1
00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:07,865
[reporter 1]
...a longstanding source...
2
00:00:07,866 --> 00:00:09,574
[reporter 2] Underwood will
speak before the committee
3
00:00:09,575 --> 00:00:11,200
today regarding
the allegations...
4
00:00:11,201 --> 00:00:12,953
[reporter 3]
While little is being released
5
00:00:12,954 --> 00:00:14,830
to the public, the
vice president's statement...
6
00:00:14,831 --> 00:00:16,497
The vice president just entered
the Department of Justice.
7
00:00:16,498 --> 00:00:17,917
We're here with Ayla Sayyad,
8
00:00:17,918 --> 00:00:19,626
whose
Wall Street Telegraph article
9
00:00:19,627 --> 00:00:21,962
catalyzed the investigation.
Ayla.
10
00:00:21,963 --> 00:00:25,007
The issue at stake is whether the
White House was in any way involved.
11
00:00:25,008 --> 00:00:27,175
Was foreign money traded
for political favors?
12
00:00:27,176 --> 00:00:29,427
Did it influence
diplomatic relations?
13
00:00:29,428 --> 00:00:32,430
Just the act of laundering Chinese
contributions is illegal.
14
00:00:32,431 --> 00:00:36,392
If it had a significant impact on White House
policy, that's a far more serious crime.
15
00:00:36,393 --> 00:00:40,066
You've met with Daniel Lanagin
on multiple occasions.
16
00:00:40,067 --> 00:00:44,778
We were in the same room, yes,
on 11 occasions since 2003.
17
00:00:44,779 --> 00:00:48,114
But we only spoke
on three of those occasions.
18
00:00:48,115 --> 00:00:51,994
- Those instances are highlighted.
- What did you discuss?
19
00:00:51,995 --> 00:00:56,372
These were fund-raisers.
I speak to dozens of people.
20
00:00:56,373 --> 00:00:59,374
Usually about nothing at all.
I'm Southern, Ms. Dunbar.
21
00:00:59,375 --> 00:01:02,838
My mother taught me that conversation
during mealtime is not only polite,
22
00:01:02,839 --> 00:01:05,090
it aids the digestive process.
23
00:01:05,091 --> 00:01:08,675
So you didn't speak to him about
the Adohi Tribe's contributions
24
00:01:08,676 --> 00:01:11,053
- to any of these super PACS?
- Absolutely not.
25
00:01:11,054 --> 00:01:15,390
I never discuss super PACs with any supporters.
We both know the law.
26
00:01:15,391 --> 00:01:17,851
During one of these
polite conversations,
27
00:01:17,852 --> 00:01:21,312
do you recall Mr. Lanagin
ever mentioning Xander Feng?
28
00:01:21,313 --> 00:01:24,108
- I do not.
- Does that name mean anything to you?
29
00:01:24,109 --> 00:01:26,068
Other than being plastered
all over the news?
30
00:01:26,069 --> 00:01:28,990
In that regard, it means
as much as Kim Kardashian.
31
00:01:28,991 --> 00:01:31,157
[soft laughter]
32
00:01:31,158 --> 00:01:35,327
Then let me be more specific.
What knowledge do you have
33
00:01:35,328 --> 00:01:38,873
of Mr. Feng's political
activities?
34
00:01:38,874 --> 00:01:44,921
- Is this coming from your husband, or is it...?
- From me.
35
00:01:44,922 --> 00:01:47,340
And it's not that I don't
support the bill anymore.
36
00:01:47,341 --> 00:01:49,425
It's just the article.
37
00:01:49,426 --> 00:01:51,676
We've promised
Matt an interview.
38
00:01:51,677 --> 00:01:55,346
Maybe in a few weeks, once the
investigation has died down.
39
00:01:55,347 --> 00:01:57,640
The New York Times
isn't going to wait for us.
40
00:01:57,641 --> 00:02:00,187
They've already scheduled the cover
for October, based on our timing--
41
00:02:00,188 --> 00:02:03,731
Then I can't be a part of it.
42
00:02:03,732 --> 00:02:06,526
- It's the Galloway nonsense, isn't it?
- Claire, come on.
43
00:02:06,527 --> 00:02:11,363
It's OK. You can say so.
We're friends.
44
00:02:11,364 --> 00:02:13,491
- It doesn't help.
- You don't actually believe--
45
00:02:13,492 --> 00:02:15,242
No.
46
00:02:15,243 --> 00:02:18,038
But enough of the
country still does.
47
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:22,168
And Garrett needs every bit of
support he can get right now.
48
00:02:24,377 --> 00:02:26,670
So there's no convincing you?
49
00:02:26,671 --> 00:02:31,343
I'll help you as much
as I can, quietly.
50
00:02:33,803 --> 00:02:37,181
[Dunbar] There are rumors that you
and Mr. Feng served as back channels
51
00:02:37,182 --> 00:02:40,642
- to the trade summit last May.
- Exactly. Rumors.
52
00:02:40,643 --> 00:02:43,229
[Dunbar] We have Feng
in the US during the summit.
53
00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:46,439
If he was back-channeling,
and even if I were aware,
54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,858
any form of diplomatic communication
is usually classified.
55
00:02:48,859 --> 00:02:51,111
Have you ever discussed Feng
with the president?
56
00:02:51,112 --> 00:02:53,696
Any major player in Beijing
is worthy of discussion.
57
00:02:53,697 --> 00:02:56,616
- [Dunbar] So that's a yes.
- It's a general comment.
58
00:02:56,617 --> 00:02:58,785
Did you discuss him
during the energy crisis?
59
00:02:58,786 --> 00:03:01,080
[Frank] I assume you're alluding
to his refinery co-venture--
60
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:04,041
- Yes, with Raymond Tusk.
- The refinery was never part of our conversation.
61
00:03:04,042 --> 00:03:08,378
We needed an immediate solution. A refinery
would've solved nothing in the short term.
62
00:03:08,379 --> 00:03:10,546
And it's my understanding
that deal fell through.
63
00:03:10,547 --> 00:03:12,423
Correct. But Tusk
did receive a subsidy.
64
00:03:12,424 --> 00:03:14,968
As did every other
nuclear energy provider.
65
00:03:14,969 --> 00:03:17,637
[Dunbar] But his connection with
Feng, then a subsidy on samarium--
66
00:03:17,638 --> 00:03:21,015
Nobody made any profits off these subsidies.
At best they're breaking even.
67
00:03:21,016 --> 00:03:23,311
In fact, Raymond
fought us on the issue.
68
00:03:23,312 --> 00:03:27,983
[Dunbar] Then let's back up to
the Port Jefferson Bridge.
69
00:04:55,531 --> 00:04:58,917
Sync and corrections by n17t01
www.addic7ed.com
70
00:05:07,999 --> 00:05:10,750
I don't blame her.
It's a valid concern.
71
00:05:10,751 --> 00:05:13,461
Tell him I won't engage on Galloway,
so there's no point in asking.
72
00:05:13,462 --> 00:05:16,839
This is Matt Bai, we can't dictate
what he'll ask. And he will ask.
73
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:18,883
Then I'll just say I won't
answer tabloid questions.
74
00:05:18,884 --> 00:05:22,390
It's a legitimate question, how the
scandal could affect the vote.
75
00:05:22,391 --> 00:05:26,433
Look, I say you pull out too.
We scrap the whole piece.
76
00:05:26,434 --> 00:05:30,019
Jackie's fighting us. The
leadership is noncommittal.
77
00:05:30,020 --> 00:05:32,400
We need this article
to refocus attention.
78
00:05:32,401 --> 00:05:36,986
But it'll hurt you, both your
personal image and the bill.
79
00:05:36,987 --> 00:05:40,280
But if we cut the cord, we schedule
two interviews then we cancel,
80
00:05:40,281 --> 00:05:43,283
won't Matt be furious? The story
will be about pulling out.
81
00:05:43,284 --> 00:05:45,118
We're talking about
the lesser of two evils.
