1
00:00:28,467 --> 00:00:31,136
Hey. Excuse me. I'm Paul Capra.
I'm here to see Christina.
2
00:00:31,137 --> 00:00:34,098
Oh, right this way, Mr.
Capra. She's expecting you.
3
00:00:40,771 --> 00:00:42,523
- Paul.
- Hey, Christina.
4
00:00:42,524 --> 00:00:45,443
Hi. It's good to see you.
5
00:00:45,444 --> 00:00:47,069
- Yeah, you too.
- Can I get you anything?
6
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:48,737
Nah. I grabbed some
breakfast on the way down.
7
00:00:48,738 --> 00:00:50,989
- Okay. Have a seat.
- All right. Thank you.
8
00:00:56,285 --> 00:01:00,247
I asked you down here because
I spoke to D-Trip and the D.N.C.
9
00:01:00,248 --> 00:01:02,249
We'd like you to run for Peter's seat.
10
00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:03,876
As you probably know,
11
00:01:03,877 --> 00:01:06,920
the election's been set for
the first week of February.
12
00:01:06,921 --> 00:01:08,589
You want me to run?
13
00:01:08,590 --> 00:01:10,090
With your stature in the community,
14
00:01:10,091 --> 00:01:11,842
your grass roots organizing experience...
15
00:01:11,843 --> 00:01:13,302
Christina, hold on.
16
00:01:13,303 --> 00:01:14,761
I know it's a lot to consider.
17
00:01:14,762 --> 00:01:16,096
It's only been a month.
18
00:01:16,097 --> 00:01:18,265
Well, we still have to govern, Paul.
19
00:01:18,266 --> 00:01:19,684
I thought you asked me down here
20
00:01:19,685 --> 00:01:22,061
because you wanted to talk or something.
21
00:01:22,062 --> 00:01:24,021
I do. About the election.
22
00:01:24,022 --> 00:01:27,400
I mean about Peter.
23
00:01:27,401 --> 00:01:31,237
How come you didn't go to the funeral?
24
00:01:31,238 --> 00:01:33,989
I couldn't.
25
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:35,908
How you been holding up?
26
00:01:35,909 --> 00:01:39,203
I'm all right. It's been hard
keeping the office on track.
27
00:01:39,204 --> 00:01:41,205
Jesus. Screw the office.
28
00:01:41,206 --> 00:01:42,665
What about you?
29
00:01:42,666 --> 00:01:45,543
You're allowed to grieve, Christina.
30
00:01:45,544 --> 00:01:47,587
Paul...
31
00:01:47,588 --> 00:01:50,548
there are 600,000 people counting on us.
32
00:01:50,549 --> 00:01:54,051
I can't let my feelings
get in the way of that.
33
00:01:54,052 --> 00:01:56,970
Will you hear me out about
running for Peter's seat?
34
00:03:37,036 --> 00:03:39,705
[Papers rustling]
35
00:03:48,381 --> 00:03:51,091
[Rustling continues]
36
00:03:59,558 --> 00:04:03,229
Well, you've passed the vetting
process with flying colors.
37
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:05,772
- Is there anything we might have missed?
- No, sir.
38
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:09,318
Tell me about your experience
39
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:11,904
as the chair of the
oversight reform committee.
40
00:04:11,905 --> 00:04:16,116
It's been very rewarding.
41
00:04:19,036 --> 00:04:21,830
What are the biggest
challenges you've had to face?
42
00:04:21,831 --> 00:04:24,166
Partisanship.
43
00:04:24,167 --> 00:04:26,877
[Clock ticking]
44
00:04:31,882 --> 00:04:34,968
Well, I suppose a room
filled with 435 big egos
45
00:04:34,969 --> 00:04:38,055
isn't the most hospitable
place for oversight.
46
00:04:38,056 --> 00:04:42,268
- [Chuckles]
- [Chuckles]
47
00:04:42,269 --> 00:04:45,312
[Clock continues ticking]
48
00:04:46,772 --> 00:04:49,400
Do you want to be Vice President, Tabitha?
49
00:04:49,401 --> 00:04:52,528
It would be a great honor, sir.
50
00:04:59,618 --> 00:05:01,661
We'll be in touch.
51
00:05:01,662 --> 00:05:03,956
- That's all?
- Mm-hmm.
52
00:05:03,957 --> 00:05:06,792
- For the time being.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
53
00:05:07,709 --> 00:05:10,170
[Door opens, closes]
54
00:05:10,171 --> 00:05:12,381
We have to cross her off.
55
00:05:12,382 --> 00:05:14,425
I agree. She could put
a crack addict to sleep.
56
00:05:14,426 --> 00:05:16,676
Then what is she doing on the goddamn list?
57
00:05:16,677 --> 00:05:18,596
Tabitha's a very gifted legislator.
58
00:05:18,597 --> 00:05:20,639
I don't want people
who make sense on paper.
59
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,601
I need at least one viable option.
60
00:05:23,602 --> 00:05:27,313
The two of you created this list and have
proceeded to cross off every name you've put on it.
61
00:05:27,314 --> 00:05:29,856
It's just a first pass, sir.
We need time to fully vet all...
62
00:05:29,857 --> 00:05:31,942
Jim is gonna win this thing in
Pennsylvania, and we're no closer
63
00:05:31,943 --> 00:05:34,236
to naming his replacement
than we were a month ago.
64
00:05:34,237 --> 00:05:37,781
Let us take another crack at it and
give you a few more names to consider.
65
00:05:37,782 --> 00:05:41,160
- I just want one name.
- We'll have something for you by tomorrow morning.
66
00:05:41,161 --> 00:05:43,287
Thank you, Mr. President.
67
00:05:43,288 --> 00:05:45,038
[Door closes]
68
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:49,876
He's ready to say yes to anything.
69
00:05:49,877 --> 00:05:52,546
Yeah, for this to work, I don't think you
can be there. Not when I first mention it.
70
00:05:52,547 --> 00:05:53,964
I agree. You bring it
up in your morning brief,
71
00:05:53,965 --> 00:05:55,715
and when I show up, I'll act surprised.
72
00:05:55,716 --> 00:05:57,468
Assuming he's open to the idea.
73
00:05:57,469 --> 00:05:59,386
Look, all we have to do tomorrow
is plant the notion in his head.
74
00:05:59,387 --> 00:06:01,972
I'm sure you'll be persuasive.
