Owner's coming in next week.Anybody off the books, he'll be on my ass.If I switch some doubles with Benito, is that okay?Whatever you and him wanna work out.Welcome to Caracas. The time is 3:21--We've been lying for a long time, Francis.Of course we have.Imagine what the voters would think if we started telling the truth. Not to them.To each other.What do you mean?You know what? Never mind.No. How have we been lying to each other?- We're not. - You just said that.We've begun our final descent into Des Moines.Please find a seat and put your seat belts on.Should we talk?No. I shouldn't have said anything.Where is she?Tell me where she is.I don't know, man.- You don't know? - I don't know.God!I'm not asking again.- My computer. - I tried that.- It's locked. - I'll give you the code.- You don't have anything more? - That's all I have.- How current is this? - She's there, I promise.I found you once. I can find you again.If this information is wrong, you die.You try to contact her, you die.Frank Underwood is a dangerous man.Because power in the hands of those who lack honesty,lacks a moral compass.And without a moral compass, power runs amok.Heather Dunbar can question my husband's choices.She can criticize his policies.But to cast aspersions on his character is proof of desperation. If he will lie about the death of a US soldier,what else is he lying about?We know he already lied about not running in 2016.The people of Iowa know better.They see the same man I see:a strong, decisive leader who doesn't always do what's popular, but he always does what's right.The decision you make next Tuesdayis one you'll live with for years.For three decades, I've stood by my husband's side.Because I know he stands up for people like you.You have the power to choose.Choose progress over pettiness.You have the power, not him.Choose a president over a charlatan.Ladies and gentlemen, my husband,President Frank Underwood.Thank you! Thank you very much.I'm gonna give you one good reasonwhy Heather Dunbar doesn't stand a chance on Tuesday. She doesn't have Claire Underwood standing by her side.I want to spend a few minutes talking about the future that we are going to build together.And I say together, because I can't do it alone.I need your help.Meet me out back.- You have it? - Yeah. How about you?Cassie Lockhart.Social Security card, driver's license, birth certificate.It's all legit.Why "Cassie"? It's not even a real first name.I mean, if it were short for something, like Cassandra.- But as your legal name? - It's all there.Hey, Cassie, take a hundred back if you want it.My truck's right there.You keep it.Come on. I gave you a big discount. Show some gratitude. Go home to your wife... and kids.I want you to fuck me, Francis.- I'm working. - Shut up.What is going on?I want you to be rough with me.- Take me. - Claire.- Now, listen. - Do it. Now!Is this what you want?- You want this? - Yes.- Yes. - You want it rough?I want you to look at me.Look at me while you do it.That's what I thought.Yes, I'd like to arrange a room for the First Lady, please. Yes, right away.I think you should go back to Washington in the morning. Sorry I'm late. I did a double at the store last night.- No worries. - I'll work quick.About 200,000 miles.It's not much to look at, but... it runs well.- How much? - Twelve hundred.But I don't got a title, sotechnically, you're just buying it for parts.Have gas in the tank?Yeah, you can drive her right out.- You'll need plates, though. - I got plates.- Cash okay? - It's all we take.Underwood! Underwood! Underwood!Yes, I'm good.Ladies and gentlemen,the President of the United States, Frank Underwood!Thank you! Thank you very much.It's good to be back in Iowa City!Claire couldn't be here today, but she wants you to knowshe's a big Hawkeyes fan.Now here, at one of the country's finest public universities,I wanna talk to you about Heather Dunbar's preference for--- Hey, can you do another double tomorrow? - Yeah, no problem. - All right, have a good night. - You, too.Hi, I'm Cassie Lockhart.Hello. Cassie.Cassie. C-A-double-S-I-E.Lockhart. L-O-C-K-H-A-R-T.April 21st-- Just a second! -I've got rent money for you--No, no, no, no. I have good news.Bianca got her protected status.Oh, my God! That's so great!She says thank you for all your help with her paperwork.- Of course. - We're celebrating.Maria got a bottle from her Thursday house.They gave it to me for the holidays.This is nice.I know, it's really terrible.She has family in Houston.They're gonna help her get into community college.I'm so happy for her.What about you, eh? You're not staying here forever.Once I save up enough, I want to get my own car.And have enough for my own place.Here in Santa?Up north, I think. In the woods somewhere.I miss the trees and the rain.Someplace quiet.Something new.Yeah.Well, you're a smart girl, Lisa.I'm sure you're gonna get everything you want.If Bianca can do it, you can.To Bianca! And her new life.- Salud! - Salud!Sir?Do you think she can join us tomorrow?- The press are starting to ask. - If we win,it'll be strange if she isn't standing next to youfor your victory speech.Even stranger if you have to make a concession speech.If I have to make a concession speech,the absence of the First Lady will be the least of our problems. I'm going for a run. Can you arrange the detail, please?Ma'am, if you run in public, it might...Might what?I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll take care of it right away.No, if it's a problem with me running, tell me.It might highlight the fact that you're not in Iowa.Right there, please.Quiet.Help! No!You want me to put you out again?Open your mouth. Open it.I won't make any noise.You make one sound, or you move an inch...- What? - I won't.I won't scream or anything.Nataly puts the ball on the 44 ya--Jesus is knocking on--Less than 24 hours to go before the Iowa caucuses,the Republicans have a broad field with no clear front-runner. For the Democrats,President Underwood has gained momentum in the polls.A rise that many political experts are attributingto the recent appearance of Claire Underwood in the-- Every major poll has it as a dead heat,with both candidates hovering at 45 percent.That still leaves one in ten likely caucus-goerswho won't be making their decision until tomorrow evening. Mrs. Underwood, the president is on the phone for you.President Underwood spent the last full day of campaigning traversing the state, completing his tour of all 99 Iowa counties. - Hello? - Listen.No matter what happens tomorrow night, I want you by my side. Are you open to that?Claire?I'll fly out in the morning.No, no. You can come in the afternoon.You don't have to do any events or press, just...be there with me when I make my speech.- I said yes. - Thank you.Of course.Last night...Let's not. I'll see you tomorrow.- All right. Good night. - Good night.I'm sorry for what I did to you.I wish I could take it back.I told you to be quiet.I thought I killed you.When I heard on the news you were alive, I felt so relieved.- I doubt that. - I mean it.I would pray for you.Probably sounds strange, but it's true.I would, because I felt so bad. You didn't deserve what I did. None of this is going to change anything.Where are we going?Doesn't matter.Is it gonna be a while? 'Cause I have to pee.You can pee back there.You don't want that. The smell.It's either that or you hold it.- It hurts. - Too bad.All right then, I'm gonna do it.Mrs. Underwood.Please, come sit.Thank you for coming.I'm sorry for how everything has worked out. It's unfortunate. I'm sure it's been difficult for you,with all of the effort you put in.Is this how it works?He nixes the book, you soften the blow?No, Tom, it's not that.Francis doesn't even know I asked you here.Why did you ask me?Because I was wondering if...we could talk honestly to each other.If you'd be open to that.- About what? - New Hampshire.Did you let me pass out that day on purpose?When I was giving blood.I let you keep talking. I didn't know you'd pass out.And you didn't see it coming?You had things you wanted to say.And what did I say... before I blacked out?Was there anything else other than what you wrote?You don't remember?Some. But not all of it.I'm asking for me. Because I need to know.Hatred.For how much you and Frank needed each other.I used that word? Hate?You did.And of all the moments...that you spent with Francis and myself, you...You believe that we're equals?I got fired, Mrs. Underwood. I'm not on the clock anymore. There's a lot more to Francis and me than what you wrote. Maybe so, but I never got a chance to ask.Then ask. Whatever you want.Why aren't you with him? In Iowa?I'm heading there tomorrow.You see?I ask a question, and neither of you answer them.It's tiresome, constantly swinging a sledgehammer at the façade, just to get a glimpse through the cracks.Tell me what you see.Somebody who's lost.But I don't know.Maybe it's all for the best.I'd rather imagine who you might bethan who you actually are.Good luck, Claire.That's enough.- It calms me. - Then sing it in your head.You're gonna be able to live with yourself?What's the point?I can't hurt you.No one's ever gonna find me or know who I am.I'm never gonna say anything.Quiet.If it's about punishing me, you don't have to.This last year, some of the things I've had to do,I wouldn't wish it on anyone.I said quiet.What did the overnight internals say?Still a toss-up. Less than half a point gap.- Her or me? - Doesn't matter.The margin of error is four-point-five.The last few days, the lead's gone back and forth three times. Bottom line is turnout.- Sir? - Yes, I'm almost ready.May I speak to you for a moment privately?- Yes. Thank you. - I'll be right outside.I just got word that Mrs. Underwood has postponed her flight here.- What? Why? - I don't know, sir.Also, Agent Swift, the head of her detail...he said Tom Yates came to the residence last night.- Tell Vaughn I'll be down in a few minutes. - Yes, sir.This is Claire. Please leave a message.This is Claire. Please leave a message.It's me. When you get this message, will you please call me? Listen, if you breathe deeply,you're gonna pass out right away.- Please. - Then nothing's gonna hurt.Doug, please. Please.Help!No one can hear you. Lie down, Rachel.Look, Rachel's gone!That is who I am now.Look, I know you don't want to do this.You-- You could--You could've done it in the parking lot last night,but you didn't, you kept me alive!I know this isn't who you are.Please.Please. Please. Please, just let me go.Please.Doug.Doug, please. Please. Please just let me go.- Please! Doug! Please! - Fuck!The president is on the line for you again.You told him I'm not feeling well?Yes, ma'am. He'd still like to speak with you.Tell him I'm sleeping.I'm sleeping. Please tell him.Yes, ma'am.Here.I don't know why you had to run that night.All I ever tried to do was keep you safe.I was afraid. I wasn't thinking.I'm sorry.I know you have a good heart.You're saying that because you want me to let you go. Look at me.Look at me, Doug.You don't have to kill Rachel.She's already dead.She died in those woods, and it's better that way.She didn't have a very good life.But... But if you do this,you're not killing Rachel, you're killing Cassie. And...all Cassie Lockhart wants to be is someplace far away. Someplace where nobody'll ever find her.She likes to go to the movie theater.It doesn't matter what's showing,just... she likes the smell of the popcorn.She wants a dog.A black lab.And a queen-size bed.Lots of blankets to curl up in. She doesn't want much. She just wants to be invisible.Hey, look at me.My name is Cassie Lockhart.Give me your ankles.Give me your hands.Come on.Let's go.Some water.There's a town 20 miles that way.First off, I'd like to congratulate President Underwood for his victory here tonight.It was a tight race and he came out on top.No. No, no, no, no!Let's not be sore losers here.Because the truth is, we haven't lost.We are just getting started!I want to thank all the staff and volunteerswho worked so hard over the past several months.We should get going.I want to try Claire one more time. See if she'll come out. That's three hours from now, even if she left this minute.But the crowd will wait.We don't want to squander primetime.A speech at one in the morning, we lose major viewership.My children and my dear husband...Fine. Let's go.How do you want to handle the stage if she's not on it?I won't need a stage.Thank you for coming out.Thank you very much. Thank you.Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.Well, Iowa has spoken.And they have spoken so loud,that I don't even need a microphone.Listen, I wanted to come down hereto our campaign headquarters in Des Moines,not go to some fancy hotel ballroom like you know who,and say to all of you who worked day in and day out,on our behalf for this campaign, in every corner of this state... It's because of you that we brought it home tonight!Now, I know you're all wondering where Claire is.Some of you may know she's been a little under the weather. She's from Texas.She doesn't understand these Iowa winters you have.But she's on the mend and I'm flying to Washington tonight, so that tomorrow she and I can get on a planeand fly to New Hampshire, where we are gonna win there, too!Claire.They told me you were down here.I just wanted to come somewhere to think.Well, I hope you have.And that whatever was clouding your mind is gone. Because I just had to give a victory speech... alone.And one way or another,I need you on that plane with me tomorrow.No. The desk.Left-hand drawer.You still have this.Yes.It felt wrong to throw it out, for some reason.When I said we were lying, what I meant was...For all these years, I thought we were on this path together. But it's not what I thought it would be.What I convinced myself it would be,like what Thomas wrote.- We're two equal parts. - We are.You really believe that?We earned this together.I said that to your facethe first day I walked in here as president.It's your office. Not mine.I have not made a single major decisionwithout asking your opinion first.But see, that's it. You make the decisions.Anything that I want, like the UN...It made me ill, Francis. My stomach turned.Why, because you had to resign?No, because I had to ask for your help in the first place.That I couldn't get the confirmation on my own.And what is wrong with asking for my help when you need it? The fact that I need it.I hate that feeling. It's not me.I don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror.I do things... like I did in the hotel in Iowa.I can't even talk with you about it.Instead you want me to slap you around like some animal.That's what we are when we strip everything away.- That I can understand! - It was deranged,begging me to take you like that.And you couldn't even give that to me.If you wanted a husband who proved his manhood to you that way, you should've stayed back in Dallas with your motherand married the prom king.At least I would've known where I stood.No, you can't have it both ways.You want an equal partner when it suits you?You want a man to take charge when it suits you?And I'm supposed to what, just divine when you want which? Stop being so selfish. You're better than that.- I'm not being selfish. - You are.We're in the middle of an election, and look at us. That's exactly it. Look at us, Francis.We used to make each other stronger.At least I thought so, but that was a lie.We were making you stronger.And now I'm just weak and small,and I can't stand that feeling any longer.All right. What do you want?What is the goddamn alternative?Please, Claire, tell me, because I don't understand. All I am hearing is, it's not enough.That the White House is not enough.That being First Lady is not enough.- Not enough! - No.It's you that's not enough.When we lose... because of you...there will be nothing.No plan. No future.We will only be has-beens.And you want to amount to something?Well, here is the brutal fucking truth.And you can hate me, you can be disgusted,you can feel whatever it is you wanna feel because frankly, I'm beyond caring.But without me, you are nothing.You're right. This office has one chair.And you have always known that from the very beginning.And if you now can't stomach that,well, then I'm a fool for having married you in the first place. But I don't have time to be a fool.I have to run this country and win a nomination.I'm doing my job.Doug is out there doing his job.And it's time now for you to do yours.You want me to take charge? Fine. I will take charge.You will get on that plane tomorrow.You will come to New Hampshire.You will smile and shake hands and kiss babies.And you will stand with me on a stage.And you will be the First Lady!And you do all that.I don't give a damn if you vomit on your own time.You're scheduled to depart in 20 minutes, sir.Thank you. Check in with the First Lady, make sure she's ready. Yes, sir.So?Are you okay?I'm good to go, sir.Yes?Ma'am, the president wanted me to check and see if you're ready. Ma'am?Francis.I'm not going to New Hampshire. Yes, you are. I'll see you in the car. I'm leaving you.Claire.。

Less than 20% are comfortablewith a president and a vice president being related in any way. Less than 10% approve of someone who's never held elected office. But if we can move the needle...Forty points?It's how we frame it.Her favorables are decent. They're better than mine.In a void, but when it comes to her time as the UN ambassador, they fall off a cliff.Performance and experience are big factors.Then we have to amplify her strengths, not her weaknesses.We're looking for a VP who's an asset.This research proves she isn't.Your job is not to dissuade me, but to figure out how we sell it. Sir, there are so many people to choose from.If the goal is to win,- and we're bending over backwards-- -Seth.The president asked us to develop a plan,so that's what we'll do.I'll meet you in my office.- You know he's right. - Well, of course he's right.Maybe we offer something else.She won't listen.What about LeAnn?Yes, I was thinking that, too.Question is how to co-opt her.She likes paychecks.No, it's gotta be more than money. She wants coattails.We swap Claire's for mine.- Campaign manager? - We could use some fresh blood. That I agree with, but LeAnn?I mean, there's no guarantee that we can control her. Yeah, but if she can convince Claire to change her mind, that's all I need.Yes.They're ready for you in the Situation Room, sir.I'll be right there.You could work with her if you had to.I don't have to like her to work with her.- Good, make the call. - You still want Seth on the plan? Yes, until LeAnn's on board. Do I have to worry about him? We dug pretty deep. Nothing in his emails or phone records. He's smart enough to cover his tracks.I'll talk to him.- What do you think of this painting? - I'm not sure. Walker and I sat here one night, stared up at a painting,the blue one that's in the Oval now.They replaced it with this.That's not the American flag.No, it's the rebel flag...sinking into oblivion.Is that a lightning bolt?Oh, I assume...Unless it's just a bad attempt at making the ship a unicorn.Do you see that?Colors are nice.I hate it.I guess I hate it, too.I suppose it's not a good idea to havethe Confederate flag hanging here in the White Houseafter everything that's happened in South Carolina.Even if it is sinking.What do you think we should put up?I don't know. Something you like better.Do you have that marker I sign things with?Put your hand up on the wall.- Sir? - Put it on the wall.Spread your fingers a little bit.Wait. Okay.Yeah... That's enough fun for today. -Doug, I don't know how to do what he's asking me to do.- There is not some magical-- - The leaks.- Was it you? - Are you serious?Very.I handed over all of my correspondence, just like everyone else. Doesn't prove anything.I'm trying to save this campaign.If I wanted to sabotage it, I'd let the president do it himself,instead of fighting back on this VP thing.Or that's just a cover.I've been in the trenches for the past yearwhile you've been gone, and now you doubt me?I don't need this.You got this job by digging up dirt.If you can't trust me by now,I don't know what I'm doing here.Are you saying you wanna resign?That is the last thing that I want,but you're not giving me any incentive to stay.All right. Fuck it.Seth, I'm choosing to believe you right now,but if I come to regret that decision--You won't, because it's not me.I still think it could be Meechum.It wasn't.- You're sure? - I'm positive.And so is the president.May I go?Or did you want to discuss the plan for the First Lady?I have some calls to make. I'll come to your office after. Get me LeAnn Harvey.Milkin will be staying with this man, Anton Khalski. He owned the second-largest bank in Russiauntil Petrov seized it in 2013.Khalski fled across the border to Estonia.We'll have Milkin's plane fly to Tallinn,then he'll travel by boat to Khalski's summer house on Saaremaa. Tomorrow we'll unfreeze Milkin's American assetsand transfer them to Khalski's Swiss accounts.Khalski will reach out to his Russian military friendsand then start buying them off.Are the FSB monitoring Khalski?Closely. They'll know we're behind this.- When Moscow confronts us? - We'll deny, of course.Are we prepared if Petrov overreacts?The Sixth Fleet has a presence near the Bosphorus,we have patrols in the North Sea.- Draft the order. - Sir, if I may?- Yeah, we've discussed this, Cathy. - Yes, sir.I feel obligatedto raise my very strong objections. The diplomatic cost to us--If diplomacy were working,we wouldn't have to consider this course of action, would we? - I've voiced my concerns. - Thank you, everyone.You're not going to surprise meby putting the president on, are you?No, it's just us. He filled me in, though,- on the First Lady's request. - And?We wanna make you campaign manager.Look at your email.- What is this? - Our research.It all boils down to the same thing.You ran a few polls, so what?- Focus groups, too. - Meaningless.Not these numbers.Claire can't be on the ticket. You know she can't.This isn't something you can isolate on its own.If gas prices hit $6 a gallon, you're fucked.- You lose every key demo. - We're well aware.But if the president makes Claire his running mate,it makes the conversation tactical instead of economic.That buys you time on the Russia crisis.You solve that, confidence in the presidenttranslates into confidence in his choice--I didn't call you to be convinced.I called to offer you a job.