1
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,789
Previously on House of Cards...
2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:05,461
You are daring them.
3
00:00:05,547 --> 00:00:08,130
You've turned it into a spectacle
and now they will not stop.
4
00:00:08,217 --> 00:00:12,131
Believe me. These people will not rest.
You need to make amends.
5
00:00:12,221 --> 00:00:14,929
For slighting her?
For identifying them?
6
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:17,575
- You have to give them something.
- I don't believe in the bill.
7
00:00:17,601 --> 00:00:20,059
Goddamn it. This bill.
Are you listening?
8
00:00:20,145 --> 00:00:22,558
- Vincent Abruzzo.
- Ninth Circuit.
9
00:00:22,648 --> 00:00:25,982
I'm so glad that we finally
have a woman in the Oval Office.
10
00:00:26,276 --> 00:00:28,188
And we've been entwined, you and I.
11
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:31,730
Like it or not, for decades now.
12
00:00:32,366 --> 00:00:34,528
We deserve to go our separate ways.
13
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:36,285
Problem is,
14
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:39,329
we have something urgent to
attend to called Cathy Durant.
15
00:00:40,249 --> 00:00:42,366
And then we can finally be free.
16
00:00:42,501 --> 00:00:44,709
Now, you need my help.
17
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:50,795
Later tonight,
I'm going to watch you sign that bill
18
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:52,875
that's sitting on your desk.
19
00:00:53,303 --> 00:00:57,092
"To the dead, a kingdom means nothing."
20
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,370
I never had sex with a farm animal
or abused a girlfriend,
21
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:53,462
unless you count marrying her.
22
00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:56,757
Let me say, it was tough
23
00:02:58,095 --> 00:03:00,838
narrowing down
my ten most significant cases.
24
00:03:00,931 --> 00:03:06,848
I prefer the smaller questions
of my professional memberships,
25
00:03:06,937 --> 00:03:07,973
my teaching.
26
00:03:08,438 --> 00:03:11,021
Madam President,
just between you and me,
27
00:03:11,108 --> 00:03:14,818
my feeling is that it's not
as far-fetched as some people say.
28
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:21,070
I still think there is a universe
where the ERA gets passed.
29
00:03:23,578 --> 00:03:25,865
Women truly
are the best, aren't they?
30
00:03:31,336 --> 00:03:32,577
I am deeply honored
31
00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:35,163
to be considered
for the late Justice's seat.
32
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:38,583
So, tell me.
33
00:03:41,930 --> 00:03:44,013
How did they buy you? The Shepherds?
34
00:03:44,141 --> 00:03:46,724
Judge Abruzzo, Madam President,
I hate to break this up.
35
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,392
I have already taken
36
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:50,845
too much of
the President's valuable time.
37
00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:52,355
Madam President.
38
00:03:53,942 --> 00:03:55,649
- Mr. Vice President.
- Your Honor.
39
00:03:55,986 --> 00:03:57,898
It has been a sincere pleasure.
40
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:05,277
I'll set up Judge Michaels
for the end of the day tomorrow.
41
00:04:08,206 --> 00:04:10,243
I have Secretary Durant
waiting for you.
42
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:14,373
I felt emasculated.
43
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:16,625
Excuse me?
44
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:20,671
Bill Shepherd guiding my hand.
45
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,711
And you looked emasculated, Mark.
46
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:27,799
You're mistaken.
47
00:04:27,893 --> 00:04:29,930
No, I'm not mistaken.
I watched your face.
48
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:32,353
- Madam President...
- Please don't call me that. Please.
49
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:34,184
- Claire...
- Better.
50
00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:37,774
- Claire...
- Yes? What?
51
00:04:37,861 --> 00:04:39,523
That was not
a fight you were gonna win.
52
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:41,320
- Do you like being the messenger?
- What?
53
00:04:41,406 --> 00:04:44,023
Has this been a dream of some sort
since you were a little boy?
54
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:45,437
Because I can tell you something.
55
00:04:45,494 --> 00:04:49,078
Once you identify
the degree to which you are boxed in,
56
00:04:49,247 --> 00:04:50,863
you'll see how liberating it is.
57
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:52,323
Are you with me,
58
00:04:52,501 --> 00:04:54,663
or are you with those
horrible, horrible people
59
00:04:54,753 --> 00:04:56,164
you've attached yourself to?
60
00:04:56,254 --> 00:04:58,917
Because I can tell you
something about Bill Shepherd.
61
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:00,373
I could smell it on him,
62
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:03,756
the way I could
on my father, on my mother.
63
00:05:04,054 --> 00:05:05,511
He's sick.
64
00:05:05,889 --> 00:05:07,096
Well, he was.
65
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:08,218
He is.
66
00:05:09,601 --> 00:05:11,467
And then where will that leave you?
67
00:05:11,603 --> 00:05:13,845
With her? Annette Shepherd?
68
00:05:14,064 --> 00:05:18,729
I know what that woman is and,
more to the point, isn't capable of.
69
00:05:20,779 --> 00:05:22,020
And that little encounter
70
00:05:22,113 --> 00:05:24,113
with the honorable
Judge Abruzzo at the fundraiser,
71
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:26,065
that was orchestrated too, wasn't it?
72
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:27,195
Yes.
73
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:33,202
I look at him sometimes
and imagine him at six years old.
74
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:37,206
Was he always so deliberative?
Cautious?
75
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,499
And I think in another life,
some other context,
76
00:05:42,884 --> 00:05:44,420
might we have been friends?
77
00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:49,676
It's time to decide, Mark.
78
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:53,639
I hold every president
to the same standard.
79
00:05:53,728 --> 00:05:59,144
Are you making America better,
or are you making America worse?
80
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:00,816
That's all that matters.
81
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:02,981
Excuse me?
Could you turn this off, please?
82
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:05,859
- Yes, sir.
- The level of discourse in this city.
83
00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:07,318
I'm telling you.
84
00:06:07,409 --> 00:06:09,275
She does have a point.
85
00:06:09,953 --> 00:06:13,321
You need to tell Duncan to be careful
when it comes to his pit bull.
86
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:17,245
City.
87
00:06:18,253 --> 00:06:20,836
FDR turned this place into a city
88
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:25,049
with his agencies and
armies of clerks.
89
00:06:25,135 --> 00:06:26,797
All the professors that followed.
90
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:29,720
Before the war,
this was just a small southern town.
91
00:06:30,307 --> 00:06:31,969
One built of marble, yeah,
92
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:35,472
but just a small town
sitting on a swamp.
93
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:37,182
A place to visit.
94
00:06:38,690 --> 00:06:41,273
A place to protect the Republic.
95
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,851
Secure states' rights.
96
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:47,733
That's not what it is today.
97
00:06:48,283 --> 00:06:50,195
Some top-down money grab for
98
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:53,153
bureaucrats, lobbyists
and the entire Democratic Party.
99
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,657
You've always been more Teddy.
100
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:57,035
Than that traitor pig, Franklin?
