1
00:00:02,018 --> 00:00:05,020
[woman] Jackie Sharp.
2
00:00:05,021 --> 00:00:06,982
- [thunder crashes]
- Terry Womack.
3
00:00:08,733 --> 00:00:11,359
Bob Birch.
4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,657
[man] President Walker has surrounded
himself with a broken Congress.
5
00:00:15,658 --> 00:00:19,493
He even brought one of them
into the White House.
6
00:00:19,494 --> 00:00:24,080
Now, they've broken the economy and put
us on a collision course with China.
7
00:00:24,081 --> 00:00:26,501
Put a stop to them
before it's too late.
8
00:00:28,295 --> 00:00:30,255
Send a message at the midterms.
9
00:00:30,256 --> 00:00:32,714
Let's start fixing the country.
10
00:00:32,715 --> 00:00:35,760
[woman] Paid for by Friends
of a Better America.
11
00:00:38,429 --> 00:00:40,638
[Walker] Twenty-five million?
Out of thin air?
12
00:00:40,639 --> 00:00:42,598
- [man] That's our estimate.
- Where is the money coming from?
13
00:00:42,599 --> 00:00:44,642
- [man 2] Super PACs.
- [Jackie] These are issue-based attack ads.
14
00:00:44,643 --> 00:00:46,686
- So who's giving to them?
- We can't trace the money
15
00:00:46,687 --> 00:00:48,437
until this quarter's
filings come in.
16
00:00:48,438 --> 00:00:50,982
We get killed in the midterms,
we can kiss 2016 goodbye.
17
00:00:50,983 --> 00:00:53,818
You can deal with the Republican
majority and a Republican president.
18
00:00:53,819 --> 00:00:55,486
[man] We're trying to counter
with D-trip.
19
00:00:55,487 --> 00:00:56,946
[Walker] Make 25 million appear
out of nowhere?
20
00:00:56,947 --> 00:00:58,948
- We can make a dent.
- Dents don't cut it.
21
00:00:58,949 --> 00:01:01,326
No matter how fast we ramp up
fund-raising, we can't close the gap.
22
00:01:01,327 --> 00:01:03,744
- We have to stop their money flow.
- [Walker] I want to know how.
23
00:01:03,745 --> 00:01:05,955
[Frank] Locate the source
and then cut off the tap.
24
00:01:05,956 --> 00:01:08,791
With this influx, you can be sure that
somebody's not playing by the rules,
25
00:01:08,792 --> 00:01:10,501
but we can't whistle-blow
until we find the source.
26
00:01:10,502 --> 00:01:13,171
Then find it. And you sure
as hell better find it soon.
27
00:01:13,172 --> 00:01:16,299
In the meantime, I've been working on
a proposal to counter the attacks.
28
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:18,134
I've coordinated
national messaging effort.
29
00:01:18,135 --> 00:01:19,677
I'll be sending copies
later today.
30
00:01:19,678 --> 00:01:21,679
[Walker] We should be open to
every idea.
31
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,016
Now, go. Get to work.
32
00:01:29,898 --> 00:01:31,524
Frank.
33
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:36,944
You were supposed
to steer Congress on my behalf.
34
00:01:36,945 --> 00:01:40,323
- No one is as concerned as me.
- I should've kept you in the House,
35
00:01:40,324 --> 00:01:42,449
like Raymond suggested
from day one.
36
00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:43,953
But you've been distracted,
37
00:01:43,954 --> 00:01:46,621
by the Senate,
the State of the Union,
38
00:01:46,622 --> 00:01:48,289
meddling with foreign diplomacy.
39
00:01:48,290 --> 00:01:50,541
- You asked me to negotiate--
- I know what I've done.
40
00:01:50,542 --> 00:01:53,878
- And I know where it's gotten us.
- Sir, the attack ads are not
41
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,504
- a result of anything--
- You're scrambling from fire to fire
42
00:01:56,505 --> 00:02:00,718
- instead of preventing them.
- I'm not the FEC, I can't wave a wand--
43
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:03,763
Give me more than excuses,
Frank! You're better than that!
44
00:02:03,764 --> 00:02:07,183
- Or maybe you're not.
- If you need a punching bag,
45
00:02:07,184 --> 00:02:12,190
I will stand here and take the punches,
as I have done time and time again,
46
00:02:12,191 --> 00:02:14,775
since I swore my oath.
47
00:02:14,776 --> 00:02:17,946
But I would much rather get back
to work, as you've asked me to do.
48
00:02:17,947 --> 00:02:19,864
You are out of line, Frank.
49
00:02:21,324 --> 00:02:24,911
Dismiss me or keep swinging,
Mr. President.
50
00:02:25,787 --> 00:02:27,163
You're dismissed.
51
00:02:28,539 --> 00:02:30,750
Thank you, sir.
52
00:03:59,058 --> 00:04:02,244
Sync and corrections by n17t01
www.addic7ed.com
53
00:04:11,767 --> 00:04:14,978
Dan Lanagin switched teams.
54
00:04:14,979 --> 00:04:17,815
That doesn't make any sense.
55
00:04:17,816 --> 00:04:21,736
I couldn't find any anomalies
among big Republican donors,
56
00:04:21,737 --> 00:04:23,320
so I checked our own.
57
00:04:23,321 --> 00:04:25,571
Lanagin hasn't given
a dime this quarter.
58
00:04:25,572 --> 00:04:29,452
Yeah, but not giving isn't the
same as giving to the Republicans.
59
00:04:29,453 --> 00:04:33,288
His casino's accounts.
Ernst and Young.
60
00:04:33,289 --> 00:04:37,709
Eighteen million for donations,
and they're not going to us.
61
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:40,002
[Doug] How did you get
your hands on those?
62
00:04:40,003 --> 00:04:43,548
I've got friends. That's why
you solicit my services.
63
00:04:43,549 --> 00:04:45,550
[Doug] The estimate for
the ad buys was 25 million.
64
00:04:45,551 --> 00:04:47,595
[man] Those accounts are
up-to-date as of June 30th.
65
00:04:47,596 --> 00:04:50,848
They could've made
more donations since then.
66
00:04:53,436 --> 00:04:55,353
Tusk.
67
00:04:56,439 --> 00:05:00,232
Lanagin's casino is in Missouri.
68
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:03,067
- [man] Raymond Tusk?
- He's got an axe to grind with me
69
00:05:03,068 --> 00:05:06,862
- and with the president.
- [man] I've never seen his name on any FEC filings.
70
00:05:06,863 --> 00:05:11,284
He doesn't make political contributions.
That's how he remains flexible.
71
00:05:11,285 --> 00:05:13,913
[man] You think he's funneling
the money somehow?
72
00:05:16,332 --> 00:05:18,208
I don't know.
73
00:05:18,209 --> 00:05:20,669
Get yourself to Kansas City.
I want you in that casino.
74
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:23,131
- Yes, sir.
- I'll keep digging.
75
00:05:24,132 --> 00:05:26,341
Get me my wife.
76
00:05:26,342 --> 00:05:29,345
- [man] Where'd you get the recipe?
- [Freddy] My father taught me.
77
00:05:29,346 --> 00:05:32,013
- You and your dad were close?
- Nah.
78
00:05:32,014 --> 00:05:34,476
Cooking ribs was the only thing
that motherfucker did right.
79
00:05:34,477 --> 00:05:38,686
- I guess you can't print that.
- [laughs] I have ways.
80
00:05:38,687 --> 00:05:40,563
This really gonna
be in the paper?
81
00:05:40,564 --> 00:05:42,482
Well, at least in Boston, yeah.
82
00:05:42,483 --> 00:05:44,735
Don't see why
anybody would care.
83
00:05:44,736 --> 00:05:47,321
Well, it's a personal
interest story.
84
00:05:47,322 --> 00:05:51,658
Vice President of the United
States comes here, of all places.