- Only to get to Mrs. Underwood. -This isn't just about her. We need you. You'll turn this campaign around.I'm surprised, Doug. I didn't think you were very fond of me. I'm fond of talent. So is the president.My loyalty is to the First Lady.All I'm asking is that you talk to her.I'll tell you what. I'll show Claire your researchif you show the president mine.I can agree to that.I shouldn't even be talking to you, Heather.I'm seriously concerned that there's been an abuse of power. Madam Attorney General? Mr. Stamper, um, is ready to see you now. I'll be right there.I gotta go.The agent in charge of the operationgot a promotion directly after.- Listen-- - Martha, if the president,or one of his staff... If anyone strong-armed the bureauinto pursuing Lucas Goodwin,then you know that's an abuse of power.I work for the president.I am about to sit down with his Chief of Staff.- The law is the law. - This is politics, not the law.Not true. You brought me onas solicitor general because of my integrity.I am bringing this to you because of yours.Madam Attorney General.I really need to go.If a sliver of Goodwin's story holds up...How did you even find this?Did your oppo team speak to someone in WITSEC?Because if that's the case, then that sort of breach is not--- I spoke to him myself, personally. - You what?He came to me. He tracked me down.I'm not touching this, Heather.Doug, sorry about that.- No-- - I was just on with the Chief Justice.- Don't be silly, come on in. - Thank you.- This way. - Thanks so much.I don't know. She didn't do that well as ambassador.She wasn't experienced enough.Hold on, she was an ambassador?- At the United Nations. - Chris, don't you watch the news?How many of you feel the same?Any other reasons, besides lack of experience?Well, she was really impulsive when she had that outburst in Moscow. Well, she never should've been there in the first place.I mean, the Senate voted her down,and then her husband just appoints her?That's not right.Okay, see, I like her as a person, but I agree,she should stick to being First Lady.So, he's hoping you'll convince me to let it go.Look, I'd make a killing compared to what you've paid me,but you and I talked about making a real mark.My father really liked Francis.But as my daddy, he said to me, the day before we got married, "You have one life, Claire.Are you sure this is the man you wanna spend it with?"What did you say?I said I didn't want to live my life full of doubts.Well, I think Francis wants me to doubt myself.- What was that? - My mother... killing a lizard.- I'll get the door for you, ma'am. - I can open the door myself. Watch your step. There's blood on the floor.I want you to take this to the president, in person.- Try to get on a plane tonight if you can. - Of course.This one's for you.- It's warm. - At least it's free.I may need to cash in my insurance.What's going on?Tell me what my position would be if she wins the nomination. Is it the attorney general?- The what? - Never mind.For running mate?It's way too early for running mates. He hasn't even won.- Are we talking about the same thing? - You go first.It doesn't work that way.Well, you're the one looking for a job.You can either involve me,or you can start readingheadlines about Dunbar pushing a marriage story.That would blow you up.Doug's already suspicious. I've got nothing to lose.So which is it?Lucas Goodwin.He was an editor... at The Herald, the one who--- We spoke to him. - Isn't he in prison?Not anymore.He's scheduled to depart at 0930 hours.That'll put him in Tallinn shortly before dawn.Our station chief is standing by with the escort to Saaremaa. This is the executive order.- Sir-- - Cathy, I've made my decision.- Hourly updates once he lands. - Yes, sir.Thank you all very much.Tell Doug I'm ready.Please, have a seat, LeAnn.I'm delighted you've agreed to come on board.It's my understanding there is a condition attached.Well, yes.And she understands that condition? You've spoken with her? Oh, my apologies, sir. I wasn't clear.I meant our condition, not yours.On Super Tuesday.It's a long trip to deliver this in person.Well, it's not the sort of thingyou'd want to end up in the wrong hands.Are you staying here in Washington?No, I'm going straight back.Is there anything you'd like me to tell the First Lady?Tell her she'll have her answer by this evening.Thank you, Mr. President.Have a safe trip back, Ms. Harvey.I'll show myself out.For quite some time, the president and I have been growing apart. Have Meechum step in here.We've attempted to save our marriage,but after great effort, I've come to the conclusionthat it can't be saved.It is with great regret that I announce todayI'm filing for divorce.- We have to stop her. - Before she gets to the airport?No, I mean Claire.You asked for me, sir?Come in.Both the cell and the landline--We're on lockdown, ma'am. We had to scramble all the-- Lockdown? What are you talking about?I'm gonna need you to stay in the house.- What-- - I'm sorry, ma'am.You can't force me to stay in here.There is a current, highly credible threat to your life--I need to speak to your supervising--I am the head of your detail here in Dallas, ma'am,and I've been ordered to keep you securely in this house.Go Underwood!- Listen. - Blunderwood! Blunderwood!Do you know what they're chanting? "Blunderwood."And if I were their English professor,why, I would give them all an "A" for cleverness......but a "D" for accuracy.But that's part of being president.You make enemies,and you can hear some of mine just outside, right now.So, I am grateful to each and every one of youfor coming out and showing your support today.It's because of you we will win this nomination,and that's why I came to your college today.Now, of course, I knewthat there would be protesters here today...and I could've chosen not to come,or I could choose to avoid them as I leave,but I'm not going to do that,because those students out there, your fellow classmates,I'm their president, too.And whether they vote for me or not, I have to lead them as well. So, it's important to hear them, to talk to them,to listen to their ideas,because, just as you're learning in college,a diversity of ideas makes us all wiser,and that holds true even for your president.True leadershipis not running away from those who disagree with you,but embracing them,and that is exactly what I intend to do when I'm done today.I'm gonna go out and embrace that entire crowd.Shouldn't we be taking a military plane?That would draw attention.Relax.Everything's been worked out. You're in good hands.Here, get some sleep.It's gonna be a long trip tonight.Blunderwood! Blunderwood!- Any news? - Everything's secure, sir.We love you, Underwood!Thank you all for coming out,even those of you who don't entirely support me.- Way to go, Mr. President! - Thank you.I wanna try to hear what it is that you disagree with me about.I understand not everyone's for me.- No more wars! - Go back to Gaffney!Hello, how are you? Thank you for coming out.Hello, thank you for coming out.- You're doing a great job! - We know what you are!Hello.All right, I'm here to try to listen to you,but probably one at a time is gonna be a little better.Okay, maybe we could have a conversation, more one-on-one. It's difficult to hear you.I understand what you don't believe in, but what are you for? That would be a good question. All right, how about you?You've been yelling at me for a little while.What do you think I should be doing differently?- You should resign. - Well, now,I'm not asking for your vote,but what would you do if you were president?You're ruining our country!I came out here to try to listen to what you wanna say,but if all you're gonna do is scream--Gun!- Let's go! - Get him out of here.- Move! Move! - Go, go, go!There has been an attempted assassination of the president. President Frank Underwood has been shot.It occurred about ten minutes ago during a campaign eventat Hammond University in Washington, D.C.We do not yet know how severely the president has been wounded. He is en route to Jefferson Memorial Hospital.We don't know how serious his condition may be.Footage of the assassination attempt is still making its way to us, and we expect to have that shortly.Witnesses are reportingthat there was a quick succession of gunshots,four or five,a lone gunman whose identity we are still trying to determine.We've been told the gunman was killed,as well as at least one Secret Service agent,but we don't have definitive confirmation of that yet.We don't yet know who the gunman may be or who the agent is. - What's happened? - The president's been shot.I'm hearing now that the presidentreceived at least one gunshot to the abdomen, possibly more, that he clutched his stomach,that he fell instantly to the ground,and there were screams, people panicking,that it has been very chaotic at that scene.We have very little information at this time,other than shots were fired, the president wounded.But as I say, he is alive.We've gotten no officialstatement from the White House as of yet,either the president's precise conditionor the whereabouts of Vice President Blythe.He is believed to be at the White House. We cannot confirm that, nor do we know if he will take over as acting president, assuming the duties of the presidency under the termsof the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.That would seem likely, however,if the president's wounds are as seriousas we believe them to be.This is a difficult moment for the country.It is not the first time that a president has been shotin my lifetime or in many of yours.But even for those of us who have experienced this before,it is no less of a shock, it is no less terrifying.It is the moment when our nation's resilience,when our collective strength,the moment when all of that is tested the most.And we can only imaginehow difficult it must be for the First Lady.- Francis-- - Michael told me.I have to go back to Washington.Well, what are you waiting for?Do you expect me to console you?No, I just...- Goodbye, Mother. - Claire.I hope he dies.Claire, I can't imagine how difficult this must be.Is there anything I can do?I appreciate the call, Mr. Vice President,but I'm sure you've got a lot to take care of right now.Is there anything I can do to help you?I'll be making a brief appearance once we have a better sense of... where things stand.Would you like me to be there?I think it would be good, the country seeing the First Lady.I think it's more important that they see your steady hand.If you're by my side, it would certainly make it steadier.Of course. Anything you ask.I'm gonna be praying for you. For both of you.Thank you, Don.Okay.This way, sir.Thank you, sir.The acting president needsto be briefed on a highly classified matter.Everyone without military clearance, we'll need the room.It was in fact two shots.One that grazed the torso just beneath the right armand the second which entered the abdomen,possibly into his liver.Obviously, it was that shot that did the greatest damage.The president is currently reported to be in critical condition. The Secret Service agentthat was killed protecting the president was Edward Meechum. He is the head of the president's detail,and we can confirm that now.After being shot and before he died,he killed the assailant whose identity is still unknown.We're waiting now on a press conference from the White House from Press Secretary Seth Grayson,and we expect to have that beginning in just a few moments. We confirm nothing unless you run it past me twice first,- I don't want-- - Mr. Grayson...I'm on my way. We don't want any rumors, only facts.There's a student who's claiming it was the Secret Service- who fired the first shot. - What did I just say?- Do not waste my time with that bullshit. - Sir,the press is waiting.All right, I'm... I'm coming. Uh, where's my...At 12:38 this afternoon, Vice President Donald Blythewas authorized as acting president by the cabinet.He is currently meeting with them.Approximately 20 minutes ago, the First Lady landed at Andrews. She is expected to arrive at the hospital shortly.- Mrs. Underwood. - How is he?They're still in the OR. Probably a few hours left to go.Is he going to live?He took a direct hit to his liver, which is partially shattered. Fortunately, part of the left lobe is mostly intact.Now, we think there's a decent chance he will survive surgery, but even if he does, that's when the real fight begins.I'd like to see him.As soon as he's out, I'll make sure you know.Okay, thank you.I'd recommend we call off this operation,we turn the plane around now.I disagree. It's well planned.The president already signed off.The president might die.- Madam Secretary... - We'll have no talk like that, Cathy.My apologies, sir.What I am trying to say is thatit is too risky to antagonize--The point was to scare them, not--To do anything of this naturewhile the commander in chief is incapacitated,- the Russians will take advantage-- - We're at high alert. We're prepared for all eventualities.We don't want the military to be the fail-safe here.Mr. Vice... Mr. President...I believe it is our duty to carry out the ordersthat the president signed.- The circumstances have changed. - The plan is sound. So, what would you like to do, sir,continue the mission or abort?Uh, I... I wanna think on it.He's scheduled to land in two hours.I just want...I've gotta think. Let's take a break.I, uh, I need to process all this.Sir?The president weighed everything--Cathy brought up some good points.She's been against this from the very beginning,but the president clearly--Just give me some time, Doug, please?I've got too many people barking in my ear.The president is out of surgery,and he is in stable but critical condition.Excuse me! Excuse me! We are going to keep this orderly. Dr. Saxon will finish his statement,and then we'll answer your questions. Thank you.The surgery lasted six hours, 28 minutes.Three quarters of his liver was removed.A liver, even one quarter of a liver,has the ability to regenerate within six to eight weeks.We will be conducting blood tests every hour.Enzymes, ammonia levels, PT times,I believe these are all explained in the handout....the medical report, live from the White House,which we will return to shortly.But we have breaking news we're following.The would-be assassin was previously reportedas John Carlyle from Dayton, Ohio,but sources in the Department of Justice now saythis was actually an alias for Lucas Goodwin,a former editor at The Washington Heraldwho was convicted of cyberterrorism nearly two years ago. Now, if we freeze this cell phone footage of the shootingand we compare the shooter's face to this picture of Goodwin... well, the comparison is strikingand would seem to confirmwhat we're hearing from our sources in the DOJ, who say Goodwin was recently releasedand is in a witness protection program.It's so strange to think that I--It was, what? Just two hours before? Less than. How did he react?He was cold, I guess. I couldn't really read him. He looks so weak.Should I come back to Washington?Let's see how the next couple of days go. Well, just say the word, I'm on a plane.All right, thank you, LeAnn. Good night. Good night.Francis, can you hear me?Francis.I just spoke to Eddie's parents, ma'am.You said you wanted to call them?Yes, thank you.Edward was more than a hero, Mrs. Meechum. He was our friend.I'm so sorry for your loss.Please, let me know if there's anythingI can do for you and your family.You can call me anytime.Yes, ma'am, that is my private number.And again, I'm so sorry.- Lucas Goodwin? - We didn't know he was out.How can that happen? He's released and you didn't know--Ma'am... as far as threats go,we've been far more occupied with you lately.I'm hoping that we can work together, because I need your help. - How? - The vice president.We spoke. I told him I would appear with him.Not the statement.He's having trouble making a decision.Can you come back to the White House with me?It's serious, ma'am.I can fill you in on the way.I'll grab my things.I can't let you go any farther, sir.I'm his Chief of Staff.I'm sorry, sir.Only doctors and the First Lady for now.Claire.Hello.How are you?- Exhausted. - I'm sure.You must be, too.There's so much I don't know. It's... overwhelming.Sir, I briefed the First Lady on the Milkin operation.I thought she might have some insight,given her experience working directly with Russia.I know you've had a lot of people weigh in already.I value your input, Claire. I'm glad you're here.- Douglas, will you give us a minute? - Of course.I'll be with the cabinet, sir.You know that thing that people say,"God never gives you more than you can handle"?Yes.My Marjory, God bless her,she said that was pure bullshit.Oh, listen to me complainingwhile your husband is fighting for his life.Oh, it's okay. Actually, I need the distraction.Let's talk Russia.I'm torn. Uh, we have this plane circling over the North Sea...- and I don't know what to do. - Well, what does your gut tell you? I've never been a gut sort of guy.I mean, if I had a gun to my head...- Sorry, that was a poor choice of words. - It's fine. Go on.I understand what the president hoped to achieve,but the thought of provoking Russia...And I'm just beginning to immerse myself in all the complexities. What would Frank do, if he were in my shoes right now?If he were here, he'd tell youthat's the last thing you should think about,because he's not here, you are.What would you do?Proceed with the mission or bring him back?I don't like either.Those are my options.Well, if there's one thing I've learned, 28 years with Francis, and he said it time and time again,"If you don't like the way the table is set..."- "Then turn over the table." - That's right.He's said it to me, more than once.Then that's what you should do, Donald.- But how? - Well, let's figure it out.Weren't we supposed to have landed already?We're in a holding pattern.Why? Is something wrong?All I know is we're in a holding pattern.Doug.This plane's gonna run out of fuel soon.We're gonna have to put it down somewhere.I'll be making a statement shortly. Let's notify the press corps. - About the operation? - No, to reassure the American people. - Shall I meet you in there? - Ten minutes.The cabinet?- Still waiting on your decision, sir. - Good.Let's go.I want you to land the plane in China.China, sir?There's no bailout without Chinese money.We give them Milkin, they have more leverage. Sir, that gives away our leverage.I'm not for regime change, but that just...It's the last thing that Petrov is expecting.They'll demand drilling access in eastern Siberia. And when they do, we become the lesser of two evils. Sir, at no time did the presidentintend on bringing China into the mix...Get the plane on Chinese soil.And turn over Milkin's assets. That's my decision.- I asked for your help. - And that's what I gave. No, China wasn't part of the president's plan.It's part of the acting president's plan.- You ready? - Yes, whenever you are.- Seth? - Yes, sir.Ladies and gentlemen, the acting president. Please, sit.This is a difficult day for all Americans, particularly for Mrs. Underwood,who is gracious enough to be here,to lend me strength while I address an anxious nation. Mr. President!。

Hey. Excuse me.I'm Paul Capra. I'm here to see Christina.Oh, right this way, Mr. Capra. She's expecting you. - Paul. Hi. - Hey, Christina.- It's good to see you. - Yeah, you too.Can I get you anything?Nah. I grabbed some breakfast on the way down.- Okay. Have a seat. - All right. Thank you.I asked you down herebecause I spoke to D triple Cand the D.N.C.We'd like you to run for Peter's seat.As you probably know,the election's been set for the first week of February. You want me to run?With your stature in the community,your grass roots organizing experience... Christina, hold on.I know it's a lot to consider.It's only been a month.Well, we still have to govern, Paul.I thought you asked me down herebecause you wanted to talk or something.I do. About the election.I mean about Peter.How come you didn't go to the funeral?I couldn't.How you been holding up?I'm all right. It's been hard keeping the office on track. Jesus. Screw the office.What about you?You're allowed to grieve, Christina.Paul...there are 600,000 people counting on us.I can't let my feelings get in the way of that.Will you hear me out about running for Peter's seat? Well, you've passed the vetting process with flying colors. - Is there anything we might have missed? - No, sir.Tell me about yourexperience as the chair of the oversight reform committee. It's been very rewarding.What are the biggest challenges you've had to face? Partisanship.Partisanship.Well, I suppose a room filled with 435 big egosisn't the most hospitable place for oversight.Do you want to be Vice President, Tabitha?It would be a great honor, sir.We'll be in touch.That's all?- For the time being. - Thank you, Mr. President.We have to cross her off.I agree. She could put a crack addict to sleep.Then what is she doing on the goddamn list?Tabitha's a very gifted legislator.I don't want people who make sense on paper.I need at least one viable option.The two of you created this list andhave proceeded to cross off every name you've put on it.It's just a first pass, sir.We need time to fully vet all...Jim is gonna win this thing in Pennsylvania,and we're no closer to naming his replacementthan we were a month ago.Let us take another crack at itand give you a few more names to consider.I just want one name.We'll have something for you by tomorrow morning.Thank you, Mr. President.He's ready to say yes to anything.Yeah, for this to work, I don't think you can be there.- Not when I first mention it. - I agree.You bring it up in your morning brief,and when I show up, I'll act surprised.Assuming he's open to the idea...Look, all we have to do tomorrow is plant the notion in his head. I'm sure you'll be persuasive.- Hello? - Mr. Capra?Yeah. Who's this?Janine Skorsky from Slugline.We spoke when I wrote the piece about Congressman Russo's passing. I'm done giving interviews about Peter, okay?He was a troubled guy. End of story.This is not about his death.I'm calling you becausemy sources at the D Triple C are telling methat you might be running for his seat.I'm not talking about that.But you did have a meetingthis morning with Christina Gallagher, correct?I'm driving right now. I really shouldn't be on the phone.If you do run, I would like to knowabout your involvement in the closing ofthe Philadelphia shipyard.That decision was made in Washington.The association wasn't consulted.Forgive me. I find that hard to believe.I read all of the transcripts from the BRAC Commission. Congressman Russo didn't give any testimony.So are you saying thathe didn't consult with you once before you...Somebody was strong-arming him, okay? It was politics.Do you know who would've pressured him?Look, I don't know. He just said people up the food chain.Did he say anything more specific about...You know what? There's traffic. I gotta go.Mr. Capra, I would...Should I be prepared to do press?If he's amenable.What do you think our chances are?Better than 50-50, if I had to say.We won't announce until after Matthews wins, though.I hate to admit it, but I'm nervous.So am I.It's just the last time, we found ourselves...That's my fear too.All right. You call me, either way.In no more than nine hours.Linda's been in there far too long.If the President takes this much convincing,it doesn't bode well. I can feel it...his hesitation on the other side of that door.I know it's pointless to worryuntil I know what cards I'm holding.Perhaps he just got interrupted by some...He wants to tap Raymond Tusk.