101
00:06:57,125 --> 00:07:01,290
Look, I know it's a sacrifice
for you to be here in Washington,
102
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:04,463
but for God's sake,
why take the same room he was in?
103
00:07:04,549 --> 00:07:07,337
Well... Well,
he wanted to keep an eye on her.
104
00:07:09,596 --> 00:07:11,929
Francis never could
let go of the White House.
105
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:15,224
But he did give us the
opportunity we've been waiting for.
106
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:17,723
But she's not qualified.
107
00:07:18,647 --> 00:07:20,388
She stole the damn thing.
108
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:24,434
If ever there was a chance
to shrink the office down to size,
109
00:07:24,653 --> 00:07:26,861
it's the presidency
of Claire Underwood.
110
00:07:27,906 --> 00:07:29,989
Maybe you should run for office.
111
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:32,408
Ah, I think that time has passed.
112
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:36,904
I'm worried about you.
113
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:39,290
Don't be.
114
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:41,708
Never better.
115
00:07:45,006 --> 00:07:50,627
Deregulation bill, it's the first
of a hundred, ready and waiting.
116
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:53,674
The speed you're moving at...
117
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,641
I can come back.
118
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:00,348
The lawyers are due any minute.
119
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:01,974
No, no, no. Come on in here.
120
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:03,806
Grab yourself a cup of something.
121
00:08:04,025 --> 00:08:06,358
I know, Annette wanted to
talk to you in person
122
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:07,935
before the rest of the team arrives.
123
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:10,442
I passed on what you
told me about the President.
124
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:13,525
I wanted you to have it all before
Duncan got his hands on it.
125
00:08:13,702 --> 00:08:16,115
She admitted to
all three of the abortions.
126
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:18,533
But I can get you
the names of the men.
127
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:19,659
Who they were.
128
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:20,994
No.
129
00:08:21,084 --> 00:08:22,666
I'm not comfortable with this.
130
00:08:22,919 --> 00:08:24,785
Let's take that
off the table for now.
131
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:27,918
She'll play along.
We'll make sure of it.
132
00:08:37,809 --> 00:08:40,267
I always imagined that
if I were president,
133
00:08:40,395 --> 00:08:42,887
I would want you
to be a member of my cabinet.
134
00:08:44,816 --> 00:08:46,307
You look like a movie star.
135
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:47,937
Well, it's the glare.
136
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:50,145
I get migraines since the fall.
137
00:08:50,238 --> 00:08:51,854
They can come on quite suddenly.
138
00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:53,359
I'm sorry to hear that.
139
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:57,906
Vice President said that
you wanted to meet me in person.
140
00:08:59,998 --> 00:09:01,330
It's so good to see you.
141
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:03,411
Sit.
142
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:11,336
Not everyone comes back
from a fall like that, Cathy.
143
00:09:11,426 --> 00:09:12,462
Yes.
144
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:15,090
I'm starting to feel
like a proverbial cat.
145
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:19,382
Take off your glasses.
Let me see your eyes.
146
00:09:26,941 --> 00:09:29,024
You have no shortage of stories.
147
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:30,438
You know that.
148
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:33,734
My memory's been very erratic lately.
149
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:36,782
Sometimes, I think
I might just forget the details
150
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,906
of my time in office altogether if...
151
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:42,450
If?
152
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:46,951
Honestly, I would love nothing more
153
00:09:47,045 --> 00:09:50,004
than to just move on,
Madam President.
154
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:53,253
Well, I understand that
you have a job offer.
155
00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:55,087
Several. I'm lucky.
156
00:09:55,386 --> 00:09:58,504
The Eisenhower Strategic Initiative,
isn't it?
157
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,260
Yes, a think tank makes sense.
158
00:10:00,350 --> 00:10:01,466
Outside of government...
159
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,141
Well, not entirely outside.
160
00:10:03,561 --> 00:10:04,893
And heavily funded by...
161
00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:08,643
A coalition of industrialists
and civic-minded folk, yes.
162
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:10,767
Big plans to change the world.
163
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:15,108
I haven't accepted.
164
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:16,780
But you want to.
165
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:20,526
You think I shouldn't take the job?
166
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:23,704
I think you should
trust your gut, Cathy.
167
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:26,915
Take care of yourself.
168
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:31,875
Claire...
169
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:37,297
I'm sorry
I didn't write after Francis...
170
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:39,094
There's no need to apologize.
171
00:10:41,808 --> 00:10:46,098
I can still feel his hand on my back.
172
00:10:47,939 --> 00:10:49,931
Cathy, he's gone.
173
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:56,608
Bill Shepherd got to her.
174
00:10:56,948 --> 00:10:58,280
I can feel it.
175
00:10:58,366 --> 00:10:59,698
She's going to testify.
176
00:10:59,951 --> 00:11:02,364
My lawyers tell me
her team is still negotiating,
177
00:11:02,453 --> 00:11:03,785
maybe for a while yet.
178
00:11:03,955 --> 00:11:06,288
She thinks she's
safe with them, with this job.
179
00:11:06,374 --> 00:11:08,582
Instead, they're
gonna be sentencing her to...
180
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:16,670
It needs to look like
complications from her fall.
181
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:18,459
I can have her detail pulled.
182
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:20,297
I still know some people.
183
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:22,383
The opportunity will present itself.
184
00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:28,761
One last piece
connecting us both to Francis.
185
00:11:31,983 --> 00:11:34,726
The world is either
with us or against us, Doug.
186
00:11:47,624 --> 00:11:49,286
You think you'll ever wear them?
187
00:11:52,003 --> 00:11:53,335
Doesn't feel right.
188
00:11:53,421 --> 00:11:55,413
Do you know
the last thing he said to me?
189
00:11:55,965 --> 00:12:00,130
"Promise me you and Doug
will take care of each other."
190
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:08,634
I want to thank the National Gallery
191
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:10,811
for curating
this magnificent exhibit.
192
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:13,764
Our hope is, in due time,
193
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:16,976
these works of art
will return to their rightful place
194
00:12:17,487 --> 00:12:21,447
in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.
195
00:12:25,954 --> 00:12:26,990
Mr. Nasser.
196
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,618
They're making a fool of you,
these Shepherds.
197
00:12:29,707 --> 00:12:31,994
The special interests.
The go-betweens.
198
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:35,419
Your so-called peacekeeping in Syria
was a shameless land grab
199
00:12:35,505 --> 00:12:37,167
built on the lives
of American soldiers
200
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:38,418
you sent into battle.
201
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:42,343
Then you can blame
Jane Davis, Mr. Nasser.
202
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:43,506
I do.
203
00:12:44,222 --> 00:12:47,715
I had hoped to renegotiate the deal
Jane helped broker many months ago.
204
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:50,305
Now I know that's impossible.
205
00:12:51,145 --> 00:12:53,558
Because
she's conveniently unavailable.
206
00:12:53,648 --> 00:12:55,981
Because you're
in no position to do so.
207
00:12:56,067 --> 00:12:58,024
You've been excluded, just as I have.
