,487
I'm sorry.

833
00:35:13,556 --> 00:35:14,789
They only need four justices

834
00:35:14,857 --> 00:35:17,224
- to get the case heard.
- Right. It's the rule of four.

835
00:35:17,293 --> 00:35:20,384
So Bass and Gutierrez...
they'll vote for this in a heartbeat.

836
00:35:21,150 --> 00:35:22,882
I wanted to be President.

837
00:35:22,951 --> 00:35:23,983
Growing up, it's all I thought about.

838
00:35:24,052 --> 00:35:25,284
Or at least a senator.

839
00:35:25,353 --> 00:35:27,053
I had this vision of D.C.

840
00:35:27,121 --> 00:35:29,121
as a place full of
attractive young people,

841
00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:31,891
going to fancy galas,
and trying to do good in the world.

842
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,227
Instead, it's like an uglier Philly

843
00:35:34,295 --> 00:35:37,163
with a bunch of narcissistic,
power-hungry cowards.

844
00:35:37,232 --> 00:35:39,265
Hey now... who you calling ugly?

845
00:35:40,902 --> 00:35:42,802
Well, I didn't say everyone.

846
00:35:51,980 --> 00:35:52,980
Damn.

847
00:35:53,047 --> 00:35:54,547
Strong?

848
00:35:54,616 --> 00:35:56,649
That's why I've been coming here
since I was 16.

849
00:35:56,718 --> 00:35:58,451
You're from here?

850
00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:00,519
This is the neighborhood.

851
00:36:00,588 --> 00:36:01,954
Good for you for getting out.

852
00:36:05,093 --> 00:36:07,560
You know, I may live and work
in the other D.C. now.

853
00:36:07,629 --> 00:36:10,162
But everything I've done,
everything I've worked for,

854
00:36:10,231 --> 00:36:11,964
I've done because of this place...

855
00:36:12,033 --> 00:36:13,699
Because I grew up around

856
00:36:13,768 --> 00:36:15,368
the hardest-working people in America,

857
00:36:15,436 --> 00:36:16,602
who got the worst treatment,

858
00:36:16,671 --> 00:36:18,537
and I want to do something
to change that.

859
00:36:18,606 --> 00:36:20,306
I'll never stop working for them.

860
00:36:20,375 --> 00:36:23,109
Just like you'll never stop
fighting for your case

861
00:36:23,177 --> 00:36:24,243
in whatever way you can.

862
00:36:25,146 --> 00:36:27,213
This place has my heart.

863
00:36:27,282 --> 00:36:29,949
Unless it takes my liver.

864
00:36:35,423 --> 00:36:36,956
Anyway, we had a crap day.

865
00:36:37,025 --> 00:36:38,624
Sorry for making you come
to a place like this.

866
00:36:38,693 --> 00:36:42,828
No. I'm liking this bar.

867
00:36:49,804 --> 00:36:51,203
Asher.

868
00:36:51,272 --> 00:36:53,472
Cool name.

869
00:36:53,541 --> 00:36:55,675
I... I should get going.

870
00:36:55,743 --> 00:36:58,277
Uh, we're... we're probably
heading home tomorrow,

871
00:36:58,346 --> 00:37:01,147
and, so, I need to pack.

872
00:37:01,215 --> 00:37:04,283
Um...

873
00:37:04,352 --> 00:37:05,718
Thank you for the drink.

874
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:33,813
Spivey's decision wasn't based

875
00:37:33,881 --> 00:37:35,047
on the merits of the case.

876
00:37:37,785 --> 00:37:40,019
Charlie found it.

877
00:37:40,088 --> 00:37:41,354
I gave it to Jake. I'm sure he used it.

878
00:37:41,422 --> 00:37:42,755
He must have.

879
00:37:42,824 --> 00:37:44,490
There's no way Spivey saw
that interview last night

880
00:37:44,559 --> 00:37:45,658
without being affected by it.

881
00:37:45,727 --> 00:37:48,194
If you could find a way
to make that story disappear,

882
00:37:48,262 --> 00:37:50,129
maybe you'd get a different result.

883
00:37:50,198 --> 00:37:54,834
To be clear, I did not do this for you.

884
00:37:54,902 --> 00:37:57,103
You were right.

885
00:37:57,171 --> 00:38:00,639
I did say my QPA would be about justice.

886
00:38:00,708 --> 00:38:02,141
Now, it still is.

887
00:38:11,552 --> 00:38:12,585
Justice Spivey?

888
00:38:12,653 --> 00:38:13,986
Ms. Pope.

889
00:38:14,055 --> 00:38:15,287
Now, should I tell you up front

890
00:38:15,356 --> 00:38:16,922
that your visit is futile,

891
00:38:16,991 --> 00:38:18,924
or would you like me
to pretend for a while?

892
00:38:18,993 --> 00:38:20,559
I don't want you to pretend.

893
00:38:20,628 --> 00:38:22,528
I do want you to change your vote.

894
00:38:22,597 --> 00:38:23,763
I can't do that.

895
00:38:26,067 --> 00:38:27,600
Actually, you can now.

896
00:38:33,174 --> 00:38:34,273
Six years ago,

897
00:38:34,342 --> 00:38:35,808
your son killed a woman
in a hit and run.

898
00:38:35,877 --> 00:38:37,410
You paid off the only witness.

