1
00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:04,627
[man] We have a president
who not only took
2
00:00:04,628 --> 00:00:06,671
mind-altering medication, a man
who has his finger on the button
3
00:00:06,672 --> 00:00:08,841
while US ships
are squaring off with China,
4
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:12,054
but then instructed his White
House counsel to coach a--
5
00:00:12,055 --> 00:00:16,432
- Allegedly, sir, not proven.
- To coach a witness.
6
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:19,350
Which is behavior either resulting
from the use of those drugs,
7
00:00:19,351 --> 00:00:22,104
or worse, a deliberate attempt
to obstruct the law.
8
00:00:22,105 --> 00:00:24,940
Wouldn't you call
either scenario impeachable?
9
00:00:24,941 --> 00:00:27,943
That's for the United States
Congress to decide, sir, not me.
10
00:00:27,944 --> 00:00:30,611
Were you aware that the president
was taking any form of medication?
11
00:00:30,612 --> 00:00:34,282
- No, I was not.
- Did you notice him acting in a bizarre fashion?
12
00:00:34,283 --> 00:00:36,078
- Unstable, incoherent?
- [Linda] No, sir.
13
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:38,412
- Any odd behavior?
- No, sir.
14
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:41,917
Not even firing his chief of staff
in the midst of a trade war?
15
00:00:41,918 --> 00:00:44,169
He didn't fire me. I resigned.
16
00:00:44,170 --> 00:00:48,840
- Would you tell us why?
- I resigned because I felt
17
00:00:48,841 --> 00:00:51,925
I could no longer serve the president
to the best of my ability.
18
00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:54,972
And what changed? How did you
come to that conclusion?
19
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:59,474
I had some fundamental
differences of opinion
20
00:00:59,475 --> 00:01:01,478
with certain people
in the White House.
21
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,064
- Like who? The president?
- No, sir.
22
00:01:04,065 --> 00:01:06,315
What "certain people" then?
23
00:01:06,316 --> 00:01:08,818
One person, actually.
The vice president.
24
00:01:08,819 --> 00:01:12,197
- Frank Underwood.
- He wanted you gone?
25
00:01:12,198 --> 00:01:15,865
I can't speak as to what the vice
president did or didn't want.
26
00:01:15,866 --> 00:01:20,538
Was he trying to hide anything? Was
he afraid you might expose something?
27
00:01:20,539 --> 00:01:22,498
You'd have to ask him, sir.
28
00:01:22,499 --> 00:01:25,250
What's happening in the
Judiciary Committee is a farce.
29
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:29,048
- The Republicans are exploiting--
- Excuse me, Mr. Vice President,
30
00:01:29,049 --> 00:01:31,340
but it's not just Republicans.
31
00:01:31,341 --> 00:01:35,593
A number of Democrats have come out
saying they would support impeachment.
32
00:01:35,594 --> 00:01:38,180
Including the majority whip,
Jackie Sharp.
33
00:01:38,181 --> 00:01:41,975
Which is egregious, since the committee
hasn't stopped hearing testimony,
34
00:01:41,976 --> 00:01:44,769
nor has the special prosecutor
completed her investigation.
35
00:01:44,770 --> 00:01:46,896
You vigorously
defend the president,
36
00:01:46,897 --> 00:01:49,399
but there are reports that
you've had a falling out,
37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
- that you haven't spoken in weeks.
- That is simply not true.
38
00:01:52,361 --> 00:01:54,904
I've spoken to senior staff
at the White House
39
00:01:54,905 --> 00:01:58,908
who say the president is worried you
want to run against him in 2016.
40
00:01:58,909 --> 00:02:01,911
And just today Linda Vasquez
intimated that you--
41
00:02:01,912 --> 00:02:05,373
Look, I fully expect that
the president will run in 2016,
42
00:02:05,374 --> 00:02:08,751
and I hope that he's generous enough
to invite me to be his running mate.
43
00:02:08,752 --> 00:02:11,379
Impeachment, conviction,
let's say it happens.
44
00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:13,464
It won't.
He's completely innocent.
45
00:02:13,465 --> 00:02:15,508
Let's say it does happen.
You become president--
46
00:02:15,509 --> 00:02:17,552
That is not a scenario
I'm going to entertain.
47
00:02:17,553 --> 00:02:19,929
The thought must
have crossed your mind.
48
00:02:19,930 --> 00:02:23,683
And one could make the argument that the
president wouldn't be in this predicament
49
00:02:23,684 --> 00:02:28,020
if it weren't for you. It's your staff's
involvement with Feng and Lanagin
50
00:02:28,021 --> 00:02:30,398
that expanded Dunbar's
investigation,
51
00:02:30,399 --> 00:02:32,859
- which resulted in the travel logs--
- These impeachment hearings
52
00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:35,320
are the result
of political maneuvering, not--
53
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:37,199
Your maneuverings,
or the Republicans?
54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,493
Morley, I've always liked you.
You ask the tough questions.
55
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:43,621
And you can certainly
question my judgment,
56
00:02:43,622 --> 00:02:46,082
but do not question
my patriotism.
57
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:50,002
I serve this nation
and my president, not myself.
58
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:53,339
- He's lying through his teeth.
- [Linda] What we're doing is working.
59
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,299
We keep the whisper
campaign alive.
60
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,925
We spin him as power hungry,
as duplicitous.
61
00:02:57,926 --> 00:03:00,470
- Focus attention on him, not you.
- What's the latest?
62
00:03:00,471 --> 00:03:05,227
- Twenty percent?
- Zogby has you at 24. Your speech made a difference.
63
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:09,356
The approval numbers are
moving in the right direction.
64
00:03:09,357 --> 00:03:12,649
We need to do more
than play the spin game.
65
00:03:12,650 --> 00:03:14,902
We need to destroy Frank.
66
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:17,739
Offer his head instead of mine.
67
00:03:18,948 --> 00:03:21,159
- We use Raymond Tusk.
- How?
68
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,745
At his hearing.
When he goes to the judiciary.
69
00:03:24,746 --> 00:03:28,039
Sir, you're already being
accused of coaching one witness.
70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,459
- If you take steps to coach another--
- Not coaching. The truth.
71
00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:33,253
Raymond admits
to the money laundering,
72
00:03:33,254 --> 00:03:36,217
puts Frank at the center of
this, and says I knew nothing.
73
00:03:36,218 --> 00:03:39,260
And then we'll reward him
for his honesty.
74
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:41,012
You mean a pardon?
75
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:47,518
- I want you to talk to him.
- And put myself at risk?
76
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:49,769
You're not part of this
administration anymore.
77
00:03:49,770 --> 00:03:53,066
There's no law that says you
can't pay Raymond Tusk a visit.
78
00:03:53,067 --> 00:03:58,571
And in return, resignations
don't have to last forever.
79
00:04:01,325 --> 00:04:06,287
If I do this, you have to
be a million miles away.
80
00:04:06,288 --> 00:04:08,123
Tricia and I will
go to Camp David.
81
00:04:08,124 --> 00:04:14,044
It's not a million miles away,
but it'll do the job.
82
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:15,962
I can go after Linda,
dig into her past--
83
00:04:15,963 --> 00:04:18,631
[Frank] Neutralizing her won't
neutralize the bigger problem.
84
00:04:18,632 --> 00:04:21,761
- The president is after blood.
- Then what's his move?
85
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:25,681
He can't ask me to resign,
he'd have to force me out.
86
00:04:25,682 --> 00:04:29,977
And to do that, if I were him...
87
00:04:29,978 --> 00:04:32,895
...I would return
to the hand that first fed me.
88
00:04:32,896 --> 00:04:35,064
- Raymond Tusk?
- [Frank] Exactly.
89
00:04:35,065 --> 00:04:37,445
He'd have to implicate himself
to implicate you.
90
00:04:37,446 --> 00:04:39,362
Not if he gets a pardon.
91
00:04:39,363 --> 00:04:42,906
It's the one thing that only
a president can offer.
92
00:04:42,907 --> 00:04:44,907
Tusk is a hand grenade.
If he pardons him--
93
00:04:44,908 --> 00:04:46,410
You're right.
Tusk is a hand grenade.
