00:00:00,074 --> 00:00:01,784
[door opens]

00:00:29,678 --> 00:00:31,931
[soft groans]
3
00:00:38,396 --> 00:00:41,023
[whirring]
4
00:01:22,023 --> 00:01:24,776
[Tusk over phone] We've got an energy crisis, Frank.
And what the White House needs--
5
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:27,362
The president chose
to remain tough on China.
6
00:01:27,487 --> 00:01:29,989
- No, you forced him to.
- You chose Feng.
7
00:01:30,114 --> 00:01:32,367
You're the one who
put me in a room with him.
8
00:01:32,492 --> 00:01:34,285
The cook can't blame
his ingredients
9
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:35,953
if he doesn't like
how they taste together.
10
00:01:36,078 --> 00:01:38,247
If samarium prices don't reduce,
11
00:01:38,373 --> 00:01:41,459
the market will have no choice
but to compensate.
12
00:01:41,584 --> 00:01:45,754
That's bad for everyone
who owns an air conditioner.
13
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,632
You should speak to the
president himself.
14
00:01:47,756 --> 00:01:53,179
Well, the president hasn't placed
much value on my advice lately.
15
00:01:53,304 --> 00:01:54,889
I'm in the same boat
as you, Raymond.
16
00:01:55,014 --> 00:01:57,475
Yeah, difference being
you've got an office
17
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,768
three doors down from the Oval.
18
00:01:59,894 --> 00:02:03,147
Let's work together,
for Christ sakes.
19
00:02:03,272 --> 00:02:05,858
I'm willing to put Spotsylvania
behind us if you are.
20
00:02:05,983 --> 00:02:09,195
- I want nothing more.
- Then you'll talk to him?
21
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,698
- Look, I'm late for a meeting, Raymond.
- Yes or no, Frank?
22
00:02:11,822 --> 00:02:14,909
- I can't guarantee he'll listen.
- That's not a yes.
23
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:16,952
But it's better than a no.
24
00:02:17,078 --> 00:02:19,330
Any pugilist worth his salt knows
when someone's on the ropes,
25
00:02:19,455 --> 00:02:24,711
that's when you throw a combination to
the gut and a left hook to the jaw.
26
00:03:49,290 --> 00:03:52,995
Sync and corrections by n17t01
www.addic7ed.com
27
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:03,851
Samarium is the last thing
they'll let go of.
28
00:04:03,976 --> 00:04:07,855
As long as our energy prices
rise, they have the leverage.
29
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:10,566
Why don't we offer nothing?
Move toward attrition?
30
00:04:10,692 --> 00:04:12,819
If China doesn't show
at the refunding auction,
31
00:04:12,943 --> 00:04:15,321
- long-term interest rates will spike.
- [Frank] And in a week,
32
00:04:15,446 --> 00:04:18,783
yields on our ten-year notes will
pierce the seven percent threshold.
33
00:04:18,907 --> 00:04:23,454
That could happen. But if we
go soft now, that will happen.
34
00:04:23,579 --> 00:04:25,748
- You mean go on the offensive.
- We should at least consider it.
35
00:04:25,873 --> 00:04:28,292
The Chinese don't like carrots?
Let's see how they like the stick.
36
00:04:28,417 --> 00:04:29,877
What might that look like?
37
00:04:30,002 --> 00:04:32,046
We could raise inspection
rates on foodstuffs.
38
00:04:32,171 --> 00:04:34,799
- Hold them in ports till they rot.
- How much of a raise?
39
00:04:34,923 --> 00:04:36,592
[woman] Twenty percent
if we wanna draw blood.
40
00:04:36,718 --> 00:04:39,387
Bury the move with increased
spot checks all the way around.
41
00:04:39,512 --> 00:04:41,723
These sort of tactics don't
solve the immediate problem.
42
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:43,599
People are paying triple
the standard rate for electric.
43
00:04:43,726 --> 00:04:46,018
We'll hit a fivefold increase
by August.
44
00:04:46,143 --> 00:04:48,771
What if you, Mr. President,
by executive order,
45
00:04:48,896 --> 00:04:51,273
purchase samarium
through a third party?
46
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:54,652
Cut the Chinese out, force them to
either raise their prices worldwide
47
00:04:54,777 --> 00:04:56,739
or lower them
to keep direct flow with us.
48
00:04:56,863 --> 00:05:00,408
We stockpile samarium
for defense purposes, of course,
49
00:05:00,533 --> 00:05:03,619
and quietly sell what we don't need
to our friends in nuclear energy.
50
00:05:03,746 --> 00:05:06,873
- At a discount.
- [woman] A subsidy for nuclear power?
51
00:05:06,997 --> 00:05:09,333
The richest of the rich?
How's that gonna play?
52
00:05:09,457 --> 00:05:13,295
Dealing with a national crisis. We can't
get sidetracked with public opinion.
53
00:05:13,421 --> 00:05:15,423
[woman] It would show China
we're willing to wait this out.
54
00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:17,341
Do we have the resources?
55
00:05:17,465 --> 00:05:20,177
[man] I'd have to run the
numbers, anticipate fluctuations,
56
00:05:20,302 --> 00:05:23,264
- consider different models--
- Your best guess.
57
00:05:23,389 --> 00:05:26,601
We do, for a moderate stockpile.
58
00:05:29,144 --> 00:05:31,564
All right. Draw up a request
from the Defense Department.
59
00:05:31,689 --> 00:05:34,650
- Yes, sir.
- Linda, draft the executive order.
60
00:05:34,776 --> 00:05:37,904
And, Cathy, make sure we have a third-party
conduit to purchase the samarium.
61
00:05:38,028 --> 00:05:39,071
[Cathy] We'll go through India.
62
00:05:39,196 --> 00:05:40,823
That won't fly well
with Pakistan.
63
00:05:40,947 --> 00:05:42,949
[Cathy] I'll alert them
in advance.
64
00:05:43,075 --> 00:05:45,035
As long as they're in the loop,
we'll be all right.
65
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,332
- Not that we owe them any favors.
- All right, let's get to work.
66
00:05:50,458 --> 00:05:52,794
[man] Come on, Betsy. Three
additional counts under Section E?
67
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:56,589
Three is low. It reflects a narrow
interpretation of criminal intent.
68
00:05:56,714 --> 00:05:59,174
- Your client broke into a data center.
- And what's the offer?
69
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:01,260
- I'm not doing a plea.
- Will you let me handle this?
70
00:06:01,385 --> 00:06:03,805
They don't want a trial.
The questions I'll be raising,
71
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:05,598
loud and clear, in open court...
72
00:06:05,723 --> 00:06:07,182
- [man] Lucas, please.
- We have our own questions, Mr. Goodwin.
73
00:06:07,308 --> 00:06:09,143
For example, what were
you doing with these?
74
00:06:09,268 --> 00:06:12,647
- I didn't take these.
- They were in your apartment.
75
00:06:12,772 --> 00:06:14,148
[Lucas] Underwood took them.
76
00:06:14,273 --> 00:06:16,109
Do you really expect a jury
to believe that?
77
00:06:16,233 --> 00:06:17,984
- He did. They were having an affair.
- Are they gonna see them
78
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:20,529
for what they are? Proof of
your obsession with Ms. Barnes
79
00:06:20,655 --> 00:06:23,866
and the ludicrous conspiracy you
have concocted to explain her death.
80
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:25,618
[man] Tell us
what you're offering.
81
00:06:25,743 --> 00:06:27,411
[woman] Client pleads to one
count under Section E
82
00:06:27,536 --> 00:06:28,995
for breaking into a data center.
One count for fraud
83
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,122
for stealing a password
from the Herald.
84
00:06:31,248 --> 00:06:33,793
Ten years under Section E, ten years
for fraud, served concurrently.
85
00:06:33,918 --> 00:06:36,963
Eligible for parole in seven.
86
00:06:38,673 --> 00:06:41,550
I'd like to speak
to my client alone.
87
00:06:41,676 --> 00:06:44,553
Cameras and recording equipment
off, please.
88
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,183
I'll introduce the president.
Then he'll introduce you.
89
00:06:49,308 --> 00:06:51,602
If he's there, we can't
mention the military.
90
00:06:51,727 --> 00:06:55,105
- Just the endemic problem nationwide.
- Of course. I understand.
91
00:06:55,230 --> 00:06:57,442
Good. So we should go
through these speeches
92
00:06:57,566 --> 00:06:59,527
- and make sure that there's nothing--
- [door opens]
93
00:06:59,652 --> 00:07:03,322
- Hi, Mrs. Underwood.
- Hello, Christina.
94
00:07:03,448 --> 00:07:05,700
- Mrs. Walker, you asked for me?
- We need to confirm
95
00:07:05,825 --> 00:07:07,660
whether the president's
gonna make it to New Orleans.