85
00:05:51,659 --> 00:05:56,330
- You mean this shithole?
- That's not what I said.
86
00:05:56,331 --> 00:05:58,081
It's OK.
87
00:05:58,082 --> 00:06:01,001
It's not the Taj Mahal.
88
00:06:01,002 --> 00:06:04,963
- How long has he been coming?
- About 20 years now.
89
00:06:04,964 --> 00:06:08,174
- He's a good man, Frank.
- You still call him Frank?
90
00:06:08,175 --> 00:06:11,929
Hey, in this joint, I'm the president,
the vice president and the Congress.
91
00:06:11,930 --> 00:06:16,224
He just another customer.
A loyal one.
92
00:06:16,225 --> 00:06:17,891
You think that's
why he likes it here?
93
00:06:17,892 --> 00:06:20,062
Cause you treat him
like a regular person?
94
00:06:20,063 --> 00:06:25,066
Maybe. Mostly it's
the fuckin' ribs, though.
95
00:06:25,067 --> 00:06:29,864
Now, if unemployment goes up more than
two-tenths, I want the Fed to consider...
96
00:06:55,515 --> 00:06:58,433
[music plays softly]
97
00:06:58,434 --> 00:07:02,438
- [woman] Get you something, hon?
- Club soda with lime, please.
98
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,814
- That's it?
- Yeah.
99
00:07:04,815 --> 00:07:07,609
- Nothing to eat?
- No. That's it.
100
00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:11,279
Tough spot to hang out
if you're in the program.
101
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,950
- How'd you know?
- Takes one to know one, right?
102
00:07:15,951 --> 00:07:19,580
- How long?
- Little over a year. You?
103
00:07:19,581 --> 00:07:21,373
Going on 15.
104
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:26,378
- Any luck with the ponies?
- None. Not yet.
105
00:07:26,379 --> 00:07:30,966
- Pick a number, one through 12.
- Nine.
106
00:07:33,428 --> 00:07:37,764
- Hot Fuzz.
- Sounds about right.
107
00:07:37,765 --> 00:07:42,144
Club soda comin' up, darlin'.
With lime.
108
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:45,482
[man] Hasn't moved,
last two hours.
109
00:07:45,483 --> 00:07:48,024
And he hasn't
spoken to anybody?
110
00:07:48,025 --> 00:07:50,486
Just been betting on the races.
111
00:07:50,487 --> 00:07:54,239
- You want us to bring him in?
- No.
112
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,284
That's the vice president's
chief of staff.
113
00:07:57,285 --> 00:08:01,121
- Really?
- We don't want to make a scene.
114
00:08:01,122 --> 00:08:03,497
Just keep an eye on him.
115
00:08:03,498 --> 00:08:08,336
Let me know what he does, where
he goes and who he talks to.
116
00:08:08,337 --> 00:08:09,922
You got it, Mr. Lanagin.
117
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:12,840
[Walker] You should've
seen their faces.
118
00:08:12,841 --> 00:08:14,801
They didn't know what to think.
119
00:08:14,802 --> 00:08:16,343
Especially when
I made them hold the bag.
120
00:08:16,344 --> 00:08:18,681
- You tried it out?
- I sure as hell did.
121
00:08:18,682 --> 00:08:21,391
[both laugh]
122
00:08:21,392 --> 00:08:25,269
- [sighs] I'm sorry I lashed out at you, Frank.
- No. I was disrespectful,
123
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:28,608
- and that was uncalled for.
- My temper's gotten away from me these days.
124
00:08:28,609 --> 00:08:32,611
I need to be jolted back
into reality sometimes.
125
00:08:32,612 --> 00:08:37,699
- It was a... a kind gesture.
- Just some good ol' fun.
126
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,367
Tricia tells me we're having
dinner, later this week.
127
00:08:40,368 --> 00:08:42,161
Yes, Claire tells me the same.
128
00:08:42,162 --> 00:08:46,083
Well, it'll be good to get out
of this place for a few hours.
129
00:08:54,967 --> 00:08:59,221
It's been here since Kennedy. It was
painted the same year he was born.
130
00:08:59,222 --> 00:09:02,890
It depicts, I think,
a World War I parade.
131
00:09:02,891 --> 00:09:06,603
Well, I should know
every painting.
132
00:09:06,604 --> 00:09:09,398
Well, you seem to know quite a
lot, at least about this one.
133
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:14,194
I try to soak it all in while I can.
All the history.
134
00:09:14,195 --> 00:09:18,073
Presidents who obsess over history
obsess about their place in it,
135
00:09:18,074 --> 00:09:22,327
- instead of forging it.
- Who said that?
136
00:09:22,328 --> 00:09:25,498
I did... just now.
137
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:30,794
The White House.
All day long it's buzzing,
138
00:09:30,795 --> 00:09:35,298
and at this hour
it's so... desolate.
139
00:09:35,299 --> 00:09:38,968
The presidency is a great
and precious thing.
140
00:09:38,969 --> 00:09:41,889
Loneliness is the price.
141
00:09:42,598 --> 00:09:43,891
Let's assume...
142
00:09:46,143 --> 00:09:50,021
...in one of these chairs,
staring at this wall,
143
00:09:50,022 --> 00:09:53,525
is where Truman decided
to drop the bomb,
144
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:56,237
and see if we feel anything.
145
00:10:09,667 --> 00:10:10,918
Nothing. You?
146
00:10:12,795 --> 00:10:15,715
- No, nothing.
- [both laugh]
147
00:10:24,098 --> 00:10:26,015
Sorry, it's a mess.
148
00:10:26,016 --> 00:10:29,395
- You don't have to clean up for me.
- Yes, I do.
149
00:10:33,982 --> 00:10:36,360
Wouldn't want you seeing these.
150
00:10:37,945 --> 00:10:40,197
I wore 'em last night.
151
00:10:43,451 --> 00:10:46,995
You like these, or you want
the ones I'm wearing now?
152
00:11:00,259 --> 00:11:04,220
- How long you been working in the casino?
- Too long.
153
00:11:04,221 --> 00:11:09,477
- Bet you've seen a lot.
- Oh, yeah. I've seen everything.
154
00:11:24,659 --> 00:11:28,329
- I should get going, got an early meeting.
- OK.
155
00:11:33,876 --> 00:11:36,211
You want me to stay?
156
00:11:38,046 --> 00:11:40,549
I wasn't planning
on sleeping here.
157
00:11:42,134 --> 00:11:46,472
So... another one-night stand,
then.
158
00:11:46,473 --> 00:11:51,893
- Is that OK?
- Not really my thing.
159
00:11:51,894 --> 00:11:55,605
- Come on, you must play the field.
- No, I don't.
160
00:11:55,606 --> 00:11:59,985
- [laughs] But you are such a flirt.
- I flirt, yes.
161
00:11:59,986 --> 00:12:03,363
But I only sleep with
someone if I'm into them.
162
00:12:03,364 --> 00:12:04,866
And I prefer to stick around.
163
00:12:04,867 --> 00:12:08,118
Remy Danton, serial monogamist.
164
00:12:08,786 --> 00:12:09,912
Is this a joke?
165
00:12:11,706 --> 00:12:15,249
I'm sorry. I didn't...
166
00:12:15,250 --> 00:12:17,670
Sorry.
167
00:12:23,759 --> 00:12:25,804
This doesn't happen again
unless it's leading somewhere.
168
00:12:25,805 --> 00:12:30,725
I'm upfront about what I want. In
all things, not just politics.
169
00:12:36,689 --> 00:12:41,191
Three or four times a year, they fly in
about a dozen Chinese guys, money to burn.
170
00:12:41,192 --> 00:12:43,777
They got a whole floor of the
casino reserved just for them.
171
00:12:43,778 --> 00:12:45,696
Word is they
throw away millions.