94
00:04:46,411 --> 00:04:48,494
We need to pull the pin
and throw him at Walker
95
00:04:48,495 --> 00:04:51,499
before Walker pulls the pin
and throws him at us.
96
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,336
I want to meet with Raymond.
One-on-one.
97
00:04:54,337 --> 00:04:56,378
Let me speak on your behalf.
That way if anyone finds out--
98
00:04:56,379 --> 00:04:59,465
I know Raymond. He won't
respond to anyone but me.
99
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:02,844
- When's his hearing scheduled?
- Day after tomorrow.
100
00:05:02,845 --> 00:05:05,596
- Two p.m.
- That gives us...
101
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:09,559
- ...40 hours to make it happen.
- [Doug] Yes, sir.

[cell phone vibrating]
104
00:06:57,208 --> 00:06:59,210
I think it's mine.
105
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,925
Seth, it's four in the morning.
106
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:09,762
- When?
- I want you to go with her.
107
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:11,347
I'll get it cleared right now.
108
00:07:11,348 --> 00:07:13,349
Thank you.
109
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:17,477
Meechum says the plane
will be ready in 30 minutes.
110
00:07:17,478 --> 00:07:20,688
- OK, good.
- Think it was just a panic attack,
111
00:07:20,689 --> 00:07:22,523
- or was she really trying--
- I don't know.
112
00:07:22,524 --> 00:07:24,817
It was bad enough they felt
they had to keep her overnight.
113
00:07:24,818 --> 00:07:26,444
I'm gonna call the White
House physician's office,
114
00:07:26,445 --> 00:07:28,281
- see if they can recommend anyone.
- OK.
115
00:07:28,282 --> 00:07:31,785
- Oh, wait, my phone.
- It's in your hand.
116
00:07:33,411 --> 00:07:35,914
I'll be back sometime tonight.
117
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:39,792
Impeachment is our only chance.
118
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:43,169
Here are the seats that are still
in contention in the midterms.
119
00:07:43,170 --> 00:07:47,384
These 13 we're gonna lose, no matter what we do.
But even if we win all the rest,
120
00:07:47,385 --> 00:07:50,761
that only leaves us
with a five-seat majority.
121
00:07:50,762 --> 00:07:53,137
We either save the party
or we save the president.
122
00:07:53,138 --> 00:07:55,390
Anyone who votes
against impeachment
123
00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:58,684
is gonna get pummeled by attack
ads between now and election day.
124
00:07:58,685 --> 00:08:01,439
- How many do you have already?
- We need 18.
125
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,193
- I have six.
- So 12 more to go.
126
00:08:06,194 --> 00:08:10,447
Look, Donald,
I know this is a big ask,
127
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:14,827
- and you prefer to focus on policy--
- Jackie, you can stop.
128
00:08:14,828 --> 00:08:17,246
- I'm on board.
- Really?
129
00:08:17,247 --> 00:08:19,540
One hundred percent.
130
00:08:19,541 --> 00:08:21,749
I have to say
I'm a little surprised.
131
00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:23,795
When you rolled those dollies
into the cloakroom,
132
00:08:23,796 --> 00:08:28,757
you said, "Work with me,
I'm not Frank Underwood."
133
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:33,847
And then you helped get my stimulus
package through, just like you promised.
134
00:08:35,473 --> 00:08:37,684
And what do you
expect this time?
135
00:08:37,685 --> 00:08:40,769
That you never
become Frank Underwood.
136
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:44,647
You must realize, if we're
successful, he will replace Walker.
137
00:08:44,648 --> 00:08:48,818
I don't like Frank, but I hate
being in the minority even more.
138
00:08:48,819 --> 00:08:51,614
We can't let the Republicans
control both houses of Congress.
139
00:08:51,615 --> 00:08:55,284
You've changed
since I joined the leadership.
140
00:08:55,285 --> 00:08:59,079
Just getting better
at playing the game.
141
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,332
I guess you can teach
an old liberal new tricks.
142
00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:03,042
[laughs]
143
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:05,295
I guess so.
144
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:08,881
So tell me who you still need.
145
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:13,010
My lawyers are saying fifty-fifty
that I survive a trial.
146
00:09:13,011 --> 00:09:17,597
Now, I'm not a big fan of those
odds, but I'm willing to take them.
147
00:09:17,598 --> 00:09:20,016
If your lawyers are
putting it at a coin toss,
148
00:09:20,017 --> 00:09:22,602
then you're paying them too
much to be overly optimistic.
149
00:09:22,603 --> 00:09:25,938
How can I trust Garrett? He turned
his back on 20 years of friendship.
150
00:09:25,939 --> 00:09:27,567
He could accuse you
of the same.
151
00:09:30,987 --> 00:09:36,408
Nobody on this planet wants to see Frank
Underwood go to jail more than I do.
152
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:38,703
I just don't want to be
sharing a cell with him.
153
00:09:38,704 --> 00:09:40,621
That won't happen.
154
00:09:40,622 --> 00:09:44,208
All you've given me
to go on is Garrett's word.
155
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:46,459
He's asking you
to tell the truth.
156
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:48,837
Good things happen to those
who do the right thing.
157
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:51,632
[laughs]
158
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:55,968
[sighs] And you just expect Frank
to lie down, throw in the towel?
159
00:09:55,969 --> 00:09:59,307
We don't even give him the chance.
Your testimony knocks him out cold.
160
00:09:59,308 --> 00:10:02,519
- [knocking on door]
- Excuse me.
161
00:10:06,814 --> 00:10:09,483
Yes? Oh, thank you.
162
00:10:09,484 --> 00:10:11,194
Hold on.
163
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:15,031
There you go.
164
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:30,921
Care package, from my wife.
165
00:10:33,717 --> 00:10:36,885
Now, you were saying.
166
00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:40,389
[thunder rumbles]
167
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:43,810
I just want to warn you,
she's not herself right now.
168
00:10:43,811 --> 00:10:46,936
They had to put her
on some heavy doses.
169
00:10:46,937 --> 00:10:49,856
- Of what?
- Lithium, mostly.
170
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:53,110
It was either that
or commit her for 30 days.
171
00:10:53,111 --> 00:10:56,989
She just took some,
so she might be a little...
172
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:05,873
Megan?
173
00:11:27,645 --> 00:11:29,564
Stop.
174
00:11:41,493 --> 00:11:46,747
Your mom told me
they found you in the lake.
175
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:50,877
- What do you care?
- I care very much.
176
00:11:53,296 --> 00:11:55,256
No, you don't.
177
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,636
You don't use
somebody you care about.
178
00:12:05,974 --> 00:12:08,227
Whore.
179
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,103
Slut.
180
00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:12,607
Bitch.
181
00:12:13,316 --> 00:12:16,025
Traitor.
182
00:12:16,026 --> 00:12:18,612
That's what they call me,
183
00:12:18,613 --> 00:12:22,200
in my mail, online.
184
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:26,412
I wish I had never called.
185
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:29,122
I wish I had never met you.
186
00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:35,044
I feel so stupid, believing what you
told me, thinking that you did care.
187
00:12:35,045 --> 00:12:38,799
I was getting better.
188
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,093
You did this to me.
189
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:48,809
Every time I take one
of these, I think of him.
190
00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:51,311
And the next face I think of?
191
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:53,648
It's yours.
192
00:12:57,527 --> 00:13:01,406
I'm sorry that you felt used.
193
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:04,534
You weren't.
194
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:08,913
I just, um...
195
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:16,670
Like I told you, the political
landscape shifted and we...
196
00:13:16,671 --> 00:13:19,340
...found...
197
00:13:23,344 --> 00:13:25,763
Megan?
198
00:13:25,764 --> 00:13:28,433
[thunder rumbles]
199
00:13:41,362 --> 00:13:44,741
- [Claire] Hello?
- I got your text.
200
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:48,743
I know I shouldn't be reaching
out to you, but I thought--
201
00:13:48,744 --> 00:13:50,037
[Tricia] No,
that doesn't matter.
202
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:52,415
I'm glad you did. How is she?
203
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,919
In bad shape.
204
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,923
I'm surprised they even let her out
of the hospital, to be honest.
205
00:13:59,924 --> 00:14:02,466
Is there anything I can do?
206
00:14:02,467 --> 00:14:04,176
Should I contact her family,
207
00:14:04,177 --> 00:14:06,804
or go out there myself?