- What? - He thinks it's a bold idea.It's an idiotic idea. The man's never held public office.That's one of the things the President said he likes about him. The President wants to nominatea multibillionaire in a struggling economy?He'll alienate half the country.Which is exactly what I said,but he made it very clearhe does not want me to fight him on this.- So you didn't mention me at all? - I never had the chance. His mind was made up before I could say a word.Well, we have to unmake it.Well, you can try, but if you do,my guess is he's gonna cut you out of the process altogether. He seemed adamant.We should go in there.- Mr. President. - Morning, Frank.Will you give us a few minutes, Linda?Of course.Linda fill you in?I think Raymond Tuskis an exciting, bold idea.Well, I'm glad you agree. Linda didn't think so.He's a proven businessman. Brilliant, but down-to-earth. Do you know him personally?I met him briefly once at a fund-raiser.Last night when I called himwas the first time we had a meaningful conversation.Did he seem open to the idea?I sensed a good deal of reluctance.He wanted a few days to consider.Well, good. That gives us time to start vetting him.He's clean. I had him vetted last yearwhen I was considering him for Secretary of the Treasury. And did he say why he's reluctant?No. Didn't give a reason. Just wanted to mull it over.I want to send someone to St. Louis to speak to him in person, convince him to accept the nomination.And who are you thinking about?I'd send Linda, but there's so much work for her to do here, and, well, she can be abrasive at times.Yeah, she can be a bit tough.I want someone with gravitas.Birch is a possibility,but he's not always been our strongest ally.I'm not sure I would trust Bob with something like this.I would be happy to go myself, sir.I can use a light touch and give him the respect he deserves. Good. I'll let his people know you're coming.- Thank you, Mr. President. - Thank you, Frank.Tell me, Francis.It's good we were prepared for anything.I have to fly to St. Louis tonight."Somebody was strong-arming him."and when I asked him who, he said, quote,- "People up the food chain." - It's Washington.Congressmen get strong-armed all the time.My gut says it was Frank Underwood.He had nothing to do with Russo before the shipyard closing, and then suddenly he's propping him up?That doesn't mean he was...Let's cut the bullshit once and for all, Zoe.I know he's been feeding you your stories.I don't want to screw you over,but I'm not gonna stop digging on this.I won't say he was a source.But you do know each other.Show me your notes, and I'll talk to him.These are the notes from the Capra call.And these are the transcripts from the BRAC hearing. When they got to the Philadelphia shipyard,Russo doesn't say anything.That's fine.Yeah, I would just put both of them in that file.Claire, I just got a call from the P.R. office at Sancorp saying they wanted to send a film crewto take footage of our filtration project in Botswana. Right. They're just using that for promotional material. Sancorp fought us on the watershed bill.They helped us get the filters out of South Sudan.I thought that was the State Department.No. You remember Remy Danton?You met him in your office right after you started working here. - The lobbyist. - I asked him for his help.We're just returning the favor, that's all.Claire, they're against everything we stand for.It's harmless. They'll send the videoto a few of their investors and make some commercials.This makes me very uncomfortable... the idea...They are sending the film crew, Gillian,so please work with them on that.One of my colleagues is looking into Peter Russo.The assumption is you strong-armed him into closing the shipyard. Where does your colleague get their information?I don't know.Allocating the D.O.D. budget is always a free-for-all.Did you pressure him?There were certain people that were gonna benefitfrom the base closing sooner rather than later.I didn't strong-arm Peter.I advised him to trade in a losing hand for a winning one.How did he stand to win?He made allies out of enemies.That's a very valuable thing in Congress.I wish I could give you something juicier,but the shipyard closing was just politics as usual.I assume your colleague is Ms. Skorsky.Does she know we're talking?No. Of course not.Be in touch.More than you ever wanted to know about Raymond Alan Tusk... the companies he controls, political contributions.A GQ article entitled "Backwoods billionaire"- is about his humble midwestern lifestyle. - Jesus.There's also a copy of the financial disclosure requirementsand details of the blind trust.I think the trust is where you want to focus.Could Linda be behind all this?To what end?To get you out of town for a few dayswhile they continue the search without your interference.The President has no reason to mistrust me.Unless Linda told him you want the Vice Presidency.No. She's in way too deep.We misjudged her on the Secretary of State nomination.That was different. She blindsided me.Now she knows my eyes are wide open.Do you want the Gaffney bag or regular business?Regular business. Tusk can dress down if he wants to,but I'm representing the White House.Oh, and get Walter Doyle onto Tusk.Let's see if we can dig up anything.I'll call him right now.And keep your eye on Janine Skorsky while I'm away.She's been prying into Russo.What does she know?She knows the right questions to ask.I want to make sure she doesn't get the right answers. I'm on it.McCuddin.McCuddin.What was that?McCuddin Air Force Base.BRAC hearing. Was there on April 12th.David Rasmussen stepped down less than a week later. Womack takes his place. So maybe...Wait. Slow down.McCudden is in his district.Is that the shipyard thing?Janine, call me back.I think it was Womack who pressured Russo.Russo was probably just earning a favorhe could cash in later.I'm around.Did you ever have to fight her to kill a story? Janine?Yeah. When she worked for you.Only when I knew she was wrong.She's trying to draw up this whole conspiracy thing with Russo and Frank Underwoodand the whole shipyard closing.But I'm pretty sure she's wrong.- Pretty sure isn't the same as certain. - No. I am certain. - How do you know? - I have sources.- Underwood? - No.No. Never mind. I'll figure it out.- Mrs. Tusk? - Jean, please.You must be Frank. Come in.So nice to meet you.The guest room is this way.It is very kind of you to have invited me to stay here. Why waste the taxpayers' money on a hotelwhen we have a perfectly good bed?Well, both they and I are very grateful.I'm sorry Raymond isn't awake to greet you.- He goes to bed at... - I know he's an early riser.I understand.Would you like a wake-up knock?No. I have an alarm on my phone.- Sleep tight. - Thank you so much.I would say good morning, but it's the middle of the night. - It's a pleasure to meet you. - And you too.Was I making too much noise?No. I smelled bacon.Here.Coffee? Booze?2:00 a.m., you can go either way.Just water for now.It's filtered. Your wife would approve.You ever been to St. Louis before?Just the airport.What do you think so far?Well, I've only seen your neighborhoodand whatever I could see out the window on the interstate. Good enough. It's all pretty much the same.Excuse me.Excuse me.Excuse me.Excuse me.Listen, um, I still haven't showered.My mind is on China here.Uh, what do you say you get a few more zsand we try this again in a few hours with our clothes on? Sounds like a plan.Meet me at my office at 9:30.I'll have a driver pick you up.Can I ask why you do that?- Do what? - Tap your ring like that.I've seen you do it on TV.Two taps every time you get up from a table or leave a lectern. Something my father taught me.It's meant to harden your knucklesso you don't break them if you get into a fight.It also has the added benefit of knocking on wood.My father believed that successis a mixture of preparation and luck.Tapping the table kills both birds with one stone.Your father was a peach farmer?Yes, he was. Not a very successful one.- Lack of preparation or lack of luck? - Lack of both.He was better at giving advice than following it.He was better at giving advice than following it.He was better at giving advice than following it.He was better at giving advice than following it.Miss? Miss, your card.Thank you.Ms. Gallagher, my name's Janine Skorsky.I'm a reporter at Slugline.- I wrote the profile on Congressman... - I remember.- Do you have a minute? - If this is about Peter, I...No. It's about Paul Capra.We know that he might be running for Congressman Russo's old seat.I can't comment on that.We're just trying to do some backgroundon the shipyard closing last April.Listen, I just want to eat my breakfast.We have sources that are sayingthat the Congressman was being pressured by someoneto not fight the closure.- Who? - That's what I'm trying to figure out.This is completely off the record, I promise you.- Hi, Christina. - Doug, hi.- How you holding up? - I'm okay.I'm... I'm good.I saw you sitting over here. You mind if I...No. Please.Ms. Skorsky, right?I believe we spoke a few times when you used to work at the Herald. Whenever I could get past the press office gauntlet to you.We do like to run a tight ship.So what brings you to the Capitol?I was just asking Ms. Gallagherwho's running to fill the vacant seat in Pennsylvania's 1st.Well, the honest answer is we don't know.Thank you for your time, Ms. Gallagher.Anyone starts harassing you with questions you don't want to answer, you let me know.I'll handle them.You got enough on your plate right now.Thanks, Doug. I appreciate that.Hang in there, okay?Yes.Uganda,Peru,Nepal,Indonesia...Nicaragua.Well, you are quite the well traveled man.No. I'm the man who stays at home.Jean brought those back for me.- Mr. Tusk, I am... - First names.After all, we have broken bacon together.We can safely assume that we're familiar. Raymond, I realize that you are a very busy man, so I'm gonna cut right to the chase.The President sincerely would like youto become the next Vice President.That part I already knew.And I'm here to convince you to say yes.Another thing I already knew.Well, I don't know thatI can tell you anything you don't already know. But perhaps you can tell me what your hesitation is. Speak.Yes.Now, I understand you might have some concerns about the financial disclosures leading...Speak.No.I have eight people representing me at eightsimultaneous meetings in six time zones right now.I sit here and answer their questions,provided they come in the form of a single yes or no proposition. Well, then, let me give that a try.Would you like to be the Vice President?Yes or no?Hold on a minute.I am very sorry.Let me have 20 minutes to wrap up these meetings.And then what do you say we get out of the officeand away from this damn phone?Meet me at my car.Betty can tell you where it's parked.Go ahead.He's deflecting.What I can't tell is whether it's becausehe's inclined to say no or wants to be wooed to say yes.Either way, I'll have to ease him into the conversation,not be so blunt.This trip may take longer than I thought.We've looked through all the file cabinets.They're not on his computer?Not with the Congressman's handwritten notes.All right. I'll check his office.There is a comfort to these woods.Like they're my backyard.Well, they are my backyard, in a way. I own them.How much land?Six thousand acres.You think I could get a tour of your Fulton plant while I'm in town? If you'd like. But...I don't know why you'd want to be therewhen you could be out here.I've never seen a nuclear plant.Not much to see.Steel, concrete, a lot of steam.The President hasn't exactly been a big supporter of nuclear power. Is that, uh, part of your hesitation...that fear that the administration...He's just being savvy.Nuclear energy is a tough sell after Japan.But it's the only option we have right nowthat doesn't completely trash the planet.The argument against nuclear power is an emotional one.And you don't make decisions based on emotion.Decisions based on emotion aren't decisions at all.They're instincts,which can be of value.The rational and the irrational complement each other. Individually, they're far less powerful.And which category do your thoughts on thevice presidency fall into?Do you hear that song?It's a hermit thrush.Can't see him."Solitary, the thrush..."The hermit, withdrawn to himself,"avoiding the settlements,"sings by himself a song."- Do you know the poem? - No, I don't.It's Walt Whitman.It's about the death of Abraham Lincoln.He's over there somewhere.Yes, I know the damn poem.We studied it at the Sentinel.I said to my Professor,"Why mourn the death of Presidents, or anyone for that matter? "The dead can't hear us."And he asked me if I believed in heaven.I said no.And then he asked if I had no faith in God.I said, "You have it wrong."It's God who has no faith in us."Deeper into the woods.I think you're being paranoid.He came up right after I sat down. It was creepy.I'm telling you, it was Womack.Is that what Underwood said?He didn't name names. But who else?What's the big deal? Congressmen trade favors.One of these congressmen committed suicide.I think you're stretching here, Janine. To try and connect...I have gone after big fish before.I know what it feels like to be watched.Underwood's education bill went to the floorjust three days after Womack became majority leader.You leaked the education bill.And then there was the Kern article.Those were two completely different stories.Wait. What was the guy?Uh, what was his name?He's the one who told that Kern wrote the article for the school paper. - Roy Kapeniak. - You should go talk to him.- There's no link. - Except you.Underwood's been using you, Zoe.Don't you want to know why?Remy Danton's on line two.He says it's important.- Hello, Remy. - Hey, Claire.I got a call from the P.R. Team at Sancorp.They said Gillian Cole isn't being cooperative.Hasn't gotten back to them, you mean?No. Told them point-blank she doesn't want the film crew there.I'm looking at an e-mail. She wrote thatthey would be disruptive to the project and local community.Is that her, or is that coming from you?No. I made it very clear that I wanted her to work with them. Well, it seems like she's doing the opposite.I will speak to her,and then I'll sort things out with the P.R. Team personally.- Thank you, Claire. - You bet.Is Gillian at lunch?She didn't come in yet today. She's not feeling well.Let me know when she gets here.- What time is your flight? - 6:40.We should get going. There's gonna be traffic.Almost ready.I've been thinking.The, uh, older man you were with.Was it Underwood?So, what this is really about is covering your own ass.That is not true.You don't want anybody to know you were sleeping with him. Not exactly objective reporting, is it?Don't fucking lecture me on journalistic ethics.How many of the stories you brought me at the herald- were because you were... - I'm not gonna have this conversation. Fine. Maybe you should take a cab to the airport.Don't punish me for being honest.You haven't been honest. I had to ask.And you still haven't given me a straight answer.Yes.It was him.I... I don't know if I can do this, Zoe.- Do what? - You fucked a Congressman to get ahead.I'm not the first person to ever do something like that, Lucas. But I'm not sleeping with those other people, am I?What, so you just hate me now?No. I probably love you.That's the fucking problem.Let's go. I'm parked illegally.So I hear you went stomping through the woods today.We did, and then Raymond was kind enoughto arrange a tour of the Fulton plant.And I'm sure you were wondering,"When is this old fool gonna get around to brass tacks?"I'm here to simply answer questions.I figured that you would make up your mind when you're ready. There are two minds here.We know all about the blind trust.Does it concern either of you?The words "Blind" And "Trust"are not among my favorites in the English language.But I have no problem with it in theory.Not managing our assets for a few yearscould unburden us from a great deal of stress.Well, then, what does your reluctance stem from?Why do you think the President wants me?Well, I can't speak on his behalf, but if I were to... Aren't you here to do just that... speak on his behalf?If I were to speculate, I think the President would prob... Speculation is a poor form of investmentand an equally poor form of politics.Tell me what you know.I don't know what you mean.Well, what do you think I should do?You, personally, Frank Underwood?My opinion isn't what matters here.It does to me. Should I do it? Yes or no?Well, there's a great number of things to consider... And I'm sure you've considered them all.Yes or no, Frank?No, I will not answer that question.Because you think I shouldn't.Because it's not relevant.All right, then. Let me ask you another way.Would you take the job?It hasn't been offered to me.What if it were?I have a distaste for hypotheticalsjust the same as you have a distaste for speculation.All right, all right.That's enough business for now. We can discuss it more tomorrow. Get in. Get in there, Bruce.Sorry. Sorry to bother you, ma'am.Um, I'm looking for Roy Kapeniak.I thought his trailer was over here. Am I in the right place?You're in the right place a month ago.He got evicted.He was shootin' off his gun too much in the yard.Do you know where I can find him?Why?I'm a relative. His... his niece.Skipped town is what I heard.Had a girl livin' with him. Maybe she knows.- Name was Echo. - Echo?That's what she went by, at least.Works at the titty bar over on 40.Highway 40?- Across from the Burger King. - Okay. Thank you.- Across from the Burger King. - Okay. Thank you.Girls get in free.- I'm looking for Echo. - Who?Echo.Roy was a fucking wacko.I was stupid to live with him as long as I did.- Do you know where he is now? - I don't know, and I don't care. He ever talk about the article I wrote?All the time. He had it framed.Bet it's still in the trailerif it's not in a junkyard right now.Did he say why he called me?- Did he ever tell you? - I was there.- Where? - When the guy showed up.Who?I won't name names.Fuck Roy Kapeniak.You don't owe him shit.Some guy who said he was a Congressman.Was it...him?No.He was younger, tall,not much hair, pretty good-looking.- Yeah, that was him. - You're absolutely sure?He brought bourbon, blow, stayed the whole night. The whole thing was his idea.What, to say that Kern wrote the editorial?That guy didn't write anything. It was all Roy. Okay, look, I know I said that I wouldn't name names, and I won't if that's what you want.But you could be famous overnight.Talk shows, TV, the whole country...No way.You wouldn't have to dance anymore.You could do whatever you want.Don't use my fucking name, okay?I already said more than I should have.- Stamper, it's midnight. - Two things, boss.First, Janine Skorskyambushed Christina this morning.I intercepted her before she could ask too much.- Should we be worried? - I can keep this contained, sir.I just wanted you to know.All right. What's the other thing?Doyle came back with his research.I just e-mailed it to you.The President told you he and Tusk didn't know each other, right? Yeah. He said they met once, I think,at a fund-raiser.That would appear to be a lie.All right. I have it in front of me now.Doyle catalogued all the instances he could findin which the two of them were in the same city at the same time. Items in red are events that they both attended.And he found something else.Back in Walker's private sector days,he was the C.E.O. of Pioneer Airlines.Guess who owned a third of the stockwhen it was sold to united?Raymond Tusk.My guess is that he and Walker know each other quite well. All right. Let me look this over. I'll call you back.I'm being played.But why?But why?But why?- Did I wake you again? - No.I'd like to talk.Give me a moment.Give me a moment.Give me a moment.Give me a moment.Give me a moment.Carolina Parakeet.You're wrong, but you're close.This is the Sun Conure.They look very similar,but the Carolina Parakeet is extinct.Was killed off because it was considered a pest. Interesting species, though.Voracious appetite.And he was poison. Cats who ate him died.This bird is not the only thingyou've misidentified since you've been in St. Louis.You and Walker are old friends.。

