Do you wanna be a Gladiator?
Yes.
You have to say it.
I wanna be a Gladiator in a suit.

Ms. Pope... Can I just say I'm a huge fan? I so admire your work in the White House. It's an honor to work for your law firm.
We're not a law firm. We're lawyers, but this is not a law firm.
Law firms are for pansies.
Harrison feed you a line about being a gladiator in a suit?
Liv...
He did. And I'm ready. To gladiate. Or...whatever.
I can have a reporter out here in twenty minutes. With cameras. Asking why you are persecuting an innocent, handicapped, Congressional Medal of Honor winner. Perhaps because he's a well-known conservative Republican and you are considering a bid on the Democratic ticket next year? Just to be clear? That was me threatening you.
You have until morning.
36 hours.
24 hours.
Sold. Pleasure to see you again.
So I read you guys don't try cases? You don't go to court?
If we do our job right, we never need to go to court. Look, the reason we're not a law firm? We don't have to play within the rules of the law. We're fixers, crisis managers. We make the problems of our clients go away. Big or small. It's not about solving some crime. It's not about justice. It's about our client.
He's not wooing me. We're friends.
You and I are friends. He's the leader of the Free World.
We may never know who killed Paige. But this isn't about you not going to jail for Paige's murder. This is about you not living a lie. Not hiding. This is about you standing up and being who you are. That's honorable. That's brave. That's heroic. And that's who you are, Sully. You're a hero. You fought a war and you were braver than I can ever imagine being. This is just another war. For every gay person who ever wore a uniform. Be brave now.
You said we were the good guys.
We are.
Really? I mean... Is Olivia? Is she one of the good guys?
No. She's not one of the good guys. She's the best guy. It's not enough to say it. You gotta believe it.
Gladiators. In suits.
I'm the good guy. The law is on my side. I am the law. The law is me. I work for justice. I uphold the Constitution of these United States. I am a knight for the people. I wear the white hat, and you, Olivia Carolyn Pope, you are a pain in my ass. I had a search warrant for that house, but by the time I got to use it, there was nothing there. Because your people took whatever there was to find.
Hello, David. Good to see you. Did you get a haircut? It's nice.

Look, you misunderstood what you saw...
I did not misunderstand. It may be a long while since I had an angry lover on my hands, but I do remember what it looks like.
Maybe this won't come out.
It's a dirty little secret. And dirty little secrets always come out.

You think they'll get past this?
I don't know how they can.

I think that those two people want to be together. I think that love, at the end of the day, is stronger than some mistake somebody made. Something they did that they regret. I think that love allows for forgiveness.

If you were me, how much would it take you to be able to forget? To forget you'd been strangled, had your clothes ripped off, had some guy pin you down while he forced his fist inside your mouth so hard, you could taste your own blood? How much would it take you to be able to forget all that? To be able to even think of having sex with somebody again? To wake up every morning and not want to kill yourself when you realize it wasn't just a dream, it actually happened? How much would it take you to forget all that? Ten million? Twenty? How much would you be worth?
So we lost? I mean what happens when we lose? We're just done?
We're never done. If we lose this round, we prep him for appeal. If we lose that, we prep him for a second appeal, because whatever happens, there's always another move. Whatever happens, we do not give up. It is my name on that door, and I do not give up.
I never took you for the "hell hath no fury" type. It's a little trashy, but... So is having an affair with a married man.
You want to be careful, Cyrus, with how you speak to me. Because I might forget that we are friends.
