1
00:00:02,562 --> 00:00:06,941
- [rain pattering]
- [thunder rumbling]
2
00:00:14,908 --> 00:00:19,202
This is not the most inspiring
choice for vice president, right?
3
00:00:19,203 --> 00:00:22,495
A well-respected operator,
pragmatic, but let's face it,
4
00:00:22,496 --> 00:00:25,417
this is probably just a nod to
Congress, tapping one of their own.
5
00:00:25,418 --> 00:00:29,921
It's really nothing more than a
placeholder until 2016, assuredly.
6
00:00:29,922 --> 00:00:32,381
I'm not surprised he's doing
a private swearing-in.
7
00:00:32,382 --> 00:00:35,345
My bet is the president wants to draw as
little attention to this as possible.
8
00:00:35,346 --> 00:00:38,140
There's just
no real wow factor--
9
00:00:41,935 --> 00:00:43,851
- [thunder rumbles]
- [indistinct chatter]
10
00:00:43,852 --> 00:00:45,812
[Doug] Christina's
working out well?
11
00:00:45,813 --> 00:00:48,397
[Linda] She's getting her sea
legs, but I've been happy so far.
12
00:00:48,398 --> 00:00:50,483
- [Doug] She works hard.
- [Linda] It's a big load off my shoulders
13
00:00:50,484 --> 00:00:52,946
when she can travel with the
president instead of me.
14
00:00:52,947 --> 00:00:55,949
I get so much more done
when I stay here.
15
00:00:57,617 --> 00:00:59,826
President have a preference
in the whip's race?
16
00:00:59,827 --> 00:01:01,661
I can't believe how ugly
it's gotten.
17
00:01:01,662 --> 00:01:03,455
He was more disappointed
than anything else--
18
00:01:03,456 --> 00:01:06,249
- Watch out, Wes.
- I hope I'm not interrupting.
19
00:01:06,250 --> 00:01:08,209
- Not at all.
- This is something else.
20
00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:10,337
Security specs. They had
to work fast. Watch yourself.
21
00:01:10,338 --> 00:01:12,088
It's like a war zone
around here.
22
00:01:12,089 --> 00:01:14,257
The idea is to keep
the war from getting in.
23
00:01:14,258 --> 00:01:16,217
How's the whip's race coming,
Congressman?
24
00:01:16,218 --> 00:01:17,677
It's tight between
you and Howard?
25
00:01:17,678 --> 00:01:19,137
Well, you'd have to ask Howard,
26
00:01:19,138 --> 00:01:21,348
if he's not too busy
trying to sodomize me.
27
00:01:21,349 --> 00:01:24,353
- Should we go say hello?
- For God sakes, don't make me talk to that man.
28
00:01:24,354 --> 00:01:26,561
[hammering]
29
00:01:26,562 --> 00:01:31,108
- Good to see you, Howard.
- Nice to see you, Wes.
30
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:34,112
[mutters] Yeah, I bet it is.
31
00:01:36,948 --> 00:01:40,494
[sawing, hammering]
32
00:01:46,582 --> 00:01:48,417
- Bob.
- Frank.
33
00:01:48,418 --> 00:01:50,084
- Thanks for inviting me, Frank.
- What?
34
00:01:50,085 --> 00:01:51,921
- Thanks for inviting me.
- You bet.
35
00:01:51,922 --> 00:01:57,385
- Hey, Frank.
- Judge! Good to see you.
36
00:01:57,386 --> 00:02:00,220
- Is there somewhere I can go to change?
- Yes, absolutely.
37
00:02:00,221 --> 00:02:02,972
There's room down the hall. Doug,
will you take care of the judge?
38
00:02:02,973 --> 00:02:05,099
And when he's ready, let's
get this thing over with.
39
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:06,726
I'll start bringing 'em in.
40
00:02:06,727 --> 00:02:08,728
"That I take this
obligation freely,
41
00:02:08,729 --> 00:02:12,232
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion..."
42
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:14,025
That I take
this obligation freely,
43
00:02:14,026 --> 00:02:16,360
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion...
44
00:02:16,361 --> 00:02:17,862
[judge] "...and that I will..."
45
00:02:17,863 --> 00:02:19,531
One heartbeat away
from the presidency,
46
00:02:19,532 --> 00:02:21,866
and not a single
vote cast in my name.
47
00:02:21,867 --> 00:02:25,703
- Democracy is so overrated.
- "...on which I am about to enter,
48
00:02:25,704 --> 00:02:28,748
- so help me God."
- ...and that I will well and faithfully
49
00:02:28,749 --> 00:02:34,086
discharge the duties of the office on which
I am about to enter, so help me God.
50
00:02:34,087 --> 00:02:38,134
- [judge] Congratulations, Mr. Vice President.
- [applause]
51
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:51,898
All right, let's get back
to running the country.
52
00:04:15,669 --> 00:04:19,403
Sync and corrections by n17t01
www.addic7ed.com
53
00:04:26,783 --> 00:04:29,118
[Frank] Now, one of you is
gonna replace me as the whip.
54
00:04:29,119 --> 00:04:31,496
You're the two frontrunners
and we know you both want it.
55
00:04:31,497 --> 00:04:33,790
[Birch] You're not behaving like
men who belong in the leadership.
56
00:04:33,791 --> 00:04:36,210
We need to tone
down the rhetoric.
57
00:04:36,211 --> 00:04:38,586
- You're hurting the party.
- I'm just responding
58
00:04:38,587 --> 00:04:40,129
to the lies Howard's
been slinging.
59
00:04:40,130 --> 00:04:42,423
Those junkets happened, Wes.
I'm not making it up.
60
00:04:42,424 --> 00:04:44,799
- And nepotism's any better?
- That's just not true and you know it.
61
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,222
Your sister's husband happened
to be appointed state treasurer?
62
00:04:47,223 --> 00:04:48,804
Ex-husband. And yes.
63
00:04:48,805 --> 00:04:50,557
That is such
a load of crap, Howard.
64
00:04:50,558 --> 00:04:52,517
[Frank] Gentlemen, Bob is right.
65
00:04:52,518 --> 00:04:54,644
This sort of catfighting
gets out in the press,
66
00:04:54,645 --> 00:04:57,438
whichever one of you wins
hits the ground limping.
67
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:02,904
Let's keep it clean and bring some civility
back to the House. Can we agree to that?
68
00:05:05,989 --> 00:05:07,909
I'd feel a lot better
if you shook hands on it.
69
00:05:07,910 --> 00:05:11,371
[hammering, sawing]
70
00:05:14,541 --> 00:05:16,584
Thank you.
71
00:05:23,383 --> 00:05:25,675
I'm with him right now,
Christina.
72
00:05:25,676 --> 00:05:27,843
I'm off. I'll swing
by your office later.
73
00:05:27,844 --> 00:05:30,473
Don't. It's not ready yet.
I'll be working from here.
74
00:05:30,474 --> 00:05:32,765
- What?
- Tusk is in town.
75
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:35,184
He's meeting with the president in 45 minutes.
Christina just told me.
76
00:05:35,185 --> 00:05:37,520
- The Joint Commission talks.
- That's what she said.
77
00:05:37,521 --> 00:05:39,980
- Christina's proving useful.
- We'll stay in touch.
78
00:05:39,981 --> 00:05:42,608
Get me Cathy Durant.
Your people coming by?
79
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:46,112
Just my new chief of staff. That's
all I've got until we hire more.
80
00:05:46,113 --> 00:05:49,701
So how's it feel to be married
to the vice president?
81
00:05:49,702 --> 00:05:53,453
[loud hammering] Exactly
the same... just louder.
