1
00:00:02,127 --> 00:00:04,046
[phone beeping]
2
00:00:13,555 --> 00:00:15,555
Strange not seeing
your name up there.
3
00:00:15,556 --> 00:00:17,348
"To improve is to change..."
4
00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:19,018
"To perfect
is to change often."
5
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:21,062
You know your Churchill.
6
00:00:21,063 --> 00:00:22,436
Inscribed on the
watch you gave me
7
00:00:22,437 --> 00:00:24,230
- when I left for Glendon Hill.
- Was it?
8
00:00:24,231 --> 00:00:26,816
- Nancy arranges all the gifts.
- She knows you well.
9
00:00:26,817 --> 00:00:29,779
- As much as I'm enjoying this little--
- I got you two more votes.
10
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:32,823
Partridge and Krauss.
11
00:00:32,824 --> 00:00:35,284
Is this Raymond's way
of extending an olive branch?
12
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:39,413
- It's a start.
- Two votes is a twig. It's not a branch.
13
00:00:39,414 --> 00:00:43,291
- Which is why I'm here.
- Well, the vote is at 5:00.
14
00:00:43,292 --> 00:00:46,794
- We have less than three hours.
- Two hours and 49 minutes.
15
00:00:46,795 --> 00:00:49,841
- We have made more happen in less.
- Is that the watch?
16
00:00:49,842 --> 00:00:55,096
- No, it's nicer.
- So why did Raymond have a change of heart?
17
00:00:55,097 --> 00:00:57,346
If the government grinds to a
halt, that benefits no one.
18
00:00:57,347 --> 00:01:01,352
We want the president focused on China,
not distracted by furloughs and protests.
19
00:01:01,353 --> 00:01:04,188
You take direction
from Jacqueline.
20
00:01:04,189 --> 00:01:05,688
She's not gonna
like that very much.
21
00:01:05,689 --> 00:01:07,734
- Bossing you around?
- Having me around.
22
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,611
I don't blame her.
23
00:01:10,612 --> 00:01:12,653
[Connor] Ashleigh will start
the interview with questions
24
00:01:12,654 --> 00:01:15,406
about how you and your husband
met, your early marriage.
25
00:01:15,407 --> 00:01:17,953
- Fine.
- Then she'll move on to more specific
26
00:01:17,954 --> 00:01:23,749
- questions about your recent transition.
- All right.
27
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:26,459
She's gonna ask about you
having no children.
28
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:28,419
I thought we agreed
to take that off the table.
29
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:29,670
We did, but they insisted.
30
00:01:29,671 --> 00:01:31,631
Now, I can speak
to Ashleigh directly and--
31
00:01:31,632 --> 00:01:33,633
No, no. It's fine. I've been
asked the question before.
32
00:01:33,634 --> 00:01:35,635
- I know how to answer it.
- It'll be quick and painless.
33
00:01:35,636 --> 00:01:38,888
I'll confirm that with
Ashleigh when she gets here.
34
00:01:38,889 --> 00:01:41,557
- I like it.
- Maybe something less neutral.
35
00:01:41,558 --> 00:01:45,688
I'm sure you'll look good in whatever you choose.
I'll be downstairs.
36
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:52,193
[Jackie] Disori owes you for the
overpass funding you secured.
37
00:01:52,194 --> 00:01:54,070
- Yes, he does.
- I'll call him.
38
00:01:54,071 --> 00:01:55,863
- Where's Doug?
- He's doing the rounds.
39
00:01:55,864 --> 00:01:58,365
Making sure our
hard ones stay hard.
40
00:01:58,366 --> 00:02:01,119
Birch and Womack are doing the same.
But we're still 15 short.
41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,454
[Remy] I've got relationships
with most of these folks.
42
00:02:03,455 --> 00:02:06,791
Money's not enough. I already
tried the D-trip route.
43
00:02:06,792 --> 00:02:08,668
Retirement age is
the main sticking point?
44
00:02:08,669 --> 00:02:11,296
- Old people vote.
- I'll target the AARP.
45
00:02:11,297 --> 00:02:13,965
- That'll take most of the heat off.
- We're wasting time.
46
00:02:13,966 --> 00:02:16,718
- I gotta get to work.
- [Frank] Take Remy with you.
47
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:18,138
Shouldn't we divide
and conquer?
48
00:02:18,139 --> 00:02:20,806
It's harder to say no
twice than once.
49
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:22,014
[Remy] I'll stay
out of your way.
50
00:02:22,015 --> 00:02:23,516
Like you did
on the watershed act?
51
00:02:23,517 --> 00:02:25,017
We're on the same
side of the fence.
52
00:02:25,018 --> 00:02:26,560
You're late to the party.
53
00:02:26,561 --> 00:02:28,562
Think of Remy as the guy
who shows up
54
00:02:28,563 --> 00:02:31,191
with a six-pack after
the liquor stores close.
55
00:02:31,192 --> 00:02:33,860
- [Jackie] Who's on your plate?
- Donald Blythe.
56
00:02:33,861 --> 00:02:36,112
Do you really think that's
the best use of your time?
57
00:02:36,113 --> 00:02:38,072
[Frank] If I can get him
to turn his people.
58
00:02:38,073 --> 00:02:39,907
A lot of eggs
to put in one basket.
59
00:02:39,908 --> 00:02:41,329
We only have one basket.
60
00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:44,038
Jacqueline,
may I use your office,
61
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:47,876
- for old time's sake?
- I serve at the pleasure of the vice president.
62
00:02:47,877 --> 00:02:49,627
[door opens]
63
00:02:53,131 --> 00:02:54,341
[door closes]
64
00:02:54,342 --> 00:02:56,382
Two hours and 17 minutes.
65
00:02:56,383 --> 00:03:00,344
Normally all I need to sway Donald
Blythe is patience and time,
66
00:03:00,345 --> 00:03:02,682
neither of which
I have right now.
67
00:03:02,683 --> 00:03:05,727
- [raps knuckles]
- Tick tock.
68
00:04:31,498 --> 00:04:34,966
Sync and corrections by n17t01
www.addic7ed.com
69
00:04:45,243 --> 00:04:48,954
- Donald. Good to see you.
- Mr. Vice President.
70
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:51,164
Please,
it's always Frank to you.
71
00:04:51,165 --> 00:04:54,375
I came because you asked me, but
don't mistake that for false hope.
72
00:04:54,376 --> 00:04:56,252
If you have other people
to lobby, you should.
73
00:04:56,253 --> 00:04:58,545
- Ten minutes.
- It won't change anything.
74
00:04:58,546 --> 00:05:00,965
Well, at the very least,
enjoy the free coffee.
75
00:05:00,966 --> 00:05:03,134
- I don't drink caffeine.
- Then decaf.
76
00:05:03,135 --> 00:05:05,970
- Still has caffeine.
- Well, enjoy the free oxygen.
77
00:05:05,971 --> 00:05:08,222
It gets stuffy over there
in the Longworth building.
78
00:05:08,223 --> 00:05:10,977
- Coffee for me, and...
- Seltzer water, if you have it.
79
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:12,937
I'm sure we do.
80
00:05:16,941 --> 00:05:21,528
Now, I can understand
if you might hold a grudge.
81
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:24,070
I don't hold grudges, Frank.
I just don't negotiate
82
00:05:24,071 --> 00:05:26,407
with people who are
fundamentally deceptive.
83
00:05:26,408 --> 00:05:28,075
I never lied to you, Donald.
84
00:05:28,076 --> 00:05:30,744
You promised to seek my counsel,
which you never once did.
85
00:05:30,745 --> 00:05:34,790
We had to move the education bill in a
direction I knew would make you unhappy.
86
00:05:34,791 --> 00:05:37,335
- I saw no reason to frustrate--
- You eviscerated the unions.
87
00:05:37,336 --> 00:05:40,213
- You federalized performance standards.