I'm glad you brought up nepotism, Senator.Um, if this were an outright appointment,that would be one thing,but in this case, the president can only nominate.It's the Senate that deems me worthy.I'm here to convince you that I am.Although, I must admit,my husband never remembers to put the toilet seat down,so he could be trying to make it up to me.My larger concern is your experience. You have very little. Well, a decade ago, I founded a small nonprofitand I built it into a major global player.I shepherded a number of bills through Congress on its behalf. And over the last year,I've dedicated myself to sexual assault reform,and have made meaningful strides.Now, while this may not qualify as statecraft,it does illustrate my effectiveness,the same effectiveness I plan on bringing to the United Nations. Thank you, Mrs. Underwood. I yield the remainder of my time. Uh, Mrs. Wallace of North Dakota, you have eight minutes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.Mrs. Underwood, allow me to get specific.What is your take on UN Resolution 9214,the imposition of sanctions on the Congo for the--The illegal mining and smuggling of mineral resources.Yes. The United States voted against this resolution.The DRC is already wracked with economic hardship, compounded by an unstable government.It ranks 192 out of 194 in GDP per capita.I think we need to encourage foreign investmentand develop new forms of economic growthrather than make one of the world's poorest countries even poorer. From a national security perspective,the United States maintainsa strong interest in the success of the DRC.- We want a stable nation... - They're here....that can help us in combating the spreadof Islamic radicalism throughout the continent.And in order to achieve that, we need to work as its ally,not its disciplinarian.Good morning.Mr. President.Jackie.Terry.Shall we?Now you all have the, uh... overview. But what we have here today - is the comprehensive breakdown-- - Sir, before we begin--Look, Bob, I know you have some serious doubts about this program. But just let me flesh it out first,and then I promise we can address any questions that you might have. - Uh, Mr. President-- - Ten million jobs.Can we all agree that that's a good thing for this country? Universal employment.It's the key for our keeping the White House in 2016.It's the only chance we have of winning back majorities in Congress. Now, the election's only 18 months away.We need to do something bold, something decisive.We need to redefine our party.Actually, that's what we wanted to discuss.You're right, we do need to redefine the party.We need to do it with a fresh face.2016. We don't want you to run.You weren't even elected to the office in the first place.The pardons hurt you. Approvals are low.We're not casting blame, sir.We just believe that this is best for the party.I suspected this was coming, but months from now.I was hoping by then I'd have something to show for my efforts, that I could preempt their doubts with progress.They're nervous. They're being impulsive.It's a bit early to be deciding something like this.Shouldn't we revisit this when we're closer to the primaries?What do you think, Terry?Like you said, sir, we only have 18 months until the general.Less than half of that to Iowa.We would want to settle on a candidate soon.Someone who the whole party can get behindlike the Republicans are getting behind Mendoza.And who would that be?We haven't had a discussion on that yet.We came to you first, out of respect.- Well, there must be a shortlist. - No, not yet.It'll be a process to find the right person.And we were hoping that you would be a part of that process. Obviously, this is a request, Mr. President.It's your decision.But if you do run, sir, you won't have our support.Jackie?I stand by the rest of the leadership.Well, this is certainly a lot to think about.Let's table our discussion on America Works for another time, but thank you all for being so forthright.I'll get back to you on this issue a little later on.Would you like us to stick around for a while?We wouldn't want the press to think we came all the way here - for a five-minute meeting. - That's a very good idea.No raised eyebrows.I'll have some refreshments sent for you into the Map Room. Wonderful.Thank you, Mr. President.As a vocal proponent for the Sexual Assault Bill last session, are you concerned about your relationship with the US military? No, I'm not, Senator.I worked closely with the Joint Chiefs on that bill.What if there were a peacekeeping mission in, say, Burma, to quell civil unrest,and the United Nations asked us to contribute troops,to put our servicemen and women's lives in peril.If you're using Myanmar as a hypothetical,I think we're a long way from that, but as Ambassador--My question concerns the use of US military.The US military is irrelevant. The current situation-- Excuse me, Mrs. Underwood. The US military is irrelevant? Well, I-- That's not what I said.You said verbatim: "The US military is irrelevant."Well, in the, in the context of-- I meant...uh, that there are plenty--I have the utmost respect and appreciation for our troops, sir. Not with statements like that, you don't.Senator, if I may, I can explain.How do we explain to the men and women who serve,who put their lives on the line,that our ambassador thinks they're irrelevant?I think that's an unfair characterization of what I intended-- I am not characterizing anything, Mrs. Underwood,you said the words.And now you're trying to backpedal your way out of it.- You're trying to take my words-- - Don't interrupt me.If you will stop interrupting me, I can explain--No, you see, we ask the questions, you answer them.You're not allowing me to answer the questions, Senator.If you could maybe listen instead of grandstanding.The position you're being considered forrequires calm, cool diplomacy.What concerns me even more than the military commentis your demeanor.Is this what we're to expect from our ambassador?A hothead?Go ahead, Mrs. Underwood, I'm listening.Maybe it's leverage for another play.Scare the wits out of me and then come with the big ask.You sure there is one?America Works. They want to kill it.Or soften me up to consider another VP candidate for the ticket. They're no fans of Blythe.Could be anything, any combination of things.- What? - You saw it?- Saw what? - The First Lady, sir.Jesus.I better call her.She's still in the hearing, sir.I need to see this whole thing. Let's get ahead of it if we can.- The Solicitor General is here. - Cancel it.- You've already postponed twice. - Postpone it again.We can't put it off, sir.It goes to the Supreme Court in less than a month.We have bigger fish to fry.An American citizen was injured by a drone strike.That Walker authorized, not me.But you're the sitting president.If we lose this, it undermines your authority.The media is all over it.We need our rhetoric in line with the Solicitor General's.All right. Christ! Send her in.I'll put this clip on your computer, for when you're done. Terry Womack. Today. Privately.Ms. Dunbar.Before we begin, I'd like to clear the air.Your report. You did good work, necessary work,and I admire you for it.I appreciate you saying that, sir.And you understand the position I was in with the pardons. That's politics, sir. Not my expertise.What's past is past?My focus is the argument I'll present to the court.She sees me as the bank robber who made it to the county line. But she's smart enough to leave her badge at the door.So, the case.As you know, sir, we think the State secret defense is strong. When I consulted with the CIA on the--I'm wondering if State secrets is the best tactic.Both of Mahmoud's legs were amputated.He will be in the gallery, in his wheelchair.That's a powerful image.Even Supreme Court Justices have hearts.We need to stay in their heads.A procedural route is clearly-- -Excuse me.Yes?Uh, tell her I need to watch somethingand I'll call her back from my study in two minutes.- It's my wife. I'm sorry. - Please.- ...you answer them. - You're not allowing meto answer questions, Senator.Maybe you would benefit morefrom listening than grandstanding.I just watched. How can I help?I'm calling Senators.I think it would be heavy-handed if you did too. Well, I don't blame you for getting upset.- You didn't deserve that. - I'm a target now.- That's the price of admission. - We both are.The leadership, they don't want me to run.- What? - Yeah, that's what they saidbefore I could even present the program.- This soon? - Yeah, that's what surprised me.- The entire leadership? - All of them, including Jackie.- That woman has no sense of loyalty. - Well, we'll see.I'm gonna meet with Womack. Turn him around.They only have strength in numbers.Continue, please.As I was saying, we think our procedural defense is strong.State secrets prohibit the introduction of evidence.Assuming they won't dismiss outright,the argument will focus on deference to the executive. Separation between the courts and foreign policy.They simply don't have the security intelligenceto second-guess covert operationswhile we're facing threats on multiple fronts.Sir?- I can't do this now. - Excuse me, sir?My office will be in touch. Apologies. Thank you very much. Maybe you would benefit more from listening than grandstanding. Joining me now from Capitol Hill,CNN's Chief Congressional Correspondent, Dana Bash.Dana, what is the mood at the Capitol?Right, I understand, but...We already have several Senators publicly sayingthat they're gonna vote against Mrs.Underwoodbecause of her comments.A number of others I've spoken tohave gone from supporting her...- Right. - ...nomination, to being on the fence.But, Dana, she's correct, isn't she?Mendoza was grandstanding.Maybe. But even so, if you look at the numbers here, this is doing real damage.The vote was always going to be close...Yes....things aren't looking good for the First Lady.- No, I understand, but-- - Could her military remark be... - It's Mendoza. - ...a slip of the tongue?I appreciate your time, Senator. I hope you'll reconsider. - He's on now? - Yes.Turn that off?Senator, hi. Thank you for returning my call.Sorry it took so long. I had a ton of interview requests.I just wanted to apologizeif I came across as disrespectful in any way.That was wrong of me.I know you didn't mean it, Claire.It's just unfortunate how things are playing out.I realize you can't vote for me yourself,but I was hoping that maybeyou would say something to the effect to--What, to the press?- Or even privately, to your colleagues. - I can't do that. Senator, the vote should center on my merits,not a few moments where you and I took the gloves off.Well, I think that was telling, don't you?How you behaved under pressure?Senator, you know you were taking out of context what I said. Of course I was. I was trying to rile you up.And I succeeded.I wish I hadn't,because it's gonna make things really tough for you.But, if you can convince mycolleagues to change their minds despite that...why, you'd make a great Ambassador.- Thank you for your time, Senator. - Good luck, Claire.He's a son of a bitch.Let's try Peterson next.Approvals go up and down.We can't allow ourselves to be held hostage by public opinion. We're being held hostage by the Republicans.We can't beat them with you as the face of the party. Period. Have you all really thought this through?I'm a sitting president.But not an elected one.But still, to abandon the incumbent,and all the advantages that that entails?Which is the problem. We don't see any advantages.And if you were to come on board with us,if you were to announce that you're not running,it wouldn't seem as if we're abandoning you.The party looks unified.Bob Birch has been trying to do me insince I forced the Education Bill down his throat.I think he's using shaky logic to get you all on board so he can carry out some personal vendetta.It was my idea.Not Bob's.I hope you work with us.We meant it when we said it.We would like for you to be a part of the conversation. - Hello? - Hey, it's me.- I can't hear you. - Hang on a second.- Seth? - Yeah.I was just calling to check in. See how things are going. Good. Things are going really good.Hey, hold on one quick second.Listen, uh, I knowyou're rolling out the AmWorks program soon.I'm sure Remy has a plan in place,but I've been putting together a list.Some key representativesand what they might want in exchange for support. Skeletons in the closet, that kind of thing.Yeah, that's on hold for the moment.- You're not rolling it out? - It's just on hold.- Is something up? - No, everything's fine.We're focused on the summit next month with Russia. But you're good? You getting stronger?- Yeah. - In good spirits?Never been better.I'll email you my ideas. Let me know what he says.- Will do. - Thanks.Senator, when we met in your office last week,we had a long, productive conversation.I can't imagine ten seconds during the hearing would-- Senator, may I call you back in five minutes?Thank you.- Francis? - No luck. It was his idea.What are you going to do?Top 50 bundlers from last cycle.I don't need the leadership if I can get the money.- You? - Too early to tell.Well, I'm here if you need me.I've always said that power is more important than money. But when it comes to elections, money gives power... well, a run for its money.It's Francis Underwood.I thought you said he was handsome.Sorry to interrupt.Well, if she doesn't receive a text with the word "urgent," it's not an official date.How are you? Alan Cooke.- Remy Danton. - Nice to meet you.I'm just gonna go, uh... take a few calls.There's an espresso coming with your name on it, okay? Nice meeting you.So here we are.I wasn't part of the decision. They told me ten minutes before. Who are they talking to? About running?No one yet, as far as I can tell.There has to at least be a list. Even a mental one.Some ideas.We need you to find out.You know, when Walker resigned,Frank's president, you're Chief of Staff.- But me? - You're still in the leadership.- Assistant Whip. - It's a bullshit title.I'm out of the inner circle.What do you want?I want to be on the ticket. His VP.All we want is a little information.What you're asking is... disproportionate.It's repaying a debt.A big one. I whipped the votes for impeachment.I should get to cash in on that.There's no way he'll go for this.Then there's no reason for me to be your eyes and ears.I'll get back to you.During business hours.No, Mark, we ran it in the White House screening room and I swear to God, when those jets crashed into one of our Seawolf subs,the Joint Chiefs screamed.No, they didn't want you to use it and certainly not for free.David, I'm not just asking you for money,I'm asking you to be one of my campaign chairmen.That buys you a lot more than a night in the Lincoln Bedroom.Claire Underwood for Senator Hylbrook.I agree. We can never rely solely upon Security Counsel support.Scott, we're 18 months out.Now, if you wanna be on the ground floor,you got to shit or get off the pot.The key is to provide leadership, to lead by example.I was hoping we could hit Maidstone for a quick eighteen.No, I'm a terrible golfer.Exactly, you'd have the pleasure of beating a president.Now wouldn't that be a good cocktail story?I've spoken to almost every Republican in your committee, sir.Yes, they're taking their cue from you.Is there another number where I can reach him?It's important that we speak this evening.Yes, anytime, no matter how late.A little faith, Tom. That's all I'm asking.Oh, yes! I know, I don't like being called "Ma'am" Either.If I made every decision based on what makes people feel good,I'd be a talk show host, not the president.Well, I know Admiral Jennings is a good friend of yours,- I can call him personally. - Don't let fear drive you.That's not how you run your business, is it?I know you've been in my shoes,and sound bites are not who we are.Penny-wise and pound-foolish.I'm so sorry, Senator, did I wake you?Yes, no, I'll try back again tomorrow.I can't fault you for being shortsighted.I hope you won't fault me for having a long memory.Good night!I'm waking people up now. I'll start again in the morning.- How's it looking? - I had to flip a coin? I don't know.- You? - Not a single backer yet.- Not one? - California's still awake.Maybe I'll have better luck out west.I'm going for a run. I need to do something.- It's late. - Well, I'm too restless.Well, I'll be here, singing for my supper.It's humiliating to have to beg from some kid who was on Facebook before his testicles descended, but that's--Derrick, Francis Underwood. Do you have a few minutes?I'll be running along the Mall tonight.That requires a full detail.How soon can you be ready?We'd far prefer you ran on the track.I'll be running along the Mall.Yes, ma'am. We're going to need the First Lady's detail, ASAP. - This is off the record. - Agreed.You've called my office every dayfor the last six months with one question.I call everyone in the leadership.I get the same non-answer from all of you:"Frank Underwood is our president..."He has our undivided support.Birch slipped up once.He said "unwavering" instead of "undivided."I wanted to drug-test him.There was a meeting this morning in the White House.I was there on Pebble Beach when you came out.It lasted four and a half minutes.- You were in there for an hour. - We were inside for an hour. Doesn't mean the meeting lasted that long.What happened? Why so short?You're the Pulitzer finalist.America Works?Is that why the president went to the Capitol this afternoon? No one from the White House would say.Have a good night.You chose me. What's your play?When you write about presidents, people pay attention.It'll come down to the wire.I'm confident, but I don't want to leave anything to chance. Well, according to Erikson, I have 47 votes as of this morning. Well, I know, Senator, but that's not enough.I need yours.I have every intention of running for president.I need to know you two are with me.If you have any doubts, now's the time to let me know. Nancy, wipe the schedule clean.Yes, everything.We don't leave this office until we have a plan.Ma'am? The Easter Egg Roll we were scheduled for?- Right. - If this is a bad time...No, that's fine. Please, come in.Hello?Yes... Claire Underwood. He's expecting my call.Hi, Sheila. They're beautiful.Would you mind setting them up, please?I have a couple more calls to make.Hello, Senator. Yes, I'm well. How are you?The nomination of Claire Underwood, of Washington DC,to be the Representative ofthe United States of America to the United Nations.Yeas and nays have been ordered and the clerk will call the roll. - Mr. Abner. - Yea.Mr. Braun.Mr. Bray.- This one's a little too pink. - Girls like pink.This is more than pink. It's neon.- Uh, I'm choosing four? - Yes, ma'am.- Willa? - Up by two: 48 to 46.- Ma'am, we can finish up later. - No.- Uh, what's next? - The commemoratives.These are really special.A black egg?- Yes, with patriotic tipping. - It's still a black egg. Engraved with POTUS and FLOTUS signatures.Ma'am? Final tally: 52 to 48.Against.- The press? - In the briefing room.I'll just be a few minutes. Would you mind waiting? Not at all, ma'am.I just heard.I'm so sorry.The press is waiting.Well, they can wait.Do you want me to come with you?No. I just want to get it over with.Claire. You--Good morning.Naturally, I'm disappointedthat the Senate did not confirm my nomination today.But I'm very grateful to have been afforded the opportunity. I'd be remiss if I did not thank my husbandfor all the faith and trust he placed in me.He's always supported me in achieving my goals.I look forward to continued service as First Lady.Thank you.Um, let's go with the... green, the blue, and the cream.And for the rare one? The Golden Ticket, so to speak? Red. That one's beautiful.Thank you. Excuse me, please?You ever try to do this?Balance an egg?We used to do this as kids.You can't change the laws of physics, can you?I was wrong. It's too hard.Sir?Fighting the leadership, raising money.We can't get them to do what they're dead set against doing. We'd need six months just to get them back to square one. We have to reverse our thinking.When the wind's blowing at gale force,there's no point in sailing against it.What do you have in mind?The White House Counsel's office, please.I don't care about their schedules.If not today, tomorrow morning.Should I invite Jackie, too?Well, she qualifies as leadership.- What about her ask? - Stall her for now.Let's see how the meeting goes.I want you to write the speech, every word.- Yes, sir. - And no leaks.You'll have a draft in three hours.And, sir... Doug emailed me a lobbying strategy for AmWorks. - Do you want to look at it? - Of his own accord?- You didn't tell him? - No, I didn't say a word.It must be what he gathered from watching the news.- How is he? - Uh, Doug seems fine.I've been calling him, like you asked.- But he seems all right? - Well, he tells me things are good, although I don't think he'd admit it if they weren't.Why don't you stop by from time to time, since I can't.- See him in person. - Yes, sir.And send me his email.Claire?I'll be in my study if you need me.What're you working on?- Brought you a coffee. - My savior.The leadership meeting yesterday morning.It lasted four and a half minutes.Where'd you hear that?That's not long enough to reject a major domestic agenda.I wasn't in the meeting. I don't know how long it lasted.- Something went down. - If you say so.Uh, I didn't hear anything about it.Could've been the president was called away.- That happens all the time. - Not this time.How do you know?Clearly, I have a source that knows more than you.Most sources do. At least they pretend they do.Thanks for the coffee.Two sugars next time. I'll remember that.You talked to Ayla Sayyad.I can either be an asset or a liability.You think this puts you on the ticket now?Not if you tell him.But the smart move would be to advocate on my behalf. Don't strong-arm me, Jackie.You're the man in the middle. Who else would I strong-arm?I want to be on your team, Remy.We do well when we're on the same team.You have more calls?No. I'm done.- Who spoke to her? - I have no idea, sir.- Well, it's your job to know. - Things are moving fast.I'm just trying to stay ahead of them.Well, we need to move faster. Has the meeting been set? Eight AM tomorrow. I just heard back from Birch's office.Good. Let's have the networks ready to go live by nine.One more thing. Jackie.I think you should decide sooner rather than later.If we're gonna go this route,we need every ally we can get.After the meeting. We'll discuss then.You've emerged.I took a nap. Last night was... I didn't get much sleep.Me, neither.We're gonna find something for you.Some other position, or something as First Lady, I promise.I know.- What are you doing up? - I've got to go over my speech.It's happening tomorrow night.What speech?It's premature, isn't it?Read on.Yes?Yes.Thank you. Please.I put a great deal of thought into what you've all asked of me.I challenged myself to keep an open mind.And my decision is: I will not run for president.Look, they're thinking it's too good to be true, and it is.I lied in the Oval Office before.I didn't want to take the chance this time.It's too big a deal to jinx myself.At nine o'clock tonight,I will announce to the nation my decision.What's the catch?I wanted us to meet here in this room for a reason.For the past five months,my team has sat at this very table, developing America Works. You know how much the program means to me,and I want it to mean as much to you.- So there is a catch. - No, an opportunity.Look, we all know the--All right, let's just say for... argument's sakethat this table hererepresents the next year and a half, all right?So, this is us right now.And down there at the end, that's the election.Now, if I did run, I'd spend the next few months fundraising. And then somewhere around here, I'd formally announce. And then even if I did win the nomination,say, somewhere around here,I'd start to have to face offwith a Republican challenger, probably Mendoza.And then things would get brutal.Daily, daily events.Fending off attacks.Launching my own.And... you're right.In the end......I'd probably lose.I would spend 18 months campaigning,which would leave no time to govern.But you have opened my eyes.I feel liberated.I want to spend these next 18 months dedicated to one thing: America Works. But I need your help to do it.You're putting an awfully big price tag on this, Mr. President. No, you've put an awfully big price tag on this.You're asking me to be a placeholder for 18 monthsand I intend to govern.And if America Works succeeds,then whoever you choose to run in 2016not only has the backing of a united party,but a formidable legacy.But Social Security? Benefits. Entitlements.We don't want to present a fresh faceonly to shoot ourselves in the foot.Then let's not pretend to unite the party,let's unite the party behind this legislation.We'll never get it past the Republicans.We are not here to negotiate!You want forward-thinking, Bob? Then think forward.You want a fresh face for 2016? You wanna work together?。