75
00:06:01,973 --> 00:06:03,974
- [Line ringing]
- [Paul] Hello?
76
00:06:03,975 --> 00:06:06,268
- Mr. Capra?
- Yeah. Who's this?
77
00:06:06,269 --> 00:06:08,312
Janine Skorsky from Slugline.
78
00:06:08,313 --> 00:06:09,605
We spoke when I wrote the piece
79
00:06:09,606 --> 00:06:11,315
about Congressman Russo's passing.
80
00:06:11,316 --> 00:06:13,900
I'm done giving interviews
about Peter, okay?
81
00:06:13,901 --> 00:06:16,736
He was a troubled guy. End of story.
82
00:06:16,737 --> 00:06:18,489
This is not about his death.
83
00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:22,535
I'm calling you because my
sources at the D Triple C
84
00:06:22,536 --> 00:06:25,329
are telling me that you
might be running for his seat.
85
00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:26,788
I'm not talking about that.
86
00:06:26,789 --> 00:06:28,415
But you did have a meeting this morning
87
00:06:28,416 --> 00:06:30,459
with Christina Gallagher, correct?
88
00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:32,794
I'm driving right now. I really
shouldn't be on the phone.
89
00:06:32,795 --> 00:06:36,507
If you do run, I would like
to know about your involvement
90
00:06:36,508 --> 00:06:39,468
in the closing of the
Philadelphia shipyard.
91
00:06:39,469 --> 00:06:42,137
That decision was made in Washington.
92
00:06:42,138 --> 00:06:45,015
The association wasn't consulted.
93
00:06:45,016 --> 00:06:47,809
Forgive me. I find that hard to believe.
94
00:06:47,810 --> 00:06:51,397
I read all of the transcripts
from the brac commission.
95
00:06:51,398 --> 00:06:53,899
Congressman Russo didn't
give any testimony.
96
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:56,985
So are you saying that he didn't
consult with you once before you...
97
00:06:56,986 --> 00:06:59,613
somebody was strong-arming
him, okay? It was politics.
98
00:06:59,614 --> 00:07:01,907
Do you know who would've pressured him?
99
00:07:01,908 --> 00:07:04,243
Look, I don't know. He just
said people up the food chain.
100
00:07:04,244 --> 00:07:06,453
Did he say anything more specific about...
101
00:07:06,454 --> 00:07:08,706
you know what? There's traffic. I gotta go.
102
00:07:08,707 --> 00:07:12,084
- Mr. Capra, I would... [Stammering]
- [Click]
103
00:07:22,344 --> 00:07:24,346
Should I be prepared to do press?
104
00:07:24,347 --> 00:07:27,349
- If he's amenable.
- [Sighs]
105
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:29,851
What do you think our chances are?
106
00:07:31,144 --> 00:07:35,023
Better than 50-50, if I had to say.
107
00:07:35,024 --> 00:07:38,360
We won't announce until
after Matthews wins, though.
108
00:07:39,612 --> 00:07:41,739
I hate to admit it, but I'm nervous.
109
00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:43,282
So am I.
110
00:07:43,283 --> 00:07:45,409
It's just the last time,
we found ourselves...
111
00:07:45,410 --> 00:07:47,953
that's my fear too.
112
00:07:47,954 --> 00:07:50,872
All right. You call me, either way.
113
00:07:52,082 --> 00:07:54,627
[Sighs]
114
00:07:54,628 --> 00:07:57,254
In no more than nine hours.
115
00:07:57,255 --> 00:07:59,089
[Chuckles]
116
00:08:03,594 --> 00:08:04,886
[Door opens]
117
00:08:10,058 --> 00:08:12,185
Linda's been in there far too long.
118
00:08:12,186 --> 00:08:15,188
If the President takes this much
convincing, it doesn't bode well.
119
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:19,151
I can feel it... his hesitation
on the other side of that door.
120
00:08:19,152 --> 00:08:22,446
I know it's pointless to worry
until I know what cards I'm holding.
121
00:08:22,447 --> 00:08:25,365
- Perhaps he just got interrupted by some...
- [Door opens]
122
00:08:25,366 --> 00:08:28,285
He wants to tap Raymond Tusk.
123
00:08:29,495 --> 00:08:31,913
- What?
- He thinks it's a bold idea.
124
00:08:31,914 --> 00:08:34,583
It's an idiotic idea. The
man's never held public office.
125
00:08:34,584 --> 00:08:37,252
That's one of the things the
President said he likes about him.
126
00:08:37,253 --> 00:08:41,173
The President wants to nominate a
multibillionaire in a struggling economy?
127
00:08:41,174 --> 00:08:43,717
- He'll alienate half the country.
- Which is exactly what I said,
128
00:08:43,718 --> 00:08:47,220
but he made it very clear he does
not want me to fight him on this.
129
00:08:47,221 --> 00:08:49,431
- So you didn't mention me at all?
- I never had the chance.
130
00:08:49,432 --> 00:08:51,809
His mind was made up
before I could say a word.
131
00:08:51,810 --> 00:08:53,268
Well, we have to unmake it.
132
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:55,354
Well, you can try, but if you do,
133
00:08:55,355 --> 00:08:58,190
my guess is he's gonna cut you
out of the process altogether.
134
00:08:58,191 --> 00:09:00,025
He seemed adamant.
135
00:09:00,026 --> 00:09:02,110
We should go in there.
136
00:09:08,826 --> 00:09:11,537
- Mr. President.
- Morning, Frank.
137
00:09:11,538 --> 00:09:14,039
Will you give us a few minutes, Linda?
138
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,124
Of course.
139
00:09:18,210 --> 00:09:19,837
[Door closes]
140
00:09:19,838 --> 00:09:22,130
Linda fill you in?
141
00:09:25,634 --> 00:09:29,555
I think Raymond Tusk
142
00:09:29,556 --> 00:09:34,017
is an exciting, bold idea.
143
00:09:34,018 --> 00:09:37,187
Well, I'm glad you agree.
Linda didn't think so.
144
00:09:37,188 --> 00:09:39,815
He's a proven businessman.
Brilliant, but down-to-earth.
145
00:09:39,816 --> 00:09:41,149
Do you know him personally?
146
00:09:41,150 --> 00:09:43,485
I met him briefly once at a fund-raiser.
