no. cyrus is the white house chief of staff. he'd never-- if he said he's taking care of it-- huck, i know cyrus-- he has a guy. you've met him. charlie from b613. oh, my god. cyrus is going to kill hollis doyle? are you... (breath quavers) are you sure? oh, my god. (exhales) olivia. (monitor beeping) what a pleasant surprise. i'm turning him in. hollis? i'll try to keep election rigging out of it. whether or not that's possible, i don't know. probably not, since david rosen is about to launch his official investigation into defiance. i thought we took care of that. not well enough.

what does cyrus have to say? cyrus is exploring a more permanent solution to our hollis troubles. i'll do what i can to protect you. no. verna-- look at me. there's nothing left to protect. the day i agreed to election rigging is the day i signed my death sentence. i've paid my price already. but you... you have a chance at redemption. take it. (projector and camera shutter clicking) damn it! trixie! don't ever talk me into sushi again! i've eaten a whole plate of this stuff, and i'm still starvin'! go to gettysburger and get me a general lee with cheese and bacon! trixie? what the hell is this? a warrant for the search and seizure of any evidence relevant to the attempted assassination of the president.

hey, easy! sir. whoa! now hold on a second. i don't know what that is, but it's not my phone. (snaps shut) you hear me? i'm talking to you. got it. bring him in. so what now? i question him, try to squeeze a confession out of him. i have 48 hours to file charges if i can. you let him go. not that the phone isn't great. the phone is lovely. bless you for bringing it to my attention, but it's not enough to file charges. t when you're hollis doyle and own half the planet. for that i need evidence-- witness, proof of money exchanging hands, motive. i'll do my best with hollis and becky, but anything you can bring to the table is much appreciated. i'll keep that in mind. but just so you know, this doesn't make us even. not even close. and it won't stop me from coming after you-- guns blazing, both barrels-- if it looks, as i strongly suspect,

or worse, if you try to screw me again. in that case, god help you. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. ...one of many pieces in my life. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. roblems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed.

at have you done? why the hell is hollis doyle in custody?

i had a solution. and i chose another one. i told you i would handle it. how?! "how" is not the point! "how" is exactly the point! hollis doyle is a tumor on this administration and on everything we built. he tried to kill fitz. how are you not wanting to rain vengeance down upon that man?! i'm more interested in justice! justice is for regular people! justice is for fatty in ohio folding their laundry and drinking their beers. we are not regular people! we are. we're the people. and if we're not, we should be, because that's what it means, "we the people." it means all of us. d be brought to justice. and if what we did gets out? then it gets out, and we're brought to justice. you're willing to bring down the whole republic because you feel guilty. you know what our electoral process is! it's magical! it's like believing in santa or the tooth fairy or the easter bunny-- magical, as long as they believe. what you're doing is telling the people that the shiny presents and the bulging stockings on christmas morning are just mom and dad staying up all night to do the work.

we're the easter bunny, we're the tooth fairy. you're taking the magic away! you're ruining christmas morning, and the whole republic is gonna come crumbling down because you're not tough enough to do what needs to be done! get your house in order, cyrus, and hire a lawyer. a good one! and olivia's turned hollis doyle in for conspiracy to assassinate the president. i don't understand. he's being held and questioned. the thing she didn't want to do, r to do, she's now gone ahead and done? that's correct. why? doesn't matter. yeah, see, that doesn't work for me anymore. she must have had her reasons. that, either. olivia does want she does when she wants, and no one dare question or ask for an explanation. what do you want to know? i did things-- things that have affected your lives, made life hard for each of you.

and it's time for me to come clean to you. to answer any and all questions you have. i don't want to know. well, i do. no, you don't. 'cause that puts you in legal jeopardy of being subpoenaed and held as a material witness. you want to make that choice, i'll leave the room. i'll go with him. me, too. moment of truth. you in or you out? on the team, or in the cold? what do you need us all to do? the phone--it's not enough to tie back in hollis. can't the feds give becky a deal, see if she'll name hollis? becky's not talking, but maybe becky got paid. we follow the money trail. find me a payment from hollis to becky, i can make this stick. (sighs) where did you get all this info? i took photos of becky's i.d.s. it's all lies. got a firm that handles security for doyle energy. they farm out a lot of jobs

found becky. david rosen has been building a case against hollis and you for months. you want me to talk to him, see what else he's got on hollis? i saw david. he's the one i turned hollis in to. you saw david? okay. i'll keep at the superpac filings, see where it leads. if jesse used software to rig the election, working for hollis... if we can get into jesse's bank account, we can maybe see the payment hollis made to him, and then see if he used the same account to pay becky. good idea. too bad you can't access a dead man's bank account. maybe you can.