82
00:05:53,454 --> 00:05:55,664
Secretary Durant.
83
00:05:55,665 --> 00:05:56,832
Cathy.
84
00:05:59,627 --> 00:06:01,379
Raymond.
85
00:06:03,131 --> 00:06:05,550
Congratulations,
Mr. Vice President.
86
00:06:05,551 --> 00:06:10,011
Thank you very much. May I please
introduce Secretary Durant.
87
00:06:10,012 --> 00:06:13,640
- A pleasure, Madame Secretary.
- Hi.
88
00:06:13,641 --> 00:06:18,479
Well, this is quite a surprise.
I had no idea you were in town.
89
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,897
Ah...
90
00:06:20,898 --> 00:06:22,650
Well...
91
00:06:37,956 --> 00:06:40,125
Morning, sir.
92
00:06:40,126 --> 00:06:42,376
- Mr. President.
- Catherine.
93
00:06:42,377 --> 00:06:45,838
- We just happened to run into Raymond.
- Huh!
94
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,135
Wonderful. Come on in.
95
00:06:51,596 --> 00:06:53,887
The phone records will
absolutely prove I'm right.
96
00:06:53,888 --> 00:06:55,556
There were no phone records.
You know that.
97
00:06:55,557 --> 00:06:57,433
The data history,
with the carrier.
98
00:06:57,434 --> 00:06:59,560
Even if we got the case reopened,
which isn't gonna happen,
99
00:06:59,561 --> 00:07:02,772
you have any idea how hard it is
to get a warrant for phone data?
100
00:07:02,773 --> 00:07:05,441
Probable cause.
Bring him in for questioning.
101
00:07:05,442 --> 00:07:08,235
- Technically, you have jurisdiction.
- The vice president?
102
00:07:08,236 --> 00:07:11,322
I know this all sounds preposterous to
you, but if you go through my notes--
103
00:07:11,323 --> 00:07:14,702
- We've been through your notes.
- You've listened, but you haven't heard me.
104
00:07:14,703 --> 00:07:17,538
Circumstantial,
yes, but plausible.
105
00:07:17,539 --> 00:07:20,833
I know you've
reopened cases on less.
106
00:07:20,834 --> 00:07:24,337
This has gotta stop, man. We keep
having the same conversation.
107
00:07:24,338 --> 00:07:26,506
It can't be an accident.
108
00:07:29,509 --> 00:07:35,096
OK, I'm gonna
show you something.
109
00:07:35,097 --> 00:07:40,142
CNN tried to get ahold of this, we
86'd it out of respect to the family.
110
00:07:40,143 --> 00:07:42,063
The footage?
111
00:07:45,817 --> 00:07:49,319
- It's not easy to watch.
- I want to see it.
112
00:07:54,075 --> 00:07:57,953
She tripped, or jumped.
113
00:08:00,248 --> 00:08:02,332
She didn't jump.
114
00:08:06,628 --> 00:08:08,756
Here it is, frame by frame.
115
00:08:23,855 --> 00:08:28,232
Now, there were two witnesses. One was a
70-year-old woman with macular degeneration.
116
00:08:28,233 --> 00:08:30,943
All she saw was a blur. The second
was the conductor of the train.
117
00:08:30,944 --> 00:08:33,989
He said it looked like she fell.
Between those two and this video,
118
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:36,825
that's all there is.
119
00:08:36,826 --> 00:08:43,290
You can watch it a million
times, but this case is closed.
120
00:08:43,291 --> 00:08:46,628
We should limit the agenda
to a couple of key issues:
121
00:08:46,629 --> 00:08:50,004
import tariffs on industrial
manufactured goods,
122
00:08:50,005 --> 00:08:53,216
and export quotas
on rare earth elements.
123
00:08:53,217 --> 00:08:55,802
They're using both
as political levers.
124
00:08:55,803 --> 00:08:58,763
I agree these are two areas where
we can make meaningful progress.
125
00:08:58,764 --> 00:09:01,683
But I'm worried about the rise
in corporate cyberattacks.
126
00:09:01,684 --> 00:09:06,395
- That's a rabbit hole.
- We have to address it sooner or later.
127
00:09:06,396 --> 00:09:08,856
It's just a matter of whether
we want to address it now.
128
00:09:08,857 --> 00:09:13,985
Chinese don't like surprises. All I'm proposing
is that we use the Joint Commission talks
129
00:09:13,986 --> 00:09:16,948
to bring it up gently now, set
the stage for the next round.
130
00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:18,825
[Tusk] Look, I'm a businessman,
not a diplomat.
131
00:09:18,826 --> 00:09:23,162
But I'm a businessman with 35
years' experience working in China.
132
00:09:23,163 --> 00:09:25,498
When they come to the table,
you don't get greedy.
133
00:09:25,499 --> 00:09:28,375
You're working on a co-venture
refinery project in Fujian.
134
00:09:28,376 --> 00:09:30,420
Which would be
the first of its kind.
135
00:09:30,421 --> 00:09:33,465
Open the gateway
for increased investment--
136
00:09:33,466 --> 00:09:36,132
Cyberattacks
threaten those co-ventures.
137
00:09:36,133 --> 00:09:39,719
There's less a need for them if the
Chinese can obtain new technology
138
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,305
- from corporate espionage.
- Frank, what do you think?
139
00:09:42,306 --> 00:09:44,224
I lean more toward
Raymond's thinking.
140
00:09:44,225 --> 00:09:47,310
If we antagonize the Chinese,
we could undo years of progress.
141
00:09:47,311 --> 00:09:52,065
[Durant] Allow me to do this quietly, with a soft touch.
I won't antagonize them, sir.
142
00:09:52,066 --> 00:09:54,442
The last thing we want to do
is rock the boat.
143
00:09:54,443 --> 00:09:55,989
[Walker] What do you have
in mind, Catherine?
144
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:59,240
A suggested agenda,
not a demand.
145
00:09:59,241 --> 00:10:03,244
We'll keep it mid-level.
I won't get anywhere near it.
146
00:10:03,245 --> 00:10:06,666
- Raymond?
- I've voiced my concerns.
147
00:10:10,586 --> 00:10:13,715
- A very soft touch.
- You have my word, sir.
148
00:10:13,716 --> 00:10:15,383
[Walker] Good.
149
00:10:17,092 --> 00:10:20,596
[Walker] Raymond, you want
to grab some lunch?
150
00:10:21,763 --> 00:10:24,182
- Would love to.
- Thanks, Frank.
151
00:10:24,183 --> 00:10:27,729
- Welcome to the West Wing.
- Thank you, sir.
152
00:10:33,693 --> 00:10:37,277
The president is like a lone
tree in an empty field.
153
00:10:37,278 --> 00:10:39,574
He leans whichever way
the wind is blowing.
154
00:10:39,575 --> 00:10:44,202
And right now, Raymond Tusk blows
far too strong from the West.
155
00:10:44,203 --> 00:10:46,538
- Is that a wig?
- No.
156
00:10:46,539 --> 00:10:49,834
- He's been growing it out for months.
- Here, this way.
157
00:10:49,835 --> 00:10:52,501
Diane says she likes it long.
158
00:10:52,502 --> 00:10:58,090
I told her she'll feel differently once
she sees the first dreadlock or...
159
00:10:58,091 --> 00:11:00,135
- ...smells it.
- Oh!
160
00:11:02,513 --> 00:11:04,681
I went to see your
daughter last weekend.
161
00:11:07,268 --> 00:11:09,520
- How is she?
- You want to see a picture?
162
00:11:09,521 --> 00:11:11,688
OK.
