Scandal – part 2
.Josie Marcus needs justice
.She demands it, David
And would this justice come in the form of say a photo op of the F.B.I raiding Reston’s campaign headquarters
.I thought we agreed to keep our business dealings – on a professional level
All right. In my professional opinion, you and your fellow Pope-heads would do or say anything to win Iowa, including strong-arming your boyfriend
David, I can’t emphasize this enough what happened today it’s Watergate all over again
.Or a run-of-the-mill burglar who knew nobody was home
.They stole campaign files and left the flat screens
?What run-of-the-mill burglar does that
.Even if I concede you that point which is a big “if” it doesn’t mean it was Reston
.You’re a lawyer
.You know I can’t search his or anyone else’s office without probable cause
?So in the meantime, you do nothing
.No, in the meantime, I let the Capitol Hill police do their job
FYI, the hypnosis isn’t working. You need to start using the snore clips again, or you’re back on the couch
.Just my professional opinion
?Where are we on the honey trap
James is on board for a nice long profile piece of Daniel Douglas Langston an intimate portrait this
.I’d say this is a new low
.Not for me
.At least admit you’re losing your mind
.Hmm
.The plan is simple.Daniel Douglas will make a pass at my husband
My husband will refuse said pass, slap his closeted face, and then when James wants to write about it to expose the hypocritical lie that is their marriage I will tell Sally that she can either fall in line or she can continue to run for office as an independent and read James’ sordid account in the “Times” along with the rest of the world
.There is nothing simple about that plan
I mean, how on earth can you be sure that Daniel Douglas will make a pass at James
.Oh, I can’t
.But you can
Daniel Douglas! What brings you to the west wing when your better half’s out of town
.I got that interview with D.CTimes James thought we should do it in her office
.I think it’s gonna be one of those “What’s-it-like-to-be-married-to-power” kind of things
.You must have that angle down pat
.You got any tips for this old alligator hunter
.Oh, you’ll be fine
.It’s with James
.He’s so respectful and so kind
.He’s practically family
.I remember when he and Cyrus got together which, to be honest, I didn’t understand
.I mean, I love Cyrus
.We all do, but he’s so much older
?Yeah, what’s up with that
Well you didn’t hear it from me, but one of the beat reporters told me once they have an open marriage
.Then suddenly it all made sense
?You don’t say
.I know
?It’s not fair, right? Don’t the gays just have all the fun
?Any luck Idying our murderer
.Not yet
.But we’ve got seven different camera angles of that area to go through
.We’ll find whoever killed that security guard
.Unless, you know, whoever did this covered their tracks like a pro
.Quinn, I need you on this break-in
We need hard proof that Reston was behind it so we can convince David to pull the F.B.I
in, turn this investigation federal
.Turn the footage you’re working on over to huck
.Actually, I’m kind of in a groove here
…So
.Give it
?What the hell
…Are you accusing the Reston campaign of
.I’ll leave the accusations to the investigators
.But I think it’s obvious who had the motive
And whoever broke in left the silver and only took the files that could shine a light on our strategy and infrastructure for the Marcus campaign
?So you are accusing the Reston campaign
.No comment
.On it
?!What
.Liv? We need to talk
.No, we don’t
.In fact, that’s exactly what we need to stop doing
.I’m asking you for an hour
.One hour
.I think you owe me at least that
.I owe you? After what you did, I don’t owe you anything
.So you need to stop calling me
.You really think that’s gonna do it? That won’t stop him from calling
.The President wants to talk to you He’ll find a way to do it
.Hey
.You screwed up