147
00:09:43,486 --> 00:09:46,071
Last night when I called him was the first
time we had a meaningful conversation.
148
00:09:46,072 --> 00:09:48,281
Did he seem open to the idea?
149
00:09:48,282 --> 00:09:49,783
I sensed a good deal of reluctance.
150
00:09:49,784 --> 00:09:51,451
He wanted a few days to consider.
151
00:09:51,452 --> 00:09:53,746
Well, good. That gives us
time to start vetting him.
152
00:09:53,747 --> 00:09:55,873
He's clean. I had him vetted last year
153
00:09:55,874 --> 00:09:59,084
when I was considering him
for secretary of the treasury.
154
00:09:59,085 --> 00:10:01,086
And did he say why he's reluctant?
155
00:10:01,087 --> 00:10:04,130
No. Didn't give a reason.
Just wanted to mull it over.
156
00:10:06,049 --> 00:10:10,220
I want to send someone to St.
Louis to speak to him in person,
157
00:10:10,221 --> 00:10:12,472
convince him to accept the nomination.
158
00:10:12,473 --> 00:10:14,307
And who are you thinking about?
159
00:10:14,308 --> 00:10:17,018
I'd send Linda, but there's so
much work for her to do here,
160
00:10:17,019 --> 00:10:19,855
and, well, she can be abrasive at times.
161
00:10:19,856 --> 00:10:22,399
Yeah, she can be a bit tough.
162
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,985
I want someone with gravitas.
163
00:10:25,986 --> 00:10:29,615
Birch is a possibility, but he's
not always been our strongest ally.
164
00:10:29,616 --> 00:10:33,702
I'm not sure I would trust
Bob with something like this.
165
00:10:33,703 --> 00:10:36,329
I would be happy to go myself, sir.
166
00:10:38,331 --> 00:10:41,877
I can use a light touch and
give him the respect he deserves.
167
00:10:41,878 --> 00:10:45,422
Good. I'll let his
people know you're coming.
168
00:10:45,423 --> 00:10:47,800
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, Frank.
169
00:10:49,426 --> 00:10:50,803

00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:53,513
[Claire] Tell me, Francis.
172
00:10:53,514 --> 00:10:55,808
It's good we were prepared for anything.
173
00:10:55,809 --> 00:10:58,351
I have to fly to St. Louis tonight.
174
00:10:58,352 --> 00:11:00,395
"Somebody was strong-arming him,"
175
00:11:00,396 --> 00:11:02,314
and when I asked him who, he said, quote,
176
00:11:02,315 --> 00:11:04,566
- "people up the food chain."
- It's Washington.
177
00:11:04,567 --> 00:11:07,152
Congressmen get strong-armed all the time.
178
00:11:07,153 --> 00:11:09,863
My gut says it was Frank Underwood.
179
00:11:09,864 --> 00:11:12,365
He had nothing to do with Russo
before the shipyard closing,
180
00:11:12,366 --> 00:11:14,075
and then suddenly he's propping him up?
181
00:11:14,076 --> 00:11:15,577
That doesn't mean he was...
182
00:11:15,578 --> 00:11:17,871
Let's cut the bullshit
once and for all, Zoe.
183
00:11:17,872 --> 00:11:19,997
I know he's been feeding you your stories.
184
00:11:19,998 --> 00:11:23,627
I don't want to screw you over, but
I'm not gonna stop digging on this.
185
00:11:23,628 --> 00:11:25,504
I won't say he was a source.
186
00:11:25,505 --> 00:11:27,255
But you do know each other.
187
00:11:28,590 --> 00:11:32,177
Show me your notes, and I'll talk to him.
188
00:11:32,178 --> 00:11:35,138
These are the notes from the Capra call.
189
00:11:35,139 --> 00:11:37,474
And these are the transcripts
from the brac hearing.
190
00:11:37,475 --> 00:11:41,561
When they got to the Philadelphia
shipyard, Russo doesn't say anything.
191
00:11:43,647 --> 00:11:45,273
[Claire] That's fine.
192
00:11:45,274 --> 00:11:48,610
Yeah, I would just put
both of them in that file.
193
00:11:48,611 --> 00:11:51,488
Claire, I just got a call
from the P.R. office at Sancorp
194
00:11:51,489 --> 00:11:53,699
saying they wanted to send
a film crew to take footage
195
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:55,492
of our filtration project in Botswana.
196
00:11:55,493 --> 00:11:59,621
Right. They're just using
that for promotional material.
197
00:12:00,873 --> 00:12:03,000
Sancorp fought us on the watershed bill.
198
00:12:03,001 --> 00:12:05,794
They helped us get the
filters out of South Sudan.
199
00:12:05,795 --> 00:12:07,420
I thought that was the state department.
200
00:12:07,421 --> 00:12:10,047
No. You remember Remy Danton?
201
00:12:10,048 --> 00:12:11,424
You met him in your office
202
00:12:11,425 --> 00:12:13,552
right after you started working here.
203
00:12:13,553 --> 00:12:15,888
- The lobbyist.
- I asked him for his help.
204
00:12:15,889 --> 00:12:19,016
We're just returning the favor, that's all.
205
00:12:21,184 --> 00:12:25,355
Claire, they're against
everything we stand for.
206
00:12:25,356 --> 00:12:27,774
It's harmless. They'll send the video
207
00:12:27,775 --> 00:12:30,443
to a few of their investors
and make some commercials.
208
00:12:30,444 --> 00:12:32,487
This makes me very
uncomfortable... the idea...
209
00:12:32,488 --> 00:12:34,781
they are sending the film crew, Gillian,
210
00:12:34,782 --> 00:12:37,367
so please work with them on that.
211
00:12:47,711 --> 00:12:50,797
One of my colleagues is
looking into Peter Russo.
212
00:12:50,798 --> 00:12:55,052
The assumption is you strong-armed
him into closing the shipyard.
213
00:12:55,053 --> 00:12:57,554
Where does your colleague
get their information?
214
00:12:57,555 --> 00:12:59,389
I don't know.
215
00:12:59,390 --> 00:13:02,809
Allocating the D.O.D. budget
is always a free-for-all.
216
00:13:02,810 --> 00:13:04,394
Did you pressure him?
217
00:13:04,395 --> 00:13:06,021
There were certain people
that were gonna benefit
218
00:13:06,022 --> 00:13:07,689
from the base closing
sooner rather than later.
