1
00:00:00,108 --> 00:00:03,486
[Walker] Raising the age of
retirement is an unacceptable erosion
2
00:00:03,487 --> 00:00:05,571
of the American dream.
3
00:00:05,572 --> 00:00:08,700
If the Republicans fail to pass
a reasonable omnibus package
4
00:00:08,701 --> 00:00:11,118
by demanding entitlement reform,
5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,956
they will force the federal
government into a spending freeze.
6
00:00:13,957 --> 00:00:18,208
The frostbite will be
on their hands, not ours.
7
00:00:18,209 --> 00:00:20,627
Do you think that's a bit much?
The frostbite bit?
8
00:00:20,628 --> 00:00:23,755
It's the State of the Union. We
want to appeal to fly-over states.
9
00:00:23,756 --> 00:00:26,591
- They'll like that line.
- I want something more forceful.
10
00:00:26,592 --> 00:00:28,635
- [man] "Blood on their hands"?
- [Walker] No.
11
00:00:28,636 --> 00:00:31,431
- "Throw us back into the ice age."
- Oh, I like that, Christina.
12
00:00:31,432 --> 00:00:35,559
Let's try that. Linda.
Christina, you come up here too.
13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,687
[indistinct chatter]
14
00:00:45,278 --> 00:00:49,532
There are two types of vice
presidents: doormats and matadors.
15
00:00:49,533 --> 00:00:53,327
Which do you think
I intend to be?
16
00:00:53,328 --> 00:00:54,830
Raymond.
17
00:00:57,874 --> 00:01:02,670
He's hung up on the domestic agenda.
Not a single word about China.
18
00:01:02,671 --> 00:01:06,213
His instincts are right. If the government
shuts down one day after the speech,
19
00:01:06,214 --> 00:01:09,467
not a single word in the speech matters.
We have to address the freeze now.
20
00:01:09,468 --> 00:01:13,013
- China comes later.
- Both parties have been wrangling
21
00:01:13,014 --> 00:01:15,431
over entitlements for months.
What makes you think
22
00:01:15,432 --> 00:01:18,561
a miracle's gonna happen
in the next three days?
23
00:01:18,562 --> 00:01:23,107
We give the Republicans
exactly what they want.
24
00:01:23,108 --> 00:01:25,151
- Retirement age?
- Yes.
25
00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:28,821
[scoffs] That's a line in
the sand we cannot cross.
26
00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:32,115
We will cross it, eventually.
So why keep fighting it?
27
00:01:32,116 --> 00:01:36,369
I can push this through the Senate, and
once I do, the president will announce
28
00:01:36,370 --> 00:01:40,040
a major bipartisan agreement
in the State of the Union.
29
00:01:40,041 --> 00:01:43,545
We avoid a government shutdown
and the White House gets credit.
30
00:01:43,546 --> 00:01:47,673
It's a huge risk, and if it
fails, a huge embarrassment.
31
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:51,260
The embarrassment will be entirely my own.
This is on my shoulders.
32
00:01:51,261 --> 00:01:56,305
Even so, the president is gonna
require some serious persuasion.
33
00:01:56,306 --> 00:01:59,852
- I'm happy to talk to him.
- No.
34
00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:03,522
No... I'll do it.
35
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:07,234
He'll be more amenable
if it comes from a friend.
36
00:02:07,235 --> 00:02:10,071
You're right.
A trusted confidant.
37
00:02:10,072 --> 00:02:12,490
Let me test the waters.
38
00:02:14,576 --> 00:02:18,579
The Cult of Tusk.
Membership: one.
39
00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:21,041
But that one disciple
just so happens to be
40
00:02:21,042 --> 00:02:25,754
the most powerful man
in the free world. For now.
41
00:03:52,895 --> 00:03:56,156
Sync and corrections by n17t01
www.addic7ed.com
42
00:04:04,435 --> 00:04:07,895
[Frank] Entitlements. Raising
the age of eligibility to 67.
43
00:04:07,896 --> 00:04:09,396
Your people will
never go for it.
44
00:04:09,397 --> 00:04:10,898
[Frank] They will if the
leadership does,
45
00:04:10,899 --> 00:04:12,441
and the leadership will.
46
00:04:12,442 --> 00:04:14,443
They've fought us on this
since I was in diapers.
47
00:04:14,444 --> 00:04:17,614
Assuming that I can get this past
my people and convince them,
48
00:04:17,615 --> 00:04:20,783
- can you convince yours?
- It's a tough sell.
49
00:04:20,784 --> 00:04:25,121
You're the Senate majority leader, Hector.
You don't have to sell, you can dictate.
50
00:04:25,122 --> 00:04:27,414
- What do you want in return?
- A working government.
51
00:04:27,415 --> 00:04:29,876
- We stave off the freeze.
- You won on education,
52
00:04:29,877 --> 00:04:31,961
we confirmed you
as vice president.
53
00:04:31,962 --> 00:04:34,629
- The Republicans need a win, Frank.
- And that's what I'm offering.
54
00:04:34,630 --> 00:04:37,135
You get a win on entitlements,
we avoid a shutdown.
55
00:04:37,136 --> 00:04:40,470
Everyone gets points
for bipartisanship.
56
00:04:40,471 --> 00:04:43,556
- You know who I'm worried about?
- Curtis Haas.
57
00:04:43,557 --> 00:04:46,809
- He's a troublemaker, Frank.
- Who controls a third of your caucus.
58
00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:49,940
And he'll never go for this. He
wants to see the Democrats suffer.
59
00:04:49,941 --> 00:04:53,944
Just bring him to the table.
That's all I'm asking.
60
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,702
Miss Gallagher?
My name is Lucas Goodwin,
61
00:05:04,703 --> 00:05:06,746
I'm a deputy editor
of the Washington Herald.
62
00:05:06,747 --> 00:05:08,581
- Mr. Goodwin, please.
- Just a few moments,
63
00:05:08,582 --> 00:05:11,042
- that's all I'm asking.
- If I wanted to talk to you,
64
00:05:11,043 --> 00:05:13,127
- I would've returned your calls.
- Did you read my e-mails?
65
00:05:13,128 --> 00:05:14,879
Yes. Which is
why I didn't call.
66
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,381
Give me a chance
to walk you through it.
67
00:05:16,382 --> 00:05:18,007
I have to get back
to the White House.
68
00:05:18,008 --> 00:05:19,592
- Peter Russo was killed.
- Let go.
69
00:05:19,593 --> 00:05:21,468
So was Zoe Barnes.
I was working with her.
70
00:05:21,469 --> 00:05:23,264
- Stop and listen.
- Frank Underwood is the one who did this.
71
00:05:23,265 --> 00:05:25,766
Listen! This is nuts.
72
00:05:25,767 --> 00:05:28,642
- The DUI, the brachiums. All of it...
- This has to stop. OK?
73
00:05:28,643 --> 00:05:30,978
Underwood talk to you? Tell you
not to speak with anybody?
74
00:05:30,979 --> 00:05:32,105
- No.
- Doug Stamper?
75
00:05:32,106 --> 00:05:33,564
Whatever you think happened,
76
00:05:33,565 --> 00:05:35,524
whatever compelled you
to stalk me like this--
77
00:05:35,525 --> 00:05:37,151
You're the only person
who might know something,
78
00:05:37,152 --> 00:05:38,403
who could understand.
79
00:05:38,404 --> 00:05:40,282
I've got no one else
I can talk--
80
00:05:40,283 --> 00:05:43,617
I don't understand.
And I don't want to. OK?
81
00:05:43,618 --> 00:05:46,119
- There's no story here.
- Please, five minutes.
82
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,954
Think about what you're doing.
Waiting outside--
83
00:05:47,955 --> 00:05:50,583
Peter would be alive if it
wasn't for Frank Underwood.
84
00:05:52,501 --> 00:05:55,753
I've worked really hard
to put Peter behind me.
85
00:05:55,754 --> 00:06:00,133
So if I see you again, if I hear from you
again, I'll not only contact the police,
86
00:06:00,134 --> 00:06:02,260
I'll let the vice president
know what you're saying,
87
00:06:02,261 --> 00:06:05,348
and then you can deal
with the Secret Service, too.