172
00:12:45,697 --> 00:12:47,614
That doesn't
necessarily mean anything.
173
00:12:47,615 --> 00:12:49,658
The Chinese love to gamble,
especially the rich ones.
174
00:12:49,659 --> 00:12:51,828
[Doug] Yeah, in Vegas.
This is Missouri.
175
00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:56,666
- It's a much longer flight.
- I wanna find out...
176
00:12:56,667 --> 00:12:59,125
I want to find out where these
planes are coming from.
177
00:12:59,126 --> 00:13:02,086
- Who do we know in the FAA?
- I don't know anyone, but Doyle does.
178
00:13:02,087 --> 00:13:05,426
I already got him on it. I'll text
you when I hear back from Doyle.
179
00:13:05,427 --> 00:13:06,594
I gotta go.
180
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:09,972
You leaving?
181
00:13:15,352 --> 00:13:18,021
Yeah. Thanks for last night.
182
00:13:18,022 --> 00:13:21,190
- I had fun.
- No, you didn't.
183
00:13:21,191 --> 00:13:23,527
You were thinking
of somebody else.
184
00:13:34,246 --> 00:13:37,499
I got that one after ten years.
185
00:13:40,962 --> 00:13:43,213
Hope it brings you some luck.
186
00:13:50,136 --> 00:13:54,514
Elaine Brooks will be sponsoring and the
First Lady has approved the early draft.
187
00:13:54,515 --> 00:13:57,434
Jackie, take a look at the board.
Get a sense of who might cosponsor,
188
00:13:57,435 --> 00:14:01,688
- besides yourself.
- Absolutely. I'm sure we can lock down a lot of heavyweights.
189
00:14:01,689 --> 00:14:03,231
Lorrie and I will
get right on it.
190
00:14:03,232 --> 00:14:05,275
We should talk
about a media plan.
191
00:14:05,276 --> 00:14:07,360
- It's premature for that.
- [Connor] Don't we want to get this out,
192
00:14:07,361 --> 00:14:09,362
start building support
as soon as possible?
193
00:14:09,363 --> 00:14:11,907
- Events, interviews?
- I want what's most effective.
194
00:14:11,908 --> 00:14:14,868
A media blitz is the wrong way to go.
You want a single long lead
195
00:14:14,869 --> 00:14:17,412
that coincides with the introduction
of the bill. Something classy.
196
00:14:17,413 --> 00:14:20,040
- But you want broad support, to hit--
- A blanket strategy will
197
00:14:20,041 --> 00:14:21,708
galvanize as many detractors
as supporters.
198
00:14:21,709 --> 00:14:23,418
[Connor] Not if the message
is framed--
199
00:14:23,419 --> 00:14:25,378
We want a key demographic
to get on board, and then--
200
00:14:25,379 --> 00:14:27,006
- Let me finish, please.
- Then we let it percolate.
201
00:14:27,007 --> 00:14:29,549
I suggest Matt Bai,
The New York Times Magazine.
202
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:31,677
I like that idea.
I like that very much.
203
00:14:31,678 --> 00:14:35,639
So do I. Can you speak to Matt? No promises.
Just test the waters.
204
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,100
- [Connor] Happy to do that.
- I've got a good relationship. I'll call him.
205
00:14:38,101 --> 00:14:41,689
[Claire] Great. Seth, you keep me posted and
let's all get together later this week.
206
00:14:41,690 --> 00:14:42,816
Thanks, Jackie.
207
00:14:54,743 --> 00:14:56,785
I want you to read the bill
and write me a summary.
208
00:14:56,786 --> 00:15:00,290
Do not, under any circumstances, share
it with anyone until we've spoken.
209
00:15:00,291 --> 00:15:04,545
- Don't want to go over the board first--
- No. Not yet.
210
00:15:11,052 --> 00:15:13,469
[Remy] Anything
on the abortion?
211
00:15:13,470 --> 00:15:15,721
[Seth] Nothing.
It all checks out.
212
00:15:15,722 --> 00:15:18,765
- [Remy] One hundred percent?
- [Seth] I turned over every stone.
213
00:15:18,766 --> 00:15:20,978
- Mrs. Underwood was telling the truth.
- We need something.
214
00:15:20,979 --> 00:15:24,898
- This is taking too long.
- The Underwoods are careful.
215
00:15:24,899 --> 00:15:27,066
If they have skeletons,
they're buried deep.
216
00:15:27,067 --> 00:15:29,695
Not a question of "if." Somebody
like Frank is gonna have skeletons.
217
00:15:30,404 --> 00:15:32,739
Then I'll find them.
218
00:15:32,740 --> 00:15:36,616
If you don't deliver, that means I don't deliver.
And I always deliver.
219
00:15:36,617 --> 00:15:40,037
You gave me an assignment with high
expectations. I will meet them.
220
00:15:40,038 --> 00:15:44,126
But it's not gonna happen overnight.
So don't fuck with me.
221
00:15:44,127 --> 00:15:48,213
I'm a hired gun.
Not one that you own.
222
00:15:48,214 --> 00:15:51,216
As long as you hit the target.
223
00:15:51,217 --> 00:15:53,300
Then I need a favor.
224
00:15:53,301 --> 00:15:55,845
- Connor Ellis.
- What about him?
225
00:15:55,846 --> 00:15:58,806
I'll have more access
if he isn't around.
226
00:15:58,807 --> 00:16:01,560
Arrange a cushy job offer
for him somewhere.
227
00:16:01,561 --> 00:16:06,522
- Private or public sector?
- Private. Lots of money.
228
00:16:06,523 --> 00:16:09,275
Something he can't turn down.
229
00:16:09,276 --> 00:16:11,319
I'll see what I can do.
230
00:16:15,908 --> 00:16:18,492
Here, this is half.
231
00:16:18,493 --> 00:16:21,163
You can pay me when I've
gotten you what you want.
232
00:16:21,164 --> 00:16:24,416
I don't take half pay
for a job half done.
233
00:16:35,511 --> 00:16:39,721
- It's an interesting proposal.
- What we're missing is a unified theme.
234
00:16:39,722 --> 00:16:42,975
If we coordinate on national
ad-buys, organize crossover events,
235
00:16:42,976 --> 00:16:45,644
develop fund-raising apps, I
think it would go a long way...
236
00:16:45,645 --> 00:16:47,604
Maybe, but I doubt the
leadership will go for it.
237
00:16:47,605 --> 00:16:50,023
Which is why I'd like your
support. I set up a meeting.
238
00:16:50,024 --> 00:16:52,151
If you came, and you
supported my position...
239
00:16:52,152 --> 00:16:54,987
I just think they're gonna end up saying
we can't be thinning out our funds
240
00:16:54,988 --> 00:16:58,530
on a national strategy. This is about
fieldwork, getting out the vote.
241
00:16:58,531 --> 00:17:00,575
Right, but isn't it worth
at least some consideration?
242
00:17:00,576 --> 00:17:04,456
Well, you know me, Linda,
I mean, I'm all for bold ideas.
243
00:17:04,457 --> 00:17:08,459
But Birch and Womack, why,
they're... set in their ways.
244
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:10,879
I doubt very seriously that...
245
00:17:13,215 --> 00:17:16,675
Listen, Frank, all I'm asking is that
you play devil's advocate with them.
246
00:17:16,676 --> 00:17:18,218
Sorry, excuse me for a moment.
This is important.
247
00:17:18,219 --> 00:17:19,761
I don't want
to short-shrift this.
248
00:17:19,762 --> 00:17:21,765
No, I know, but I just
have to send this text.
249
00:17:21,766 --> 00:17:23,475
I am busy too.
250
00:17:36,197 --> 00:17:38,280
- Make sure that's an aisle seat.
- Of course.
251
00:17:38,281 --> 00:17:40,158
I don't feel as if you're
taking this very seriously.
