Brian White: Franklin Russell

Quotes 

• Franklin Russell : Ballard has been eliminated.

  Rowan Pope : Untrue. False. A figment of your imagination, a vision of what you assume happened versus what actually happened. Jake Ballard is very much alive.

  Franklin Russell : Not possible.

  Rowan Pope : If he were dead, if you actually completed the task I entrusted to you, believed you were capable of executing, I would have found myself on the other end of a phone call with my daughter, a call full of venom, vitriol, and, sadly, tears. But most significantly, promises of white-hot vengeance. Instead, silence. Instead, she has gone underground. You failed, and Jake Ballard is very much alive.

  Franklin Russell : If he's alive, he's hanging on by a thread.

  Rowan Pope : Then find him and cut the thread.

  Olivia Pope : [holding a gun to his head]  I couldn't figure it out. How did my dad know about the Russians? Then I realized it was you. You were there. You were sent to kill Jake. You're B-613, and now you're gonna tell me what the hell foxtail is.

  Franklin Russell : You're making a mistake, Alex. Aaah!

  Olivia Pope : It's Olivia! And this is definitely going to hurt.