urizing lotion with 5 vital nutrients for healthier looking skin in just one day. aveeno?. naturally beautiful results? st saying to the attorney general here you've done a great job keeping this out of the public eye. obviously, if this were to get out-- prominent citizen, friend of the white house-- it would be calamitous. nothing stops this town like a scandal. we wouldn't get anything done-- no legislation, nothing on the international stage. were innocent, it might take weeks or even months... (mouths word) before we could gear up again. i would think that would be a small price to pay if we find out he wasn't innocent. i'm just giving you the white house's point of view. your investigation is your investigation. the executive branch doesn't have any influence on justice. and yet here we are. there are some concerns, david. yours or the chief of staff's? mine, actually. i'm only asking because yesterday you didn't have concerns. yesterday you thought we might have a pretty good case.

t-- a number that belonged to the assassin. it allegedly had only one number on it. there's no "allegedly" about it. we checked the phone log. it had one number on it. you're not talking to a bunch of reporters right now, susan. no, but at some point in the very near future, i probably will be talking to reporters, david. and those reporters are going to ask me about how long we plan to detain mr. doyle without charging him. how long we plan to detain him? you tell me. what's the standard amount of time you keep a man who might have tried to kill the president? 48 hours. i'm not a lawyer, but... that sounds fair, doesn't it? i think cyrus just wants to know whether or not anything is to be gained by detaining mr. doyle for much longer. again, folks, this is your call. i'm just a sounding board. (projector and camera shutter clicking) these are jesse's financial records. barely even password-protected. is that... a cayman bank account with million-dollar deposit in it. boy got paid. look at the date. a day after the election.

becky has an account with a deposit made using th e sameuting number. we'll have proof that hollis doyle paid becky to assassinate the president. assuming we can find becky's bank account. which we can't. it's a needle in a haystack. she's too much of a pro. unless... (taps keys) unless what? (projector and camera shutter clicking) what's this about? this is about me and my fellow counsel being afforded access to our client. prisoner declined representation. she declined a public defender. she's upgraded... to the dream team. (keys rattling) i didn't know you went to law school. (handcuffs clicking) nice suit. thanks. (clicking) i need your bank account. what bank account? the bank account you keep your money in. so you can find out who paid me? pass. no, so i can hire you a lawyer. this coming from the man who set me up.

no. i killed your family, huck. how could you not? because i cast the first stone. cytron. who told you? i figured it out. here you go. (projector and camera shutter clicking) (people screaming and shouting indistinctly) (woman) 9-1-1. what's your emergency? i just saw that girl from the news-- the one that blew up that building. she's at the star mesa motel-- you ruined a perfect job. let me make it up to you. by hiring me a lawyer?

nothing i can do to stop that. so why? for me. so i can visit you. he can arrange that. but he has to be good. and good costs money. the bank account? (scoffs) i'm supposed to trust you? why? because you gave me your word? because i gave you my name. you're the only person i can be myself with. don't make me say good-bye. (exhales)

(door closes) fitz is serious about the divorce. of course he is. and olivia gave up hollis to the feds. what? he's in custody. (exhales deeply) you're supposed to hate the woman. isn't that the standard trope? the seductress, the slut, the tramp who led your man astray. and i do. i loathe olivia pope. but it's a boring sort of hate. uninteresting, cliche. it's hard to even get my back into it. but... fitz? i found him. i cleaned him up after that monster who raised him damaged his spirit. i am the one who told him he was someone. i am the one who cheered him on and listened to him ramble about his hopes and his dreams. i am the one who focused him. i did all the work! i did all the work, and now she gets to reap the benefits? no. no! i made him. he exists because i say he exists! mellie... (exhales)

fitz is an enigma to me. so if you have anything-- a card to play, one last trick up your sleeve, now's the time, mellie. (indistinct conversations) ma'am. is everything okay? it will be. (closes) it's me. i'm still working on getting him out, but it shouldn't be much longer. just... the minute he's released? make it look like an accident.

hy didn't becky just give you her p.i.n.? offshore account, the p.i.n. regenerates every 48 hours. if becky's bank account shows a deposit from hollis... we've solved the crime of the century. (sighs) huck seems confident. good. we can just stop. he did is the feds' job, not ours. harrison-- my job, our job is to protect you. proving this transaction, having hollis' head in a vise is the opposite of that. i know. this can change everything. do you understand that? i understand that. this guilt-- it was eating me alive. that white hat was starting to feel like it was a lie. hey.