208
00:14:06,805 --> 00:14:09,723
We should probably
leave her alone.
209
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:14,478
- Are you OK?
- I'm fine.
210
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:18,982
- How about you?
- Holding up.
211
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:22,821
I spent the whole day
talking to lawyers.
212
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:26,532
It's hard on the kids.
213
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:31,119
They're embarrassed, and frightened,
but we'll get through it.
214
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,791
I thought the speech you and
Garrett gave was very moving.
215
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:38,044
Well, it seems
to have helped some.
216
00:14:38,045 --> 00:14:41,046
I was inspired by you, actually.
217
00:14:41,047 --> 00:14:44,967
When you admitted
to the abortion on TV.
218
00:14:44,968 --> 00:14:48,054
The truth is a powerful thing.
219
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:56,144
Tricia, I want... to apologize.
220
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:58,146
What for?
221
00:14:58,147 --> 00:15:00,315
I feel partly responsible
for everything
222
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:02,736
your family is going through.
223
00:15:04,654 --> 00:15:08,532
It was my suggestion
that you get counseling.
224
00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:11,368
And had I known then,
I never would have said a word.
225
00:15:11,369 --> 00:15:15,956
Claire, please.
Counseling was a godsend.
226
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:21,044
Garrett and I needed help, and it's made things better.
I should be thanking you.
227
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:23,713
And thank you for letting me
know about Megan.
228
00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:25,842
It was kind of you
to make that trip.
229
00:15:25,843 --> 00:15:29,218
You're a good person, Claire.
230
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:31,388
Be well.
231
00:15:39,814 --> 00:15:44,151
[sobbing]
232

233
00:16:24,358 --> 00:16:27,821
[woman singing opera]
234
00:16:58,225 --> 00:17:00,770
[opera continues faintly
in background]
235
00:17:22,834 --> 00:17:25,879
[Raymond] I take it
this is about my hearing?
236
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,755
[Frank] Did Walker
get to you first?
237
00:17:28,756 --> 00:17:29,923
[Raymond] Barely.
238
00:17:29,924 --> 00:17:33,177
But sometimes barely is enough.
239
00:17:33,178 --> 00:17:35,594
[Frank] I'm sure he
offered you a pardon.
240
00:17:35,595 --> 00:17:38,432
Always better to offer something
your competitor can't.
241
00:17:40,642 --> 00:17:44,270
- Oh, but I can.
- Hm.
242
00:17:44,271 --> 00:17:48,776
Last time I read the Constitution, the
most a vice president could offer
243
00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:51,652
was a... smile and wink.
244
00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:55,824
I think I've proven that I'm
not your typical vice president.
245
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:58,534
Typical or not,
you've lost, Frank.
246
00:17:58,535 --> 00:18:01,246
I have an out. You don't.
247
00:18:01,247 --> 00:18:05,084
Garrett will not
survive impeachment.
248
00:18:05,085 --> 00:18:10,255
If there's one skill you can't deny,
it's my ability to whip votes.
249
00:18:10,256 --> 00:18:13,549
In the House, not in the Senate.
250
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:16,635
Which the Constitution
makes me the president of.
251
00:18:16,636 --> 00:18:18,597
And you saw what
I did with entitlement.
252
00:18:18,598 --> 00:18:23,144
Hubris is giving you delusions
of grandeur, Frank.
253
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,064
Let's say Walker squeaks by.
254
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:28,982
Yes, you get your pardon,
255
00:18:28,983 --> 00:18:31,234
but you've bound yourself
at the hip to a man
256
00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:33,779
- who has zero political capital.
- [door slams]
257
00:18:37,741 --> 00:18:40,786
And if he gets convicted,
we all go to jail.
258
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:44,790
- There's no pardon for anyone.
- I'll roll the dice.
259
00:18:48,377 --> 00:18:52,131
Raymond, think
like a businessman.
260
00:18:52,132 --> 00:18:56,093
Haven't you built a fortune
by minimizing risk?
261
00:18:56,094 --> 00:18:58,972
Isn't that why you stacked
Congress all these years,
262
00:18:58,973 --> 00:19:04,017
why you guided Garrett to the Oval
and why you kept me on as whip?
263
00:19:04,018 --> 00:19:07,895
Walker is a junk bond
quickly depreciating,
264
00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:12,399
whereas I can end the conflict with
China and keep you in the black.
265
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,487
You can't promise better
relations with China.
266
00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:19,449
I wrecked them,
I can repair them.
267
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:25,706
Now, let's work together,
as we always intended to do.
268
00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:40,554
When they put you in that box
barely bigger than a coffin...
269
00:19:43,183 --> 00:19:47,394
...remember how beautiful
the music was tonight.
270
00:19:49,272 --> 00:19:52,566
It might give you
some small degree of comfort.
271
00:19:56,487 --> 00:20:01,367
Puccini's a downer. I prefer
something much more optimistic.
272
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:02,993
[opera continues in background]
273
00:20:02,994 --> 00:20:07,374
[Frank humming
"Hail to the Chief"]
274
00:20:09,958 --> 00:20:13,752
- [Green] They won't touch Brown. The trial date is set.
- [techno plays]
275
00:20:13,753 --> 00:20:17,047
- They can reduce the charges.
- Dallas won't give.
276
00:20:17,048 --> 00:20:20,094
If I keep pressing,
it'll start to look suspect.
277
00:20:20,095 --> 00:20:24,181
What I can do is make sure
you don't get prosecuted.
278
00:20:24,182 --> 00:20:27,226
- And I stop working for you.
- Not quite.
279
00:20:27,227 --> 00:20:30,435
I told the US attorney that we
wanted to bring you on with us,
280
00:20:30,436 --> 00:20:35,065
- cyberterrorism division. You'd get a clean slate--
- No fucking way.
281
00:20:35,066 --> 00:20:38,403
They're not gonna let your case go
unless we give them a compelling reason.
282
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:40,363
- There's no--
- I've spent half of my life
283
00:20:40,364 --> 00:20:43,073
- fighting the bureau.
- It's the only way I could sell it.
284
00:20:43,074 --> 00:20:47,162
Take this opportunity, Gavin,
before they change their minds.
285
00:20:47,163 --> 00:20:49,747
I want to meet
with Douglas Stamper.
286
00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:54,001
No. The deal was
I find you a way out--
287
00:20:54,002 --> 00:20:56,586
No, the deal was you help out
Brown and give me my freedom.
288
00:20:56,587 --> 00:20:59,591
You haven't done shit for Brown and you
want me to keep me under your thumb.
289
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:02,845
So I meet Stamper,
or any kind of deal is off.
290
00:21:05,390 --> 00:21:08,558
[rowing machine whirring]
291
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:10,769
[door slams]
292
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:19,193
Raymond said no.
293
00:21:19,194 --> 00:21:22,112
He said neither yes nor no.
I'll keep the pressure on.
294
00:21:22,113 --> 00:21:25,907
- So he could still name you.
- He could. Anything's possible.
295
00:21:25,908 --> 00:21:27,993
- You have to stop him.
- I'm trying.
296
00:21:27,994 --> 00:21:29,911
Trying's not enough, Francis.
297
00:21:29,912 --> 00:21:31,999
Well, I can't sit next
to him in the hearing room
298
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,583
with a gun to his head.
299
00:21:33,584 --> 00:21:35,834
- That sounds like an excuse.
- It's a reality.
300
00:21:35,835 --> 00:21:39,171
You promised me I wasn't going to
have to prepare for the worst.
301
00:21:39,172 --> 00:21:41,882
- And I intend to keep that promise.
- Well, I want to be sure.
302
00:21:41,883 --> 00:21:44,509
- I want both of us to be sure.
- The only surefire way
303
00:21:44,510 --> 00:21:48,307
- is for Walker to call him off personally.
- Then make that happen.
304
00:21:48,308 --> 00:21:53,978
I cannot force a man who thinks I'm his
enemy to suddenly call me his friend.
305
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:57,483
I've done what I had to do.
306
00:21:57,484 --> 00:22:00,568
Now you do what you have to do.
307
00:22:00,569 --> 00:22:03,154
Seduce him.
Give him your heart.
308
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:07,493
Cut it out and put it
in his fucking hands.