252
00:17:40,159 --> 00:17:42,869
Linda, I apologize. I am sorry.
253
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:45,747
You are absolutely right,
I did not mean to sound curt.
254
00:17:45,748 --> 00:17:48,916
And you are right,
this is important.
255
00:17:48,917 --> 00:17:50,583
You and I should
go through your proposal
256
00:17:50,584 --> 00:17:53,003
and discuss it right
down to the last detail.
257
00:17:53,004 --> 00:17:55,630
I am not asking you to go
through it page by page,
258
00:17:55,631 --> 00:17:58,135
just to help me initiate
some meaningful dialogue.
259
00:17:58,136 --> 00:18:01,512
- You can count on my help, Linda.
- Thank you.
260
00:18:01,513 --> 00:18:06,392
- I will have my scheduler reach out to yours.
- Thank you, Linda.
261
00:18:06,393 --> 00:18:08,937
Get me a secure line, please.
262
00:18:11,523 --> 00:18:13,317
[woman] The vice president
is on the line.
263
00:18:16,987 --> 00:18:19,530
Mr. Vice President.
264
00:18:19,531 --> 00:18:23,491
Normally, I would ignore your call,
but I am in a good mood today.
265
00:18:23,492 --> 00:18:27,204
- Not even you could ruin it.
- Are you funneling money to the Republicans?
266
00:18:27,205 --> 00:18:29,455
What on earth
are you talking about?
267
00:18:29,456 --> 00:18:32,000
[Frank] About 20 million
in GOP Super PACs.
268
00:18:32,001 --> 00:18:34,753
You know I never make
political contributions.
269
00:18:34,754 --> 00:18:36,838
That's the fastest way
to upset my investors.
270
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:38,840
I know the money is coming
from a casino in Missouri,
271
00:18:38,841 --> 00:18:40,717
and I know
it's coming from Feng.
272
00:18:40,718 --> 00:18:43,553
[Raymond] Mr. Feng and I have
one co-venture together,
273
00:18:43,554 --> 00:18:44,888
and it has nothing
to do with gambling.
274
00:18:44,889 --> 00:18:46,183
A plane that he owns
275
00:18:46,184 --> 00:18:47,934
flies to Lanagin's casino
276
00:18:47,935 --> 00:18:50,435
- on a regular basis.
- What he does on his own time
277
00:18:50,436 --> 00:18:53,772
- is no business of mine.
- Are you trying to create chaos in the ranks?
278
00:18:53,773 --> 00:18:58,860
[laughs] The Republicans appear to be
doing a fine job of that without my help.
279
00:18:58,861 --> 00:19:02,072
Well, it's not gonna work, Raymond.
It'll bind the Democrats together,
280
00:19:02,073 --> 00:19:06,410
- not pull us apart.
- What has bound them together the past decade has been
281
00:19:06,411 --> 00:19:08,330
the means to achieve a majority.
282
00:19:08,331 --> 00:19:11,874
- If I had to guess...
- He stacked Congress.
283
00:19:11,875 --> 00:19:15,170
The majority I whipped.
284
00:19:17,172 --> 00:19:19,341
So it's been you,
Raymond, all along,
285
00:19:19,342 --> 00:19:23,845
even when Lanagin's money
was coming to us.
286
00:19:23,846 --> 00:19:26,805
You keep making assumptions
that I have denied.
287
00:19:26,806 --> 00:19:29,224
Once the quarterly filings come
out, anybody with a laptop
288
00:19:29,225 --> 00:19:32,229
- is gonna see what's going on.
- The end of September.
289
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:37,233
That's a long way off. But I look
forward to seeing the reports.
290
00:19:37,234 --> 00:19:42,780
Should make for some very interesting
reading two weeks before the midterms.
291
00:19:42,781 --> 00:19:45,531
You cannot bully your way back
to the table, Raymond,
292
00:19:45,532 --> 00:19:47,911
just as you cannot
buy the keys to Congress.
293
00:19:47,912 --> 00:19:51,956
Best of luck keeping your
majority in the House.
294
00:19:51,957 --> 00:19:54,793
I know how much it means to you.
295
00:19:56,628 --> 00:19:58,339
When the money's
coming your way,
296
00:19:58,340 --> 00:20:00,840
you don't ask any questions.
297
00:20:00,841 --> 00:20:04,636
But now it's clear. Lanagin's
never been anything but a front.
298
00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:08,431
Do I tell the president? No.
299
00:20:08,432 --> 00:20:10,765
He'll wonder why I didn't know,
which makes me look uninformed.
300
00:20:10,766 --> 00:20:15,147
Or he'll blame the messenger for involving
him, which makes me look careless.
301
00:20:15,148 --> 00:20:19,025
I know it's a trap.
I must keep this to myself.
302
00:20:19,026 --> 00:20:22,194
He wants to know who
you are buying on behalf of.
303
00:20:22,195 --> 00:20:25,532
It's a hedge fund named
Mercury Capital. It's unlisted.
304
00:20:25,533 --> 00:20:28,369
[speaking foreign language]
305
00:20:32,497 --> 00:20:35,332
They need the names
of the principal investors.
306
00:20:35,333 --> 00:20:37,585
Tell him I have
to protect identities.
307
00:20:37,586 --> 00:20:41,214
[speaking foreign language]
308
00:20:41,215 --> 00:20:44,510
The broker needs more.
He wants a full investor list.
309
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:47,011
Say, um...
310
00:20:47,012 --> 00:20:50,098
Say that the principal investor has
strong ties to the White House.
311
00:20:50,099 --> 00:20:52,476
[speaking foreign language]
312
00:20:55,229 --> 00:20:58,648
And they want to know
if you represent Clayton West.
313
00:20:58,649 --> 00:21:00,734
Clayton West?
314
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,364
[speaking foreign language]
315
00:21:07,365 --> 00:21:09,326
- He's waiting.
- One second.
316
00:21:12,371 --> 00:21:18,167
- [Ayla] What does it say?
- It's about a refinery in China
317
00:21:18,168 --> 00:21:21,504
for rare earth elements.
318
00:21:21,505 --> 00:21:26,008
Tell him yes. Tell him the principal
investor is Raymond Tusk.
319
00:21:26,009 --> 00:21:30,097
[speaking foreign language]
...Raymond Tusk.
320
00:21:34,435 --> 00:21:36,644
[dialing, ringing]
321
00:21:38,439 --> 00:21:40,899
[Doug on voicemail]
This is Doug Stamper...
322
00:21:42,401 --> 00:21:47,029
- What should we serve the Walkers?
- Cyanide.
323
00:21:47,030 --> 00:21:49,991
Saving that for dessert.
What about a main course?
324
00:21:49,992 --> 00:21:54,161
Meat of some sort? Vegetables?
325
00:21:54,162 --> 00:21:57,998
I mean, this isn't really
my area of expertise.
326
00:21:57,999 --> 00:22:01,043
I was thinking,
what about Freddy?
327
00:22:01,044 --> 00:22:05,090
- Ribs?
- Or is that gauche?
328
00:22:06,049 --> 00:22:10,345
No. I like the idea.
329
00:22:12,181 --> 00:22:16,016
Well, we can do the
nice china, gourmet sides.
330
00:22:16,017 --> 00:22:18,686
But I think the ribs
make it more personal.
331
00:22:18,687 --> 00:22:21,482
I'll make the call.
332
00:22:21,483 --> 00:22:25,234
- Any word on the call you're expecting?
- Not yet.
333
00:22:25,235 --> 00:22:28,362
I don't think he's landed.
334
00:22:28,363 --> 00:22:31,740
This is really coming
along, isn't it?
335
00:22:31,741 --> 00:22:34,118
You think it's childish.
336
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,913
I think it's better
than video games.
337
00:22:43,795 --> 00:22:46,923
[man speaking foreign language]
338
00:22:52,804 --> 00:22:58,683
- Do you have my check for $5,000?