- If we hadn't done that,
88
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:41,881
the bill would've
been dead in the water.
89
00:05:41,882 --> 00:05:43,257
Now you want to cut
the pathetic level
90
00:05:43,258 --> 00:05:44,802
of funding you
did manage to pass.
91
00:05:44,803 --> 00:05:48,096
Isn't some funding better
than none?
92
00:05:48,097 --> 00:05:51,226
A flatline will send a louder
message than life support.
93
00:05:51,227 --> 00:05:56,230
Look, I'm impressed with the little
coalition you've cobbled together,
94
00:05:56,231 --> 00:06:00,150
- but we--
- Not so little. Twenty-eight votes.
95
00:06:00,151 --> 00:06:04,071
- And you need them all.
- Well, really only half.
96
00:06:04,072 --> 00:06:08,241
- Half of zero is still zero.
- I had to pull every trick in the book
97
00:06:08,242 --> 00:06:10,743
to get entitlement through the Senate.
If it fails in the House,
98
00:06:10,744 --> 00:06:13,162
we don't get a round two.
This is a one-time deal.
99
00:06:13,163 --> 00:06:16,710
It should never have passed
the Senate to begin with.
100
00:06:16,711 --> 00:06:20,713
Can we start over?
May I offer you an apology?
101
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:23,840
Deaf ears, Frank.
102
00:06:23,841 --> 00:06:28,177
I withdrew myself from the education
fight and that is my cross to bear.
103
00:06:28,178 --> 00:06:30,971
But I will be damned if I will
make the same mistake twice.
104
00:06:30,972 --> 00:06:35,520
This sort of stubbornness makes
you no better than the tea party.
105
00:06:37,272 --> 00:06:41,232
- Except for the fact... that we happen to be right.
- [door opens]
106
00:06:41,233 --> 00:06:45,152
Just a few more minutes, Donald. You
haven't even had your seltzer yet.
107
00:06:45,153 --> 00:06:48,072
They have seven other data centers
spread across the Northeast.
108
00:06:48,073 --> 00:06:50,533
- Those aren't good odds.
- Well, if we can access one,
109
00:06:50,534 --> 00:06:52,993
I should be able to talk to the other seven.
They all look like that.
110
00:06:52,994 --> 00:06:55,664
- Fort Knox wrapped in a nuclear bunker.
- How do we get in?
111
00:06:55,665 --> 00:06:58,500
Well, we don't. You do.
112
00:06:58,501 --> 00:07:02,712
What...? How?
What's my reason?
113
00:07:02,713 --> 00:07:06,173
You're writing a story on cyberterrorism.
It's free publicity.
114
00:07:06,174 --> 00:07:08,301
- If they're so secure--
- They give tours all the time.
115
00:07:08,302 --> 00:07:11,264
- Mostly to prospective clients.
- Then why haven't you done it yourself?
116
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:14,308
Because I run a white hat firm.
117
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:17,562
And if I were to show up in the tour logs
before a breach, it would raise alarms.
118
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:23,443
OK. Once I'm in?
119
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,944
These are what
servers look like.
120
00:07:26,945 --> 00:07:29,282
If you can get inside one of
these cages, you will have this.
121
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:33,952
You slide it into
the server. Voilà.
122
00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:36,454
- It's that simple?
- Yeah. Well, your part, not mine.
123
00:07:36,455 --> 00:07:39,417
- Code's extremely complex.
- How do I do it without them noticing?
124
00:07:39,418 --> 00:07:43,963
You get good at anything.
Practice makes perfect.
125
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:50,178
[phone ringing]
126
00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:01,189
We've got a problem.
127
00:08:05,067 --> 00:08:10,490
Everyone, stop what you're doing, head
into the nearest office and shut the door.
128
00:08:10,491 --> 00:08:13,576
You, stay exactly where you are.
129
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:22,416
Retirement age is a done deal.
130
00:08:22,417 --> 00:08:24,585
I might be able to redistribute
some appropriations...
131
00:08:24,586 --> 00:08:28,755
That's not what I'm after. You can't
fix a wrecked car with new hubcaps.
132
00:08:28,756 --> 00:08:31,842
How about a sister bill? One that
focuses entirely on education.
133
00:08:31,843 --> 00:08:34,761
My coalition is fighting
for the integrity of the party.
134
00:08:34,762 --> 00:08:36,763
- [phone ringing]
- We're not just focused on education--
135
00:08:36,764 --> 00:08:38,725
I'm sorry, Donald.
Excuse me.
136
00:08:38,726 --> 00:08:42,020
Nancy, I said no interrup...
137
00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:43,812
- When?
- [sirens wailing outside]
138
00:08:43,813 --> 00:08:46,651
But the vote is in
less than an hour. I...
139
00:08:46,652 --> 00:08:52,280
I don't care what protocol... Quarantine.
There's white powder in the mail.
140
00:08:52,281 --> 00:08:55,783
- We're locked in?
- Sir! Close the door now!
141
00:08:55,784 --> 00:08:59,163
- Look, I have to--
- Now, sir! Please!
142
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:04,543
- I should call my wife.
- And I should call Claire.
143
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:08,462
- Should I tell Connor?
- [Frank] No. It's better the press doesn't know.
144
00:09:08,463 --> 00:09:10,964
Field tests should come in before the vote.
Soon as the tally's in,
145
00:09:10,965 --> 00:09:13,177
- I'll come home.
- [Claire] How's it looking?
146
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:15,554
Shaky. We may lose this one.
147
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:18,097
That could make
for a tough interview.
148
00:09:18,098 --> 00:09:20,226
[Frank] Well, I didn't want
to do it in the first place.
149
00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:22,018
Well, we're committed now.
150
00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:24,687
[Frank] I better get
back to the holy crusader.
151
00:09:24,688 --> 00:09:26,980
Let me know as soon
as the tests have cleared.
152
00:09:26,981 --> 00:09:28,649
If we're lucky,
it'll be anthrax.
153
00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:30,359
I won't live long enough
to see the bill fail.
154
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,362
- Don't say that.
- [Frank] We're gonna be fine.
155
00:09:33,363 --> 00:09:35,740
How many of these quarantines
we been through?
156
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:38,494
- I've lost count.
- Wish me luck with Donald.
157
00:09:38,495 --> 00:09:40,954
Heels crossed.
158
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:43,414
- [man] It's ripping the caucus apart.
- Of course.
159
00:09:43,415 --> 00:09:46,166
[man] We took a united stand
on our version of the bill.
160
00:09:46,167 --> 00:09:49,754
- Some of us have to stay on our feet.
- This is about party unity.
161
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:53,507
- It's about abandoning our base.
- No. That's what the freeze is.
162
00:09:53,508 --> 00:09:55,385
Our base doesn't benefit
from sword rattling.
163
00:09:55,386 --> 00:09:57,385
It gets left
bleeding on the field.
164
00:09:57,386 --> 00:10:00,306
My district has the third largest
number of seniors in the country.
165
00:10:00,307 --> 00:10:03,934
If we raise the age of retirement,
the AARP will raise hell.
166
00:10:03,935 --> 00:10:06,479
I spoke with the president
of the AARP this morning.
167
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,399
They'll be receiving a 45 million
dollar endowment next week.
168
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Voters will still revolt.
169
00:10:11,401 --> 00:10:13,486
- [phone chimes]
- The midterms are gonna be ugly.
170
00:10:13,487 --> 00:10:15,488
Many, and I can speak
for myself--
171
00:10:15,489 --> 00:10:18,783
The choice is between immediate
discontinuation of services
172
00:10:18,784 --> 00:10:21,245
and an age bump
five years from now.
173
00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:25,415
You're comparing theoretical
discomfort to imminent pain.
174
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:28,041
I just feel like we're losing
touch with our core values.
175
00:10:28,042 --> 00:10:30,419
The education bill
was a good example.
176
00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:32,797
We all followed Frank's lead,
hoping it would buy us
177
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:36,594
- traction with the Republicans.