309
00:22:07,494 --> 00:22:09,454
[door slams]
310
00:23:15,602 --> 00:23:17,563
[Frank] Dear Mr. President.
311
00:23:17,564 --> 00:23:21,356
I'm writing you on an Underwood
portable my father gave me
312
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,191
when I left for the Sentinel.
313
00:23:23,192 --> 00:23:26,321
It was the words my father said
when he gave it to me
314
00:23:26,322 --> 00:23:32,243
that resonated even more
than this 70-year-old machine.
315
00:23:32,244 --> 00:23:35,455
"This Underwood built
an empire," he said.
316
00:23:35,456 --> 00:23:39,000
"Now you go
and build one of your own."
317
00:23:39,001 --> 00:23:43,922
Those words have been a large part
of what has motivated my life.
318
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:49,094
I've only written one other
letter with these keys.
319
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:51,262
It did not fail me then.
320
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:55,141
I hope it will not fail me now.
321
00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:57,478
You said I wanted
to diminish you.
322
00:23:57,479 --> 00:23:59,353
The truth is I don't.
323
00:23:59,354 --> 00:24:02,523
You said I wanted
to challenge you in 2016.
324
00:24:02,524 --> 00:24:04,567
The truth is I don't.
325
00:24:04,568 --> 00:24:06,779
You said I wanted
the presidency for myself.
326
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:12,533
The truth is... I do.
327
00:24:12,534 --> 00:24:15,162
What politician hasn't dreamed
about what it would be like
328
00:24:15,163 --> 00:24:18,831
to take the oath of the
highest office of our land?
329
00:24:18,832 --> 00:24:21,919
I've stared at your desk
in the Oval and coveted it.
330
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,420
The power. The prestige.
331
00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:28,091
Those things have a strong
pull on someone like me,
332
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:33,137
who came from a small South
Carolina town with nothing.
333
00:24:33,138 --> 00:24:38,059
But since you assumed office,
my only aim has been to fight,
334
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:40,103
for you and alongside you.
335
00:24:40,104 --> 00:24:42,731
Whether that be in Congress
or, as now,
336
00:24:42,732 --> 00:24:45,108
the battle over impeachment.
337
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:49,320
Maybe one day I'll have my
chance to serve as president.
338
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:52,782
But not while you
are the nation's leader.
339
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:56,994
And in you, sir,
I see a brave man.
340
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:58,871
A just man.
341
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:01,375
A president whom
I would follow anywhere,
342
00:25:01,376 --> 00:25:05,671
no matter how strong
the wind blows against us.
343
00:25:10,175 --> 00:25:13,804
I want to tell you something
I have never told anyone.
344
00:25:13,805 --> 00:25:17,515
When I was 13, I walked in
on my father in the barn.
345
00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:20,560
There was a shotgun
in his mouth.
346
00:25:20,561 --> 00:25:23,439
He waved me over.
"Come here, Francis," he said.
347
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,482
"Pull the trigger for me."
348
00:25:26,483 --> 00:25:29,526
Because he didn't have the
courage to do it himself.
349
00:25:29,527 --> 00:25:33,697
I said, "No, Pop," and walked out, knowing
he would never find that courage.
350
00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:36,410
The next seven years
were hell for my father,
351
00:25:36,411 --> 00:25:39,412
but even more hell
for my mother and me.
352
00:25:39,413 --> 00:25:44,751
He made all of us miserable,
drinking, despair, violence.
353
00:25:44,752 --> 00:25:47,086
My only regret in life
354
00:25:47,087 --> 00:25:49,714
is that I didn't
pull that trigger.
355
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:51,631
He would've been
better off in the grave,
356
00:25:51,632 --> 00:25:54,176
and we would have been
better off without him.
357
00:25:54,177 --> 00:25:56,305
I'm not going to put you
in the same position
358
00:25:56,306 --> 00:25:58,264
as my father put me in.
359
00:25:58,265 --> 00:26:02,477
You will find enclosed,
on a separate sheet,
360
00:26:02,478 --> 00:26:05,481
a confession to the crimes
you have been accused of.
361
00:26:05,482 --> 00:26:10,067
They're false words, but my
signature will make them true.
362
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:13,446
Use them if you must.
363
00:26:13,447 --> 00:26:17,200
If you truly believe
that I have only served myself,
364
00:26:17,201 --> 00:26:19,952
then I have forever
lost your trust.
365
00:26:19,953 --> 00:26:25,875
All I can do now is give you
my freedom to save your own.
366
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:28,087
I said I would
take the fall for you,
367
00:26:28,088 --> 00:26:31,714
and now I give you the means
to make that happen.
368
00:26:31,715 --> 00:26:35,134
I am pulling
the trigger myself.
369
00:26:35,135 --> 00:26:38,763
We all must make sacrifices
to achieve our dreams.
370
00:26:38,764 --> 00:26:42,601
But sometimes we must sacrifice
ourselves for the greater good.
371
00:26:42,602 --> 00:26:46,395
It is my honor to make
such a sacrifice now.
372
00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:50,067
Your loyal friend, still in my
heart, if not in yours...
373
00:26:50,068 --> 00:26:52,945
...Francis.
374
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:04,164
The Constitution sets forth
the general principle--
375
00:27:04,165 --> 00:27:06,750
Sir, the president's
on the phone.
376
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:24,684
- Mr. President.
- [Walker] I got your letter.
377
00:27:24,685 --> 00:27:27,771
I had Tricia read it too.
378
00:27:29,189 --> 00:27:31,190
I'm torn, Frank.
379
00:27:31,191 --> 00:27:33,318
Half of me wants to think
you're genuine.
380
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,612
The other half
doesn't trust a word of it.
381
00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:38,572
[Frank] Does Tricia
feel the same way?
382
00:27:38,573 --> 00:27:42,619
She believes in Claire, which
inclines her to believe in you.
383
00:27:42,620 --> 00:27:44,662
I meant every syllable.
384
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,914
I wanted you to know
beyond a shadow of a doubt
385
00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:50,501
that I'm willing to do
whatever is necessary.
386
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:53,546
Then why can't
I shake the shadow?
387
00:27:53,547 --> 00:27:56,591
Because I'm a liar, sir.
388
00:27:56,592 --> 00:28:00,427
Because I lack scruples and some
would even say compassion.
389
00:28:00,428 --> 00:28:03,390
But that's just the image
that I present to the world
390
00:28:03,391 --> 00:28:07,852
because it elicits fear and respect.
But it is not who I am.
391
00:28:07,853 --> 00:28:13,233
My hope was that my letter
would prove that to you.
392
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:16,736
Even if you are being genuine,
393
00:28:16,737 --> 00:28:19,946
that doesn't do much for me.
394
00:28:19,947 --> 00:28:23,786
I won't survive impeachment because
I got along with my vice president.
395
00:28:23,787 --> 00:28:28,456
No, I agree you need more
than my good intentions.
396
00:28:28,457 --> 00:28:32,085
Proof, that's what
I want to see, Frank.
397
00:28:32,086 --> 00:28:36,839
Not just falling on the sword.
Show me results,
398
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,676
and then I'll reconsider whether
you're worth any of my trust at all.
399
00:28:39,677 --> 00:28:44,138
- You're talking votes.
- Whipping votes is your strong suit.
400
00:28:44,139 --> 00:28:46,556
That's the side
of you I want to see.
401
00:28:46,557 --> 00:28:49,518
- I've already begun, sir.
- You have a count?
402
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,895
An approximation,
the sands keep shifting.
403
00:28:51,896 --> 00:28:55,524
- Can we survive the House or not?
- Possibly. But Jackie Sharp
404
00:28:55,525 --> 00:28:58,151
- is making it very difficult.
- Give me numbers.
405
00:28:58,152 --> 00:29:00,278
Over half of the 18
that she needs,
406
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:03,156
which is why I'd like to start
focusing on the Senate.
407
00:29:03,157 --> 00:29:06,159
- Don't you think that's premature?
- We should be prepared.
408
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,748
The key battle is making sure
that you avoid conviction.
409
00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:13,251
You keep whipping,
410
00:29:13,252 --> 00:29:17,171
you keep getting me information,
I'll answer your calls.
411
00:29:17,172 --> 00:29:20,884
But don't take that as a sign
of reconciliation, Frank.