(breathes sharply) everything is gonna be okay. and even if it's not okay, i got you, liv. i'll hold him for as long as it takes to get answers about that phone. (laughing) great. you're making my case for me. nt for abuse of power by an out-of-control partisan loser attorney who's trying desperately to compensate for the embarrassing public loss... here's your coffee, sir. of a major domestic terrorism case. thank you. it's just a side thing. i'm supposed to be scared when it was your client who was in possession of a phone used exclusively to communicate with the president's shooter? my client is a model citizen and a proud supporter of the president. who he put in office illegally. i love it! love it. one minute he puts the guy in office, next he hires someone to shoot him? (exhales deeply) i'd see that movie. but selling that story to your bosses,

ance. keep my client one more minute, and i guarantee you'll be wondering how to make a living creating apps for mobile devices by the end of the week. i've got everything i need. i've g the smoking gun and the phone that ordered it to shoot. (laughs) oh, i'm sorry. i'm just-- "family circus" is a hoot this week. they do so much with so little. don't mind me none. the american people have spoken. polling data on the divorce? it's a fascinating read. hmm. 80% of women support divorce in cases when it's considered best for the children. it surprised me, too. it was at 50% just 20 years ago. people have a double standard when it comes to politicians, unfortunately. so i see. closer to 60%. not great, but not insurmountable. but then rona threw yours and mellie's approval ratings in the mix. putting me at 30% approval? so it's political suicide.

rona added mellie's baby bump to the mix. wow. 10%. 10%. which translates to pitchforks at the gates. a very colorful way of saying you don't see a way out of this. mellie would have to turn into the wicked witch of the west. i mean, publically. this can't happen. louise! tell tom and hal i would like to go out! and bring me my coat! sir, where are you going? aylight. i don't think so, sir. she's upset. i want to see her. louise! where is she? fitz! the numbers don't lie. this cannot happen! it's happening, so get your head around it. i'm sorry, sir. what is it? it's the first lady, sir. they're saying-- they're saying it's an emergency. they're saying you should hurry. (tapping keys) damn. (tapping keys) wait. what? (tapping keys) (beeps)

ob, huck. $500,000 from hollis doyle's account. that was made two years ago. one day after the cytron explosion, so our next big number will be... how much he paid becky to kill the president. (sighs) (taps key) here. (exhales) deposit was made three weeks ago. the day after the assassination attempt. $5 million to kill the president. wow, that seems like a bargain. (harrison) hollis is a cheap bastard. it wasn't hollis. (olivia) what? it wasn't hollis. every account has an encrypted customer i.d. number. your number. it's like a social security number for banks, and this one doesn't belong to hollis. so someone else paid becky to kill the president? it's not hollis. this entire investigation was your idea. you gave me the tip. you came to me! david, i'm sorry. i'm genuinely sorry, but when you release hollis, i need you to wait an hour so that i can-- it's funny. when aan is unable to tell us anything about a crime, especially one he never committed, releasing him is in fact the polite thing to do! we let him go an hour ago.

o. hollis doyle is out. (mellie screaming) what's going on? she's in labor, sir. ma'am, don't push yet, okay? (screaming continues) (breathing rhythmically) all right. all right, there you go. i forgot how much it hurts! (gasping) it hurts! (screaming) it's gonna be fine. (screaming continues) honey, it's gonna be fine. (crying) we're old pros at this, remember? ? (screaming) all right. when she says "push," we go on three, right? (screaming and crying) and you get to scream as loud as you want. why? because it is my right! because it is your right! now, you can do this. (screaming) say it. i can do this! yes, you can. okay. all right, ma'am. ma'am? i want you to push, all right? right now. all right, ready, champ? okay? all right. here we go, champ. all right, one, two... three!

which floor? same as you.