88
00:06:06,891 --> 00:06:08,682
[man] It's the usual
overseas chatter.
89
00:06:08,683 --> 00:06:10,351
A bit of a bump in China,
90
00:06:10,352 --> 00:06:12,645
but we chalk that up
to the trade tensions.
91
00:06:12,646 --> 00:06:15,275
- Secret Service?
- Average number of death threats
92
00:06:15,276 --> 00:06:16,984
to both POTUS and the VP.
93
00:06:16,985 --> 00:06:19,446
We passed them along
to our dear friends at the FBI.
94
00:06:19,447 --> 00:06:21,989
- [laughter]
- FBI?
95
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:23,739
The FBI confirms the level
96
00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:26,742
of activity of our dear friends
at the Secret Service.
97
00:06:26,743 --> 00:06:29,912
We've followed up on everything.
No high-level threats.
98
00:06:29,913 --> 00:06:33,168
So nothing we need to report directly
to the president or vice president?
99
00:06:33,169 --> 00:06:35,544
- No.
- Thank you, gentlemen.
100
00:06:38,714 --> 00:06:41,299
The e-mail you sent,
has anyone else seen it?
101
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:43,550
Except for the agent
that alerted me, no.
102
00:06:43,551 --> 00:06:46,179
Other agencies might
have stumbled upon this.
103
00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:47,763
Even so, they
probably ignored it.
104
00:06:47,764 --> 00:06:49,849
Any idea who's
making the posts?
105
00:06:49,850 --> 00:06:52,477
Deep Web forums. Almost impossible to trace.
Lone wolf, most likely.
106
00:06:52,478 --> 00:06:56,647
- I want you to find him.
- We need a direct threat to life.
107
00:06:56,648 --> 00:06:58,732
The vice president
just assumed office.
108
00:06:58,733 --> 00:07:01,568
I can't have this conspiracy
stuff going mainstream.
109
00:07:01,569 --> 00:07:04,822
- This sort of thing usually fizzles out.
- I can't take the chance.
110
00:07:04,823 --> 00:07:07,285
I want you to find him
and put him away.
111
00:07:07,286 --> 00:07:10,871
- He hasn't committed a crime.
- But he wants to.
112
00:07:10,872 --> 00:07:13,956
- So help him.
- That requires manpower.
113
00:07:13,957 --> 00:07:17,752
- You've got men.
- It exposes me, Doug.
114
00:07:17,753 --> 00:07:21,549
I've always kept you informed because
you're an old pal and I trust you.
115
00:07:21,550 --> 00:07:23,218
But...
116
00:07:25,761 --> 00:07:27,638
We're talking
about an operation.
117
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:31,434
I'm an old pal who now works
at the White House.
118
00:07:33,353 --> 00:07:35,770
Between old pals,
119
00:07:35,771 --> 00:07:39,901
I've been stuck as the executive
liaison for way too long.
120
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:44,780
How worried are you that a mass
shooting could happen in a school
121
00:07:44,781 --> 00:07:50,160
in your community? Great deal, somewhat,
not so much, not at all, unsure.
122
00:07:50,161 --> 00:07:52,997
[man on phone]
You sound hot. Are you hot?
123
00:07:52,998 --> 00:07:56,751
- Sir...
- Somewhat hot, a great deal hot?
124
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:33,788
[line ringing]
125
00:08:37,041 --> 00:08:40,336
[woman] Lynchburg Children's,
Pediatric Division.
126
00:08:40,337 --> 00:08:43,088
Can I talk to Cheryl Posner?
127
00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:45,592
[woman] Sorry,
she's on duty right now.
128
00:08:45,593 --> 00:08:49,137
- It's her daughter.
- Hold on one moment.
129
00:08:57,938 --> 00:09:00,772
[Cheryl] Rachel? Rachel?
130
00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:04,110
Sweetheart, are you there?
Please don't--
131
00:09:06,947 --> 00:09:09,281
[line ringing]
132
00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:11,950
- [man] Hello?
- Hi, Mr. Jay, my name is Rachel
133
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:14,994
and I'm calling on behalf of the
National Firearm Education Center.
134
00:09:14,995 --> 00:09:18,080
Would you be able to speak with me
briefly regarding firearm legislation
135
00:09:18,081 --> 00:09:20,209
and Second Amendment protection?
136
00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:23,545
So you're Willa's top choice.
137
00:09:23,546 --> 00:09:26,506
Why should you be my
husband's and my top choice?
138
00:09:26,507 --> 00:09:29,966
Over the past ten years, the two of you
combined have gotten less coverage
139
00:09:29,967 --> 00:09:32,219
than the average junior
congressman from Nebraska.
140
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:35,556
- Well, we don't seek the spotlight.
- I'm not suggesting you should.
141
00:09:35,557 --> 00:09:40,520
But am I correct in assuming that your
husband will be an active vice president?
142
00:09:40,521 --> 00:09:43,189
Well, it's harder to keep an active
VP out of the press than in it,
143
00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:46,986
but it's possible if we give the media
just enough to keep them from starving.
144
00:09:46,987 --> 00:09:51,448
- Where'd you grow up, Connor?
- Texas. Just like you.
145
00:09:51,449 --> 00:09:53,783
- Dallas?
- Lubbock.
146
00:09:53,784 --> 00:09:56,827
I had a much thicker accent
to get rid of than y'all.
147
00:09:56,828 --> 00:09:59,330
- How do you know I had one?
- Your first joint interview,
148
00:09:59,331 --> 00:10:01,543
when your husband was running
for state Assembly in '86.
149
00:10:01,544 --> 00:10:03,877
[sighs, chuckles]
150
00:10:03,878 --> 00:10:07,963
- That's on the Internet?
- No. No, I contacted the local affiliate in Greenville.
151
00:10:07,964 --> 00:10:09,882
They wouldn't send me
the tapes via mail,
152
00:10:09,883 --> 00:10:11,678
so I went down there
and watched in their vault.
153
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,302
To South Carolina?
154
00:10:13,303 --> 00:10:17,141
When I want a job,
I do my homework.
155
00:10:19,727 --> 00:10:21,768
I look forward to seeing
what you come up with.
156
00:10:21,769 --> 00:10:23,356
Thank you, Mrs. Underwood.
157
00:10:23,357 --> 00:10:25,567
[indistinct chatter]
158
00:10:26,734 --> 00:10:28,361
Thursday.
159
00:10:40,789 --> 00:10:43,082
I don't see how this
is a victory for us.
160
00:10:43,083 --> 00:10:46,168
Our choices are the freeze, which
the Democrats get blamed for, or--
161
00:10:46,169 --> 00:10:49,338
- Not necessarily, the Republi--
- Which we definitely get blamed for.
162
00:10:49,339 --> 00:10:52,132
- Or we offer them--
- Entitlements, Frank?
163
00:10:52,133 --> 00:10:53,967
We took a stand.
We can't turn back now.
164
00:10:53,968 --> 00:10:55,761
I'd rather see the
government grind to a halt.
165
00:10:55,762 --> 00:10:58,264
Think of the headline:
"Democratic Leadership
166
00:10:58,265 --> 00:11:00,809
Enacts Entitlement Reform,
Staves Off Freeze."
167
00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:03,478
We show unity.
We offer progress.
168
00:11:03,479 --> 00:11:07,191
Let's convert some
lifelong conservatives.
169
00:11:08,984 --> 00:11:10,861
You have Mendoza's assurance
he'll work with us?
170
00:11:10,862 --> 00:11:14,698
- I do.
- I don't want to put our necks out there
171
00:11:14,699 --> 00:11:16,532
just to have the
guillotine fall.
172
00:11:16,533 --> 00:11:19,955
You won't. My neck will be right
out there with you.
173
00:11:19,956 --> 00:11:25,250
Francis faints at the sight of blood.
He'd never let them break the skin.
174
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:26,960
To unity.
175
00:11:42,269 --> 00:11:44,978
[sighs]
176
00:11:44,979 --> 00:11:47,188
[computer beeps]
177
00:11:47,189 --> 00:11:50,151
No, no, no, no, no, no. Come on.
