00:00:32,475 --> 00:00:36,353
Look at that, Cashew.
Someone's being a bad boy.

00:00:36,354 --> 00:00:39,689
"Do not grieve
the Holy Spirit of God,
5
00:00:39,690 --> 00:00:42,902
by whom you were sealed
for the day of redemption.
6
00:00:42,903 --> 00:00:48,865
Let all bitterness and wrath
and anger and clamour,
7
00:00:48,866 --> 00:00:53,577
and evil speaking be put away
from you with all malice.
8
00:00:53,578 --> 00:00:56,873
And be kind to one another,
9
00:00:56,874 --> 00:01:00,711
tenderhearted,
forgiving one another."
10
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:08,177
Do you want me to keep going
with this, or something else?
11
00:01:15,017 --> 00:01:19,188
Doesn't matter to me.
I just like hearing you read it.
12
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,902
Doug, there's something
I need to talk to you about.
13
00:01:42,127 --> 00:01:44,378
You said that she was
just staying for a few nights.
14
00:01:44,379 --> 00:01:47,172
Her roommate kicked her out. She
doesn't have anywhere else to go.
15
00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:51,220
- It's not our problem.
- I can't put her out on the street.
16
00:01:51,221 --> 00:01:52,720
What's her name?
17
00:01:52,721 --> 00:01:54,472
- Lisa.
- Lisa what?
18
00:01:54,473 --> 00:01:56,392
You don't have anything
to worry about.
19
00:01:56,393 --> 00:01:59,185
- Where is she now?
- At the fellowship.
20
00:01:59,186 --> 00:02:01,646
There's a sleepover with some
of the kids from the day care.
21
00:02:03,941 --> 00:02:05,275
Does she know about me?
22
00:02:05,276 --> 00:02:07,025
No, I haven't told her anything.
23
00:02:07,026 --> 00:02:10,112
I have given you space.
I trusted you, Rachel,
24
00:02:10,113 --> 00:02:11,698
- and you've taken advantage--
- I'm not kicking her out.
25
00:02:11,699 --> 00:02:13,909
[phone beeps]
26
00:02:15,953 --> 00:02:20,249
- I could have said nothing, but I told you.
- I have to go.
27
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,795
She better be gone
by the next time we talk.
28
00:02:49,111 --> 00:02:51,571
- Sir.
- What took you so long?
29
00:02:51,572 --> 00:02:53,155
I can have a briefing ready
in five minutes.
30
00:02:53,156 --> 00:02:54,655
Don't bother.
I had Seth do it.
31
00:02:54,656 --> 00:02:56,158
He doesn't have
security clearance.
32
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:58,996
Well, he does now.
Mr. President, after you.
33
00:02:58,997 --> 00:03:01,039
I'll see you in my office.
34
00:03:04,293 --> 00:03:07,545
Japanese sovereignty
is a matter of precedent.
35
00:03:07,546 --> 00:03:09,838
Mr. Prime Minister,
my concern is escalation.
36
00:03:09,839 --> 00:03:12,757
Well, I'm asking for a small
portion of the 7th Fleet.
37
00:03:12,758 --> 00:03:14,593
We must bring China into line.
38
00:03:14,594 --> 00:03:17,720
Show them that the US and Japan
maintain a strong alliance.
39
00:03:17,721 --> 00:03:19,973
Have you reached out
directly to Beijing?
40
00:03:19,974 --> 00:03:23,227
No recognition that
the island belongs to Japan.
41
00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:25,437
Well, I'd like to speak to my
team and formulate a plan.
42
00:03:25,438 --> 00:03:28,064
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.
43
00:03:28,065 --> 00:03:29,860
Admiral,
for those catching up...
44
00:03:31,111 --> 00:03:34,197
Two Chinese destroyers
entered waters
45
00:03:34,198 --> 00:03:37,659
within three miles
of Yonaguni Island here,
46
00:03:37,660 --> 00:03:42,287
approximately six hours ago. See
how close the island is to Taiwan.
47
00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:44,581
This is different than the
standoff over the Senkaku Islands.
48
00:03:44,582 --> 00:03:46,333
It could have to do
with shipping routes.
49
00:03:46,334 --> 00:03:48,502
Or the trade war.
They can't pick on the big kids,
50
00:03:48,503 --> 00:03:51,046
so they're picking
on the little one.
51
00:03:51,047 --> 00:03:52,633
- Do you see that?
- What?
52
00:03:52,634 --> 00:03:54,800
In the alley, camera two.

[officer over loudspeaker] Put down the bag.
Put down the bag
56
00:04:33,214 --> 00:04:35,301
and place your hands
on your head.
57
00:04:36,677 --> 00:04:38,136
Stay right where you are.

[siren wails]
59
00:04:43,267 --> 00:04:47,937
Mrs. Underwood? Will you
come downstairs, please?
60
00:04:47,938 --> 00:04:51,732
- Where's Francis?
- He got delayed at the White House,
61
00:04:51,733 --> 00:04:53,400
there was an emergency meeting.
62
00:04:53,401 --> 00:04:56,154
- What's going on?
- I'll explain in the safe room.

64
00:06:34,503 --> 00:06:36,628
[Walker] The 7th Fleet
is near Guam?
65
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:39,964
Ninety miles north. We could have ships
to Yonaguni in less than a week.
66
00:06:39,965 --> 00:06:43,594
But even sending them in that direction will
be picked up by the Chinese satellites.
67
00:06:43,595 --> 00:06:46,095
Well, we have to stand with our
allies, that can't be in question.
68
00:06:46,096 --> 00:06:48,724
What if we don't send ships,
just make a strong statement
69
00:06:48,725 --> 00:06:51,267
condemning their excursion
into Japan's territorial waters.
70
00:06:51,268 --> 00:06:54,354
We still have to offer the Chinese an
incentive to call back their destroyers.
71
00:06:54,355 --> 00:06:57,733
Whatever overtures we make, I'd like
to have contingency plans in place.
72
00:06:57,734 --> 00:07:01,277
- Already drafting them, sir.
- Cathy, open up a diplomatic channel with Beijing.
73
00:07:01,278 --> 00:07:05,156
See if there's a concrete ask, if they don't
have one, let's create a list of options.
74
00:07:05,157 --> 00:07:09,496
- [Cathy] Right away, sir.
- [man] How about coordination with the Japanese navy?
75
00:07:09,497 --> 00:07:12,498
Go. Don't engage
with our navy yet.
76
00:07:12,499 --> 00:07:16,837
I want to talk directly to Prime Minister
Oshiro and express our intentions.
77
00:07:20,758 --> 00:07:25,636
Former marine. He showed up at the outer
perimeter with explosives in a duffel bag.
78
00:07:25,637 --> 00:07:27,596
- And strapped to his body.
- Jesus.
79
00:07:27,597 --> 00:07:29,848
We apprehended him,
the press isn't aware.
80
00:07:29,849 --> 00:07:32,141
- Well, let's keep it that way.
- He claimed he was responsible
81
00:07:32,142 --> 00:07:34,519
for sending the package
of white powder to the capitol.
82
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,399
So this time he really wanted
to take me out for real.
83
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,986
Not exactly. His wife got an abortion
last week without telling him.
84
00:07:42,987 --> 00:07:47,074
- Oh, my God. It was me.
- Yes, you were the target.
85
00:07:47,075 --> 00:07:49,200
We'd like to keep you down
here with us, Mrs. Underwood,
86
00:07:49,201 --> 00:07:52,454
- until we confirm he was acting alone.
- I'll stay.
87
00:07:52,455 --> 00:07:54,205
No, you have to get back
to the White House.
88
00:07:54,206 --> 00:07:56,919
- I can work from here.
- Francis, I'm fine. Honestly.
89
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,169
I'm just gonna be in here.
90
00:07:59,170 --> 00:08:03,548
I want you to stick with her at all times.
Keep me informed of everything.
91
00:08:03,549 --> 00:08:05,719
He's almost done with his shift, sir.
I can put another agent on--
92
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,724
- No, I want it to be Meechum.
- Absolutely, sir. As long as necessary.
93
00:08:15,271 --> 00:08:17,230
[Frank] I'll be back
as soon as I can.
94
00:08:18,189 --> 00:08:19,608
It's OK.
95
00:08:31,369 --> 00:08:34,163
[Remy] Don't go to California.
96
00:08:34,164 --> 00:08:37,918
[Jackie] Mm...
Be nice to be reelected.
97
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,879
[Remy] You're gonna win.