82
00:05:45,119 --> 00:05:47,036
I don't want you to become
the target, to undo all--
83
00:05:47,037 --> 00:05:48,830
Then what if
it's not me at all?
84
00:05:48,831 --> 00:05:52,250
- You said the First Lady wasn't--
- Not her. Someone else.
85
00:05:52,251 --> 00:05:55,920
Was the bridge a trade-off to
prevent additional GOP funding?
86
00:05:55,921 --> 00:05:59,425
As far as I know, the bridge
was a delivery on a promise
87
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:02,846
the president had made to the
voters. Are we finished here?
88
00:06:02,847 --> 00:06:04,888
Almost.
89
00:06:04,889 --> 00:06:07,765
How many members of Congress have you
interviewed, Ms. Dunbar? About 200?
90
00:06:07,766 --> 00:06:10,560
- One hundred ninety-four.
- I want to be of help,
91
00:06:10,561 --> 00:06:13,648
but I doubt I can offer any more
than the 194 that preceded me.
92
00:06:13,649 --> 00:06:17,735
- I have gotten some useful testimony.
- From who?
93
00:06:17,736 --> 00:06:20,069
- A high-ranking House member.
- In the leadership?
94
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:22,322
- I'm not at liberty to say.
- Bob Birch? Jackie Sharp?
95
00:06:22,323 --> 00:06:26,200
This individual says he attended a
meeting, July 14th, in the Oval Office.
96
00:06:26,201 --> 00:06:28,454
She said "he."
So it must have been Birch.
97
00:06:28,455 --> 00:06:30,790
I'm sure Raymond had no trouble
buying him off.
98
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:33,126
You attended that meeting also.
99
00:06:36,588 --> 00:06:39,172
- It appears so.
- You recall the subject of that meeting?
100
00:06:39,173 --> 00:06:42,050
A wave of conservative attack
ads. We were being outspent.
101
00:06:42,051 --> 00:06:44,135
[Dunbar] It must have been quite
a shock when Lanagin's tribe
102
00:06:44,136 --> 00:06:46,137
shifted contributions
to the other party,
103
00:06:46,138 --> 00:06:48,765
when they hadn't given a single dime
to the Republicans before that.
104
00:06:48,766 --> 00:06:51,684
It would've been a shock, but we didn't
know where the money was coming from.
105
00:06:51,685 --> 00:06:53,438
- According to my source--
- Bob Birch.
106
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:57,024
My source says the estimate
was 25 million.
107
00:06:57,025 --> 00:07:00,819
You said, and I quote:
"With this kind of influx,
108
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:03,738
you can be sure somebody
isn't playing by the rules."
109
00:07:03,739 --> 00:07:06,950
Sounds like something I might say.
Bob has a better memory than me.
110
00:07:06,951 --> 00:07:10,036
The money stopped just after the
Port Jefferson Bridge was approved.
111
00:07:10,037 --> 00:07:12,705
Is there a theory here, or are
you just grasping at straws?
112
00:07:12,706 --> 00:07:16,084
The bridge leads to Feng.
Feng gives me Lanagin and Tusk.
113
00:07:16,085 --> 00:07:20,755
- Tusk and the President--
- Ms. Dunbar, you want to play six degrees of separation,
114
00:07:20,756 --> 00:07:22,717
you could throw in Jimmy Hoffa
and the pope.
115
00:07:22,718 --> 00:07:26,178
How about one degree
of separation.
116
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:28,223
Douglas Stamper,
your chief of staff.
117
00:07:28,224 --> 00:07:31,475
This is him at Lanagin's casino,
July 14th.
118
00:07:31,476 --> 00:07:35,020
I used these to get a warrant
for flight records.
119
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:39,441
The next day, Mr. Stamper
was on a flight to Beijing.
120
00:07:39,442 --> 00:07:43,821
Why was he at the casino?
And why was he in Beijing?
121
00:07:43,822 --> 00:07:47,575
- [man] I would like to speak to my client.
- [Dunbar] Please.
122
00:07:49,577 --> 00:07:51,996
[Doug] I work hard.
123
00:07:51,997 --> 00:07:56,418
I keep things simple.
I know what my priorities are.
124
00:07:57,836 --> 00:08:03,132
But there's this... this person.
125
00:08:03,133 --> 00:08:07,345
She's not even in my life, except on
the edges making things blurrier.
126
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:13,474
It doesn't tempt me to drink.
It's more like she...
127
00:08:13,475 --> 00:08:16,688
More like she feels what it was
like when I was drinking.
128
00:08:16,689 --> 00:08:20,441
When I couldn't get enough.
129
00:08:20,442 --> 00:08:24,195
No matter how many drinks I had,
I wanted another.
130
00:08:27,032 --> 00:08:29,451
I don't want to be with her.
131
00:08:31,411 --> 00:08:33,746
I mean, I do.
132
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:35,790
But...
133
00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:41,462
...it's more like
she's my daughter.
134
00:08:41,463 --> 00:08:45,382
Or my mother.
I don't know, this is fucked up.
135
00:08:45,383 --> 00:08:47,468
[woman] Take your time.
136
00:08:47,469 --> 00:08:52,849
I should cut her off,
the way I did with booze.
137
00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:59,438
That's all. I'm done.
138
00:08:59,439 --> 00:09:01,856
- [woman] Thanks for sharing.
- [group] Thanks for sharing.
139
00:09:01,857 --> 00:09:03,983
[man] We'll need time before
responding to your questions.
140
00:09:03,984 --> 00:09:06,486
- I can wait as long as necessary.
- It could take a while.
141
00:09:06,487 --> 00:09:08,321
There are national security
matters at stake.
142
00:09:08,322 --> 00:09:10,073
The vice president needs to
consult with his advisors.
143
00:09:10,074 --> 00:09:11,950
National security?
Are you really going
144
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:13,536
- to play that card, Oliver?
- His answers could entail
145
00:09:13,537 --> 00:09:15,120
classified material.
146
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:18,039
- When can we expect a response?
- I'll let you know.
147
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,583
- May we hold onto the screen cap?
- Be my guest.
148
00:09:20,584 --> 00:09:23,002
- We'll be in touch soon, Ms. Dunbar.
- Mr. Vice President.
149
00:09:23,003 --> 00:09:25,129
If you think you're
insulated, don't.
150
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:27,590
Our investigation is much
bigger than Douglas Stamper.
151
00:09:27,591 --> 00:09:31,388
- That's enough, Ms. Dunbar.
- Thank you for your time, Mr. Vice President.
152
00:09:31,389 --> 00:09:33,722
Happy to cooperate.
153
00:09:37,352 --> 00:09:40,020
[reporters clamoring]
154
00:09:40,021 --> 00:09:42,856
From the lion's den
to a pack of wolves.
155
00:09:42,857 --> 00:09:47,487
When you're fresh meat, kill and
throw them something fresher.
156
00:09:52,575 --> 00:09:54,536
Hey, I'm Fitz.
157
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:57,663
Doug.
158
00:09:57,664 --> 00:10:02,085
You know, you can isolate,
white-knuckle this shit if you want.
159
00:10:02,086 --> 00:10:06,005
Or you can ask for help.
You got a sponsor?
160
00:10:06,006 --> 00:10:10,676
No, it's been 14 years.
I'm good.
161
00:10:10,677 --> 00:10:13,555
Number's on the back
if you change your mind.
162
00:10:22,439 --> 00:10:24,274
I thought you had a driver.
163
00:10:24,275 --> 00:10:29,695
I do, but I didn't want him
overhearing anything.
164
00:10:29,696 --> 00:10:34,073
- You shouldn't even be near this state.
- I'm not really here.
165
00:10:34,074 --> 00:10:36,492
Long layover on my way
to California.
166
00:10:36,493 --> 00:10:40,871
I've got auditors, federal agents, in
my office going through every file,
167
00:10:40,872 --> 00:10:43,625
every document, they're going
through my goddamn trash.
168
00:10:43,626 --> 00:10:45,751
Just stick to the Fifth
if she subpoenas you.
169
00:10:45,752 --> 00:10:49,172
How did they know to look for Stamper?