412
00:29:20,885 --> 00:29:25,971
I'll sing for my supper, sir.
I don't expect it for free.
413
00:29:25,972 --> 00:29:31,853
- Let's talk again tomorrow.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
414
00:29:31,854 --> 00:29:34,646
- You said you wanted options.
- Frank didn't leave me options.
415
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:37,691
- He fucked me.
- You fucked him first, when you sided with Tusk.
416
00:29:37,692 --> 00:29:39,568
But who cares what
happened each inning?
417
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:41,738
It's the final
score that counts.
418
00:29:41,739 --> 00:29:45,575
Eight years I spent
busting my ass in this office,
419
00:29:45,576 --> 00:29:48,618
- I can't seem to escape it.
- Are you going to help us or not?
420
00:29:48,619 --> 00:29:50,956
- I need to know what I gain.
- You'll be taken care of.
421
00:29:50,957 --> 00:29:53,039
Specifically.
422
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,585
We'll see what makes sense
when all the chips have fallen.
423
00:29:56,586 --> 00:29:59,796
So you just want me to leap off a cliff
and hope for a soft landing beneath?
424
00:29:59,797 --> 00:30:02,632
No one will touch you now.
Nobody except us.
425
00:30:02,633 --> 00:30:04,386
We're as soft
as you're going to get.
426
00:30:04,387 --> 00:30:09,807
- A job at the White House?
- No promises.
427
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:14,771
Other than something commensurate
with your loyalty and experience.
428
00:30:14,772 --> 00:30:17,608
I could just walk away
from it all, start a new life.
429
00:30:17,609 --> 00:30:20,568
No, you can't.
You know you can't.
430
00:30:20,569 --> 00:30:23,110
You'd wither away anywhere
but the Hill.
431
00:30:23,111 --> 00:30:25,741
It's never been about the money,
no matter what you tell yourself.
432
00:30:25,742 --> 00:30:29,786
When I left,
Frank begged me to stay.
433
00:30:29,787 --> 00:30:34,457
Power vs. money, he said. Don't
reduce myself to a tax bracket.
434
00:30:34,458 --> 00:30:37,209
He was right.
And I doubt he begged.
435
00:30:37,210 --> 00:30:41,673
He was half right. Power is better
than money, for as long as it lasts.
436
00:30:41,674 --> 00:30:46,595
- But it never lasts.
- What's your answer?
437
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:56,312
You've gotten colder since
you've taken over this job.
438
00:30:59,065 --> 00:31:01,274
It makes things easier.
439
00:31:01,275 --> 00:31:05,948
- On the outside.
- And the inside.
440
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:10,243
I miss you, Jackie.
441
00:31:12,996 --> 00:31:15,541
Tell me if you'll cooperate.
442
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:22,004
[cell phone rings]
443
00:31:22,005 --> 00:31:24,049
[Linda] Excuse me one second.
444
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,717
Mr. President?
445
00:31:26,718 --> 00:31:29,761
[Walker] I want you to call
Tusk. Tell him the deal is off.
446
00:31:29,762 --> 00:31:31,262
- What?
- You were right.
447
00:31:31,263 --> 00:31:33,180
I don't want to take the risk.
448
00:31:33,181 --> 00:31:35,017
But I already spoke to him.
449
00:31:35,018 --> 00:31:36,937
Well, so speak to him again,
and tell him there's no pardon.
450
00:31:36,938 --> 00:31:40,731
Sir, I was skeptical
of this strategy at first,
451
00:31:40,732 --> 00:31:43,483
but now that we've gone down this
road, we should stick to it.
452
00:31:43,484 --> 00:31:45,946
Linda, do you
still want your job back?
453
00:31:45,947 --> 00:31:49,867
- Of course, sir.
- Then make the call.
454
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:58,039
I'd rather see what happens in the House
before I get involved in any way.
455
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,625
But if you come out vigorously
in defense of the president,
456
00:32:00,626 --> 00:32:02,209
it might convince
the judiciary committee--
457
00:32:02,210 --> 00:32:04,211
To be honest, I'm not
particularly inclined
458
00:32:04,212 --> 00:32:06,215
to be doing Walker any favors.
459
00:32:06,216 --> 00:32:10,011
Now, Michael, I know
he revoked your nomination.
460
00:32:10,012 --> 00:32:12,763
- He didn't fight for me at all.
- He had just been elected.
461
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:16,223
- He wasn't in a position--
- Wrong. He had a clear mandate.
462
00:32:16,224 --> 00:32:18,394
He was in a strong position
to defend me.
463
00:32:19,813 --> 00:32:22,648
You're right.
If I'd been president,
464
00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:24,523
I wouldn't have
given in so easily.
465
00:32:24,524 --> 00:32:27,569
I would've stuck by you after
that article came to light.
466
00:32:27,570 --> 00:32:31,072
In fact, if you'd been our secretary
of state instead of Durant,
467
00:32:31,073 --> 00:32:32,991
I don't think we'd be
in the mess we are with China.
468
00:32:32,992 --> 00:32:35,619
The truth is I wouldn't have
nominated you
469
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:37,203
for secretary of state
in the first place.
470
00:32:37,204 --> 00:32:38,412
I would have nominated you
471
00:32:38,413 --> 00:32:39,706
for secretary of treasury.
472
00:32:39,707 --> 00:32:41,499
Because your expertise
in economics
473
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:43,629
is even better than your grasp
on foreign affairs.
474
00:32:43,630 --> 00:32:47,633
Now, if I were president,
you'd be secretary of treasury.
475
00:32:48,884 --> 00:32:54,221
- If you were president.
- That's right.
476
00:32:54,222 --> 00:32:56,683
You can't do this.
477
00:32:57,726 --> 00:32:59,812
What happened?
478
00:33:02,522 --> 00:33:04,691
Was it Frank?
479
00:33:06,693 --> 00:33:08,862
Linda, listen to me--
480
00:33:13,199 --> 00:33:15,450
I understand.
481
00:33:15,451 --> 00:33:18,495
Thanks.
482
00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:21,289
- The deal is off.
- Did she say why?
483
00:33:21,290 --> 00:33:25,002
No. Other than
he changed his mind.
484
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:26,838
But it must be Frank.
485
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:29,421
- Then we go back to the original plan.
- That's right.
486
00:33:29,422 --> 00:33:32,008
You plead the Fifth, just like you did before.
This is political theater.
487
00:33:32,009 --> 00:33:33,592
- We get past it and focus--
- [man] Jesus Christ.
488
00:33:33,593 --> 00:33:36,220
- What is it?
- Remy Danton is volunteering
489
00:33:36,221 --> 00:33:38,389
to testify to Dunbar,
right now.
490
00:33:38,390 --> 00:33:40,476
He volunteered?
He wasn't subpoenaed?
491
00:33:40,477 --> 00:33:43,896
- Looks that way.
- He's going to sell me out.
492
00:33:43,897 --> 00:33:47,232
That would open
him up to prosecution.
493
00:33:47,233 --> 00:33:50,070
Unless he's being protected.
494
00:33:54,657 --> 00:33:59,747
- Where's Danton?
- I'll call his assistant.
495
00:34:01,832 --> 00:34:05,085
[man] Did you or did you not
facilitate foreign money
496
00:34:05,086 --> 00:34:09,797
being funneled into
political action committees?
497
00:34:09,798 --> 00:34:15,135
On the advice of my counsel, I reserve
my right to invoke the Fifth Amendment.
498
00:34:15,136 --> 00:34:19,057
Xander Feng claims you not only
facilitated, you orchestrated the scheme.
499
00:34:19,058 --> 00:34:23,186
What is your response
to that testimony?
500
00:34:23,187 --> 00:34:27,064
On the advice of my counsel,
I reserve my right--
501
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:29,900
[man] You can reserve your right
all day long, Mr. Tusk.
502
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:32,276
But when you appear
in front of a grand jury,
503
00:34:32,277 --> 00:34:34,905
as I'm sure the
justice department intends,
504
00:34:34,906 --> 00:34:36,990
your silence will
be your downfall.
505
00:34:36,991 --> 00:34:38,282
Does the Congressman
have a question?