- Next time I get a raise.
339
00:22:58,684 --> 00:23:02,938
- Bad luck at the casino?
- So Tusk knows I'm here.
340
00:23:02,939 --> 00:23:07,067
- Daniel Lanagin knows you're here.
- Is Tusk involved?
341
00:23:07,068 --> 00:23:10,403
- Why would I admit that?
- Tusk is in business with you.
342
00:23:10,404 --> 00:23:13,615
You're sending money to Lanagin.
Lanagin's casino is in Tusk's backyard.
343
00:23:13,616 --> 00:23:18,036
You didn't fly halfway around the
world just to confirm suspicions.
344
00:23:18,037 --> 00:23:21,747
- Tell me what you want.
- We want the money to stop flowing to the Republicans.
345
00:23:21,748 --> 00:23:24,668
- And what do I receive?
- I've told you what we want.
346
00:23:24,669 --> 00:23:28,129
- Now it's your turn.
- So you can mislead me again?
347
00:23:28,130 --> 00:23:32,219
Things have changed. We have
nothing to gain by misleading you.
348
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:34,970
Hm...
349
00:23:34,971 --> 00:23:37,599
What do you think of my garden?
350
00:23:39,142 --> 00:23:41,227
It's very beautiful.
351
00:23:41,228 --> 00:23:45,106
When you only talk business,
you stop appreciating beauty.
352
00:23:45,107 --> 00:23:49,151
- I don't have much time for beauty.
- That's a shame.
353
00:23:49,152 --> 00:23:53,821
For people like you to smell the flowers,
some of us have to pull the weeds.
354
00:23:53,822 --> 00:23:57,494
- When do you plan on leaving?
- I haven't bought my return ticket yet.
355
00:23:57,495 --> 00:24:03,541
Good. I'd like to think on this for a night.
And I'm sure you must be exhausted.
356
00:24:03,542 --> 00:24:05,377
Would you do me
the honor of being my guest?
357
00:24:05,378 --> 00:24:10,089
- I'd be very grateful.
- Excellent. You can get some rest.
358
00:24:10,090 --> 00:24:14,052
And if you like, there are many
beautiful things to enjoy here.
359
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:18,431
[woman laughing]
360
00:24:18,432 --> 00:24:20,100
Please.
361
00:24:22,352 --> 00:24:24,396
[phone beeps]
362
00:24:50,631 --> 00:24:52,381
[door opens]
363
00:24:52,382 --> 00:24:55,676
- [man] Sir? Mr. Grayson is here.
- Seth.
364
00:24:55,677 --> 00:24:58,678
You and I haven't really
properly had the chance to sit
365
00:24:58,679 --> 00:25:00,430
and have a chat
since you came on board.
366
00:25:00,431 --> 00:25:02,643
Is there anything
I can be doing better, sir?
367
00:25:02,644 --> 00:25:05,185
No, no. I'm impressed.
368
00:25:05,186 --> 00:25:08,731
You're very smart.
Excellent work ethic.
369
00:25:08,732 --> 00:25:13,860
- But more importantly, you're very observant.
- Information is power.
370
00:25:13,861 --> 00:25:17,239
It was right here in this room
that my...
371
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,701
...wife revealed a great deal of
information to a great number of people.
372
00:25:21,702 --> 00:25:24,536
- Millions of them.
- Sir, if your concern is my knowledge
373
00:25:24,537 --> 00:25:26,374
of any discrepancies,
let me assure you...
374
00:25:26,375 --> 00:25:29,001
Claire and I are private people.
375
00:25:29,002 --> 00:25:31,588
I can understand
why you might mistrust me.
376
00:25:31,589 --> 00:25:34,839
I'm also observant,
like you, Seth.
377
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,719
But I still have my blind spots.
378
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,890
It would have never occurred to
me to reach out to Mrs. Marbury.
379
00:25:43,891 --> 00:25:48,729
Her husband was dead.
He kept no records.
380
00:25:48,730 --> 00:25:54,485
And yet, there it
was in black in white.
381
00:25:54,486 --> 00:25:59,783
I respect the fact that you brought it
to us, that's what got you in the door.
382
00:25:59,784 --> 00:26:05,121
But if you wanna stay,
I need more.
383
00:26:09,543 --> 00:26:11,378
What exactly are you up to?
384
00:26:13,672 --> 00:26:15,756
I was hired by Remy Danton.
385
00:26:15,757 --> 00:26:19,386
He wants anything damaging
that I can find.
386
00:26:21,429 --> 00:26:23,929
- Does he have a copy of the journal?
- No copies.
387
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:27,016
I gave the original to Mrs. Underwood, and
I told him that her story checks out.
388
00:26:27,017 --> 00:26:30,019
- Did you give him anything else?
- I don't have anything else.
389
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:31,604
I wouldn't give it
to him if I did.
390
00:26:31,605 --> 00:26:33,398
Why am I only hearing
about this now?
391
00:26:33,399 --> 00:26:35,608
Well, you're the vice president
of the United States.
392
00:26:35,609 --> 00:26:37,443
Remy works for Raymond Tusk.
393
00:26:37,444 --> 00:26:40,363
That puts me between two
extremely powerful people.
394
00:26:40,364 --> 00:26:43,324
- I had to be careful.
- I'm sure that Remy's offering
395
00:26:43,325 --> 00:26:46,452
- you a great deal of money.
- But that's all he offers.
396
00:26:46,453 --> 00:26:50,122
When I saw you push entitlement
reform through the Senate,
397
00:26:50,123 --> 00:26:54,045
it was clear to me where the real
power in the White House is.
398
00:26:54,046 --> 00:27:00,301
I want to work for a man like you, not sail a yacht.
Money doesn't interest me.
399
00:27:03,889 --> 00:27:06,224
Do you want me to cease contact
with Remy?
400
00:27:06,225 --> 00:27:12,105
No. I want you to find
the blind spots.
401
00:27:13,939 --> 00:27:15,732
- Is he free?
- [woman] For a few minutes.
402
00:27:15,733 --> 00:27:17,901
- Thank you.
- [Christina] Mexico City,
403
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:19,360
where you'll meet
President Soto.
404
00:27:19,361 --> 00:27:20,946
We can practice your Spanish on
the plane.
405
00:27:20,947 --> 00:27:23,866
Hi.
406
00:27:23,867 --> 00:27:26,911
- What is that?
- Frank gave it to me.
407
00:27:26,912 --> 00:27:29,370
- Do you have a minute?
- Yeah, is it important?
408
00:27:29,371 --> 00:27:31,372
I have a meeting with...
When is it?
409
00:27:31,373 --> 00:27:34,541
- He's already in the waiting room.
- The archbishop of New York.
410
00:27:34,542 --> 00:27:37,420
I'm just wondering if we should
bring a gift to dinner tonight.
411
00:27:37,421 --> 00:27:39,923
Yeah, well, it's casual.
Maybe a bottle of wine?
412
00:27:39,924 --> 00:27:42,843
You know them well. Any idea
what sort of wine they like?
413
00:27:42,844 --> 00:27:45,887
Well, not extremely well, but I'm
friendly with their staff...
414
00:27:45,888 --> 00:27:47,430
- I'll figure it out.
- I can make a call.
415
00:27:47,431 --> 00:27:48,807
I'm having a conversation
416
00:27:48,808 --> 00:27:50,308
with my husband, but thank you.
417
00:27:50,309 --> 00:27:53,020
- OK. I apologize.
- I'll see you at the residence.
418
00:27:53,021 --> 00:27:55,231
Seven-thirty.
419
00:28:32,644 --> 00:28:35,354
[speaking foreign language]
420
00:28:35,355 --> 00:28:38,607
No. Not now.
421
00:28:38,608 --> 00:28:42,570
No. Just... Please go.
422
00:28:45,657 --> 00:28:48,869
Get out. Please.