To search the tapes on that exact day?
170
00:10:49,173 --> 00:10:53,259
- Don't jump to conclusions.
- You're throwing me under the bus.
171
00:10:53,260 --> 00:10:55,345
Underwood's the roadkill,
not you.
172
00:10:55,346 --> 00:10:57,015
They're going to fuck me.
173
00:10:57,016 --> 00:11:00,059
They'll find a way.
You know that.
174
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:02,687
And if that's the case, you and
your family will be taken care of.
175
00:11:04,522 --> 00:11:06,855
They're already
offering me a plea.
176
00:11:06,856 --> 00:11:09,150
You haven't even
been charged yet.
177
00:11:09,151 --> 00:11:13,655
- If I cooperate.
- You'll do less time. But your family will have nothing.
178
00:11:13,656 --> 00:11:15,448
They'll still have nothing
when you get out.
179
00:11:15,449 --> 00:11:17,659
You testify against Raymond
and he'll still walk,
180
00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:23,247
because all they'll have is your word, and
that doesn't count for much right now.
181
00:11:23,248 --> 00:11:25,210
You wouldn't be here
if he wasn't afraid.
182
00:11:25,211 --> 00:11:30,506
I'm not here because he's afraid.
I'm here because you are.
183
00:11:30,507 --> 00:11:32,964
And I want to make sure
you don't do anything stupid.
184
00:11:32,965 --> 00:11:36,094
[Cathy] After repeated
conversations with Beijing,
185
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:38,179
they remain intractable
in their position.
186
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:40,475
This morning I gave orders
for a carrier group
187
00:11:40,476 --> 00:11:42,685
to reposition near Okinawa.
188
00:11:42,686 --> 00:11:46,020
This won't put our ships in direct
confrontation with the Chinese vessels,
189
00:11:46,021 --> 00:11:48,189
but it will put them within
reach of air strikes.
190
00:11:48,190 --> 00:11:51,276
I'll be informing the Chinese
ambassador later today.
191
00:11:51,277 --> 00:11:54,654
We'll release a statement in
coordination with the Pentagon.
192
00:11:54,655 --> 00:11:58,949
Sir, our stockpiles of samarium will
only last another two months at most.
193
00:11:58,950 --> 00:12:01,413
- If we go this route--
- I've heard everyone's concerns,
194
00:12:01,414 --> 00:12:05,541
and this is the decision
I've made. Any questions?
195
00:12:05,542 --> 00:12:07,126
OK. Thank you.
196
00:12:07,127 --> 00:12:08,503
Frank.
197
00:12:13,091 --> 00:12:15,843
My deputy briefed me
on the latest.
198
00:12:22,933 --> 00:12:24,643
How did it go?
199
00:12:24,644 --> 00:12:27,060
We have a few follow-up
questions we have to address.
200
00:12:27,061 --> 00:12:28,854
- Like what?
- Nothing major.
201
00:12:28,855 --> 00:12:31,023
Just odds and ends,
a few details.
202
00:12:31,024 --> 00:12:33,403
I was under the impression
this would be short and sweet.
203
00:12:33,404 --> 00:12:36,363
So was I.
But she's very deliberate.
204
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:40,199
We need this over, Frank, at least as
far as the White House is concerned.
205
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,785
We can't be distracted.
Not with warships on the move.
206
00:12:42,786 --> 00:12:44,662
I'm confident we're
in the homestretch.
207
00:12:44,663 --> 00:12:46,706
You seem more concerned
than you're letting on.
208
00:12:46,707 --> 00:12:48,125
- Oh, no. Not at all.
- You're fidgeting.
209
00:12:48,126 --> 00:12:50,711
Oh...
210
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:54,340
It's my class ring.
I forget I...
211
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:56,883
- I buried it.
- You what?
212
00:12:56,884 --> 00:13:00,012
I... It's a long story.
213
00:13:01,598 --> 00:13:03,640
I've never seen you
this stressed before, Frank.
214
00:13:03,641 --> 00:13:06,351
Well, I've never seen you
this tired before, sir.
215
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:08,686
You've got rings of your own,
dark ones.
216
00:13:08,687 --> 00:13:10,396
They're getting worse,
aren't they?
217
00:13:10,397 --> 00:13:12,732
You should take more naps
on those sofas in the Oval.
218
00:13:12,733 --> 00:13:16,363
Naps don't cut it these days,
Frank. Not even a dent.
219
00:13:20,575 --> 00:13:23,452
Lie after lie.
220
00:13:23,453 --> 00:13:26,996
First to a prosecutor,
then to a president.
221
00:13:26,997 --> 00:13:29,708
I feel exposed,
222
00:13:29,709 --> 00:13:34,713
like the skin where
my ring used to be.
223
00:13:34,714 --> 00:13:38,301
Even Achilles was only as strong
as his heel.
224
00:13:44,098 --> 00:13:46,391
Where's Doug?
He's not answering his phone.
225
00:13:46,392 --> 00:13:48,976
- He went to a meeting, sir.
- In the middle of the day?
226
00:13:48,977 --> 00:13:50,728
I think he's on
his way back now.
227
00:13:50,729 --> 00:13:53,232
I want him
back as soon as possible.
228
00:14:01,366 --> 00:14:05,119
Sir, this arrived for you. The watch you
gave Remy when he left for Glendon Hill.
229
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,121
I recognized it from
the quote on the back.
230
00:14:08,122 --> 00:14:12,376
- Was there a message?
- No, just the watch.
231
00:14:12,377 --> 00:14:15,672
- Let's find Doug.
- Right away, sir.
232
00:14:20,552 --> 00:14:23,470
Forgive the plastic.
233
00:14:23,471 --> 00:14:26,432
Luc Tuymans.
He's the real thing.
234
00:14:26,433 --> 00:14:29,058
Well, I'll take your word.
235
00:14:29,059 --> 00:14:32,103
It's not mine. None of it.
California.
236
00:14:32,104 --> 00:14:36,190
You want to sell your house,
your Realtor decorates it.
237
00:14:36,191 --> 00:14:39,277
Well, one room at least.
238
00:14:39,278 --> 00:14:41,154
Where are you moving?
239
00:14:41,155 --> 00:14:45,534
Oh, I have a little
ranch in Sonoma.
240
00:14:45,535 --> 00:14:49,455
My wife's gone,
my kids won't talk to me,
241
00:14:49,456 --> 00:14:51,541
but at least I'll
have my painting.
242
00:14:51,542 --> 00:14:54,752
- You paint?
- No, and there's no ranch.
243
00:14:54,753 --> 00:14:59,298
But the rest of it, the
rest of it's true. Cheers.
244
00:15:03,928 --> 00:15:07,180
- I'm here about Jacqueline Sharp.
- Oh.
245
00:15:07,181 --> 00:15:09,891
- We're thinking of hiring her.
- A lobbyist?
246
00:15:09,892 --> 00:15:13,438
She could lose her re-elect. Not
a great time to be an incumbent.
247
00:15:13,439 --> 00:15:15,564
I know you two were close.
248
00:15:15,565 --> 00:15:20,234
So you're looking for what?
A recommendation?
249
00:15:20,235 --> 00:15:24,239
We have the lowest turnover of any
shop on K Street. There's a reason.
250
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,284
What are you looking
for at Glendon Hill?
251
00:15:28,285 --> 00:15:32,540
- A killer instinct.
- Well, she certainly has that.
252
00:15:36,002 --> 00:15:39,337
Forgive me if
I'm prying, but...
253
00:15:39,338 --> 00:15:42,340
...did she have anything
to do with your...
254
00:15:42,341 --> 00:15:44,385
Departure?
255
00:15:46,095 --> 00:15:50,015
Jackie did what she had to do.
I'll never forgive her,
256
00:15:50,016 --> 00:15:53,310
but I understand
why she did it.
257
00:15:54,813 --> 00:15:57,231
Did what exactly?
258
00:15:58,942 --> 00:16:02,695
I paid cash for my ticket.
I was careful.