98
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,717
[Jackie] Not if I don't give
the voters more face time.
99
00:08:57,562 --> 00:08:59,272
When did you get it?
100
00:09:03,944 --> 00:09:07,113
- The Army?
- Yeah.
101
00:09:08,239 --> 00:09:10,158
It's grown since then.
102
00:09:11,869 --> 00:09:13,829
Tell me about it.
103
00:09:15,205 --> 00:09:16,748
No.
104
00:09:17,917 --> 00:09:19,667
Why not?
105
00:09:19,668 --> 00:09:21,921
I don't want to.
106
00:09:31,889 --> 00:09:34,098
What are you doing?
107
00:09:35,643 --> 00:09:38,395
Tell me about the tattoo.
108
00:09:39,270 --> 00:09:42,147
[moans]
109
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:46,109
- That's not fair.
- So what?
110
00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:49,322
You think you can just get me
wet and I'll spill everything?
111
00:09:49,323 --> 00:09:54,036
- I don't think so...
- Mm...
112
00:09:56,287 --> 00:09:58,122
...I know so.
113
00:10:00,542 --> 00:10:03,211
[moaning]
114
00:10:11,803 --> 00:10:13,346
Tell me.
115
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,517
I like the pain.
116
00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:24,691
- Of the needle?
- Yeah.
117
00:10:25,943 --> 00:10:27,945
How bad did it hurt?
118
00:10:30,154 --> 00:10:31,823
It hurt a lot.
119
00:10:35,326 --> 00:10:37,369
You like when it hurts?
120
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:39,290
[gasping]
121
00:10:42,918 --> 00:10:44,335
I killed a lot of people.
122
00:10:48,548 --> 00:10:50,216
What?
123
00:10:52,303 --> 00:10:53,511
In the Army.
124
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:59,225
The pain...
125
00:10:59,977 --> 00:11:01,645
...it helped.
126
00:11:09,527 --> 00:11:10,988
Finish.
127
00:11:13,573 --> 00:11:17,035
[gasping]
128
00:11:20,122 --> 00:11:22,038
The most I could find
was some wrangling with the EPA
129
00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:25,165
when he opened his first plant,
but that was almost 40 years ago.
130
00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:28,878
- We need more. I want Tusk gone.
- Doyle and I will keep looking.
131
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,255
If you haven't found anything now,
what makes you think you will?
132
00:11:31,256 --> 00:11:34,467
Maybe we missed something.
I doubt it, but we could try.
133
00:11:34,468 --> 00:11:37,846
You think Tusk isn't planning his
next attack even as we speak?
134
00:11:37,847 --> 00:11:41,434
[Doug] We've been thorough, sir.
He doesn't leave footprints.
135
00:11:41,435 --> 00:11:43,478
You want to shift tactics?
136
00:11:44,729 --> 00:11:47,941
The casino. We go public
as soon as possible.
137
00:11:47,942 --> 00:11:49,691
You said that was a last resort.
138
00:11:49,692 --> 00:11:51,569
Seth, you need to find a way
to make that happen
139
00:11:51,570 --> 00:11:53,320
so it doesn't link to us.
140
00:11:53,321 --> 00:11:56,196
[Doug] If we launch that missile,
it could blow us up too.
141
00:11:56,197 --> 00:11:57,740
[Seth] Not if we spin it right.
142
00:11:57,741 --> 00:11:59,450
- If we keep the focus on--
- Seth.
143
00:11:59,451 --> 00:12:01,327
You're here to listen,
not contribute.
144
00:12:01,328 --> 00:12:03,999
I wouldn't have him here if I
didn't want him to contribute.
145
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,002
Sir... he's been sitting
with this for three hours.
146
00:12:08,003 --> 00:12:09,919
I've been working on it
for three months.
147
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,171
And accomplished nothing.
148
00:12:11,172 --> 00:12:12,714
It's time we go on the
offensive.
149
00:12:12,715 --> 00:12:14,924
- What do you think?
- [Seth] Ayla Sayyad.
150
00:12:14,925 --> 00:12:17,927
- She's already digging into Tusk and Feng.
- How close is she?
151
00:12:17,928 --> 00:12:21,389
She never mentioned a casino, but
now that I know what the dots are,
152
00:12:21,390 --> 00:12:24,061
I can see that she's
starting to connect them.
153
00:12:25,436 --> 00:12:27,272
[Ayla] The Pentagon
isn't talking yet.
154
00:12:27,273 --> 00:12:31,817
I imagine they're
waiting on the White House.
155
00:12:31,818 --> 00:12:36,031
I hear there have been regular meetings
in the Situation Room since last night.
156
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:45,373
Let me call you right back.
157
00:13:09,773 --> 00:13:11,564
- [woman] Hello?
- Hey, Lynne, it's Ayla.
158
00:13:11,565 --> 00:13:13,566
- I just sent you a picture.
- Yeah, I got it.
159
00:13:13,567 --> 00:13:16,319
- What does it mean?
- It's strange, it doesn't make sense.
160
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,034
- Tell me.
- "Pursue currency" would be the most literal translation.
161
00:13:21,035 --> 00:13:23,410
Or "pursue money."
162
00:13:23,411 --> 00:13:26,330
- Follow the money?
- That could work.
163
00:13:26,331 --> 00:13:27,999
Thanks, Lynne.
164
00:13:45,643 --> 00:13:48,184
I like what you've done.
This sofa, it's new?
165
00:13:48,185 --> 00:13:51,187
- These lamps as well?
- I've made a few changes.
166
00:13:51,188 --> 00:13:54,523
You get so used to a place,
the smallest things stand out.
167
00:13:54,524 --> 00:13:56,692
I apologize for not
being responsive sooner.
168
00:13:56,693 --> 00:13:59,030
I've been focused
on the midterms.
169
00:13:59,031 --> 00:14:02,323
Oh, there's no need to explain.
170
00:14:02,324 --> 00:14:07,163
Mrs. Underwood, you know how
much I respect your intentions,
171
00:14:07,164 --> 00:14:10,959
but I've thought
deeply about this and
172
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,503
I can't cosponsor the bill
in its current form.
173
00:14:14,504 --> 00:14:17,005
Civilian oversight
is too extreme a step,
174
00:14:17,006 --> 00:14:21,385
but I'd be happy to revisit some of
the other less extreme proposals.
175
00:14:21,386 --> 00:14:24,264
You think we're
being extremist?
176
00:14:24,265 --> 00:14:27,098
I want to help with this issue,
but this bill goes through--
177
00:14:27,099 --> 00:14:31,270
This bill is through Armed Services.
This bill has a date on the floor.
178
00:14:31,271 --> 00:14:34,524
Almost every woman in the
House supports this bill.
179
00:14:34,525 --> 00:14:39,569
- And I can't be one of them.
- So you lied to us.
180
00:14:39,570 --> 00:14:42,364
I didn't lie. I didn't lie.
181
00:14:42,365 --> 00:14:46,492
I... I want to help. As long as
we rethink some of the language.
182
00:14:46,493 --> 00:14:49,787
Are you trying to distance yourself from
us because of the Galloway scandal?
183
00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:52,332
- No.
- Maybe you think it hurts your chances
184
00:14:52,333 --> 00:14:55,294
- of reelection if you associate with me.
- That's not it.
185
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:58,673
It's because I honestly don't
believe in this approach.
186
00:14:58,674 --> 00:15:02,676
Do you realize
the message this sends?
187
00:15:02,677 --> 00:15:07,680
The only woman in congressional leadership
in both parties, and you bow out?
188
00:15:07,681 --> 00:15:13,395
If the bill goes to the floor as is, I won't
just bow out. I'll actively fight it.
189
00:15:13,396 --> 00:15:16,982
You never asked my position.
You assumed.
190
00:15:16,983 --> 00:15:19,609
I can't imagine
what that position must be.
191
00:15:19,610 --> 00:15:23,238
I've served in war zones,
I know firsthand how important--
192
00:15:23,239 --> 00:15:25,489
We're not talking
about war zones.
193
00:15:25,490 --> 00:15:27,493
We're talking
about sexual assault.
194
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,664
How about a military commission
to review the internal--
195
00:15:31,665 --> 00:15:36,252
We don't need more studies,
we need reform.
196
00:15:36,253 --> 00:15:41,423
Well, let's continue this conversation
when I return from California.
197
00:15:41,424 --> 00:15:45,553
I'll be back the day after
tomorrow if you change your mind.