506
00:34:38,283 --> 00:34:40,952
You can hide from us all
you want, sir,
507
00:34:40,953 --> 00:34:43,412
you cannot hide
from a jury of your peers.
508
00:34:43,413 --> 00:34:45,458
- Mr. Chairman.
- That's it. I'm done.
509
00:34:45,459 --> 00:34:48,543
I relinquish
the remainder of my time.
510
00:34:48,544 --> 00:34:52,797
The chair recognizes the congresswoman from Tennessee.
You have 12 minutes, ma'am.
511
00:34:52,798 --> 00:34:56,970
[woman] Mr. Tusk, our nation is currently
embroiled in a trade war with China.
512
00:34:56,971 --> 00:34:59,846
It has gutted our economy.
513
00:34:59,847 --> 00:35:02,682
It has placed our Navy
in harm's way.
514
00:35:02,683 --> 00:35:05,187
- The president who put us there has--
- He knew.
515
00:35:05,188 --> 00:35:08,231
- [crowd murmuring]
- [cameras clicking]
516
00:35:08,232 --> 00:35:11,315
- [woman] Excuse me?
- [lawyer] My client reserves the--
517
00:35:11,316 --> 00:35:13,987
He knew. Isn't that what
you're all wondering?
518
00:35:13,988 --> 00:35:15,695
[crowd murmuring]
519
00:35:15,696 --> 00:35:20,826
- [man] Quiet, please.
- [woman] Knew what, exactly?
520
00:35:20,827 --> 00:35:25,664
There was a mechanism by which a
great many contributions were made
521
00:35:25,665 --> 00:35:29,626
over the last ten years.
The legality of this mechanism
522
00:35:29,627 --> 00:35:35,134
is something I continue to believe
is within the boundaries of the law.
523
00:35:37,677 --> 00:35:41,347
[Raymond on TV] But as for the
mechanism itself, Mr. Feng is correct.
524
00:35:41,348 --> 00:35:46,726
I orchestrated it, I facilitated it,
and the President knew about it.
525
00:35:46,727 --> 00:35:49,105
Danton just cancelled.
526
00:35:49,106 --> 00:35:53,109
Screw Danton. We've got Tusk.
527
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:55,444
Get me the attorney general.
528
00:36:02,869 --> 00:36:06,537
[Dunbar] That won't be necessary,
Mr. Tusk, if you'll come with us.
529
00:36:06,538 --> 00:36:10,499
That's a shame. Handcuffs were
another item on my bucket list.
530
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:13,627
Right this way, sir. You have
the right to remain silent.
531
00:36:13,628 --> 00:36:15,754
Anything you say can
and will be used against you...
532
00:36:15,755 --> 00:36:19,552
We'll want a bond, for his
cooperation in the hearing.
533
00:36:19,553 --> 00:36:22,221
I'll talk bonds
if you'll talk a plea.
534
00:36:22,222 --> 00:36:25,598
Response to the testimony
has been swift and vocal.
535
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:28,976
Protesters have been gathering in front
of the White House since yesterday
536
00:36:28,977 --> 00:36:31,604
demanding President
Walker's resignation.
537
00:36:31,605 --> 00:36:36,153
And an online petition has already
accumulated over 200,000 signatures
538
00:36:36,154 --> 00:36:37,736
in the past 24 hours.
539
00:36:37,737 --> 00:36:40,155
The list of lawmakers
publicly condemning
540
00:36:40,156 --> 00:36:42,656
the president has grown
on both sides of the aisle.
541
00:36:42,657 --> 00:36:45,451
This afternoon, the Chinese
ambassador also condemned
542
00:36:45,452 --> 00:36:47,953
the Walker administration,
saying China would not
543
00:36:47,954 --> 00:36:50,082
negotiate with a president
who dealt
544
00:36:50,083 --> 00:36:52,625
with corrupt businessmen
behind Beijing's back.
545
00:36:52,626 --> 00:36:54,877
This at a time when warships
from both countries--
546
00:36:54,878 --> 00:36:58,422
Meanwhile, the president and First
Lady remain bunkered at Camp David,
547
00:36:58,423 --> 00:37:02,551
and have offered no public response to the
most recent developments in Washington.
548
00:37:02,552 --> 00:37:04,762
I'm here with Ayla Sayyad
of the Wall Street Telegraph.
549
00:37:04,763 --> 00:37:08,516
I have to begin by saying that
sources on the Hill are telling me
550
00:37:08,517 --> 00:37:12,019
that the Judiciary Committee
may bypass debate altogether.
551
00:37:12,020 --> 00:37:14,356
No one on the committee has
gone on record about that.
552
00:37:14,357 --> 00:37:16,941
But do you think these rumors would be
circulating if there weren't some sort
553
00:37:16,942 --> 00:37:20,237
of strong preference to recommend the
articles of impeachment to the House?
554
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:22,780
I think it's safe to assume
there is strong support.
555
00:37:22,781 --> 00:37:25,908
Every poll I've seen shows an
overwhelming majority of Americans
556
00:37:25,909 --> 00:37:28,786
want this to move forward. I don't think
politicians are going to ignore that.
557
00:37:28,787 --> 00:37:31,747
[Kern] I've talked to a number
of my colleagues already.
558
00:37:31,748 --> 00:37:33,833
There is support on my side
of the aisle.
559
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:36,752
- How many do you have?
- Five at this point, including me.
560
00:37:36,753 --> 00:37:39,547
That would put us at 60.
We'd still need seven more.
561
00:37:39,548 --> 00:37:43,801
You've seen the overnight polls. He's
dipped down into the single digits.
562
00:37:43,802 --> 00:37:46,388
Are you willing to make
a public statement with us?
563
00:37:46,389 --> 00:37:51,475
I think the country could use a little
bipartisanship right now, don't you?
564
00:37:51,476 --> 00:37:52,812
[Walker] Do you think
they're bluffing?
565
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:55,690
That it's some sort of stunt
566
00:37:55,691 --> 00:37:58,483
to sway the undecideds
in the Senate?
567
00:37:58,484 --> 00:38:01,236
Michael Kern is bitter
and small-minded, sir,
568
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:04,780
but he wouldn't have appeared publicly with
Mendoza if they didn't have the numbers.
569
00:38:04,781 --> 00:38:07,074
I imagine we're worse off in
the House than we were before.
570
00:38:07,075 --> 00:38:10,245
In fact, I had a very productive
conversation with Jackie Sharp.
571
00:38:10,246 --> 00:38:13,038
She agreed to stop the attack
if we give her our support
572
00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:17,001
for majority leader after the midterms,
but once Raymond gave his testimony,
573
00:38:17,002 --> 00:38:18,671
she called to say
the deal was off.
574
00:38:18,672 --> 00:38:21,466
Raymond really has set us back.
575
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:25,386
- I can't fathom why he lied.
- It's retribution.
576
00:38:25,387 --> 00:38:29,265
- For what? The energy crisis?
- No.
577
00:38:31,184 --> 00:38:35,187
Did you offer him something?
578
00:38:35,188 --> 00:38:38,022
Well, Raymond's testimony hurts,
but it can't finish us off.
579
00:38:38,023 --> 00:38:40,026
It's impossible to prove a lie.
580
00:38:40,027 --> 00:38:42,569
Impeachment is inevitable.
581
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:46,823
Public opinion is the adversary
now. Facts no longer matter.
582
00:38:46,824 --> 00:38:50,453
You should give Kern a call.
The personal touch.
583
00:38:50,454 --> 00:38:54,372
If he came back to us, it might make
the other Democrats get cold feet.
584
00:38:54,373 --> 00:39:00,044
China isn't helping. President Qian won't
return my calls. Beijing must smell death.
585
00:39:00,045 --> 00:39:02,838
They're just exploiting
the situation for leverage.
586
00:39:02,839 --> 00:39:07,303
Let's not worry about China for the moment.
One battle at a time, sir.
587
00:39:07,304 --> 00:39:10,222
Maybe I'm finished, Frank.
588
00:39:10,223 --> 00:39:13,433
Maybe I need to start accepting
that we won't pull out of this.
589
00:39:13,434 --> 00:39:17,812
Mr. President, I know you're tired.
I know this has been hell for you.
590
00:39:17,813 --> 00:39:20,773
And yes, impeachment
would be an awful blow.