259
00:16:02,696 --> 00:16:04,321
Clearly not enough.
260
00:16:06,323 --> 00:16:10,409
Sir, the casino had cameras everywhere.
There was no way to avoid them.
261
00:16:10,410 --> 00:16:12,787
But there had to have been
thousands of hours of footage.
262
00:16:12,788 --> 00:16:16,626
- How they found that--
- I have to ask you a question, Doug.
263
00:16:16,627 --> 00:16:20,629
And I'm sorry, but I
need you to be honest.
264
00:16:20,630 --> 00:16:23,882
- Are you drinking again?
- God no.
265
00:16:23,883 --> 00:16:26,092
- Truly?
- It's not an option.
266
00:16:26,093 --> 00:16:28,679
Because it would explain a lot.
267
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,304
You have every right to be
upset. This was my fault.
268
00:16:31,305 --> 00:16:35,102
I'm more concerned than I'm upset. I
need you now, Doug, more than ever.
269
00:16:37,313 --> 00:16:39,607
I know.
270
00:16:39,608 --> 00:16:41,025
We're not young men.
271
00:16:41,026 --> 00:16:43,820
If we fail, we'll die in a cage.
272
00:16:48,033 --> 00:16:50,702
I haven't been myself lately.
273
00:16:57,709 --> 00:17:00,626
That's what you said
to me 14 years ago.
274
00:17:00,627 --> 00:17:05,340
When I gave you a second chance, it paid off.
You got clean, Doug.
275
00:17:05,341 --> 00:17:07,761
Nothing means more to me
than this job, sir.
276
00:17:07,762 --> 00:17:10,386
Nothing.
277
00:17:10,387 --> 00:17:13,555
Whatever's going on, I need
to know it can be managed.
278
00:17:13,556 --> 00:17:16,268
And if you need my help,
I'm here to help you.
279
00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:21,398
I'm good, sir. I can handle myself.
Things will be different.
280
00:17:28,907 --> 00:17:32,576
I've never given
someone a third chance...
281
00:17:37,999 --> 00:17:40,835
...until this very moment.
282
00:17:42,544 --> 00:17:44,047
And I'm grateful.
283
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,468
You won't regret it.
Please believe that, sir.
284
00:17:52,055 --> 00:17:55,058
It was Remy who alerted
them to the footage.
285
00:17:55,059 --> 00:17:59,687
His going-away gift.
Read the back.
286
00:18:03,482 --> 00:18:05,401
- What do you think he's trying to say?
- I don't know.
287
00:18:05,402 --> 00:18:08,736
But track him down
and set up a meeting.
288
00:18:08,737 --> 00:18:12,407
- What about Dunbar?
- We can't run from the facts.
289
00:18:12,408 --> 00:18:16,160
I'll say whatever you want me to say,
I'll take responsibility for all of it.
290
00:18:16,161 --> 00:18:19,958
- She could indict you.
- That's what having a staff is for.
291
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,086
I have a better solution.
We'll both take responsibility.
292
00:18:25,087 --> 00:18:27,088
- How?
- Set up an interview with Dunbar,
293
00:18:27,089 --> 00:18:30,217
day after tomorrow. You and I
need time to do our homework.
294
00:18:30,218 --> 00:18:32,095
Yes, sir.
295
00:18:35,764 --> 00:18:38,767
[rowing machine whirring]
296
00:18:44,107 --> 00:18:50,695
- When did this happen?
- Meechum helped me fix it.
297
00:18:50,696 --> 00:18:53,699
They're not gonna let me run,
I have to work out some way.
298
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:58,286
- You carried it all the way up here?
- For privacy. I had help.
299
00:18:58,287 --> 00:19:01,540
- Meechum.
- That's right.
300
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:05,002
Jack-of-all-trades.
301
00:19:05,003 --> 00:19:09,715
- Handyman, furniture mover.
- Human shield.
302
00:19:16,555 --> 00:19:19,433
How bad is it?
303
00:19:23,687 --> 00:19:25,564
Bad.
304
00:19:27,316 --> 00:19:31,237
They have evidence of Doug being
where he shouldn't have been.
305
00:19:32,613 --> 00:19:34,573
What are you going to do?
306
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:40,996
Tell the truth.
307
00:19:40,997 --> 00:19:43,874
- You're not actually going--
- Selectively.
308
00:19:43,875 --> 00:19:47,710
Don't worry.
It's a stumble, not a fall.
309
00:19:47,711 --> 00:19:49,838
You aren't like this
when it's just a stumble.
310
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:54,135
- Like how?
- You're scared. I can tell.
311
00:19:59,682 --> 00:20:03,269
Five hundred meters at 139.
That was my best.
312
00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:04,812
Shoot for that.
313
00:20:21,578 --> 00:20:24,540
[inaudible]
314
00:20:38,179 --> 00:20:41,556
[crowd shouting fades in]
315
00:20:41,557 --> 00:20:44,768
[shouting]
316
00:20:57,573 --> 00:21:01,285
- [Claire] How have you been?
- OK.
317
00:21:01,286 --> 00:21:04,121
- The meds are helping.
- Oh, that's good to hear.
318
00:21:05,539 --> 00:21:07,957
Have a seat.
319
00:21:07,958 --> 00:21:11,296
Those people at the end
of the street, it's intense.
320
00:21:11,297 --> 00:21:15,381
They're there 24/7.
Twice as many on the weekends.
321
00:21:15,382 --> 00:21:18,345
We're so used to it by now.
322
00:21:22,890 --> 00:21:25,557
- Can I take off my shoes?
- [chuckles]
323
00:21:25,558 --> 00:21:28,687
I thought I should dress up,
but I am not good with heels.
324
00:21:28,688 --> 00:21:32,148
Yes, of course.
325
00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:35,069
My mom said
they went with the dress.
326
00:21:37,238 --> 00:21:39,240
Much better.
327
00:21:40,908 --> 00:21:45,371
Look, Megan, I know the last
six months have been difficult.
328
00:21:45,372 --> 00:21:48,789
But I need your help.
We just don't have the support
329
00:21:48,790 --> 00:21:50,582
that we expected
in the leadership.
330
00:21:50,583 --> 00:21:52,959
Yeah, I figured this wasn't
just about checking up on me.
331
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,006
You changed your mind before,
and I understand why.
332
00:21:56,007 --> 00:22:00,885
But now it seems as though
things are more stable with you.
333
00:22:00,886 --> 00:22:05,932
- Are you willing?
- It's hard to say no when I'm in your house.
334
00:22:05,933 --> 00:22:08,310
[sighs]
335
00:22:08,311 --> 00:22:12,356
You hear those
people out there.
336
00:22:12,357 --> 00:22:15,858
They're loud, but I think
we need to be louder.
337
00:22:15,859 --> 00:22:20,029
And it can't be my voice
because I'm the "baby killer."
338
00:22:20,030 --> 00:22:24,450
The "cheater." It needs to be your voice.
A clear voice.
339
00:22:24,451 --> 00:22:27,079
I'm already testifying
at the court-martial.
340
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,915
But that's closed to the media.
It's not enough.
341
00:22:30,916 --> 00:22:36,463
There are so many people this has
happened to, why does it have to be me?
342
00:22:38,132 --> 00:22:41,134
Because you're
the one who called.
343
00:22:41,135 --> 00:22:44,722
Are you gonna try to put it out
before McGinnis gets sentenced?
344
00:22:44,723 --> 00:22:49,184
- Seth, you have a minute?
- Matt, I have to call you back.
345
00:22:55,149 --> 00:22:57,026
Close the door.
346
00:23:01,530 --> 00:23:04,992
When the vice president brought you
on board I advised against it.
347
00:23:04,993 --> 00:23:07,785
But I can't deny
you've done a good job.
348
00:23:07,786 --> 00:23:09,703
I appreciate you saying that.
349
00:23:09,704 --> 00:23:11,747
I'm very protective
of the vice president.
350
00:23:11,748 --> 00:23:13,790
I find it hard to share
that duty with anyone else,
351
00:23:13,791 --> 00:23:17,252
which leaves me open to error.