178
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:03,790
Larry, can you come by? Something weird's
going on with my computer. Thanks.
179
00:12:14,216 --> 00:12:16,135
[mutters]
180
00:12:18,346 --> 00:12:19,472
Come on!
181
00:12:24,769 --> 00:12:28,815
- Hey, what's the problem?
- Nothing. It's fine. I fixed it.
182
00:12:28,816 --> 00:12:31,693
- OK. Cool.
- Yeah.
183
00:12:49,876 --> 00:12:52,714
- It's not as progressive as I'd like.
- You mean radical.
184
00:12:52,715 --> 00:12:57,467
Raising retirement age to 67 makes
entitlements solvent until 2055.
185
00:12:57,468 --> 00:13:02,971
And it saves us over a trillion dollars
without a single penny of taxpayer income.
186
00:13:02,972 --> 00:13:05,057
Sixty-eight would give us
another 300 billion,
187
00:13:05,058 --> 00:13:06,767
and I'd like to
eliminate early retirement.
188
00:13:06,768 --> 00:13:08,437
- Entirely?
- Forget it.
189
00:13:08,438 --> 00:13:11,690
What about... 68 and 64?
190
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:14,107
I have a responsibility
to my constituents.
191
00:13:14,108 --> 00:13:16,694
- I promised I wouldn't waver--
- Are we really going to allow
192
00:13:16,695 --> 00:13:18,903
the tea party to determine
fiscal legislation?
193
00:13:18,904 --> 00:13:21,574
- Never been beholden to the tea party.
- Come on. You wouldn't have won
194
00:13:21,575 --> 00:13:24,493
reelection if their PACs hadn't dumped
ten million into your campaign.
195
00:13:24,494 --> 00:13:27,454
If their definition of budgetary
conservatism happens to overlap with mine,
196
00:13:27,455 --> 00:13:30,624
- that's a function of...
- Curtis, let's show some goodwill.
197
00:13:30,625 --> 00:13:33,918
- Can you stomach 68 and 64?
- Effective immediately?
198
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:36,213
- Five years from now.
- Not interested.
199
00:13:36,214 --> 00:13:38,716
We can't throw this on people
without any warning.
200
00:13:38,717 --> 00:13:42,388
- They need some time to digest.
- I'm sorry, I just can't do it.
201
00:13:44,807 --> 00:13:47,892
OK, meet with your staff,
consult with your colleagues,
202
00:13:47,893 --> 00:13:49,727
I'll consult with mine
and let's talk tomorrow.
203
00:13:49,728 --> 00:13:53,649
- All right. I can agree to that.
- But this is a good first step.
204
00:14:04,118 --> 00:14:05,950
How do we make sure Curtis
can't filibuster
205
00:14:05,951 --> 00:14:08,245
- when we get the amendment passed?
- Assuming we do.
206
00:14:08,246 --> 00:14:10,288
Between you and me, I'm sure
we can turn him around.
207
00:14:10,289 --> 00:14:11,582
I just want to be
on the safe side.
208
00:14:11,583 --> 00:14:13,584
Make sure the
passage of the amendment
209
00:14:13,585 --> 00:14:16,503
- constitutes the passage of the bill.
- By previous agreement.
210
00:14:16,504 --> 00:14:18,714
We pass the amendment,
then we're done. Wham-bam.
211
00:14:18,715 --> 00:14:21,218
- Can we put that in writing?
- Have Erikson reach out to me.
212
00:14:21,219 --> 00:14:22,845
"Muchas gracias."
213
00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:48,287
Lucas Goodwin?
214
00:15:29,286 --> 00:15:31,455
Good evening, Lucas.
215
00:15:34,834 --> 00:15:38,211
Speak into the microphone.
216
00:15:38,212 --> 00:15:41,130
- Who are you?
- Go to the home screen.
217
00:15:41,131 --> 00:15:44,384
- Open the other app.
- Tell me who you are.
218
00:15:44,385 --> 00:15:48,304
You've done your research.
You know who I am.
219
00:15:48,305 --> 00:15:50,640
Well, I know
who you claim to be.
220
00:15:50,641 --> 00:15:54,728
If you're not
convinced by now, goodbye.
221
00:15:54,729 --> 00:15:59,941
Wait a minute. Uh...
222
00:15:59,942 --> 00:16:03,362
- All right, I'm on the home screen.
- Open the notary app.
223
00:16:06,448 --> 00:16:07,824
What is this?
224
00:16:07,825 --> 00:16:09,994
To ensure you
aren't law enforcement.
225
00:16:09,995 --> 00:16:13,538
- I'm not.
- Then sign.
226
00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:17,919
- How?
- Hold your thumb to the camera and press "capture."
227
00:16:19,545 --> 00:16:21,797
How do I know you're
not law enforcement?
228
00:16:21,798 --> 00:16:24,633
Sign the document or walk away.
229
00:16:28,637 --> 00:16:31,598
All right. I did it.
230
00:16:31,599 --> 00:16:35,643
- Press "send."
- Where is this going?
231
00:16:35,644 --> 00:16:41,776
I'm VPNing through Iran and 12 other
countries, don't worry. It's secure.
232
00:16:43,819 --> 00:16:46,696
Now, one last thing.
233
00:16:46,697 --> 00:16:51,577
I need the two-step verification code
for the Herald's internal servers.
234
00:16:53,537 --> 00:16:56,163
I don't even know
how to do that.
235
00:16:56,164 --> 00:16:59,460
Yes, you do. Check your
e-mail.
236
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,011
Destroy the iPad,
especially the serial number,
237
00:17:09,012 --> 00:17:12,513
and delete the e-mail
after you've memorized it.
238
00:17:12,514 --> 00:17:14,433
Good luck.
239
00:17:21,065 --> 00:17:22,942
[Frank] Hello?
240
00:17:22,943 --> 00:17:24,945
Raymond, are you there?
241
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:30,615
Yeah, uh, sorry, Frank, I...
242
00:17:30,616 --> 00:17:32,365
I thought I saw an Inca dove.
243
00:17:32,366 --> 00:17:34,576
It must have flown
the wrong direction for winter.
244
00:17:34,577 --> 00:17:37,999
- It sounds windy. Where are you?
- Top of my building.
245
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,167
Got a bird feeder up here.
246
00:17:41,168 --> 00:17:44,503
Nice work with the president.
I hear we have a green light.
247
00:17:44,504 --> 00:17:49,844
He pushed back in the beginning but, yeah,
his writers are reworking the speech now.
248
00:17:49,845 --> 00:17:53,847
I'm very close to a deal.
Sixty-eight, 64 in five years.
249
00:17:53,848 --> 00:17:57,767
- Spending cuts as discussed.
- That rock solid?
250
00:17:57,768 --> 00:18:01,354
- Soon as we shake hands.
- What's the holdup?
251
00:18:01,355 --> 00:18:04,564
Curtis Haas, which isn't a surprise.
I'm meeting with him soon.
252
00:18:04,565 --> 00:18:07,736
- He's the final hurdle.
- Cutting it pretty close, Frank.
253
00:18:07,737 --> 00:18:10,446
Well, this is...
this is historic.
254
00:18:10,447 --> 00:18:14,240
The Republicans have wanted
entitlement reform since Johnson.
255
00:18:14,241 --> 00:18:17,412
Curtis will come around. In the meantime,
we should get the new retirement ages
256
00:18:17,413 --> 00:18:21,791
- into his speech.
- I would stay away from specifics.
257
00:18:21,792 --> 00:18:25,210
- I mean, even if it passes, the House--
- I know the House
258
00:18:25,211 --> 00:18:29,758
better than you know birds. Believe me when
I say they'll pass the Senate version.
259
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:33,761
I'll talk to the president.
260
00:18:33,762 --> 00:18:37,307
- Just make sure this is airtight.
- Thank you. What is it?
261
00:18:37,308 --> 00:18:40,560
- Lucas Goodwin.
- From the Herald?
262
00:18:40,561 --> 00:18:42,477
He must have been
working with Zoe.
263
00:18:42,478 --> 00:18:45,147
- How much does he know?
- No more than she did.
264
00:18:45,148 --> 00:18:47,651
- She knew enough.