- Would you excuse me? Just one moment.
178
00:10:40,556 --> 00:10:42,890
- Does the press know?
- Not yet.
179
00:10:42,891 --> 00:10:44,809
Can you keep in touch with him?
180
00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:48,105
I need to pummel our lunch
guests into submission.
181
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:51,441
You got 'em close,
but relax. Listen more.
182
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:54,987
They want their hands held,
not someone in their face.
183
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:58,072
I know how to whip votes.
184
00:10:58,073 --> 00:11:00,199
[Remy] Best caviar in DC,
ladies and gentlemen.
185
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,286
- We can't let you pay for that.
- [Remy] Then don't eat it.
186
00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:05,831
But if you do,
I won't tell anyone.
187
00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:08,459
You were saying
about the education bill...
188
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:11,878
[indistinct radio chatter]
189
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:26,852
No, Marjory, honey. Remember,
we just talked about it.
190
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:28,312
I was telling you...
191
00:11:29,271 --> 00:11:31,566
Right. Nothing to worry about.
192
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:35,319
If you have any questions,
ask Molly.
193
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,446
She knows what's going on.
194
00:11:39,281 --> 00:11:42,451
I will call as soon
as I know anything.
195
00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:46,288
I love you.
196
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:51,043
How's Marjory?
197
00:11:56,507 --> 00:12:00,677
- She's OK.
- Long call.
198
00:12:00,678 --> 00:12:05,557
You know, she... gets emotional.
199
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:08,351
Molly took a semester off
to be at home.
200
00:12:08,352 --> 00:12:10,479
I told her she needs
to head back in the spring.
201
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,981
I don't want her mother
dragging her down.
202
00:12:13,982 --> 00:12:17,570
- Must be hard on you.
- Harder on the girls, I think.
203
00:12:17,571 --> 00:12:21,448
- Is she lucid?
- About half the time.
204
00:12:21,449 --> 00:12:25,744
Just enough to be aware
of how quickly she's going.
205
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,872
It's awful.
206
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:38,172
I feel terrible saying it, but part of me
is looking forward to her not being lucid.
207
00:12:38,173 --> 00:12:41,552
At least then she won't
realize what's happening.
208
00:12:43,262 --> 00:12:45,431
I should have thought
of this before.
209
00:12:45,432 --> 00:12:48,267
Appeal to the heart,
not the brain.
210
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:51,853
Forgive my ignorance, but...
211
00:12:51,854 --> 00:12:55,649
...has there been any
progress with research?
212
00:12:55,650 --> 00:13:01,571
Some. Genetic testing, vascular manipulation.
But it's slow.
213
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:04,615
They won't come up with
anything in time for Marjory.
214
00:13:04,616 --> 00:13:08,661
We're focusing on quality of life.
Look, I know you have work to do, so--
215
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:10,955
I'm no longer the whip.
That's Jacqueline's job.
216
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:13,624
I just agreed to meet with you
because we have a history.
217
00:13:13,625 --> 00:13:15,626
She would be tougher
to say no to.
218
00:13:15,627 --> 00:13:17,755
But it still
would've been a "no."
219
00:13:17,756 --> 00:13:22,133
- Yes.
- I admire your convictions, Donald.
220
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:24,092
You're a rare breed nowadays.
221
00:13:24,093 --> 00:13:26,720
It didn't sound that way when you
were comparing us to the tea party.
222
00:13:26,721 --> 00:13:31,310
I was being unfair. You're not a reactionary.
You're a progressive.
223
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:36,523
- I see where this is going.
- How do you mean?
224
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:41,696
When you've been in the wasteland as long
as I have, you become immune to flattery.
225
00:13:41,697 --> 00:13:44,906
I know you think I'm
fundamentally deceptive,
226
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:47,616
but I am capable
of a genuine compliment.
227
00:13:47,617 --> 00:13:50,911
Then I will take it as one, but
it won't soften my resolve.
228
00:13:50,912 --> 00:13:54,957
If it did, you wouldn't deserve the
compliment in the first place.
229
00:13:54,958 --> 00:13:57,543
If you vote no,
I won't hold it against you.
230
00:13:57,544 --> 00:14:00,464
We are all in this together
through the midterms.
231
00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:06,594
But, if you stick with me,
we can show both the Republicans
232
00:14:06,595 --> 00:14:10,182
and the American people that we are
capable of more than stagnation.
233
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:13,477
And that's worth something,
even if it hurts.
234
00:14:15,938 --> 00:14:18,024
Who can I count on?
235
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:29,660
[indistinct radio chatter]
236
00:14:38,712 --> 00:14:40,504
Copy that.
237
00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:51,764
The fact that there's still a door
between us, I take as a bad sign.
238
00:14:51,765 --> 00:14:54,182
One tested negative,
one inconclusive, sir.
239
00:14:54,183 --> 00:14:56,309
That means we have to take
the samples to the lab.
240
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:59,145
- So how much longer?
- Another three or four hours.
241
00:14:59,146 --> 00:15:02,983
We have an important vote going to the floor.
I have to be talking to my people.
242
00:15:02,984 --> 00:15:06,736
The vote is delayed, sir. We're
evacuating this side of the Capitol.
243
00:15:06,737 --> 00:15:09,739
- So no vote?
- Not until we get the all-clear.
244
00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:12,701
- Good things happen to good people.
- Another thing, sir.
245
00:15:12,702 --> 00:15:16,830
All cell phone service, WiFi, land
lines, we'll be blocking them,
246
00:15:16,831 --> 00:15:18,999
in case there's
a legitimate security threat.
247
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,502
- I need to be able to call my wife!
- I apologize, sir.
248
00:15:22,503 --> 00:15:25,672
- We can have someone notify her.
- No, it needs to be me.
249
00:15:25,673 --> 00:15:28,051
She gets very anxious if she
doesn't recognize the voice.
250
00:15:28,052 --> 00:15:30,176
[man] Congressman, I have
strict instructions not--
251
00:15:30,177 --> 00:15:33,015
Figure it out, unless you want me
to get the White House involved.
252
00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:36,727
I'll find a way, sir.
253
00:15:38,145 --> 00:15:41,565
There are advantages
to being vice president.
254
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:48,695
[man] Ma'am, we'll have to ask you to
remain up here for a little while.
255
00:15:48,696 --> 00:15:51,450
- Is it the quarantine?
- The Capitol is being evacuated.
256
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:56,329
We expect everything to be fine.
It's just standard procedure.
257
00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:59,289
You won't be able to get through.
Communication's being jammed.
258
00:15:59,290 --> 00:16:02,417
- You mean I can't even speak to Francis?
- Not until the all-clear.
259
00:16:02,418 --> 00:16:05,087
- [Connor] How long?
- [man] Four hours is the estimate right now.
260
00:16:05,088 --> 00:16:08,843
- We're supposed to tape in 25 minutes.
- [man] Nothing we can do.
261
00:16:08,844 --> 00:16:12,846
- You OK?
- Yes.
262
00:16:12,847 --> 00:16:15,557
I'll go talk to Emma.
263
00:16:16,684 --> 00:16:18,894
No, I'm fine. Thank you.
264
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:25,483
Em.
265
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:27,943
- So we might have a problem.
- It's all over the news.
266
00:16:27,944 --> 00:16:30,821
- Yeah, it could be a while.
- Can we get audio from the vice president?
267
00:16:30,822 --> 00:16:33,573
Communications are being jammed
until the evacuation's over.
268
00:16:33,574 --> 00:16:35,075
- Have you spoken to Ashleigh?
- She thinks we should get
269
00:16:35,076 --> 00:16:36,703
a sat truck down here
and wait and go live.
270
00:16:36,704 --> 00:16:38,912
I can't guarantee
when that'll be.
271
00:16:38,913 --> 00:16:41,708
The vice president is quarantined in
the Capitol and we have an exclusive.