591
00:39:20,774 --> 00:39:23,234
We'd have to fight tooth
and nail in the Senate.
592
00:39:23,235 --> 00:39:28,074
And yes, we'll have to beg and compromise
to regain our political capital.
593
00:39:28,075 --> 00:39:33,413
But we have it in us, sir, no matter
how many scars it leaves us with.
594
00:39:33,414 --> 00:39:35,664
It's not just us, Frank.
595
00:39:35,665 --> 00:39:38,917
It's Tricia, it's my children.
596
00:39:38,918 --> 00:39:44,339
I stay awake at night thinking
how much it would crush them,
597
00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:46,467
seeing their father hauled off.
598
00:39:46,468 --> 00:39:49,051
Sir, that won't happen,
because I won't let it.
599
00:39:49,052 --> 00:39:52,807
If we're confronted by the worst, I'll
make sure you never step foot behind bars.
600
00:39:52,808 --> 00:39:55,601
You have my word on that.
601
00:39:57,812 --> 00:40:02,023
He's in the darkness now. And
I'm the only beacon of light.
602
00:40:02,024 --> 00:40:05,652
Now we gently guide him
toward the rocks.
603
00:40:05,653 --> 00:40:09,030
Mr. President,
you also still have my letter.
604
00:40:09,031 --> 00:40:11,868
It's not too late,
if you want to use that option.
605
00:40:11,869 --> 00:40:15,704
You're more useful to me
on the Hill than in handcuffs.
606
00:40:15,705 --> 00:40:20,877
- [clears throat] I'll call Kern.
- Good night, sir.
607
00:40:43,065 --> 00:40:45,026
[clears throat]
608
00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:56,036
- How much did Green tell you?
- Enough that I showed up.
609
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:59,664
He probably didn't
mention Rachel Posner.
610
00:40:59,665 --> 00:41:03,251
Don't worry, he doesn't know.
611
00:41:03,252 --> 00:41:05,796
I do.
612
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:09,007
You have her in an
apartment in Joppa.
613
00:41:09,008 --> 00:41:12,427
I have your movements,
I have your text messages,
614
00:41:12,428 --> 00:41:16,140
before you destroyed your phone,
but that's more than enough.
615
00:41:16,141 --> 00:41:21,686
I'll bet a lot of people would
like to know what she knows.
616
00:41:21,687 --> 00:41:24,815
Now you listen
to me very carefully.
617
00:41:24,816 --> 00:41:29,861
Whatever you think you've got,
whatever you intend to do with it,
618
00:41:29,862 --> 00:41:34,032
I don't respond to extortion
the same way that Green does.
619
00:41:34,033 --> 00:41:37,327
What Green promised you...
620
00:41:37,328 --> 00:41:40,330
...it can be undone
in a heartbeat.
621
00:41:40,331 --> 00:41:43,251
That's why you're here,
to make sure it isn't.
622
00:41:47,171 --> 00:41:49,089
You want my protection.
623
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:52,343
I don't trust Green,
or anyone at the bureau.
624
00:41:56,013 --> 00:42:01,686
- Who else knows about this?
- No one.
625
00:42:04,564 --> 00:42:05,982
Why should I trust you?
626
00:42:07,275 --> 00:42:10,486
Cause we both
have too much to lose, man.
627
00:42:32,884 --> 00:42:35,135
Get dressed.
628
00:42:35,136 --> 00:42:39,056
- What are you doing here?
- Put some clothes on.
629
00:42:40,308 --> 00:42:43,769
- Why?
- Now. Let's go.
630
00:42:48,483 --> 00:42:51,943
Did anyone contact you?
631
00:42:51,944 --> 00:42:55,448
- Where are you taking me?
- Answer my question.
632
00:42:56,616 --> 00:42:59,035
No, nobody.
633
00:43:01,704 --> 00:43:04,539
There's someone
who knows about us,
634
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:07,000
who knows where you are,
635
00:43:07,001 --> 00:43:09,212
and when we've met.
636
00:43:12,548 --> 00:43:15,634
Are you gonna hurt me?
637
00:43:15,635 --> 00:43:18,513
Nothing's going to happen
if you tell the truth.
638
00:43:18,514 --> 00:43:21,974
I am. I haven't been
contacted by anybody.
639
00:43:23,643 --> 00:43:25,937
Stop lying, Rachel.
640
00:43:27,647 --> 00:43:30,105
I will do whatever you want.
Please, just don't hurt me--
641
00:43:30,106 --> 00:43:33,776
What I want is for you to answer
my questions, so I can help you.
642
00:43:33,777 --> 00:43:36,445
All you have ever done
is fuck up my life!
643
00:43:36,446 --> 00:43:38,864
You fucked up the Fellowship. You
fucked up what I had with Lisa!
644
00:43:38,865 --> 00:43:40,741
Even when I did what you asked!
645
00:43:40,742 --> 00:43:44,914
Your sick fucking visits and reading
to you like a fucking child!
646
00:43:44,915 --> 00:43:47,249
What is wrong with you?!
647
00:43:47,250 --> 00:43:50,211
Why can't you just leave me be?! Why
do you have to be such a fucking--
648
00:43:50,212 --> 00:43:52,380
Stop!
649
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:22,868
[grunts]
650
00:44:31,586 --> 00:44:34,421
[insects chirping]
651
00:44:34,422 --> 00:44:38,217
[Doug] Rachel? Don't be stupid.
652
00:44:47,518 --> 00:44:52,315
Rachel, everything's
going to be fine.
653
00:44:58,446 --> 00:45:01,490
All I've ever done
is try to protect you,
654
00:45:01,491 --> 00:45:03,743
what I'm trying to do now.
655
00:45:05,369 --> 00:45:08,205
You have to believe that.
656
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:10,832
I didn't have to.
657
00:45:10,833 --> 00:45:13,336
It would've been a lot
easier if I didn't.
658
00:45:16,297 --> 00:45:19,801
But I did. I did it,
because I-- [grunts]
659
00:45:26,098 --> 00:45:27,891
What are you doing?
660
00:45:27,892 --> 00:45:29,893
[grunts]
661
00:45:29,894 --> 00:45:32,480
- Uh!
- [Doug] Oof!
662
00:45:49,664 --> 00:45:53,124
Yesterday we completed hearings with
regard to articles of impeachment
663
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:55,292
for the president
of the United States.
664
00:45:55,293 --> 00:45:58,254
The chair will now entertain
motions from the committee.
665
00:45:58,255 --> 00:46:02,633
- Mr. Chairman.
- The chair recognizes the congressman from Alabama.
666
00:46:02,634 --> 00:46:05,969
I move that we put our
recommendation directly to a vote,
667
00:46:05,970 --> 00:46:10,184
so that debate on this important matter
may take place on the House floor,
668
00:46:10,185 --> 00:46:13,436
open to all 435 members.
669
00:46:13,437 --> 00:46:18,942
Are there any objections to
bypassing debate in this committee?
670
00:46:18,943 --> 00:46:20,984
We will now vote
on recommendation of the
671
00:46:20,985 --> 00:46:23,320
articles of impeachment
to the full House.
672
00:46:23,321 --> 00:46:25,991
Those in favor of
recommendation say "aye."
673
00:46:25,992 --> 00:46:28,201
- Aye.
- Those opposed?
674
00:46:28,202 --> 00:46:30,995
- Nay.
- The "ayes" have it.
675
00:46:30,996 --> 00:46:34,124
This committee officially
recommends articles of impeachment
676
00:46:34,125 --> 00:46:36,836
proceed to the House floor.
677
00:46:55,771 --> 00:46:57,815
He's here.
678
00:47:26,427 --> 00:47:30,513
[female reporter] The vice president is
just arriving now here at Camp David.
679
00:47:30,514 --> 00:47:33,516
We expect President Walker
to speak within the hour,
680
00:47:33,517 --> 00:47:38,356
announcing his official resignation
as president of the United States.
681
00:47:51,911 --> 00:47:54,914
- How are you?
- All right.
682
00:47:57,583 --> 00:47:59,835
[Frank] Mr. President.
683
00:47:59,836 --> 00:48:02,922
I have coffee in the kitchen.
Would you like some?
684
00:48:02,923 --> 00:48:04,799
I'm fine.