208
00:12:58,111 --> 00:12:59,943
They're stripping power from you.
209
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,363
Have you ever seen
the Baathist playbook?
210
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:06,074
It was inspired by
American intelligence agencies.
211
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:09,286
Sometimes, you need to be
an insurgent in your own country.
212
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:11,725
Well, that's interesting.
Because presently I'm meeting with
213
00:13:11,749 --> 00:13:13,991
a member of a
known terrorist organization.
214
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:16,831
Pardon me, but I'm a lawyer.
215
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,955
If you allow
American corporate interests
216
00:13:19,048 --> 00:13:20,448
to cut ICO out of Syria's future...
217
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:22,966
Are you about to
threaten me, Mr. Nasser?
218
00:13:23,052 --> 00:13:26,170
No, but we all know
what ICO is capable of.
219
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:29,055
I'm merely conveying a message
from one of my clients.
220
00:13:29,142 --> 00:13:32,601
You and your client
are one and the same.
221
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:37,184
Americans have
such faith in their ability
222
00:13:37,275 --> 00:13:38,937
to keep things and people safe.
223
00:13:42,238 --> 00:13:46,482
Mr. Nasser, Syria is a country of
224
00:13:46,951 --> 00:13:50,661
former schools, former homes,
former places of worship.
225
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:53,868
Your organization played
a large part in the destruction.
226
00:13:54,709 --> 00:13:56,541
And so have you, Madam President.
227
00:13:58,046 --> 00:13:59,537
I'm afraid I can't help you.
228
00:14:00,757 --> 00:14:04,125
No, you can't.
229
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:15,852
I got two daughters,
a beautiful wife.
230
00:14:16,439 --> 00:14:19,432
Paid my dues. Four terms.
231
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,527
A Republican in a diverse district.
232
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,614
I got a ground operation,
second to none.
233
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,317
And my volunteers,
their sons and their daughters,
234
00:14:30,411 --> 00:14:32,011
are coming up
right behind 'em. I just...
235
00:14:32,955 --> 00:14:34,491
I just feel like...
236
00:14:36,751 --> 00:14:38,458
This could be my moment, you know?
237
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:41,837
Fred told me about the legislation
about to be introduced.
238
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,417
I'm co-signing. It's...
239
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,837
Ambitious, it's unprecedented.
240
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:52,589
It's bipartisan is what it is.
241
00:14:52,809 --> 00:14:54,016
You worked for her.
242
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,305
I worked for her husband.
243
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:59,684
Nobody wants her hands
on a nuclear football.
244
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:02,645
Or sending any more
uniforms anywhere, here or abroad.
245
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,279
You're gonna have to be
okay with that. Are you?
246
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:10,616
I owe her nothing.
247
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:16,788
So, what do they have on you?
248
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:20,500
Hold on, slugger.
249
00:15:22,713 --> 00:15:24,796
I'm still trying to
get acquainted, here.
250
00:15:27,218 --> 00:15:28,299
Right.
251
00:15:28,386 --> 00:15:30,048
Where do you think you're going?
252
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:31,800
Fred Amburg asked me to meet you.
253
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:33,505
Well, Fred asked me to meet you.
254
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:34,635
And we've met.
255
00:15:36,561 --> 00:15:38,018
Where do you get off?
256
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:40,228
After where you've been.
257
00:15:40,481 --> 00:15:41,597
You mean where I was.
258
00:15:42,191 --> 00:15:43,398
With Mr. Amburg.
259
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:45,271
The last person you worked for...
260
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:47,694
Became the
President of the United States.
261
00:15:47,905 --> 00:15:50,147
He pushed you out.
262
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:54,072
I am your chance.
263
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,202
You know, not that
I have to prove myself to you,
264
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:00,328
or to anyone else,
265
00:16:01,252 --> 00:16:02,788
but I can find the opening,
266
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:06,626
the crack, the weak spot.
267
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:08,669
I don't know,
268
00:16:09,218 --> 00:16:11,460
maybe it's a curse
to know what people fear.
269
00:16:13,181 --> 00:16:14,217
Like you.
270
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:16,965
I think what scares you, Congressman,
271
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,019
your base,
your ground game, all that love,
272
00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:22,933
you thought you deserved it,
273
00:16:23,858 --> 00:16:25,895
that it was meant for you
and nobody else.
274
00:16:27,028 --> 00:16:28,144
You got blind.
275
00:16:29,238 --> 00:16:31,070
You forgot that they'd come for you.
276
00:16:32,366 --> 00:16:33,527
But they will come.
277
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:36,443
That's how this business is built.
278
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:40,534
So, I'm gonna ask you again.
279
00:16:42,084 --> 00:16:43,791
What is it that they have on you?
280
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:52,584
My district covers O'Hare.
281
00:16:54,805 --> 00:16:55,841
Pensions.
282
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:58,724
The baggage handlers. I...
283
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:03,891
Shit.
284
00:17:08,653 --> 00:17:09,689
It was stupid.
285
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:14,693
It's only stupid
if you can't make it go away.
286
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:22,364
Tom, calm down.
287
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:24,450
I'm getting too old to be polite.
288
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:27,082
Hear the deal out.
Content will not be changed.
289
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,254
And you and I both know better.
290
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:33,542
Something happened that night.
291
00:17:34,095 --> 00:17:37,008
Their marriage was broken,
he went over there.
292
00:17:37,098 --> 00:17:40,967
I'm not saying they're connected,
but the next day, he winds up dead.
293
00:17:41,269 --> 00:17:42,976
She knew an indictment was coming.
294
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:45,554
Do you understand what that means?
295
00:17:45,648 --> 00:17:46,809
Then keep writing.
296
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:50,108
So they can turn it into
140 characters for clickbait?
297
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:54,063
We don't write anymore,
we come up with feed for the trough.
298
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,527
Put that goddamn thing down
before I smash it!
299
00:17:56,826 --> 00:18:00,194
You need to
go back in there and apologize.
300
00:18:01,038 --> 00:18:03,371
To whom, Dayna?
301
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:08,126
Our new boss
is a voice on a speaker phone!
302
00:18:08,713 --> 00:18:10,454
He doesn't even know I walked out.
303
00:18:11,382 --> 00:18:15,626
Why don't we
write about how Gardner Analytics
304
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:17,544
is buying up television stations
305
00:18:17,638 --> 00:18:19,971
and some of the
greatest papers in this country?
306
00:18:21,392 --> 00:18:22,428
Analytics?
307
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:26,850
Oh, my God,
what the fuck does that even mean?
308
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:33,894
According to the autopsy,
natural causes.
309
00:18:34,989 --> 00:18:36,070
Heart attack?
310
00:18:36,198 --> 00:18:38,190
Overdose of his liver medication.
311
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:40,567
Accidental, presumably.
312
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:45,489
What aren't you telling me?
313
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:46,619
Nothing.
314
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:50,957
He would never do that intentionally.