It's one of my faults.
352
00:23:17,253 --> 00:23:20,964
As I told the vice president, I understand
that trust is something I need to earn.
353
00:23:20,965 --> 00:23:23,428
- Given how I got the job--
- If the vice president trusts you,
354
00:23:23,429 --> 00:23:26,387
then I trust you.
We're a team now.
355
00:23:26,388 --> 00:23:29,307
And the truth
is I can't do this alone.
356
00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:32,936
Anything and everything
you ask of me.
357
00:23:35,898 --> 00:23:39,150
It might have nothing
to do with the media.
358
00:23:39,151 --> 00:23:43,529
- Press secretary is just a title.
- Good.
359
00:23:43,530 --> 00:23:46,406
We have two tasks.
First, find me Remy Danton.
360
00:23:46,407 --> 00:23:48,367
- But be discreet.
- I'll track him down.
361
00:23:48,368 --> 00:23:50,869
Second, I need you to go through
the vice president's travel logs.
362
00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:53,330
- Everything in the past ten years.
- What are we looking for?
363
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:56,710
Anything that could hurt us. I'll
work forward, you work backward.
364
00:23:56,711 --> 00:23:58,002
I'm on it.
365
00:23:58,003 --> 00:24:00,881
And, Doug, thanks.
366
00:24:47,094 --> 00:24:50,389
Nancy, I need you
to order me a new phone.
367
00:25:22,379 --> 00:25:25,088
[Walker] You said "odds and
ends." The "homestretch."
368
00:25:25,089 --> 00:25:27,424
I was presented with this
information just hours ago.
369
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:29,092
We're talking about
impeachable offenses--
370
00:25:29,093 --> 00:25:31,053
- Not at all, sir.
- Your chief of staff--
371
00:25:31,054 --> 00:25:33,180
I had a gut feeling
that the casino was involved.
372
00:25:33,181 --> 00:25:34,723
I sent Doug to get
to the bottom of it.
373
00:25:34,724 --> 00:25:36,600
You should've
taken this to the DOJ
374
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:38,185
- the first inkling you--
- That's what I didn't want.
375
00:25:38,186 --> 00:25:40,354
To create some ruckus
if nothing was going on?
376
00:25:40,355 --> 00:25:42,773
You can't go on conducting
your own investigations, Frank.
377
00:25:42,774 --> 00:25:45,817
Fact-finding, due diligence,
whatever you want to call it.
378
00:25:45,818 --> 00:25:48,570
If any laws were being broken,
I wanted to know.
379
00:25:48,571 --> 00:25:49,863
That's what you want
to tell Dunbar?
380
00:25:49,864 --> 00:25:51,073
That I didn't want to disclose
381
00:25:51,074 --> 00:25:52,407
our diplomatic protocols.
382
00:25:52,408 --> 00:25:54,201
That I was concerned
about the midterms.
383
00:25:54,202 --> 00:25:56,828
And I wanted to protect the
president of the United States.
384
00:25:56,829 --> 00:26:00,207
Maybe what I did was wrong, but
I didn't do anything illegal.
385
00:26:00,208 --> 00:26:03,001
- You're certain of that?
- I've discussed this with my lawyers.
386
00:26:03,002 --> 00:26:06,004
Dunbar does not strike me as the sort
of person who will put on the brakes,
387
00:26:06,005 --> 00:26:07,925
even if we admit all of this.
388
00:26:07,926 --> 00:26:13,221
If fact, it might encourage
her to dig deeper.
389
00:26:13,222 --> 00:26:17,641
You're right. Which is why I want
to hand over all of my travel logs.
390
00:26:17,642 --> 00:26:20,769
- And I think you should too.
- Volunteer them?
391
00:26:20,770 --> 00:26:24,231
- As a gesture of cooperation.
- Haven't we made enough gestures?
392
00:26:24,232 --> 00:26:26,735
It will take the
wind out her sails.
393
00:26:26,736 --> 00:26:31,114
No, I don't...
want her poring
394
00:26:31,115 --> 00:26:33,659
over every one
of my comings and goings.
395
00:26:33,660 --> 00:26:37,954
He's worried about his marriage
counseling, as he should be.
396
00:26:37,955 --> 00:26:40,872
If you're worried about your marriage
counseling, you shouldn't be.
397
00:26:40,873 --> 00:26:42,833
Imagine the fallout,
if the public were to find out--
398
00:26:42,834 --> 00:26:45,460
A needle in a haystack, and not
a needle Dunbar is looking for.
399
00:26:45,461 --> 00:26:47,879
She's interviewed half of Congress.
That woman's after blood.
400
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,715
But not for gossip. Even if she
does raise an eyebrow,
401
00:26:50,716 --> 00:26:53,262
you were visiting a sick friend,
weren't you?
402
00:26:53,263 --> 00:26:58,809
- Ostensibly.
- Well, she couldn't possibly find any fault with that.
403
00:27:02,521 --> 00:27:05,397
- I'd like Galich in here.
- I'll let you two talk privately.
404
00:27:05,398 --> 00:27:08,608
- When are you seeing Dunbar?
- Tomorrow, so you have some time.
405
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,068
I'll speak to Bill
and get back to you.
406
00:27:10,069 --> 00:27:12,612
He'll advise you against it,
which is his job.
407
00:27:12,613 --> 00:27:16,910
But I would just encourage you to
think politics, and not legalese.
408
00:27:16,911 --> 00:27:18,786
Thank you, sir.
409
00:27:25,002 --> 00:27:27,253
[Remy] Congresswoman.
410
00:27:27,254 --> 00:27:29,796
Why should I vote for you?
411
00:27:29,797 --> 00:27:32,217
It's... it's OK. Good night.
412
00:27:36,347 --> 00:27:38,556
You look tired.
413
00:27:38,557 --> 00:27:41,934
Long day on the campaign trail?
414
00:27:41,935 --> 00:27:43,686
What are you doing here?
415
00:27:43,687 --> 00:27:47,023
You never told me
about Havemeyer's daughter.
416
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:50,068
Everyone knows that.
The whole world knows.
417
00:27:50,069 --> 00:27:53,779
But not that you visited her.
That you leaked it.
418
00:27:53,780 --> 00:27:56,907
You came all the way to
California to ask me about that?
419
00:27:56,908 --> 00:27:59,578
I came to California
to find out about that.
420
00:27:59,579 --> 00:28:05,291
I offered to buy Havemeyer's
house, but he told me for nothing.
421
00:28:05,292 --> 00:28:09,671
You were right. It has been
a long day on the trail.
422
00:28:09,672 --> 00:28:12,298
It's still a close race.
423
00:28:12,299 --> 00:28:15,552
But not if the voters
knew how you became whip.
424
00:28:19,348 --> 00:28:22,891
Are you honestly
threatening me?
425
00:28:22,892 --> 00:28:25,228
Set up a meeting with Frank.
426
00:28:25,229 --> 00:28:29,690
I don't care what you talk about, as long as
you're alone and the meeting is on the books.
427
00:28:29,691 --> 00:28:30,983
Then you're gonna
sit down with Dunbar.
428
00:28:30,984 --> 00:28:32,651
I've already done my interview.
429
00:28:32,652 --> 00:28:34,488
Tell her Frank grilled
you on your testimony.
430
00:28:34,489 --> 00:28:36,947
- Perjure myself?
- Save your seat.
431
00:28:36,948 --> 00:28:39,866
You know what?
Tell everyone.
432
00:28:39,867 --> 00:28:43,995
- Think how that would play out.
- I don't care.
433
00:28:43,996 --> 00:28:46,916
You'd really toss yourself
off a cliff for Frank?
434
00:28:46,917 --> 00:28:49,876
I have zero allegiance
to Frank Underwood.
435
00:28:49,877 --> 00:28:53,674
I won't be manipulated by him, and I sure
as fuck won't be manipulated by you.
436
00:28:53,675 --> 00:28:57,176
- I'm not bluffing.
- Then I was right.