纸牌屋--第1季第4集-字幕-对白-纯英文-看美剧学英语-打印-word版It's there for leverage so that we can lock down performance standards. You don't toss around their right to collective bargaining like a poker chip. If we don't, they won't budge.Has Marty Spinella seen this?Not the version I showed him.So you lied to his face.No. I revised the parameters of my promise.Which is lying.Which is politics...the sort you're well versed in, Bob.Here's some politics for you.I allow this to go to the floor,I get murdered next election.This is coming from the President.Last time I checked,I was still a Democrat, Frank,and you were too.Are you telling me the President isn't?Because he's acting a hell of a lot like a Republican.I thought Bob was on our team.Just sit him down with the President ten minutes.We won't touch collective bargaining.Are you interested in my advice on this,or do you just want me to deliver the message?I'm always interested in your advice, Frank.Birch is right. You're going to burn a lot of bridges.The President should at least sit down with himand let him make his case.You tell BobI'm happy to schedule a meeting with the Presidentonce he's set a date to put this bill on the floor.The President can fuck himself.This is the platform. It's what he ran on.I don't give a shit what he ran on.He can't steamroll the house.And don't forget,you work for me, Frank, not him.If he wants something on the floor,he's gonna have to talk to me directly.I know you take a lot of pride in your manhood, Bob,and it's impressive,but as big as it is,Linda can still shut the door on it.Tell Vasquez the bill is dead.That's not the first time he's pulled that stunt on me.Probably should have held my tongue,but I just couldn't resist the chance to see him shrivel.Good morning.Frank.Mr. President.Linda.Let's strike the anti-collective bargaining provision from the bill.Linda and I have talked it over, and I think she's right on this.Tell Bob he can come by tomorrow afternoon.Sir, respectfully,I do not think you should give him the satisfaction.Well, give me a reason.Makes us appear weak.There's an opportunity for you to establish your supremacy.We should seize it.But without Birch's cooperation,we're fighting an uphill battle before we even get the bill to the floor. Frank, we discussed this.Sir, if you give in now,Birch will walk all over youfor the next four years.I can get this bill on the house floor as is.I promise you.All right, Frank. Show me what you can do.Thank you, Mr. President.That was her trying to take credit for my idea.Advice she wouldn't take from me... unacceptable.I will not allow her to sell my goodswhen she cuts me out of the profits.I specifically told her no interviews.She disobeyed me...not just once.At least eight times in the past month.She stays, Tom.She has no respect for my authority, Margaret.I said she stays.There are rules.There's a way of doing things.If I have a reporter who won't listen to...two freshmen girls are moving into their dorm room together. One of them's from Georgia,one of them's from Connecticut.The girl from Connecticut's helping her mother put up curtains. The girl from Georgia turns to them and says, "Hi. Where y'all from?"The girl from Connecticut says,"We're from a place where we knownot to end a sentence with a preposition."The girl from Georgia says, "Oh, beg my pardon.Where y'all from...cunt?"You heard that one before?A version of it. With softer language.Tom, we don't need people who follow the rules.We need people with personality.We want Zoe's face, her energy.We want to get her on TV as much as possible.It helps us cut through the noise.See what I'm saying?I hear you, Margaret.Thank you, Tom.Thank you.Come in.Oh. I, uh, thought...I wanted to say hi to Evelyn.Evelyn?This was her office.I don't think she works here anymore. Gillian Cole.I came on board a couple of weeks ago. Gillian. World well.Yeah.I've heard great things.Remy Danton.You work with Claire?In a way.Hello, Remy.Claire.- I see you've met Gillian. - Yes, just now. She's doing fantastic work for us,as you can see.Red is completed wells,green, uh, potential sites,yellow approved sites,and blue are the filtration centers.Nice. So you liking it here?Yeah. My staff and I are loving it.Claire's opened a lot of doors for us.Sounds like Claire.Shall we head to my office?Gillian, nice to meet you.Nice to meet you.What happened?Things got complicated.San Corp was in a difficult situation.I would have thought you'd step upwhen things were difficult,not hold the donation hostage.Well, things are less complicated now.The donation is back on the table.I had to fire half my staff.Now you can hire them back.San Corp is prepared to double its initial commitment...1.5 million, lump sum, this quarter.- Why? - Public relations. Same as before.And what do they want from Francis?Things are square with Frank.We're only talking about the C.W.I.But why double it?Because I said they should.The more they give, the more you can do.The more you can do, the better they look.And that's why they hired Glendon Hill...to make them look good.And they also hired you to get traction in congress. Not in this case.We want a long-term partnership, Claire.This is an investment in the future.We're not attaching strings.I'll think about it.They'd really love to move quickly on this.I said I'll think about it.Madeleine, you have to email me this shit.I need it in writing.And with more than an hour's notice.Yeah, I know that,but you have to understand we... we have a plan. We have a way that we do this,and when you...Okay.Fine.Yeah. Yeah. Bye.Madeleine has decided to havea spur-of-the-moment trip to Orlando with her latest eHarmony catch.No heads-up, no warning.The kids?They get out of school at 2:30.I can do the shipbuilders meeting.You sure?Yeah, it's just a public affairs team.I'll brief you, and then you can call them tomorrow. Go get your kids.Remy came by this morning. T o the office.What does he want?The donation's back on the table.They've doubled it to 1.5 million.- You said no, right? - I didn't.He doesn't want anything from you, Francis.Come on, Claire. You know better than that.I specifically asked.Maybe not right now,but look, I invented this guy, all right?It's a slippery slope. You...Think of what I can do with this money.I can hire back the people I let go.I can help accelerate the funding for the projects that Gillian has brought in.Let's find another way to raise the money.But it's right there at my feet.Claire, I have too much on my plate right now.I can't have San corp breathing down my neck again.I can't have Remy...Look, it is Remy.He knows me too well. It's dangerous.Look at the bigger picture here.I'm asking.No. You're not.Claire.I'll tell you what I told him.Which was?I'll think about it.I know there's been some tension,and I'm probably more to blame than you are.But I'd like to put that behind us.Zoe,you're going to be our new White House correspondent. What about Janine?I promoted her to Midwest Bureau chief.She's okay with that?She wants to give up the White House?It's the decision I've made.It's just that Janine has so much experience.I thought you'd be more excited about this.I'm sorry. I... I just thought you brought me in here to...I don't know.To fire you.Maybe.Water under the bridge.We're starting over.So are you ready to take this on?Can I think about it?People usually don't have to think about itwhen they're offered the White House, Zoe.Just a day or two.Janine is booked for a flight to Chicago on Friday. I'll let you know before then.I just need to...Thank you. Thank you, Tom.David Rasmussen is the majority leader,which means he's one step above meand one below Birch,which is akin to being between a very hungry wolf and a very quarrelsome sheep.Let's see if he stays with the herd or joins the pack. David. You mind if I join you?Please. A salad, huh?Yes. I'm trying to take better care of myself. Good man. Diet?Diet, exercise, everything.You ought to take better care of yourself too. Well, they should stop serving such good pizza. Oh, I'm not talking about the food.I'm talking about Birch.You are never going to be speakerunless you do something about it.I'm very satisfied where I am.- Oh, come on. - For the time being, yeah.Time being never.The only way you become Speakeris if Birch loses his district or retires,neither of which is going to happenbefore you and I have dentures.I'm not happy where this conversation is going, Frank.If you want it, and I know you do,there's a way.Okay. Right. I can't...all you need is a simple majority... 218 votes.We're going to get at least 205 out of the G.O.P.,and after that, all you need is 13 Democrats.You and I make two.Are you out of your mind?Just consider it for a moment.You want to collude with the Republicans?I don't want to,but I would if you become Speaker in the process.Never been done before.There's a first time for everything.This is ridiculous.The Republicans would love a chance to knock Bob down a peg or two. And you want to help them.I want to help us.Bob will not play ball with the White House.Now, you're a reasonable man, David, and he's not.You know what I am?I'm a discreet man.You're lucky for that.I'm not going to mention this to Bob,but if you ever bring it up again,I won't have a choice.Looks like he opted for the herd.Claire.I'd like to put an order for the water filtersand the well-digging equipment for the South Sudan project.Can we talk about the budget?- How much? - 200,000.For one project?I know it's a lot,but it'll be our flagship project in Africa,and we would be the first organization thereto work on this scale.I'd like to go over the specifics first.I have the budget right here.Let me just grab my messages, and then I'll come in to you. Okay. I'll be in my office.Any calls while I was out?They're on the desk, and this came by messenger.They're on the desk, and this came by messenger. Adam. It's Claire.Yes. I know. It has.No reason. I was just thinking about you.You're right. It is a lie.I do have a reason.I need to use you.The White House is where news goes to die. Everything's canned.These perfectly prepared statements...it's a prestigious job, Zoe.Used to be, when I was in ninth grade.Now it's a graveyard.The only halfway interesting thing they dois throw a big dinner party once a yearwhere they pat themselves on the backand rub shoulders with movie stars.Who needs that?Every day since you started here,you've begged me to move you up, and now...My goal in life is notto climb up the Herald's ladder one rung at a time until I've got my own stationery.Some of us value a career at a paper like this.I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to come off...Well, it did, and you skipped a few rungs, by the way.Do what you want to do, Zoe,but if you want me to be your cheerleader and say, "Yeah, turn it down," I won't.I would have killed for that job when I first started here.I would have killed for that job when I first started here.Put Fichtner in the "Leaning yes" Column.Don't you think he's a neutral?He hates Birch.Yeah, but he owes Birch for the ways and means appointment. Put him in "Neutral." Who else?Put him in "Neutral." Who else?Ramirez is a neutral?Oh, this list is so shaky.Any one of them leaks it to Bob...No, what we need is one name,one person who can deliver 12.The black caucus.Womack.What can we offer him?What does he need?Let me pull up his file.Let me pull up his file.Here we go.McCudden air force base employs 3,000 people in his district. It's on the D.O.D.'s chopping block this year.Who do we know on the BRAC commission?That's dangerous.The trail leads back to us trying to influence the D.O.D. or the BRAC.No, no, no.What we do is we close another base.We leave enough money in the D.O.D.'s budget to keep Womack's base off the list.What we need...Is someone we own.Is someone we own.Dad, I'm hungry.Coming, buddy.Here we go.With cheese.Without cheese.Um, dad?Yeah.That looks pretty disgusting.Yeah, it looks disgusting.It's not how it looks, it's how it tastes.And a fork would be nice.Shit. Okay. Hold on.Hello.Good evening, Mr. Russo.There's a Mr. Underwood here to see you. Uh... Okay. Sendhim up.Hi, there.This is Kevin, this is Sara.Hi. I'm Frank. Nice to meet you both.- Do you work with dad? - I do.Congressman Underwood is daddy's boss.I thought you didn't have a boss.Everybody has a boss, sweetheart,even congressmen.Why don't you take your dinner and go into the bedroom? - But I wanted to watch TV. - Go now.Cute kids.Yeah, I like them.Can I get you a drink?No, I won't be here long.Yeah. Have a seat.Oh, thanks.Is that a ps vita?Which games does he have?All of them.I have a console at home.I play sometimes to relax.I ought to get one of these for the car.So, Peter,we need to close the shipyard in your district.The BRAC hearing is tomorrow.You won't put up your usual fight.You have zero testimony to add.I can't do that.Yes, you can, Peter.I spent months on that testimony.I lobbied the commission. My entire office...I'm sure you've done splendid work,but unfortunately it can't come to fruition.- Why? - Politics.There's forces bigger than either of us at play here.It's 12,000 jobs.I know. It's a shame.Keeping that shipyard open is what got me elected. Those people are my friends.I'm not here to debate this, Peter.The base will close.The only question is,will you make it a swift death or a painful one?No way. I won't sit on my hands.I sympathize that this is gonna be difficult for you.And I don't know how yet,but I will make it up to you, Peter.I'm a powerful friend to have right now,perhaps your only friend,so don't defy me.Love of family.Most politicians are permanently chained to that slogan...family values.But when you cozy up to hookers and I find out, I will make that hypocrisy hurt.Did you get the present I sent you?You wouldn't really call it a present.Well, more of a gentle reminder, maybe.Mm, more heavy-handed than gentle,which surprised me.It's not really your style, Francis.But, yes. I got it.I like that one.I do too.But the first one's better.You think?Something special tomorrow?Adam Galloway's coming down from New York. What for?Because I need some of his photographsfor the silent auction at the gala next month. You speak to Remy yet?I haven't.If you want to look inviting, wear the black one. Hello.Oh. Okay. Great. Thanks.Adam?How is it the world keeps spinningand you manage to stay ahead of it?David's on board with this?It was his idea.Then why isn't he here?Well, we have to be careful until it's a done deal.I don't know, Frank.Think about it, Terry.You could become the first African-American majority leader in the United States congress.Let's make some history.You don't care about history.You just wanted me because I can round up the votes.I need the votes, and I do care about history,but most importantly, Terry,you know how to lead.You're the head of the black caucus for a reason.So David becomes speaker, I become majority leader... and I stay on as whip.Why don't you want majority leader for yourself?I'm satisfied where I am.Maybe one day, when you become speaker,you'll bump me up.This is the sort of thing that there's no turning back.I can throw a cherry on top.McCudden stays open.How?。

John! We're paying you to clean cars,not read the paper.Yeah, okay. Sorry.When I think of the goodness of Jesusand all that He's done for me,my soul shouts out, "Hallelujah."- Hallelujah! - Amen.That was absolutely beautiful.You sang it as heavenly and as loudlyas we do in Dallas. Amen!Amen.My mother and I are proud tointroduce a man who fought for you in Congress.He's fighting for you now in the White House.We wanna help him to stay there.- Amen. - Amen.President Frank Underwood!All right!Thank you.You're all wonderful.Thank you. Please be seated.You know, it's on a morning like this, in a church like yours, that I'm very proud to be a South Carolinian."How many of you drove to church?Let me start by asking,how many of you drove to church here this morning?"How many of you drove to get to church here this morning? And how many of you drove together?Well, I can appreciate that.Gas prices right noware putting a strain on everybody's pocketbooks.Isn't that true?I think maybe more here in Gaffney,at least I feel it here in Gaffney more than anywhere else. "Especially here in Gaffney.Now, as president, I feel responsible for that.Or maybe, I feel even more so here.You know, we've never been a rich town.You know, a lot of times in my childhood, I thought to myself, 'Why, we just, we were almost like an invisible town to people... We didn't matter.'"That we didn't matter.And, of course, I was a white boy.And as poor as my family was,we still were a lot better off than a lot of your families...who not only had to struggle through povertybut had to fight racism as well.Now, how many of you remember 1973?"Now, how many of you remember 1973?When gas prices were as bad as they are today,and we had to wait hours just to fill our tank.Why, OPEC was trying to hold us hostage thenjust as Russia's trying to hold us hostage now.But somehow...our little community, why, we came together, didn't we? We came together, didn't we?" Yes.We looked out for each other. We were there for each other. Now, maybe we didn't matter to the rest of the country,but we sure as heck mattered to each other.We're still struggling with poverty,and racism is still something we have to fight against.But I know that this town does matter.That all of you matter.And I don't just say that because African Americans represent half the vote in this state.I say that because, despite our troubles...we are one community.One family.And that gives us strength.That strength is a powerful thing.It's not invisible.It radiates.I place my faith in God to give me purpose.I put my hope in you to give me strength.Yes, sir.And come tomorrow, when you vote...I hope that you will place your trust in me......to help continue to lead this countryas we have led this community, together.Thank you all very much.Good morning.I'm LeAnn Harvey, traveling to Washington.The First Lady isn't here yet, Ms. Harvey,but you're welcome to board the plane, if you'd like.Uh, no, I'll wait until she gets here. Thank you.Aidan.Hey, I just sent the research.- What's the gist? - The anger, it's biblical.- Uh, gas prices? - Yeah, gas is school.Gas is work.Gas is the family trip to Disneyland.Every cent it goes up is another six points on the anger index. We predict that $7 a gallon will get you riots.What about the First Lady?Oh, she's faring better than he is.Sympathy for the sick mother.Thanks for the rush job on this.Well, you're a friend. And this is far more interesting than... testing names of anti-depressants for five-year-olds, or... what color cross trainers soccer moms will drool over.- I thought you hated politics. - I do.But anger? And seduction?Those are interesting.- Mother, my earrings. - Yes?You took them.I did no such thing.I said I don't...You're taking my money. I took something of yours. Claire...When you leave today, I don't want you coming back. Oh, I'll come and go as I please, Mother.This is unreal.You sure we can count on this guy?He loathes Francis. That we can count on.But use your best judgment.Who compiled this?An analytics firm I contract with,one of the best in the country.They can be trusted?Yes. I work directly with the owner.Francis really needs this win in South Carolina.He sure does.Let's release more of the strategic reserve.That might slow down the price inflation, but it won't halt it. How are you two ladies enjoying those ribs?Mmm, I'm gonna need a nap after this.Well, you'll have time.I have two hours of fundraising calls to make.It was very nice of youto let us stay at your house, Mr. President.Well, that's how we do things here in Gaffney.Sir?Listen, I am not gonna negotiate a bailoutif he won't budge on privatization.If he wants to let his own people starve, so be it.He may look for relief from Beijing, and that would-- The only thing he hates more than us is China.He won't kowtow.But if Petrov does cave to them,that puts the global energy--Look, Cathy, I have to call you back.- When? - About 30 minutes ago.- So this will be your box, number 433. - Thank you. Would you like to open up a savings account with us? - Debit card? - No, the box is fine.Okay.Would you mind if I...Oh, sure. I'll give you some privacy.Thank you.Good to see you.You, too, Francis.I'm surprised.I don't hear from you, then you just show up.Mmm, to be honest, I wasn't sure until I landed.You've gotten some sun.Tractor-pulling event yesterday. I should've worn a hat.- Are Doris and Celia here? - They were.I set up cots for them in the guest room,but when I heard you were coming, I sent them off to a hotel.I figured you'd want that room for yourself.That's very thoughtful.You have an event now.Limestone College.Well, I'll join you.They'll be there, if you'd rather not see--It'll be fine.Unless you'd rather I not go.No, I'd love you to come.If he knows I'm involved...So make sure he doesn't.Can I see it?Oh, boy.Now, this could get interesting.We need it done by tomorrow morning.Well, my cousin has a friend, owns an industrial print shop, but a job that size...This should cover it.And then some.Oh, I didn't know Heather Dunbar had it in her.It's nice to meet you, Mr. Chase.Well, are you sure you wouldn't like some iced tea?Thank you, no. I should get going.How about some fries with that shake?Get done what I want done. Don't make me come back here. - What did Manny say? - I got your shift, bro.- What about the car? - The Fusion.I can reset the odometer,park it in front of your place after work.But, hey... you gotta get it back by tomorrow night.- Otherwise, when they do the inventory-- - I promise you. All right.So the cost.As soon as I get my paycheck, I'll--No. I don't want money.Most of the other guys work here, they ain't much to look at. You?Keep lookin' over.Hey, man, listen...