272
00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:44,126
The network will broadcast
whenever the hell we tell them to.
273
00:16:44,127 --> 00:16:46,336
[Claire on walkie] They're
holding off until you get here.
274
00:16:46,337 --> 00:16:48,588
You should do the
interview solo.
275
00:16:48,589 --> 00:16:51,925
- I'd rather wait.
- Who knows whether we'll win the vote?
276
00:16:51,926 --> 00:16:54,428
If we lose, I don't want my face
on national television.
277
00:16:54,429 --> 00:16:57,639
- This could be a silver lining.
- I don't know, Francis.
278
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,143
- I'm sure you'll be terrific.
- Let me run it past Connor.
279
00:17:01,144 --> 00:17:03,480
[Frank] OK.
Thank you, we're done.
280
00:17:03,481 --> 00:17:08,484
- Sir, we were able to get Mrs. Blythe.
- Donald.
281
00:17:08,485 --> 00:17:10,528
- Marjory?
- [Marjory] Hello?
282
00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:13,740
- Yes, it's me, sweetheart.
- It's hard to hear you.
283
00:17:13,741 --> 00:17:18,037
- We're still stuck inside the office.
- What office?
284
00:17:18,038 --> 00:17:21,415
At the Capitol. It's going
to be a little while longer.
285
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:23,875
But why are you there?
It's Sunday.
286
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,836
- No, it's Friday, sweetheart.
- Donald?
287
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:29,881
- I'm here.
- Who is this man with me?
288
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:35,011
He's a police officer. They're using
walkie-talkies so we can speak.
289
00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:38,138
- Who am I talking to?
- [man] It's your husband, ma'am.
290
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:41,266
- [Marjory] I'm not married.
- It's me. It's Donald.
291
00:17:41,267 --> 00:17:43,311
Turn it off.
I don't know that man.
292
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:46,940
- Marjory!
- [man] She went to the other room, sir.
293
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:52,028
OK, thank you.
294
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:55,449
- If you could stay with her, please?
- [man] Yes, sir.
295
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:21,100
[Frank] Drink?
296
00:18:23,811 --> 00:18:26,938
Sure. Why not?
297
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:29,689
[Connor] For all we know, it could
be midnight before he's out.
298
00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:31,984
- He still needs to manage the vote.
- [Emma] We're fine if it's 2am.
299
00:18:31,985 --> 00:18:34,194
[Connor] When
everyone's asleep.
300
00:18:34,195 --> 00:18:36,238
- [Emma] People would stay up for this.
- The whole point was primetime.
301
00:18:36,239 --> 00:18:37,990
- Then we do it tomorrow.
- We've already set aside
302
00:18:37,991 --> 00:18:39,532
half a day for this.
The vice president can't
303
00:18:39,533 --> 00:18:41,576
rearrange his schedule
for an interview.
304
00:18:41,577 --> 00:18:45,040
- I don't see any other options.
- I spoke to Francis over the radio.
305
00:18:45,041 --> 00:18:49,710
- We think I should do it alone.
- Just you?
306
00:18:49,711 --> 00:18:51,837
Mrs. Underwood and Ashleigh,
one-on-one.
307
00:18:51,838 --> 00:18:53,297
Maybe we can
broadcast his voice--
308
00:18:53,298 --> 00:18:55,465
Francis doesn't want
the entire interview
309
00:18:55,466 --> 00:18:57,217
to be about the quarantine.
310
00:18:57,218 --> 00:18:59,385
Neither do I.
That's just spectacle.
311
00:18:59,386 --> 00:19:01,265
The quarantine is news.
We have an opportunity--
312
00:19:01,266 --> 00:19:03,474
- We're done.
- What?
313
00:19:03,475 --> 00:19:05,602
- Cancel the interview. No reschedule.
- Come on.
314
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:08,897
Please, pack up
everything and leave.
315
00:19:09,731 --> 00:19:12,651
OK, let me call Ashleigh.
316
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:20,325
I thought I'd get used to it,
but no. Hurts every time.
317
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:24,997
You spend 30 years with someone and then
they don't have a damn clue who you are.
318
00:19:27,708 --> 00:19:30,543
Oh... I really shouldn't.
319
00:19:30,544 --> 00:19:32,544
If we never did anything
we shouldn't do,
320
00:19:32,545 --> 00:19:35,214
we'd never feel good about
doing the things we should.
321
00:19:35,215 --> 00:19:38,884
- Excellent point.
- If these are our last moments on Earth,
322
00:19:38,885 --> 00:19:41,805
I don't know about you, but I'd
rather go out with a buzz on.
323
00:19:41,806 --> 00:19:45,350
- [Donald chuckles]
- To Marjory.
324
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:50,647
- You love her dearly.
- More than anything.
325
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:57,611
I can't imagine what I'd do
without Claire, or if she...
326
00:19:57,612 --> 00:19:59,989
...didn't remember who I was.
327
00:19:59,990 --> 00:20:02,782
- Hopefully you'll never have to.
- It makes me angry that you do.
328
00:20:02,783 --> 00:20:06,413
- That anybody does.
- No sense being angry over what you can't change.
329
00:20:07,789 --> 00:20:11,377
How much funding
does Alzheimer's research get?
330
00:20:11,378 --> 00:20:14,045
Just under 500 million.
331
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:17,091
Well, I'm no expert, but that
sounds inadequate to me.
332
00:20:17,092 --> 00:20:21,302
It is. For every $100
we allocate to research,
333
00:20:21,303 --> 00:20:25,388
- we spend nearly $30,000 on care.
- We oughta change that.
334
00:20:25,389 --> 00:20:28,143
I tried. My bill didn't
even leave committee.
335
00:20:28,144 --> 00:20:31,520
- Who opposed it?
- Howard Webb.
336
00:20:31,521 --> 00:20:36,025
- [groans] Appropriations.
- He didn't even put it to a vote.
337
00:20:36,026 --> 00:20:40,528
- I've never been fond of Howard.
- [laughs] That makes two of us.
338
00:20:40,529 --> 00:20:43,951
- What was his argument?
- He didn't feel he owed me one.
339
00:20:43,952 --> 00:20:46,994
"Fiscally irresponsible,"
is all he said.
340
00:20:46,995 --> 00:20:53,168
Walk me through the
specifics of your bill.
341
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:03,219
- I see what you're doing.
- Doing what?
342
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,511
- You're disgusting, Frank.
- Excuse me.
343
00:21:05,512 --> 00:21:08,223
- Using my wife.
- Donald, what are you saying?
344
00:21:08,224 --> 00:21:11,851
You think I'll give in on entitlement if
you slap some extra Alzheimer's funding
345
00:21:11,852 --> 00:21:14,146
- on the table?
- I was not suggesting that at all.
346
00:21:14,147 --> 00:21:17,441
- Bullshit, Frank.
- You think as little of me as you want,
347
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:19,151
but I do not barter
with people's health.
348
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:21,694
Then why are you trying to raise
the age of retirement?
349
00:21:21,695 --> 00:21:24,530
Medical research we can afford.
Medicare we can't.
350
00:21:24,531 --> 00:21:28,412
- There are realities, Donald.
- Don't talk down to me about realities.
351
00:21:28,413 --> 00:21:31,414
My wife is dying!
That's a reality!
352
00:21:31,415 --> 00:21:34,833
Other people will die, too,
if your package succeeds!
353
00:21:34,834 --> 00:21:38,295
That's a reality! Goddamn it,
I wish I wasn't stuck
354
00:21:38,296 --> 00:21:40,590
- in this fucking room with you!
- Donald.
355
00:21:40,591 --> 00:21:42,592
I'm done talking!
356
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,263
- One more time.
- I've got it.
357
00:21:46,264 --> 00:21:48,763
I want it to
sound more natural.
358
00:21:48,764 --> 00:21:52,142
Francis and I wanted to devote
our lives to public service.