96
00:07:07,785 --> 00:07:09,328
- [Christina] This Friday, correct?
- [Mrs. Walker] Yes.
97
00:07:09,454 --> 00:07:10,997
But I know he had a cabinet
meeting this morning,
98
00:07:11,163 --> 00:07:12,331
so I imagine...
99
00:07:12,455 --> 00:07:14,208
- I'll talk to Linda right away.
- Thanks.
100
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:15,960
[door closes]
101
00:07:16,084 --> 00:07:18,671
I know you want Garrett there,
but with this energy crisis--
102
00:07:18,796 --> 00:07:23,676
- No. It's not that.
- What?
103
00:07:23,801 --> 00:07:26,595
- I shouldn't say anything.
- Well, now you have to tell me.
104
00:07:28,848 --> 00:07:33,227
I've just never been
very fond of her. Christina.
105
00:07:33,352 --> 00:07:35,772
- Why not?
- Peter Russo.
106
00:07:35,897 --> 00:07:39,734
I just have a thing about women
who sleep with their bosses.
107
00:07:39,859 --> 00:07:43,445
Anyway, I'm sure whatever
they had was genuine.
108
00:07:43,571 --> 00:07:45,656
It's none of my business, 'cause
if she's doing a good job,
109
00:07:45,782 --> 00:07:48,785
- that's all that matters, right?
- Garrett seems to think she is.
110
00:07:48,910 --> 00:07:51,662
Then I should just keep
my feelings to myself.
111
00:07:53,288 --> 00:07:55,499
So, if the president
is not able to be there,
112
00:07:55,624 --> 00:07:59,045
that could be a silver lining for us. We
won't have to hold back with the military.
113
00:07:59,169 --> 00:08:03,049
[man] Phone taps,
video surveillance,
114
00:08:03,173 --> 00:08:06,844
premeditation, sustained intent.
They've got you cold.
115
00:08:06,969 --> 00:08:09,013
If I plead out, that's it.
No one hears the truth.
116
00:08:09,137 --> 00:08:11,306
You don't plead,
no one will hear you, period.
117
00:08:11,432 --> 00:08:13,017
Not until you're
in your seventies.
118
00:08:13,141 --> 00:08:14,518
Have you talked
to Hammerschmidt yet?
119
00:08:14,643 --> 00:08:16,228
You're in no position
to make demands.
120
00:08:16,353 --> 00:08:19,982
- It's not up to you.
- All you'll do is piss them off.
121
00:08:20,942 --> 00:08:23,360
Look...
122
00:08:23,485 --> 00:08:27,448
We've got a good deal here. A great
deal, considering what you did.
123
00:08:27,573 --> 00:08:30,118
You should take it
before they change their mind.
124
00:08:30,242 --> 00:08:34,997
Tom Hammerschmidt. I talk to him
or we're going to trial.
125
00:08:35,163 --> 00:08:36,624
[man] Raise your arms, please.
126
00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:38,960
[electronic crackling]
127
00:08:40,168 --> 00:08:42,128
[electronic squealing]
128
00:08:42,254 --> 00:08:43,547
[squealing]
129
00:08:43,672 --> 00:08:45,967
- You have something here?
- My neck chain.
130
00:08:46,092 --> 00:08:49,887
- May I see it?
- Really? I gotta take off my tie.
131
00:08:50,012 --> 00:08:52,640
I need to see it, sir.
132
00:08:58,062 --> 00:09:02,066
- You're a good Christian, Remy.
- [chuckles] My mother's.
133
00:09:02,190 --> 00:09:05,277
- She was the good Christian.
- Well, then you're just the good son.
134
00:09:05,402 --> 00:09:07,780
- Thank you, sir.
- Hot out there, huh?
135
00:09:07,905 --> 00:09:09,740
Ninety-six according to my car.
136
00:09:09,865 --> 00:09:11,492
We had heat like that
back in Gaffney,
137
00:09:11,617 --> 00:09:13,410
but we didn't know
what air conditioning was,
138
00:09:13,535 --> 00:09:16,956
so we just accepted as fact that
summer was meant to be miserable.
139
00:09:17,081 --> 00:09:19,207
- Neat or with water?
- Just the water.
140
00:09:19,333 --> 00:09:22,670
You can hold the bourbon.
We need to find a solution
141
00:09:22,795 --> 00:09:24,755
so that this one isn't miserable
for 300 million people.
142
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,882
I already have
found a solution.
143
00:09:27,008 --> 00:09:28,884
Oh, please, Frank.
A samarium subsidy?
144
00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:32,346
- Is that your skepticism or Raymond's?
- Mine, anticipating his.
145
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:36,183
So you haven't
spoken to him yet.
146
00:09:36,308 --> 00:09:38,644
I want to offer him
something he can agree to.
147
00:09:38,770 --> 00:09:41,897
- Well, he doesn't have much of a choice.
- Why are you cornering him?
148
00:09:42,023 --> 00:09:44,608
I'm cutting the rate by half.
I'd call that liberating him.
149
00:09:44,733 --> 00:09:46,193
You know that's not
how he'll see it.
150
00:09:46,318 --> 00:09:47,653
This trade war
is preventing the refinery
151
00:09:47,779 --> 00:09:49,488
from being approved in Beijing.
152
00:09:49,613 --> 00:09:52,616
His co-venture with Feng is not
our highest priority right now.
153
00:09:52,741 --> 00:09:54,869
A rare earth refinery solves
this crisis permanently.
154
00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:56,829
Three years from now.
Not this summer.
155
00:09:56,954 --> 00:09:59,289
It's not just that. With the
subsidy, he'll break even, at best.
156
00:09:59,414 --> 00:10:01,667
There's no point in doing business
to hover between red and black.
157
00:10:01,791 --> 00:10:05,337
Raymond's profits are an even lower
priority to me than his co-venture.
158
00:10:08,674 --> 00:10:11,010
Tell me what
you're up to, Frank.
159
00:10:11,135 --> 00:10:13,303
There's nothing to gain
by locking horns with Tusk.
160
00:10:13,428 --> 00:10:16,182
Ask your client. It's Tusk
who's locking the horns.
161
00:10:16,306 --> 00:10:21,104
- He's not a man who likes conflict.
- Neither am I.
162
00:10:23,106 --> 00:10:26,567
Then make the ask. Cause I know
you don't care about the subsidy.
163
00:10:26,692 --> 00:10:28,194
This is about something bigger.
164
00:10:28,318 --> 00:10:30,445
I'm a good Christian, Remy,
like your mother.
165
00:10:30,571 --> 00:10:33,281
I would tell you the truth
if I wanted more.
166
00:10:33,407 --> 00:10:35,118
- You trying to send a message?
- Perhaps.
167
00:10:35,242 --> 00:10:38,579
- Which is?
- That stubbornness is far more costly
168
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:42,917
- than obedience.
- Thanks for the water.
169
00:10:45,377 --> 00:10:49,631
- You're on the wrong side, Remy.
- Yeah, well, one of us sure is.
170
00:10:49,757 --> 00:10:51,759
And when the bumblebee
flew home,
171
00:10:51,884 --> 00:10:54,803
all his friends were waiting
with buckets of honey, right?
172
00:10:54,929 --> 00:11:00,184
And he's got his worm friend, and his
mouse friend, and his spider friend,
173
00:11:00,308 --> 00:11:03,395
and his snail friend,
and they all had tons of honey.
174
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,939
- I like his feet.
- [Rachel] And he looks happier now, right?
175
00:11:05,064 --> 00:11:07,066
- [children] Yeah!
- [Rachel] Yeah?
176
00:11:07,191 --> 00:11:11,653
- They're funny, right?
- So they all buzzed with happiness,
177
00:11:11,779 --> 00:11:15,824
because life is sweet when
you spend it with your friends.
178
00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:19,954
Right? Can you all buzz your
wings? Buzz your little wings.
179
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:21,747
- Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
- [children buzzing]
180
00:11:21,872 --> 00:11:24,332
[boy] I think it would make
a fluttering noise, like...
181
00:11:24,457 --> 00:11:25,626
[making fluttering noise]
182
00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:28,587
- I don't know.
- Your flutters.
183
00:11:39,014 --> 00:11:41,225
It's too hot out here for you
to be doing this, Francis.
184
00:11:41,349 --> 00:11:43,102
I'm keeping hydrated.
185
00:11:45,229 --> 00:11:49,024
- That even regulation?
- It's only half,
186
00:11:49,150 --> 00:11:54,696
but I don't want the press to see
me practicing on the street.
187
00:11:54,822 --> 00:11:58,575
You remember when you threw out
that first pitch in Greenville?
188
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:00,828
I was wondering how long it
was gonna take to bring that up.
189
00:12:00,953 --> 00:12:03,956
That wasn't even
on national television.