437
00:28:57,177 --> 00:28:59,555
- About what?
- How little I meant.
438
00:29:03,142 --> 00:29:04,476
That has nothing
to do with this.
439
00:29:04,477 --> 00:29:07,603
It has everything
to do with this.
440
00:29:07,604 --> 00:29:11,482
I should feel disgusted,
but I don't.
441
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:14,445
Just supremely disappointed.
442
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:33,337
We got the call ten minutes ago,
direct from the White House counsel.
443
00:29:33,338 --> 00:29:35,714
The president's
turning over everything?
444
00:29:35,715 --> 00:29:38,133
- From the day he took office.
- We're sure this includes
445
00:29:38,134 --> 00:29:40,262
- the visits to his friend?
- [Doug] It has to.
446
00:29:40,263 --> 00:29:43,889
- It was full-security detail.
- Phenomenal.
447
00:29:43,890 --> 00:29:46,643
We have something
we can work with.
448
00:29:46,644 --> 00:29:48,978
- Now, as for my logs.
- They're clean.
449
00:29:48,979 --> 00:29:51,897
- You bet your life on that?
- I would.
450
00:29:51,898 --> 00:29:54,274
- Me too, sir.
- We've been through them twice,
451
00:29:54,275 --> 00:29:56,360
- backward and forward.
- My statement?
452
00:29:56,361 --> 00:30:00,616
- [Seth] In your inbox.
- I looked it over. Seth did a nice job.
453
00:30:07,121 --> 00:30:09,331
We need to go wide with this
the moment the interview's over
454
00:30:09,332 --> 00:30:12,209
so we beat Dunbar to the punch in case
she decides to release something.
455
00:30:12,210 --> 00:30:14,586
I'll be at my computer ready to press
send the moment I hear from Doug.
456
00:30:14,587 --> 00:30:17,589
- Have either of you slept?
- We're awake, fully operational.
457
00:30:17,590 --> 00:30:19,593
You take a shower
and put on a fresh suit.
458
00:30:19,594 --> 00:30:22,221
Yes, sir.
I'll see you over there.
459
00:30:26,015 --> 00:30:28,309
You have at least three hours.
460
00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:31,061
Take a nap.
You can use my office.
461
00:30:31,062 --> 00:30:33,899
[man] General McGinnis was in the
courtroom when you testified.
462
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:38,903
- Yes. - Had you seen him in person,
I mean, since he assaulted you?
463
00:30:38,904 --> 00:30:42,323
- No.
- What was that like?
464
00:30:42,324 --> 00:30:46,787
- Not fun.
- Not fun how?
465
00:30:49,038 --> 00:30:52,124
It was hard. Really hard.
466
00:30:52,125 --> 00:30:55,251
Look, Megan, I agreed to change
the focus of my piece
467
00:30:55,252 --> 00:30:59,004
to focus on you, and, you know,
I know this has gotta be hard,
468
00:30:59,005 --> 00:31:01,173
but I need you to help me
out a little bit.
469
00:31:01,174 --> 00:31:04,678
[chuckles] I'm sorry, I'm not
very good at this. I'm nervous.
470
00:31:04,679 --> 00:31:08,264
You seemed fine when you called
into Mrs. Underwood's interview.
471
00:31:08,265 --> 00:31:10,728
She was there with me,
on the phone.
472
00:31:10,729 --> 00:31:15,398
Your nerves, I know that's been
an issue since the assault.
473
00:31:15,399 --> 00:31:20,362
The defense brought up what they called
emotional and mental instability.
474
00:31:20,363 --> 00:31:22,530
That's what always happens.
475
00:31:22,531 --> 00:31:25,156
The person who was attacked
gets attacked all over again.
476
00:31:25,157 --> 00:31:28,284
- How did that make you feel?
- It made me angry.
477
00:31:28,285 --> 00:31:32,499
The lawyer kept coming after me about
my panic attacks, my antidepressants.
478
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:35,460
But I just kept
staring at McGinnis.
479
00:31:35,461 --> 00:31:39,296
I wanted him to see I could
take it. That I was strong.
480
00:31:39,297 --> 00:31:42,801
- I wanted to make him look away first.
- And did he?
481
00:31:42,802 --> 00:31:47,262
Yes, when I said he did
more than violate my body.
482
00:31:47,263 --> 00:31:50,223
He betrayed his country.
483
00:31:50,224 --> 00:31:53,018
He robbed it of a good Marine.
484
00:31:53,019 --> 00:31:56,062
Let's talk about the sexual assault
bill in front of Congress now.
485
00:31:56,063 --> 00:32:00,109
It's taken some significant opposition,
most notably from another veteran,
486
00:32:00,110 --> 00:32:02,361
Jacqueline Sharp.
487
00:32:02,362 --> 00:32:05,658
If you ask me, she's
betraying our country too.
488
00:32:08,911 --> 00:32:11,954
- Ms. Dunbar.
- Mr. Vice President.
489
00:32:11,955 --> 00:32:14,163
Thank you for giving us
a few extra days.
490
00:32:14,164 --> 00:32:17,876
I have no problem being patient as long
as it leads to forthright answers.
491
00:32:17,877 --> 00:32:20,380
Well, I won't make you
wait a moment longer.
492
00:32:25,385 --> 00:32:27,095
Shall we?
493
00:32:28,388 --> 00:32:29,971
[Tusk] Oh, you found it.
494
00:32:29,972 --> 00:32:31,807
Have a seat, we're just
finishing up here.
495
00:32:31,808 --> 00:32:35,393
What do you think, Mr. Tusk? Keep
growing it or have it shaved?
496
00:32:35,394 --> 00:32:38,941
- I guess I'll keep growing it.
- [barber] No problem. Let me clean up the back.
497
00:32:38,942 --> 00:32:43,821
[Tusk] No, Mack, if you'd give me
a couple minutes. Appreciate it.
498
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,950
I had this place built down here
about ten years ago.
499
00:32:49,951 --> 00:32:52,788
I got tired of driving all the
way across town every two weeks.
500
00:32:52,789 --> 00:32:56,415
- Now it's just an elevator ride.
- Convenient.
501
00:32:56,416 --> 00:33:01,838
You know what isn't convenient?
Cramming eight attorneys in my office.
502
00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:06,466
It was not designed for the entire
partnership of my law firm.
503
00:33:06,467 --> 00:33:08,970
They're worried about Lanagin.
504
00:33:08,971 --> 00:33:12,432
- He's a little shaky, but he'll hold up.
- Underwood?
505
00:33:12,433 --> 00:33:14,892
Birch delivered.
506
00:33:14,893 --> 00:33:19,230
- And did Dunbar bring up Stamper?
- The sessions are closed-door,
507
00:33:19,231 --> 00:33:22,232
but I can't imagine she didn't.
508
00:33:22,233 --> 00:33:26,989
And what about poor Havemeyer? Was
he any help to us on Jackie Sharp?
509
00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:29,867
[Remy sighs]
510
00:33:31,785 --> 00:33:36,496
I do not take your hesitation
as a promising sign.
511
00:33:36,497 --> 00:33:39,709
I never like disappointing you.
512
00:33:39,710 --> 00:33:41,919
- He had nothing?
- No.
513
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,503
Hm...
514
00:33:43,504 --> 00:33:46,048
Now, do you think that's
because there's nothing there,
515
00:33:46,049 --> 00:33:49,425
- or because he's protecting her?
- There's nothing there.
516
00:33:49,426 --> 00:33:51,722
- I can go to another congressman.
- No, no, no.
517
00:33:51,723 --> 00:33:54,849
It has to be somebody
high-profile,
518
00:33:54,850 --> 00:33:56,975
someone in the leadership
who will make waves.
519
00:33:56,976 --> 00:33:59,813
- Let me get back to Birch.
- It's too obvious,
520
00:33:59,814 --> 00:34:03,066
now that he's shown
no sympathy for Frank.
521
00:34:03,067 --> 00:34:07,070
This can't look orchestrated.
Multiple fronts, Remy.