315
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:54,001
Witnesses in the
lobby of the Hay-Adams
316
00:18:54,091 --> 00:18:57,050
that night said the former President
was acting disoriented.
317
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:59,344
Did you share this with his widow?
318
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:01,513
She's the one
who asked me to look into it.
319
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:03,765
She suspects the Shepherds.
320
00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:06,388
He was with them a lot,
but not that night.
321
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:08,349
And who was?
322
00:19:08,439 --> 00:19:09,646
Other than her?
323
00:19:12,276 --> 00:19:13,858
That was her husband, Doug.
324
00:19:15,071 --> 00:19:16,357
She's the President.
325
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:19,655
Don't you sound devoted, Nathan.
326
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:22,863
My only contact with her
is in my official capacity.
327
00:19:24,288 --> 00:19:26,280
Did you think
you'd seen the last of me?
328
00:19:28,376 --> 00:19:30,242
That's the last thing I thought.
329
00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:34,212
I'll take that as a compliment.
330
00:19:35,633 --> 00:19:38,341
Doug. Here.
331
00:19:40,805 --> 00:19:44,469
I tracked his comings and goings
back to when he left the White House.
332
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:48,476
I got my hands on the metadata
going into his computer.
333
00:19:50,398 --> 00:19:53,937
LeAnn Harvey's camera phone
was streaming during the crash.
334
00:19:55,653 --> 00:19:57,940
A direct feed to only one IP address.
335
00:19:58,698 --> 00:19:59,779
Francis's.
336
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:01,156
His laptop.
337
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:04,238
It's not easy to watch, but...
338
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:06,907
Okay.
339
00:20:07,164 --> 00:20:08,200
Up to you.
340
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,921
Mr. Hammerschmidt.
341
00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:26,886
Duncan Shepherd.
342
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:30,636
I'm sorry I couldn't be at
the meeting in person this afternoon.
343
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:38,814
My walker
drops him off when it's late.
344
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:42,109
Come.
345
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:47,869
You saw my little outburst?
346
00:20:50,541 --> 00:20:51,702
I enjoyed it.
347
00:20:52,626 --> 00:20:53,662
The outrage.
348
00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:55,498
We need more of it.
349
00:20:55,588 --> 00:20:58,797
I especially liked your appearance
on television the other night.
350
00:20:58,883 --> 00:21:03,093
Yeah, well,
I get a little heated sometimes.
351
00:21:03,179 --> 00:21:05,512
It's exactly the
kind of exposure the Herald needs.
352
00:21:08,976 --> 00:21:11,889
Tom, you're now
part of a conglomerate
353
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:13,891
with vast influence and reach.
354
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:21,186
The point is, I can bring you
whatever evidence you need.
355
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,316
Hold on.
356
00:21:22,406 --> 00:21:23,613
Divorce for pardon,
357
00:21:23,699 --> 00:21:26,237
there's a kernel of truth to it.
But your source...
358
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:31,030
And before you say anything,
consider what I'm offering.
359
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:32,580
An opportunity for justice.
360
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,955
If you're talking about
manufacturing evidence, Mr. Shepherd,
361
00:21:36,045 --> 00:21:37,081
I'm not interested.
362
00:21:37,171 --> 00:21:38,207
Beg to differ.
363
00:21:38,422 --> 00:21:41,039
And spare me the
seasoned journalist routine, please.
364
00:21:41,258 --> 00:21:42,749
Your 30 years in the business.
365
00:21:43,677 --> 00:21:45,760
I've spoken to
your old assistant, Angela.
366
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:48,338
She's written a piece
about her time with you.
367
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:49,931
I could run it, or...
368
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,432
Your dogged pursuit
of Frank Underwood,
369
00:21:54,522 --> 00:21:56,935
pardon the pun,
is now your pursuit of his bride.
370
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:02,731
Think about it.
371
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:08,154
Men your age,
they unravel very easily these days.
372
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:14,872
Judge Vincent Abruzzo
has the credentials.
373
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:17,201
The published writings,
the public statements.
374
00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:19,707
It all checks out. Full package.
375
00:22:19,964 --> 00:22:22,297
So what's the hesitation, Madam Prez?
376
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:25,376
Beltway Television
is owned by Gardner Analytics.
377
00:22:25,469 --> 00:22:27,711
It's the latest brainchild
of Duncan Shepherd.
378
00:22:27,805 --> 00:22:30,889
So far, I've deflected all questions
regarding Ms. Cruz's commentary.
379
00:22:30,975 --> 00:22:32,637
Good. Let's not dignify it.
380
00:22:41,402 --> 00:22:43,234
No, no. That's fine, thank you.
381
00:22:45,239 --> 00:22:47,151
They were a hazard,
I couldn't resist.
382
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,072
Sorry I missed the funeral.
383
00:22:52,162 --> 00:22:53,198
Were there Psalms?
384
00:22:53,289 --> 00:22:54,325
Number 42.
385
00:22:54,623 --> 00:22:56,114
I love 42.
386
00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:02,503
Nasser had no business
coming to you directly.
387
00:23:04,091 --> 00:23:06,754
Well, I knew if I met with him,
you'd suddenly appear.
388
00:23:07,177 --> 00:23:08,884
He feels lied to, Jane.
389
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:10,595
Because he was.
390
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:14,258
We were never gonna give
those bandits a seat at the table.
391
00:23:15,185 --> 00:23:17,552
Jane, he's threatened
more ICO attacks.
392
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:19,892
ICO is neutralized, mostly.
393
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,982
It's time to rethink
our involvement in Syria.
394
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:24,309
Stand down, rebuild.
395
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:27,821
This deal is important for all of us.
396
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,731
Including the Shepherds.
397
00:23:30,326 --> 00:23:32,318
Look, I'm no fan of that family,
398
00:23:33,162 --> 00:23:36,496
but in the case of Syria,
our interests align.
399
00:23:36,665 --> 00:23:39,749
The next phase
of our presence in the region
400
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:43,204
is more about
the spoils than the peace.
401
00:23:43,714 --> 00:23:47,628
The problem is Petrov,
whom the Shepherds and I despise.
402
00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:49,078
What do you have on the Shepherds?
403
00:23:50,220 --> 00:23:54,009
I'm sure one of the several agencies
you're involved with has something.
404
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:56,724
And don't you keep files
on everyone you're dealing with?
405
00:23:57,603 --> 00:23:59,515
Bill and Annette are very careful.
406
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:01,517
And what about Annette's son, Duncan?
407
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:05,604
Well, Mark knows them more than I do.
408
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:12,908
I thought there were better options
for a former president,
409
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:16,577
but Annette
wouldn't leave Frank alone.
410
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:20,749
That's their problem.
They don't know when to stop.
411
00:24:23,045 --> 00:24:24,314
You know,
when you left three months ago,
412
00:24:24,338 --> 00:24:25,795
I wondered where you'd gone.
413
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:28,423
And then...
414
00:24:29,176 --> 00:24:30,712
I didn't think of you at all.
415
00:24:32,763 --> 00:24:33,799
You say that.