190
00:12:04,081 --> 00:12:07,168
- Good luck.
- [Frank] Thank you.
191
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,841
- What happened in Greenville?
- Oh, the Greenville Drive.
192
00:12:13,966 --> 00:12:16,510
Single A team for the Red Sox.
193
00:12:16,635 --> 00:12:19,345
It was a home game,
I get on the mound...
194
00:12:19,471 --> 00:12:21,932
- You threw from the mound?
- Well, I wanted to throw a real pitch.
195
00:12:22,057 --> 00:12:27,021
- Didn't make it.
- Not even close.
196
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:29,315
Halfway?
197
00:12:31,066 --> 00:12:33,527
Ball slipped out of my hand
just before I released it.
198
00:12:33,652 --> 00:12:35,529
Went straight up in the air
and hit me on top of the head.
199
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:39,158
The whole stadium
burst a gut laughing.
200
00:12:39,283 --> 00:12:43,787
- Comic relief pitcher.
- Oh, that's very clever, Meechum.
201
00:12:43,912 --> 00:12:45,247
[shatters]
202
00:12:47,373 --> 00:12:51,503
- [whispers] Don't tell Claire.
- [Claire] I heard that.
203
00:12:51,628 --> 00:12:54,882
- You're really good with them.
- Nah. [laughing]
204
00:12:55,007 --> 00:12:57,176
Did you see Robbie,
when they were finger-painting?
205
00:12:57,301 --> 00:12:59,928
He pulled down his pants and
started painting himself blue.
206
00:13:00,054 --> 00:13:02,014
- No!
- Yeah. I hope I got it all off.
207
00:13:02,138 --> 00:13:03,891
I'm sure Alex and Daria
don't care.
208
00:13:04,016 --> 00:13:05,559
They let him run around
naked all the time.
209
00:13:05,684 --> 00:13:08,270
Yeah, but probably not
with his Smurf ass.
210
00:13:08,394 --> 00:13:10,022
Probably not.
211
00:13:10,147 --> 00:13:12,274
What do we want to do
for dinner tonight?
212
00:13:12,398 --> 00:13:14,609
I've got some leftover chicken
or we could order pizza.
213
00:13:14,735 --> 00:13:17,029
- Pizza. No dishes.
- Yeah.
214
00:13:17,154 --> 00:13:18,322
[engine starts]
215
00:13:22,076 --> 00:13:27,206
I'm really sorry, I totally forgot I've
got a friend picking me up tonight.
216
00:13:27,331 --> 00:13:28,790
- I completely blanked.
- That's fine.
217
00:13:28,916 --> 00:13:31,877
- I'm really sorry.
- Don't sweat it.
218
00:13:32,002 --> 00:13:37,341
- Is it your boyfriend?
- No, no... just an old friend.
219
00:13:37,465 --> 00:13:42,679
- Can I meet him?
- Um... He's... kinda shy. I don't...
220
00:13:42,804 --> 00:13:45,391
- ...know if he'd be up for...
- Totally cool. Don't worry about it.
221
00:13:45,515 --> 00:13:50,271
- We'll just do dinner another night.
- All right.
222
00:13:50,396 --> 00:13:53,232
- I'll see you tomorrow?
- Yeah. You know where I'll be.
223
00:13:53,357 --> 00:13:55,567
- Yeah.
- OK.
224
00:14:01,031 --> 00:14:04,576
- How long?
- Couple of months.
225
00:14:04,701 --> 00:14:07,829
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I can't go to church?
226
00:14:07,955 --> 00:14:10,790
Anywhere you interact with other
people opens us up to risk.
227
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:12,792
I'm just supposed to slave away
at the fucking call center
228
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:15,337
- and then lock myself in the apartment.
- Don't get dramatic.
229
00:14:15,462 --> 00:14:19,674
I like the Fellowship, OK? There's
nothing to worry about there.
230
00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:23,595
All it takes is one person's
cousin to visit from Lynchburg.
231
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,640
Someone you went to school with, or some
client that you spent the night with.
232
00:14:26,765 --> 00:14:28,850
- Those guys would never end up here.
- You don't know that.
233
00:14:28,976 --> 00:14:32,854
- Yeah, I do.
- You ended up here, didn't you?
234
00:14:35,899 --> 00:14:38,152
- [mutters]
- What?
235
00:14:38,277 --> 00:14:41,322
- I can't live like this.
- Yes, you can.
236
00:14:41,447 --> 00:14:44,325
You're a strong girl.
237
00:14:50,705 --> 00:14:54,001
[man] That's it?
That's everything?
238
00:14:54,125 --> 00:14:55,543
I know, you've heard it before.
239
00:14:55,669 --> 00:14:59,130
As a friend, Lucas,
not as a reporter.
240
00:15:03,469 --> 00:15:06,096
Now I dig.
241
00:15:06,221 --> 00:15:09,599
I make the phone calls.
I do the legwork.
242
00:15:11,018 --> 00:15:12,686
They treating you OK?
243
00:15:12,811 --> 00:15:14,771
- It's fine.
- That's not what I asked.
244
00:15:14,896 --> 00:15:19,067
They're pushing
the plea deal pretty hard.
245
00:15:19,193 --> 00:15:20,610
How seriously are you
considering it?
246
00:15:20,735 --> 00:15:23,197
I want to see how this
article impacts things.
247
00:15:23,322 --> 00:15:26,908
- What does your lawyer say?
- He thinks that's a bad idea,
248
00:15:27,034 --> 00:15:29,077
that I should take the plea.
249
00:15:29,203 --> 00:15:32,622
- Maybe you should listen to him.
- No. I want the article.
250
00:15:32,747 --> 00:15:35,959
- That I'm certain of.
- All right.
251
00:15:36,084 --> 00:15:41,340
- I better get to it then.
- Thank you.
252
00:15:41,464 --> 00:15:45,219
You need to know, I'm gonna treat
this the way I would any other story.
253
00:15:45,344 --> 00:15:48,972
Whatever the facts bear.
You might not like what I write.
254
00:15:49,097 --> 00:15:52,142
- I get that.
- I'll let you read it first.
255
00:15:52,267 --> 00:15:54,311
- Then you can decide.
- That's all I'm asking.
256
00:15:54,436 --> 00:15:57,564
Hang in there.
257
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:03,945
[man grunting]
258
00:16:09,451 --> 00:16:14,164
Can you wipe this shit off?
Please!
259
00:16:14,289 --> 00:16:16,083
And the other nuclear
providers are on board?
260
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:18,919
[Frank] Most. Except Raymond's
company and a couple of others.
261
00:16:19,044 --> 00:16:20,628
Lakeport Nuclear, Wolf Springs.
262
00:16:20,754 --> 00:16:22,381
Now, I can't prove it,
263
00:16:22,506 --> 00:16:25,426
but I am absolutely sure
they're colluding.
264
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:28,136
Raymond wants to embarrass me.
265
00:16:28,262 --> 00:16:31,848
I offer a solution,
nuclear lobby turns its back.
266
00:16:31,973 --> 00:16:34,017
He has a right to refuse,
Mr. President.
267
00:16:34,142 --> 00:16:37,271
What he cannot do is manipulate
the energy market.
268
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:40,648
You want to put pressure
on the distribution side.
269
00:16:40,774 --> 00:16:43,235
More than pressure. Ban vertical
integration entirely.
270
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,237
We don't have that
regulatory power.
271
00:16:45,362 --> 00:16:48,198
We add an antitrust agreement
to the emergency energy bill.
272
00:16:48,323 --> 00:16:50,033
We break up the regional supply
273
00:16:50,158 --> 00:16:53,537
and distribution monopolies
like the Bell System.
274
00:16:53,661 --> 00:16:55,497
It'll be challenged immediately
in the courts.
275
00:16:55,663 --> 00:16:59,501
We don't need it to pass,
we just need to threaten it.
276
00:16:59,626 --> 00:17:01,420
See if he falls into line.
277
00:17:04,714 --> 00:17:08,093
Is there a way to do that without
it making its way into the news?
278
00:17:08,218 --> 00:17:12,013
I don't want the world's wealthiest
one percent on my phone sheet.
279
00:17:12,138 --> 00:17:16,977
There is absolutely a way
to do that, sir.
280
00:17:19,313 --> 00:17:21,356
[upbeat Latin music playing]
281
00:17:22,857 --> 00:17:25,235
Here you go.
282
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:28,989
- Crowded for a Tuesday night.
- We keep it at 65 degrees.
283
00:17:29,114 --> 00:17:31,158
- And it's free.
- If you call 18 bucks
284
00:17:31,283 --> 00:17:34,995
- for a vodka soda free.
- Still cheaper than a Pepco bill.
285
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,455
- Depends on how many you have.
- You trying to get us drunk?
286
00:17:37,581 --> 00:17:40,458
- Drunker you are, bigger you tip.