- I'm on it, sir.
265
00:18:47,652 --> 00:18:49,819
- Proof?
- Not yet.
266
00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:53,780
- Jesus, Doug.
- It's under control. I thought you should be aware.
267
00:18:53,781 --> 00:18:56,243
I'm juggling the president,
the Republicans, Tusk. I can't--
268
00:18:56,244 --> 00:19:01,623
And you should stay focused on that.
Goodwin's on my plate, not yours.
269
00:19:03,751 --> 00:19:05,918
It wasn't until the 20th century
270
00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:09,631
that the notion of noble objectivism
came into the forefront.
271
00:19:09,632 --> 00:19:13,467
- But facts are facts.
- Nineteen ninety-two.
272
00:19:13,468 --> 00:19:17,389
Fact: George Bush Sr. is shown
asking how a grocery scanner works,
273
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:22,351
and he gets nailed for it. Fact:
they were showing him a new model.
274
00:19:22,352 --> 00:19:25,941
He was asking how the new one
was different than the old one.
275
00:19:25,942 --> 00:19:28,691
Curiosity, not ignorance.
276
00:19:28,692 --> 00:19:32,779
But the lack of context
told a more powerful narrative.
277
00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:36,783
There is no arrangement of facts
278
00:19:36,784 --> 00:19:39,035
that is purely objective.
279
00:19:39,036 --> 00:19:41,536
We can finally do something.
We have the means to act.
280
00:19:41,537 --> 00:19:43,455
Some teenage,
pimple-faced hacker--
281
00:19:43,456 --> 00:19:45,292
This was a
sophisticated infiltration.
282
00:19:45,293 --> 00:19:49,629
It's not the work of a child.
Look, here's the e-mail.
283
00:19:49,630 --> 00:19:52,923
"Heronymous Bot." The FBI's
been hunting him for years.
284
00:19:52,924 --> 00:19:54,841
- Listen to me--
- If we get these records,
285
00:19:54,842 --> 00:19:57,261
I'll need your help tracking
timelines, piecing together--
286
00:19:57,262 --> 00:20:00,348
No! You want somebody to hold your
hand and say it's OK to go on this
287
00:20:00,349 --> 00:20:02,558
fucking goose chase.
288
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:05,685
You shouldn't be teaching in Ithaca.
You're better than that.
289
00:20:05,686 --> 00:20:07,520
- You should be back--
- I belong here.
290
00:20:07,521 --> 00:20:09,439
Droning on to a bunch
of hung over English majors?
291
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,401
- Exactly.
- You're wrong about the truth.
292
00:20:11,402 --> 00:20:15,738
There is objective truth.
He killed her.
293
00:20:15,739 --> 00:20:17,448
You know it's a fact.
294
00:20:17,449 --> 00:20:21,161
Here's a fact: my mom has ten,
15 years left at best.
295
00:20:21,162 --> 00:20:24,665
I've seen her more in the past month
than since I left for school.
296
00:20:24,666 --> 00:20:30,295
It's simpler here. It's quiet.
I need that. She needs me.
297
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:41,555
I'm sorry, Lucas. I'm sorry
that night how I reacted.
298
00:20:41,556 --> 00:20:43,350
I'm sorry you lost
your girlfriend.
299
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:47,354
I'm sorry the world
is this fucked up.
300
00:20:47,355 --> 00:20:49,522
I really am.
301
00:20:49,523 --> 00:20:51,733
But I can't help you.
302
00:20:59,283 --> 00:21:00,868
Thank you.
303
00:21:06,832 --> 00:21:10,334
- Where's everyone else?
- I did you a disservice yesterday.
304
00:21:10,335 --> 00:21:13,088
We shouldn't have put you on the
spot in front of all the leadership.
305
00:21:13,089 --> 00:21:15,090
Have a seat, Curtis.
306
00:21:19,553 --> 00:21:23,182
We know that you have an
obligation to take a firm stance,
307
00:21:23,183 --> 00:21:26,851
but entitlement reform
is something you ran on,
308
00:21:26,852 --> 00:21:29,937
and now it's within your grasp.
309
00:21:29,938 --> 00:21:33,274
So tell us your fears.
310
00:21:33,275 --> 00:21:35,525
That the Democrats
get another win.
311
00:21:35,526 --> 00:21:38,444
We suffer in the midterms and the next
Congress dismantles the agreement.
312
00:21:38,445 --> 00:21:40,488
You think we're
being disingenuous.
313
00:21:40,489 --> 00:21:43,033
My constituents
don't trust the administration.
314
00:21:43,034 --> 00:21:45,579
I can't have them thinking the wool
has been pulled over our eyes.
315
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:49,123
As I suspected. Hector?
316
00:21:49,124 --> 00:21:52,959
Frank and I propose this: we include
a super majority point of order
317
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,295
against revisiting
the issue for ten years.
318
00:21:55,296 --> 00:21:58,590
You'll have it in black-and-white.
A serious, long-term commitment
319
00:21:58,591 --> 00:22:00,133
with no opportunity
to dismantle.
320
00:22:00,134 --> 00:22:02,676
That's on top of everything
else we asked for.
321
00:22:02,677 --> 00:22:04,888
VA services and FEMA
stay at current levels.
322
00:22:04,889 --> 00:22:08,394
Everything else at 80 to a hundred
percent of the cuts you propose.
323
00:22:08,395 --> 00:22:12,939
You get your win, Curtis.
We just avoid disaster.
324
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:16,278
Maybe the country needs
to see what disaster looks like.
325
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:20,571
The tea party is a strong voice,
and you're its bullhorn.
326
00:22:20,572 --> 00:22:26,412
Show your people that voice can translate
into law, and not just add to the noise.
327
00:22:29,706 --> 00:22:32,834
Fifteen years before
revisitation, not ten.
328
00:22:34,586 --> 00:22:37,421
- OK.
- And if the House fails to pass the bill after we do,
329
00:22:37,422 --> 00:22:40,592
you go on record blaming your
own party for the gridlock.
330
00:22:43,010 --> 00:22:45,639
I believe we have a deal.
331
00:22:53,563 --> 00:22:56,984
[music playing over headphones]
332
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:04,073
What are you listening to?
333
00:23:04,074 --> 00:23:06,785
- Sorry. I'll turn it down.
- No, it's nice.
334
00:23:06,786 --> 00:23:09,120
Can I listen?
335
00:23:09,121 --> 00:23:11,705
My ears are clean, I promise.
336
00:23:11,706 --> 00:23:16,002
[laughs] OK.
337
00:23:16,003 --> 00:23:17,838
Thanks.
338
00:23:24,719 --> 00:23:26,971
- It's beautiful.
- Yeah.
339
00:23:26,972 --> 00:23:30,976
- It's so sad.
- It helps me relax.
340
00:23:32,186 --> 00:23:34,937
Long day?
341
00:23:34,938 --> 00:23:38,065
I work at a call center.
So yeah.
342
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:40,609
Two hundred strangers an hour.
343
00:23:40,610 --> 00:23:43,697
I'll leave you alone. You probably
don't want to talk to another one.
344
00:23:43,698 --> 00:23:48,784
It's all right. As long as
you don't hang up on me.
345
00:23:48,785 --> 00:23:52,997
Do you ever just talk to them?
The strangers?
346
00:23:52,998 --> 00:23:56,835
- We're not allowed to.
- All I would want to do is ask them about who they are.
347
00:23:57,878 --> 00:23:59,380
What about you?
What do you do?
348
00:23:59,381 --> 00:24:04,217
I... I work at the bookstore,
349
00:24:04,218 --> 00:24:05,344
at the day-care center.
350
00:24:08,138 --> 00:24:11,766
I had that same look on my face the first
time somebody handed me one of those.
351
00:24:11,767 --> 00:24:15,395
- I'm just... I'm not religious.
- Just keep it.
352
00:24:15,396 --> 00:24:18,772
Check it out. Or don't.
353
00:24:18,773 --> 00:24:21,276
We've got really
good music there.
354
00:24:23,988 --> 00:24:26,031
Thank you.