198
00:15:45,554 --> 00:15:50,267
I won't, but I hope
you change yours.
199
00:15:56,439 --> 00:15:59,649
[Cathy] China was insulted at the
notion that we could buy them off.
200
00:15:59,650 --> 00:16:01,817
[Walker] Do I need
to call President Qian?
201
00:16:01,818 --> 00:16:04,028
I doubt he would contradict
one of his ministers.
202
00:16:04,029 --> 00:16:05,905
See if he's willing
to talk one-on-one.
203
00:16:05,906 --> 00:16:08,451
You should know, sir,
Japan is also preparing
204
00:16:08,452 --> 00:16:11,995
to deploy three destroyers
and a light cruiser.
205
00:16:11,996 --> 00:16:14,748
They're upping the ante.
206
00:16:14,749 --> 00:16:17,417
Have Ambassador Hines get in
touch with the prime minister,
207
00:16:17,418 --> 00:16:20,504
and ask if Japan will hold off
until I make contact with Beijing.
208
00:16:20,505 --> 00:16:22,464
Yes, sir.
209
00:16:22,465 --> 00:16:24,716
Have you gotten
any rest at all?
210
00:16:24,717 --> 00:16:28,680
- No, have you?
- No, not yet.
211
00:16:30,014 --> 00:16:32,724
How's Claire?
212
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:36,854
Secret Service thinks it's an isolated
attempt, but they're being cautious.
213
00:16:38,606 --> 00:16:40,731
After the Galloway thing
and the interview,
214
00:16:40,732 --> 00:16:42,819
half the country thinks
she's a baby killer,
215
00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:44,778
or an adulterer, or both.
216
00:16:44,779 --> 00:16:48,072
But Claire's taking it in
stride. We're in good hands.
217
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:51,617
That's very frightening.
I can see why you haven't slept.
218
00:16:51,618 --> 00:16:54,912
One of us should, probably the one
that's calling all the shots.
219
00:16:54,913 --> 00:16:57,457
No, I can hold out
a little while longer.
220
00:16:57,458 --> 00:16:59,334
No, go to the residence,
spend some time with your wife.
221
00:16:59,335 --> 00:17:01,254
You'll come back feeling
like a new man.
222
00:17:01,255 --> 00:17:05,925
Honestly, it's less
stressful here.
223
00:17:08,052 --> 00:17:12,598
- Counseling hasn't helped?
- No, it has... slowly.
224
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:17,895
- I got rid of Christina when Linda resigned.
- I heard.
225
00:17:17,896 --> 00:17:21,148
It's improved things some,
but...
226
00:17:21,149 --> 00:17:23,900
[sighs] ...there's
still work to do.
227
00:17:23,901 --> 00:17:26,862
Makes me tired
just to think about it.
228
00:17:26,863 --> 00:17:30,283
Well, you probably wouldn't be the first
president to get a little shut-eye
229
00:17:30,284 --> 00:17:32,160
on one of these sofas.
230
00:17:33,411 --> 00:17:35,244
- I was joking.
- I wasn't.
231
00:17:35,245 --> 00:17:37,455
Do the free world a favor
and get some rest.
232
00:17:37,456 --> 00:17:39,999
- I'll let you be.
- No, stick around.
233
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,171
You should be nearby if President
Qian wants to get on the phone.
234
00:17:54,474 --> 00:17:57,394
I've always loathed
the necessity of sleep.
235
00:17:57,395 --> 00:18:01,772
Like death, it puts the most
powerful men on their backs.
236
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,361
[phone ringing]
237
00:18:07,362 --> 00:18:09,278
[man] DC Limo and Bus Rental.
238
00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:11,824
I'm calling from the Adohi
Casino's travel department.
239
00:18:11,825 --> 00:18:13,909
We've got a corporate account.
240
00:18:13,910 --> 00:18:15,784
[man] Let's see...
I'm sorry,
241
00:18:15,785 --> 00:18:17,453
we don't have one
in our records.
242
00:18:17,454 --> 00:18:18,665
My mistake.
I must've called
243
00:18:18,666 --> 00:18:21,125
the wrong limo service.
Thank you.
244
00:18:23,545 --> 00:18:27,548
[dialing, line ringing]
245
00:18:27,549 --> 00:18:29,424
[woman] Missouri Bus and Limo.
246
00:18:29,425 --> 00:18:31,635
I'm calling from the Adohi
Casino's travel department.
247
00:18:31,636 --> 00:18:35,514
- You're not Darlene.
- No, Darlene is out sick.
248
00:18:35,515 --> 00:18:37,976
I'm filling in for her.
My name is Pam.
249
00:18:37,977 --> 00:18:39,809
How can I help you, Pam?
250
00:18:39,810 --> 00:18:42,228
We've got a flight
coming in from China tomorrow.
251
00:18:42,229 --> 00:18:44,190
We'll need some transportation.
252
00:18:46,317 --> 00:18:48,278
How many you got coming?
253
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:49,820
I don't have the manifest
right in front of me.
254
00:18:49,821 --> 00:18:51,947
- The usual?
- That's right.
255
00:18:51,948 --> 00:18:54,782
- So a luxury bus.
- How many does that fit?
256
00:18:54,783 --> 00:18:57,787
Fifty-five, usually about 20 come in.
Should be plenty of room.
257
00:18:57,788 --> 00:18:59,413
That's great, thanks.
258
00:18:59,414 --> 00:19:01,832
[Frank] Do you think
it's really her conscience,
259
00:19:01,833 --> 00:19:04,543
or because the
bill's controversial?
260
00:19:04,544 --> 00:19:06,168
I don't think she would have
threatened to fight us
261
00:19:06,169 --> 00:19:09,173
if all she wanted to do
was avoid controversy.
262
00:19:09,174 --> 00:19:11,258
I'll talk to her.
263
00:19:11,259 --> 00:19:13,885
I really want
this bill to pass.
264
00:19:13,886 --> 00:19:17,055
I know you do, so do I.
265
00:19:17,056 --> 00:19:19,642
We need Jackie more
than ever, Francis.
266
00:19:21,852 --> 00:19:24,105
I'm damaged goods,
this whole Adam thing.
267
00:19:24,106 --> 00:19:26,815
No, you're not.
We fought past that.
268
00:19:26,816 --> 00:19:30,236
Well, there's plenty of people
who still believe it's true.
269
00:19:30,237 --> 00:19:33,406
We'll get it passed, I promise.
270
00:19:36,367 --> 00:19:40,538
- No, thanks.
- Come on. It's no fun doing it alone.
271
00:19:44,375 --> 00:19:46,418
We could just go for a run.
272
00:19:46,419 --> 00:19:49,837
No more runs until the death threats
die down, that's the new rule.
273
00:19:49,838 --> 00:19:51,632
But they let you go
to the office.
274
00:19:51,633 --> 00:19:53,884
Because I was
in a bulletproof car.
275
00:19:56,304 --> 00:19:58,889
Does this mean
we've officially not quit?
276
00:19:58,890 --> 00:20:01,351
We've never been quitters,
have we?
277
00:20:03,144 --> 00:20:06,396
Sir, Mrs. Underwood,
sorry to interrupt.
278
00:20:06,397 --> 00:20:10,232
I was gonna head home, but I'll
stick around if you want me to.
279
00:20:10,233 --> 00:20:12,901
Oh, no. You've been up long
enough. Get some sleep.
280
00:20:12,902 --> 00:20:15,321
[Meechum] I'll be back first
thing in the morning.
281
00:20:15,322 --> 00:20:17,200
Thank you for looking
after me today.
282
00:20:17,201 --> 00:20:21,496
My pleasure, ma'am.
Sir, Mrs. Underwood.
283
00:20:25,082 --> 00:20:28,084
- He's very dedicated.
- He is.
284
00:20:28,085 --> 00:20:30,505
It's rare to find
someone like Edward.
285
00:20:33,716 --> 00:20:36,636
- What?
- You never use his first name.
286
00:20:37,887 --> 00:20:39,639
Oh, did I?
287
00:20:42,183 --> 00:20:45,228
I don't feel right
talking about her like this.
288
00:20:45,229 --> 00:20:48,813
It's just... technically,
she's my boss now.
289
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:52,233
- There's a certain protocol.
- [Seth] This is coming directly from Doug.
290
00:20:52,234 --> 00:20:55,779
Which means it's coming directly
from the vice president.
291
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:05,289
Well, um, I have seen Mr. Danton
around from time to time.