163
00:11:13,608 --> 00:11:16,193
- Was her mother there?
- Yeah.
164
00:11:17,109 --> 00:11:18,653
Are they OK on money?
165
00:11:18,654 --> 00:11:20,989
The rate at Greenwoods
is going up in January.
166
00:11:20,990 --> 00:11:24,283
Catalina's worried
she's gonna be short.
167
00:11:24,284 --> 00:11:26,660
I'll make sure to put
more into the account.
168
00:11:26,661 --> 00:11:28,537
We don't have to talk
about her if you don't want.
169
00:11:28,538 --> 00:11:32,165
No, no, no, it's fine. I
appreciate you going to see her.
170
00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:34,879
I'm sorry, Ted, I thought that
when you asked me to lunch,
171
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,465
- it was because you--
- No, no, no. I mean... yes.
172
00:11:38,466 --> 00:11:43,261
I want to make sure they
have what they need. But no.
173
00:11:43,262 --> 00:11:47,349
The reason I wanted to talk...
174
00:11:48,851 --> 00:11:52,143
- Lorrie Tate.
- Lorrie's a friend of mine.
175
00:11:52,144 --> 00:11:54,313
What about her?
176
00:11:54,314 --> 00:11:57,568
She mentioned you were
interested in the whip's race.
177
00:11:57,569 --> 00:12:01,445
Oh, no. [chuckles]
Oh, I wish she hadn't.
178
00:12:01,446 --> 00:12:05,575
- Why not?
- Because it's ridiculous.
179
00:12:05,576 --> 00:12:07,078
Is it?
180
00:12:10,123 --> 00:12:12,248
I just mentioned it offhand.
181
00:12:12,249 --> 00:12:15,001
The whole Webb and Buchwalter
thing, it's just--
182
00:12:15,002 --> 00:12:17,711
- Complete mess.
- But I wasn't serious.
183
00:12:17,712 --> 00:12:21,298
I think you should be serious.
Do you want to do it?
184
00:12:21,299 --> 00:12:23,635
I don't have the experience,
Ted. And I don't--
185
00:12:23,636 --> 00:12:26,513
- Yes or no?
- Yes, of course.
186
00:12:26,514 --> 00:12:30,433
Someday. But now? I don't
have the money they do.
187
00:12:30,434 --> 00:12:34,060
- Unless you use mine.
- You can't waste your money on--
188
00:12:34,061 --> 00:12:38,064
If I funnel my PAC money to some
folks who are on the fence,
189
00:12:38,065 --> 00:12:41,236
round up a couple dozen
commitments before you announce,
190
00:12:41,237 --> 00:12:46,490
that would make you an instant contender.
Now, tell me that's a waste.
191
00:12:46,491 --> 00:12:48,617
We're talking
hundreds of thousands.
192
00:12:48,618 --> 00:12:51,120
It's not a Christmas present,
Jackie.
193
00:12:51,121 --> 00:12:54,042
With you as whip, I have
a strong ally in the leadership.
194
00:12:54,043 --> 00:12:59,670
I stand to gain as much as you.
Now, hang on one second.
195
00:12:59,671 --> 00:13:02,341
I don't know where the...
196
00:13:04,426 --> 00:13:06,135
[Lorrie] How did it go?
Did he buy it?
197
00:13:06,136 --> 00:13:09,387
Whatever bug you put in his ear,
it burrowed deep.
198
00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:12,141
It was easy. The man adores you
like you're his own child.
199
00:13:12,142 --> 00:13:14,937
But you sure as hell better
make me chief deputy.
200
00:13:14,938 --> 00:13:19,398
- I need to win first.
- Ted and I make two, 111 to go.
201
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:22,153
It's always good when the chief
deputy knows her arithmetic.
202
00:13:22,154 --> 00:13:24,946
Fuck off.
Let's start taking names.
203
00:13:24,947 --> 00:13:29,159
- This one seems promising.
- Connor Ellis. He's solid.
204
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,827
- Good experience.
- He's the one that got Senator Jones out of that mess
205
00:13:32,828 --> 00:13:36,331
- with the push-polling.
- Yes. Kept him from the Ethics Committee.
206
00:13:36,332 --> 00:13:40,046
- Let's set up an interview.
- I'll find a good time in the schedule.
207
00:13:40,047 --> 00:13:44,131
Let's talk about the schedule.
I think we need to be...
208
00:13:44,132 --> 00:13:46,968
...more selective
with the events I do.
209
00:13:46,969 --> 00:13:51,431
Some of these are leftovers from Mrs. Matthews.
We can cancel whatever you like.
210
00:13:51,432 --> 00:13:53,516
And what's this?
211
00:13:53,517 --> 00:13:56,769
Your husband will be pinning stars on
two newly commissioned Marine generals.
212
00:13:56,770 --> 00:14:00,108
- I think that's one you should do.
- OK, walk me through it.
213
00:14:00,109 --> 00:14:03,985
The generals are Alicia
Hampton and Dalton McGinnis.
214
00:14:03,986 --> 00:14:07,197
- Arriving at 6:50--
- Dalton McGinnis?
215
00:14:07,198 --> 00:14:09,616
Yes. Do you know him?
216
00:14:13,579 --> 00:14:17,039
We went to college together.
217
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,084
I'm sorry. Where were we?
Um, arrive what time?
218
00:14:20,085 --> 00:14:22,043
- Six-fifty.
- Great. I'd like a list
219
00:14:22,044 --> 00:14:24,004
of all the people
that will be attending.
220
00:14:24,005 --> 00:14:26,799
It's not that big a deal
if I get left out,
221
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,926
but you're
the secretary of state.
222
00:14:28,927 --> 00:14:31,343
I mean, Tusk should not
be determining policy.
223
00:14:31,344 --> 00:14:34,807
The president alone should instruct
you on what you are to pursue.
224
00:14:34,808 --> 00:14:38,018
- What's their relationship?
- He's has had his ear for years.
225
00:14:38,019 --> 00:14:40,437
- An advisor...
- More of a mentor.
226
00:14:40,438 --> 00:14:42,606
And one whose advice
is not easily dismissed.
227
00:14:42,607 --> 00:14:44,691
He's gonna keep pushing back
on cyberwarfare.
228
00:14:44,692 --> 00:14:48,862
- Not if I get it on the agenda.
- Especially if you get it on the agenda.
229
00:14:48,863 --> 00:14:50,739
Tusk is not gonna
take any chances
230
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:53,408
when the next Joint Commission
talks come around.
231
00:14:53,409 --> 00:14:55,119
You agreed with him
in the meeting.
232
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,997
If we had ganged up, he would've
taken a firmer position.
233
00:14:57,998 --> 00:15:02,044
For all we know, he's convincing the
president right now to change his mind.
234
00:15:02,045 --> 00:15:05,839
Now, we need to remove
that option as a possibility.
235
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,219
- How?
- Force the Chinese to confront the issue now,
236
00:15:11,220 --> 00:15:14,638
- this round of talks.
- I promised the president a soft touch.
237
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:18,936
- I can't intentionally break my promise.
- What if it was unintentional?
238
00:15:21,314 --> 00:15:26,944
Cathy, if you don't like how the
table is set, turn over the table.
239
00:15:31,114 --> 00:15:34,283
- You're cheating.
- No, I'm not. It's vapor.
240
00:15:34,284 --> 00:15:37,162
- Still.
- You should try it.
241
00:15:37,163 --> 00:15:42,583
- Addiction without the consequences.
- It's all yours.
242
00:15:42,584 --> 00:15:44,628
You staying up?