359
00:21:52,143 --> 00:21:56,938
And we didn't feel that we could both do
that and be the parents we wanted to be.
360
00:21:56,939 --> 00:21:59,565
And by making that choice,
it allows more time for us
361
00:21:59,566 --> 00:22:02,237
- to be in the service of others.
- Good, that sounds good.
362
00:22:02,238 --> 00:22:04,614
We need you,
Mrs. Underwood.
363
00:22:10,454 --> 00:22:14,039
[Lucas] Keep Derek at the Capitol. I want
quotes from evacuees and Homeland Security.
364
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,878
And Sarah should be finishing
that history of biohazard scares.
365
00:22:17,879 --> 00:22:20,338
I'll be there soon.
366
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:23,257
- I have to go.
- No. We're not done yet.
367
00:22:23,258 --> 00:22:25,884
This is a major story.
I'll come back tomorrow.
368
00:22:25,885 --> 00:22:28,761
Come here two days in a row
and this is how patterns emerge.
369
00:22:28,762 --> 00:22:32,556
The FBI likes patterns. And we do not
give the FBI what the FBI likes.
370
00:22:32,557 --> 00:22:34,520
I can't disappear all
day in the middle of...
371
00:22:34,521 --> 00:22:39,524
- I have eight reporters out in the field.
- Stop!
372
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:44,862
- Tell me why I purchased Cashew.
- I don't know.
373
00:22:44,863 --> 00:22:47,948
Companionship?
374
00:22:47,949 --> 00:22:49,659
Yes.
375
00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:54,831
But more importantly,
a reminder that I am never more
376
00:22:54,832 --> 00:22:59,001
than one wrong move away
from life in a cage.
377
00:22:59,002 --> 00:23:00,794
You stay.
378
00:23:00,795 --> 00:23:03,088
I'm gonna walk you through every
line of code I intend to write,
379
00:23:03,089 --> 00:23:05,882
every attempt I make to breach
the wall. If we get caught,
380
00:23:05,883 --> 00:23:08,510
you don't get to plead
ignorance. We go down together.
381
00:23:08,511 --> 00:23:11,971
I didn't sign up for Bonnie and Clyde.
You need me for this one thing.
382
00:23:11,972 --> 00:23:14,600
Just like I need you. But
whatever you've done before me...
383
00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:21,024
You know where I live,
and you know who I am.
384
00:23:26,863 --> 00:23:30,909
Sit down. The sooner we start,
the sooner we finish.
385
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:39,040
[woman on TV] The Capitol is still
on lockdown as hazmat crews continue
386
00:23:39,041 --> 00:23:40,751
a thorough sweep
of the building.
387
00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:42,794
Earlier this morning,
a white powder-like
388
00:23:42,795 --> 00:23:45,046
- substance was found in a package...
- [knocking]
389
00:23:45,047 --> 00:23:47,966
...mailed to the office of
Majority Whip Jacqueline Sharp.
390
00:23:47,967 --> 00:23:51,386
- Are we free to go?
- [man] Almost, sir. Less than an hour.
391
00:23:51,387 --> 00:23:54,431
- I've got a message from your wife.
- [Frank] What is it?
392
00:23:54,432 --> 00:23:56,933
[man] She's doing the
interview live, right now.
393
00:23:56,934 --> 00:24:01,104
[TV] ...Congressman Donald Blythe
and 14 of Ms. Sharp's staff.
394
00:24:01,105 --> 00:24:05,819
Mrs. Underwood, I so appreciate you
taking the time to speak with us today
395
00:24:05,820 --> 00:24:09,822
in what I am certain
is a very stressful situation.
396
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:13,575
- Thank you, Ashleigh.
- Have you spoken with your husband today?
397
00:24:13,576 --> 00:24:16,786
[Claire] Yes, I did,
and he's in very good spirits,
398
00:24:16,787 --> 00:24:18,871
and in good hands
with the Secret Service.
399
00:24:18,872 --> 00:24:21,291
Of course, he's very disappointed
he couldn't be here.
400
00:24:21,292 --> 00:24:24,503
[Ashleigh] Well, our thoughts are with
him and everyone else quarantined
401
00:24:24,504 --> 00:24:26,340
- at the Capitol today.
- [Claire] Thank you.
402
00:24:26,341 --> 00:24:29,425
I'd like to begin
with Claire Underwood
403
00:24:29,426 --> 00:24:32,637
before you met your husband,
in Texas.
404
00:24:32,638 --> 00:24:35,474
- And I have a couple of pictures.
- Oh, no.
405
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:37,391
Yes. [chuckles]
406
00:24:37,392 --> 00:24:40,727
Oh, my goodness.
That was Red.
407
00:24:40,728 --> 00:24:45,065
- An accomplished rider?
- An enthusiast. [laughs]
408
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:49,736
- This one's from a couple of years later.
- Oh, my goodness.
409
00:24:49,737 --> 00:24:52,614
You like those penny loafers?
Those are won...
410
00:24:52,615 --> 00:24:57,329
Those are two very different girls. Which
one are you more comfortable being?
411
00:24:59,122 --> 00:25:03,668
My family's ranch,
that was home for me.
412
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:05,421
You didn't like
the prep school?
413
00:25:05,422 --> 00:25:08,964
No, I think
I preferred the dirt.
414
00:25:08,965 --> 00:25:11,716
[both laugh]
415
00:25:11,717 --> 00:25:15,388
You grew up in Dallas,
though. Highland Park.
416
00:25:15,389 --> 00:25:20,099
Yes. My father, well, he was a
businessman, so we lived in the city.
417
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:24,856
But we're ranchers. I mean, we go
back three generations, our family.
418
00:25:24,857 --> 00:25:27,567
Your parents were very wealthy.
419
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:30,528
We were comfortable, yes.
420
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:33,698
They made sure
I wanted for nothing.
421
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:36,409
It was a very happy childhood.
422
00:25:36,410 --> 00:25:40,829
What is your most vivid
memory from that time?
423
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:45,335
My most vivid memory?
Wow. Um...
424
00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:51,090
Probably, when I was
about nine or ten,
425
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:55,802
my father took me to Dealey
Plaza where Kennedy was shot.
426
00:25:55,803 --> 00:25:59,056
And he said, "Claire,
a great man died here."
427
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:03,394
And I remember not
fully comprehending
428
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:05,730
the meaning of death yet.
429
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:10,276
And I asked him how he died
and he told me.
430
00:26:10,277 --> 00:26:13,947
And I remember feeling so sad,
so angry.
431
00:26:14,948 --> 00:26:18,325
It seemed so unfair.
432
00:26:18,326 --> 00:26:23,373
I started to cry, and my daddy picked
me up and he wrapped his arms around me
433
00:26:23,374 --> 00:26:27,209
and he said,
"Don't be sad, sweetheart.
434
00:26:27,210 --> 00:26:32,633
He made the world a better place, but
sometimes that comes at a price."
435
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,887
I guess that was
the most vivid memory.
436
00:26:40,432 --> 00:26:44,436
- [indistinct radio chatter]
- [sirens wailing]
437
00:26:53,818 --> 00:26:57,029
- We're only eight votes away.
- I'm sorry, I made up my mind.
438
00:26:57,030 --> 00:26:58,740
Me too. I gotta stick
to my guns on this one.
439
00:26:58,741 --> 00:27:01,618
You would rather
let the government shut down--
440
00:27:01,619 --> 00:27:04,245
Don't put that on us because we're
on the ass-end of the whip list.
441
00:27:04,246 --> 00:27:07,165
Don't get us wrong. We have a
lot of respect for you, Jackie.
442
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:10,962
You're doing a fine job since Frank's gone.
Different styles, but a fine job.
443
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:14,298
Excuse us just a moment.
444
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:18,261
- They're not taking me seriously.
- Because you're not Frank.
445
00:27:18,262 --> 00:27:22,055
- You mean because I'm not a man.