292
00:21:05,290 --> 00:21:08,084
Do you know what he and the
congresswoman were discussing?
293
00:21:08,085 --> 00:21:10,669
No, they were private meetings.
294
00:21:10,670 --> 00:21:14,674
Do you have the appointment schedule?
I'd like to look at the dates.
295
00:21:14,675 --> 00:21:19,052
These weren't formal appointments.
He just stops by.
296
00:21:19,053 --> 00:21:21,306
Most of the time
pretty late at night.
297
00:21:23,224 --> 00:21:26,018
[Ayla] Did the money
originate in China?
298
00:21:26,019 --> 00:21:28,396
[Lanagin] The money came
from tribal revenue.
299
00:21:28,397 --> 00:21:31,273
As our FEC reports
clearly stated.
300
00:21:31,274 --> 00:21:33,190
[Ayla] Let me rephrase.
Did any of that revenue
301
00:21:33,191 --> 00:21:36,068
come from Chinese visitors
who gambled at your casino?
302
00:21:36,069 --> 00:21:38,279
[Lanagin] We have visitors
from all over the world.
303
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,035
I'm speaking specifically about
a businessman named Xander Feng.
304
00:21:43,328 --> 00:21:45,370
I have no idea who that is.
305
00:21:45,371 --> 00:21:47,079
[Ayla] I'm looking at FAA
flight records that show
306
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,206
a private plane he owns
making numerous trips
307
00:21:49,207 --> 00:21:52,501
to Kansas City. And I spoke
with Missouri Bus and Limo,
308
00:21:52,502 --> 00:21:55,338
which has transported Chinese
visitors to your casino.
309
00:21:55,339 --> 00:21:57,214
- [Lanagin] Ms. Said--
- Sayyad.
310
00:21:57,215 --> 00:21:59,800
Ms. Sayyad, the only reason
I returned your call
311
00:21:59,801 --> 00:22:02,010
was because you work
for The Telegraph.
312
00:22:02,011 --> 00:22:05,348
It's not every day that I get a
call from a paper as big as yours.
313
00:22:05,349 --> 00:22:08,183
But I don't know what you're trying
to get at here, so if you'll excuse--
314
00:22:08,184 --> 00:22:09,812
What about Raymond Tusk?
315
00:22:11,606 --> 00:22:14,231
- What about him?
- Feng has ties to Tusk.
316
00:22:14,232 --> 00:22:16,776
Tusk has ties to the president.
You have ties to Feng.
317
00:22:16,777 --> 00:22:19,987
That looks like foreign money being
used to influence political--
318
00:22:19,988 --> 00:22:22,824
What you're insinuating
is not only wrong,
319
00:22:22,825 --> 00:22:26,035
- it's libelous.
- Not if it's true.
320
00:22:26,036 --> 00:22:28,914
I won't bat an eyelash
getting my attorneys involved.
321
00:22:28,915 --> 00:22:31,500
[Ayla] Tusk made
the same threat.
322
00:22:31,501 --> 00:22:33,960
If a man worth 40 billion
dollars doesn't intimidate me,
323
00:22:33,961 --> 00:22:35,672
you certainly don't,
Mr. Lana--
324
00:22:37,966 --> 00:22:43,094
Hello?
He hung up.
325
00:22:43,095 --> 00:22:45,596
[Frank] I had nothing
to do with it, Raymond.
326
00:22:45,597 --> 00:22:48,223
I can smell the horseshit
through the phone.
327
00:22:48,224 --> 00:22:50,810
[Frank] You think I'd put
myself at this great a risk?
328
00:22:50,811 --> 00:22:53,103
Desperate men
are capable of anything.
329
00:22:53,104 --> 00:22:56,856
- I want it to go away, just like you do.
- Then pull her back.
330
00:22:56,857 --> 00:22:59,067
I have no control
over the press, Raymond.
331
00:22:59,068 --> 00:23:01,320
[Raymond] You'll destroy
yourself, Frank, not me.
332
00:23:01,321 --> 00:23:03,658
Thank you for that
unsolicited advice.
333
00:23:04,993 --> 00:23:07,034
Work with Doyle,
make sure we have no weak spots.
334
00:23:07,035 --> 00:23:09,205
- I'll call him now.
- What did Nancy say?
335
00:23:09,206 --> 00:23:14,418
Well, it looks like Jackie may
be sleeping with the enemy.
336
00:23:16,212 --> 00:23:18,878
Lanagin is correct in saying
we run the risk of libel.
337
00:23:18,879 --> 00:23:20,631
These links
are supported by fact.
338
00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:22,550
Individually, but you can't
complete the circle.
339
00:23:22,551 --> 00:23:24,012
[Ayla] I'm not saying the
headline should read:
340
00:23:24,013 --> 00:23:26,763
Money Laundering Scheme Exposed!
341
00:23:26,764 --> 00:23:29,724
Just that we present the landscape
as we currently know it.
342
00:23:29,725 --> 00:23:31,350
We're first and foremost
a financial paper.
343
00:23:31,351 --> 00:23:33,394
Many of our readers
worship Raymond Tusk.
344
00:23:33,395 --> 00:23:34,936
So we just protect him?
345
00:23:34,937 --> 00:23:37,315
We don't insinuate
connections we can't back up.
346
00:23:37,316 --> 00:23:40,401
If there's any basis for litigation, you
can be sure his team will be aggressive.
347
00:23:40,402 --> 00:23:42,612
[man] They've bankrupted
papers before.
348
00:23:42,613 --> 00:23:45,905
I think you should slow down and take your time.
When, and if, you have a story--
349
00:23:45,906 --> 00:23:48,452
Mr. Maxfield,
Raymond Tusk is on the line.
350
00:23:49,704 --> 00:23:51,579
- Did you put in a call to him?
- Yesterday.
351
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:53,455
[woman] He's specifically
asking for you, sir.
352
00:23:53,456 --> 00:23:55,750
We got off the phone with Lanagin
less than 30 minutes ago.
353
00:23:55,751 --> 00:23:58,168
That means Tusk was the
first call Lanagin made.
354
00:23:58,169 --> 00:24:00,962
Tell him I'll return. Did you
reach out to the White House?
355
00:24:00,963 --> 00:24:02,882
They're not talking to anyone
until after the president
356
00:24:02,883 --> 00:24:04,636
does his press briefing
tomorrow.
357
00:24:04,637 --> 00:24:06,469
All right, walk me through
358
00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:08,598
all of this again,
point by point.
359
00:24:49,806 --> 00:24:51,973
[knocking on door]
360
00:25:02,485 --> 00:25:05,237
- Meechum.
- We can talk tomorrow, sir.
361
00:25:06,530 --> 00:25:09,032
No. What is it?
362
00:25:15,414 --> 00:25:19,625
I'd like to put in a request to be
on your wife's detail full time.
363
00:25:19,626 --> 00:25:21,712
At least until the death threats
quiet down.
364
00:25:22,505 --> 00:25:24,255
That's very thoughtful.
365
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:26,047
I'll only do it if you approve,
sir.
366
00:25:26,048 --> 00:25:27,967
- Have you spoken to Claire?
- When she came home.
367
00:25:27,968 --> 00:25:31,096
- She likes the idea.
- Then I think we should do it.
368
00:25:31,097 --> 00:25:33,140
I'll let Agent Rockland know.
369
00:25:35,351 --> 00:25:36,976
Sorry for
interrupting you, sir.
370
00:25:36,977 --> 00:25:38,686
You didn't interrupt anything.
371
00:25:38,687 --> 00:25:41,357
- Good night, sir.
- Good night, Meechum.
372
00:25:44,568 --> 00:25:48,404
- Hey.
- Hey.
373
00:25:48,405 --> 00:25:50,574
You'll never believe
what just happened.
374
00:25:50,575 --> 00:25:53,702
- What?
- Meechum came into the office
375
00:25:53,703 --> 00:25:57,205
and found me
watching something...
376
00:25:57,206 --> 00:26:03,044
- ...other than the news.
- Oh! [laughs]
377
00:26:03,045 --> 00:26:06,840
- Oh, no.
- He was very professional about it.
378
00:26:06,841 --> 00:26:10,844
- Were you...?
- No, no. I was just watching.
379
00:26:10,845 --> 00:26:13,763
That's really funny.
380
00:26:13,764 --> 00:26:15,806
What about you?
What are you watching?
381
00:26:15,807 --> 00:26:19,395
The video Connor gave me. It's
our first state senate race.