522
00:34:07,071 --> 00:34:10,907
It has to be
Jackie Sharp. Mack?
523
00:34:10,908 --> 00:34:13,491
Let's finish up here.
I gotta get back to work.
524
00:34:13,492 --> 00:34:15,913
- [Mack] You got it, boss.
- You need to get back to work too.
525
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:23,335
And what we discussed...
make it happen.
526
00:34:23,336 --> 00:34:26,212
- You denied being a back channel.
- I did not deny.
527
00:34:26,213 --> 00:34:28,924
I chose not to confirm
because it was classified.
528
00:34:28,925 --> 00:34:32,218
- But your office has consistently--
- I instructed Doug to do so,
529
00:34:32,219 --> 00:34:35,806
along with my communications department.
When a back channel becomes public,
530
00:34:35,807 --> 00:34:38,641
- it defeats its purpose.
- An orchestrated deception--
531
00:34:38,642 --> 00:34:41,686
If we had refused to comment, it
would've suggested it was true,
532
00:34:41,687 --> 00:34:44,397
which would've endangered the
process. I really had no choice.
533
00:34:44,398 --> 00:34:46,482
- Mr. Feng is currently in Dubai.
- I know.
534
00:34:46,483 --> 00:34:50,405
He's fleeing corruption charges, not
the first time he's been accused.
535
00:34:50,406 --> 00:34:54,366
- And your question?
- I know he laundered the money.
536
00:34:54,367 --> 00:34:58,285
It's just a matter of time before I
have the proof to substantiate that.
537
00:34:58,286 --> 00:35:02,001
So my question, which I am asking
again, is whether you knew?
538
00:35:02,002 --> 00:35:05,711
And I'll repeat my answer.
I did not.
539
00:35:05,712 --> 00:35:10,007
I did sense that something was awry.
Doug was aware of my concerns.
540
00:35:10,008 --> 00:35:13,718
And I took it upon myself to find out.
The vice president didn't know.
541
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,138
You had no knowledge he was
going to the casino?
542
00:35:16,139 --> 00:35:20,349
[Frank] None. But that doesn't mean I don't
take responsibility for my staff's behavior.
543
00:35:20,350 --> 00:35:22,896
- The buck stops with me.
- And what did you find?
544
00:35:22,897 --> 00:35:25,648
Nothing.
No illegal activity.
545
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:29,026
I don't have the same
resources that you do.
546
00:35:29,027 --> 00:35:33,446
If you suspected, why didn't you go
immediately to the NIGC, the BIA,
547
00:35:33,447 --> 00:35:35,907
- the Department--
- You have to understand, we're facing
548
00:35:35,908 --> 00:35:38,325
very difficult midterms.
I didn't want to bring attention
549
00:35:38,326 --> 00:35:40,954
to a series of allegations that
may have no basis in fact.
550
00:35:40,955 --> 00:35:45,125
Now, that may have been misguided
logic, but that's how I chose to act.
551
00:35:45,126 --> 00:35:49,670
The mistake is mine and mine alone. Not
Doug's, certainly not the president's.
552
00:35:49,671 --> 00:35:52,381
It shouldn't surprise you
if I say it feels
553
00:35:52,382 --> 00:35:54,800
like I am not getting
the full picture.
554
00:35:54,801 --> 00:35:58,681
Which is why I'm prepared to give
you the full picture. Oliver?
555
00:35:58,682 --> 00:36:02,642
The White House believes
in transparency.
556
00:36:02,643 --> 00:36:04,518
All of the vice president's
personal travel logs.
557
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:07,189
And the last ten years
since I became whip.
558
00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:10,860
[Doug] As well as the
president's since inauguration.
559
00:36:10,861 --> 00:36:16,323
[Frank] There should be no doubt
as to whom we met with and when.
560
00:36:16,324 --> 00:36:20,534
- I am skeptical about what this contains.
- Which is what we anticipated,
561
00:36:20,535 --> 00:36:23,746
and why Oliver will walk you through
anything you might need to know.
562
00:36:23,747 --> 00:36:27,086
It's all there, but if you have
any questions or requests,
563
00:36:27,087 --> 00:36:29,796
we'll be happy to facilitate.
564
00:36:33,549 --> 00:36:35,925
I mean, at first,
I was really nervous,
565
00:36:35,926 --> 00:36:38,136
but then, as soon as I
started getting into it,
566
00:36:38,137 --> 00:36:41,889
started speaking from my heart,
all these things poured out,
567
00:36:41,890 --> 00:36:45,434
everything I wanted to say,
that I've been wanting to say.
568
00:36:45,435 --> 00:36:47,728
Seth told me that Matt
was very impressed.
569
00:36:47,729 --> 00:36:49,984
- I want to do more.
- More interviews?
570
00:36:49,985 --> 00:36:53,610
Articles, TV,
whatever it takes.
571
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:56,698
- I want to help.
- That's great, Megan.
572
00:36:58,324 --> 00:37:00,202
Thank you for making me do this.
573
00:37:00,203 --> 00:37:05,289
- It was a big step for me.
- You have a plane to catch.
574
00:37:05,290 --> 00:37:07,542
I can stay longer,
if you need me to do another.
575
00:37:07,543 --> 00:37:09,794
[alarm beeping]
576
00:37:12,588 --> 00:37:14,505
Why don't you head
back to Chicago.
577
00:37:14,506 --> 00:37:17,800
And as soon as we've put a plan
together, we can give you a buzz.
578
00:37:17,801 --> 00:37:20,928
- Can I get a glass of water?
- Tap is fine, or you want bottled?
579
00:37:20,929 --> 00:37:24,310
- I can get it.
- We've got Ms. Hennessey's car ready.
580
00:37:24,311 --> 00:37:27,020
Edward.
581
00:37:28,938 --> 00:37:31,647
Did she seem all right when you
picked her up from the airport?
582
00:37:31,648 --> 00:37:33,860
- How do you mean?
- I don't know, normal?
583
00:37:33,861 --> 00:37:35,944
Yes, I'd say so.
584
00:37:35,945 --> 00:37:39,072
She's very up and down,
very skittish and manic.
585
00:37:39,073 --> 00:37:42,328
I guess she did seem nervous.
We didn't talk much.
586
00:37:42,329 --> 00:37:44,329
[clattering]
587
00:37:44,330 --> 00:37:47,790
- I'll get her.
- I'll be outside.
588
00:37:52,296 --> 00:37:54,380
Megan?
589
00:37:58,718 --> 00:37:59,844
I've got it.
590
00:38:02,264 --> 00:38:05,184
Really, I'm OK.
591
00:38:11,647 --> 00:38:13,775
The car's ready,
whenever you are.
592
00:38:17,321 --> 00:38:21,449
- Thank you for everything.
- Have a safe flight. I'll be in touch.
593
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:07,661
[reporters clamoring]
594
00:39:07,662 --> 00:39:10,748
I just had a very productive
interview with Ms. Dunbar.
595
00:39:10,749 --> 00:39:14,919
- Send out the press release.
- Thank you very much.
596
00:39:22,302 --> 00:39:24,220
[glass shatters]
597
00:39:27,473 --> 00:39:31,100
- [Meechum] You OK, ma'am?
- I'm fine. I just dropped...
598
00:39:31,101 --> 00:39:33,811
- Please, let me.
- Oh, it's fine. I'm fine.
599
00:39:33,812 --> 00:39:36,691
- I've got it. You're barefoot.
- Edward, you don't have to. Really.
600
00:39:36,692 --> 00:39:37,899
[Meechum inhales]
601
00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:40,151
- Oh, no, what happened?
- Damn it.
602
00:39:40,152 --> 00:39:43,281
- Let me get some bandages.
- You don't have to.
603
00:39:43,282 --> 00:39:46,158
No, I want to. Stay here.
604
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:49,118
The coverage has been
mostly positive so far.
605
00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:53,166
- Dunbar's office?
- All they've said is they look forward to reviewing logs.
606
00:39:53,167 --> 00:39:56,168
- Any heat on Doug?
- Some.