219
00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:09,399
I didn't strong-arm Peter.
220
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,694
I advised him to trade in a
losing hand for a winning one.
221
00:13:12,695 --> 00:13:14,320
How did he stand to win?
222
00:13:14,321 --> 00:13:16,573
He made allies out of enemies.
223
00:13:16,574 --> 00:13:18,408
That's a very valuable thing in Congress.
224
00:13:18,409 --> 00:13:20,159
I wish I could give you something juicier,
225
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,371
but the shipyard closing
was just politics as usual.
226
00:13:23,372 --> 00:13:27,084
I assume your colleague is Ms. Skorsky.
227
00:13:28,334 --> 00:13:30,378
Does she know we're talking?
228
00:13:30,379 --> 00:13:32,965
No. Of course not.
229
00:13:32,966 --> 00:13:35,050
Be in touch.
230
00:13:38,177 --> 00:13:41,556
More than you ever wanted to
know about Raymond Alan Tusk...
231
00:13:41,557 --> 00:13:45,102
the companies he controls,
political contributions.
232
00:13:45,103 --> 00:13:47,687
A GQ article entitled
"Backwoods billionaire"
233
00:13:47,688 --> 00:13:49,689
is about his humble midwestern lifestyle.
234
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:51,817
- Jesus.
- There's also a copy
235
00:13:51,818 --> 00:13:54,903
of the financial disclosure requirements
and details of the blind trust.
236
00:13:54,904 --> 00:13:57,990
I think the trust is
where you want to focus.
237
00:13:57,991 --> 00:13:59,950
Could Linda be behind all this?
238
00:13:59,951 --> 00:14:01,493
To what end?
239
00:14:01,494 --> 00:14:03,495
To get you out of town for a few days
240
00:14:03,496 --> 00:14:05,664
while they continue the search
without your interference.
241
00:14:05,665 --> 00:14:08,041
The President has no reason to mistrust me.
242
00:14:08,042 --> 00:14:10,502
Unless Linda told him you
want the vice presidency.
243
00:14:10,503 --> 00:14:12,879
No. She's in way too deep.
244
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,298
We misjudged her on the
secretary of state nomination.
245
00:14:15,299 --> 00:14:17,300
That was different. She blindsided me.
246
00:14:17,301 --> 00:14:19,427
Now she knows my eyes are wide open.
247
00:14:19,428 --> 00:14:21,429
Do you want the gaffney
bag or regular business?
248
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:24,057
Regular business. Tusk can
dress down if he wants to,
249
00:14:24,058 --> 00:14:25,517
but I'm representing the White House.
250
00:14:25,518 --> 00:14:27,602
Oh, and get Walter Doyle onto Tusk.
251
00:14:27,603 --> 00:14:29,855
- Let's see if we can dig up anything.
- I'll call him right now.
252
00:14:29,856 --> 00:14:32,190
And keep your eye on Janine
Skorsky while I'm away.
253
00:14:32,191 --> 00:14:34,151
She's been prying into Russo.
254
00:14:34,152 --> 00:14:36,528
- What does she know?
- She knows the right questions to ask.
255
00:14:36,529 --> 00:14:38,822
I want to make sure she
doesn't get the right answers.
256
00:14:38,823 --> 00:14:39,948
I'm on it.
257
00:14:41,158 --> 00:14:42,909
McCuddin.
258
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:47,497
McCuddin.
259
00:14:47,498 --> 00:14:49,248
What was that?
260
00:14:49,249 --> 00:14:51,584
Mccuddin Air Force Base.
261
00:14:51,585 --> 00:14:53,419
Brac hearing.
262
00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:55,630
Was there on April 12th.
263
00:14:55,631 --> 00:14:59,217
David Rasmussen stepped
down less than a week later.
264
00:14:59,218 --> 00:15:00,802
Womack takes his place. So maybe...
265
00:15:00,803 --> 00:15:03,221
Wait. Slow down.
266
00:15:03,222 --> 00:15:05,223
McCuddin is in his district.
267
00:15:05,224 --> 00:15:07,184
Is that the shipyard thing?
268
00:15:07,185 --> 00:15:09,394
[Buttons clicking]
269
00:15:09,395 --> 00:15:11,146
Janine, call me back.
270
00:15:11,147 --> 00:15:13,481
I think it was Womack who pressured Russo.
271
00:15:13,482 --> 00:15:18,195
Russo was probably just earning
a favor he could cash in later.
272
00:15:18,196 --> 00:15:19,821
I'm around.
273
00:15:19,822 --> 00:15:21,907
[Beeps]
274
00:15:21,908 --> 00:15:24,201
Did you ever have to
fight her to kill a story?
275
00:15:24,202 --> 00:15:26,203
- Janine?
- Yeah. When she worked for you.
276
00:15:26,204 --> 00:15:28,580
Only when I knew she was wrong.
277
00:15:28,581 --> 00:15:31,708
She's trying to draw up
this whole conspiracy thing
278
00:15:31,709 --> 00:15:35,336
with Russo and Frank Underwood
and the whole shipyard closing.
279
00:15:35,337 --> 00:15:36,880
But I'm pretty sure she's wrong.
280
00:15:36,881 --> 00:15:38,882
Pretty sure isn't the same as certain.
281
00:15:38,883 --> 00:15:40,800
- No. I am certain.
- How do you know?
282
00:15:40,801 --> 00:15:42,928
- I have sources.
- Underwood?
283
00:15:42,929 --> 00:15:45,304
No.
284
00:15:45,305 --> 00:15:48,516
No. Never mind. I'll figure it out.
285
00:16:36,231 --> 00:16:39,025
- Mrs. Tusk?
- Jean, please.
286
00:16:39,026 --> 00:16:41,027
You must be Frank. Come in.
287
00:16:41,028 --> 00:16:43,071
So nice to meet you.
288
00:16:43,072 --> 00:16:45,657
The guest room is this way.
289
00:16:45,658 --> 00:16:48,701
It is very kind of you to
have invited me to stay here.
290
00:16:48,702 --> 00:16:52,080
[Chuckles] Why waste the
taxpayers' money on a hotel
291
00:16:52,081 --> 00:16:54,124
when we have a perfectly good bed?
292
00:16:54,125 --> 00:16:56,709
Well, both they and I are very grateful.