416
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:38,050
But I detect
pain in your eyes, Madam President.
417
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:43,475
"As a deer longs
for streams of water..."
418
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:45,731
"...so I long for You, God."
419
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,560
Do you miss him?
420
00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:52,106
God? Always.
421
00:24:58,247 --> 00:25:01,035
I'd like you to move in here with me,
Jane, into the White House.
422
00:25:01,625 --> 00:25:02,911
I need your counsel
423
00:25:03,711 --> 00:25:06,454
and your perspective,
when it comes to Mark.
424
00:25:10,009 --> 00:25:12,717
The truth is, that whole last year
in the White House,
425
00:25:14,054 --> 00:25:15,295
I just lost myself.
426
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:20,759
The crazy thing is,
I've never even met Zoe Barnes.
427
00:25:21,395 --> 00:25:23,352
Is that what
you told the U.S. Attorney?
428
00:25:23,439 --> 00:25:25,977
Or did you and
Claire Underwood make a deal?
429
00:25:26,066 --> 00:25:28,353
The President and I
are on different paths.
430
00:25:29,153 --> 00:25:30,985
You're saying you haven't seen her?
431
00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:32,521
We've spoken.
432
00:25:33,615 --> 00:25:35,777
I just don't see
a role for me in her White House.
433
00:25:38,162 --> 00:25:39,994
I'm working with Congressman Cole.
434
00:25:41,623 --> 00:25:43,239
He's making a play for Speaker.
435
00:25:50,049 --> 00:25:51,540
I left the Herald today.
436
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:57,717
If that's why you wanted to see me,
make a pitch for your new guy.
437
00:25:57,806 --> 00:25:59,297
No.
438
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:01,257
No, this is about making amends.
439
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:03,009
Last fall, I started drinking again.
440
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:07,268
No. You picked this place because
it's full of bloggers and hill rats.
441
00:26:07,608 --> 00:26:11,192
Right now, everyone here
can see us talking together,
442
00:26:11,278 --> 00:26:12,439
like civilized people,
443
00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:14,566
as if I never
called you a murderer in print.
444
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:21,198
Your latest article on Francis.
445
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:23,496
This story about the nights
leading up to his death?
446
00:26:23,624 --> 00:26:24,956
You want to make amends?
447
00:26:25,042 --> 00:26:26,203
Who are your sources?
448
00:26:27,294 --> 00:26:28,330
Peter Russo.
449
00:26:29,171 --> 00:26:30,207
Zoe Barnes.
450
00:26:31,048 --> 00:26:32,255
LeAnn Harvey.
451
00:26:36,136 --> 00:26:41,052
Doug, there isn't a shadow
for you to hide in anymore.
452
00:26:42,059 --> 00:26:44,551
The only person
who knows everything is you.
453
00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:45,969
I don't.
454
00:26:48,315 --> 00:26:49,351
Let him go.
455
00:26:53,987 --> 00:26:55,507
I don't know
what you're talking about.
456
00:26:59,326 --> 00:27:02,069
At some point,
you're gonna have to decide.
457
00:27:04,414 --> 00:27:06,997
Claire Underwood, believe me,
458
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,244
she'll come for you when it's time.
459
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,876
Thanks.
460
00:27:27,062 --> 00:27:28,519
You know, there's caffeine in that.
461
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:31,143
I do.
462
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:35,526
I love that you
love Arnold Palmer, but...
463
00:27:36,029 --> 00:27:37,986
Arnold Palmer was a great man.
464
00:27:40,617 --> 00:27:42,358
She still on your mind?
465
00:27:47,166 --> 00:27:48,702
This arrangement isn't working.
466
00:27:51,211 --> 00:27:52,327
Which arrangement?
467
00:27:53,547 --> 00:27:54,708
Mark, come to bed.
468
00:27:57,384 --> 00:27:59,842
She needs to feel
some degree of autonomy.
469
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:01,503
Fuck autonomy.
470
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,342
She serves at our pleasure.
471
00:28:03,432 --> 00:28:05,264
I'm sure she feels undervalued.
472
00:28:05,475 --> 00:28:08,889
Undervalued? Claire Hale? Please.
473
00:28:09,062 --> 00:28:10,724
What if Bill doesn't get better?
474
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:15,437
He is better.
475
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:18,356
If we don't play this right,
476
00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:20,814
in the public eye,
we are doomed to fail.
477
00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:21,944
You know that, right?
478
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:23,195
She's doomed, you mean.
479
00:28:23,285 --> 00:28:24,321
Look.
480
00:28:25,996 --> 00:28:27,112
Let's be clear.
481
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:30,950
I am not attracted to her,
but she needs to see me as a partner,
482
00:28:31,501 --> 00:28:33,458
and what is the rush?
483
00:28:35,005 --> 00:28:36,997
Bill wants a majority on the court.
484
00:28:37,090 --> 00:28:39,002
He's waited a long time.
485
00:28:40,469 --> 00:28:42,586
Let her at least
look like the president.
486
00:28:43,931 --> 00:28:46,173
I'll scuttle the nomination,
if it comes to that, later.
487
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:49,593
I want Judge Abruzzo, Mark.
488
00:28:49,978 --> 00:28:52,265
And don't ever
question my brother's ability
489
00:28:52,356 --> 00:28:54,268
to function at the highest level.
490
00:28:57,152 --> 00:28:59,109
What is that Sylvia Plath line?
491
00:29:00,155 --> 00:29:01,862
She eats men like air.
492
00:29:02,449 --> 00:29:04,156
Who are we talking about?
493
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:14,917
Hey.
494
00:29:15,003 --> 00:29:16,585
Sorry we missed each other yesterday.
495
00:29:16,672 --> 00:29:19,790
Well, my apologies for leaving you
in the lurch again today.
496
00:29:19,883 --> 00:29:20,999
Everything okay?
497
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:22,334
I spoke to Annette.
498
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:24,009
I really think
this is the best course.
499
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:27,634
Did you ever meet George?
500
00:29:27,724 --> 00:29:28,805
George?
501
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:32,560
My brother, George. Incurious George?
502
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:34,179
No, I never did.
503
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:35,600
And back in the old days,
504
00:29:35,691 --> 00:29:38,024
we acquired an operation
in the Midwest,
505
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,521
refining Canadian crude.
506
00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:41,186
Profit margin was...
507
00:29:41,947 --> 00:29:43,279
It was staggering.
508
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:47,401
But George,
he got all high-minded about it.
509
00:29:48,161 --> 00:29:51,654
Thought that we were
bending too many laws.
510
00:29:51,748 --> 00:29:54,161
So he bought a rival company,
511
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:57,163
green energy type, and he sued us.
512
00:29:58,213 --> 00:29:59,329
Sued us.
513
00:30:00,257 --> 00:30:02,670
I mean, the betrayal.
514
00:30:04,011 --> 00:30:07,550
My father's true religion was family.
515
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:09,680
And he was troubled.
516
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:12,850
He was deeply troubled
by what George had done.