- No, I mean Frank.
446
00:27:22,056 --> 00:27:25,475
They're used to being offered something.
Ask them what they want.
447
00:27:25,476 --> 00:27:27,310
Paul needs help with the
waste treatment facility.
448
00:27:27,311 --> 00:27:30,607
You're being just as
condescending as they are.
449
00:27:30,608 --> 00:27:35,570
Take some good advice when you get it.
I was right earlier, wasn't I?
450
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,453
Paul, Remy tells me you
need a waste treatment plant.
451
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:48,415
We've had some trouble
getting matching federal funds.
452
00:27:48,416 --> 00:27:52,418
Ben, you mentioned once a
winery museum in your district.
453
00:27:52,419 --> 00:27:54,713
We are making some great wines
in Long Island these days.
454
00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:58,383
I've tried some. It tastes like piss
compared to what we have in Napa.
455
00:27:58,384 --> 00:28:01,469
The sort of piss that belongs in
Paul's waste treatment plant.
456
00:28:01,470 --> 00:28:04,347
- Jackie...
- We have a possible terror attack,
457
00:28:04,348 --> 00:28:06,683
and you're holding out your
plates for more pork?
458
00:28:06,684 --> 00:28:08,854
You should be ashamed of
yourselves. In my caucus,
459
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:14,066
people are rewarded for good behavior,
not trading their votes for ransom.
460
00:28:14,067 --> 00:28:16,570
When we walk in there,
I expect the both of you
461
00:28:16,571 --> 00:28:20,448
to vote yes without
a moment's hesitation.
462
00:28:21,742 --> 00:28:24,078
Thank you for your
change of heart.
463
00:28:26,204 --> 00:28:29,415
Six more to go.
464
00:28:29,416 --> 00:28:34,127
You left Texas and spent the
last two years of high school
465
00:28:34,128 --> 00:28:36,297
at the prestigious
Phillips Academy.
466
00:28:36,298 --> 00:28:40,676
- And then onto Radcliffe.
- Yes.
467
00:28:40,677 --> 00:28:43,012
Where you would meet
the future vice president.
468
00:28:43,013 --> 00:28:46,891
Back then,
just a dashing law student.
469
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:50,184
I never dreamed he would become
vice president, of course.
470
00:28:50,185 --> 00:28:54,357
Some people think that your marriage may
be a bit more calculated than you let on.
471
00:28:54,358 --> 00:28:57,902
That perhaps he needed
your family's money.
472
00:28:57,903 --> 00:29:00,862
- No, that's just not true.
- Your father did contribute an awful lot
473
00:29:00,863 --> 00:29:04,616
- to his campaign.
- Yes, he did, because he believed in Francis.
474
00:29:04,617 --> 00:29:09,287
Would he have won that campaign had it not
been for your father's contributions?
475
00:29:09,288 --> 00:29:11,205
I don't know.
I mean, it certainly helped.
476
00:29:11,206 --> 00:29:13,625
But I like to think
that it was Francis's ideas
477
00:29:13,626 --> 00:29:17,297
and leadership that convinced
voters, not just TV commercials.
478
00:29:17,298 --> 00:29:20,841
- You've been married 27 years.
- That's right.
479
00:29:20,842 --> 00:29:24,053
You were just in school.
I mean, you married so young.
480
00:29:24,054 --> 00:29:28,223
We did, but when
you've found the one...
481
00:29:28,224 --> 00:29:31,101
Well, Francis was the one.
482
00:29:31,102 --> 00:29:36,315
- You call him Francis.
- [chuckles] Back home they call him Frank, still.
483
00:29:36,316 --> 00:29:38,401
But he likes
that I call him Francis.
484
00:29:38,402 --> 00:29:42,195
He said that it makes him
sound more sophisticated.
485
00:29:42,196 --> 00:29:47,952
- [Ashleigh] Is it hard being a politician's wife?
- It's thrilling.
486
00:29:47,953 --> 00:29:52,080
- Not without its challenges.
- Always in the background.
487
00:29:52,081 --> 00:29:55,501
Subsuming your goals
for his goals.
488
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:57,586
Well, I don't see it that way.
489
00:29:57,587 --> 00:30:04,217
We're two very independent people who
have chosen to live our lives together.
490
00:30:04,218 --> 00:30:06,262
I support him.
He supports me.
491
00:30:06,263 --> 00:30:10,516
Which, you know, goes back to
the political partnership.
492
00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:15,313
My husband happens to be a politician.
And I happen to do political work.
493
00:30:15,314 --> 00:30:19,734
But our partnership
extends far beyond that.
494
00:30:21,569 --> 00:30:25,405
Children.
Was that a sacrifice?
495
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:27,700
Because you haven't had any.
496
00:30:27,701 --> 00:30:31,327
Francis and I wanted to devote
our lives to public service.
497
00:30:31,328 --> 00:30:34,749
And we didn't feel that we could both do
that and be the parents we wanted to be.
498
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:36,542
So we made the choice.
499
00:30:36,543 --> 00:30:40,004
- We've heard that answer before.
- Sorry?
500
00:30:40,005 --> 00:30:43,675
You have given the exact same
answer in previous interviews.
501
00:30:43,676 --> 00:30:45,843
Because it's the truth.
502
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:50,639
Forgive me,
but career and timing,
503
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,433
those are often
very convenient answers.
504
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:57,063
It is true that whatever it takes for
people to get from "maybe" to "yes"
505
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,900
- never arrived for me.
- Never felt the pressure?
506
00:31:00,901 --> 00:31:03,611
No... maternal instinct?
507
00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:07,698
- No.
- And it was a choice?
508
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:10,157
It wasn't because
you couldn't have any?
509
00:31:10,158 --> 00:31:12,704
Francis and I did
what was right for us.
510
00:31:12,705 --> 00:31:16,331
Because it is unusual,
I mean, even now,
511
00:31:16,332 --> 00:31:21,879
for politicians at the executive
level not to have children.
512
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,630
Yes, it is.
513
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:27,258
[Ashleigh] In your husband's
second congressional campaign,
514
00:31:27,259 --> 00:31:30,304
there was a Republican,
a pro-family candidate,
515
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:34,516
who made some pretty
unsettling accusations.
516
00:31:34,517 --> 00:31:38,353
Well, Francis
is a Southern Democrat.
517
00:31:38,354 --> 00:31:40,981
We have thick skins.
518
00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:45,528
He suggested, in order to keep your
husband's political career on track--
519
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:49,281
Children are the center
of many people's lives.
520
00:31:49,282 --> 00:31:52,575
And I think they just want to make sure
that their representatives will fight
521
00:31:52,576 --> 00:31:57,874
for their children's dreams. And Francis
has again and again proven that he will.
522
00:31:57,875 --> 00:32:01,585
And he will continue
to do so as vice president.
523
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:03,963
He claimed that...
524
00:32:03,964 --> 00:32:07,092
...you may have been pregnant
during the campaign.
525
00:32:09,385 --> 00:32:11,596
Was there a pregnancy?
526
00:32:14,474 --> 00:32:18,727
[Ashleigh] Have you
ever been pregnant?
527
00:32:18,728 --> 00:32:21,856
- Break. Now.
- That's not gonna happen.
528
00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:27,988
Yes.
529
00:32:29,405 --> 00:32:33,994
- During the campaign?
- Before.
530
00:32:36,245 --> 00:32:40,666
- Was it a miscarriage?
- No.
531
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:42,918
Did you...
532
00:32:42,919 --> 00:32:45,838
Did you terminate
the pregnancy?
533
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:49,215
If I said yes,
534
00:32:49,216 --> 00:32:54,095
my husband's political career
would be in jeopardy.
535
00:32:54,096 --> 00:32:59,309
My faith would be questioned. Likely,
my life would be threatened.
536
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:04,691
But I won't feel ashamed. Yes, I was pregnant.