243
00:15:45,837 --> 00:15:48,130
This ceremony tomorrow night.
244
00:15:48,131 --> 00:15:51,050
- You don't want to go.
- If I don't have to.
245
00:15:51,051 --> 00:15:52,968
I hate these
sort of things, too,
246
00:15:52,969 --> 00:15:56,723
but it is my first public
appearance as vice president.
247
00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:01,395
- OK.
- Thank you.
248
00:16:05,691 --> 00:16:08,818
Should we turn this
into a proper office?
249
00:16:08,819 --> 00:16:13,698
That's not a bad idea.
No privacy downstairs.
250
00:16:13,699 --> 00:16:16,158
I'll talk to the contractor.
251
00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:19,453
- Good night, Francis.
- Good night.
252
00:16:35,179 --> 00:16:38,056
[indistinct chatter]
253
00:16:40,684 --> 00:16:44,395
Sir, sir! Congressional Record. Weren't
the talks supposed to go until six?
254
00:16:44,396 --> 00:16:47,231
- We can't talk if they won't listen.
- Did the Chinese walk out?
255
00:16:47,232 --> 00:16:49,357
We made it clear that we won't
discuss any other issues
256
00:16:49,358 --> 00:16:52,152
until government-sponsored
cyberattacks are on the table.
257
00:16:52,153 --> 00:16:54,238
That's not what
they wanted to hear.
258
00:16:54,239 --> 00:16:56,531
Sir, what did you tell the Chinese
delegation before they walked out?
259
00:16:56,532 --> 00:16:59,868
We didn't have anybody there. The Joint
Commission's usually a snooze fest.
260
00:16:59,869 --> 00:17:02,290
- Not today, it wasn't.
- I've got Greer on it.
261
00:17:02,291 --> 00:17:04,249
Isn't this international?
262
00:17:04,250 --> 00:17:06,208
We need somebody from the tech
beat if we want any background
263
00:17:06,209 --> 00:17:09,211
- on cyberwarfare.
- Does he have anybody on record yet?
264
00:17:09,212 --> 00:17:11,630
The Chinese aren't talking.
And all the US delegation said
265
00:17:11,631 --> 00:17:14,551
- is what's in the AP wire.
- I want something online in two hours.
266
00:17:14,552 --> 00:17:17,387
In-depth follow-up
sometime this week.
267
00:17:18,889 --> 00:17:24,227
Hey, Lucas... you all right?
268
00:17:24,228 --> 00:17:26,187
Yeah, why?
269
00:17:26,188 --> 00:17:29,523
You're wearing the same
clothes you wore yesterday.
270
00:17:29,524 --> 00:17:31,734
Am I?
271
00:17:31,735 --> 00:17:34,611
I don't know what's going on
in your personal life,
272
00:17:34,612 --> 00:17:38,406
but it seems to be entering the
workplace. Appearances matter.
273
00:17:38,407 --> 00:17:42,287
We can't have an editor looking
more disheveled than his reporters.
274
00:17:42,288 --> 00:17:45,039
Two hours.
You'll have something.
275
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,123
[Buchwalter] Did you know Jackie
Sharp's running for whip?
276
00:17:47,124 --> 00:17:50,377
- No, it's the first I'm hearing of it.
- I spoke to Webb.
277
00:17:50,378 --> 00:17:54,589
He got an e-mail from Lorrie Tate about me.
I got one from Dave Holland about him.
278
00:17:54,590 --> 00:17:57,801
- Which means nothing to me.
- The junkets, the nepotism.
279
00:17:57,802 --> 00:18:01,429
Tate and Sharp are close. Holland
serves on the VA Committee with her.
280
00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:03,056
She used proxies
to insulate herself.
281
00:18:03,057 --> 00:18:05,225
You think she gave
the dirt to them.
282
00:18:05,226 --> 00:18:07,686
- She's been playing both of us.
- How many commitments you think
283
00:18:07,687 --> 00:18:09,980
- she could have?
- Around 20 so far.
284
00:18:09,981 --> 00:18:12,440
- So she's a distant third.
- But she's picking people off us
285
00:18:12,441 --> 00:18:15,568
- left and right. I want your help.
- You have my support, Wes.
286
00:18:15,569 --> 00:18:19,781
- Then make that public.
- If I come out for you, Birch comes out for Webb.
287
00:18:19,782 --> 00:18:22,325
- That's gonna hurt you, not help you.
- This is serious, Frank.
288
00:18:22,326 --> 00:18:24,619
Ted Havemeyer
is bankrolling her.
289
00:18:24,620 --> 00:18:26,538
- Have you thought of talking to Jackie?
- No, no.
290
00:18:26,539 --> 00:18:29,457
- I can't do that on principle.
- Why not?
291
00:18:29,458 --> 00:18:32,585
Anyone who Havemeyer is backing,
I don't work with.
292
00:18:32,586 --> 00:18:34,671
He pulled this same crap on me
when I ran for Senate.
293
00:18:34,672 --> 00:18:37,257
He financed my primary opponent.
Asshole.
294
00:18:37,258 --> 00:18:39,885
Well, that is your call. But if
you're gonna let an old grudge
295
00:18:39,886 --> 00:18:42,221
- get in the way of progress--
- I just can't do it, Frank.
296
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:44,848
Havemeyer's been trying to shove
me down the totem pole for years.
297
00:18:44,849 --> 00:18:46,767
I won't give him
the satisfaction.
298
00:18:46,768 --> 00:18:50,271
Well, I can respect that,
but my hands are tied.
299
00:18:50,272 --> 00:18:53,940
It's a delicate matter, but we are in
communication with the Chinese government
300
00:18:53,941 --> 00:18:56,235
- as to how to move forward.
- This mean the US will back down
301
00:18:56,236 --> 00:18:58,570
- on cyberattacks?
- The United States never backs down,
302
00:18:58,571 --> 00:19:01,657
particularly on issues
that are high priority to us.
303
00:19:01,658 --> 00:19:06,079
Madame Secretary, what did you
tell the head of the delegation?
304
00:19:09,417 --> 00:19:11,458
[Frank] The delegation
overstepped its bounds.
305
00:19:11,459 --> 00:19:13,835
But Cathy couldn't throw her
own people under the bus.
306
00:19:13,836 --> 00:19:16,463
[Linda] She should've consulted us
first before speaking publicly.
307
00:19:16,464 --> 00:19:19,299
The press was on her doorstep and the
president was in another hemisphere.
308
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:22,803
Look, I'm not condoning what she
did, but she had to do something.
309
00:19:22,804 --> 00:19:25,348
She made a gut call
and she acted.
310
00:19:25,349 --> 00:19:26,973
We have to distance
ourselves from this.
311
00:19:26,974 --> 00:19:29,100
- When is the president back?
- Tomorrow morning.
312
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:30,436
Can we set up a meeting?
313
00:19:30,437 --> 00:19:32,229
Cathy needs
to publicly apologize.
314
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:33,897
We get her in the room
with the president?
315
00:19:33,898 --> 00:19:36,024
Shouldn't we all be
on the same page first?
316
00:19:36,025 --> 00:19:37,984
- I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you.
317
00:19:37,985 --> 00:19:40,446
Now, you asked me a question
before I went and got my food
318
00:19:40,447 --> 00:19:43,365
- and I've forgotten what...
- Mr. Vice President. General McGinnis.
319
00:19:43,366 --> 00:19:46,700
Ah. It's a great honor. I hope you don't
mind, the president wishes he could be here.
320
00:19:46,701 --> 00:19:48,827
- He's asked me to fill in.
- The honor is mine, sir.