- [chuckles]
287
00:17:40,584 --> 00:17:44,004
I don't have to be drunk
to appreciate good service.
288
00:17:44,129 --> 00:17:47,633
- I'll get your change.
- No, you won't.
289
00:17:47,757 --> 00:17:52,095
- Thank you.
- You're shameless.
290
00:17:52,220 --> 00:17:54,681
Makes me a good lobbyist.
291
00:17:54,806 --> 00:17:56,350
Cheers.
292
00:17:59,853 --> 00:18:03,731
So, Jackie... bold move,
but it won't work.
293
00:18:03,857 --> 00:18:06,485
You know we can pass this
amendment in a heartbeat.
294
00:18:06,610 --> 00:18:08,736
Maybe, but no one will comply.
It'll get overturned.
295
00:18:08,862 --> 00:18:11,198
- Big fuss for nothing.
- It might get overturned,
296
00:18:11,323 --> 00:18:14,409
- but it gets ink along the way.
- One thing about Raymond Tusk
297
00:18:14,535 --> 00:18:16,578
is he doesn't give two
bird shits about public opinion.
298
00:18:16,703 --> 00:18:19,540
- His stockholders do.
- They'd jump in a pit of snakes
299
00:18:19,665 --> 00:18:21,583
and light themselves on fire
if he gave the word.
300
00:18:21,708 --> 00:18:24,503
All I'm asking is
that you convey our intentions.
301
00:18:24,628 --> 00:18:27,506
Why me? Frank could
easily pick up the phone.
302
00:18:27,631 --> 00:18:29,466
You still call him Frank?
303
00:18:29,591 --> 00:18:33,136
Not to his face, which I try
to keep to a minimum.
304
00:18:33,261 --> 00:18:35,180
Don't you appreciate having
an ear in the White House?
305
00:18:35,305 --> 00:18:37,849
I would, if I had an ear. But
lately all I've got is a mouth.
306
00:18:37,974 --> 00:18:42,437
[laughs] Yeah. He's not
the best listener, is he?
307
00:18:42,563 --> 00:18:46,107
- Try working for him.
- You were on his staff?
308
00:18:46,233 --> 00:18:49,570
Eight years. Press secretary.
Before you joined Congress.
309
00:18:50,987 --> 00:18:52,030
That explains a lot.
310
00:18:52,155 --> 00:18:56,702
- Like what?
- Like a lot.
311
00:18:56,827 --> 00:18:59,287
- I'll take that as an insult.
- You should.
312
00:18:59,413 --> 00:19:01,540
[laughing]
313
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:03,832
That's it? You abandoning me?
314
00:19:03,958 --> 00:19:05,210
No, I'm buying the next round.
315
00:19:05,335 --> 00:19:07,546
I can't accept
gifts from lobbyists
316
00:19:07,671 --> 00:19:09,214
without reciprocating.
317
00:19:09,339 --> 00:19:11,466
Plus, I'm a good wingman.
318
00:19:11,592 --> 00:19:14,678
This gets you more face time
with the barmaid.
319
00:19:20,684 --> 00:19:22,310
[car doors shut]
320
00:19:31,403 --> 00:19:33,196
You already got 'em ready?
321
00:19:33,321 --> 00:19:36,658
Your guys gave me the
heads-up you were comin'.
322
00:19:36,783 --> 00:19:39,244
Well, I hope that they didn't
wake you earlier than usual.
323
00:19:39,369 --> 00:19:43,957
Fuck, man, with this heat,
I ain't sleepin' much anyway.
324
00:19:44,082 --> 00:19:46,834
- What? No AC at home?
- I got a unit.
325
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,337
I just don't wanna pay
the damn bill.
326
00:19:49,462 --> 00:19:52,507
It's not too bad in here,
all things considered.
327
00:19:52,633 --> 00:19:54,760
That's 'cause we in the shade.
328
00:19:54,884 --> 00:19:57,887
You get outside a couple hours
from now on that pavement,
329
00:19:58,012 --> 00:20:00,390
fry your damn dick off
from three feet below.
330
00:20:00,515 --> 00:20:02,142
[Frank] Must be bad
over that grill.
331
00:20:02,267 --> 00:20:05,437
I can't tell the
difference no more.
332
00:20:05,562 --> 00:20:07,939
I tell you what, though,
333
00:20:08,064 --> 00:20:11,693
stuff goes down 'round here
when the mercury pop a hundred.
334
00:20:11,818 --> 00:20:16,698
Man who beat his wife at home will
beat her right out on the street.
335
00:20:16,823 --> 00:20:19,451
- Brings out the animal in us?
- That ain't no joke.
336
00:20:19,576 --> 00:20:23,413
What used to wake me up?
Gunshots.
337
00:20:23,538 --> 00:20:27,668
Now you know what does it?
People fuckin'.
338
00:20:27,792 --> 00:20:31,879
Moanin' and screamin'
like goddamn cats in the alley.
339
00:20:32,005 --> 00:20:34,048
You know what they say,
340
00:20:34,174 --> 00:20:38,219
when you get hot and sweaty,
it make you ripe and ready.
341
00:20:42,182 --> 00:20:45,977
- Hey.
- [Jackie] Hey.
342
00:20:47,145 --> 00:20:52,693
- I drank too much.
- We both did.
343
00:20:54,986 --> 00:20:58,072
- Last night didn't happen.
- I know.
344
00:20:58,198 --> 00:21:01,868
When I walk out that door,
it's business as usual.
345
00:21:01,993 --> 00:21:03,328
- No special treatment.
- Don't worry.
346
00:21:03,453 --> 00:21:06,164
You won't need
a restraining order.
347
00:21:10,377 --> 00:21:12,838
I'm surprised you didn't
go for the waitress.
348
00:21:12,962 --> 00:21:15,549
- You're much sexier.
- Yeah, OK.
349
00:21:15,674 --> 00:21:17,718
She works for tips.
You run Congress.
350
00:21:17,843 --> 00:21:21,346
- Only half of it.
- That's half more than she does.
351
00:21:21,471 --> 00:21:23,931
- So it's not my body.
- [chuckles]
352
00:21:24,057 --> 00:21:28,269
- Those legs don't hurt.
- You're so full of shit.
353
00:21:30,355 --> 00:21:35,360
OK. It's your voice.
354
00:21:35,485 --> 00:21:40,157
- My voice?
- Mm-hm. It does something to me.
355
00:21:43,076 --> 00:21:44,952
Let me know what Tusk
has to say.
356
00:21:48,206 --> 00:21:51,000
Business hasn't started yet. You
haven't walked out that door yet.
357
00:21:51,793 --> 00:21:53,336
Watch me.
358
00:21:55,088 --> 00:21:59,384
[door opens, closes]
359
00:22:07,642 --> 00:22:08,852
[phone chimes]
360
00:22:20,363 --> 00:22:21,615
[phone dialing]
361
00:22:21,740 --> 00:22:24,325
Thank you, Jackie.
362
00:22:27,787 --> 00:22:29,205
We're going to the White House.
363
00:22:29,330 --> 00:22:32,041
Little John on the move.
364
00:22:33,919 --> 00:22:36,296
We raise the bet.
We get FERC involved.
365
00:22:36,421 --> 00:22:38,298
- An investigation?
- We don't need Congress
366
00:22:38,423 --> 00:22:40,425
- to activate the regulatory commission.
- But a price-fixing review?
367
00:22:40,550 --> 00:22:43,136
- That would take months.
- Again, it's the threat,
368
00:22:43,261 --> 00:22:45,012
- not the actuality.
- He'll employ the same logic.
369
00:22:45,138 --> 00:22:46,806
Draw it out,
fight back with appeals.
370
00:22:46,932 --> 00:22:49,768
But he'll have to divulge his
accounting if FERC takes action.
371
00:22:49,893 --> 00:22:52,312
Now, no businessman
wants to open up his books,
372
00:22:52,437 --> 00:22:54,898
especially one
with $43 billion.
373
00:22:55,022 --> 00:22:59,026
This is getting out of hand, Frank. We
shouldn't be duking it out with Raymond.
374
00:22:59,152 --> 00:23:01,529
- Maybe we should talk to him.
- That's exactly what he wants.
375
00:23:01,655 --> 00:23:04,282
To force himself
back into the mix.
376
00:23:04,407 --> 00:23:06,033
What's to be gained
by shutting him out?
377
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:08,578
The simple lesson
that you cannot strong-arm
378
00:23:08,703 --> 00:23:11,665
the president
of the United States.
379
00:23:13,166 --> 00:23:15,335
We can't devolve
to a pissing contest.
380
00:23:15,460 --> 00:23:17,754
I'm gonna call Raymond.
Invite him to Washington.
381
00:23:17,879 --> 00:23:19,756
He won't accept anything
but total surrender.