293
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:59,587
I'm sorry Raymond isn't awake to greet you.
294
00:16:59,588 --> 00:17:02,381
- He goes to bed at...
- I know he's an early riser.
295
00:17:02,382 --> 00:17:04,634
I understand.
296
00:17:04,635 --> 00:17:07,137
Would you like a wake-up knock?
297
00:17:07,138 --> 00:17:09,681
No. I have an alarm on my phone.
298
00:17:09,682 --> 00:17:11,308
Sleep tight.
299
00:17:11,309 --> 00:17:13,392
Thank you so much.
300
00:17:24,403 --> 00:17:27,240
[Wood creaking]
301
00:17:27,241 --> 00:17:29,242
[Shuddering]
302
00:17:29,243 --> 00:17:32,620
[Voices whispering]
303
00:17:32,621 --> 00:17:34,706
[Footsteps]
304
00:17:54,726 --> 00:17:58,355
I would say good morning, but
it's the middle of the night.
305
00:18:02,275 --> 00:18:05,028
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- And you too.
306
00:18:06,363 --> 00:18:08,740
Was I making too much noise?
307
00:18:08,741 --> 00:18:11,201
No. I smelled bacon.
308
00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:15,496
Here.
309
00:18:17,999 --> 00:18:19,584
Coffee? Booze?
310
00:18:19,585 --> 00:18:21,669
At 2:00 A.M., you can go either way.
311
00:18:21,670 --> 00:18:23,755
Just water for now.
312
00:18:36,893 --> 00:18:40,397
It's filtered. Your wife would approve.
313
00:18:40,398 --> 00:18:43,441
You ever been to St. Louis before?
314
00:18:43,442 --> 00:18:45,777
Just the airport.
315
00:18:45,778 --> 00:18:47,153
What do you think so far?
316
00:18:47,154 --> 00:18:49,197
Well, I've only seen your neighborhood
317
00:18:49,198 --> 00:18:51,283
and whatever I could see out
the window on the interstate.
318
00:18:51,284 --> 00:18:53,451
Good enough. It's all pretty much the same.
319
00:18:53,452 --> 00:18:55,203
- * * [Tune on phone]
- Excuse me.
320
00:18:55,204 --> 00:18:57,956
[Beeps]
321
00:18:57,957 --> 00:19:00,041
[Speaking in Mandarin]
322
00:19:07,924 --> 00:19:10,343
Listen, um, I still haven't showered.
323
00:19:10,344 --> 00:19:12,845
My mind is on China here.
324
00:19:12,846 --> 00:19:16,141
Uh, what do you say you get a few more zs
325
00:19:16,142 --> 00:19:19,602
and we try this again in a
few hours with our clothes on?
326
00:19:19,603 --> 00:19:21,187
Sounds like a plan.
327
00:19:21,188 --> 00:19:22,939
Meet me at my office at 9:30.
328
00:19:22,940 --> 00:19:26,067
I'll have a driver pick you up.
329
00:19:26,068 --> 00:19:28,778
Can I ask why you do that?
330
00:19:28,779 --> 00:19:31,197
- Do what?
- Tap your ring like that.
331
00:19:31,198 --> 00:19:33,491
I've seen you do it on
TV. Two taps every time
332
00:19:33,492 --> 00:19:36,161
you get up from a table or leave a lectern.
333
00:19:36,162 --> 00:19:38,079
Something my father taught me.
334
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,747
It's meant to harden your knuckles
335
00:19:39,748 --> 00:19:41,958
so you don't break them
if you get into a fight.
336
00:19:41,959 --> 00:19:44,377
It also has the added
benefit of knocking on wood.
337
00:19:44,378 --> 00:19:47,046
My father believed that success
338
00:19:47,047 --> 00:19:50,049
is a mixture of preparation and luck.
339
00:19:50,050 --> 00:19:53,052
Tapping the table kills
both birds with one stone.
340
00:19:53,053 --> 00:19:56,473
Your father was a peach farmer?
341
00:19:57,974 --> 00:20:01,519
Yes, he was. Not a very successful one.
342
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,981
- Lack of preparation or lack of luck?
- Lack of both.
343
00:20:04,982 --> 00:20:07,775
He was better at giving
advice than following it.
344
00:20:07,776 --> 00:20:09,277
Hmm.
345
00:20:10,736 --> 00:20:13,865
- [Speaking in Mandarin]
- [Bird squawking]
346
00:20:17,243 --> 00:20:20,330
- [Continues in Mandarin]
- [Squawking continues]
347
00:20:20,331 --> 00:20:22,499
[Security device beeping]
348
00:20:32,008 --> 00:20:33,592
[Phone beeps]
349
00:20:33,593 --> 00:20:35,845
[Line ringing]
350
00:20:36,327 --> 00:20:40,080
Miss? Miss, your card.
351
00:20:40,081 --> 00:20:41,748
Thank you.
352
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:59,058
Ms. Gallagher, my name's Janine
Skorsky. I'm a reporter at Slugline.
353
00:20:59,059 --> 00:21:01,935
- I wrote the profile on Congressman...
- I remember.
354
00:21:01,936 --> 00:21:04,855
- Do you have a minute?
- If this is about Peter, I...
355
00:21:04,856 --> 00:21:07,524
No. It's about Paul Capra.
356
00:21:07,525 --> 00:21:11,111
We know that he might be running
for Congressman Russo's old seat.
357
00:21:11,112 --> 00:21:12,821
I can't comment on that.
358
00:21:12,822 --> 00:21:14,573
We're just trying to do some background
359
00:21:14,574 --> 00:21:16,158
on the shipyard closing last April.
360
00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:18,327
Listen, I just want to eat my breakfast.
361
00:21:18,328 --> 00:21:22,206
[Quietly] We have sources that
are saying that the Congressman
362
00:21:22,207 --> 00:21:26,835
was being pressured by someone
to not fight the closure.
363
00:21:26,836 --> 00:21:29,671
- Who?
- That's what I'm trying to figure out.
364
00:21:29,672 --> 00:21:33,800
This is completely off
the record, I promise you.
365
00:21:33,801 --> 00:21:36,720
- Hi, Christina.
- Doug, hi.
366
00:21:36,721 --> 00:21:38,764
- How you holding up?
- I'm okay.
367
00:21:38,765 --> 00:21:40,307
I'm... I'm good.