321
00:19:48,828 --> 00:19:52,918
- And, General, this is my wife Claire.
- It's good to see you, Claire.
322
00:19:52,919 --> 00:19:55,169
- It's been a long time.
- Yes.
323
00:19:55,170 --> 00:19:58,048
- Harvard. We were classmates.
- Claire didn't say a thing.
324
00:19:58,049 --> 00:20:02,717
We dated for a time.
Well, about five minutes.
325
00:20:02,718 --> 00:20:04,720
Anyway, I'll let you
get back to your meal.
326
00:20:04,721 --> 00:20:07,139
Thank you. I've remembered.
327
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:11,479
Interestingly enough, in South Carolina,
the largest crop is not cotton.
328
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,232
No. It's tobacco. And the third
largest crop is marijuana.
329
00:20:16,233 --> 00:20:18,109
- Now...
- [laughter]
330
00:20:18,110 --> 00:20:20,360
We'll just keep
that to ourselves.
331
00:20:20,361 --> 00:20:22,531
Would you all excuse me
for just a moment?
332
00:20:23,615 --> 00:20:25,240
- [Frank] Is she alone?
- Yes.
333
00:20:25,241 --> 00:20:27,661
[Frank] Will you give us
a few moments, please.
334
00:20:32,624 --> 00:20:34,585
What's wrong?
335
00:20:36,420 --> 00:20:40,257
- It was him.
- Who?
336
00:20:42,217 --> 00:20:44,386
Freshman year.
337
00:20:46,930 --> 00:20:48,849
You mean...?
338
00:20:50,225 --> 00:20:53,059
McGinnis?
339
00:20:53,060 --> 00:20:54,728
Francis. Francis!
340
00:20:54,729 --> 00:20:57,690
Please, don't do anything,
please!
341
00:20:57,691 --> 00:20:59,566
I am not gonna pin
a medal on that man.
342
00:20:59,567 --> 00:21:01,318
- You have to!
- Just a minute, please!
343
00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:03,486
- There is no way...
- [man] They want to start.
344
00:21:03,487 --> 00:21:05,531
Just a minute, please!
He does not deserve a medal.
345
00:21:05,532 --> 00:21:08,368
- That man needs to be taken out and shot!
- I am begging you. Please!
346
00:21:08,369 --> 00:21:12,371
- No! I said just a minute!
- Do not make a scene!
347
00:21:12,372 --> 00:21:14,416
Please!
348
00:21:45,239 --> 00:21:48,114
Tom.
349
00:21:48,115 --> 00:21:50,244
Thanks for coming by.
350
00:21:53,664 --> 00:21:58,627
You know, I thought I would miss this
place the moment I stepped inside...
351
00:21:59,753 --> 00:22:01,880
...but I don't.
352
00:22:04,716 --> 00:22:06,718
Hope you like Stella.
353
00:22:13,183 --> 00:22:15,686
- Cheers.
- Here's how.
354
00:22:21,358 --> 00:22:23,024
[both sigh]
355
00:22:23,025 --> 00:22:27,364
- How are things?
- Ah! They're good.
356
00:22:28,823 --> 00:22:30,742
They're good.
357
00:22:32,785 --> 00:22:36,290
- You're happy?
- I haven't been happy a day in my life.
358
00:22:36,291 --> 00:22:41,167
But I have time now.
To think. To write.
359
00:22:41,168 --> 00:22:44,255
- Been working on a novel.
- Yeah?
360
00:22:44,256 --> 00:22:48,467
Mm. It's absolute shit,
but that's OK.
361
00:22:48,468 --> 00:22:51,554
That's great, Tom.
That's really great.
362
00:22:51,555 --> 00:22:56,058
What's on your mind? I know you
didn't ask me here just to catch up.
363
00:23:11,575 --> 00:23:13,534
Frank Underwood.
364
00:23:13,535 --> 00:23:16,076
[Frank] On the president's
behalf, it is my great honor
365
00:23:16,077 --> 00:23:18,290
to formally recognize
the selection
366
00:23:18,291 --> 00:23:21,500
of General Alicia Hampton
as commander,
367
00:23:21,501 --> 00:23:23,628
United States European Command,
368
00:23:23,629 --> 00:23:26,254
and General Dalton McGinnis
as commander
369
00:23:26,255 --> 00:23:28,798
of the United States
Strategic Command.
370
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:31,178
The United States Marine Corps
has been well served
371
00:23:31,179 --> 00:23:36,140
by these two...
exemplary leaders.
372
00:23:36,141 --> 00:23:39,728
The president and I are grateful
for their continued service.
373
00:23:49,363 --> 00:23:52,574
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.
374
00:24:11,635 --> 00:24:15,347
[applause]
375
00:24:32,072 --> 00:24:34,824
You think I'm insane?
376
00:24:34,825 --> 00:24:38,119
I don't think you're insane.
377
00:24:40,831 --> 00:24:44,626
I think you've been through a lot.
You're trying to make sense of it all.
378
00:24:44,627 --> 00:24:48,629
- I know I'm right.
- I'm sure you believe you are.
379
00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:51,048
It's a fact that he helped
cover up the DUI.
380
00:24:51,049 --> 00:24:56,303
Imagine if one of your reporters
came to you with this story.
381
00:24:56,304 --> 00:24:58,929
- Could you print a word of it?
- No, but I'd have them keep digging.
382
00:24:58,930 --> 00:25:01,140
Would you? If you're
honest with yourself,
383
00:25:01,141 --> 00:25:03,393
wouldn't you tell them it
seemed far-fetched?
384
00:25:03,394 --> 00:25:06,646
Your notes aren't convincing. The
police reports don't prove a link.
385
00:25:06,647 --> 00:25:09,651
- And the speculative leaps you're making?
- I know.
386
00:25:09,652 --> 00:25:14,114
Hold yourself to the same
standards you hold your staff.
387
00:25:18,243 --> 00:25:19,870
You and Zoe
were seeing each other.
388
00:25:21,329 --> 00:25:23,916
I'm assuming. Maybe I'm wrong.
389
00:25:28,128 --> 00:25:30,212
No, we were.
390
00:25:40,056 --> 00:25:43,476
When I lost my first wife,
it didn't add up.
391
00:25:43,477 --> 00:25:46,938
Who dies of breast cancer at 31?
392
00:25:46,939 --> 00:25:51,983
I wanted to sue, doctors,
the hospital, everyone.
393
00:25:51,984 --> 00:25:54,738
I thought they were
hiding something.
394
00:25:56,197 --> 00:25:58,073
No.
395
00:25:58,074 --> 00:26:02,955
Grief demands an answer,
but sometimes there isn't one.
396
00:26:04,498 --> 00:26:09,795
Her life couldn't be saved.
Period.
397
00:26:10,963 --> 00:26:12,798
What do I do?
398
00:26:14,257 --> 00:26:16,591
Would you consider
seeing someone?
399
00:26:16,592 --> 00:26:19,093
There's a therapist who helped
me when Cynthia passed away.
400
00:26:19,094 --> 00:26:21,430
- I can put you in touch with--
- No, I don't need to see somebody.
401
00:26:21,431 --> 00:26:25,726
- Lucas.
- I appreciate you coming by, Tom.
402
00:26:26,895 --> 00:26:29,063
Thanks for the beer.
403
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,109
You can call me anytime.
404
00:26:41,493 --> 00:26:44,120
You take care of yourself,
Lucas.
405
00:26:46,665 --> 00:26:48,583
I mean it.
406
00:27:00,094 --> 00:27:02,554
[man] Any plans
to go elsewhere, sir?
407
00:27:02,555 --> 00:27:04,473
[Frank] No, we're in
for the night. Thank you.