And, yes, I had an abortion.
537
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:12,364
- Can you excuse me for one moment?
- Of course.
538
00:33:12,365 --> 00:33:16,786
[Ashleigh] We'll have more of our live
interview with Claire Underwood in a moment.
539
00:33:23,084 --> 00:33:25,252
That took a lot of guts.
540
00:33:28,548 --> 00:33:31,175
Yes, it did.
541
00:33:31,176 --> 00:33:34,844
No. It'll look like I am ashamed.
I'm not. And I won't.
542
00:33:34,845 --> 00:33:36,595
Nothing you can say
will make this any better.
543
00:33:36,596 --> 00:33:38,848
- I'd rather deal with--
- I'm not going to run from this.
544
00:33:38,849 --> 00:33:41,308
She's going to ask why
you had the abortion.
545
00:33:41,309 --> 00:33:43,061
I haven't had one.
I've had three.
546
00:33:43,062 --> 00:33:45,272
Three? No, you need
to stick to one.
547
00:33:45,273 --> 00:33:48,400
- OK. Fine.
- Tell me what you'll say.
548
00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:50,568
Well, I can't
use the real reason.
549
00:33:50,569 --> 00:33:52,780
The first two, I was a
teenager and I was reckless.
550
00:33:52,781 --> 00:33:54,865
What about the third?
551
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:57,658
Well, the article that
she showed, it's right.
552
00:33:57,659 --> 00:34:00,244
I was on the pill, it didn't work.
We talked about having the baby,
553
00:34:00,245 --> 00:34:02,663
- and then we decided against it.
- Why?
554
00:34:02,664 --> 00:34:05,626
- Because we were focused on the campaign.
- How many weeks in?
555
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:10,589
- Sixteen.
- You can't say any of this.
556
00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:12,256
Go upstairs.
I'll deal with Ashleigh.
557
00:34:12,257 --> 00:34:15,134
If we're going to continue,
we've got about 20 seconds.
558
00:34:15,135 --> 00:34:17,302
- Connor, I--
- Please trust me.
559
00:34:17,303 --> 00:34:19,057
You'll be making a big mistake.
560
00:34:26,439 --> 00:34:29,984
[Ashleigh] Are you willing
to discuss the circumstances--
561
00:34:29,985 --> 00:34:33,485
I became pregnant
as a result of a sexual assault.
562
00:34:33,486 --> 00:34:37,490
- Are you saying that you... you were...
- Raped.
563
00:34:41,121 --> 00:34:43,664
You've never spoken publicly
about this before.
564
00:34:43,665 --> 00:34:45,624
No one ever asked.
565
00:34:45,625 --> 00:34:48,752
[Ashleigh] Can you
tell us what happened?
566
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:52,214
[Claire] It was college.
A classmate.
567
00:34:52,215 --> 00:34:55,008
We were dating
and it happened on a...
568
00:34:55,009 --> 00:34:58,929
We had a fight,
and he forced himself on me.
569
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:02,183
Did you tell anybody about it,
I mean, did he...?
570
00:35:02,184 --> 00:35:04,517
- Was he charged?
- No.
571
00:35:04,518 --> 00:35:07,814
Because at the time I felt that I was
somehow at fault. I knew I wasn't.
572
00:35:07,815 --> 00:35:10,732
But I just didn't
want to be stared at.
573
00:35:10,733 --> 00:35:14,195
I didn't want to be known
as the girl who got raped.
574
00:35:14,196 --> 00:35:19,033
And when I became pregnant, I
wasn't gonna drop out of school.
575
00:35:20,576 --> 00:35:23,662
I wasn't going to
let this man ruin my life.
576
00:35:23,663 --> 00:35:27,540
So I made a choice.
I ended it.
577
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:29,750
But if you never told
anybody about it,
578
00:35:29,751 --> 00:35:32,130
the assailant could
still be out there.
579
00:35:32,131 --> 00:35:35,090
Can you tell us
anything about him?
580
00:35:35,091 --> 00:35:39,553
I saw him for the first time in almost
30 years just a few months ago.
581
00:35:39,554 --> 00:35:42,014
[Ashleigh] Where?
582
00:35:42,015 --> 00:35:47,186
[Claire] At a commissioning ceremony
that Francis and I attended.
583
00:35:47,187 --> 00:35:50,063
- Did you speak to him?
- Briefly.
584
00:35:50,064 --> 00:35:54,359
- Francis pinned stars on him.
- He was being commissioned?
585
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,778
[sighs]
586
00:35:56,779 --> 00:35:58,906
General Dalton McGinnis.
587
00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:04,452
And for the record, Francis has
always known about the assault,
588
00:36:04,453 --> 00:36:06,080
he just didn't know the name.
589
00:36:06,081 --> 00:36:11,584
And he's been nothing
but supportive all these years.
590
00:36:11,585 --> 00:36:15,755
We're gonna have
to reach out to the general...
591
00:36:15,756 --> 00:36:17,758
...for a response
to what you just said.
592
00:36:19,927 --> 00:36:22,347
Would you mind
if we took a quick break?
593
00:36:22,348 --> 00:36:24,514
[Ashleigh] Absolutely.
594
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:29,312
We'll be right back with Mrs. Claire Underwood.
Take all the time you need.
595
00:36:35,318 --> 00:36:37,568
[man] The lab tests
all came back negative, sir.
596
00:36:37,569 --> 00:36:39,904
- What was it?
- Talcum powder laced with flour.
597
00:36:39,905 --> 00:36:42,698
It was pesticide from the wheat
that gave us the false positive.
598
00:36:42,699 --> 00:36:44,575
- So are we free to go?
- Yes, sir.
599
00:36:44,576 --> 00:36:46,869
- Nancy! Tell them I'm on my way down.
- [Nancy] I already did.
600
00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:49,372
- [Donald] Mind if I use your phone?
- Of course.
601
00:36:49,373 --> 00:36:54,086
And Donald, I'm gonna get you that research
funding, no matter how the vote goes.
602
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,422
It's your call, because I'm
still voting against it.
603
00:36:56,423 --> 00:37:00,717
- I understand.
- You have a brave wife, Frank.
604
00:37:00,718 --> 00:37:02,303
So do you, Donald.
605
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:09,184
- [Jackie] Frank!
- How did you do?
606
00:37:09,185 --> 00:37:11,143
We're down four.
How about Blythe?
607
00:37:11,144 --> 00:37:12,937
- He won't budge.
- What did you offer him?
608
00:37:12,938 --> 00:37:14,897
Alzheimer's research.
He was insulted.
609
00:37:14,898 --> 00:37:17,233
- The vote's in 45 minutes.
- I need to get to Claire.
610
00:37:17,234 --> 00:37:19,735
- Who should I call from the car?
- We have exhausted our options.
611
00:37:19,736 --> 00:37:21,570
It's Blythe's people
or it won't pass.
612
00:37:21,571 --> 00:37:24,448
- They're too loyal to him.
- Hey, go. I'll figure it out.
613
00:37:24,449 --> 00:37:28,246
- I can stay if you need me.
- No, get to your wife. I know where to find you.
614
00:37:30,456 --> 00:37:33,084
Nancy! I need every
ream of paper you have!
615
00:37:33,085 --> 00:37:35,461
And get me dollies!
616
00:37:50,517 --> 00:37:53,687
Almost done.
Twenty more minutes.
617
00:37:55,022 --> 00:37:57,232
I hate lying.
618
00:37:57,233 --> 00:37:58,942
- Did he do it?
- Yes.
619
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:03,280
- Then don't feel bad.
- What if he denies it?
620
00:38:03,281 --> 00:38:06,158
Then we'll cross that bridge.
621
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:08,284
- [Emma] Connor?
- Give us one more minute.
622
00:38:08,285 --> 00:38:10,494
We have a young woman
on the phone, a private.
623
00:38:10,495 --> 00:38:14,706
She says she was also assaulted
by the general. Two years ago.