899
00:38:39,180 --> 00:38:40,713
How did you get this?

900
00:38:40,782 --> 00:38:42,114
I got it from the same people

901
00:38:42,183 --> 00:38:44,183
who gave it to the White House
yesterday.

902
00:38:44,252 --> 00:38:46,152
Mere hours before you made up your mind.

903
00:38:46,220 --> 00:38:48,120
I am guessing that is not a coincidence.

904
00:38:50,391 --> 00:38:51,590
It was an accident.

905
00:38:51,659 --> 00:38:53,392
He... he wasn't drinking,
he wasn't texting,

906
00:38:53,461 --> 00:38:55,027
he wasn't...

907
00:38:55,096 --> 00:38:57,730
He was 16.

908
00:38:57,799 --> 00:38:59,265
It was an accident.

909
00:38:59,333 --> 00:39:01,867
You people are using this
to blackmail me?

910
00:39:01,936 --> 00:39:03,903
I'm not trying to blackmail you,
Justice Spivey.

911
00:39:03,971 --> 00:39:05,504
In fact, I want to tell you something

912
00:39:05,573 --> 00:39:07,039
the White House forgot to mention.

913
00:39:07,108 --> 00:39:11,010
The witness you paid off
died two years ago.

914
00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:13,913
The payment you made
could still take you down.

915
00:39:13,981 --> 00:39:16,916
But without him around to talk,
it's easy to bury.

916
00:39:16,984 --> 00:39:20,519
I'm good at that kind of thing.
The best, actually.

917
00:39:20,588 --> 00:39:22,354
I can fix it for you,
make it all go away,

918
00:39:22,423 --> 00:39:24,090
get you out from under the White House.

919
00:39:24,158 --> 00:39:26,092
I only ask one thing in return.

920
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,127
That I hear the case,
that I side with you.

921
00:39:28,196 --> 00:39:29,395
No.

922
00:39:29,464 --> 00:39:31,530
That you listen to your conscience.

923
00:39:32,767 --> 00:39:34,700
Like I said,

924
00:39:34,769 --> 00:39:37,470
I didn't come here to blackmail you.

925
00:39:37,538 --> 00:39:39,939
I'm done trying to influence people

926
00:39:40,007 --> 00:39:41,574
with anything but the truth.

927
00:39:41,642 --> 00:39:43,342
And the truth is,

928
00:39:43,411 --> 00:39:46,112
if your son had stood trial
for his crime,

929
00:39:46,180 --> 00:39:48,614
I know that you would have wanted him

930
00:39:48,683 --> 00:39:52,151
to have the best representation
possible.

931
00:39:52,220 --> 00:39:53,986
The families of our plaintiffs

932
00:39:54,055 --> 00:39:55,855
want the same thing for them, too.

933
00:39:55,923 --> 00:39:57,890
Don't they at least deserve the chance

934
00:39:57,959 --> 00:39:59,758
to have this case heard?

935
00:40:01,929 --> 00:40:04,864
Reports this afternoon
coming out of the Supreme Court...

936
00:40:04,932 --> 00:40:06,832
The class-action lawsuit spearheaded

937
00:40:06,901 --> 00:40:09,535
by former White House
Chief of Staff Olivia Pope,

938
00:40:09,604 --> 00:40:11,804
along with Philadelphia
attorney Annalise Keating,

939
00:40:11,873 --> 00:40:13,939
has just been added
to the court's docket.

940
00:40:14,008 --> 00:40:16,342
Justice Spivey apparently making

941
00:40:16,410 --> 00:40:18,744
an impassioned plea
to his fellow justices,

942
00:40:18,813 --> 00:40:21,113
asking that they not only
consider the case,

943
00:40:21,182 --> 00:40:22,615
but fast-track it as well.

944
00:40:22,683 --> 00:40:24,283
The stunning decision

945
00:40:24,352 --> 00:40:25,618
is not only a victory
for Pope and Keating,

946
00:40:25,686 --> 00:40:27,286
but is also being hailed

947
00:40:27,355 --> 00:40:29,054
as a significant step forward
in the effort

948
00:40:29,123 --> 00:40:32,091
to reform America's
criminal-justice system.

949
00:40:34,529 --> 00:40:35,728
Olivia.

950
00:40:35,796 --> 00:40:37,029
Annalise.

951
00:40:37,098 --> 00:40:40,032
I guess this makes you
exactly what I thought.

952
00:40:40,101 --> 00:40:41,267
What would that be?

953
00:40:41,335 --> 00:40:42,501
A miracle worker.

954
00:40:46,374 --> 00:40:48,174
So what now?

955
00:40:48,242 --> 00:40:49,842
You go on to your teaching gig?

956
00:40:49,911 --> 00:40:51,410
I go on to the Supreme Court?

957
00:40:51,479 --> 00:40:53,512
Is that what you would like to happen?

958
00:40:53,581 --> 00:40:55,614
Not exactly.

959
00:40:55,683 --> 00:40:58,284
- You?
- Nope.

960
00:41:00,087 --> 00:41:02,121
Is this your way of saying
you'll join me?

961
00:41:04,559 --> 00:41:06,859
Is this your way of asking?

962
00:41:09,830 --> 00:41:11,363
Let's go.

963
00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:28,100