517
00:30:12,936 --> 00:30:14,017
Changed his will.
518
00:30:15,147 --> 00:30:17,480
Any sibling
bringing litigation against
519
00:30:17,566 --> 00:30:18,977
any other at the time
520
00:30:19,067 --> 00:30:22,481
of his death would automatically
lose their share of the inheritance.
521
00:30:23,071 --> 00:30:24,812
Every damnable penny.
522
00:30:25,991 --> 00:30:27,277
He used that word.
523
00:30:28,285 --> 00:30:30,527
Which is exactly
what happened to George.
524
00:30:31,288 --> 00:30:33,575
Well, George couldn't believe it.
525
00:30:34,249 --> 00:30:37,117
Accused me of
tricking Dad into doing it
526
00:30:37,210 --> 00:30:39,327
when he was
too weak to know his own mind.
527
00:30:39,421 --> 00:30:42,960
My father always knew his own mind.
528
00:30:43,925 --> 00:30:44,961
George...
529
00:30:46,887 --> 00:30:49,254
He was just so broken up about it,
530
00:30:51,641 --> 00:30:53,257
didn't even contest the will.
531
00:30:53,977 --> 00:30:55,388
Which, as far as I see it,
532
00:30:55,479 --> 00:30:58,722
means he had no place inheriting
that kind of money to begin with.
533
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:02,396
The man had
everything he ever needed,
534
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:04,186
he was just so...
535
00:31:05,572 --> 00:31:06,688
Short-sighted.
536
00:31:09,284 --> 00:31:11,446
Lives on some island in Maine now.
537
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:14,287
You know what
the worst part for me was?
538
00:31:14,998 --> 00:31:16,739
How much it upset Annette.
539
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:19,917
That was a no-go.
540
00:31:21,588 --> 00:31:23,124
I'll get the nomination, Bill.
541
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:25,756
Bye-bye now, Mark.
542
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:35,432
They were good enough
to provide me with
543
00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:37,181
a direct feed from the hall.
544
00:31:42,526 --> 00:31:43,812
Is this necessary?
545
00:31:44,027 --> 00:31:45,143
Inhale.
546
00:31:48,448 --> 00:31:49,564
You ever see Giselle?
547
00:31:57,666 --> 00:31:59,077
Don't look at me like that.
548
00:31:59,626 --> 00:32:01,037
The results aren't all bad.
549
00:32:04,548 --> 00:32:06,164
I'm being watched.
550
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:07,798
By whom?
551
00:32:08,176 --> 00:32:10,839
Tom Hammerschmidt,
the U.S. Attorney.
552
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:13,880
It's a feeling that
I've had for a while.
553
00:32:16,226 --> 00:32:17,262
Hello?
554
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:18,889
I'm here.
555
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:22,309
It's too risky.
556
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:26,267
If Francis had asked,
you'd have found a way.
557
00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:29,024
That's true.
558
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:31,484
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
559
00:32:32,576 --> 00:32:34,943
I guess this is where
we part ways, Doug.
560
00:32:36,204 --> 00:32:37,240
It's for the best.
561
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:39,364
Then say goodbye.
562
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:47,463
You know what the
last thing he said to me was?
563
00:32:49,259 --> 00:32:51,876
"I can't imagine a world
with only one of you in it."
564
00:33:03,899 --> 00:33:05,982
There comes a point
in every relationship
565
00:33:06,067 --> 00:33:07,183
where you wonder,
566
00:33:07,569 --> 00:33:08,730
"Are you with me?"
567
00:33:11,865 --> 00:33:12,901
Are you?
568
00:33:14,409 --> 00:33:17,868
So, there are some loose ends that
Bill Shepherd is trying to exploit,
569
00:33:18,038 --> 00:33:20,451
one being Cathy Durant.
570
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:23,658
And I have known each other
for a very long time.
571
00:33:23,793 --> 00:33:24,829
I know.
572
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:28,121
Well, the last time I saw Cathy,
she looked at death's door.
573
00:33:31,593 --> 00:33:33,129
You can't ask that of me.
574
00:33:34,971 --> 00:33:36,428
She trusts you, Jane.
575
00:33:37,766 --> 00:33:38,927
She trusts you.
576
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:42,935
That's making a move
in broad daylight.
577
00:33:45,023 --> 00:33:46,434
I enjoy having you here.
578
00:33:51,613 --> 00:33:53,605
I'll never be able to forgive myself.
579
00:33:58,745 --> 00:34:00,452
And when you told him about LeAnn?
580
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:02,030
He showed no emotion, ma'am.
581
00:34:02,916 --> 00:34:03,952
Where is he now?
582
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:05,161
Still at home.
583
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:07,289
I have a couple
of agents trailing him.
584
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:10,463
As far as the Bureau is concerned,
it's for Doug's own safety.
585
00:34:12,259 --> 00:34:16,253
And besides Congressman Cole,
has he met with anyone?
586
00:34:16,346 --> 00:34:18,838
Other than myself, Tom Hammerschmidt.
587
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:24,684
Perhaps you should be the one on him.
588
00:34:25,188 --> 00:34:27,931
In case we need to
find him alone at some point.
589
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,188
I continue to be very concerned
about his state of mind.
590
00:34:32,362 --> 00:34:33,398
Yes, ma'am.
591
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:41,948
Francis left him everything
in his handwritten will.
592
00:34:43,123 --> 00:34:44,864
Am I curious? Yes.
593
00:34:46,001 --> 00:34:49,460
But not enough to wait for
Douglas Stamper to bring me down.
594
00:34:50,797 --> 00:34:53,756
Secretary Durant,
Ms. Davis is in the back.
595
00:34:54,134 --> 00:34:55,170
Where's Sal?
596
00:34:55,260 --> 00:34:58,719
He's off. My name is Giancarlo.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
597
00:34:59,347 --> 00:35:00,428
Right this way.
598
00:35:03,059 --> 00:35:04,516
Very slow today.
599
00:35:16,698 --> 00:35:17,734
Please.
600
00:35:33,923 --> 00:35:36,540
I'm sorry.
601
00:35:36,635 --> 00:35:38,321
- Madam Secretary, please.
- I'm sorry. I'm...
602
00:35:38,345 --> 00:35:39,677
Madam Secretary?
603
00:36:01,201 --> 00:36:02,237
Hey.
604
00:36:02,327 --> 00:36:05,161
Jane, how could you?
How could you do this to me?
605
00:36:05,246 --> 00:36:07,246
- Listen to me, sweetheart.
- No, you listen to me.
606
00:36:07,332 --> 00:36:08,413
Is this Claire?
607
00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:10,575
Are you doing this for her?
608
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:11,705
Cathy.
609
00:36:11,795 --> 00:36:14,253
Once the decision is made,
you can't escape.
610
00:36:14,464 --> 00:36:16,000
Maybe it won't happen today.
611
00:36:16,091 --> 00:36:18,299
But someday.
612
00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:20,839
Someday, I'm afraid...
613
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:22,465
I curse you.