408
00:27:04,474 --> 00:27:06,226
[man] Yes, sir.
409
00:27:11,982 --> 00:27:13,774
Hey.
410
00:27:16,737 --> 00:27:18,822
I'm tired.
411
00:28:08,038 --> 00:28:10,456
Do you need something, sir?
412
00:28:10,457 --> 00:28:14,334
My remote, I wanna play.
413
00:28:14,335 --> 00:28:16,588
It's right over here.
414
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:21,008
Thank you.
415
00:28:25,136 --> 00:28:27,847
[video game music plays]
416
00:28:27,848 --> 00:28:30,139
Something wrong with the
Internet? I can't get online.
417
00:28:30,140 --> 00:28:33,814
We had to disable the access.
It's not a secure connection.
418
00:28:53,125 --> 00:28:55,207
Would you just
give me a moment, please?
419
00:28:55,208 --> 00:28:59,046
Whenever you're out here,
somebody needs to be with you.
420
00:28:59,047 --> 00:29:02,424
I can't be alone
in my own backyard?
421
00:29:02,425 --> 00:29:06,095
If it were up to me, sir,
but it's not up to me.
422
00:29:06,096 --> 00:29:08,389
[chuckles wryly]
423
00:29:11,935 --> 00:29:14,353
OK, Meechum.
424
00:29:56,771 --> 00:29:59,024
You think I don't
want to smash things?
425
00:30:00,816 --> 00:30:04,988
I know what that anger is
more than you can imagine.
426
00:30:08,115 --> 00:30:11,118
- When he was on top of me...
- [Frank] We don't have to talk about it.
427
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:13,412
No, I want to.
428
00:30:16,707 --> 00:30:20,294
When he was on top of me,
I pressed my hand...
429
00:30:23,173 --> 00:30:28,677
...with everything I could,
I pressed it into his face.
430
00:30:28,678 --> 00:30:32,265
I pressed it so hard,
I broke his nose.
431
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:35,643
That didn't stop him.
432
00:30:37,853 --> 00:30:42,358
He shoved the sheets in my
mouth. I could barely breathe.
433
00:30:48,573 --> 00:30:53,827
Every time I think of her,
pinned down like that,
434
00:30:53,828 --> 00:30:59,875
I strangle her, Francis...
so she doesn't strangle me.
435
00:31:01,711 --> 00:31:04,337
I have to.
436
00:31:04,338 --> 00:31:06,382
We have to.
437
00:31:09,094 --> 00:31:11,638
The alternative is...
438
00:31:12,973 --> 00:31:15,267
...it's unlivable.
439
00:31:20,105 --> 00:31:22,607
You should go to sleep.
440
00:31:26,193 --> 00:31:29,487
[Frank] I'm not sure if I can.
441
00:31:29,488 --> 00:31:32,575
Then you should
go back downstairs.
442
00:31:48,758 --> 00:31:51,928
You'll still feel
the hate in the morning.
443
00:31:53,013 --> 00:31:55,222
You'll use that.
444
00:31:55,223 --> 00:31:57,808
But not on him.
445
00:32:08,444 --> 00:32:11,613
[Walker] What did you
communicate, exactly?
446
00:32:11,614 --> 00:32:15,449
I told him to bring up the agenda,
suggest bullet points for the SED,
447
00:32:15,450 --> 00:32:19,620
- but make no demands.
- And how did that translate into a direct ultimatum?
448
00:32:19,621 --> 00:32:23,208
Well, sometimes my delegates
try to read between the lines.
449
00:32:23,209 --> 00:32:26,669
They know that I need plausible
deniability for diplomatic purposes.
450
00:32:26,670 --> 00:32:28,046
Why didn't you
immediately recant?
451
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:29,797
In my experience with
the Chinese,
452
00:32:29,798 --> 00:32:32,510
backpedaling makes us
look weak. I had two choices:
453
00:32:32,511 --> 00:32:37,097
lose face or exhibit strength.
I chose the latter.
454
00:32:37,098 --> 00:32:40,810
- All right, I'll be in touch shortly.
- Thank you, sir.
455
00:32:48,985 --> 00:32:51,696
Get me Raymond
on the private line.
456
00:32:55,367 --> 00:32:58,245
- Think she overstepped on purpose?
- Cathy would never disobey.
457
00:32:58,246 --> 00:33:01,663
- Not on purpose.
- Raymond, I've got Frank here.
458
00:33:01,664 --> 00:33:05,124
- [Tusk] Just the three of us?
- Just us three. Morning, Raymond.
459
00:33:05,125 --> 00:33:10,004
My contacts in Beijing tell me the
minister of commerce is in a tizzy.
460
00:33:10,005 --> 00:33:13,383
Wants to use this as an excuse
to start clenching fists.
461
00:33:13,384 --> 00:33:15,801
Either I turn my back on Cathy
or I stand behind her.
462
00:33:15,802 --> 00:33:18,971
- It's got to be the former.
- I agree. If you don't apologize,
463
00:33:18,972 --> 00:33:21,807
you go from ruffling feathers
to plucking them.
464
00:33:21,808 --> 00:33:24,143
And the Chinese won't
stand for that, Mr. President.
465
00:33:24,144 --> 00:33:26,520
What about perceived miscommunication
between me and my Cabinet?
466
00:33:26,521 --> 00:33:29,648
[Frank] Mr. President, right now
the goal is to resume the talks.
467
00:33:29,649 --> 00:33:31,692
I wouldn't worry
about perceptions.
468
00:33:31,693 --> 00:33:33,362
[Tusk] Frank is right.
We need to be pragmatic.
469
00:33:33,363 --> 00:33:35,448
Worry about appearances later.
470
00:33:38,952 --> 00:33:41,327
All right, I'll have Catherine
draft an apology.
471
00:33:41,328 --> 00:33:43,955
No, it has to come
from you, Mr. President.
472
00:33:43,956 --> 00:33:46,916
If the apology is to mean anything,
it must come from the White House.
473
00:33:46,917 --> 00:33:49,587
That is certainly
the more likely to succeed.
474
00:33:52,882 --> 00:33:54,383
Fine. I'll do it, then.
475
00:33:54,384 --> 00:33:57,429
- Thank you, Raymond.
- Thank you, Garrett.
476
00:33:59,180 --> 00:34:02,725
Do you hear how he still
uses the President's given name?
477
00:34:02,726 --> 00:34:07,314
And that Walker doesn't flinch at
the lack of respect it implies?
478
00:34:10,024 --> 00:34:14,444
Sir, forgive me if this isn't the
case, but you seem a bit hesitant.
479
00:34:14,445 --> 00:34:17,363
- Why do you say that?
- Well, you've raised a good point
480
00:34:17,364 --> 00:34:19,740
about public perception.
I don't want you to think
481
00:34:19,741 --> 00:34:23,871
- that I'm dismissing your concerns casually.
- It's a concern for you, too?
482
00:34:23,872 --> 00:34:29,461
- There is some insight into what Cathy brought up.
- Backpedaling as weakness.
483
00:34:31,754 --> 00:34:34,382
Well, it's always a coin toss
with the Chinese.
484
00:34:34,383 --> 00:34:39,261
But sometimes, standing your
ground is better than giving in.
485
00:34:39,262 --> 00:34:42,554
They respect you more
when you show strength.
486
00:34:42,555 --> 00:34:45,767
Are you changing
your mind on this, Frank?
487
00:34:45,768 --> 00:34:50,314
I just think it's important that
you do what you think is best.
488
00:34:50,315 --> 00:34:55,236
The American people voted you
president, not me, not Raymond Tusk.