- You want the car or not? - I'll find some other way.I know about you.I seen your parole officer come check in on you.What would he say about you taking one of these cars? Come on.Get in.I just learned today that Limestone College,founded in 1845,was the first women's college in South Carolina,and one of the first in the nation.And that's something to be proud of.And since then, this school and its students have flourished.A young, eager communityof men and women of all races and backgrounds,a true reflection of America's future.How did he convince you to come back?I convinced myself.Forty-six years I was married to my husband before he passed.But if he'd pulled on me what Frank pulled on you,he would've been long gone.I think it's worked out for the best.Your daughter is going to make a fabulous congresswoman. Well, thank you.Two minutes.Now, Frank Underwood understands the need for equality,in education and throughout our lives.Most of all, he believes in giving every Americanthe opportunity to earn a living.He put this belief into action before and he will again,and Frank Underwoodwill not allow this journey to end with Limestone.You will go out into this worldand astonish us all with your intellect,your... your worthiness, and your strength.Now, I would like to introduce two of the strongest women I know. Well, don't you look thick as thieves....and the First Lady of the United States, Claire Underwood. It's as though she never left.And that's what I'm afraid of.All right, let's hurry on up, now.Bugayev is telling me that they are willingto reduce their oil output byanother 20% by the first of next month.What are the projections on gas prices?North of 150 a barrel for oil.Six, maybe $7 a gallon for fuel.My phone has been ringing off the hook, sir,from the U.K. to Poland.The IMF wants to help uswith the debt relief solution.Sir?We need to respond to strength with strength.Well, I don't know how we could be any stronger,other than to invade Russia.And what if we do?- Excuse me, sir? - Not with troops.With fear.He's never trusted us.He already thinks we're behind Milkin's failed coup.What if we put Milkin in a position to succeed.Now, I don't care if Milkin actually succeeds.Unfreeze all his assets. Fly him to a border country.Put him in a room with other dissidents.Petrov needs to know that we'll stop at nothing.Sir, the diplomatic repercussions of such an action--All I want is the appearance.Let's look at best and worst case scenarios as soon as possible. Thank you very much.Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were--That bed was too stiff.- I'll sleep in there then. - Sleep in here.We had the mattress on the floor.What?That first year, the mattress and those lumpy pillows.Which you used to steal from me in the middle of the night. Well, because you would hog all the covers.God, we were living like heathens.Well, because we were spending everything we had on the race.I remember I used to think this place was a palace, though.- It was. - Not compared to the ranch.Well, it was a palace because it was ours.Good night, Francis.The press has surrounded the house.I can't leave the damn placeuntil I know exactly what I'm gonna say.We need to cancel your events.Of course we need to cancel my events.- The expression on my face is a-- - What's going on?...taken in a nondescript location,does not seem to be a direct endorsement for the KKK.- My God. - My father.Sir? Congresswoman Jones is heading back to Texas.Get her on the phone for me, right now.Meechum, I need you to do me a favor.There are no clues at the momentas to who may be responsible,but Gaffney PD is taking the canvas picture downwithin the hour for further examination.On primary day.I can't verify anything yet in terms of who it is,or even whether it's real, or--The day before New Hampshire, there's a marriage story,and now in South Carolina we have this?Uh, how are we getting blindsided?- I should get that-- - Let it ring.Look...I didn't even know about the fight until you told me.And how was I supposed to know about this photo?Because it is your job to get out ahead of this shit.The oppo team should've tracked this down. That's the campaign. So, if Vaughn didn't know, or the president didn't tell him...It has to be somebody close to him. Someone with a lot of access. The president's on the line.Sir, it's Doug. I'm in here with Seth.I'm gonna tell the truth. I'm gonna say it is my father.That's probably the best response,if you have a good way to frame it.I know what to say. The question is where.One-on-one. Something exclusive.Not in front of the media.I need to connect directly to the voters,the African American voters.Mr. President, I've got the Secretary of State.I'll call her back.Hang on, boys. Meechum?It's here, sir.What can you tell me?Yesterday, a woman named Leslie McIntyreopened a new box.I'm having the name run now,but it looks like she used a fake social.What about security footage?They reset the cameras every morning.I asked what she looked likeand all the manager said is that it was a Caucasian brunette. Nothing strange about her.All right. Bring the box back here.Don't let it out of your sight.As far as I know, there's only one photograph.Meechum says it's still at the bank.Sir, it's just me.Are you thinking what I'm thinking?Yes, sir.Well, you keep an eye on him.I want emails and phone records of everyone in the White House. Including yours.Mine? You honestly think--Is there a problem?No.Good.It's unfortunate.Ms. Dunbar! Ms. Dunbar? Ms. Dunbar?The imagery...That anyone would try to inflame racial discordby doing something so base.Whether it's Calvin Underwood isn't the point.If it is, and we have no confirmation on that,I mean... Who put this up? And why?Who knows.And the sins of the father aren't necessarily the sins of the son. But... it's troubling. Very troubling.Stunts like these have the potential to open old wounds.We can't let that happen. We need to rise above it.Make clear, no matter who you support,that this sort of behavior will not be tolerated.Get me Reverend Clark and Gene Clancy on the phone.Hey, they want you out by the bus.By the bus?- Um, who are you? - Sorry.Mark from the Butler County office.They want all the Cincinnati volunteersto gather by the bus for a photo with Dunbar.Jenn told me I wasn't supposed to leave--That's why she sent me.She didn't want you to miss the photo. Go.Out by the bus?She told me to cover for you.Okay, um...well, there were a couple of no-shows,but, you know, otherwise, everyone's here.- Okay. Thanks. - Very convenient. Thanks.Enjoy.I'm David Grimes with the Cleveland Plain Dealer.Where's your credential?I was an idiot and left it in the car.They recognized me at the check-in desk, though.I can direct you to the bullpen,but this area is off-limits to the press.I'm actually supposed to do an interview with Cynthia Driscoll. The Advance guys said I should come this way.Wait here.I'm sorry, Mr. President, we just can't do it.Forty-five percent of the vote here is African American.You and your mother standing by my sidewould go a long way to put this--I am running for Congress in a black and Latino district.My mother was beaten and hosed down in marches.You want us to vouch for a man whose father was in the KKK? - No, he was not in the Klan. - That was him in that picture. Yes, but I've explained that.This is the state where the Civil War started,where you can still see rebel flags on bumper stickers.There is a history of racist brutality here, Mr. President. Those sort of symbols matter.Could you put your mother on, please?Mom?He wants to speak to you.Mr. President.Listen, we need to stand together. Now, I've endorsed Celia. Claire can do a great deal for her in Texas.She's better off without the Underwoods at this point.But what about your clinic?Imagine how that would look, holding our clinic for ransom.I'm appealing to your goodwill, Congresswoman.When we stop getting beaten and shot...you'll have my goodwill, Mr. President.Goodbye.Get me Gene Clancy again.What if it's Oren Chase, Francis?He could've gotten his hands on a copy.There may be more than one.Meechum first, then Clancy.Lucas?We need to talk.- I thought you were-- - I was. I'm... I'm out now.This is important.Mr. President, was your father a racist?Was your father a racist?Mrs. Underwood, is your mother okay?Mr. President!- Mr. Chase? - Who are you?United States Secret Service.We're not after you, Mr. Chase.We're after whoever put you up to it.Put me up to what?You can answer me here,or we can go to the Columbia field office for questioning.I have no idea what you're talking about.All right, I need you to come with me, sir.- Now, hold on. - Step outside, sir.I wanna talk to a lawyer.I need backup at 4126.- Come on, that's not necessary. - Not if you cooperate, sir. If I talk to you, I won't get in trouble?I swear to God, Ms. Dunbar. It's all true.Then where's the proof?I don't have the means, but you do.You've investigated him before. You know he's dangerous. Mr. Goodwin--Why would he go after me if I wasn't onto something? This was a high-level sting operation.Major resources were dedicated to it.I'm... I was a journalist, no criminal record.How am I suddenly such a threat, unless I'm--Even if I did believe you,I am no longer part of the DOJ. I am a private citizen now. Who's running for president--Aren't you breaking WITSEC protocol by being here?I am no longer comfortable with this.You're... you're my last chance. Please!- I suggest that you go back home. - I'm... The things I've-- - Don't make us get security involved. - Please. Just-- Just give us five minutes until she's out of the building. Please. Please listen to me.I'm... I'm begging you.Just help me...Help.Please, please...Oh, God...How could you put me in a room with him?I didn't know what he was gonna say.But I assumed that if he went to such great lengths--The DUI, that's all he has proof of. That's nothing.Even I have helped people get off for that.- There's the affair... - With no evidence.Then he leaps to murder... Two murders?The man is troubled.We saw the look in his eye.I thought he might have something real.He used to be a good editor.And now he is a convicted felon.You said no stone unturned.I'm sorry, I should have thought better of it.Yes, you should have.Let's let it go. How are we doing in South Carolina?Early exit polls are good.- We have a shot at winning. - Actually winning?That billboard's done real damage.I appreciate you doing this, Gene.You're really saving my life here.Just remember it when I run for county executive.I'll be down here whenever you need me.Oh, it's not the when, it's the what. And how much. Afternoon, Oren.- Mr. President. - Have a seat.Didn't you learn your lesson with all that Peachoid nonsense?Well, you promised to help me with the 4th.I let my bitterness get the better of me.Who specifically approached you? A woman?- Brunette? - Yeah.Uh, about so tall, good-looking.Wouldn't give me her name.We should get photosof everyone in Dunbar's staff that fits that description.Already compiling it, ma'am.And as for you...you're gonna plant yourself in front of as many TV camerasthat can gather around that bony ass of yours.You're gonna be wracked with guilt and overcome with conscience. And you do that and I'll make sure that you aren't charged.You want me to say it was Dunbar?Come on, be smarter than that, Oren. She'll sue you for slander. Just say you were boughtand people will connect the dots on their own.Get him out of here.I hope you don't Welsh onyour promise to me the way you did with Oren.You're family, Gene. I would never betray one of the family.Shall we?Ready?Many of you voted for me for mayorbecause you've known me your whole lives.Well, I've known Frank Underwood my whole life.He's my friend and I trust him,and I don't care what's on that billboard.I'm proud he's my president,and I'm proud to have... be standing with him here today.Thank you, Gene.Yesterday, I stood in this church...and I talked about community.I talked about our collective strength,black and white, coming together during times of crisis.And today there's probably a lot of you who think I'm a hypocrite. How can a man whose father was in the KKK stand up hereand mean the things he said?Yes, that is my father in that photograph,I'm not going to deny it.But the truth is he wasn't in the Klan.The year that photo was taken,my father needed $5,000 to pay off our debts,or the bank was gonna foreclose on our farm.Now, my father went to every other bankwithin a hundred miles of here,and no one would give him a loan.He asked friends, he asked family,but nobody had that kind of money.And we were about to lose everything.Now, at the time, the owner of the Gaffney First Bankwas a member of the Klan.Some of you know that.And he would do whatever the Klan told him to do,and my father knew that.So my father did what he had to do.He went to a meeting and begged the leader of that chapterto talk to the owner of the bank.And at that meeting, that's when that photograph was taken.The only reason he was there was to try to save our farm.Now, Calvin Underwood hated himself for going to that meeting. He hated himself for taking that photograph.But he would've hated himself even more if he'd lost our farm...if he hadn't been able to provide and support his family.Now, look, I'm not trying to ask you to forgive himbeing in that photograph.He probably thought no one would ever see it.But I am asking you to empathize with his predicament.And ask yourselves...what would you do to save your family?Now, whoever stole that photograph and vandalized that billboard, they're not trying to unearth some big scandal about my past,'cause it just isn't true.What they're trying to do is divide us.What they really wanna succeed in doingis making sure you don't vote for me today.They've gone to a whole lot of troubleto make me look pretty bad.But that's politics.My hope in coming here today...and speaking openly and honestly about this...is that we can stay united.So my plan is to stay here as long as it takes,to speak to each one of you individually,and answer every question that you might have.Thank you very much.Thank you very much, ma'am.President Underwood,speaking live in his home town of Gaffney, South Carolina, addressing claims thathis father was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.A billboard there was vandalized late last nightwith a photo of his father standingnext to a man in Klan robeswith the caption, "Underwood 2016."As we've just seen, the president did not deny allegationsthat his father had some connection to the organization,instead explaining that Calvin Underwood attended one meetingas a last resort to save his family's peach farm from foreclosure.The president was subject to widespread criticismafter news of his family's alleged Klan connection broke this morning. Today's primary result will show--I don't know her name. I asked, but she wouldn't tell me.And I deeply regretthat I allowed my political leanings to compromise my better judgment.I want to apologize to anyone I might have offendedby hoisting up such painful imagery.We're getting calls asking if it was us.- Do you think someone from our team-- - Absolutely not.I think Underwood put this guy up to it.He's trying to turn this back around on us.We need to deny, forcefully.I'm already putting a press avail together at your next event.Maybe we need to reconsider Goodwin.- What do you have in mind? - I'm not sure.Look at this.It came from the goddamn White House!We're questioning the photographer now, sir.I've got a statement prepared thatthis was a run-of-the-mill event,that you took photos with lots of re-enactors.It doesn't matter how you spin it.I just stood in front ofa group of African Americans in a churchasking them to believe in me.It's bad enough they see my father next to a Klansman.Now they see me next to a symbol of slavery.I wanna find out who's leaking this shit,and I want their head on a goddamn stake!Sir, I have a theory.I think...Well, I think it might be Edward Meechum.Meechum?He knew about the argument between you and the First Lady. He was there on that trip to Virginia.He would never do something like this.Dunbar has a lot of money.Put out a statement to the networksthat I won't be giving a concession speech.Sir... don't you think that might look like you're running from-- I just lost my home state.I'm not gonna rake myself over the coals.Meechum?I'm not ruling anyone out.Sir?I brought the safety deposit box for you.You can put it down.- Meechum. - Yes, sir?Have I given you any reason to hurt me?Hurt you, sir?Have I done you wrong in any way?I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand.Look me in the eyes, Meechum.- Sir... - Meechum, shh.Are you all right, sir?I've been better.I'm still on duty.Is there...anything I can do?You could go out and stuff some ballot boxes for me. - You'll bounce back from this. - I sure hope I can. Uh, when I got fired...from the Capitol Police...I mean, I know it doesn't compare, but...I felt pretty bad.I thought my career was over.Then you turned everything around.You don't get second chances in elections.I know.But there's a lot of primaries ahead.All I'm saying is it's not over. You'll get through this. - I'm sorry, that must sound so stupid. - No, it doesn't.I appreciate it.I'll be out by the motorcade, sir, if you need anything. Thank you, Meechum.I knew it, but I didn't wanna believe it.It's only a wound.It's not fatal.My home state, Claire.Have a seat.I end your race so you end mine?- Let me explain, Francis. - Spite, revenge!Please, sit down. We need to talk.Nothing is going to come from anger right now.Last night when we were talking, you called this house a palace. This is where we began.And do you remember when my mother almost left Daddy because he funded your campaign?That's how much she hated you.But I didn't care,because I saw something. I saw a future.Our future.We had a future until you started destroying it.Well, you wouldn't have listened otherwise.I always listen to you.Only when it's what you want to hear.Well, all right, Claire. I'm listening now.What is it you so desperately needed to say?We've never lost a race in 30 years.We started here and we've always won.You and I, together.But you are losing, Francis.People are getting killed at the gas pumps.America Works is falling flat.Your campaign manager is ten years behind ten years ago.You don't have a viable running mate.We both know it can't be Donald Blythe.。

"We are citizens of the United States.We have been taken hostage.We will not communicate with the criminal Frank Underwood. We will only communicate with his successor, William Conway. Either you give us what we want or we kill them.Aren't you angry that he stole your presidency?Walker went on record.You and I go on the record, he's done.Transcribe this, right away.He's putting in the article that we threatened to expose them. How did this happen?You're gonna be the next First Lady of the United States.We make it work for us.Fear.Fear.I'm done trying to win over people's hearts.Underwood may be a crook, but he's not a killer.It presumes he's going to die.He is going to die.We don't submit to terror.We make the terror.I've been meaning to talk with you.It's terrifying, isn't it?The president and I have a simple request.Tell us what you see.If anything in your environmentstrikes you as a bit odd, a bit off,pick up the phone.Whether it's a package or a person that seems out of place, we'd love you to let us know.Because there's a lot of noise out there these days.A noisy press that's choosing to dwell on the pastinstead of what's happening right now.My husband and I want to protect you.In two weeks' time, you will be heading to the ballot boxto decide what kind of country you want to live in.It's a profound choice.But no matter who wins this election,we're going to need to work together,watch out for each other,and, yes, watch each other,to keep us all safe and sound.Tell us what you see.My name is Claire Underwood, and I approve this message. Should we do one more?Did the Democrats show?They didn't disappoint. Almost every member, sir.- Almost. - I have a list of those who did.My fellow congressmen, I do not need the Washington Herald to tell me that a scoundrel lives in the White House.I can see the Democrats are here.They're eager to debate.I say to the gentlemen on the other side of the aisle...thank you.Should we investigate the presidentfor crimes committed while he was vice president?I say, yes. Let's debate.Let's debate this miscreant all day and all night.Madam Speaker. Parliamentary inquiry.The gentleman from Georgiamay state the nature of his parliamentary inquiry.Do the rules of the House not requirethe president be formally invited in order to attend?Madam Speaker, if I may...The Speaker recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina.The president is wearing his congressional pin todayand is thereby welcome to any and all proceedings.Madam Speaker! Madam Speaker!Rules of the House statethat former members are not allowed on the floorwhen they have interest in the matter under debate.Madam Speaker,the president has no interestor opinion on the matter being debated today.The House suspend. The House will suspend.Madam Speaker, I still do have the floor,and I find it hard to believethe president wouldn't have an opinion on the matter being discussed.If the good gentleman from Floridawould yield a portion of his time,I assure him it will satisfy his query.I yield three minutes to the leader.And I yield my time to the former congressman from South Carolina and the President of the United States.Point of order! Parliamentary inquiry!Parliamentary inquiry!Parliamentary inquiry!Mr. President. This is beyond the norm.I don't care.I don't care.And I also do not careabout your investigative committees.No, that is not what I care about today.The House will cease.That is not what I care about today.I am on my wayto the funeral of an American patriot.A good man, a husband...a father...who was beheaded on American soil.And this chamberchooses to debate me?- The House will suspend. - I asked to speakto a full session of this chamber and my requests were denied.- Madam Speaker! - Mr. President, you must yield the floor.I will not yield, Madam Speaker.Because I cannot wait.One of the murderers...One of the murderers who killed Mr. Jim Miller...is still out there.At large.How much more proof do you people need?I demand that every member of this House take a stand.Like FDR before, and Wilson before him.I demand that this Congressdeclare a formal declaration of war against ICO,both here and abroad.Motion to adjourn.- Second! - The House will adjourn.