382
00:26:19,396 --> 00:26:20,938
I forgot about that.
383
00:26:20,939 --> 00:26:22,982
So did I, until I found it
in the desk this morning.
384
00:26:22,983 --> 00:26:24,816
Let me see.
385
00:26:24,817 --> 00:26:26,817
[Frank on computer]
...been there, like I have.
386
00:26:26,818 --> 00:26:29,321
Of course, it doesn't hurt to
have a little Texas in them...
387
00:26:29,322 --> 00:26:32,240
My God, look how young we are.
388
00:26:32,241 --> 00:26:33,992
I know.
389
00:26:33,993 --> 00:26:35,868
[Claire] Everyone here has been
so kind, and so welcoming.
390
00:26:35,869 --> 00:26:38,245
[Frank] We'll have her rooting
for Clemson before too long.
391
00:26:38,246 --> 00:26:41,042
[Claire] That's where
I have to draw the line.
392
00:26:45,046 --> 00:26:47,589
Do you miss being with Adam?
393
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:49,550
Where did that come from?
394
00:26:52,679 --> 00:26:54,387
Miss it? No.
395
00:26:54,388 --> 00:26:57,349
Well, you must, sometimes.
396
00:26:59,727 --> 00:27:03,354
He meant a lot
to me for a while.
397
00:27:03,355 --> 00:27:05,816
But that's done now.
398
00:27:07,401 --> 00:27:09,360
What about you?
399
00:27:09,361 --> 00:27:11,614
What about me?
400
00:27:13,490 --> 00:27:15,702
Are you unsatisfied?
401
00:27:18,161 --> 00:27:20,581
There's just
too much at stake now.
402
00:27:20,582 --> 00:27:22,916
No one we can trust.
403
00:27:22,917 --> 00:27:25,711
We don't have
the freedom we once did.
404
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,011
Maybe it's better this way.
405
00:27:33,844 --> 00:27:35,888
No room for distractions.
406
00:27:37,347 --> 00:27:39,933
I don't mind the sacrifice.
407
00:27:39,934 --> 00:27:41,768
We chose this instead.
408
00:27:41,769 --> 00:27:43,687
[Frank] I think the one thing
we can agree on
409
00:27:43,688 --> 00:27:45,772
is the ribs here are better.
410
00:27:45,773 --> 00:27:47,731
[Claire] See, he's just trying
to get under my skin.
411
00:27:47,732 --> 00:27:50,151
[Frank] No,
it's not even debatable...
412
00:27:55,365 --> 00:28:00,495
- [Frank] How was California?
- Oh... [laughs]
413
00:28:00,496 --> 00:28:05,000
Exhausting.
Twelve events in two days.
414
00:28:05,001 --> 00:28:08,670
- Is this the Golden Gate?
- Yes.
415
00:28:08,671 --> 00:28:13,382
I had an etching right there. The
capitol before it was finished.
416
00:28:13,383 --> 00:28:15,718
Took 85 years to complete it.
417
00:28:15,719 --> 00:28:19,513
- How long did it take to complete the bridge?
- About four years.
418
00:28:19,514 --> 00:28:22,975
It opened a few months
after FDR's second inaugural.
419
00:28:22,976 --> 00:28:25,270
There was a man
who got things done.
420
00:28:25,271 --> 00:28:27,856
Strong beliefs
and he stuck to them.
421
00:28:27,857 --> 00:28:29,900
But compromised when he had to.
422
00:28:31,653 --> 00:28:34,277
I assume you're here
to talk about Claire's bill.
423
00:28:34,278 --> 00:28:36,571
It's not a pet project.
There are three dozen
424
00:28:36,572 --> 00:28:38,740
cosponsors on either
side of the aisle.
425
00:28:38,741 --> 00:28:41,078
- It's a serious bill.
- I don't disagree.
426
00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:45,165
- Except with the language.
- I can explain my thinking,
427
00:28:45,166 --> 00:28:47,082
but I doubt I'll convince you
anymore--
428
00:28:47,083 --> 00:28:50,044
Putting aside the military's
honor, chain of command,
429
00:28:50,045 --> 00:28:51,965
all the things
that you hold dear...
430
00:28:54,299 --> 00:28:57,052
...let's consider
one simple fact.
431
00:28:57,053 --> 00:29:00,430
You wouldn't have this office
if it weren't for me.
432
00:29:00,431 --> 00:29:05,267
I made very clear
that I wouldn't be a puppet.
433
00:29:05,268 --> 00:29:09,691
I'm not trying to pull strings, but
you could show a little gratitude.
434
00:29:09,692 --> 00:29:14,485
If it were anything else, Mr. Vice
President... but not this.
435
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:17,571
All you're doing is making
the inevitable more difficult.
436
00:29:17,572 --> 00:29:20,242
It's not inevitable. Claire
doesn't have the votes yet.
437
00:29:21,911 --> 00:29:24,078
You really want
to fight us on this.
438
00:29:24,079 --> 00:29:26,121
I don't want
to fight you at all.
439
00:29:26,122 --> 00:29:28,207
Which is why I suggested to
Claire that we sit down--
440
00:29:28,208 --> 00:29:31,501
I neither have the time nor the
inclination to negotiate with you!
441
00:29:31,502 --> 00:29:35,758
Cosponsor the bill, whip the damn
votes, I'm no longer asking.
442
00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:38,552
Then I'm no longer listening.
443
00:29:41,847 --> 00:29:44,806
You don't have just this office
to thank me for.
444
00:29:44,807 --> 00:29:48,143
If you win reelection,
you can thank me for that, too.
445
00:29:48,144 --> 00:29:50,938
Those attack ads didn't just
disappear on their own.
446
00:29:50,939 --> 00:29:54,025
- What do you mean?
- Why don't you ask Remy Danton.
447
00:29:54,026 --> 00:29:56,651
And ask him about Raymond Tusk
while you're at it.
448
00:29:56,652 --> 00:29:59,489
That ought to make for some very
interesting pillow talk.
449
00:30:15,005 --> 00:30:16,757
You keep up the good work,
Nancy.
450
00:30:17,758 --> 00:30:19,466
I will, Mr. Vice President.
451
00:30:19,467 --> 00:30:22,469
I miss having you around,
but you're my eyes and ears now,
452
00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:24,512
otherwise I'd steal
you back in a heartbeat.
453
00:30:24,513 --> 00:30:28,310
Well, thank you, sir. It means
a lot to me that you say that.
454
00:30:34,441 --> 00:30:37,069
- Doug?
- I'm busy.
455
00:30:39,863 --> 00:30:41,740
The story just broke.
456
00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:48,829
They timed it with the
president's press conference.
457
00:30:48,830 --> 00:30:51,206
Connect me with
the vice president.
458
00:30:51,207 --> 00:30:54,334
[Walker] So the 7th Fleet is
currently positioned near Guam,
459
00:30:54,335 --> 00:30:59,006
where it will remain if China removes its
ships from Japan's sovereign waters.
460
00:30:59,007 --> 00:31:01,758
I've been in frequent touch
with prime minister Oshiro,
461
00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:04,511
and have made personal
overtures to President Qian.
462
00:31:04,512 --> 00:31:07,764
And I remain optimistic
that tensions will be quelled
463
00:31:07,765 --> 00:31:11,185
without any further escalations. So,
with that, I'll take some questions.
464
00:31:11,186 --> 00:31:13,312
- Henry, you first.
- [man] Can you comment
465
00:31:13,313 --> 00:31:15,355
on the Wall Street Telegraph
article--
466
00:31:15,356 --> 00:31:18,733
I was just notified of that
moments before I joined you.
467
00:31:18,734 --> 00:31:20,485
I haven't had a chance to read
it yet. Yeah, Jane.
468
00:31:20,486 --> 00:31:22,280
[woman] Mr. President, would
you walk us through
469
00:31:22,281 --> 00:31:24,156
your history with Raymond Tusk?
470
00:31:24,157 --> 00:31:27,617
I'm here to answer questions on
Sino-Japanese relations. Mark.
471
00:31:27,618 --> 00:31:31,412
[man] The article mentions Xander Feng, a
wealthy and influential Chinese business--
472
00:31:31,413 --> 00:31:33,373
Unless this has to do with the
statement I just made--
473
00:31:33,374 --> 00:31:35,375
[man] It does, Mr. President.
Feng has ties
474
00:31:35,376 --> 00:31:37,211
to the standing committee
and we're currently in a
475
00:31:37,212 --> 00:31:39,048
standoff with the Chinese.