489
00:34:57,238 --> 00:35:00,283
- I'll let you know what I decide.
- Thank you, sir.
490
00:35:05,372 --> 00:35:08,331
[Webb] You think she's
Underwood's choice?
491
00:35:08,332 --> 00:35:10,543
He deflected, so it's possible.
492
00:35:17,258 --> 00:35:21,678
You and I, we need to work
together on this, Wes.
493
00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:24,682
- Before we both get screwed.
- I agree.
494
00:35:27,685 --> 00:35:32,188
One of us drops out,
throws support to the other.
495
00:35:32,189 --> 00:35:34,816
That'll dwarf
any following she has.
496
00:35:34,817 --> 00:35:37,986
You want me to drop out.
497
00:35:37,987 --> 00:35:40,364
I'll make sure you get my
chairmanship on Appropriations.
498
00:35:43,951 --> 00:35:48,039
All you can offer me is Ethics,
which nobody wants.
499
00:35:51,584 --> 00:35:54,086
Let's put this to bed, Wes.
500
00:35:57,381 --> 00:35:59,257
Webb must have
offered him a deal.
501
00:35:59,258 --> 00:36:00,758
Then we have
to offer a better one.
502
00:36:00,759 --> 00:36:02,301
I'm guessing Appropriations.
503
00:36:02,302 --> 00:36:03,635
There's no way I can top that.
504
00:36:03,636 --> 00:36:05,348
Except for Ways and Means.
505
00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:08,350
[scoffs]
506
00:36:08,351 --> 00:36:11,310
I won't let you give your chair
to an ass like Buchwalter.
507
00:36:11,311 --> 00:36:14,104
If you're the whip, you outrank
him and every other chairman.
508
00:36:14,105 --> 00:36:17,235
Screw committees. I'll have a
direct line to the Speaker.
509
00:36:17,236 --> 00:36:21,238
- Don't be stubborn, Jackie.
- You think he'd take it?
510
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,947
He was willing
to take a deal from Webb.
511
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:25,533
You're the only person
he hates more.
512
00:36:25,534 --> 00:36:29,829
He's a brute,
but he's not an idiot.
513
00:36:37,797 --> 00:36:40,049
Well, I know you're not
refusing out of loyalty.
514
00:36:40,050 --> 00:36:44,345
- True.
- So it's because of Ted.
515
00:36:47,765 --> 00:36:51,059
You think you are hot shit,
don't you?
516
00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:55,730
Can we set egos aside and talk
business like the adults we are?
517
00:36:57,984 --> 00:37:01,194
- I want more than Ways and Means.
- Tell me.
518
00:37:01,195 --> 00:37:05,283
I want Havemeyer gone.
Not just retired...
519
00:37:10,079 --> 00:37:12,330
...politically dead.
520
00:37:12,331 --> 00:37:14,457
That race was 12 years ago.
521
00:37:14,458 --> 00:37:17,043
That was 12 years I could've
been in the Senate.
522
00:37:17,044 --> 00:37:22,007
Revenge? Really?
523
00:37:22,008 --> 00:37:24,343
Not revenge.
524
00:37:25,803 --> 00:37:27,680
Equity.
525
00:37:29,348 --> 00:37:33,057
- Well, what are you gonna do?
- Buchwalter won't budge.
526
00:37:33,058 --> 00:37:37,313
You know, there's nothing I despise
more in life than pettiness.
527
00:37:37,314 --> 00:37:40,318
I could approach Webb, but I
don't have enough to offer him.
528
00:37:40,319 --> 00:37:43,736
He'd never drop out.
Too much pride.
529
00:37:43,737 --> 00:37:47,281
- I'm not sure what to do.
- This is my file on Ted.
530
00:37:47,282 --> 00:37:50,369
An illegitimate daughter.
The nanny, of course.
531
00:37:50,370 --> 00:37:54,247
Her name is Emily Rodriguez.
Nineteen, cerebral palsy.
532
00:37:54,248 --> 00:37:56,375
I know about Emily.
533
00:37:59,045 --> 00:38:01,962
- Why are we having this conversation?
- It's complicated.
534
00:38:01,963 --> 00:38:05,132
The daughter? It's very
black-and-white to me.
535
00:38:05,133 --> 00:38:09,511
I've known Ted since I was born.
He and my father were very close.
536
00:38:09,512 --> 00:38:12,514
- Yeah, I'm aware.
- He's always looked out for me.
537
00:38:12,515 --> 00:38:15,226
He got me into West Point.
He funded my first race.
538
00:38:15,227 --> 00:38:17,436
I like Ted. He's always
been a team player.
539
00:38:17,437 --> 00:38:20,064
- It's unfortunate he has this secret.
- It was a mistake.
540
00:38:20,065 --> 00:38:22,441
One he's always regretted.
After she was born,
541
00:38:22,442 --> 00:38:25,196
he asked me to check in on her
because he couldn't.
542
00:38:25,197 --> 00:38:30,408
- Because he trusted me.
- I see.
543
00:38:30,409 --> 00:38:33,662
You came in here knowing
what you had to do,
544
00:38:33,663 --> 00:38:36,457
hoping I would pull a rabbit out
of a hat so you wouldn't have to.
545
00:38:36,458 --> 00:38:41,587
I know the girl. I know her mother.
These people don't deserve this.
546
00:38:41,588 --> 00:38:44,757
I've given you all I can. Whatever
you decide is your prerogative.
547
00:38:44,758 --> 00:38:49,427
- But maybe I misjudged you.
- Ted is family to me.
548
00:38:49,428 --> 00:38:53,181
An adopted daughter,
in lieu of a real one.
549
00:38:53,182 --> 00:38:56,142
- Sir, the secretary is here.
- Thank you. Send her in.
550
00:38:56,143 --> 00:38:58,521
Excuse us.
551
00:39:08,989 --> 00:39:10,865
- It's good.
- [man] Not too long?
552
00:39:10,866 --> 00:39:13,158
A little bit, but not much.
553
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:17,496
- This part, three paragraphs in.
- About the phone companies?
554
00:39:17,497 --> 00:39:20,873
- Tell me more.
- It's one of Homeland Security's major concerns.
555
00:39:20,874 --> 00:39:23,544
That the cyberattacks might
infiltrate phone carriers,
556
00:39:23,545 --> 00:39:25,878
get access to millions
of people's data history.
557
00:39:25,879 --> 00:39:28,257
- Like who they called?
- Yeah. Who they called, texted,
558
00:39:28,258 --> 00:39:31,343
what they texted, when,
where they were. Everything.
559
00:39:31,344 --> 00:39:35,431
- And that's possible?
- There haven't been any catastrophic breaches yet.
560
00:39:35,432 --> 00:39:38,100
At least not reported. But it looks
like the Chinese are starting
561
00:39:38,101 --> 00:39:40,811
to recruit mercenaries on the Deep
Web to launch guerilla-type attacks
562
00:39:40,812 --> 00:39:43,314
- that can't be traced back--
- Hold on. The "Deep Web."
563
00:39:43,315 --> 00:39:46,108
- I've heard of that.
- Yeah, no, 96 percent of the Internet
564
00:39:46,109 --> 00:39:49,111
isn't accessible through standard search engines.
Most of it's useless.
565
00:39:49,112 --> 00:39:52,156
But it's where you go to find
anything and everything:
566
00:39:52,157 --> 00:39:56,493
child porn, bitcoin laundering,
mail-order narcotics, hackers for hire.
567
00:39:56,494 --> 00:39:59,121
- How do you access it?
- It's actually pretty easy.