368
00:21:40,308 --> 00:21:42,726
I saw you sitting over
here. You mind if I...
369
00:21:42,727 --> 00:21:43,977
No. Please.
370
00:21:43,978 --> 00:21:45,979
Ms. Skorsky, right?
371
00:21:45,980 --> 00:21:48,941
I believe we spoke a few times
when you used to work at the herald.
372
00:21:48,942 --> 00:21:50,109
Whenever I could get past
373
00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:51,651
the press office gauntlet to you.
374
00:21:51,652 --> 00:21:54,196
- We do like to run a tight ship.
- Mm.
375
00:21:54,197 --> 00:21:56,156
So what brings you to the capitol?
376
00:21:56,157 --> 00:21:58,409
I was just asking Ms.
Gallagher who's running
377
00:21:58,410 --> 00:22:00,535
to fill the vacant seat
in Pennsylvania's 1st.
378
00:22:00,536 --> 00:22:03,747
Well, the honest answer is we don't know.
379
00:22:09,211 --> 00:22:11,797
Thank you for your time, Ms. Gallagher.
380
00:22:21,101 --> 00:22:22,477
Anyone starts harassing you
381
00:22:22,478 --> 00:22:24,104
with questions you don't want to answer,
382
00:22:24,105 --> 00:22:25,438
you let me know.
383
00:22:25,439 --> 00:22:27,316
I'll handle them.
384
00:22:27,317 --> 00:22:30,110
You got enough on your plate right now.
385
00:22:30,111 --> 00:22:33,655
Thanks, Doug. I appreciate that.
386
00:22:33,656 --> 00:22:35,741
Hang in there, okay?
387
00:22:58,264 --> 00:22:59,556
Yes.
388
00:23:02,101 --> 00:23:04,435
Ah.
389
00:23:04,436 --> 00:23:07,314
Uganda, Peru,
390
00:23:07,315 --> 00:23:11,318
Nepal, Indonesia...
391
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:12,861
Nicaragua.
392
00:23:12,862 --> 00:23:16,156
Well, you are quite the well traveled man.
393
00:23:16,157 --> 00:23:18,575
No. I'm the man who stays at home.
394
00:23:18,576 --> 00:23:20,702
Jean brought those back for me.
395
00:23:20,703 --> 00:23:22,955
- Mr. Tusk, I am...
- First names.
396
00:23:22,956 --> 00:23:25,624
After all, we have broken bacon together.
397
00:23:25,625 --> 00:23:28,252
We can safely assume that we're familiar.
398
00:23:28,253 --> 00:23:31,004
Raymond, I realize that
you are a very busy man,
399
00:23:31,005 --> 00:23:33,924
so I'm gonna cut right to the chase.
400
00:23:33,925 --> 00:23:36,260
The President sincerely would like you
401
00:23:36,261 --> 00:23:38,304
to become the next Vice President.
402
00:23:38,305 --> 00:23:39,805
That part I already knew.
403
00:23:39,806 --> 00:23:42,433
And I'm here to convince you to say yes.
404
00:23:42,434 --> 00:23:44,517
Another thing I already knew.
405
00:23:44,518 --> 00:23:47,354
Well, I don't know that I can tell
you anything you don't already know.
406
00:23:47,355 --> 00:23:51,482
- But perhaps you can tell me what your hesitation is.
- [Phone ringing]
407
00:23:54,987 --> 00:23:56,529
Speak.
408
00:24:00,826 --> 00:24:03,162
Yes.
409
00:24:03,163 --> 00:24:05,705
Now, I understand you
might have some concerns
410
00:24:05,706 --> 00:24:08,106
- about the financial disclosures leading...
- [Phone ringing]
411
00:24:11,462 --> 00:24:12,754
Speak.
412
00:24:16,549 --> 00:24:18,344
No.
413
00:24:19,470 --> 00:24:23,474
I have eight people representing me
414
00:24:23,475 --> 00:24:26,018
at eight simultaneous meetings
415
00:24:26,019 --> 00:24:27,936
in six time zones right now.
416
00:24:27,937 --> 00:24:30,439
I sit here and answer their questions,
417
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,358
provided they come in the form
418
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,652
of a single yes or no proposition.
419
00:24:35,653 --> 00:24:39,031
Well, then, let me give that a try.
420
00:24:39,032 --> 00:24:42,826
Would you like to be the Vice President?
421
00:24:42,827 --> 00:24:44,328
Yes or no?
422
00:24:44,329 --> 00:24:45,954
[Phone ringing]
423
00:24:45,955 --> 00:24:48,374
[Sighs]
424
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:50,917
Hold on a minute.
425
00:24:50,918 --> 00:24:52,752
I am very sorry.
426
00:24:52,753 --> 00:24:56,382
Let me have 20 minutes
to wrap up these meetings.
427
00:24:56,383 --> 00:24:59,218
And then what do you say
we get out of the office
428
00:24:59,219 --> 00:25:01,387
and away from this damn phone?
429
00:25:01,388 --> 00:25:02,721
Meet me at my car.
430
00:25:02,722 --> 00:25:05,682
Betty can tell you where it's parked.
431
00:25:05,683 --> 00:25:07,267
Go ahead.
432
00:25:08,185 --> 00:25:09,686
He's deflecting.
433
00:25:09,687 --> 00:25:11,688
What I can't tell is whether it's because
434
00:25:11,689 --> 00:25:14,983
he's inclined to say no or
wants to be wooed to say yes.
435
00:25:14,984 --> 00:25:17,819
Either way, I'll have to ease
him into the conversation,
436
00:25:17,820 --> 00:25:19,696
not be so blunt.
437
00:25:19,697 --> 00:25:22,699
[Sighs] This trip may
take longer than I thought.
438
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:26,328
[Woman] We've looked through
all the file cabinets.
439
00:25:26,329 --> 00:25:28,288
[Christina] They're not on his computer?
440
00:25:28,289 --> 00:25:31,582
[Woman] Not with the
Congressman's handwritten notes.
441
00:25:31,583 --> 00:25:34,794
[Christina] All right.
I'll check his office.
442
00:27:04,635 --> 00:27:06,637
Ah.
443
00:27:08,514 --> 00:27:11,891
There is a comfort to these woods.
444
00:27:15,979 --> 00:27:18,482
Like they're my backyard.