382
00:23:19,881 --> 00:23:23,343
- I'm making the call.
- Don't put yourself in that position.
383
00:23:23,468 --> 00:23:26,554
I know how to maintain
the integrity of my office.
384
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,100
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
385
00:23:31,225 --> 00:23:34,521
Two minutes with the president and
Tusk may be back in his good graces.
386
00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:37,941
I need to disrupt the nuptials
and prevent a second marriage.
387
00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:55,750
- [door opens]
- [footsteps approaching]
388
00:23:55,876 --> 00:23:57,502
- [Claire] Christina?
- Good to see you.
389
00:23:57,627 --> 00:23:59,963
- Oh, please.
- [both chuckling]
390
00:24:00,087 --> 00:24:03,008
- You look great.
- Thank you.
391
00:24:03,132 --> 00:24:06,344
- How are things?
- Great.
392
00:24:06,469 --> 00:24:09,764
Linda works me to the bone,
but that's what I signed up for.
393
00:24:09,890 --> 00:24:12,266
Well, from what I've heard,
you're doing a great job.
394
00:24:12,392 --> 00:24:14,019
Well, that's really nice
to hear.
395
00:24:14,143 --> 00:24:17,062
Look, I wanted to talk to you
about Tricia.
396
00:24:17,188 --> 00:24:21,818
I'm sure you've noticed that she's
still sort of adjusting to her role.
397
00:24:21,943 --> 00:24:25,321
You mean her... confidence.
398
00:24:25,446 --> 00:24:27,824
I think it would be great
if you reached out to her.
399
00:24:27,949 --> 00:24:31,912
Just let her know that you're there
if there's anything she needs.
400
00:24:32,037 --> 00:24:34,789
I don't really know her that well.
I mean, we've met, but I...
401
00:24:34,915 --> 00:24:37,375
That's OK.
Maybe just tell her
402
00:24:37,499 --> 00:24:39,126
that you enjoy
working for the president,
403
00:24:39,252 --> 00:24:44,215
and you're there to be of help
to her in any way you can.
404
00:24:44,340 --> 00:24:46,133
You don't think that's a little,
I don't know, brash?
405
00:24:46,259 --> 00:24:49,554
- How?
- For me to just approach her like that?
406
00:24:49,679 --> 00:24:51,765
No. Not at all.
407
00:25:39,771 --> 00:25:43,441
[woman] You've reached the Skorsky residence.
Leave a message after the beep.
408
00:25:43,566 --> 00:25:46,987
Tom Hammerschmidt again. I'm
still trying to reach Janine.
409
00:25:47,112 --> 00:25:50,490
Still important. Thank you.
410
00:25:55,244 --> 00:25:57,831
[Doug] Hammerschmidt's been
calling our press office all day.
411
00:25:57,956 --> 00:26:00,291
I don't want a story to come out
any more than you do.
412
00:26:00,416 --> 00:26:02,167
We lose a major asset
if it does.
413
00:26:02,293 --> 00:26:03,962
Can you squash it
for security reasons?
414
00:26:04,087 --> 00:26:06,798
Not once it's been shared with
the press. First Amendment crap.
415
00:26:06,923 --> 00:26:12,219
Ward isn't making things any easier.
She wants a notch in her belt.
416
00:26:12,345 --> 00:26:14,430
We're giving her one.
417
00:26:14,555 --> 00:26:17,558
Not Goodwin. She wants Orsay.
418
00:26:17,684 --> 00:26:19,978
Most-wanted list for six years.
419
00:26:21,938 --> 00:26:23,731
I'll handle Hammerschmidt.
420
00:26:23,857 --> 00:26:26,442
You need to make sure Goodwin
takes the plea.
421
00:26:26,567 --> 00:26:29,070
If 35 with no parole doesn't
scare the piss out of him,
422
00:26:29,195 --> 00:26:32,115
- I don't know what will.
- Then don't try to scare him.
423
00:26:33,407 --> 00:26:36,202
Remove hope from the equation.
424
00:26:38,538 --> 00:26:41,833
I tried to keep this contained.
425
00:26:41,958 --> 00:26:46,462
I didn't anticipate
Hammerschmidt.
426
00:26:46,587 --> 00:26:50,507
- [Frank] Is Ms. Skorsky cooperating with him?
- He's called her.
427
00:26:50,633 --> 00:26:54,054
My guy at the bureau says
they haven't actually spoken.
428
00:26:54,179 --> 00:26:56,973
At least not on the phone.
429
00:26:57,098 --> 00:26:59,559
- If this goes to court--
- That won't happen, sir.
430
00:26:59,684 --> 00:27:01,435
It will if he publishes.
431
00:27:01,561 --> 00:27:05,314
I'm bringing this to you because
I can't control Hammerschmidt.
432
00:27:05,439 --> 00:27:07,692
I don't know what to do.
433
00:27:11,654 --> 00:27:16,367
We need to invite a full-frontal
attack. Then hold the line.
434
00:27:16,492 --> 00:27:20,955
- You want to speak to him?
- Face-to-face. Just the two of us.
435
00:27:21,081 --> 00:27:24,751
- I don't think that's a good idea, sir.
- You have a better idea?
436
00:27:26,711 --> 00:27:28,755
- No, sir.
- We can't avoid the battle,
437
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,882
but we can choose
the battlefield.
438
00:27:31,007 --> 00:27:34,301
Set up a meeting at the White House.
We'll intimidate him with formality.
439
00:27:34,427 --> 00:27:36,345
Yes, sir.
440
00:27:38,765 --> 00:27:40,725
Mr. Vice President?
441
00:27:40,849 --> 00:27:43,603
I know you don't have patience
for apologies,
442
00:27:43,728 --> 00:27:45,438
but I'm sorry if I've
let you down in any way.
443
00:27:45,563 --> 00:27:47,899
Let's concentrate
on what's in front of us.
444
00:27:48,024 --> 00:27:49,442
I'll let you know
when I have a time set up.
445
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:52,403
- As soon as possible.
- Yes, sir.
446
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,449
[door closes]
447
00:28:09,003 --> 00:28:12,339
So this is a sort of outline
to the larger piece?
448
00:28:12,465 --> 00:28:15,135
With questions on the next page.
449
00:28:27,521 --> 00:28:30,357
- We're off the record?
- Yes, off the record.
450
00:28:30,484 --> 00:28:33,527
Now, Tom, I know that you care
about this young man,
451
00:28:33,653 --> 00:28:35,696
and I respect you as a
journalist, but these questions?
452
00:28:35,822 --> 00:28:40,076
Why don't you just ask me when I
stopped strangling people's pets.
453
00:28:40,201 --> 00:28:41,661
Sir, the death
of Congressman Russo--
454
00:28:41,786 --> 00:28:44,538
You mean my friend,
Peter Russo,
455
00:28:44,664 --> 00:28:47,959
whose suicide left two
small children with no father.
456
00:28:48,084 --> 00:28:51,254
- No, I will not answer questions about that.
- [phone beeps]
457
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:53,756
Yes?
458
00:28:53,881 --> 00:28:57,426
I'm aware of that. No, tell her
I'll call her right back.
459
00:28:57,551 --> 00:29:00,054
Two minutes. Secretary Durant.
460
00:29:00,180 --> 00:29:02,556
- I can wait outside--
- No, let's finish.
461
00:29:02,682 --> 00:29:07,312
Now, if you decide
to print any of this,
462
00:29:07,436 --> 00:29:09,897
assuming you find an outlet
that's willing to, then yes,
463
00:29:10,023 --> 00:29:12,733
it might cause me
a headache for a day.
464
00:29:12,859 --> 00:29:14,194
But I will not engage.
465
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:16,279
And I think it will only
prove to highlight
466
00:29:16,403 --> 00:29:18,198
how ridiculous Mr. Goodwin's
claims are.
467
00:29:18,323 --> 00:29:21,450
I pity him. I truly do.
I think he needs help.
468
00:29:21,575 --> 00:29:24,037
I've interviewed many mentally ill people.
He's not one of them.
469
00:29:24,162 --> 00:29:27,414
Well, I would suggest that you
read your own article again.
470
00:29:27,540 --> 00:29:29,709
He's distressed.
There's a difference.
471
00:29:29,833 --> 00:29:33,087
Look, I understand. It must be a
terrible blow to see him in prison,
472
00:29:33,213 --> 00:29:35,340
- but Tom--
- Rachel Posner exists.
473
00:29:35,464 --> 00:29:39,468
I haven't been able to find her, but
I've proven she's not a fantasy.
474
00:29:39,593 --> 00:29:41,888
The same goes for Roy Kapeniak.
These people were born.
475
00:29:42,013 --> 00:29:44,182
They have Social Security
numbers, past addresses.
476
00:29:44,307 --> 00:29:47,852
So does everyone from California to Maine.