- The president will cease. - I will not cease!I will never cease.I demand that this Congress declare a state of warhas existed and does existbetween ICO and the United States of America.And I demand that every member of this House stay in this chamber for as long as it takes,until you bring my request to a vote.Or you will all go down in historyas cowards!Cowards!The sergeant at arms will remove the president.Madam Speaker, I repeat. I demand a vote.I will not yield.I will not yield.I will not yield.Alleged terrorist Zachary Hawthorne was killed by the FBI,but Joshua Masterson is still at large.While the Miller family mourns,the hunt for the missing terrorist continuesand tensions are running high.The president may be asking for war,but it seems war's already been declared on him.My fans.FBI is looking into a multiple shooting in Chattanooga.- Reports have it gang related. - No.A private plane went down in West Virginia. Mechanical failure.A series of homes were set on fire in Georgia,most likely arson.Convenience store in North Carolinaexploded at about 4:00 in the morning.- Where's the store? - Uh, suburb outside of Raleigh.The cause is still under investigation.- I'll make an appearance. - Yes, ma'am.Just put it on the schedule so the media has time to mobilize. Yes, ma'am.I take it the president has declared war on Joshua Masterson.He never should've kicked me off that call.But this morning isn't about politics.That's right.We need to show some compassion for the living.And respect for the dead.The family's agreed to a moment.No press, no speeches, but we should be able to pull something. - Mr. President. - Governor.Do they not realize what we've done for them already?I pointed that out, sir, but...the daughter's medicated and very fragile at the moment.All right.Mrs. Miller.- I'm so very sorry. - Thank you.And I promise you,I will not stopuntil everyone responsible for this terrible tragedyis brought to justice.And I swear to you, as God is my witness...no one will ever harm you or your family ever again.The nation mourns with you and your daughter, Mrs. Miller.- Thank you. If you don't mind... - Of course.Mr. President.I'll be right along.It's a busy day for you today, sir.It's a sad, sad day.It's a shame things didn't turn out differently.Yes. Well, some things are bigger than the two of us, Will.I don't want him here!Calm down, Melissa. Please.It's his fault. He's dead.- Daddy's dead. He killed him. - Please.Give me a minute.- Did you take your medicine? - Yes. Okay?Yes. Yes!You do. You think about what you would say on a day like today. If a day like today were to happen.But you let it pass...because you know you have so much more left ahead of you.So much to do together.You think... You think 40 minutes...If we were late 40 minutes...Or two, or one...Or if we went somewhere else to eat...But to dwell in the past, to live in what-ifs...That wasn't my husband.That wasn't us...- Honey... - Please.Okay. Come on.I need to...I wanted to say about my father...He was so strong... so brave.My father was taking us to...My father...- Come on, baby. It's okay. - My father...You killed my father. You're the reason he died.Melissa...It's all right, Melissa. We understand.I hope you die and she becomes president.What did the girl say to you?She said she hopes I die and that you become the president.Mr. Macallan, this is Deputy Director Michaels from the NSA.I'm literally in your office. I believe we had a meeting.There's been raids as far up as New York and down to the panhandle. As of now,Green's focusing in on theborder between Virginia and North Carolina.Seth has a statement ready for this afternoon.No. The best statement is no statement.Besides, I want Claire to be the voice on thisuntil we're ready.Yes, sir.- Quite a crowd out there. - Well, we better bring Birch in first. Yes, sir.Congressman Birch.Bob.Well, that was a little bit of history this morning, wasn't it?- It certainly was. - I couldn't see it any other way.No disagreement from here.Well, you know how the Republicans are.Anything but a decision.They mistake complaint for leadership.Well, instead of a committee to investigate you,you got one to discuss your declaration.All the way to election day.Even if there's only a handfulof Republicans with the grit and spit to put up a fight,we can control the conversation.Get them talking about anything but that goddamn article.All right. Now, who from our side- do we need to massage? - Womack.The declaration caught him off guard. Had to keep him out of it. It's his constituents that actually fight the damn thing.Well, let's call in the honorable gentleman from Missouri.- Oh, he's a bourbon man, isn't he? - Yes, he is.A stunt. Yes, I'm calling it a stunt.Charlie, if I may...Tom, please, what are you implying?This request for a declaration of war is yet another distraction. And I've never been prouder of the president than I am today.I'm not denying what happened to the Millers. It was a tragedy. No, but you are. Because denying it is the tragedy.This is a pattern.Your husband's administration, Mrs. Underwood,- continues to operate in the shadows. - Tom...I understand you believe in the importance of your article.And I agreed to come here today and talk with you about it.But we're fighting to keep this country safe.Mrs. Underwood,the White House has yet to release one piece of information about the attempted capture of those domestic terrorists.ICO terrorists, yes.Reports from a few hours agoare saying North Carolina or Virginia.But that's all we have.Well, we are circling in, we're getting closer.I will tell you,our intelligence community, they are the real heroes.Charlie, if we could get back to my point, my sources confirmed-- Tom.Heather Dunbar, no friend of mine or my husband's,looked into these charges, and cleared the president.Cleared? Please.The White House has not had a single press briefingsince the Herald ran my article.You keep saying the White House isn't speaking about this.I am sitting right here talking to you.Not Remy Danton or Jackie Sharp.Or Lucas Goodwin, either.- What? - Excuse me. Lucas Goodwin, meaning?I'm saying, me. I'm here.And I don't know how many more times we have to go over this. You know, a Tom Hammerschmidt article used to bethe first thing I would look forwhen I opened the Washington Herald.The Underwoods are no longer campaigning.They can call it what they want.Well, if you think about the last few days, what's in the air...It might not be such a bad idea for us totake it one handshake at a time.Or call it for what it is."Home and abroad."The president is essentially asking for permissionto fight a war on our soil.We can't push back too hard.We can't afford to look soft on terror.We can't look the other way, either.You of all people know where this kind of talk leads....ICO and the United States of America.Make sure the committee dealing with the declaration of war never gets to a vote.We're not against war, we're against his.And I want you to reach out to the Speakerand find out who she's putting on that committee.We need to get back to the president's crimes.That's the story. It's the only story.Anything else?I have my script.I will not yield!I will not...Harry...I want to know what he says and when he says it.Our general isn't used to taking orders.Will, one more thing.- What? - Your wife.Okay, I know we opened up this campaign on Pollyhop, but it might be time to close it down...or at least be more careful.Well, what did they find out?The home of the mother of the terrorist,you know, the one they're looking for,was vandalized last night.Garage set on fire. Broken windows.And, uh, Hannah...well... she posted.She was defending the mother online.- When? - This afternoon.The timing is not good on this.- I can show you. - Not now.Thank you.Governor Conway and I are honored to be herewith the Miller family and their closest friends.I know the VFWwas a big part of Jim's life here in Knoxville.With the help of Homeland and our hotline,we think that Mastersonhas crossed into the southwest corner of Virginia.Scott or Washington.- And? - And...Assistant Director Green?We're relying on aerial support,sightings and local law enforcement.But we're fairly confidentwe can have him pinned down in the next 24 hours.The president wants us to be absolutely sure.We can't have him getting away again. Careers are at stake. Everyone around this tableis fully aware of the gravity of the situation.Good. The president will be happy to hear that.Okay. What kind of kiss do you want?- Eskimo. - In...and out.I'll be right back.- You're angry. - I am.I was asked a question and I answered.That's the least of it.Okay, well, I don't want to talk about it right now.Are you trying to lose this election? Are you?Will, stop it.This woman that you're defending...Her son just cut someone's head off.And he's still out there somewhere.- Do you understand what this looks like? - Stop it.Do you want to know why our son can't sleep?He's eight years old, and he can't sleep.Because he's having nightmares.Because he thinksthere's a big black dog running around the hotel.- Dog? - Yes.He closes his eyes, and he can hear it growling.He's scared, Will.I said what I said because that woman is a victim.We all are.And it has to stop.I want you to win.Get yourself a drink. I'll be right back.That's the mother. And this is Hannah's response.She's not a criminaland should not be punished for the sins of her son.We all, I know, rejectthe rhetoric and actions of these damaged, troubled young men. What I mean is, this is a time for reflection,not aggression...So she's not condoning it, but it is sympathetic.Plays into the idea that Joshua and Zacharywere just a pair of troubled kids looking for a cause,no different than some school shooter.The post has been shared over 100,000 times.I want to talk with her.- Hannah? - The mother.We've been very careful about where you appear.- LeAnn, will you excuse us for a moment? - Of course.We need to dial up the terror.And the mother can help us with that.But that also means we have to locate Masterson.Soon.Tom is waiting for me.Well, you go on.Francis...I shouldn't have cried at the funeral.- No, it played beautifully. - Not for me.Come with me.Come on. Just tell him you'll be late.- Mr. President. - It's all right, Officer.Ma'am.May I have your scope?Scope on your gun. I promise I'll give it back.Thank you. Come here.Now, if you just hold the scope a little a ways from your face... and look down, straight down, across the lawn...right to the gate.You see them?Those people want a voice. Some for, some against.And they're looking back across the lawn,toward this house and these windows...and they're thinking,"I wonder what the presidentand the First Lady are doing tonight.And will they be able to protect us?"I should have been there.Where?When you got shot. I wish I was there.Maybe I could've...protected you.You see, all those people want...is someone to keep them from what they're afraid to know.And what are the president and First Lady doing tonight, Francis? Well, I believe Thomas is waiting for you.Thank you, sir.I'll see you in the morning.Do you have a smoke?Thank you.*I know what my people are thinking tonight**I know what my people are thinking tonight**As home through the shadows they wander**Everyone smiling in secret delight**As they stare at the castle and ponder**And whenever the wind blows this way**You can almost hear everyone say**I wonder what the king is doing tonight*I've been looking for you.I got hungry.So I went down to the main kitchen.That's a lovely group of people you have down there.If there's anything you need, it can be brought up.I didn't know what I needed until I was eating it.I heard the president's declaration.Very compelling.What did you really think?It was almost like the real thing.The NSA has good people. Very good.- Too good. - Not as good as you.Good enough to find my algorithms.That doesn't mean they knew what we were using them for. No, no.One second, they send me home, and then the next,they tell me, "Come back!"They'll been watching me. This is a trap.Or the only way out.God damn it.- You want out? - Don't you?LeAnn...we have done some illegal things here.There are other campaigns.- If you can get into the NSA... - That's not possible. ...into their system, you can fix this.- You're not listening to me. - I am.I know the Underwoods.The only way that we are gonna survive this...is if they win.You can help them win.I know you can.I got on the paper right around the time you left.Did you start in Style?Metro desk.But then I did this piece, a street fashion,kids on the street thing.I'm surprised you asked for me.Some people are being moved around and off the team. The Masterson story. "War, what is it good for?"Were you ever interested in investigative journalism?If you ask me, if it's not investigating, it's not journalism. Word around here is you can get anybody to talk to you. After 8:00, with a drink in their hands...yeah.She's the one they say you called a...you know.I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous.You're sort of a legend and...articles on the president?It'd be an honor to work with you in any capacity.To be part of this.Did you find him? Did you?It'll only be another moment.Because I've done all I can.Everything you told me to. You know that.They know that, don't they?Mrs. Underwood.I was hoping to speak to Ms. Masterson.Just the two of us.Is there a problem?It is a bit extreme.Expanding the no-fly list to this extent.The restrictions on visas alone is unprecedented.How do we justify?The White House counsel's been all through that.It's there in black and white.We're virtually closing down our borders- without any hard evidence to back it up. - It's coming.A lot of innocent people are trying to get into this country. They could be hurt by this.A change in policy this big, I want it done right.I want you to let the world knowthat if they want to continue coming to this countryfor our hospitals, our colleges,our golf courses and God knows what else...they're going to have to delivermore than my head on the end of a burning stick. Now look, Cathy,I know you have well-earned relationships out there. Long-standing.I'm not holding back, Francis. I have reached out. Then I need you to reach further.I want actionable intelligence.I want to know where ICO is, or at the very least, that everyone's out there looking.Are we clear?We're clear.Thank you, Cathy. I know you won't let me down. He's dead.Is that why you're here?We're still looking for him--Because if he's dead, I want to see him. To touch him. - I'm trying to help... - Ms. Masterson,- ...but he hasn't contacted me. - please.I wish he would.I understand. Calm down.He's not a monster like they all say.I lost him somewhere. But he's not...But still, monsters do exist, don't they?I want my lawyer.What for?I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that.I don't know why I say anything anymore.I wanted to see you...to ask you a simple question.Didn't you know what was going on in your home?- Excuse me? - You knew...even before he went to Pakistan.- I mean, you raised him. - No.No. He had some problems. He got lost.But no, nothing like this.But you saw what he did, didn't you?- No. - Would you like to see it?We can show it to you, if you like.No. Please don't.What he did to that family, to that man...What sort of person would do such a thing?He's my son.Oh, God.I know. It's awful, isn't it?Thank you.When you leave today,there will be some reporters, some cameramen out there. But you don't need to say very much.You just need to ask Josh to turn himself in.There are so many hardworking mothers and fathers out there. This could've happened to any of them.We are close to capturing your son, Ms. Masterson,and I will do my best to have you see him.I want to go.No one's keeping you.But who did she put in?Who did the Speaker put on the committee?Mostly lifers, with secure seats.We're two weeks out. It's hard to say no to war.You and I have some things in common.- We both dislike the president. - No. I'm still a Democrat. Who leans to the right.Alex, you do actually lean a little to the right.Look, he's the commander in chief.He's got all the authority he needs to fight them where they are. Well, there's one here. Out there, right now, as we speak. Well, I'm a big fan of American law enforcement.They'll find him soon enough.We can't just let Francis Underwood turn us into a nationthat's always looking over their shoulder.If you can get yourself onto that committee,I got a feeling the Chair will give you all the time you need. My driver will take you back to your car. But, Congressman... this is your chance.And I think you know it.Thank you so much for coming out here.Thank you so much for coming out.Great to see you. Thanks for coming out.Just go away!You have no idea what is happening in your own homes.Have you any idea where he is, Mrs. Masterson?Josh, please...please, please turn yourself in.This has all got to stop. No, no....this after ten years with Treasury, he was waiting for it. Yeah...Mrs. Underwood!Mrs. Underwood!Mrs. Underwood!Does the administration believe that the explosion was connected - with Joshua Masterson somehow? - We're not sure yet.Uh, there is strong evidence to suggest.The owner of the establishment was foreign-born.Any connection to ICO overseas?I think our Deputy DirectorClark here is better equipped to answer that.We're looking into it. In the meantime, we've set up a hotline.If anyone in the community- has any-- - And if the Republican candidateand the rest of his party refuse to acknowledgethe seriousness of the threat made here at home...know that we will.The FBI is currently gathering a list of words and images. If they appear on your children'sor your coworkers' devices, please--War whore!- Move! - Car!It was just paint. She's all right.And what else? Spit it out, Doug. It won't taste so bad. Sir, I know you disagree with me on this.But Director Green and his teamhave a location for the takedown and they're ready to act. And they're positive it's the right location?- Adamant. - When?Hours.We can coordinate out of the Situation Room.Oh, no. I'm gonna meet him in person.Sir, I strongly advise against that.Duly noted, but I'll be on-site.Yes, sir.It's amazing how ready people are to be afraid.History would prove them right.You're lucky this is coming off with water.Could've been worse.Some found its way behind your ear.- Should I be afraid? - Don't be smart.I should, shouldn't I?I stole something from you.What?What it is, doesn't matter.I just wanted something that was yours.Well, put it back.Waterfalls.The NSA marked their zero-day exploits as waterfalls. What can they get us into?We can backdoor into some very popular social media.I can insert anything your imagination can think ofinto those sites.Underwoods or otherwise....reports coming in from a variety of sourcesstating that local police enforcement and FBI agentsare currently on the ground.We're receiving reports thatthere's a great deal of police activity on the Virginia border. We cannot confirm at this time,but we believe this is connected to the manhuntfor domestic terrorist Joshua Masterson.The capture of Joshua Masterson may be close at hand. The FBI is still not commenting,but if you look at this aerial view,you can see heavily-armed menmaking their way through this wooded area.Sir, he's not here.All we have are some loose domestic connections.A perverse idolization of ICO overseas.He refuses to confirm any wide-ranging homegrown network. Our interrogators are confident the asset is no longer valuable. And risk to reward no longer tenable.Sir, we have reached a breaking point.Did you think I didn't already have him?That I would have left him out there somewhere?And I thought you knew me.Josh.Joshua.Do you want to live?Tell us what we want.Tell us what we want to hear.You're no martyr, are you?Look at you.No, you're not a martyr.No one will remember what you've done,either here on Earth or in your heaven.So why did you pick the Millers?Why?What did you see?Was it the girl?Did you see her first?What did you see?Or did she see you first?Yeah, that's it, isn't it? She saw you.She looked right through you, didn't she?I don't need to see this person anymore.- Get rid of the asset. - Sir.He's an animal, but he's still an American citizen.We are at war. And he is an enemy combatant.And he lost whatever rights he might have had as an American when he cut that poor man's head off.So don't give me your pride or your position.Because none of this would have happenedif you'd done what you were told in the first place.I'll take care of it.Yes, you will, and you will do so willingly.And I want you to get some good, usable footage...of his killing.And then destroy everything else.We will be releasing footage of Joshua Masterson's killing. The administration and the intelligence communitywere hoping to take him alive.But I would like to commendAssistant Director of Counterterrorism, Nathan Green.And of course all of the workthat Secretary Durant has done behind the scenes on all of this. The information the investigation has gathered so farpoints to Joshua Masterson and Zachary Hawthornehaving strong connections to ICO abroad。