423
00:29:47,343 --> 00:29:51,932
Rachel, it's me. I...
424
00:29:53,641 --> 00:29:57,645
You should answer when I call.
I don't like leaving messages.
425
00:30:00,314 --> 00:30:02,066
- Seth.
- Ayla.
426
00:30:02,067 --> 00:30:03,900
I get 15 minutes to eat,
on a good day.
427
00:30:03,901 --> 00:30:06,235
- Xander Feng.
- Means nothing to me.
428
00:30:06,236 --> 00:30:08,195
Connor told me about a
back-channel with China.
429
00:30:08,196 --> 00:30:10,489
There was speculation it
was a guy named Xander Feng.
430
00:30:10,490 --> 00:30:13,325
- Fourteen minutes, 52 seconds.
- He's in business with Raymond Tusk.
431
00:30:13,326 --> 00:30:16,662
They're working on a refinery in China.
Tusk has ties to the White House.
432
00:30:16,663 --> 00:30:19,123
- Fourteen minutes, 30 sec...
- One of the wealthiest men in America
433
00:30:19,124 --> 00:30:21,500
in business with an
off-the-books Chinese diplomat?
434
00:30:21,501 --> 00:30:24,336
Influence in Washington
never been reported?
435
00:30:24,337 --> 00:30:26,589
The White House pushes rare earth
subsidies when the energy crisis spiked?
436
00:30:26,590 --> 00:30:28,925
Do you have a specific
question for me?
437
00:30:28,926 --> 00:30:30,676
I'd like to ask
the vice president.
438
00:30:30,677 --> 00:30:33,598
A specific question for me,
not an interview request.
439
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:36,767
Does the vice president
know Raymond Tusk?
440
00:30:36,768 --> 00:30:39,685
- Not to my knowledge.
- You're hiding something, Seth.
441
00:30:39,686 --> 00:30:43,650
I'm not hiding anything. I'm
just a guy with low blood sugar.
442
00:30:46,193 --> 00:30:48,529
- Garrett?
- Hm?
443
00:30:50,698 --> 00:30:55,285
- What is it?
- Christina.
444
00:30:55,286 --> 00:30:57,788
She won't leave me alone.
445
00:30:57,789 --> 00:31:00,458
It's like she's trying
too hard to be helpful.
446
00:31:00,459 --> 00:31:04,210
- I'll have Linda talk to her.
- It's not just that.
447
00:31:04,211 --> 00:31:08,215
I feel like it's a mask. I feel like
there's something else going on there.
448
00:31:08,216 --> 00:31:12,636
- Like what?
- Sometimes, when I walk into your office
449
00:31:12,637 --> 00:31:16,056
and see her talking to you...
450
00:31:16,057 --> 00:31:18,434
...and you've been traveling
together so much.
451
00:31:18,435 --> 00:31:22,688
- Jesus, Tricia.
- Oh, not you, her.
452
00:31:22,689 --> 00:31:27,192
I think she's attracted to you.
And she does have a history--
453
00:31:27,193 --> 00:31:30,569
I can't even believe we're
having this conversation.
454
00:31:30,570 --> 00:31:33,489
I want you to relocate her.
Find her another position--
455
00:31:33,490 --> 00:31:35,783
- Absolutely not.
- I know it seems overboard--
456
00:31:35,784 --> 00:31:38,202
She's a good aide.
She's valuable to Linda,
457
00:31:38,203 --> 00:31:40,329
- valuable to the administration.
- I'm your wife.
458
00:31:40,330 --> 00:31:42,874
- I should be more valuable than them.
- Tricia.
459
00:31:42,875 --> 00:31:45,209
I don't understand why you're
fighting me when she bothers me--
460
00:31:45,210 --> 00:31:47,630
We're pulling up to Frank's
in two minutes.
461
00:31:51,092 --> 00:31:53,803
[laughing]
462
00:31:56,139 --> 00:31:58,348
Really, superb, Freddy.
463
00:31:58,349 --> 00:32:01,767
I can honestly say I have
never had better ribs in life.
464
00:32:01,768 --> 00:32:03,895
Well, I'm glad you
liked you them.
465
00:32:03,896 --> 00:32:06,647
You know, I read the article in the
Sun about how you go to Freddy's.
466
00:32:06,648 --> 00:32:09,567
[Freddy] I hope you don't mind me
speaking to that reporter, Frank.
467
00:32:09,568 --> 00:32:11,610
- Not at all.
- Shit, I forgot I'm not supposed
468
00:32:11,611 --> 00:32:13,612
- to call you that.
- I wouldn't let you call me
469
00:32:13,613 --> 00:32:16,281
"vice president" even if you
tried. And I didn't mind at all.
470
00:32:16,282 --> 00:32:17,866
I thought the article was great.
471
00:32:17,867 --> 00:32:20,078
It's been a big bump in business
since it came out.
472
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:22,329
I'm talking lines
around the block.
473
00:32:22,330 --> 00:32:25,583
You're not the only white person
to show up there now.
474
00:32:25,584 --> 00:32:29,505
Well, I'm gonna call it a night. I
got a early start in the morning.
475
00:32:29,506 --> 00:32:33,759
It was a pleasure meeting you,
Mr. President, Mrs. Walker.
476
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,345
- [Walker] A pleasure. Truly.
- [Frank] Thanks, Freddy.
477
00:32:36,346 --> 00:32:39,056
[Freddy] Always.
478
00:32:39,057 --> 00:32:40,848
Oh, no. None,
none for me, thanks.
479
00:32:40,849 --> 00:32:43,059
[Frank] Mr. President, a slice
of pie is good for the soul.
480
00:32:43,060 --> 00:32:46,147
- I'm stuffed.
- You can have a slice of pie.
481
00:32:46,148 --> 00:32:49,108
I'm fine, really,
but thank you, Frank.
482
00:32:49,109 --> 00:32:51,526
I'll have some.
483
00:32:51,527 --> 00:32:54,195
[Claire] For the two of us,
as well.
484
00:32:54,196 --> 00:32:58,532
Oh, now she is gonna make me run another
five miles to work off this puppy.
485
00:32:58,533 --> 00:33:00,868
Are you crazy?
I can barely keep up with you.
486
00:33:00,869 --> 00:33:03,955
- You're so much faster than me.
- You two run together?
487
00:33:03,956 --> 00:33:06,457
[Frank] Yes. It's hard to find the
time, but somehow we find it.
488
00:33:06,458 --> 00:33:09,211
[Claire] We do. And it's something
that's just ours, you know?
489
00:33:09,212 --> 00:33:13,339
Yes. Just ours. And about
eight Secret Service Agents'.
490
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:16,759
[Tricia] That's so nice
that you have that together.
491
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,637
I wish Garrett and I had more
time for things like that.
492
00:33:19,638 --> 00:33:21,639
We did take a spinning class
together once.
493
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,102
- Should've seen Garrett hunched over--
- Please.
494
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,314
- Would you like some more wine?
- I would, thank you.
495
00:33:30,315 --> 00:33:32,608
- I saw the punching bag you gave him.
- [Walker] You know what?
496
00:33:32,609 --> 00:33:36,281
- I will have a slice of pie.
- [Frank] Pie, please, for the president.
497
00:33:39,117 --> 00:33:40,910
[Walker] Thank you.
498
00:33:43,329 --> 00:33:47,498
[woman] I read it front to back. It's good.
It'll cause a shit-storm,
499
00:33:47,499 --> 00:33:50,375
- but maybe that's what we need.
- Not during the midterms.
500
00:33:50,376 --> 00:33:54,255
I don't see how we take flack. We're
trying to curtail rape, for godsakes.
501
00:33:54,256 --> 00:33:57,008
Sure, some right-wingers will
do their usual song and dance--
502
00:33:57,009 --> 00:33:58,676
Hold off. I want
to read it myself first.