614
00:36:23,807 --> 00:36:27,926
I curse you
and wish you a painful death.
615
00:36:28,937 --> 00:36:32,521
Drawn out and excruciating.
616
00:36:33,274 --> 00:36:34,810
I don't want to disappoint you.
617
00:36:35,402 --> 00:36:36,984
That's not how I'm gonna die.
618
00:36:37,904 --> 00:36:41,068
Well. We'll see, won't we?
619
00:37:10,729 --> 00:37:14,097
I've been thinking
about the nomination.
620
00:37:17,444 --> 00:37:18,855
You should go with Abruzzo.
621
00:37:27,662 --> 00:37:30,029
We could get
beaten up in the midterms
622
00:37:30,623 --> 00:37:32,535
if the wrong signals are sent.
623
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:39,129
It's the way to be
a two-term president.
624
00:37:40,175 --> 00:37:42,417
There's still
a lot we can accomplish.
625
00:37:44,804 --> 00:37:46,466
You're such a strange animal.
626
00:37:48,516 --> 00:37:50,257
You've never been
comfortable in your skin
627
00:37:50,351 --> 00:37:52,013
since you've been Vice President.
628
00:37:53,354 --> 00:37:54,686
Why did you even try?
629
00:37:59,152 --> 00:38:00,518
I believe in you.
630
00:38:03,072 --> 00:38:04,358
Well, that's not enough.
631
00:38:07,076 --> 00:38:08,612
I'll leave you to your movie, then.
632
00:38:10,747 --> 00:38:12,507
What does Annette
have to say about all this?
633
00:38:15,335 --> 00:38:16,701
I know you're close to her.
634
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,127
I won't betray her.
635
00:38:20,757 --> 00:38:22,293
Just like I won't betray you, Claire.
636
00:38:23,259 --> 00:38:24,591
They got us, you know?
637
00:38:43,655 --> 00:38:44,935
We should make the announcement.
638
00:38:46,366 --> 00:38:47,482
Abruzzo.
639
00:39:03,174 --> 00:39:04,540
You can start the film.
640
00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:50,302
She's already met with
the EPA Regional Administrator,
641
00:39:50,430 --> 00:39:51,591
looking for memos.
642
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:54,382
Hard disks have been scrubbed
and there's nothing in the cloud.
643
00:39:54,642 --> 00:39:56,850
There's no paper trail,
virtual or otherwise.
644
00:39:59,314 --> 00:40:00,350
Skorsky?
645
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,976
She was with the Herald.
646
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:03,895
She left when
I joined the White House.
647
00:40:03,985 --> 00:40:06,102
It's just a local paper.
We can acquire it.
648
00:40:06,279 --> 00:40:08,521
This isn't about
the President grandstanding.
649
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,447
She's talking to someone.
650
00:40:11,576 --> 00:40:12,612
Duncan...
651
00:40:12,702 --> 00:40:14,694
We should save the app
for the midterms.
652
00:40:14,996 --> 00:40:17,204
Well, do you trust
what you've built or not?
653
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:18,531
I don't want it exposed.
654
00:40:18,625 --> 00:40:20,161
She signed up for the app.
655
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:22,584
We can get into her phone,
take a look around.
656
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:26,171
Would you gentlemen excuse us?
657
00:40:26,716 --> 00:40:28,628
No, stay. Bill?
658
00:40:36,893 --> 00:40:38,304
She wants to see me.
659
00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:42,221
Nope.
660
00:40:43,399 --> 00:40:46,517
She says Mark is no longer
a viable vice president.
661
00:40:46,611 --> 00:40:48,398
He's not communicating her wishes.
662
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:51,064
She wants to deal directly with me.
663
00:40:51,908 --> 00:40:54,651
She's in no position
to demand anything.
664
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:01,032
My God.
665
00:41:01,668 --> 00:41:03,125
You want to meet with her.
666
00:41:03,753 --> 00:41:05,369
She's still the President.
667
00:41:06,005 --> 00:41:07,621
Who had three abortions,
668
00:41:08,633 --> 00:41:10,625
lied to the American people
about one.
669
00:41:10,718 --> 00:41:12,755
I told you,
I'm not willing to use that.
670
00:41:16,391 --> 00:41:18,053
Then you'll use the other thing.
671
00:41:19,727 --> 00:41:21,093
What Mark told us.
672
00:41:23,982 --> 00:41:25,018
Sealed.
673
00:41:25,233 --> 00:41:26,895
The case was pretty typical.
674
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:28,813
Prep school drugs.
675
00:41:29,445 --> 00:41:31,732
Duncan Shepherd
was rich enough to get off,
676
00:41:31,948 --> 00:41:34,190
but the other boy, not so lucky.
677
00:41:35,326 --> 00:41:37,534
But the transcript.
678
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:40,491
Fascinating read.
679
00:41:40,581 --> 00:41:41,822
Painful, really.
680
00:41:45,753 --> 00:41:46,960
Ms. Shepherd's here.
681
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:48,253
Please send her in.
682
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:52,045
Annette.
683
00:41:52,135 --> 00:41:55,003
Claire. Jane.
684
00:41:55,388 --> 00:41:56,424
Annette,
685
00:41:56,681 --> 00:41:59,469
I'm honored we've
graduated to a first name basis.
686
00:41:59,892 --> 00:42:01,599
Surnames can be a burden.
687
00:42:01,686 --> 00:42:02,722
That's funny.
688
00:42:03,312 --> 00:42:05,178
I've always loved mine.
689
00:42:05,481 --> 00:42:06,722
What about you, Claire?
690
00:42:06,816 --> 00:42:07,932
You gave yours up.
691
00:42:08,026 --> 00:42:09,062
Exactly.
692
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,976
You feel more like an Underwood?
693
00:42:11,863 --> 00:42:14,651
Well, like you said,
surnames can be a burden.
694
00:42:15,825 --> 00:42:18,693
I like your lady quotes.
695
00:42:18,995 --> 00:42:22,113
What is woman? De Beauvoir question.
696
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:23,788
That's right. From The Second Sex?
697
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:25,366
Remember that class, Annette?
698
00:42:26,044 --> 00:42:28,161
How strange it was, as a teenager,
699
00:42:28,254 --> 00:42:31,292
to be taught feminism
by a man, in French.
700
00:42:31,632 --> 00:42:32,839
I hated that book.
701
00:42:33,384 --> 00:42:34,966
Long-winded, for sure.
702
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:39,176
But you gotta admit,
she was right about everything.
703
00:42:47,940 --> 00:42:48,976
Work with me.
704
00:42:50,777 --> 00:42:53,019
Directly, without a middleman.
705
00:42:53,279 --> 00:42:56,238
What use is Mark
if he can't be effective?
706
00:42:56,324 --> 00:42:57,735
Mark can be very effective.
707
00:42:57,992 --> 00:42:59,824
Well, but both sides are unhappy.
708
00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:02,286
The Supreme Court.
709
00:43:02,371 --> 00:43:06,081
This is a choice
that outlives any presidency.