355
00:24:37,625 --> 00:24:42,045
The House sent a bill to the Senate. What Frank
wants to send back bears zero resemblance.
356
00:24:42,046 --> 00:24:44,130
Because it's bipartisan,
unlike ours.
357
00:24:44,131 --> 00:24:46,216
That sounds like
something Frank would say.
358
00:24:46,217 --> 00:24:49,302
- I'm not Frank.
- He has a desk in your office.
359
00:24:49,303 --> 00:24:52,433
- If this bill passes in the Senate...
- It won't.
360
00:24:52,434 --> 00:24:55,976
We should be prepared, Bob.
361
00:24:55,977 --> 00:25:01,399
Well, I'm prepared
to wait and see.
362
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,609
Have a good afternoon, ladies.
363
00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:07,863
- Ladies?
- [Jackie] He's threatened.
364
00:25:07,864 --> 00:25:11,032
- He's a pig.
- Give him time. He used to have two white, middle-aged guys
365
00:25:11,033 --> 00:25:14,202
at his side. Now he's got a black guy
and a woman 20 years his junior.
366
00:25:14,203 --> 00:25:16,290
- [phone beeps]
- Who knows how to shoot a rifle.
367
00:25:16,291 --> 00:25:19,125
We just need to keep at him.
368
00:25:19,126 --> 00:25:22,379
- Yes?
- [woman] Catalina Rodriguez is on line four.
369
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:27,092
Give me a moment.
370
00:25:34,182 --> 00:25:38,478
- Catalina.
- [Catalina] Ted told me it was you.
371
00:25:38,479 --> 00:25:42,189
- You there?
- Yes. I'm here.
372
00:25:42,190 --> 00:25:44,524
The press won't leave us alone.
For weeks.
373
00:25:44,525 --> 00:25:47,946
They're showing up, trying to
get pictures of me and Emily.
374
00:25:47,947 --> 00:25:51,782
- It wasn't me.
- You're the only one who knew.
375
00:25:51,783 --> 00:25:55,703
- I don't know how the story got out.
- Why would Ted lie about that?
376
00:25:55,704 --> 00:25:58,998
I don't know.
Maybe... maybe he's ashamed.
377
00:25:58,999 --> 00:26:01,376
So, what do I do?
When will they leave us alone?
378
00:26:01,377 --> 00:26:04,420
I... I don't know, Catalina.
379
00:26:04,421 --> 00:26:06,964
I can't live like this.
380
00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:09,384
I'm... I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.
381
00:26:09,385 --> 00:26:12,346
[Catalina speaks Spanish]
382
00:26:14,931 --> 00:26:18,809
How... how is Emily doing?
383
00:26:18,810 --> 00:26:21,313
- Catalina?
- [line disconnects]
384
00:26:30,614 --> 00:26:35,201
- He's very confident.
- Yeah, but does he have what it takes?
385
00:26:35,202 --> 00:26:40,039
- We'll see when I get his media plan.
- What about his personality?
386
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,793
Charming. Direct.
Very thorough.
387
00:26:44,794 --> 00:26:47,212
He found our first
interview together, in '86.
388
00:26:47,213 --> 00:26:50,382
I would love to see that.
Does he have a copy?
389
00:26:50,383 --> 00:26:53,176
I don't think so. The TV station
made him watch it there.
390
00:26:53,177 --> 00:26:55,805
We should screen that for the
president and the First Lady.
391
00:26:55,806 --> 00:26:58,641
- Show 'em how it's done.
- Christina.
392
00:26:58,642 --> 00:27:01,434
- What about her?
- Have you noticed anything strange
393
00:27:01,435 --> 00:27:04,939
- between her and the president?
- How do you mean?
394
00:27:04,940 --> 00:27:08,359
I passed them
in the hall yesterday.
395
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:12,363
They seem, I don't know...
very intimate.
396
00:27:12,364 --> 00:27:16,242
They did seem cozy
at the prep session.
397
00:27:16,243 --> 00:27:20,745
- Do you think...?
- No. Not necessarily.
398
00:27:20,746 --> 00:27:22,956
An interesting thought, though.
399
00:27:22,957 --> 00:27:25,291
- Sorry to interrupt, sir.
- We're having lunch.
400
00:27:25,292 --> 00:27:28,420
The Republicans are backing out. Mendoza's
chief of staff just gave me the heads up.
401
00:27:28,421 --> 00:27:32,800
- Get Mendoza on the phone.
- It's Curtis Haas. He got cold feet.
402
00:27:32,801 --> 00:27:36,887
[man] Too many cages. It's
really... kind of inconvenient,
403
00:27:36,888 --> 00:27:40,014
but, you know, people look at
them. It's kind of funny. And--
404
00:27:40,015 --> 00:27:42,143
- I got your e-mail.
- Now good for you?
405
00:27:42,144 --> 00:27:46,188
Yeah, sure.
Can I call you right back?
406
00:27:46,189 --> 00:27:48,022
What exactly did you
need to know?
407
00:27:48,023 --> 00:27:50,358
We're doing some follow-up pieces
on the cyberwarfare thing.
408
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,653
I just wanted to get
a layman's understanding
409
00:27:52,654 --> 00:27:55,029
of how the Chinese might
get through a firewall.
410
00:27:55,030 --> 00:27:57,492
It's a bit complicated,
but I can show you the basics.
411
00:27:57,493 --> 00:27:59,035
That's all I need.
412
00:28:15,594 --> 00:28:17,969
We use a standard
N-tier architecture.
413
00:28:17,970 --> 00:28:21,097
Think of it like a big sandwich,
with layers of bread.
414
00:28:21,098 --> 00:28:25,644
Between each is the lettuce, the tomato,
the roast beef, you know, whatever.
415
00:28:25,645 --> 00:28:29,230
What I'm pulling up here is the org
code which separates the database--
416
00:28:29,231 --> 00:28:32,066
Shit, I forgot there's a meeting
with sales in a couple minutes.
417
00:28:32,067 --> 00:28:34,235
- You wanna do this later?
- No, I'll just run over
418
00:28:34,236 --> 00:28:36,531
and let them know I'll be a few minutes late.
Be right back.
419
00:28:36,532 --> 00:28:38,408
Cool. I'll be here.
420
00:28:55,091 --> 00:28:57,469
[whispering] Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
421
00:29:00,221 --> 00:29:02,683
- [phone vibrates]
- Yeah.
422
00:29:12,567 --> 00:29:15,987
[whispers] Come on.
423
00:29:20,241 --> 00:29:22,285
OK.
424
00:29:29,710 --> 00:29:34,005
Delete. Go.
425
00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:38,424
- Something wrong?
- Can't find my phone.
426
00:29:38,425 --> 00:29:40,011
It's weird,
I had it a minute ago.
427
00:29:45,392 --> 00:29:47,685
[sighs] Oh!
428
00:29:47,686 --> 00:29:50,438
- Here it is. Sorry about that.
- No problem.
429
00:29:50,439 --> 00:29:55,568
So the N-tier architecture, the hi-tech
sandwich I was talking about....
430
00:29:55,569 --> 00:29:57,904
[Walker] I thought Mendoza was
willing to work with us.
431
00:29:57,905 --> 00:30:00,947
He is. The problem
is Curtis Haas.
432
00:30:00,948 --> 00:30:04,492
- And have you spoken with him?
- His office isn't returning our calls.
433
00:30:04,493 --> 00:30:07,328
- Neither is Mendoza's, but--
- I should've stuck to my guns.
434
00:30:07,329 --> 00:30:11,251
The vote isn't until tomorrow afternoon.
I'll reach out to Mendoza--
435
00:30:11,252 --> 00:30:16,881
This is the State of the Union,
Frank. I won't be left in limbo.
436
00:30:16,882 --> 00:30:20,343
If we need to start rewriting that speech
now, I don't want to waste a minute.
437
00:30:20,344 --> 00:30:23,053
I can turn this around, sir.
438
00:30:23,054 --> 00:30:26,806
Raymond told me this was your
idea, to pursue this compromise.
439
00:30:26,807 --> 00:30:30,602
- I suggested it as an option.
- No, he said you bullied him into it.
440
00:30:30,603 --> 00:30:32,898
That he thought
it was a mistake.