624
00:38:14,707 --> 00:38:17,376
She wants to share her story,
but she won't give her name.
625
00:38:17,377 --> 00:38:20,089
We can't put her on
if she's anonymous.
626
00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:25,802
- You want me to convince her?
- She's frightened.
627
00:38:25,803 --> 00:38:28,097
Is she still on the phone?
628
00:38:29,765 --> 00:38:32,185
[woman on phone]
I've never told anyone.
629
00:38:32,186 --> 00:38:37,772
It took me almost half my life
before I could say anything.
630
00:38:37,773 --> 00:38:40,942
But you can say something now.
631
00:38:40,943 --> 00:38:42,944
I don't know.
632
00:38:42,945 --> 00:38:46,240
Just think of how many
others there must have been.
633
00:38:46,241 --> 00:38:48,074
But you want me to talk.
634
00:38:48,075 --> 00:38:51,160
Well, would you have called
if you didn't want to?
635
00:38:51,161 --> 00:38:53,745
I didn't think
I'd have to use my name.
636
00:38:53,746 --> 00:38:57,418
Listen, I understand you're
afraid of the consequence.
637
00:38:57,419 --> 00:39:00,003
I'm a private. He's a general.
638
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:03,466
And my husband is the vice
president of the United States.
639
00:39:03,467 --> 00:39:07,678
We will protect you.
I promise you that.
640
00:39:10,556 --> 00:39:12,599
What's your name?
641
00:39:15,395 --> 00:39:18,231
Private Megan Hennessey.
642
00:39:23,777 --> 00:39:28,281
- [Donald] What is this?
- The names of every person in America
643
00:39:28,282 --> 00:39:30,659
who will lose home care
when the freeze sets in.
644
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:33,745
Who will lose half
their welfare benefits.
645
00:39:33,746 --> 00:39:35,663
Who will go on furlough.
646
00:39:35,664 --> 00:39:38,751
Who will lose their student
loans, transportation services,
647
00:39:38,752 --> 00:39:42,003
post-combat counseling.
Shall I go on?
648
00:39:42,004 --> 00:39:44,006
This is about the big picture,
Jacqueline.
649
00:39:44,007 --> 00:39:47,510
This picture looks
pretty big to me.
650
00:39:49,762 --> 00:39:52,473
I can't vote for the package.
651
00:39:54,892 --> 00:39:56,518
Then don't.
652
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:58,604
Just get four
of your people to do it.
653
00:39:58,605 --> 00:40:02,607
And then, work with me
after we avoid the freeze.
654
00:40:02,608 --> 00:40:05,902
I'm not Frank Underwood.
655
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:11,199
[Megan on phone] At least two
other girls that same year.
656
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,953
If that was true for all
the years he's served...
657
00:40:14,954 --> 00:40:18,998
- It's just staggering.
- And I've felt so helpless.
658
00:40:18,999 --> 00:40:24,087
And he keeps rising in the
ranks. The system protects him.
659
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:28,049
[Ashleigh] Why do you think
no one has ever reported him?
660
00:40:28,050 --> 00:40:29,968
Do you want to join her?
661
00:40:29,969 --> 00:40:31,760
- [Megan] We know it won't do anything.
- No.
662
00:40:31,761 --> 00:40:33,429
[Megan] Chain of command.
663
00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:35,264
It's inexcusable
that you're willing
664
00:40:35,265 --> 00:40:37,682
to put your life on the line
to defend our freedom,
665
00:40:37,683 --> 00:40:40,396
and yet you don't feel the
freedom to come forward.
666
00:40:40,397 --> 00:40:45,317
[Megan] I love my country, and
I love serving in the Marines.
667
00:40:45,318 --> 00:40:47,402
But not like this.
668
00:40:47,403 --> 00:40:50,030
[Ashleigh] Private Hennessey,
thank you for your courage
669
00:40:50,031 --> 00:40:52,324
in joining us tonight.
670
00:40:52,325 --> 00:40:55,659
[Megan] It was Mrs. Underwood
who gave me the courage.
671
00:40:55,660 --> 00:40:59,121
[Ashleigh] Mrs. Underwood,
thank you for your honesty.
672
00:40:59,122 --> 00:41:00,956
Sir, your wife is on the phone.
673
00:41:00,957 --> 00:41:03,459
[Ashleigh] You've given us
a great deal to think about.
674
00:41:03,460 --> 00:41:05,210
[Claire] Thank you, Ashleigh.
675
00:41:05,211 --> 00:41:08,506
And that concludes our live
one-on-one exclusive interview
676
00:41:08,507 --> 00:41:12,384
with Claire Underwood. You can watch
the entire interview on our website.
677
00:41:12,385 --> 00:41:14,802
And as always, we invite you
to give us your thoughts
678
00:41:14,803 --> 00:41:17,055
and your comments
on Facebook and on Twitter.
679
00:41:17,056 --> 00:41:20,102
But for now, thanks for watching
and good night.
680
00:41:20,103 --> 00:41:22,480
[man] And we're out.
681
00:41:25,065 --> 00:41:29,903
This is going to make waves
like you never imagined.
682
00:41:31,364 --> 00:41:33,115
Thank you.
683
00:42:01,142 --> 00:42:05,813
- Where's Carter?
- You'll be reporting to me now.
684
00:42:05,814 --> 00:42:09,901
- And who are you?
- Carter's boss.
685
00:42:09,902 --> 00:42:13,406
You're doing good work, Gavin. But
you can't be assaulting the target.
686
00:42:13,407 --> 00:42:15,823
That could compromise us.
687
00:42:15,824 --> 00:42:18,158
I don't even know why you're going
after this guy. He's small-time.
688
00:42:18,159 --> 00:42:21,203
- That's not your concern.
- He couldn't write a line of code to save his life.
689
00:42:21,204 --> 00:42:23,997
He intends to commit an act
of cyberterrorism.
690
00:42:23,998 --> 00:42:27,044
Well, that's intention, not capability.
He's not a real threat.
691
00:42:27,045 --> 00:42:30,380
Maybe Carter
talked things out with you.
692
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:31,716
I won't.
693
00:42:36,721 --> 00:42:39,222
- How much longer?
- Until what?
694
00:42:39,223 --> 00:42:42,934
- Until I can stop.
- You prefer prison?
695
00:42:42,935 --> 00:42:46,604
I've given you eight child
pornographers, three botnet masters.
696
00:42:46,605 --> 00:42:48,608
But you still haven't
given us AVunit.
697
00:42:48,609 --> 00:42:51,984
I told Carter I don't
know where he is.
698
00:42:51,985 --> 00:42:55,739
- Yes, you do.
- I don't. Nobody does.
699
00:42:55,740 --> 00:42:58,785
Then what about your
friends in Dec Sec?
700
00:43:04,123 --> 00:43:06,999
I'm not giving you my friends.
701
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,544
Then you can keep doing this.
702
00:43:09,545 --> 00:43:11,714
You're a productive asset,
Gavin.
703
00:43:11,715 --> 00:43:15,007
But the moment you stop
being productive,
704
00:43:15,008 --> 00:43:16,843
no lawyer can help you.
705
00:43:39,283 --> 00:43:42,536
I wish we had the
real thing right now.
706
00:43:57,551 --> 00:44:01,514
- Always prepared.
- Francis.
707
00:44:12,733 --> 00:44:17,654
- I've missed this.
- So have I.
708
00:44:17,655 --> 00:44:19,990
Shouldn't you be on the phone
getting your accolades?
709
00:44:19,991 --> 00:44:22,660
They can wait till tomorrow.
710
00:44:26,205 --> 00:44:28,414
Sing me something.
711
00:44:28,415 --> 00:44:31,251
- What do you want to hear?
- Anything.
712
00:44:35,840 --> 00:45:22,302
[Frank singing]
713
00:45:29,132 --> 00:45:35,534