Have I conspired with all of them?
477
00:29:47,977 --> 00:29:51,564
You have to admit there are some
troubling details regarding the DUI.
478
00:29:51,689 --> 00:29:54,608
You know, people say the same
thing about Area 51.
479
00:29:54,734 --> 00:29:57,111
You can conjure up little gray
men if you really want to.
480
00:29:57,237 --> 00:30:02,950
- Did you kill Peter Russo?
- Tom, you're embarrassing yourself.
481
00:30:03,076 --> 00:30:04,911
Did you kill Zoe Barnes?
482
00:30:05,036 --> 00:30:07,372
I've given you more time
than this nonsense deserves.
483
00:30:07,496 --> 00:30:09,832
- I have to ask these questions.
- The only question I would ask is:
484
00:30:09,957 --> 00:30:12,335
does this sort of article
hurt or help Mr. Goodwin?
485
00:30:12,459 --> 00:30:16,214
You have to do what you think is right.
But I hope you can understand
486
00:30:16,339 --> 00:30:19,217
if I don't demean myself
by taking any of it seriously.
487
00:30:19,342 --> 00:30:21,928
I appreciate your time,
Mr. Vice President.
488
00:30:37,902 --> 00:30:41,697
- How'd it go?
- I did my part. Now put it to bed, Doug.
489
00:30:41,822 --> 00:30:43,824
I won't submit myself
to this sort of exposure again.
490
00:30:43,950 --> 00:30:46,286
- Yes, sir.
- Has Tusk met with the president yet?
491
00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:48,704
- Linda said they're meeting at 4:30.
- Call Remy.
492
00:30:48,829 --> 00:30:51,291
Make sure he doesn't get on
his plane before I see him.
493
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:52,833
I'm on it.
494
00:30:52,959 --> 00:30:57,046
[door opens, closes]
495
00:31:07,432 --> 00:31:09,976
Oh, Mrs. Walker?
496
00:31:10,101 --> 00:31:13,438
I just wanted to say how rewarding it's
been working here in the West Wing.
497
00:31:13,562 --> 00:31:16,023
And I'm so proud to be working
for your husband.
498
00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:20,528
Thank you. I know he
appreciates all your hard work.
499
00:31:20,653 --> 00:31:23,114
Well, now that I'm working
so closely with him,
500
00:31:23,239 --> 00:31:25,199
if there's anything
I can do for you,
501
00:31:25,325 --> 00:31:29,578
anything that would make yours
or his life easier...
502
00:31:29,703 --> 00:31:33,666
- Just keep doing what you're doing.
- Truly, anything.
503
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:38,421
I want you to know you can
rely on me. Both of you.
504
00:31:38,544 --> 00:31:42,049
I know that.
Thank you, Christina.
505
00:31:42,175 --> 00:31:44,093
Thanks, Mrs. Walker.
506
00:31:51,557 --> 00:31:54,312
- Oh, here. Let me.
- Oh, it's just my hands...
507
00:31:54,437 --> 00:31:57,773
- Are they bothering you?
- Yeah, probably gonna get rain tonight.
508
00:31:57,898 --> 00:32:00,193
- [knocking on door]
- I'll get it.
509
00:32:00,318 --> 00:32:03,863
Um, no, just keep
the broth moving.
510
00:32:08,284 --> 00:32:11,537
Agent Green, FBI. Do you have
a moment, Ms. Skorsky?
511
00:32:11,662 --> 00:32:13,622
- Yeah, I...
- May we come in?
512
00:32:13,747 --> 00:32:17,001
I just need to
turn the stove off.
513
00:32:18,961 --> 00:32:20,754
- Stay in here, Mom.
- Who is it?
514
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,299
Just stay in here.
515
00:32:26,427 --> 00:32:27,887
Only that once?
516
00:32:28,012 --> 00:32:30,180
And I haven't seen him since,
or returned his calls.
517
00:32:30,306 --> 00:32:33,851
- How many times has he tried to call you?
- I don't know.
518
00:32:33,976 --> 00:32:38,398
Eight or nine times, maybe. And
then he stopped after a while.
519
00:32:38,523 --> 00:32:42,026
Did he mention anything about
Heronymous Bot or Gavin Orsay?
520
00:32:42,151 --> 00:32:44,529
You know, I think
I should talk to a lawyer.
521
00:32:44,653 --> 00:32:47,198
Right now you're not suspected
of being an accomplice.
522
00:32:47,323 --> 00:32:50,243
If you call a lawyer,
we might have to reconsider.
523
00:32:53,204 --> 00:32:57,041
- He mentioned some hacker.
- Heronymous.
524
00:32:57,166 --> 00:32:59,085
I told him I thought it
was a bad idea to contact him.
525
00:32:59,210 --> 00:33:02,755
- Are you aware of what he's claiming?
- No.
526
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,673
That you and he
were working together.
527
00:33:04,798 --> 00:33:07,427
That you believe
in this conspiracy theory.
528
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:12,181
That it was you who received
explicit photos of Ms. Barnes.
529
00:33:12,306 --> 00:33:14,475
Is any of that true?
530
00:33:20,106 --> 00:33:21,982
We need you to come back
to DC with us
531
00:33:22,108 --> 00:33:25,819
and sign this statement in the
presence of the US attorney.
532
00:33:27,738 --> 00:33:30,450
- You want me to call him a liar.
- Isn't he?
533
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,034
I can't do that to him.
534
00:33:32,159 --> 00:33:34,828
We also need you to speak
with Tom Hammerschmidt.
535
00:33:34,954 --> 00:33:37,164
You know what, please, can you
just keep me out of this?
536
00:33:37,290 --> 00:33:39,250
I had nothing to do
with the hacker or the--
537
00:33:39,375 --> 00:33:41,001
[man] Ms. Skorsky, we want
to believe you.
538
00:33:41,127 --> 00:33:43,837
And we will,
if you put all of it in writing.
539
00:33:43,963 --> 00:33:48,175
He's not a criminal. You're
going after the wrong person.
540
00:33:48,301 --> 00:33:50,595
And if you think
that you can intimidate me,
541
00:33:50,719 --> 00:33:54,515
harass me like this in my own home,
I will file a formal complaint.
542
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,101
You're starting to sound
an awful lot like him.
543
00:33:59,019 --> 00:34:03,150
You can't arrest me.
I haven't done anything.
544
00:34:03,274 --> 00:34:05,109
I'd like you to leave.
545
00:34:05,234 --> 00:34:07,903
I have a right to legal counsel and
you haven't presented a warrant.
546
00:34:08,028 --> 00:34:12,950
We can arrest you, Ms. Skorsky, for
abetting an act of cyberterrorism.
547
00:34:14,118 --> 00:34:15,786
Who's going to take care
of your mother
548
00:34:15,911 --> 00:34:20,165
while you're spending the next
three years in courtrooms?
549
00:34:20,291 --> 00:34:22,960
Would you please
raise your arms?
550
00:34:23,085 --> 00:34:25,087
- [Frank] No, Meechum.
- Sir.
551
00:34:25,212 --> 00:34:26,380
Meechum.
552
00:34:26,506 --> 00:34:27,507
I know you don't want
to shake my hand,
553
00:34:27,632 --> 00:34:29,592
so we'll just skip that part.
554
00:34:31,218 --> 00:34:33,513
The president didn't
mention anything about it.
555
00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:36,849
Why would he?
Better to catch you off guard.
556
00:34:36,974 --> 00:34:42,396
- Then why would you?
- So we can avoid unnecessary conflict.
557
00:34:42,522 --> 00:34:45,024
Garrett's not a good liar.
558
00:34:45,149 --> 00:34:49,488
The gift of a good liar is making people
think you lack a talent for lying.
559
00:34:49,612 --> 00:34:55,201
I know him far better than you, and so
I know what talents he has and lacks.
560
00:34:55,326 --> 00:34:57,870
But let's assume he did lie.
561
00:34:57,995 --> 00:35:02,249
I'm not intimidated
by a FERC investigation.
562
00:35:02,375 --> 00:35:05,670
You'd have grid overload and brownouts
before you could even get a hearing.
563
00:35:05,794 --> 00:35:08,172
You are deliberately keeping
electric prices at inflated rates,
564
00:35:08,297 --> 00:35:10,633
- which is illegal.
- No.
565
00:35:10,757 --> 00:35:15,762
- I'm responding to the free market.
- A regulated free market.
566
00:35:16,722 --> 00:35:18,224
Why are you doing this, Frank?
567
00:35:18,349 --> 00:35:22,186
Remy asked me the same thing.
568
00:35:22,311 --> 00:35:25,565
- You're making this about me.
- This isn't personal, Raymond.
569
00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:28,734
The integrity of our energy
markets is my only concern.