445
00:27:20,066 --> 00:27:21,985
[Chuckles]
446
00:27:21,286 --> 00:27:24,622
Well, they are my backyard,
in a way. I own them.
447
00:27:24,623 --> 00:27:26,373
How much land?
448
00:27:26,374 --> 00:27:28,668
Six thousand acres.
449
00:27:28,669 --> 00:27:32,755
You think I could get a tour of
your fulton plant while I'm in town?
450
00:27:34,214 --> 00:27:36,091
If you'd like.
451
00:27:36,092 --> 00:27:38,302
But I don't know why you'd want to be there
452
00:27:38,303 --> 00:27:39,929
when you could be out here.
453
00:27:39,930 --> 00:27:42,181
I've never seen a nuclear plant.
454
00:27:42,182 --> 00:27:44,141
Not much to see.
455
00:27:44,142 --> 00:27:47,561
Steel, concrete, a lot of steam.
456
00:27:48,729 --> 00:27:50,564
The President hasn't exactly been
457
00:27:50,565 --> 00:27:52,566
a big supporter of nuclear power.
458
00:27:52,567 --> 00:27:55,402
Is that, uh, part of your hesitation...
459
00:27:55,403 --> 00:27:57,571
that fear that the administration...
460
00:27:57,572 --> 00:28:00,366
He's just being savvy.
461
00:28:00,367 --> 00:28:04,453
Nuclear energy is a tough sell after Japan.
462
00:28:04,454 --> 00:28:06,998
But it's the only option we have right now
463
00:28:06,999 --> 00:28:10,459
that doesn't completely trash the planet.
464
00:28:10,460 --> 00:28:15,130
The argument against nuclear
power is an emotional one.
465
00:28:16,123 --> 00:28:19,126
And you don't make
decisions based on emotion.
466
00:28:20,835 --> 00:28:25,423
Decisions based on emotion
aren't decisions at all.
467
00:28:25,424 --> 00:28:28,802
They're instincts,
468
00:28:28,803 --> 00:28:31,304
which can be of value.
469
00:28:31,305 --> 00:28:34,682
The rational and the irrational
complement each other.
470
00:28:34,683 --> 00:28:38,937
Individually, they're far less powerful.
471
00:28:38,938 --> 00:28:40,855
And which category do your thoughts
472
00:28:40,856 --> 00:28:44,192
on the vice presidency fall into?
473
00:28:44,193 --> 00:28:47,028
[Bird singing]
474
00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:49,363
Do you hear that song?
475
00:28:50,531 --> 00:28:52,242
It's a hermit thrush.
476
00:28:52,243 --> 00:28:53,910
[Bird continues singing]
477
00:28:53,911 --> 00:28:55,954
Can't see him.
478
00:28:57,038 --> 00:28:59,124
"Solitary, the thrush..."
479
00:29:03,503 --> 00:29:08,382
"The hermit, withdrawn to himself,
480
00:29:08,383 --> 00:29:11,385
avoiding the settlements,
481
00:29:11,386 --> 00:29:14,681
sings by himself a song."
482
00:29:17,558 --> 00:29:20,145
- Do you know the poem?
- No, I don't.
483
00:29:20,146 --> 00:29:21,688
It's Walt Whitman.
484
00:29:21,689 --> 00:29:23,815
It's about the death of Abraham Lincoln.
485
00:29:23,816 --> 00:29:26,193
He's over there somewhere.
486
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:28,778
Yes, I know the damn poem.
487
00:29:28,779 --> 00:29:30,780
We studied it at the Sentinel.
488
00:29:30,781 --> 00:29:32,949
I said to my Professor,
"why mourn the death
489
00:29:32,950 --> 00:29:34,868
of Presidents, or anyone for that matter?
490
00:29:34,869 --> 00:29:36,286
The dead can't hear us."
491
00:29:36,287 --> 00:29:38,330
And he asked me if I believed in heaven.
492
00:29:38,331 --> 00:29:39,706
I said no.
493
00:29:39,627 --> 00:29:42,003
And then he asked if I had no faith in God.
494
00:29:42,004 --> 00:29:43,838
I said, "you have it wrong.
495
00:29:43,839 --> 00:29:46,591
It's God who has no faith in us."
496
00:29:47,508 --> 00:29:49,970
Deeper into the woods.
497
00:29:49,971 --> 00:29:51,930
I think you're being paranoid.
498
00:29:51,931 --> 00:29:55,016
He came up right after I
sat down. It was creepy.
499
00:29:55,017 --> 00:29:57,894
- I'm telling you, it was womack.
- Is that what Underwood said?
500
00:29:57,895 --> 00:30:00,354
He didn't name names. But who else?
501
00:30:00,355 --> 00:30:03,357
What's the big deal?
Congressmen trade favors.
502
00:30:03,358 --> 00:30:05,693
One of these congressmen committed suicide.
503
00:30:05,694 --> 00:30:08,155
I think you're stretching here,
Janine. To try and connect...
504
00:30:08,156 --> 00:30:09,948
I have gone after big fish before.
505
00:30:09,949 --> 00:30:11,950
I know what it feels like to be watched.
506
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,872
[Sighs]
507
00:30:17,873 --> 00:30:20,083
Underwood's education
bill went to the floor
508
00:30:20,084 --> 00:30:22,669
just three days after womack
became majority leader.
509
00:30:22,670 --> 00:30:25,880
You leaked the education bill. And
then there was the Kern article.
510
00:30:25,881 --> 00:30:28,549
- Those were two completely different stories.
- Wait. What was the guy?
511
00:30:28,550 --> 00:30:31,594
Uh, what was his name?
He's the one who told
512
00:30:31,595 --> 00:30:33,638
that Kern wrote the article
for the school paper.
513
00:30:33,639 --> 00:30:35,849
- Roy Kapeniak.
- You should go talk to him.
514
00:30:35,850 --> 00:30:38,893
- There's no link.
- Except you.
515
00:30:41,604 --> 00:30:43,564
Underwood's been using you, Zoe.
516
00:30:43,565 --> 00:30:45,692
Don't you want to know why?
517
00:30:48,111 --> 00:30:50,280
- [Phone ringing]
- Hi.
518
00:30:50,281 --> 00:30:52,073
[Woman] Remy Danton's on line two.
519
00:30:52,074 --> 00:30:54,450

[Tusk speaking in mandarin]
691
00:40:17,787 --> 00:40:19,913
- Did I wake you again?