503
00:33:58,677 --> 00:34:01,012
We promised the vice president
we'd have cosponsors...
504
00:34:01,013 --> 00:34:03,347
I know what we promised,
and we're gonna stall.
505
00:34:03,348 --> 00:34:05,933
- Don't disseminate the draft.
- But you know the gist of the bill.
506
00:34:05,934 --> 00:34:08,271
- I don't see why we can't--
- Lorrie.
507
00:34:08,272 --> 00:34:11,815
All right,
I'll leave it with you.
508
00:34:11,816 --> 00:34:14,818
- Anything else?
- No. I think we're good.
509
00:34:14,819 --> 00:34:16,861
All right. Then I'm off.
510
00:34:16,862 --> 00:34:21,284
Date night with the husband.
Slit my wrists, please.
511
00:34:22,702 --> 00:34:24,704
Hey, go home at some point, OK?
512
00:34:24,705 --> 00:34:28,124
The Capitol will still
be here in the morning.
513
00:34:57,987 --> 00:35:01,741
[dialing, line ringing]
514
00:35:17,173 --> 00:35:19,926
[Walker] This is
really something.
515
00:35:20,718 --> 00:35:23,178
[Frank] Ways to go yet.
516
00:35:23,179 --> 00:35:25,598
Now, who won this battle?
The North or the South?
517
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:29,393
Massive casualties on both
sides. No clear winner.
518
00:35:29,394 --> 00:35:31,644
How do you find the time?
519
00:35:31,645 --> 00:35:35,275
I carve out a half hour here
and there. Helps me relax.
520
00:35:36,483 --> 00:35:38,276
I've forgotten the meaning
of that word.
521
00:35:38,277 --> 00:35:40,654
Well, that's what the
punching bag is for.
522
00:35:40,655 --> 00:35:42,907
It's very true.
523
00:35:45,659 --> 00:35:49,914
Just a little. Trish and
I should get going soon.
524
00:35:52,125 --> 00:35:55,251
You're never gonna make it through
this first term, Mr. President.
525
00:35:55,252 --> 00:35:59,088
- How do you mean?
- Well, not like this. Letting the stress creep in.
526
00:35:59,089 --> 00:36:01,882
You need to run the marathon,
not the sprint.
527
00:36:01,883 --> 00:36:05,012
You need to enjoy
these little moments of escape.
528
00:36:07,348 --> 00:36:10,268
- You can pour more than that.
- [chuckles]
529
00:36:10,269 --> 00:36:12,603
Thank you.
530
00:36:16,899 --> 00:36:20,152
- This Union or rebel?
- Union, sir.
531
00:36:20,153 --> 00:36:23,697
Enough "sirs" and "Mr.
Presidents." Call me by my name.
532
00:36:23,698 --> 00:36:26,699
I respect the office
too much for that.
533
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:28,117
When we're in private, it's OK.
534
00:36:28,118 --> 00:36:30,328
Tonight, I don't have
to be president.
535
00:36:30,329 --> 00:36:33,707
[Claire] I don't mean to get
involved in your personal life.
536
00:36:33,708 --> 00:36:37,170
Oh, no. I brought it up.
537
00:36:38,171 --> 00:36:40,880
Is this really about Christina?
538
00:36:40,881 --> 00:36:45,218
Or maybe it's just
a symptom of something else?
539
00:36:45,219 --> 00:36:48,848
- Like what?
- I don't know.
540
00:36:53,019 --> 00:36:55,354
I barely see him at all.
541
00:36:55,355 --> 00:36:59,565
He's so wound up in everything
that's going on overseas,
542
00:36:59,566 --> 00:37:02,527
the elections, the economy.
543
00:37:02,528 --> 00:37:05,448
When he was governor,
it wasn't a cakewalk,
544
00:37:05,449 --> 00:37:09,242
but it was nothing like this.
545
00:37:09,243 --> 00:37:13,663
How do you and Frank do it?
You both seem so close.
546
00:37:13,664 --> 00:37:19,210
We're honest with each other. We
don't sweep anything under the rug.
547
00:37:19,211 --> 00:37:23,798
Trish, if it's eating at you,
make him talk about it.
548
00:37:23,799 --> 00:37:29,055
The White House is finite.
Your marriage... is for life.
549
00:37:40,149 --> 00:37:42,527
- Good morning.
- Morning.
550
00:37:42,528 --> 00:37:47,489
- You don't like your soup?
- I'm not good with chopsticks.
551
00:37:47,490 --> 00:37:51,159
[speaking foreign language]
552
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,160
I think you'll like this soup
more than you liked
553
00:37:53,161 --> 00:37:55,373
the two companions
I sent you last night.
554
00:37:55,374 --> 00:37:59,501
I was tired.
555
00:37:59,502 --> 00:38:02,753
Have you had a chance to think
about what we discussed yesterday?
556
00:38:02,754 --> 00:38:08,426
In China, it's polite to refuse a gift the first time.
Maybe I should refuse yours.
557
00:38:08,427 --> 00:38:11,431
We can't offer you a gift
if I don't know what you want.
558
00:38:12,515 --> 00:38:15,434
The Port Jefferson Bridge.
559
00:38:15,435 --> 00:38:17,978
You pulled it,
during the back-channel.
560
00:38:17,979 --> 00:38:21,482
- I changed my mind.
- Why?
561
00:38:23,443 --> 00:38:27,821
I have allies who want the bridge.
Without it, they become my enemies.
562
00:38:27,822 --> 00:38:32,200
- I've been put on trial twice.
- Corruption charges.
563
00:38:32,201 --> 00:38:36,205
Everyone in China who works on this
level pays who they need to pay.
564
00:38:36,206 --> 00:38:39,332
And they kill who
they need to kill.
565
00:38:39,333 --> 00:38:44,130
People disappear all the time, Mr. Stamper.
I could disappear. You could disappear.
566
00:38:46,799 --> 00:38:49,594
Stop the junkets
and we'll get you the bridge.
567
00:38:49,595 --> 00:38:51,511
The bridge comes first.
568
00:38:51,512 --> 00:38:54,014
The vice president
has lied to me before.
569
00:38:54,015 --> 00:38:58,727
I need proof of his commitment.
Then the money will stop.
570
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,066
Please, Mr. Stamper... eat.
571
00:39:05,067 --> 00:39:07,403
You have a long
flight ahead of you.
572
00:39:13,367 --> 00:39:15,867
If it's what you
feel you need to do.
573
00:39:15,868 --> 00:39:18,412
I've had a great experience
here, Mrs. Underwood,
574
00:39:18,413 --> 00:39:21,039
but this is an opportunity
I can't pass up.
575
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,167
- I imagine the pay is substantial.
- It is.
576
00:39:23,168 --> 00:39:26,753
But it's not just that.
There's room to grow at SpaceX.
577
00:39:26,754 --> 00:39:29,510
Well, if your mind's made up, I
won't try and convince you to stay.
578
00:39:29,511 --> 00:39:33,470
The truth is...
when I first came on board,
579
00:39:33,471 --> 00:39:36,263
I thought it was to work
for both you and your husband.
580
00:39:36,264 --> 00:39:39,683
Don't get me wrong, it's been
an honor working for you,
581
00:39:39,684 --> 00:39:42,478
but I didn't foresee
having to work with Seth.
582
00:39:42,479 --> 00:39:45,356
- You're not very fond of each other.
- No.
583
00:39:45,357 --> 00:39:47,568
Which is fine.
We're professionals.
584
00:39:47,569 --> 00:39:50,237
But I think this is
for the best.
585
00:39:50,238 --> 00:39:54,573
Well, the problem with hiring great people
is everyone wants to steal them away.
586
00:39:54,574 --> 00:39:56,535
I appreciate you
being so understanding.
587
00:39:56,536 --> 00:39:59,746
- You'll be missed, Connor.