570
00:35:28,859 --> 00:35:31,862
Of course it's personal.
I asked you, personally,
571
00:35:31,987 --> 00:35:34,240
to convince Garrett to pull back
from China.
572
00:35:34,365 --> 00:35:36,909
You personally chose not to.
573
00:35:37,034 --> 00:35:39,161
You personally sabotaged
the summit.
574
00:35:39,286 --> 00:35:41,372
- I have never once in my career...
- You personally advised...
575
00:35:41,497 --> 00:35:44,584
- ...allowed personal...
- ...to push me up against the wall.
576
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:48,421
Do not try and spin me, Frank!
I am too old to tango!
577
00:35:48,546 --> 00:35:51,840
Then I'll be blunt. Accept the
subsidies or deal with FERC.
578
00:35:51,965 --> 00:35:53,551
There is no third way here.
579
00:35:53,676 --> 00:35:57,263
Are you intentionally trying
to destroy the president?
580
00:35:57,388 --> 00:36:02,184
I'm trying to protect
the president... from you.
581
00:36:04,562 --> 00:36:06,689
This is about the secretary
of state nomination, isn't it?
582
00:36:06,813 --> 00:36:10,276
I'm the vice president now. I don't cry
over what happened in kindergarten.
583
00:36:10,401 --> 00:36:12,819
You're vice president
because I vouched for you.
584
00:36:12,945 --> 00:36:17,157
Because you had no other
options. Political necessity.
585
00:36:19,368 --> 00:36:23,956
- You have 24 hours to decide.
- I'll show myself out.
586
00:36:28,586 --> 00:36:30,212
Hello.
587
00:36:30,337 --> 00:36:34,258
[Frank] Raymond,
this is Claire.
588
00:36:34,383 --> 00:36:37,136
Mrs. Underwood, it is an honor.
589
00:36:37,261 --> 00:36:42,808
Jean... my wife, has been very
taken with your recent efforts.
590
00:36:42,933 --> 00:36:44,310
Well, I'd like
to meet her one day.
591
00:36:44,435 --> 00:36:46,228
She would very much
like that, I'm sure.
592
00:36:46,353 --> 00:36:49,774
- And what about you?
- I'm sorry?
593
00:36:49,898 --> 00:36:51,858
What are your thoughts
about our recent efforts?
594
00:36:51,984 --> 00:36:54,945
Oh. I am in favor of anything
595
00:36:55,070 --> 00:36:58,658
that prevents
unnecessary violence.
596
00:36:58,783 --> 00:37:00,909
It's nice to meet you,
Mrs. Underwood.
597
00:37:01,034 --> 00:37:05,790
And good luck with that first pitch
tonight, Mr. Vice President.
598
00:37:05,914 --> 00:37:09,335
Make it to the plate this time.
599
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:10,670

604
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,154
Well, I didn't practice with it.
Now I can hardly rotate my arm.
605
00:37:37,279 --> 00:37:39,114
I should have mentioned it.
I apologize.
606
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,408
If this ball doesn't make it
over the plate, it's your ass.
607
00:37:41,534 --> 00:37:45,412
And what are you doing here?
Don't you have things to do?

Ladies and gentlemen, here to throw
out the first pitch tonight,
612
00:38:05,098 --> 00:38:09,019
we are honored to introduce the vice
president of the United States,
613
00:38:09,144 --> 00:38:13,940
- Frank Underwood!
- [crowd cheering]
614
00:38:21,490 --> 00:38:24,410
Boss, boss. Use his ball.
615
00:38:31,124 --> 00:38:34,002
Thank you very much. Where's
the mascot? There you are.
616
00:38:34,127 --> 00:38:35,629
Pleasure.
617
00:38:35,755 --> 00:38:38,090
Beautiful job.
618
00:38:38,215 --> 00:38:42,428
Good evening. Now, I know it's a hot night
and you all want to get to the baseball.
619
00:38:42,553 --> 00:38:47,474
So as soon as I throw this sucker,
grab a drink, enjoy the game,
620
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,351
and best of luck to both teams.
621
00:38:49,476 --> 00:38:52,688
Ah, scratch that.
We're at Camden Yards.
622
00:38:52,813 --> 00:38:55,816
- Go Orioles!
- [cheering]
623
00:39:22,802 --> 00:39:25,345
[crowd murmuring]
624
00:39:31,184 --> 00:39:33,604
[man] Let's go, sir.
We've gotta move!
625
00:39:38,358 --> 00:39:41,737
- [man] Got him. We're on the move.
- [indistinct chattering]
626
00:39:43,614 --> 00:39:45,699
[Walker] I'm told the distribution
line that controls the pinch point
627
00:39:45,826 --> 00:39:48,243
caused the outages.
BAPCO, one of your companies.
628
00:39:48,368 --> 00:39:50,496
[Tusk] Yes, sir.
There was a capacity issue.
629
00:39:50,621 --> 00:39:52,706
We're working as quickly
as we can to resolve it.
630
00:39:52,831 --> 00:39:54,249
I've got
three governors calling,
631
00:39:54,374 --> 00:39:55,876
hospitals on emergency power,
632
00:39:56,001 --> 00:39:57,002
so quickly better mean quickly.
633
00:39:57,127 --> 00:39:58,796
The latest estimate I got
634
00:39:58,921 --> 00:40:00,546
was two to three hours,
maybe sooner.
635
00:40:00,673 --> 00:40:02,925
Raymond, was this intentional?
636
00:40:03,049 --> 00:40:08,889
Sir, I know you don't hold me in
the highest regard at the moment,
637
00:40:09,014 --> 00:40:11,557
but I am alarmed
638
00:40:11,684 --> 00:40:13,894
that you could even
entertain such a thought.
639
00:40:14,019 --> 00:40:17,564
[Walker] Well, the timing makes
coincidence hard to swallow.
640
00:40:17,690 --> 00:40:21,777
[sighs] There is a heat wave. That
always pushes the grid to its limits.
641
00:40:21,902 --> 00:40:24,947
Let's get the people out of the dark.
Updates every 30 minutes on your progress.
642
00:40:25,071 --> 00:40:30,995
I should inform you, sir, that I may need
to take two of my plants offline tomorrow,
643
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:34,289
- for unscheduled maintenance.
- Why? Which ones?
644
00:40:34,414 --> 00:40:36,041
Georgia and Tennessee.
645
00:40:36,166 --> 00:40:38,418
This blackout has put
a great deal of stress on them.
646
00:40:38,544 --> 00:40:43,507
My engineers are concerned about
the seals on the fuel rods.
647
00:40:43,632 --> 00:40:45,926
So we're looking at outages
on the Southeast grid, too?
648
00:40:46,051 --> 00:40:48,512
- Could be, for a few days.
- That's unacceptable.
649
00:40:48,637 --> 00:40:51,348
Safety comes first.
We don't want an accident.
650
00:40:51,473 --> 00:40:55,060
- Let's get a full report to Linda ASAP.
- Yes, sir.
651
00:40:55,186 --> 00:40:56,687
Thank you, sir.
652
00:40:58,856 --> 00:41:01,149
- He's toying with you.
- This could be a legitimate safety issue.
653
00:41:01,274 --> 00:41:04,152
He wants a seat back at the
table. Those plants are fine.
654
00:41:04,277 --> 00:41:06,112
Why is he doing this?
We've had our differences,
655
00:41:06,238 --> 00:41:07,781
but something drastic like this?
656
00:41:07,907 --> 00:41:11,827
Well, I did tell him
about the possible FERC action.
657
00:41:11,952 --> 00:41:15,163
- [Walker] You did what?
- He called me, I answered the call.
658
00:41:15,288 --> 00:41:16,498
Why didn't you inform me
immediately?
659
00:41:16,623 --> 00:41:18,584
He told me you had
a productive talk,
660
00:41:18,709 --> 00:41:20,544
that he was on board
with the subsidy.
661
00:41:20,669 --> 00:41:22,963
I assumed everything was fine.
662
00:41:23,088 --> 00:41:25,674
He was proposing renewed trade talks.
We didn't talk about subsidy at all.
663
00:41:25,799 --> 00:41:29,011
[Frank] He's playing
both of us then.
664
00:41:29,135 --> 00:41:31,388
If he told you he was on board,
why'd you bring up FERC?
665
00:41:31,513 --> 00:41:34,892
I told him I was relieved, that we
could've taken action if he didn't comply.
666
00:41:35,017 --> 00:41:37,061
You think he's fishing, to see
what our next move might be?
667
00:41:37,185 --> 00:41:41,524
I think so, sir. I mean, he is lying
about those two plants in the South.
668
00:41:41,648 --> 00:41:43,609
But we can't guess.
We have to be certain.
669
00:41:43,734 --> 00:41:46,152
Do you want Raymond Tusk
to assess that risk,
670
00:41:46,278 --> 00:41:47,947
or the United States government?