Kentucky, you have 53 votes.How do you cast them?Madam Secretary,as a senator for the great Commonwealth of Kentucky,I'm proud to speak on behalf of the delegation's chair.The Commonwealth of Kentucky,home of the Derby, the Wildcats,and the birthplace of bourbon,for Vice President of the United States,casts 13 votes for Secretary of State Catherine Durant...11 for Senator Joseph Baker of Nevada,9 for Governor Randall Smith of West Virginia,7 apiece for Governor Jill Haley of Floridaand Congresswoman Sharon Pierce of California,5 for one of our own, the Mayor of Louisville, Jill Carson... and 1 vote for the First Lady of these United States, Mrs. Claire Underwood.Louisiana, you have 61 votes.How do you cast them?Isn't this exciting? You can feel the electricity.Been a very long time since an open convention.I'm surprised you didn't get a few votes yourself, Senator. I'm not running for vice president.Neither is Claire Underwood and she got one.That was my vote.Trying to throw some levity into the proceedings, sir?Hell, no! I think she'd make a terrific vice president.Mrs. Underwood! Mrs. Underwood!A couple of questions, Mrs. Underwood, if you have a moment? Yes, I only have time for a few.Welcome to Atlanta, Mrs. Underwood.Thank you.Can you comment on Senator Sheer's vote?Well, I am flattered. But it's all in good fun, I'm sure.Mrs. Underwood, he says he'll vote for you again.Well, I am encouraging everyone, including Senator Sheer,to vote for Cathy Durant.Both the president and Ithink she is the best choice in the field.You changed everything we wrote.There was no imagination to it. No rhythm.We've been writing their speeches since they took office.We know what we're doing.Well, do you want it to be good, or do you want it to be yours? The vote I'm most excited aboutis the victory ourBackground Check Legislation got in the House yesterday.So I'm hoping that the Senate will follow their lead soon,and that the president can sign it into law.I have to go. Thank you so much.Thank you... for inviting us.No.It's me who has to thank you and your son.He saved my life.No matter how tragic the circumstances.I want you to meet some of the other recipients.This is James...who received one of your son's kidneys.And this is Luisa...who received your son's heart.Luisa was at the top of the list.She was hours away from dying.Uh, if we could, let's all get together for a photo.James? Right here.- You come right here. - Okay.All right.This way. Great.The president isn't shying away from, uh, his transplant. Well, I think it's a smart move.You can't deny it, so why try to hide it?Plus, I think it underscores the importanceof the vice presidential situation.Wait, rolling out the donor's mom? That feels a bit exploitative.I... Look, hold on.A little bit of compassion, the kid just shot himself.And with a handgun, no less.Legally purchased. Let's not put this on the gun.Look, I am sorry, all of this, the whole thing,the convention... It's theatrics.Hey, look, I... bring on the circus.It's a lot more fun than some four-day infomercial.Let's talk about the contenders themselves.There's almost a dozen of 'em.- Can you, uh, lower that, please? - ...really have a chance. Durant, first among 'em.It's 11:00 in the morning, day one,and they're beating Ellen.Less traffic on the website, too.People aren't watching the videos as much.This sold over a million copies.Five times that many read it online.Yeah, well, that was last month. This is this month.We announce a stellar running mate.He eviscerates Underwood on ICO.We have not one, but twoVanity Fair covers that Pollyhop's pushing,and all you give me is excuses.The point was for us to drown out their convention,not the other way around. We need to steal the thunder back. So go where the thunder is.I've been one heartbeat away for almost two years.My heart's not in it anymore.I'm going to head back to Vermont after November. Maybe start teaching again.Who are you supporting, then?On the record, Cathy Durant.And off the record?I'm not the biggest fan.Why?She wasn't much help during the Russia crisis.She closed the deal with Petrov.She took credit for it, sure.But she fought the deal every step of the way.Nothing would've happened if it weren't for Claire.The First Lady?The former ambassador.We're closer in Kansas, but still not close enough.Did you speak to Jefferieswhen you were there for the House vote?He's leaning on Fred Simms.If Simms could deliver two or three delegates--That could push Kansas over the edge.I can call Womack.He's got some friends over the border.- What about Pawley? - Pawley?Sheriff Pawley in Fort Worth, old family friend of my dad's. He's close with some superdelegates from Dallas.Yes, he's on board.Gotta love those sheriffs.That's how we do in Louisiana.What about Enright?I'm meeting him for coffee at the Hyatt.In fact, I better get going. I don't wanna be late.Now, if we could lock up Virginia--It would send a very big message.And then Kentucky next.He's got a big old crush on you.We better get you on a move.Enright is a stickler for punctuality.You know, I'm having fun. I forgot how much I miss being whip. You whip 'em. I'll sweet talk 'em.Nothing like leather and sugar.Sir?Senator Sheer.Senator, you did a fine job.Yeah, I better get prime time,not one of these midmorning speeches.Eight o'clock, Wednesday night. I called Patti myself.Do you know the main thing that separatesa politician from the rest of the species?A politician is the one who would drown a litter of kittensfor ten minutes of prime time.Secretary Durant. Editor in chief, Politico.It's all right.Adam, are you covering this yourself?First open one since '68.It's humid as hell, though.I just got here and I'm already soaked.On the plus side,I hear they have the best strip clubs in the country.Can I ask you a couple questions?- Well, I'm in a hurry. - Just a couple.Nothing on the record.Tell me about the rumorsregarding the deal you struck with Petrov in Brandenburg. What rumors?That it was the First Lady who brokered the deal, not you. It was a team effort. Who is your source?I can't. You know that.Well, I'm afraid that's all the time I've got.Have a good trip, Adam.The president was on site this morning for a press briefing at the Truxton Marquis with Karen Williams,the mother of Daniel Williams,the organ donor who provided his liver.Alongside him were all of the donor organs' recipients. Ms. Williams took time to speak with each recipient whose life was saved in the wake of her son's passing. The president used this solemn eventto express his gratitude for those who share their livesfor the health and welfare of others,whether through organ donation or through their work.The president's condition has improved dramaticallysince his organ donation.The entire country was on edgethroughout his time in the hospital.Sixteen-year-old Daniel,who saved President Underwood from his health crisis,left this world bygiving back to so many others he never expected to touch. Lasting tributes like this will not be forgotten.Currently, there are more than 122,000 men,women and childrenseeking an organ transplant each year,most common needs being the kidney, liver, and heart.And while the number of donors has increased over the years, recipients are still in for a long, potentially fatal waiting period before a healthy, matching organ becomes available. Waiting lists for these types of transplantscan last from days to months on end.Although President Underwood's critical conditionpushed him to the top of the donor list,he was fortunate to have received a donation in time.Many status one, or most in-need patientsdo not receive a transplant in time to save their lives. Tennessee! You have 77 votes.How do you cast them?From the Volunteer State...From the Volunteer State...the president will be with you in a moment....we cast 73 votes for vice presidentto Secretary Catherine Durant,and four votes to Senator Joseph Baker.- Cathy! - The meeting with Enright went well.I put a call into him afterwards. He said you charmed him.- That puts us where? - Nine-forty-nine.We won't make this ballot, but we're getting close.Next one. I'm sure of it.Let's talk once we get the final numbers.Will do. Bye.Texas, you have 237 votes.Do you have my call list for tonight?How do you cast them?Madam Secretary, my name is Ruiz Trejo.I see. Uh, I ran into Giovanni in the elevator.You can cross him off.And cross off Milford.She said she's gonna back Baker till the bitter end.We cast all of our votes to our native daughter,the First Lady,and the future Vice President of the United States of America, Claire Underwood.Thank you, Texas. And thank...All 237? Nice.My mother brought the hammer down on the holdouts.I just emailed you my donor lists for Austin and Houston. Should be at least two million in the bank.- Ms. Jones. - Oh, that's great.Oh, I gotta go. The cameras are here.Ms. Jones, the entire state for the First Lady.Will you comment?I think our unanimous vote is all the commentary you need. Now, the president endorsed your race, uh,your mother's vacant seat, uh, during the State of the Union. He sure did, and I'm proud to be the front-runner.Did that endorsement have anything to dowith your support of the First Lady?Look, I won't deny that the Underwoods have been good to me. But no. They asked me to vote for Catherine Durant. And while I think Secretary Durantwould be a wonderful woman for the job,I think Claire is the best woman for the job.Well, I really appreciate it, Diane,and I know Cathy will as well.All right, we'll speak soon.New draft.LeAnn wanted me to work in some phrases...and keyword amplifiers.All I'm asking is that you make the call.He'll listen if it comes from you.It seems very clunky.I agree.Is there a way to...put in what she wants and make it...- more elegant? - He's still pissed aboutthat limp-dick defense bill I killed when I was whip... Maybe... but I have my limitations.Well, you don't have much faith in her analytics, I don't think. It's paint by numbers.Yes, well, she also saysthat you've been alienating some of the other speechwriters. Eh, well, their mediocrity is what's alienating them.I'm allergic to it.- I work better alone. - Let me speak to Bryceand then see what I can do.That's right. WestCAM should do it.Well, tonight if you can.The morning is fine if you can't...I have to go. Let's discuss the speech later.Yeah, all I need is just three more from your stateand we've got it.Yes, just a... just a few more.Like, three.Yes, and so do I. I'll talk to you tomorrow.Good night.Tom.I feel like we haven't even had a chance to say hellosince you came on board.You're a busy man.I don't know the opposite.It has its upsides. Like sleep.And friends.How's the, uh...You know, if it weren't for the pills,I could go through entire days without even thinking about it.I wonder what that kid would think...if he knew that part of him was inside of the president's body. Tragic, huh?But, then again,one man's tragedy is another man's treasure,- isn't that right? - Trash.What?"One man's trash." That's how the saying goes.Oh, right.How's the speech coming?Well, this is for the introduction to your acceptance speech, but... shouldn't it be for her own acceptance?You want Claire to win, not Durant.A First Lady as the...That's ludicrous.I don't think so.And I don't think you do either.Maybe I'm wrong.But if I'm right...she's gonna need the speech to end all speeches.And it would be good for me to know that.I have some more work to do.Governor! How are you?Yeah, well, I wish I was in Oregon, too,but I'm here in Atlantawhere it's muggier than a street hooker's twat.I am honored to be mentionedwith Secretary Durant and Senator Baker.They're seasoned politicians.But I already have a job,First Lady of the United States.Well, Texas is over 5% of the vote.And my home state, so let's not make more of it than it is. Claire!Congratulations. I think you're in fifth place now. Yeah, with you in first, where you should be. Secretary Durant, do you think the First Lady has a shot?I think Texas just gave her one.Kidding aside, do you thinkshe has the foreign policy experience?It's beside the point. And like I said this morning,I encourage everyone, including Texas,to vote for Secretary Durant.Mrs. Underwood--You know what, if you'll excuse me,I want to get back to the phones,make sure Cathy gets this nomination.- Thank you. - May I have a moment?Oh, of course.Did anyone ask you about Brandenburgor any of your people and your involvement there? Brandenburg?No, we put that to bed.That's what I thought,which is why I was surprised when Adam Gould told me that he had sources saying you deserved all the credit. We all agreed to what our version of the story is,so somebody isn't toeing the line.Well, I'm sure it's not White House staff.I bet he's just fishing, trying to start some rivalry. Well, I'd be grateful, if he asks you, or anyone else--Of course. And I've been sticking to our story...which it was you that got the Russians to back down, and I was just there to support you.That wouldn't look good to the delegates,the fact that you met with Petrov without me.It would look like I wasn't in command of--No one needs to know what we discussed.You have nothing to worry about, Cathy. Honestly.Well, yeah. I can get you on the phonewith the Secretary of Agriculture,but if you want drought relief,I'm gonna need more than just Stevens and Lopez. Has anything been set up with Baker yet? Tomorrow morning, in his room.Well, that's cutting it close.He's at a big dinner withthe Florida congressional delegation tonight. Well, all right, and call me back.The rumors have gotten to Cathy.Well, we did want them to spread. That was the idea.I think one of us needs to speak with her.Yeah, but the plan was to wait till it was inevitable. If we don't involve her sooner than later, Francis, she could turn on us.All right, you take your meeting with Baker.- I'll talk to Cathy. You set that up. - Yes, sir.How much are you going to say?Just enough to prepare her.A lot of calls about Mrs. Underwood in Russia. Denying?Ignoring, which is the same as confirming.- Good. - Claire in there?She's speaking privately with the president.Oh, I'm sure she won't mind.Where are we with LeAnn?- She's clean. - No.I refuse to believe that.Doug, if our campaign manager bites the dust,that hurts us.I gave you a task.And I'll keep at it.Nice coverage on the liver thing this morning.I emailed you some links.Boys are older now, both married.Got a third grandkid on the way.We don't get out to the lake much these days. Washington takes its toll.It sure does.I've made a lot of sacrifices over the years, Mrs. Underwood. Time with my boys, that's a big one.Who knows if I'll win, but I'm in the mix.And I can't sacrifice this opportunityto pave the way for Cathy Durant.You won't win, Senator. We both know that.But I can't help her.Now, I realize you two don't get along.She despises me.And I have to say, the feeling is mutual.- Well, listen-- - The moment she became Secretary of State, she got the Republicans toremove me from the Foreign Relations Committee.And Francis was very upset about that.But that was the past.Let's talk about the future.This support for Claire, it's caught us both off guard.But you are my choice for vice president.Nothing has changed on that front.Well, my only concern are the rumors.They could damage my chances.Yes. And we'll do what we can to combat those.That's what Claire said, too, and it's much appreciated.But, if, and-- Oh, God, it's a big if.But what if...support for Claire picks up steam...Well, you don't actually think that will happen?Oh, no. I mean, a First Lady as VP?No.The party wants someone with experience, and so does the country. Absolutely.But... it is an open convention,and so we have to operatewith the belief that anything could happen.I mean, the press is certainly enjoying imagining it.Well, sure. It makes for a good story.Yeah, and it's the kind of coverage that we can't really control. You know, I mean,these things have a way of taking on a life of their own.Like the Zoe Barnes storydid about my nomination for Secretary of State.Except that one we planted.- And this one you didn't. - No, absolutely not!I mean, Claire was mortified by those votes.What you're saying is if the coverage influences enough people... Well, we have to be prepared for that.I mean...of course, politically, it would be a disaster.Maybe, maybe not.You don't think so?Well, personally, I think Claire would do an excellent job. Well, I am very surprised to hear you say that.You don't believe she would?Well, I've just never really considered it.The First Lady? As vice president?Well, 251 delegates think it's a good idea.Well, most of those were from Texas, which was a lark.Was it?I have as many delegates as you do, Senator.- But if you start pushing yours my way... - You double.And take the lead.- And then Cathy puts you over the top. - That's the idea.So she's in on this?She will be.Well, let's say Claire does take the lead,however unlikely that may be...- Very unlikely, I would say. - Well, let's say she does. What do you propose?I honestly don't know.Well, you'd have to support her, wouldn't you?You can't abandon your own wife.Uh, true, but I can't abandon you either.Well, if she took the lead,I suppose I'd have to support her, too.No, I would never ask you to do that.But you don't have to ask. We're on the same team here. Well, to be perfectly blunt...what's in it for me?What would it take?You're doing the selling. Make me an offer.Let's say Claire gets it.I assume I stay on, if you get the general.Oh, absolutely.I cannot imagine the nextfour years without you being my Secretary of......State.You'd give me Cathy's job?We're prepared to.- Doug. - Madam Secretary.We have an issue, sir.When I first warned the president that ICO would grow,and grow quickly, he did nothing.Yesterday, the leaders of ICO sent out this tweet."As Suwar is ours.Soon heads will roll into the Euphrates."That wasn't just in Arabic, that was in English,and sent out in 16 other languages.They're media savvy, they're recruiting around the globe. They have the money and the manpower now.Once they get to the Euphrates,they'll have a choke hold on northern Syria.We must act, Mr. President, and we must act now. Normally, there's a tradition of sportsmanshipwhen it comes to conventions.One candidate lays lowso the other gets his or her moment in the spotlight.But not only is the presidentignoring a great threat to the world's security,he's insulted the one man who stood up and spoke out for us all. When this profile came outabout everything the general just mentioned,the White House said that he was politicizing terrorism.And when I announced that General Brockhartwas going to be my running mate,the president's campaign said, and I quote,"It's a shame the general traded in patriotism for careerism."Now, I don't call that very sportsmanlike.I call it disgraceful.How many wars has the president fought for his country?I think we all know, none.And he questions the patriotism of a man who has fought in many? You hear me, Mr. President.I demand that you do something about ICO.And I demand that you make an apology to the general.And we're not leaving Atlanta until you've done both.Live on every network right now.I gotta hand it to him.I wonder if this was his idea,'cause it's almost something like I would do.We ignore him. It's 95 degrees. Let him sweat it out.I think the longer we ignore him, the more attention they'll get.I agree with LeAnn.So apologize.It's only pride.I can do it if you want, sir.I wrote the statement.No, it only works if it comes from Francis.Claire's right.And we can do more than just apologize.I can meet with the bastard.The issues the governor and the general raise are important ones. They transcend party affiliations and, quite frankly, politics.And so in that spirit, I'm inviting the governorto come here and join me,so that we can have a conversation privately because... whoever becomes the president is going to have to deal with ICO and all of the other terrorist threats that we face around the globe. So I'm looking forward to hearingwhatever ideas and solutions that they may have...because a smart president will steal good ideas from anyone.Let's kill them with kindness, shall we?- Governor. - Mr. President.Would you please put the General on the line?Sir?General...your service to this country is greatly valuedand your patriotism is without doubt.And in the heat of the campaign, well, we went too far.We issued statements that we shouldn't have,and for that I want to apologize,and I do hope that you will accept it.Far more important to me than an apologyis eliminating ICO, Mr. President.I couldn't agree with your more, General.If you'd be so kind as to put the Governor back on the phone.I received your invitation, Mr. President.And will you join us, Governor?Only if it leads to real action, not just talk.I can promise you, Governor,and the rest of America that it will not just be talk.Then, yes. If it truly leads to securing our freedom.Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you.Thank you all very much.Right this way, Governor.Do you think this a good idea?What choice do I have? He called my bluff.Welcome, Governor.Thank you, Mr. President.I have a room set up for us.Here.Have some lunch.We've got ham, and I think some turkey.I'm good, but thanks.Really?After the stunt you just pulled, I would've thought you love ham. You put this here on purpose.Well, a little reading material, you know.Something to pass the time.I just got a text from Ben Grantsaying searches for this issue isgoing through the roof since we showed up here.Ben Grant owns Pollyhop...That's right.And you own Ben Grant.Isn't that what power is? The people you collect?You really screwed me with that webcast.I had everything all planned out.The Federal Election Commission, the Department of Justice.I was looking forward to watching you go down in flames... maybe even behind bars.Well, I'm sorry I ruined your fun.It's a bit embarrassing, though, isn't it?I mean, sharing all your most intimate moments?Videos of your children?I'm proud of my family. Why would I be embarrassed? Well, just that you have to stoop so low to win everyone's love. It feels a bit desperate, doesn't it?You're 15 points behind in every poll.So, if anyone's desperate, it should be you.Well, the key to being Presidentis not only winning your battles,it's winning them with dignity.Should we talk about ICO?Oh, God. Why would we want to do that?It's why we're meeting.Oh, right."Real talk, real action."That's what you're all about, isn't it?Well, I suppose we could if you want to, but...then again we could just take a break from it alland relax a bit.God.This turkey tastes like rubber.Well, it's better than eating a real one.Oh, I always wear protectionwhen I'm getting my dick sucked by the Democrats.You okay?I'm fine. I'm fine.Don't make me laugh when I'm eating. I nearly choked to death. Well, that is one way for me to become president.- Here you go. - Thank you.- You okay? - Oh, yeah.Do you mind if I take these off?They're brand new and I'm still breaking 'em in.You like to play video games, right?Now, how did you hear about that?Tom Yates.Oh, yes.Tom Yates.That's one person you weren't able to collect, were you?What did you do to get him back?Oh, look, I'm sure he was tempted.He is a fiction writer, after all.You're a New York Republican.That's an attractive fiction, isn't it?And you're a Democrat from South Carolina,that's even bigger fiction.Well, there you go.And I'm a New York Republican, which is basically a Democrat. If you were a Democrat, you'd be unstoppable.You'd be the new JFK.And if you were a Republican, who'd you be? Nixon?Nixon was a far more effective president.The only reason people glorify Kennedy is because he got shot. Well, you've got that going for you, too, now, don't you?And you've got your search engineand all your little home videos.See, if people want a piece of you...you give it to them, right?Oh, is that what people want?A piece of you?Do you play video games?No. My kids do.There's this one game that my son Charlie, he loves to play.It's called Agar.Io.I have to admit, I might have played it a couple of times myself. You start out as a little dot.And then you go aroundeating these other dots and you get bigger.And the bigger you get,you gotta avoid getting eaten by the bigger players. Meanwhile, you're trying to eat the smaller players.。