441
00:30:32,899 --> 00:30:35,816
If he felt so strongly,
442
00:30:35,817 --> 00:30:38,025
he should've have
advised you otherwise.
443
00:30:38,026 --> 00:30:41,529
Raymond's not a politician. He
relies on our political expertise
444
00:30:41,530 --> 00:30:43,489
as much as we rely
on his business acumen.
445
00:30:43,490 --> 00:30:46,033
Maybe we shouldn't point fingers
until there's a problem.
446
00:30:46,034 --> 00:30:48,663
- You wouldn't call this a problem?
- Not if it's solved
447
00:30:48,664 --> 00:30:51,040
before it becomes one.
448
00:30:52,667 --> 00:30:56,085
You see, I wanted a vice president
who can manage Congress,
449
00:30:56,086 --> 00:30:58,463
not one who bites off
more than he can chew.
450
00:30:58,464 --> 00:31:01,050
Then have faith you made
the right choice, sir.
451
00:31:01,051 --> 00:31:04,470
Whatever faith I have...
is quickly evaporating.
452
00:31:04,471 --> 00:31:09,057
Don't humiliate the administration, Frank.
You're part of it now.
453
00:31:09,058 --> 00:31:13,145
- Yes, sir.
- We're done.
454
00:31:13,146 --> 00:31:15,649
Thank you, Mr. President.
455
00:31:21,905 --> 00:31:23,573
Give me the private line,
please.
456
00:31:23,574 --> 00:31:27,367
Tusk is blocking my way.
Goodwin at my heels.
457
00:31:27,368 --> 00:31:29,201
There can be no false steps now.
458
00:31:29,202 --> 00:31:32,833
The higher up the mountain,
the more treacherous the path.
459
00:31:32,834 --> 00:31:36,168
Lucas Goodwin went up
to visit her.
460
00:31:36,169 --> 00:31:38,837
- They may be looking for you.
- Nobody's contacted me.
461
00:31:38,838 --> 00:31:40,463
I don't think anyone
knows I'm here.
462
00:31:40,464 --> 00:31:43,090
We need to make sure
it stays that way.
463
00:31:43,091 --> 00:31:46,680
Don't speak to anyone you don't have to.
Don't go anywhere you don't need to be.
464
00:31:48,849 --> 00:31:52,560
- Tell me you heard what I said.
- I heard you. I get it.
465
00:31:52,561 --> 00:31:53,770
[microwave beeps]
466
00:31:54,647 --> 00:31:56,523
[gasps]
467
00:32:07,367 --> 00:32:09,285
I'm fine.
468
00:32:11,955 --> 00:32:14,833
- Let me put some ice on it.
- I said it's OK.
469
00:32:40,025 --> 00:32:41,942
What is this?
470
00:32:41,943 --> 00:32:44,153
What, are you going
through my garbage now?
471
00:32:47,448 --> 00:32:49,325
Someone gave it
to me on the bus.
472
00:32:59,544 --> 00:33:03,548
You let me know
if anyone contacts you.
473
00:33:36,873 --> 00:33:39,875
- Hey.
- Hey. Sorry I'm late.
474
00:33:39,876 --> 00:33:41,711
No worries.
475
00:33:55,016 --> 00:33:58,017
[woman] How much more you wanna
do right now? Fill in this area?
476
00:33:58,018 --> 00:34:00,436
[Jackie] Yeah, and one
more poppy down here.
477
00:34:00,437 --> 00:34:03,274
- That's a lot for one sitting.
- I know.
478
00:34:03,275 --> 00:34:05,234
OK.
479
00:34:12,241 --> 00:34:14,910
[needle buzzing]
480
00:34:14,911 --> 00:34:17,122
[gasps]
481
00:34:36,641 --> 00:34:38,768
Francis?
482
00:34:47,068 --> 00:34:51,530
- You're heading in?
- Mendoza's an early riser.
483
00:34:51,531 --> 00:34:56,161
- You'll figure this out.
- I need to prove what the vice president is capable of.
484
00:34:56,162 --> 00:35:00,373
Don't prove it to them.
Prove it to me.
485
00:35:04,293 --> 00:35:07,294
Curtis has me by the tea bags, Frank. I
don't have a working majority without him.
486
00:35:07,295 --> 00:35:11,423
- He wasn't elected leader.
- True. But I have to pick my battles.
487
00:35:11,424 --> 00:35:13,425
If you can't control him
on budgetary issues--
488
00:35:13,426 --> 00:35:16,261
It's not just him. It's the 15
senators he has under his thumb.
489
00:35:16,262 --> 00:35:18,181
I won't be the leader next year
if they turn on me.
490
00:35:18,182 --> 00:35:19,974
So he wants to be courted.
Sit him down--
491
00:35:19,975 --> 00:35:22,185
I already tried talking
to him. He wouldn't budge.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:24,228
- We'll both talk.
- He's made his position clear.
493
00:35:24,229 --> 00:35:26,147
We all shook hands
at this table.
494
00:35:26,148 --> 00:35:28,566
The most I can do is put the
substitute amendment on the floor
495
00:35:28,567 --> 00:35:32,486
with limited debate. And your people can
say whatever they want for the record,
496
00:35:32,487 --> 00:35:33,990
but we're gonna vote
the amendment down.
497
00:35:33,991 --> 00:35:38,077
I'm not interested
in symbolic gestures.
498
00:35:38,078 --> 00:35:40,620
Well, that's all I can offer.
499
00:35:40,621 --> 00:35:45,876
- Where's your courage?
- My power has limits, Frank.
500
00:35:45,877 --> 00:35:48,711
[man] Five Republicans makes
you the deciding vote.
501
00:35:48,712 --> 00:35:51,714
Now, it's highly doubtful we can get
them to vote against their own party.
502
00:35:51,715 --> 00:35:54,050
- [Frank] But they might abstain.
- [man] You'd need ten.
503
00:35:54,051 --> 00:35:57,136
[Frank] Entitlement is the Republicans' white whale.
I can get at least two to flip.
504
00:35:57,137 --> 00:35:58,554
[man] Then you'd only
need six abstaining.
505
00:35:58,555 --> 00:36:00,056
[Doug] Erikson's
already making calls.
506
00:36:00,057 --> 00:36:02,016
- [Frank] Donner.
- [Doug] And Pulaski.
507
00:36:02,017 --> 00:36:04,060
[Frank] Get me a call list
so I can tag-team with him.
508
00:36:04,061 --> 00:36:05,228
[Doug] Got it right here.
509
00:36:05,229 --> 00:36:07,438
[Frank] We have
to get medieval.
510
00:36:07,439 --> 00:36:09,941
[man] When it comes to parliamentary
procedure, there's not a rule I don't know.
511
00:36:09,942 --> 00:36:11,861
[Frank] Find me the
ones we can bend.
512
00:36:11,862 --> 00:36:15,989
[Frank] Mark,
you're a sensible man.
513
00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:21,203
Yes, I... I know. I understand.
514
00:36:21,204 --> 00:36:22,996
What if...
515
00:36:22,997 --> 00:36:26,960
Tell you what, what if both
VA hospitals in your district--
516
00:36:26,961 --> 00:36:28,835
Yes, both of them. Hold on.
517
00:36:28,836 --> 00:36:30,962
- Who?
- Moriarty. I promised him an amendment
518
00:36:30,963 --> 00:36:32,378
for his bovine research center.
519
00:36:32,379 --> 00:36:34,508
- That makes six.
- Mark, if I can get you
520
00:36:34,509 --> 00:36:39,138
funding for both,
are you with us? Excellent.
521
00:36:39,139 --> 00:36:41,976
Well, you come by the White House and
have lunch with me sometime soon.
522
00:36:41,977 --> 00:36:44,184
Bye-bye. We have the numbers.
523
00:36:44,185 --> 00:36:46,727
Once you break the quorum call,
it's gonna be a little tricky.
524
00:36:46,728 --> 00:36:47,897
[Frank] Tell me on the way.
525
00:36:47,898 --> 00:36:49,773
[man] Sir.
526
00:36:49,774 --> 00:36:53,485
- Sir, we might not have a majority.