671
00:41:48,072 --> 00:41:49,990
Are you suggesting
we take over his facilities?
672
00:41:50,115 --> 00:41:51,742
There is precedent there.
673
00:41:51,867 --> 00:41:54,787
Woodrow Wilson did it with the
railroads for three full years.
674
00:41:54,912 --> 00:41:56,371
[Linda] In a time of war.
675
00:41:56,496 --> 00:41:59,792
In a time of emergency,
which is what this is.
676
00:41:59,917 --> 00:42:04,004
The country needs a leader,
Mr. President. Give them one.
677
00:42:04,129 --> 00:42:07,257
Do not bend to Raymond Tusk.
678
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,602
[Lucas] I'm done.
679
00:42:21,647 --> 00:42:23,983
- I said you might not like it.
- It makes me seem crazy.
680
00:42:24,108 --> 00:42:27,027
This is the most
toned-down version.
681
00:42:27,152 --> 00:42:31,197
I tried to be as kind as I
could without being biased.
682
00:42:31,323 --> 00:42:33,868
I don't think you want this
going out into the world.
683
00:42:33,993 --> 00:42:36,036
Can I talk to Janine?
684
00:42:45,170 --> 00:42:46,421
Tell him to go.
685
00:42:52,344 --> 00:42:54,513
He wants you to leave.
686
00:43:02,521 --> 00:43:04,523
- You lied.
- Luca--
687
00:43:04,648 --> 00:43:06,525
You lied to Tom.
You lied to the US attorney.
688
00:43:06,650 --> 00:43:07,651
I didn't know what else to do.
689
00:43:07,776 --> 00:43:08,944
Tell the truth.
690
00:43:11,197 --> 00:43:12,447
They'll arrest me.
691
00:43:12,572 --> 00:43:14,574
They'll discredit
everything I say.
692
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,577
And nobody is going to believe
me more than they believe you.
693
00:43:17,703 --> 00:43:20,455
But we can get the story out there.
Get people asking questions.
694
00:43:20,580 --> 00:43:25,460
No. It'll just look like
two crazy people instead of one.
695
00:43:28,254 --> 00:43:30,674
So you're saving yourself.
696
00:43:30,799 --> 00:43:33,802
I'm trying to save
the both of us.
697
00:43:37,097 --> 00:43:40,475
Please. Take the plea.
698
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,228
- I'm not guilty.
- You are.
699
00:43:43,353 --> 00:43:46,481
You committed a crime.
Multiple crimes.
700
00:43:46,606 --> 00:43:49,275
- Not murder.
- [sighs]
701
00:43:50,694 --> 00:43:56,158
Take the plea. Be good.
Get out early.
702
00:43:58,660 --> 00:44:01,454
Everybody...
everybody's fucked me.
703
00:44:01,580 --> 00:44:05,042
If I was trying to fuck you,
I wouldn't be here.
704
00:44:06,542 --> 00:44:09,213
He's gonna get away with it,
isn't he?
705
00:44:12,758 --> 00:44:14,801
Yes.
706
00:44:15,677 --> 00:44:17,637
He is.
707
00:44:24,477 --> 00:44:27,272
[blues playing]
708
00:44:27,397 --> 00:44:30,776
- I'll take an iced tea if you have any.
- We don't.
709
00:44:34,905 --> 00:44:38,575
I wish I didn't have to keep coming
through back doors like this.
710
00:44:38,700 --> 00:44:41,453
Well, we wouldn't want our
friends in the fourth estate
711
00:44:41,578 --> 00:44:44,123
to know you were here, would we?
Especially since you've gone
712
00:44:44,248 --> 00:44:49,044
to such lengths to remain
above the fray of politics.
713
00:44:49,169 --> 00:44:51,713
You can't seize
the plants, Frank.
714
00:44:51,838 --> 00:44:53,590
We haven't seized anything yet.
715
00:44:53,715 --> 00:44:56,468
We're ready to, but we won't...
if you cooperate.
716
00:44:56,593 --> 00:44:59,096
- It's illegal.
- It's not. You know that.
717
00:44:59,221 --> 00:45:03,100
The president can issue an executive
order in times of emergency.
718
00:45:03,225 --> 00:45:06,478
- I'll fight it in court.
- Which will take even longer than a FERC investigation would.
719
00:45:06,603 --> 00:45:10,649
And in the meantime, you make
nothing from those plants.
720
00:45:10,774 --> 00:45:14,861
We agreed, right here
in this room,
721
00:45:14,987 --> 00:45:17,990
we agreed to work together.
We agreed as men of our word.
722
00:45:18,115 --> 00:45:20,784
And I held up my end of that
bargain until you abandoned me--
723
00:45:20,909 --> 00:45:22,619
I sent Remy to help you.
724
00:45:22,744 --> 00:45:25,164
After I got it passed through the
Senate, with no help from you.
725
00:45:25,289 --> 00:45:26,999
I had to protect my relationship
with the president.
726
00:45:27,124 --> 00:45:29,793
And then you tried to use me
during the summit in Spotsylvania.
727
00:45:29,918 --> 00:45:34,047
I was not put on this earth
to be your best friend,
728
00:45:34,173 --> 00:45:37,884
or to share every piece
of information I have with you.
729
00:45:38,010 --> 00:45:42,931
We agreed to a mutually
beneficial partnership,
730
00:45:43,056 --> 00:45:44,348
that's all.
731
00:45:46,226 --> 00:45:49,562
Yes, and what's
become very clear to me
732
00:45:49,688 --> 00:45:52,899
is that I benefit in no way
from this partnership.
733
00:45:53,025 --> 00:45:54,901
Let's not pretend to be naive.
734
00:45:55,027 --> 00:45:59,072
We both respect self-interest
above all else.
735
00:45:59,198 --> 00:46:05,787
Our versions of that
no longer align.
736
00:46:05,912 --> 00:46:11,126
You are on the verge of making an
irreversible mistake, Mr. Vice President.
737
00:46:11,251 --> 00:46:16,840
I may well be making a mistake.
Who knows?
738
00:46:16,965 --> 00:46:20,093
What I do know is that you'll be
calling Linda and telling her
739
00:46:20,219 --> 00:46:22,595
that you'll accept
the subsidies.
740
00:46:22,721 --> 00:46:27,934
You may have all the money, Raymond,
but I have all the men with guns.
741
00:46:28,060 --> 00:46:30,394
It's a burner.
Pre-dialed. She's expecting.
742
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,816
Oh, and uh, yes...
from last night.
743
00:46:34,941 --> 00:46:39,154
The ball's in your court,
as they say.
744
00:46:39,279 --> 00:46:41,990
[distant siren]
745
00:46:56,629 --> 00:47:00,175
Oh, Jesus Christ!
You scared the shit out of me.
746
00:47:01,884 --> 00:47:05,471
Are you supposed to take the
Lord's name in vain like that?
747
00:47:05,597 --> 00:47:07,890
- Leave it on.
- [Rachel] Costs too much.
748
00:47:08,016 --> 00:47:10,643
I'll take care of it.
749
00:47:14,773 --> 00:47:18,318
Goodwin took the plea.
He's going away.
750
00:47:18,442 --> 00:47:22,697
- So does that mean this is all over?
- No.
751
00:47:22,822 --> 00:47:25,617
- We still have to be careful.
- Well, why?
752
00:47:25,742 --> 00:47:27,869
If he's gone, then nobody's
looking for me, right?
753
00:47:27,994 --> 00:47:31,039
Not that we know of.
Until we know, nothing changes.
754
00:47:31,164 --> 00:47:33,041
So what, you just came over here
to get my hopes up?
755
00:47:33,166 --> 00:47:36,878
I came here to make sure that
you don't go to church tonight.
756
00:47:44,677 --> 00:47:47,097
Do you want to fuck me?
757
00:47:51,726 --> 00:47:54,813
- Is that what this is all about?
- No.
758
00:47:54,938 --> 00:47:58,233
- You've done it before.
- That was different.
759
00:48:07,742 --> 00:48:09,619
Stop it.
760
00:48:13,581 --> 00:48:17,043
If there's one thing I know,
it's when a man wants me.
761
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:34,894
I learned who Rachel
was in church.
762
00:48:36,355 --> 00:48:39,107
She was young and beautiful.
763
00:48:39,232 --> 00:48:42,944
Jacob fell in love with her while
she was watering a lamb and...
764
00:48:43,069 --> 00:48:48,868
...she became his wife after he worked
seven years to earn her hand in marriage.
765
00:48:50,660 --> 00:48:56,208
Rachel had one son, Joseph.
766
00:48:56,333 --> 00:48:59,085
He became a king.
767
00:49:03,923 --> 00:49:06,051
Are you hungry?
768
00:49:16,004 --> 00:49:20,635