607
00:39:56,169 --> 00:39:58,586
I'm getting a lot
of requests for comments.
608
00:39:58,587 --> 00:40:02,300
I acted on my own and will fully
cooperate with the Justice Department.
609
00:40:02,301 --> 00:40:05,428
- We can put that out?
- Sir?
610
00:40:05,429 --> 00:40:10,014
- It might generate more interest.
- On me, not the vice president.
611
00:40:10,015 --> 00:40:12,518
- I can handle whatever comes my way.
- Put it out.
612
00:40:12,519 --> 00:40:16,522
I'll print you out the most
recent clips too, sir.
613
00:40:21,736 --> 00:40:26,322
- Should I find a way to tip off Dunbar?
- Let nature take its course.
614
00:40:26,323 --> 00:40:28,783
We got ahold of Remy.
He just got back to town.
615
00:40:28,784 --> 00:40:31,621
- Where is he?
- I've arranged everything with your detail.
616
00:40:33,539 --> 00:40:37,251
- You've done good work, Doug.
- Thank you, sir.
617
00:41:37,729 --> 00:41:40,857
There, that's much better.
618
00:41:41,567 --> 00:41:43,943
Thanks, ma'am.
619
00:41:46,654 --> 00:41:49,698
I'm gonna get going.
620
00:41:49,699 --> 00:41:55,413
- I'm sorry, I'm a little drunk.
- It's your house. You can do whatever you want.
621
00:41:56,748 --> 00:41:58,372
You should
have a glass of wine.
622
00:41:58,373 --> 00:42:00,124
I appreciate that,
ma'am, but I--
623
00:42:00,125 --> 00:42:03,463
- You're off your shift, right?
- I am. That's true.
624
00:42:03,464 --> 00:42:07,466
Then I won't
take no for an answer.
625
00:42:07,467 --> 00:42:11,262
You shouldn't waste any
of your good stuff on me. I'm...
626
00:42:11,263 --> 00:42:14,139
I don't really know
anything about wine.
627
00:42:14,140 --> 00:42:18,352
Then how about bourbon? I bet
you'd like a little of that.
628
00:42:18,353 --> 00:42:21,230
I definitely don't mind a
bourbon from time to time.
629
00:42:21,231 --> 00:42:23,316
Then bourbon it is.
630
00:42:38,915 --> 00:42:42,709
You're a tough man
to track down these days.
631
00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:45,921
You got the watch?
632
00:42:45,922 --> 00:42:47,798
"To improve is to change."
633
00:42:47,799 --> 00:42:50,509
"To perfect is
to change often."
634
00:42:50,510 --> 00:42:52,428
What sort of change
are you looking for?
635
00:42:52,429 --> 00:42:58,058
- Whichever leaves me options.
- Trouble at Glendon Hill?
636
00:42:58,059 --> 00:43:00,768
Paid leave until the
investigation is over.
637
00:43:00,769 --> 00:43:02,647
Well, at least
you're being paid.
638
00:43:02,648 --> 00:43:05,941
First step in terminating
my partnership.
639
00:43:05,942 --> 00:43:07,818
You know how things go.
640
00:43:07,819 --> 00:43:10,947
No matter what happens, there's
a stain I can't wash out.
641
00:43:10,948 --> 00:43:14,324
So you're looking
for career opportunities.
642
00:43:14,325 --> 00:43:16,911
I'm not offering myself
to you wholesale.
643
00:43:16,912 --> 00:43:20,372
I keep fighting you,
but I can fight you less.
644
00:43:20,373 --> 00:43:25,377
- And by "less" you mean...
- Enough to hurt, but not finish you.
645
00:43:25,378 --> 00:43:28,462
And in return, I have a
future beyond Glendon Hill.
646
00:43:28,463 --> 00:43:31,257
- Whatever that might look like.
- So you're offering neutrality.
647
00:43:31,258 --> 00:43:35,263
- But you'll go with the victor.
- I figure let the best man win.
648
00:43:35,264 --> 00:43:41,977
And if you go down, it won't be because of me.
That's worth something.
649
00:43:41,978 --> 00:43:46,524
- Where's this coming from?
- Insurance, that's all.
650
00:43:48,067 --> 00:43:51,529
Does it have anything to do
with Jackie?
651
00:43:56,242 --> 00:43:59,494
That's over.
652
00:43:59,495 --> 00:44:02,415
I know you've got Birch in your pocket.
Womack's not an option.
653
00:44:02,416 --> 00:44:06,293
We're too close.
But Jacqueline...
654
00:44:06,294 --> 00:44:09,589
This is about my future, pure and simple.
She's not a part of it.
655
00:44:11,674 --> 00:44:16,179
Keep the watch,
as a token of good faith.
656
00:44:24,562 --> 00:44:27,606
He might deny it,
but he's protecting her.
657
00:44:27,607 --> 00:44:30,443
What he doesn't realize
is that I have even less regard
658
00:44:30,444 --> 00:44:33,778
for Jackie than Raymond does.
Poor Remy.
659
00:44:33,779 --> 00:44:39,452
The heart can choke the mind when all
its blood flows back unto itself.
660
00:45:17,573 --> 00:45:19,409
[pills rattling]
661
00:45:33,423 --> 00:45:37,802
- [laughing]
- He said, "I don't like brunettes."
662
00:45:44,891 --> 00:45:47,061
Looks like
I almost missed the party.
663
00:45:47,062 --> 00:45:50,731
- I'm off the clock, sir.
- Oh, relax.
664
00:45:50,732 --> 00:45:55,111
Francis, I broke a glass and Edward
cut his hand on a piece of it.
665
00:45:55,112 --> 00:45:58,321
- Jesus!
- Oh, wow, it needs a change.
666
00:45:58,322 --> 00:46:02,035
Take that off
and I'll get fresh...
667
00:46:05,954 --> 00:46:10,250
I hope you don't mind, sir.
I was off duty...
668
00:46:10,251 --> 00:46:15,423
- Is she...?
- Drunk? A little. [chuckles]
669
00:46:17,091 --> 00:46:22,011
- How many of these have you had?
- A few.
670
00:46:22,012 --> 00:46:24,348
- More than a few.
- [chuckles]
671
00:46:28,770 --> 00:46:33,191
- May I? Mm.
- Please.
672
00:46:38,154 --> 00:46:40,530
Let me see.
673
00:46:40,531 --> 00:46:42,617
It's not too bad.
674
00:46:46,245 --> 00:46:50,458
- There's a lot of blood.
- Looks worse than it is.
675
00:46:52,585 --> 00:46:54,252
Ow...
676
00:46:54,253 --> 00:46:57,964
- [Frank] Is it painful?
- [Meechum] The bourbon helps.
677
00:47:00,926 --> 00:47:03,554
You let me know if this hurts.
678
00:47:07,517 --> 00:47:09,101
Not one bit, sir.
679
00:48:32,059 --> 00:48:35,605
[women panting, moaning]
680
00:49:03,298 --> 00:49:06,969
[panting, moaning]
681
00:49:48,218 --> 00:49:51,387
- How's your head?
- Fine.
682
00:49:51,388 --> 00:49:54,642
I took a couple of aspirin
before I went to sleep.
683
00:49:54,643 --> 00:49:57,061
You?
684
00:49:58,228 --> 00:50:00,939
I slept like a baby.
685
00:50:00,940 --> 00:50:03,066
Good.
686
00:50:03,067 --> 00:50:05,193
You needed that.
687
00:50:19,876 --> 00:50:22,084
- What is it?
- Something weird.
688
00:50:22,085 --> 00:50:24,254
- This one address keeps popping up.
- Underwood?
689
00:50:24,255 --> 00:50:26,339
The president.
690
00:50:29,927 --> 00:50:34,057
[crowd shouting]
691
00:50:39,937 --> 00:50:43,231
- Good morning, Meechum.
- Good morning, Mr. Vice President.
692
00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:47,194
It's a beautiful day.
693
00:50:55,243 --> 00:50:58,163
[crowd shouting]
694
00:51:01,814 --> 00:51:05,532