Economically--
476
00:31:39,049 --> 00:31:40,716
Thank you all very much.
477
00:31:42,343 --> 00:31:45,304
It's not beginning the story
that I fear,
478
00:31:45,305 --> 00:31:47,097
it's not knowing
how it will end.
479
00:31:47,098 --> 00:31:51,184
Everyone is fair game now,
including me.
480
00:31:51,185 --> 00:31:54,728
This is par for the course, what we've
come to expect from President Walker.
481
00:31:54,729 --> 00:31:58,024
Whenever he's selling a shiny new
car, he can't say enough about it.
482
00:31:58,025 --> 00:32:00,775
The engine breaks down,
the transmission gives out,
483
00:32:00,776 --> 00:32:03,987
he dodges, he ignores the warranty.
I'm gonna tell you something,
484
00:32:03,988 --> 00:32:07,157
our warranty is the Constitution
of the United States,
485
00:32:07,158 --> 00:32:10,244
and there's no limit on that.
He needs to read the fine print
486
00:32:10,245 --> 00:32:12,620
and start answering
our questions.
487
00:32:12,621 --> 00:32:16,543
If any of this is true, we're
talking Congress, the White House,
488
00:32:16,544 --> 00:32:19,628
both parties...
Now, I'm saying "if,"
489
00:32:19,629 --> 00:32:22,839
but when it looks like dirty money,
and it smells like dirty money,
490
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,799
somebody has probably got dirt
under their nails.
491
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,094
Look, there's no real proof
this money laundering is even--
492
00:32:27,095 --> 00:32:29,637
The connections are troubling,
especially Underwood.
493
00:32:29,638 --> 00:32:32,934
He was the House whip the entire time
Adohi were contributing to the Democrats,
494
00:32:32,935 --> 00:32:35,185
and he's working side by side
with the president now.
495
00:32:35,186 --> 00:32:37,062
The president. So this goes all
the way to the White House?
496
00:32:37,063 --> 00:32:39,314
- It might.
- It's hypothetical. And by the way,
497
00:32:39,315 --> 00:32:41,149
you've cherry-picked the facts
to make your case.
498
00:32:41,150 --> 00:32:43,402
I'm not making a case.
My headline is:
499
00:32:43,403 --> 00:32:46,071
PAC Money Raises Questions.
And it has.
500
00:32:46,072 --> 00:32:48,073
I haven't answered
those questions,
501
00:32:48,074 --> 00:32:50,575
but I think the American people
deserve answers. Don't you?
502
00:32:50,576 --> 00:32:54,537
You can bet your bottom dollar the
attorney general is gonna investigate.
503
00:32:54,538 --> 00:32:58,125
- With the firestorm this is causing in the media--
- What's our course of action?
504
00:32:58,126 --> 00:33:01,253
As your counsel, I would encourage
you not to speak to the press
505
00:33:01,254 --> 00:33:04,547
until we have more information.
As your average citizen,
506
00:33:04,548 --> 00:33:06,841
the longer you wait,
the more suspicious it looks.
507
00:33:06,842 --> 00:33:09,719
If there's been any irregularity,
I had nothing to do with it.
508
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,974
Your friendship with Tusk
implies guilt by association.
509
00:33:12,975 --> 00:33:14,726
Are we presuming guilt
before innocence?
510
00:33:14,727 --> 00:33:17,312
I'm a lawyer,
I presume nothing.
511
00:33:17,313 --> 00:33:19,856
But public opinion
doesn't have a law degree.
512
00:33:21,024 --> 00:33:22,609
Give us a few moments.
513
00:33:25,989 --> 00:33:28,905
I have to advise you not to have
any conversation about this matter
514
00:33:28,906 --> 00:33:31,702
- without me present.
- Your advisement has been noted.
515
00:33:31,703 --> 00:33:33,578
I'll be right outside.
516
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:39,458
Is this what you were keeping
from me?
517
00:33:39,459 --> 00:33:41,960
We should follow
your counsel's advice
518
00:33:41,961 --> 00:33:44,212
- and not--
- Tell me if it's true, about the money.
519
00:33:44,213 --> 00:33:46,631
With Bill out of the room,
we open ourselves up to--
520
00:33:46,632 --> 00:33:51,388
Damn it, Frank! I've been in the dark
too long on this. That ends now.
521
00:33:56,643 --> 00:33:59,103
I don't know any details.
522
00:33:59,104 --> 00:34:01,938
Feng told me if the Bridge
project got approved,
523
00:34:01,939 --> 00:34:04,941
the GOP would stop getting money.
We approved it, the money stopped.
524
00:34:04,942 --> 00:34:07,904
Jesus Christ, that connects the
White House directly to the money.
525
00:34:07,905 --> 00:34:12,200
No, sir. You knew nothing,
you still know nothing.
526
00:34:12,201 --> 00:34:14,951
If the DOJ finds any concrete
evidence of foreign money--
527
00:34:14,952 --> 00:34:17,871
That's Raymond Tusk's head, not yours.
You've done nothing wrong.
528
00:34:17,872 --> 00:34:19,956
Guilt by association, Frank.
You heard the man.
529
00:34:19,957 --> 00:34:23,710
If the DOJ investigates, it
will only prove your innocence.
530
00:34:23,711 --> 00:34:26,631
Nobody walks away from something
like this without bruises.
531
00:34:26,632 --> 00:34:28,966
Well, bruises you can survive.
532
00:34:28,967 --> 00:34:31,676
I just don't know how we can
avoid it at this point.
533
00:34:31,677 --> 00:34:34,221
Unless you want to accelerate
the process and get rid of it.
534
00:34:34,222 --> 00:34:37,934
We could always have the attorney
general appoint a special prosecutor.
535
00:34:37,935 --> 00:34:40,853
- That's a terrible idea.
- Maybe so.
536
00:34:40,854 --> 00:34:44,064
And given where we are, Frank, I'm not
inclined to follow your suggestions.
537
00:34:44,065 --> 00:34:46,483
Well, I wasn't suggesting it was
something you should do.
538
00:34:46,484 --> 00:34:49,569
Just as a possibility. No, in
fact, I don't think you should.
539
00:34:49,570 --> 00:34:52,197
I think it's better to drag these
things out as long as possible.
540
00:34:52,198 --> 00:34:55,992
- Let the public fatigue on it.
- And have it hanging over our heads until the midterms?
541
00:34:55,993 --> 00:34:58,578
- It'll lose steam.
- What if it doesn't.
542
00:34:58,579 --> 00:35:01,415
I've got the Pentagon proposing tactical
drone strikes in the South China Sea.
543
00:35:01,416 --> 00:35:03,750
I can't be dealing with something
like this for months on end.
544
00:35:03,751 --> 00:35:06,627
Maybe you're right then. A special
prosecutor is the way to go.
545
00:35:06,628 --> 00:35:08,464
I didn't say that, you did.
546
00:35:08,465 --> 00:35:10,757
Oh, no. I just meant in terms
of getting it off your plate.
547
00:35:10,758 --> 00:35:12,967
It wouldn't be on my plate
if you kept me better informed.
548
00:35:12,968 --> 00:35:15,720
I have done nothing but try
to insulate you, sir.
549
00:35:15,721 --> 00:35:17,933
Is that what you call the feeding
frenzy I just went through?
550
00:35:20,060 --> 00:35:23,228
I make this solemn promise
to you, Mr. President.
551
00:35:23,229 --> 00:35:26,940
I will take the fall if it
comes to that, but it won't.
552
00:35:26,941 --> 00:35:30,651
However you decide to deal with this,
I think your instincts are right.
553
00:35:30,652 --> 00:35:33,949
We probably shouldn't
involve a special prosecutor.
554
00:35:37,744 --> 00:35:39,662
Send Bill back in.
555
00:35:43,083 --> 00:35:44,751
You knew about this.
556
00:35:46,795 --> 00:35:48,547
Tusk is a client,
doesn't mean I know everything--
557
00:35:48,548 --> 00:35:52,383
Bullshit. The reason you're
a partner at Glendon Hill
558
00:35:52,384 --> 00:35:54,636
is because you know the
things nobody else does.
559
00:35:55,887 --> 00:35:58,055
What do you want me to say?
560
00:35:58,056 --> 00:36:01,310
- Is it true?
- We don't talk about work.
561
00:36:01,311 --> 00:36:04,352
We're not in bed,
we're in my fucking office.
562
00:36:04,353 --> 00:36:06,354
And in here,
you work for Frank.