710
00:43:06,542 --> 00:43:07,623
Exactly.
711
00:43:08,044 --> 00:43:11,458
But also part of
what defines a presidency.
712
00:43:11,547 --> 00:43:12,628
Of course.
713
00:43:13,216 --> 00:43:14,582
So I can't be...
714
00:43:17,011 --> 00:43:19,253
I will consider any informed opinion.
715
00:43:20,181 --> 00:43:21,262
But I...
716
00:43:21,682 --> 00:43:22,798
You understand.
717
00:43:24,102 --> 00:43:26,344
The decision has to be mine, Annie.
718
00:43:29,315 --> 00:43:30,931
No one calls me that anymore.
719
00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:34,059
Your son, how old is he now?
720
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:40,691
Twenty-seven, no, 28.
721
00:43:40,785 --> 00:43:42,777
I always seem to
make him a year younger.
722
00:43:42,995 --> 00:43:44,861
He always did look young for his age.
723
00:43:46,249 --> 00:43:47,911
Especially his juvenile mugshot.
724
00:43:48,709 --> 00:43:50,245
Such a baby face.
725
00:43:52,004 --> 00:43:53,495
So, you'll speak to Bill?
726
00:43:56,384 --> 00:43:57,625
I don't need to.
727
00:43:59,554 --> 00:44:02,137
You're the President.
You should do what you want.
728
00:44:03,057 --> 00:44:04,639
That's what I keep thinking.
729
00:44:05,893 --> 00:44:08,101
Do you remember
how much fun we used to have
730
00:44:08,604 --> 00:44:10,391
before we understood the rules?
731
00:45:02,033 --> 00:45:04,491
Look, let's not let it all
break down here, okay?
732
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:06,889
Correct me if I'm wrong, but
you've never had a foothold like this
733
00:45:06,913 --> 00:45:08,279
in the White House. So...
734
00:45:08,372 --> 00:45:10,455
You want to save her or fuck her?
735
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:12,449
Either way, do it on your time.
736
00:45:12,543 --> 00:45:13,624
Don't make it personal.
737
00:45:15,421 --> 00:45:17,128
Don't insult me.
738
00:45:20,509 --> 00:45:21,750
Shut her down.
739
00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:23,506
Show it to her.
740
00:45:24,222 --> 00:45:25,633
That's what Bill and I want.
741
00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:26,839
And you'll do it.
742
00:45:27,058 --> 00:45:28,094
No.
743
00:45:30,061 --> 00:45:31,472
I'm not asking.
744
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:33,098
The fallout from that...
745
00:45:33,606 --> 00:45:34,642
Not my concern.
746
00:45:34,732 --> 00:45:36,098
It will be your concern.
747
00:45:43,908 --> 00:45:45,319
You're on your own now.
748
00:45:46,285 --> 00:45:48,777
- No, no, we're done.
- Don't...
749
00:45:50,748 --> 00:45:51,784
Annette?
750
00:45:56,796 --> 00:45:59,288
The reign of the
middle-aged white man is over.
751
00:46:00,049 --> 00:46:03,793
The Bill Shepherds of the world
who won't let go, have to go.
752
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:07,838
The waitress who filmed it works for
the Shepherd Freedom Foundation.
753
00:46:07,932 --> 00:46:09,218
They were hoping to use the clip
754
00:46:09,308 --> 00:46:11,516
when it came to
Judge Abruzzo's confirmation.
755
00:46:13,145 --> 00:46:14,181
Okay, thank you.
756
00:46:15,106 --> 00:46:17,348
Have you heard
from Tom Yates, Kelsey?
757
00:46:18,776 --> 00:46:19,937
No...
758
00:46:20,194 --> 00:46:22,060
You were friendly with him, right?
759
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:25,363
I haven't heard from Tom
in a long time.
760
00:46:26,075 --> 00:46:28,943
And your coworkers,
have they asked about him at all?
761
00:46:29,036 --> 00:46:30,072
Now and then.
762
00:46:30,538 --> 00:46:32,279
He used to roam around down there.
763
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:33,617
Everyone liked him.
764
00:46:34,959 --> 00:46:37,121
Well, I had my
national security team look into it.
765
00:46:37,211 --> 00:46:38,702
And they tracked him down. It seems
766
00:46:38,796 --> 00:46:42,255
he's been using his credit card
in and around Prague, apparently.
767
00:46:42,425 --> 00:46:43,711
I'm glad to hear it.
768
00:46:45,011 --> 00:46:46,968
And, no, because I was worried.
769
00:46:47,513 --> 00:46:50,472
We used to talk a lot,
and then it just stopped.
770
00:46:52,101 --> 00:46:54,514
Did you ever read anything
he was working on,
771
00:46:54,729 --> 00:46:57,472
besides the speeches
that he wrote for me?
772
00:46:57,565 --> 00:46:59,147
No, just the early stuff.
773
00:47:01,068 --> 00:47:03,731
Cathy. Stan.
774
00:47:05,531 --> 00:47:07,238
Oh, my God.
775
00:47:08,909 --> 00:47:10,070
That's all for now.
776
00:47:11,579 --> 00:47:12,865
When did it happen?
777
00:47:14,332 --> 00:47:15,868
I'm so, so sorry.
778
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,667
No, the last conversation
I had with her,
779
00:47:19,754 --> 00:47:21,461
she was talking about her new job
780
00:47:22,673 --> 00:47:25,165
and what a great opportunity
it was going to be.
781
00:48:20,064 --> 00:48:21,145
Madam President.
782
00:48:21,982 --> 00:48:24,099
Forgive me for calling so late.
783
00:48:25,611 --> 00:48:30,106
I've just been informed
that Catherine Durant is dead.
784
00:48:32,326 --> 00:48:35,660
It's an embolism, they're saying.
Connected to her fall.
785
00:48:37,665 --> 00:48:41,830
I want to thank you, Doug,
so much for your help.
786
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:49,416
It's a shame.
787
00:48:51,303 --> 00:48:52,760
It's a terrible shame.
788
00:48:54,348 --> 00:48:58,763
Yes, a terrible, terrible shame.
789
00:49:00,312 --> 00:49:01,428
She will be missed.
790
00:50:00,164 --> 00:50:01,200
Mark?
791
00:50:01,749 --> 00:50:03,456
Apologies for disturbing your run.
792
00:50:03,542 --> 00:50:04,578
What's happened?
793
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:06,625
- Can we have a word in private?
- Of course.
794
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:08,749
It's okay, Steve.
My detail's cleared the area.
795
00:50:09,173 --> 00:50:10,664
Good. Okay, they're clear.
796
00:50:10,841 --> 00:50:12,048
Where are we going?
797
00:50:26,273 --> 00:50:27,389
You have 20 seconds.
798
00:50:28,442 --> 00:50:32,152
I can get rid of this,
or the cops will find him.
799
00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:40,527
You've run out of options,
Madam President.
800
00:50:43,624 --> 00:50:44,910
I understand.