685
00:48:13,015 --> 00:48:18,478
Well, you're about to become the
most powerful man in the free world.
686
00:48:18,479 --> 00:48:23,024
- You don't have to do this, sir.
- I spoke to Kern last night.
687
00:48:23,025 --> 00:48:27,236
- He's not going to back down.
- So we'll beat him down.
688
00:48:27,237 --> 00:48:30,699
No, Frank. My approvals
are at eight percent.
689
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:34,200
Even if I avoid conviction,
I have no mandate to lead, so...
690
00:48:34,201 --> 00:48:39,041
...better I step aside with some dignity
so the nation can start to heal.
691
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:48,092
I can never fill
your shoes, sir.
692
00:48:51,178 --> 00:48:53,430
You don't have a choice now.
693
00:49:02,023 --> 00:49:04,066
Your letter.
694
00:49:12,282 --> 00:49:14,743
Well...
695
00:49:14,744 --> 00:49:18,956
...shall we go introduce the 46th
president of the United States?
696
00:49:35,305 --> 00:49:40,977
Effective immediately, I am resigning
the presidency of the United States.
697
00:49:40,978 --> 00:49:45,356
Tricia and I believe that this
is the best course of action,
698
00:49:45,357 --> 00:49:48,567
not only for us
and our children,
699
00:49:48,568 --> 00:49:50,654
but for country.
700
00:49:50,655 --> 00:49:54,115
It's a sad day for us.
I can't deny that.
701
00:49:54,116 --> 00:49:56,868
But I take solace in this:
702
00:49:56,869 --> 00:50:02,331
Frank Underwood will bring
virtue, experience and courage
703
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:04,291
to the Oval Office.
704
00:50:04,292 --> 00:50:07,337
I have been blessed to have him
as my vice president.
705
00:50:07,338 --> 00:50:10,758
But I'm even more blessed
to call him my friend.
706
00:50:13,136 --> 00:50:16,680
It has been...
707
00:50:16,681 --> 00:50:22,936
...the greatest honor of my life to
serve this country as president.
708
00:50:22,937 --> 00:50:26,230
I thank my family, my staff,
709
00:50:26,231 --> 00:50:29,483
and all of those
who have supported me.
710
00:50:29,484 --> 00:50:31,695
Despite the last few months,
711
00:50:31,696 --> 00:50:36,490
my faith in this country
has never been stronger.
712
00:50:36,491 --> 00:50:38,325
God bless all of you.
713
00:50:38,326 --> 00:50:41,789
And God bless
the United States of America.
714
00:50:43,875 --> 00:50:46,376
Thank you, Mr. President.
715
00:51:00,265 --> 00:51:05,228
[man] Sir, please raise your
right hand and repeat after me.
716
00:51:05,229 --> 00:51:10,316
- "I, Francis J. Underwood..."
- I, Francis J. Underwood...
717
00:51:10,317 --> 00:51:14,071
- "...do solemnly swear..."
- ...do solemnly swear...
718
00:51:15,823 --> 00:51:18,950
- [all] Mr. President.
- Mr. President.
719
00:51:18,951 --> 00:51:20,827
Madame Secretary.
720
00:51:20,828 --> 00:51:23,286
The rest of the cabinet is
awaiting you at the White House.
721
00:51:23,287 --> 00:51:25,705
We'd like to give you a national
security briefing right away, sir.
722
00:51:25,706 --> 00:51:28,708
I'm aware of the particulars.
Please get Beijing on the phone.
723
00:51:28,709 --> 00:51:32,422
Qian hasn't returned the
president's calls for two days.
724
00:51:33,715 --> 00:51:35,968
Well, there's
a new president now.
725
00:51:35,969 --> 00:51:39,470
Please get him on the line.
726
00:51:39,471 --> 00:51:44,266
Two hours ago, President Underwood, in
his first act as commander in chief,
727
00:51:44,267 --> 00:51:47,519
gave orders to the Seventh Fleet
to vacate Japanese waters.
728
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,314
This was a result of a productive
conversation with President Qian,
729
00:51:51,315 --> 00:51:55,027
who gave similar orders to Chinese
naval vessels in the same region.
730
00:51:55,028 --> 00:51:59,073
- He moves quick.
- Do you mean with the Chinese, or with Walker?
731
00:51:59,074 --> 00:52:02,286
[man on TV] After a grueling night,
the four exiles make their way...
732
00:52:02,287 --> 00:52:03,870
[knocking on door]
733
00:52:03,871 --> 00:52:05,370
- [man] Mr. Feng?
- What is it?
734
00:52:05,371 --> 00:52:06,621
US Justice Department.
735
00:52:06,622 --> 00:52:08,333
We need you to come with us.
736
00:52:08,334 --> 00:52:11,253
- Where?
- You're going back to China.
737
00:52:11,254 --> 00:52:13,212
- I have asylum.
- No, sir, you don't.
738
00:52:13,213 --> 00:52:15,089
Your asylum has been rescinded.
739
00:52:15,090 --> 00:52:17,551
I have it in writing.
Unconditional and permanent.
740
00:52:17,552 --> 00:52:19,261
Sir, I'm telling you,
741
00:52:19,262 --> 00:52:21,763
your asylum has been rescinded.
Now, please,
742
00:52:21,764 --> 00:52:24,850
gather your things
and come with us.
743
00:52:26,852 --> 00:52:29,727
Revoking his asylum
will have consequences.
744
00:52:29,728 --> 00:52:31,688
But we're solid
from a legal perspective.
745
00:52:31,689 --> 00:52:35,650
Legally, yes. His initial
paperwork hasn't been processed,
746
00:52:35,651 --> 00:52:38,736
and we can claim he poses a
threat to our national interests.
747
00:52:38,737 --> 00:52:41,533
But it diminishes the integrity
of our State Department.
748
00:52:41,534 --> 00:52:46,163
What's more important, Cathy,
integrity or peace?
749
00:52:46,164 --> 00:52:50,498
- You know they'll execute him.
- The Chinese are right about one thing:
750
00:52:50,499 --> 00:52:54,044
Sometimes you have to sacrifice
the one for the many.
751
00:52:54,045 --> 00:52:55,922
Let's get back to Washington.
752
00:52:58,425 --> 00:53:02,637
[helicopter passing overhead]
753
00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:09,020
OK, please let me know.
Thanks very much.
754
00:53:09,021 --> 00:53:10,895
- Anything?
- Not yet.
755
00:53:10,896 --> 00:53:13,022
See if you can track down anyone
from his regular AA meetings.
756
00:53:13,023 --> 00:53:15,191
I spoke to the moderator,
he says he hasn't seen
757
00:53:15,192 --> 00:53:18,610
Doug in several weeks. I checked
all the hospitals, his landlord...
758
00:53:18,611 --> 00:53:21,529
- Sir, everyone's here.
- When this is all over,
759
00:53:21,530 --> 00:53:23,073
I want you to work with
Nancy on finding Doug.
760
00:53:23,074 --> 00:53:24,991
I've already alerted
the DC Metro.
761
00:53:24,992 --> 00:53:27,662
- They put out an APB on his car.
- We'll find him, sir.
762
00:53:27,663 --> 00:53:29,663
- Claire?
- Just outside.
763
00:53:29,664 --> 00:53:31,500
Let's go, Nancy.
764
00:53:40,675 --> 00:53:45,847
Ladies and gentlemen, the
President and the First Lady.
765
00:54:31,518 --> 00:54:33,978
Francis.
766
00:54:33,979 --> 00:54:36,771
I know your birthday
isn't for a couple of weeks,
767
00:54:36,772 --> 00:54:38,942
- but I got you something.
- What's this?
768
00:54:38,943 --> 00:54:40,861
Open it.
769
00:54:47,784 --> 00:54:50,371
I had a new one made.
770
00:54:52,539 --> 00:54:56,461
- I love you.
- I love you too.
771
00:54:57,794 --> 00:55:00,796
- You go ahead.
- Come on.
772
00:55:00,797 --> 00:55:02,631
We earned this together.
773
00:55:02,632 --> 00:55:05,885
Take a few moments
for yourself first.
774
00:55:05,886 --> 00:55:08,513
I'll be out here.
775
00:56:50,073 --> 00:56:51,783
[loud banging]
776
00:56:53,982 --> 00:57:00,598