- Thank you.
588
00:40:05,752 --> 00:40:09,715
Seth, it's me. He just left. Talk
to him and put out a press release.
589
00:40:09,716 --> 00:40:13,385
Let's make this
as smooth as possible.
590
00:40:13,386 --> 00:40:16,013
[man] It's two opportunities
I'm interested in.
591
00:40:16,014 --> 00:40:21,726
A family-oriented restaurant chain,
and a retail barbecue sauce.
592
00:40:21,727 --> 00:40:22,976
What would that look like?
593
00:40:22,977 --> 00:40:24,269
We give you an upfront payment
594
00:40:24,270 --> 00:40:26,021
for the right to use your brand.
595
00:40:26,022 --> 00:40:28,442
Either venture fails,
or if they both do,
596
00:40:28,443 --> 00:40:33,321
- you still get to keep that money.
- How much money we talking?
597
00:40:33,322 --> 00:40:36,616
Ninety-five thousand
as soon as you sign.
598
00:40:36,617 --> 00:40:40,954
And then you'd have a share of
the profits if we're successful.
599
00:40:40,955 --> 00:40:45,166
- What would the shares be?
- I tell you what.
600
00:40:45,167 --> 00:40:48,879
Let me draw up papers, you look them
over, you show them to your lawyer.
601
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,632
- I don't have a lawyer.
- You should get one.
602
00:40:52,633 --> 00:40:55,344
I don't want you to feel
like you're being cheated.
603
00:40:56,345 --> 00:40:58,431
You're skeptical.
604
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:02,894
Look...
605
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,811
Money usually don't
come through that door,
606
00:41:06,812 --> 00:41:09,356
unless it's looking
for a plate of ribs.
607
00:41:09,357 --> 00:41:11,858
And we want to sell
thousands of those plates.
608
00:41:11,859 --> 00:41:13,987
Millions, if the
franchise builds.
609
00:41:13,988 --> 00:41:17,865
The Sun article
put you on the map.
610
00:41:17,866 --> 00:41:21,579
Let's fill up that map
with Freddy's BBQ Joints.
611
00:41:28,210 --> 00:41:31,379
- What are you looking at?
- [man] Excuse me?
612
00:41:31,380 --> 00:41:36,219
The knives are in the kitchen, you have a pistol.
You can stop staring.
613
00:41:40,473 --> 00:41:43,391
Is he in here? Dan!
614
00:41:43,392 --> 00:41:45,518
- How are you?
- Good.
615
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:47,352
- Care for a drink?
- I'm good.
616
00:41:47,353 --> 00:41:49,688
Well, let's go into the
living room. It's more cozy.
617
00:41:49,689 --> 00:41:52,443
- I'm just fine where I am.
- All right. Thank you.
618
00:41:52,444 --> 00:41:54,237
[man] Yes, sir.
619
00:41:57,531 --> 00:42:00,365
I'm sure you've told Raymond
that I asked you here.
620
00:42:00,366 --> 00:42:03,242
- Raymond who?
- Oh, you don't have to pretend, Dan.
621
00:42:03,243 --> 00:42:06,330
- Feng confirmed what you're up to.
- Name doesn't ring a bell.
622
00:42:06,331 --> 00:42:10,167
I have flight records. One of his planes
to Kansas City on multiple occasions.
623
00:42:10,168 --> 00:42:12,251
Do we really have
to play this game?
624
00:42:12,252 --> 00:42:15,798
I came here because I thought you
might have something to offer.
625
00:42:15,799 --> 00:42:17,884
Why don't we just skip
to that part?
626
00:42:20,429 --> 00:42:22,763
You've been
a loyal contributor, Dan.
627
00:42:22,764 --> 00:42:27,645
You've thrown us fund-raisers, there are
pictures of you and I shaking hands.
628
00:42:27,646 --> 00:42:31,481
So whatever you've done this
quarter can be forgotten.
629
00:42:31,482 --> 00:42:35,150
But I need the money to stop
flowing in the wrong direction.
630
00:42:35,151 --> 00:42:39,154
- I'm still waiting for the offer.
- You're a businessman, Dan,
631
00:42:39,155 --> 00:42:41,906
- I know your primary concern is profits.
- That's right.
632
00:42:41,907 --> 00:42:46,286
But I'm offering you something
that's far more valuable than money:
633
00:42:46,287 --> 00:42:50,581
- a direct line to the White House.
- That sounds vague to me.
634
00:42:50,582 --> 00:42:54,378
I have influence over the BIA,
over federal gambling legislation.
635
00:42:54,379 --> 00:42:58,091
The sort of influence that my
contributions have already bought.
636
00:42:58,092 --> 00:43:02,637
Not with my direct involvement
and the president's ear.
637
00:43:02,638 --> 00:43:04,765
You know what
I like about money?
638
00:43:04,766 --> 00:43:08,934
I can stack it on a table,
like this one.
639
00:43:08,935 --> 00:43:11,479
I can measure it
with a yardstick.
640
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:16,317
I can see it, smell it,
buy things with it.
641
00:43:16,318 --> 00:43:21,698
Houses, cars, clothes.
Things that are real.
642
00:43:21,699 --> 00:43:24,744
You're gonna have to show up
with more than beads.
643
00:43:24,745 --> 00:43:28,621
Dan, I invited you to my home
because I thought...
644
00:43:28,622 --> 00:43:32,041
- Through the back door.
- Excuse me?
645
00:43:32,042 --> 00:43:34,376
Through the back door,
like a servant.
646
00:43:34,377 --> 00:43:37,087
The Secret Service makes everyone come in that way.
It's a precautionary measure...
647
00:43:37,088 --> 00:43:40,216
Unless you can offer more money
than Tusk, and I don't think
648
00:43:40,217 --> 00:43:43,095
that you can, there's little
left for us to talk about.
649
00:43:43,096 --> 00:43:47,640
I am offering you an alliance
with a man who goes to work
650
00:43:47,641 --> 00:43:51,936
everyday at
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
651
00:43:51,937 --> 00:43:55,232
I don't place my faith
in any white man.
652
00:43:55,233 --> 00:43:58,984
Especially one that works
for the federal government.
653
00:43:58,985 --> 00:44:01,404
I am just like you, Dan.
654
00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:04,283
I know what it means to start
from nothing, to have to fight--
655
00:44:04,284 --> 00:44:07,869
You know nothing about
what it means to be me.
656
00:44:07,870 --> 00:44:12,498
Your version of nothing was
light-years ahead of where I started.
657
00:44:12,499 --> 00:44:14,418
I respect you, Dan.
I take you seriously--
658
00:44:14,419 --> 00:44:18,964
I'll let you know when I give
a fuck about your respect.
659
00:44:20,215 --> 00:44:22,885
Holliday! Show Lanagin out.
660
00:44:23,844 --> 00:44:26,138
I know where the back door is.
661
00:44:30,392 --> 00:44:34,313
- [clattering]
- Francis?
662
00:44:42,655 --> 00:44:46,826
It's not broken.
I can fix it.
663
00:44:50,578 --> 00:44:53,206
Leave it.
I'll clean up later.
664
00:45:01,256 --> 00:45:06,010
Let's go for a run.
Burn off some of this steam.
665
00:45:11,893 --> 00:45:14,811
Sir?
666
00:45:14,812 --> 00:45:17,980
- I'll be out in a moment.
- I'll go ahead. You catch up.
667
00:45:17,981 --> 00:45:20,398
Why didn't you reach out,
before you got on a plane?
668
00:45:20,399 --> 00:45:22,693
I was afraid our communication
might be monitored.
669
00:45:22,694 --> 00:45:26,072
- Where are we with Lanagin?
- Nowhere. Where are we with Feng?
670
00:45:26,073 --> 00:45:29,743
We might have an option,
but it's gonna be tricky.
671
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,384