- What?
527
00:36:53,486 --> 00:36:56,696
The Dems are poaching people.
Donner, Pulaski. Maybe more.
528
00:36:56,697 --> 00:36:59,240
- Voting for the amendment?
- Some. Others abstaining.
529
00:36:59,241 --> 00:37:01,575
- I'm still trying to figure out who.
- We need to delay
530
00:37:01,576 --> 00:37:04,287
- and figure out what is going on.
- Quorum call.
531
00:37:04,288 --> 00:37:07,834
There's 49 hours until the
recess. We call a name an hour.
532
00:37:17,677 --> 00:37:20,221
- [man] Mr. Avendale?
- Here.
533
00:37:31,149 --> 00:37:35,153
Excuse me, I do believe
you're sitting in my chair.
534
00:37:39,573 --> 00:37:42,200
Mr. Drewery, what is the order
of business?
535
00:37:42,201 --> 00:37:45,744
- We are in a quorum call, sir.
- Then why aren't you calling the roll?
536
00:37:45,745 --> 00:37:49,625
- We are, sir, in a deliberate manner.
- Let's speed it up.
537
00:37:51,002 --> 00:37:54,254
- Mr. Brown.
- Here.
538
00:37:54,255 --> 00:37:56,588
- More expeditious than that.
- Mr. Burr.
539
00:37:56,589 --> 00:37:57,884
- Here.
- Ms. Cantwell.
540
00:37:57,885 --> 00:37:59,426
- Here.
- Mr. Cerini.
541
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:06,057
- Thank you.
- Cornwall.
542
00:38:06,058 --> 00:38:07,391
- Here.
- Mr. Colson.
543
00:38:07,392 --> 00:38:08,686
- Here.
- Ms. Douster.
544
00:38:08,687 --> 00:38:10,645
Here.
545
00:38:10,646 --> 00:38:13,231
They have a quorum.
We don't have the numbers.
546
00:38:13,232 --> 00:38:16,485
- Out, let's get all our people out.
- Mr. Demerell.
547
00:38:16,486 --> 00:38:19,029
- Mr. Darling. Mr. Daswani.
- Here.
548
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:20,822
- Mr. Donner.
- Faster.
549
00:38:20,823 --> 00:38:22,909
- Mr. Dobben. Mr. Dwyer.
- Here.
550
00:38:22,910 --> 00:38:26,245
- Erinburgh, Engle, Erikson.
- Here.
551
00:38:26,246 --> 00:38:30,041
Mr. Feld. Farrison. Gentry.
552
00:38:32,585 --> 00:38:34,128
Mr. Haas.
553
00:38:35,338 --> 00:38:36,672
- Mr. Whitehouse.
- Here.
554
00:38:36,673 --> 00:38:39,549
Mr. Wicker. Mr. Wyden.
555
00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:44,138
Mr. President,
a quorum is not present.
556
00:38:48,893 --> 00:38:51,894
The chair recognizes the
minority leader, Mr. Erikson.
557
00:38:51,895 --> 00:38:56,899
Mr. President, "I move to direct the
sergeant at arms to compel the attendance
558
00:38:56,900 --> 00:39:00,569
of absent senators, that warrants
for the arrests of all senators
559
00:39:00,570 --> 00:39:05,741
not sick nor excused be issued under the
signature of the presiding officer."
560
00:39:05,742 --> 00:39:08,286
The question is on the motion,
all those in favor say aye.
561
00:39:08,287 --> 00:39:10,662
- [Democrats] Aye.
- All those opposed nay.
562
00:39:10,663 --> 00:39:13,332
- [Republicans] Nay!
- The ayes have it, and the motion is agreed to.
563
00:39:13,333 --> 00:39:17,255
The sergeant of arms is hereby instructed to
compel the attendance of absent senators.
564
00:39:26,013 --> 00:39:29,641
It feels good
to be back in Congress.
565
00:39:29,642 --> 00:39:32,101
[woman on TV] The Democrats have
now empowered the Capitol Police
566
00:39:32,102 --> 00:39:34,603
to arrest absent members
if necessary.
567
00:39:34,604 --> 00:39:37,106
According to Republican
Senator Curtis Haas,
568
00:39:37,107 --> 00:39:39,942
one of the staunchest opponents
of the entitlement amendment,
569
00:39:39,943 --> 00:39:43,322
the vice president is, quote:
"Replacing democracy with tyranny.
570
00:39:43,323 --> 00:39:48,327
He's transformed the Senate into a
police state within the Capitol." But...
571
00:39:48,328 --> 00:39:51,536
Well, it'll be even harder
to stay out of the news now.
572
00:39:51,537 --> 00:39:56,252
- Then why the joint interview?
- I watched the South Carolina one again.
573
00:39:56,253 --> 00:39:59,754
Convinced them to make me
a copy. It's powerful.
574
00:39:59,755 --> 00:40:02,006
Here you go.
I thought you might want it.
575
00:40:02,007 --> 00:40:05,886
There's a moment where you ran
your fingers through his hair.
576
00:40:05,887 --> 00:40:08,805
It's intimate. Human.
That moment alone
577
00:40:08,806 --> 00:40:10,391
would've made me want
to vote for your husband.
578
00:40:10,392 --> 00:40:14,519
Something like that
will buy you months
579
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,103
of flying beneath the radar.
580
00:40:16,104 --> 00:40:18,691
And who do you have in mind
to conduct the interview?
581
00:40:18,692 --> 00:40:20,860
Does this mean I have the job?
582
00:40:22,528 --> 00:40:24,530
It means you still
haven't been ruled out.
583
00:40:24,531 --> 00:40:27,158
Well, I'll
consider that progress.
584
00:40:53,893 --> 00:40:57,313
This is the Democratic cloak room, Hector.
Yours is on the other side.
585
00:40:57,314 --> 00:41:01,024
- What you're doing won't work.
- It might.
586
00:41:01,025 --> 00:41:05,195
Which is why you made the long
walk over here. Ice water?
587
00:41:05,196 --> 00:41:07,863
I have my people in planes,
trains and automobiles.
588
00:41:07,864 --> 00:41:10,201
All I need is six
to make my quorum.
589
00:41:10,202 --> 00:41:14,162
Think what I can do with
26 votes, and I've got 45.
590
00:41:14,163 --> 00:41:16,955
You won't be able to get your planes
and trains back here fast enough.
591
00:41:16,956 --> 00:41:18,334
I'll roll those dice.
592
00:41:18,335 --> 00:41:22,462
The sergeant at arms
is very good at his job.
593
00:41:22,463 --> 00:41:26,465
And this is the perfect way
to show Curtis who's in charge.
594
00:41:26,466 --> 00:41:30,219
- I'm doing you a favor, Hector.
- Tell me what you want.
595
00:41:30,220 --> 00:41:32,932
What I've always wanted.
The package we shook hands on.
596
00:41:34,350 --> 00:41:36,725
Then I'll give you
your Senate back.
597
00:41:36,726 --> 00:41:40,771
- They can't come back voluntarily?
- Pick your six best actors.
598
00:41:40,772 --> 00:41:44,818
- We can't give in, Hector.
- We wouldn't be in this situation
599
00:41:44,819 --> 00:41:46,904
had you toed the party line.
600
00:41:50,199 --> 00:41:53,492
- [Drewery] Mr. Mendoza is present.
- [Hector] Under protest.
601
00:41:53,493 --> 00:41:56,579
- [Drewery] Ms. Cornwall is present.
- Under protest.
602
00:41:56,580 --> 00:41:59,748
[Drewery] Mr. Ullman is present.
Mr. Walsh is present.
603
00:41:59,749 --> 00:42:02,209
Ms. Douster is present
and Mr. Haas is present.
604
00:42:02,210 --> 00:42:05,963
- Mr. President, a quorum is now present.
- You can pass the amendment.
605
00:42:05,964 --> 00:42:09,048
- I'll just filibuster the main bill.
- No, you won't.
606
00:42:09,049 --> 00:42:11,385
- Watch me.
- As much as I'd like to see you
607
00:42:11,386 --> 00:42:14,638
hold your piss for two days,
we struck a deal with Hector.