568
00:39:59,122 --> 00:40:01,626
- I could show you if you want.
- Yeah, I'm curious.
569
00:40:01,627 --> 00:40:03,752
- Mind if I...?
- Go ahead.
570
00:40:03,753 --> 00:40:05,629
First thing you need's Tor.
571
00:40:05,630 --> 00:40:08,880
Some people prefer I2P,
but I think Tor is better.
572
00:40:08,881 --> 00:40:13,885
- What is Tor?
- Protects you through proxy servers, keeps you anonymous.
573
00:40:13,886 --> 00:40:16,349
Then I'll show how to get to the
posting boards and the IRCs.
574
00:40:16,350 --> 00:40:22,102
But I gotta warn you, be careful what you click.
Some crazy shit there, man.
575
00:40:22,103 --> 00:40:26,106
For too long,
we've danced on eggshells
576
00:40:26,107 --> 00:40:29,109
regarding the issue
of cyberwarfare.
577
00:40:29,110 --> 00:40:35,533
Secretary Durant acted on instructions
that came directly from me.
578
00:40:35,534 --> 00:40:38,619
Now, if the Chinese are not willing
to engage in a meaningful dialogue
579
00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:41,205
about intellectual property
of American corporations,
580
00:40:41,206 --> 00:40:45,751
as well as this deliberate targeting of
our government's online infrastructure,
581
00:40:45,752 --> 00:40:48,504
well, then that is proof
of a double-standard mentality
582
00:40:48,505 --> 00:40:50,631
that we shall
no longer tolerate.
583
00:40:50,632 --> 00:40:54,512
Our delegation to the Joint
Commission on Commerce and Trade
584
00:40:54,513 --> 00:40:57,930
was unfairly accused
and defamed
585
00:40:57,931 --> 00:41:01,934
by representatives of the
United States government.
586
00:41:01,935 --> 00:41:03,896
The People's Republic of China
587
00:41:03,897 --> 00:41:09,359
will not be threatened by derisive
and unsubstantiated claims.
588
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,488
As long as the White House
continues to behave this way,
589
00:41:13,489 --> 00:41:18,535
any future bilateral trade
talks will be impossible.
590
00:41:18,536 --> 00:41:20,451
It caught me by surprise, too.
591
00:41:20,452 --> 00:41:23,497
Did you say anything to him
after I hung up yesterday?
592
00:41:23,498 --> 00:41:26,750
- No. Have you spoken to him?
- A few minutes ago.
593
00:41:26,751 --> 00:41:29,043
He said he did
what he thought was right.
594
00:41:29,044 --> 00:41:31,296
Well, there's nothing
we can do to combat that.
595
00:41:31,297 --> 00:41:35,344
He doesn't usually go against my
advice without giving me fair warning.
596
00:41:35,345 --> 00:41:40,306
- What are you suggesting, Raymond?
- He's easily manipulated.
597
00:41:40,307 --> 00:41:43,141
- Clearly, not in this case.
- We need to fix this.
598
00:41:43,142 --> 00:41:46,645
- And I'm counting on you for that, Frank.
- Let me freshen your memory.
599
00:41:46,646 --> 00:41:50,941
I don't owe you any favors. I promised
to work with you, not for you.
600
00:41:50,942 --> 00:41:53,235
And when it comes to China,
we both want the same thing.
601
00:41:53,236 --> 00:41:56,739
- So we need to work together.
- To convince Garrett he should retract.
602
00:41:56,740 --> 00:41:58,990
To support the president
in the path that he's chosen.
603
00:41:58,991 --> 00:42:01,744
While he continues
to antagonize them publicly.
604
00:42:01,745 --> 00:42:04,663
While he continues to benefit
from a bump in approval ratings.
605
00:42:04,664 --> 00:42:09,167
A tough stance on China is popular,
and we can use that to our advantage.
606
00:42:09,168 --> 00:42:12,254
Let's just be patient and see if we can
smooth things over from back channels.
607
00:42:12,255 --> 00:42:15,134
If I don't see any results, you
won't have my patience for long.
608
00:42:15,135 --> 00:42:19,971
- That's understood.
- Let me know what Durant has to say.
609
00:42:19,972 --> 00:42:23,309
- Absolutely.
- Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
610
00:42:26,479 --> 00:42:30,522
I thought he might balk
at taking a handout from me.
611
00:42:30,523 --> 00:42:32,400
I'd call it more
than a handout.
612
00:42:32,401 --> 00:42:37,322
Well, he's always been the sort
of man who could be bought,
613
00:42:37,323 --> 00:42:39,698
but never cheaply.
614
00:42:39,699 --> 00:42:43,495
It's not the chairmanship
that bought him, Ted.
615
00:42:43,496 --> 00:42:45,537
What do you mean?
616
00:42:45,538 --> 00:42:48,876
I'm telling you this so that you
have time to call your wife
617
00:42:48,877 --> 00:42:51,044
and prepare your statement.
618
00:42:58,426 --> 00:43:01,553
What's my out?
What's he want from me?
619
00:43:01,554 --> 00:43:04,308
There is no out.
He wants it to hurt.
620
00:43:06,644 --> 00:43:08,644
- You told him?
- I just promised him
621
00:43:08,645 --> 00:43:12,232
- that I could make it happen.
- You can't do this, Jackie.
622
00:43:12,233 --> 00:43:15,276
The story's breaking tomorrow.
623
00:43:15,277 --> 00:43:19,198
- What part of it?
- No names. Just that you have a daughter.
624
00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:22,741
Have you thought about
what this will do to Diane?
625
00:43:22,742 --> 00:43:26,830
- To our sons?
- I hate myself for it.
626
00:43:26,831 --> 00:43:30,082
- But I'll get over that.
- What about her?
627
00:43:30,083 --> 00:43:34,252
- Emily? You can't even say her name, can you?
- Don't lecture me.
628
00:43:34,253 --> 00:43:35,838
You've never been
in the same room with her.
629
00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:38,258
She's had the best
treatment available.
630
00:43:38,259 --> 00:43:40,343
Alone. Hooked up
to machines.
631
00:43:40,344 --> 00:43:42,845
Surrounded by nurses
who punch out at dinnertime.
632
00:43:42,846 --> 00:43:45,683
- You don't know what I've been through.
- You? What about her?
633
00:43:45,684 --> 00:43:49,853
- I can't do more than I've done.
- That's bullshit, Ted.
634
00:43:49,854 --> 00:43:52,439
- You could've found a way.
- I won't defend myself to you.
635
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,150
Don't. Save that
for your wife.
636
00:43:59,446 --> 00:44:02,698
This isn't to punish you, Ted.
It's simpler than that.
637
00:44:02,699 --> 00:44:04,744
When I first encouraged
you to run for office,
638
00:44:04,745 --> 00:44:08,663
it's because I sensed
how unstoppable you were.
639
00:44:08,664 --> 00:44:14,420
But I never thought I'd have to
lie down on the tracks myself.
640
00:44:15,755 --> 00:44:19,298
If you're going to put
my neck in the noose,
641
00:44:19,299 --> 00:44:23,511
look me in the eye
while you do it.
642
00:44:31,811 --> 00:44:35,356
I'm very grateful for all
that you've done for me.
643
00:44:35,357 --> 00:44:38,277
You'll make an excellent
whip, Jacqueline.
644
00:44:38,278 --> 00:44:41,363
Now, please
get out of my office.
645
00:44:56,754 --> 00:44:59,090
What are you doing?
646
00:45:00,256 --> 00:45:02,593
Sh, sh, sh, sh!
647
00:45:09,976 --> 00:45:13,561