563
00:36:06,355 --> 00:36:09,234
- I work for no one but myself.
- Keep telling yourself that.
564
00:36:09,235 --> 00:36:14,905
Unlike you, I don't peddle my goods for
whoever can pay the highest retainer.
565
00:36:14,906 --> 00:36:18,241
I'm the bitch to a lot of top dogs,
I'm fully aware and willing,
566
00:36:18,242 --> 00:36:22,039
but you're worse. You're Frank's
bitch and refuse to believe it.
567
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,249
- That's not true.
- Case in fucking point.
568
00:36:25,250 --> 00:36:28,126
Don't turn this. You knew about
the money and you didn't tell me.
569
00:36:28,127 --> 00:36:30,670
Even though it's thrown
my seat into contention.
570
00:36:30,671 --> 00:36:34,215
Let's say there was money,
and let's say I did know,
571
00:36:34,216 --> 00:36:38,346
- what good would it have done?
- It means you were willing to watch me lose!
572
00:36:38,347 --> 00:36:40,514
It means I respected the
boundaries that you demanded.
573
00:36:40,515 --> 00:36:43,891
- No changes, no special treatment.
- This is different!
574
00:36:43,892 --> 00:36:47,897
- So now we're making exceptions?
- When it's this important, yes!
575
00:36:47,898 --> 00:36:50,025
You can't have it both ways.
576
00:36:53,070 --> 00:36:54,530
Were you...?
577
00:36:55,447 --> 00:36:56,739
Was I what?
578
00:36:58,325 --> 00:37:00,410
...fucking me
to get info on Frank?
579
00:37:09,752 --> 00:37:13,089
- Is that what you think?
- I don't know what to think.
580
00:37:13,090 --> 00:37:17,259
I care about
you more than I should.
581
00:37:17,260 --> 00:37:19,262
But I'm getting tired
of having to say it.
582
00:37:22,015 --> 00:37:25,766
He's being moved to a federal
psychiatric facility for assessment.
583
00:37:25,767 --> 00:37:29,481
Then a high security detention center
until the official sentencing.
584
00:37:29,482 --> 00:37:31,773
Well, that's good to hear.
585
00:37:31,774 --> 00:37:35,068
The bad news is we don't want you
doing any public events for a while.
586
00:37:35,069 --> 00:37:38,740
My bill's about to go to the floor.
I need to have a public profile.
587
00:37:38,741 --> 00:37:43,327
Your death threats continue to
rise. We can't take the risk.
588
00:37:43,328 --> 00:37:46,954
- Am I even allowed to leave the house?
- Of course.
589
00:37:46,955 --> 00:37:48,917
But we want you
to avoid large crowds.
590
00:37:48,918 --> 00:37:52,545
Our ability to protect--
Mr. Vice President.
591
00:37:52,546 --> 00:37:55,424
- Anything wrong?
- We were just briefing Mrs. Underwood
592
00:37:55,425 --> 00:37:57,592
on her new security protocol.
593
00:37:57,593 --> 00:38:00,596
- Can we actually finish this later?
- Of course.
594
00:38:04,891 --> 00:38:06,767
How did it go?
595
00:38:06,768 --> 00:38:10,313
- He's skeptical.
- Should I call Tricia?
596
00:38:10,314 --> 00:38:14,065
No. It could look like I was
trying to go behind his back.
597
00:38:14,066 --> 00:38:16,817
We'll just have to wait and see.
I made my case.
598
00:38:16,818 --> 00:38:18,572
Hopefully,
he'll disagree with it.
599
00:38:19,822 --> 00:38:21,742
But this could've
been the wrong move.
600
00:38:21,743 --> 00:38:23,951
Well, don't doubt yourself.
601
00:38:23,952 --> 00:38:26,369
Seth has gotten over 3,000
e-mails in the last six hours.
602
00:38:26,370 --> 00:38:29,872
- The phones are overloaded.
- So you ignore all that?
603
00:38:29,873 --> 00:38:32,544
I can't ignore
the Department of Justice.
604
00:38:32,545 --> 00:38:34,212
What can I do?
605
00:38:35,464 --> 00:38:37,507
Come and visit me
when I'm in prison.
606
00:38:52,689 --> 00:38:55,108
You don't have
to stand by that door.
607
00:39:01,740 --> 00:39:04,325
Take a load off.
608
00:39:04,326 --> 00:39:06,828
Thank you, sir, but I'm
supposed to stay on my feet.
609
00:39:06,829 --> 00:39:09,246
Well, I won't tell
if you won't.
610
00:39:09,247 --> 00:39:13,459
And if anybody gives you
any trouble about this,
611
00:39:13,460 --> 00:39:17,297
or anything,
they can talk to me.
612
00:39:22,177 --> 00:39:24,846
- Beautiful night.
- Yes, sir.
613
00:39:27,432 --> 00:39:30,809
It's been strange not having
you around these last few days.
614
00:39:30,810 --> 00:39:32,769
You want me to switch back
to your detail?
615
00:39:32,770 --> 00:39:34,897
No, no. I'm glad
you're with Claire.
616
00:39:35,983 --> 00:39:37,984
I just...
617
00:39:37,985 --> 00:39:42,404
...didn't realize how much I got used
to your company until you were gone.
618
00:39:42,405 --> 00:39:45,742
Protecting her is the same
as protecting you, in my mind.
619
00:39:50,747 --> 00:39:52,081
Oh, come on.
620
00:40:07,222 --> 00:40:11,100
- Why do you do this?
- Do what, sir?
621
00:40:12,311 --> 00:40:14,395
I've always been awestruck,
622
00:40:14,396 --> 00:40:18,524
people who are willing to take
a bullet for someone else.
623
00:40:18,525 --> 00:40:22,904
- That's how I serve my country.
- Well, there's a lot of ways to serve your country.
624
00:40:23,864 --> 00:40:25,866
And this is my way.
625
00:40:29,536 --> 00:40:32,539
- I haven't finished with this one yet.
- It's not for you.
626
00:40:33,665 --> 00:40:35,666
I can't drink on duty, ma'am.
627
00:40:35,667 --> 00:40:37,752
It's not for you either.
628
00:40:37,753 --> 00:40:40,213
[chuckles] Well, come on over
and join the party.
629
00:40:45,052 --> 00:40:47,721
Haven't you got sick
of seeing my face yet?
630
00:40:47,722 --> 00:40:49,514
Never, ma'am.
631
00:40:52,975 --> 00:40:57,438
To Meechum,
for his loyalty and service.
632
00:40:57,439 --> 00:40:59,148
To Edward.
633
00:41:05,072 --> 00:41:08,283
[Raymond] I'm on my way
to my lawyer's office, Remy.
634
00:41:08,284 --> 00:41:12,536
That's not where I want to be
when I'd usually be in bed.
635
00:41:12,537 --> 00:41:15,956
I can't stop Frank
from leaking things.
636
00:41:15,957 --> 00:41:20,210
No, but you can make sure
he suffers more than us.
637
00:41:20,211 --> 00:41:25,925
And I say "us," Remy, because your
skin is in this game now, too.
638
00:41:25,926 --> 00:41:28,970
- Are you gonna deny?
- Of course I'm gonna deny.
639
00:41:28,971 --> 00:41:31,513
Every step of this was legal.
640
00:41:31,514 --> 00:41:33,890
They can't prove
the links between them.
641
00:41:33,891 --> 00:41:38,478
- What about Lanagin?
- He'll cooperate. It's Feng we need to worry about.
642
00:41:38,479 --> 00:41:41,065
I'll find a way
to get in touch with him.
643
00:41:41,066 --> 00:41:43,693
We do have one major advantage.
644
00:41:43,694 --> 00:41:48,113
The public can hate me,
but as long as Clayton West
645
00:41:48,114 --> 00:41:51,033
remains profitable, my
stockholders won't care.
646
00:41:51,034 --> 00:41:54,119
Frank doesn't
have the same liberty.
647
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:59,207
Public opinion can demolish him. You
need to make sure that happens.
648
00:41:59,208 --> 00:42:01,125
I can work with
the Republicans on that.
649
00:42:01,126 --> 00:42:03,210
Well, we'll be under the
magnifying glass too.
650
00:42:03,211 --> 00:42:04,838
This will be a witch hunt.
651
00:42:04,839 --> 00:42:06,758
I'll make sure that they pick
the right targets.
652
00:42:08,343 --> 00:42:10,804
What you need to do
is go after the leadership.