608
00:42:14,639 --> 00:42:19,310
[Erikson] Passage of the substitute amendment
constitutes passage of the main bill.
609
00:42:19,311 --> 00:42:22,729
- I wasn't informed of that.
- Pay attention to the fine print, Curtis.
610
00:42:22,730 --> 00:42:25,316
It's far more important than
the selling price. Let's go.
611
00:42:25,317 --> 00:42:28,446
I want an immediate call to the roll.
Don't let half a second pass.
612
00:42:28,447 --> 00:42:31,239
- Yes, sir.
- A quorum is present.
613
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:34,825
The question is on the adoption of
the substitute amendment to HR 934,
614
00:42:34,826 --> 00:42:37,871
the yeas and nays have been ordered
and the clerk will call the roll.
615
00:42:37,872 --> 00:42:39,705
- Mr. Abner.
- Aye!
616
00:42:39,706 --> 00:42:41,373
- Mr. Avendale.
- Aye!
617
00:42:41,374 --> 00:42:42,792
Mr. Brown.
618
00:42:42,793 --> 00:42:44,627
I'd like to propose an amendment
to HR 934.
619
00:42:44,628 --> 00:42:46,878
Mr. Haas, you are out of order,
the roll call has begun,
620
00:42:46,879 --> 00:42:50,593
- the clerk will continue to call roll.
- Mr. Brown. Mr. Burr.
621
00:42:50,594 --> 00:42:52,218
- Aye!
- Ms. Catwell.
622
00:42:52,219 --> 00:42:53,596
- Aye!
- Mr. Cerini.
623
00:42:53,597 --> 00:42:54,971
- Aye!
- Mr. Chess.
624
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:56,432
- Aye!
- Ms. Cornwall.
625
00:42:56,433 --> 00:42:58,099
- Nay!
- Mr. Colson.
626
00:42:58,100 --> 00:43:00,269
[man playing guitar]
627
00:43:58,369 --> 00:44:01,371
- Hey.
- Hey.
628
00:44:01,372 --> 00:44:04,416
- I'm glad you came.
- Yeah, me too.
629
00:44:04,417 --> 00:44:10,255
- What did you think?
- The music was really beautiful.
630
00:44:10,256 --> 00:44:14,843
- Not what you expected?
- I wasn't sure what to expect.
631
00:44:16,429 --> 00:44:19,556
- I'm Lisa.
- Rachel. Sorry. [laughs]
632
00:44:19,557 --> 00:44:23,935
No. We've got cookies
and cake inside, if you...
633
00:44:23,936 --> 00:44:27,773
- I think I'm gonna...
- If you want to meet some of my friends.
634
00:44:29,442 --> 00:44:31,067
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
635
00:44:31,068 --> 00:44:33,654
- OK. Yeah.
- OK.
636
00:44:37,116 --> 00:44:40,536
We should add miracle worker
to your résumé, Frank.
637
00:44:40,537 --> 00:44:43,246
Lazarus makes
for a good magic act,
638
00:44:43,247 --> 00:44:45,997
but life would've been a lot easier if the
bastard hadn't died in the first place.
639
00:44:45,998 --> 00:44:50,586
[laughs] Well, the president wanted to
go ballistic, but I calmed him down.
640
00:44:50,587 --> 00:44:53,297
I said don't worry,
Frank will pull this out.
641
00:44:53,298 --> 00:44:56,717
Did you? I don't blame you
for being two-faced, Raymond.
642
00:44:56,718 --> 00:44:58,510
It's good politics, as long
as you don't get caught at it.
643
00:44:58,511 --> 00:45:00,598
Now, Frank,
if you think that I--
644
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:02,014
It's OK, Raymond.
645
00:45:02,015 --> 00:45:05,227
Jesus forgives you. Good night.
646
00:45:26,290 --> 00:45:29,376
- [knocking on door]
- Hello?
647
00:45:33,589 --> 00:45:35,549
Hello?
648
00:45:40,513 --> 00:45:44,141
- Care for some wine?
- No.
649
00:45:48,853 --> 00:45:50,815
Step into the room.
650
00:45:54,610 --> 00:45:57,154
Closer. Closer.
651
00:45:58,447 --> 00:46:00,574
- State your name and the date.
- Wait, why?
652
00:46:00,575 --> 00:46:03,160
State your name and the date,
please.
653
00:46:04,745 --> 00:46:08,038
Lucas Goodwin. February 13th.
654
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:11,584
- Year.
- Two thousand fourteen.
655
00:46:11,585 --> 00:46:13,752
Are you currently or have
you ever been a member--
656
00:46:13,753 --> 00:46:15,462
- What is this?
- Are you or have you ever been
657
00:46:15,463 --> 00:46:17,339
a member of any
law enforcement agency?
658
00:46:17,340 --> 00:46:20,511
- I already told you I wasn't.
- Two-step verification.
659
00:46:20,512 --> 00:46:22,970
No. I'm not and I haven't.
660
00:46:22,971 --> 00:46:26,557
[man] Are you currently or have you ever
been an informant for law enforcement?
661
00:46:26,558 --> 00:46:28,684
- No.
- [man] You think you might've been followed?
662
00:46:28,685 --> 00:46:31,019
- Anything strange the past few weeks?
- You know what?
663
00:46:31,020 --> 00:46:32,231
This is making me feel
uncomfortable.
664
00:46:32,232 --> 00:46:34,566
We're not fucking around here.
665
00:46:34,567 --> 00:46:38,111
If you think the FBI hasn't been
tracking your posts, then you're naive.
666
00:46:38,112 --> 00:46:44,659
- You think they know who I am?
- No, you hid yourself well.
667
00:46:44,660 --> 00:46:46,284
What are you going to do
with the Herald?
668
00:46:46,285 --> 00:46:48,537
- Nothing.
- Then why did you want access?
669
00:46:48,538 --> 00:46:51,208
I already had access. It's how I
contacted you in the first place.
670
00:46:51,209 --> 00:46:54,754
I just needed to know
if you were serious.
671
00:46:58,465 --> 00:47:03,678
- That's Cashew.
- [squeaking]
672
00:47:03,679 --> 00:47:06,515
Why did you contact me?
673
00:47:07,850 --> 00:47:10,060
Because you're desperate.
674
00:47:12,855 --> 00:47:15,147
And I'm not fond of authority.
675
00:47:15,148 --> 00:47:16,940
[Walker on TV] Just today,
676
00:47:16,941 --> 00:47:18,903
under the leadership
of Vice President Underwood,
677
00:47:18,904 --> 00:47:22,196
the Senate passed HR 934,
678
00:47:22,197 --> 00:47:26,075
along with an historic
entitlement reform amendment.
679
00:47:26,076 --> 00:47:29,995
By raising the retirement age
to 68 and 64
680
00:47:29,996 --> 00:47:33,249
for normal and early
retirement respectively,
681
00:47:33,250 --> 00:47:37,462
we will ensure entitlements
for generations to come.
682
00:47:37,463 --> 00:47:39,882
[applause]
683
00:47:47,055 --> 00:47:51,351
[Walker] And when the House passes that bill
in a few weeks, as I fully expect them to do,
684
00:47:51,352 --> 00:47:54,479
we will put the government
freeze to rest.
685
00:47:54,480 --> 00:48:00,568
We will continue the business of serving
our country rather than paralyzing it.
686
00:48:00,569 --> 00:48:03,404
The American people
deserve no less.
687
00:48:03,405 --> 00:48:07,659
We stand at the
altar of democracy.
688
00:48:07,660 --> 00:48:11,245
Let us stand together.
689
00:48:11,246 --> 00:48:14,291
[applause]
690
00:48:17,210 --> 00:48:21,798
I spoke to Jackie. You have
my support in the House.
691
00:48:21,799 --> 00:48:24,215
But it hasn't passed
the House yet.
692
00:48:24,216 --> 00:48:27,680
We've a long march before it
arrives on the president's desk.
693
00:48:27,681 --> 00:48:31,808
As for me, I used to be
on the edge of the frame.
694
00:48:31,809 --> 00:48:35,813
Now, I'm only three feet away.
695
00:48:41,157 --> 00:48:48,594