653
00:42:10,805 --> 00:42:15,641
Make them hurt. They'll turn on
Frank to save themselves.
654
00:42:15,642 --> 00:42:18,311
Birch, Womack, Sharp.
655
00:42:18,312 --> 00:42:22,607
Especially Jackie Sharp.
She's his chosen one.
656
00:42:24,985 --> 00:42:29,571
- Remy?
- I heard you. I got my marching orders.
657
00:42:29,572 --> 00:42:32,700
- I'm counting on you.
- I'll deliver.
658
00:42:32,701 --> 00:42:35,536
Let's talk in the morning.
659
00:42:35,537 --> 00:42:38,454
The two names I like the most are
Justin Gaines and Heather Dunbar.
660
00:42:38,455 --> 00:42:39,998
Gaines has better credentials.
661
00:42:39,999 --> 00:42:41,749
But he's close
to the administration.
662
00:42:41,750 --> 00:42:43,001
I would've made him
a federal judge
663
00:42:43,002 --> 00:42:44,669
if the GOP hadn't blocked it.
664
00:42:44,670 --> 00:42:46,504
That's an important point.
Dunbar's got grit.
665
00:42:46,505 --> 00:42:48,631
- She's more than qualified.
- No baggage there?
666
00:42:48,632 --> 00:42:51,509
- She's more unpredictable.
- I doubt the attorney general
667
00:42:51,510 --> 00:42:53,471
would've put her on his list if
he thought she was a wild card.
668
00:42:53,472 --> 00:42:57,058
Sir, I have to say,
I think this step is premature.
669
00:42:57,059 --> 00:43:00,018
We should hold off and see what
the DOJ does on its own.
670
00:43:00,019 --> 00:43:02,520
I don't want to do it,
Bill, but my fear is this:
671
00:43:02,521 --> 00:43:04,856
if we wait until the water
goes from hot to boiling,
672
00:43:04,857 --> 00:43:06,524
we seem reactionary,
not proactive.
673
00:43:06,525 --> 00:43:09,276
But proactive could
also seem defensive.
674
00:43:09,277 --> 00:43:12,530
Like the suspect that screams "I
didn't do it" before anyone asks.
675
00:43:12,531 --> 00:43:15,659
Aside from that, we simply
haven't had time to prepare.
676
00:43:15,660 --> 00:43:18,118
- Maybe wait a couple of weeks.
- That defeats the purpose.
677
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:20,079
- Then a few days.
- I'd like to go with Dunbar.
678
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,915
- Sir--
- I've made my decision.
679
00:43:21,916 --> 00:43:25,459
Bill, I'd like you to convey my
wishes to the attorney general.
680
00:43:25,460 --> 00:43:28,796
Ultimately, the decision is his. We
can't appear to be pressuring him.
681
00:43:28,797 --> 00:43:31,092
- Of course not.
- Thank you, sir.
682
00:43:33,929 --> 00:43:37,847
The only thing more satisfying than
convincing someone to do what I want,
683
00:43:37,848 --> 00:43:40,266
is failing to persuade them
on purpose.
684
00:43:40,267 --> 00:43:44,812
It's like a "Do Not Enter" sign, it
just begs you to walk through the door.
685
00:43:44,813 --> 00:43:47,023
[Doug] Doyle's about halfway through
our initial background check.
686
00:43:47,024 --> 00:43:49,108
Every donor,
every political event.
687
00:43:49,109 --> 00:43:50,651
Everything that Dunbar
might be looking into.
688
00:43:50,652 --> 00:43:53,905
- Good. Seth?
- We avoid any official statement,
689
00:43:53,906 --> 00:43:55,740
follow the president's cue.
690
00:43:55,741 --> 00:43:58,076
In the meantime, I'd like to
make some off the record calls.
691
00:43:58,077 --> 00:44:00,620
You welcome the investigation,
it's the right step, et cetera.
692
00:44:00,621 --> 00:44:02,204
Give folks the personal touch.
693
00:44:02,205 --> 00:44:04,373
That's fine, as long
as we don't come off defensive.
694
00:44:04,374 --> 00:44:06,001
I'd like to see a list
of who you'd be calling.
695
00:44:06,002 --> 00:44:07,752
Some of this is gonna be
on the fly,
696
00:44:07,753 --> 00:44:09,629
it'd be great
if I had a little leeway.
697
00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:11,255
Let Seth do his thing, you'll
have your hands full with Doyle.
698
00:44:11,256 --> 00:44:12,506
I'll let you know
who I've called.
699
00:44:12,507 --> 00:44:14,052
All right, let's get to work.
700
00:44:22,102 --> 00:44:23,478
Sir?
701
00:44:24,646 --> 00:44:27,147
Yes, what is it?
702
00:44:27,148 --> 00:44:29,107
I understand that
you need to delegate,
703
00:44:29,108 --> 00:44:30,691
but when you contradict me
in front of Seth,
704
00:44:30,692 --> 00:44:32,276
it compromises
my authority over him.
705
00:44:32,277 --> 00:44:34,280
You can't micromanage,
we have too much to do.
706
00:44:34,281 --> 00:44:36,782
Seth is still new to the team.
707
00:44:36,783 --> 00:44:38,994
I need to make sure that
he's doing his job properly.
708
00:44:38,995 --> 00:44:43,331
- Well, I think he is.
- I'm your fail-safe, sir.
709
00:44:43,332 --> 00:44:45,416
But I can't be that
if you won't let me.
710
00:44:52,172 --> 00:44:53,882
Are you, Doug?
711
00:44:53,883 --> 00:44:58,553
- My failsafe?
- Do you doubt that?
712
00:44:58,554 --> 00:45:01,305
We're flying full throttle
into a hurricane,
713
00:45:01,306 --> 00:45:03,265
and you're talking
office politics
714
00:45:03,266 --> 00:45:07,229
instead of focusing on making
sure we don't get ripped apart.
715
00:45:08,773 --> 00:45:11,232
You're right, sir.
716
00:45:11,233 --> 00:45:13,070
I shouldn't have brought it up.
717
00:45:54,695 --> 00:45:57,946
- Is she still there?
- Yeah.
718
00:45:57,947 --> 00:46:00,574
I told her I was
going for a walk.
719
00:46:00,575 --> 00:46:04,705
Look, Doug, I know you said you wanted
her gone, but you have to understand--
720
00:46:04,706 --> 00:46:07,330
She can stay.
721
00:46:07,331 --> 00:46:11,086
- What?
- She doesn't have to leave, she can stay.
722
00:46:12,378 --> 00:46:14,463
I trust you to be smart.
723
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:20,970
Will you read to me?
724
00:46:24,264 --> 00:46:27,102
- My Bible's inside.
- Doesn't have to be the Bible.
725
00:46:27,103 --> 00:46:30,146
Just pull up something
on your phone.
726
00:46:33,942 --> 00:46:39,655
- Like what?
- A Tale of Two Cities. My mom used to read it to me.
727
00:46:51,584 --> 00:46:55,921
"It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times,
728
00:46:55,922 --> 00:46:58,800
it was the age of wisdom,
729
00:46:59,968 --> 00:47:02,595
it was the age of foolishness,
730
00:47:03,930 --> 00:47:05,514
it was the epoch of belief,
731
00:47:05,515 --> 00:47:08,100
it was the epoch
of incredulity,
732
00:47:08,101 --> 00:47:09,850
it was the season of Light,
733
00:47:09,851 --> 00:47:11,727
it was the season of Darkness,
734
00:47:11,728 --> 00:47:13,313
it was the spring of hope,
735
00:47:13,314 --> 00:47:15,482
it was the winter of despair,
736
00:47:15,483 --> 00:47:17,943
we had everything before us,
737
00:47:17,944 --> 00:47:20,737
we had nothing before us,
738
00:47:20,738 --> 00:47:22,780
we were all going
direct to Heaven,
739
00:47:22,781 --> 00:47:25,034
we were all going
direct the other way."
740
00:47:31,833 --> 00:47:33,376
Hello?
741
00:47:40,340 --> 00:47:42,093
Doug, is that you?
742
00:47:45,888 --> 00:47:47,056
Hello?
743
00:47:51,853 --> 00:47:53,062
Hello?
744
00:47:54,647 --> 00:47:56,274
Doug?
745
00:47:57,942 --> 00:47:59,609
[beeping]
746
00:47:59,610 --> 00:48:02,197
Yes, Doug, it is you.
747
00:48:03,991 --> 00:48:07,660