- No.
692
00:40:19,914 --> 00:40:21,541
I'd like to talk.
693
00:40:21,542 --> 00:40:23,751
Give me a moment.
694
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,463
[Speaking in Mandarin]
695
00:40:34,970 --> 00:40:38,474

[Phone beeps]
697
00:40:52,850 --> 00:40:54,602
Carolina Parakeet.
698
00:40:54,603 --> 00:40:56,937
You're wrong, but you're close.
699
00:40:57,980 --> 00:41:00,107
This is the Sun Conure.
700
00:41:00,108 --> 00:41:01,984
They look very similar,
701
00:41:01,985 --> 00:41:05,029
but the Carolina Parakeet is extinct.
702
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,640
Was killed off because
it was considered a pest.
703
00:41:07,641 --> 00:41:10,643
Interesting species, though.
704
00:41:10,644 --> 00:41:11,670
Voracious appetite.
705
00:41:11,771 --> 00:41:14,561
And he was poison. Cats who ate him died.
706
00:41:16,151 --> 00:41:19,029
This bird is not the only
thing you've misidentified
707
00:41:19,030 --> 00:41:20,864
since you've been in St. Louis.
708
00:41:20,865 --> 00:41:23,658
You and Walker are old friends.
709
00:41:23,659 --> 00:41:25,994
I wasn't sent here to vet you.
710
00:41:25,995 --> 00:41:28,080
Very good.
711
00:41:28,081 --> 00:41:30,249
Tell me why I am here, then.
712
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:32,125
So I can vet you.
713
00:41:32,126 --> 00:41:34,878
For the vice presidency?
714
00:41:34,879 --> 00:41:39,549
The President values my advice,
and he tends to follow it.
715
00:41:39,550 --> 00:41:43,095
Like when I advised him not
to make you Secretary of State.
716
00:41:45,555 --> 00:41:47,182
[Sighs]
717
00:41:47,183 --> 00:41:49,184
That was very bad advice.
718
00:41:49,185 --> 00:41:51,103
Yes, it was.
719
00:41:51,104 --> 00:41:53,188
One of the larger mistakes I've made,
720
00:41:53,189 --> 00:41:56,858
and I very rarely make
mistakes of any size.
721
00:41:56,859 --> 00:42:01,821
You've proven yourself
to be quite difficult.
722
00:42:03,156 --> 00:42:06,785
Kern, the teachers' strike, now Matthews.
723
00:42:06,786 --> 00:42:08,828
You attribute all that to me?
724
00:42:08,829 --> 00:42:10,872
If I had to guess.
725
00:42:10,873 --> 00:42:15,127
A smart man once said to me that
speculation is a poor form of politics.
726
00:42:15,128 --> 00:42:17,212
Why don't you stick to
what you know, Raymond?
727
00:42:19,423 --> 00:42:23,468
What I know is you are extremely effective
728
00:42:23,469 --> 00:42:25,637
at what you set your mind to.
729
00:42:25,638 --> 00:42:27,555
That is valuable to me,
730
00:42:27,556 --> 00:42:31,351
and I've already told Garrett
that it could be valuable to him...
731
00:42:31,352 --> 00:42:36,022
somebody at his side with one
foot in the executive branch
732
00:42:36,023 --> 00:42:37,649
and one in the legislative.
733
00:42:37,650 --> 00:42:40,402
He is very open to the idea.
734
00:42:42,779 --> 00:42:45,782
My turn to speculate.
735
00:42:45,783 --> 00:42:48,827
Your recommendation...
736
00:42:48,828 --> 00:42:50,912
comes at a price.
737
00:42:56,251 --> 00:42:58,211
Fact.
738
00:42:58,212 --> 00:43:01,173
I have something that you want.
739
00:43:01,174 --> 00:43:04,259
- You have something that I want.
- [Chuckling]
740
00:43:04,260 --> 00:43:06,761
Have I said something amusing?
741
00:43:06,762 --> 00:43:10,432
Oh, I've just sat too many
times on your side of the table
742
00:43:10,433 --> 00:43:13,559
not to enjoy the irony of
finding myself on this side of it.
743
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,812
Would you like to hear what I want?
744
00:43:15,813 --> 00:43:18,398
I don't shackle myself
to people I don't know.
745
00:43:18,399 --> 00:43:21,818
What I want is one favor.
746
00:43:21,819 --> 00:43:25,405
One and only one.
747
00:43:25,406 --> 00:43:26,739
Which is?
748
00:43:26,740 --> 00:43:28,741
I need to be certain you'll grant it
749
00:43:28,742 --> 00:43:31,411
before I'll take the risk
of being more specific.
750
00:43:31,412 --> 00:43:32,996
A blank check.
751
00:43:32,997 --> 00:43:34,789
Of sorts.
752
00:43:34,790 --> 00:43:37,876
You would never grant anyone a blank check.
753
00:43:37,877 --> 00:43:41,171
No. But I'm not sitting
on that side of the table.
754
00:43:43,298 --> 00:43:46,301
We still believe in
handshakes where I come from.
755
00:43:46,302 --> 00:43:48,345
Do they still mean anything in Washington?
756
00:43:48,346 --> 00:43:51,848
- Who are you calling?
- Car service to get me to the airport.
757
00:43:51,849 --> 00:43:54,434
Frank,
758
00:43:54,435 --> 00:43:58,355
I will tell the President
that I want until Friday
759
00:43:58,356 --> 00:44:01,024
to think things over before
I make my recommendation.
760
00:44:01,025 --> 00:44:02,650
Let me know if you change your mind.
761
00:44:02,651 --> 00:44:04,319
And let me arrange the car for you.
762
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,654
Hi. I'd like to arrange a car, please.
763
00:44:06,655 --> 00:44:08,073
[Bird squawking]

[Toilet flushes]
765
00:44:12,618 --> 00:44:15,038
- How are you feeling?
- Better than yesterday.
766
00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:18,291
But I might take off early
if, uh, the nausea comes back.
767
00:44:18,292 --> 00:44:22,962
I find it interesting that you stay home the
day after you blow off the sancorp people.
768
00:44:22,963 --> 00:44:26,258
You weren't feeling sick, Gillian.
769
00:44:26,259 --> 00:44:31,137
I find it extremely offensive that you'd
accuse me of hiding behind my pregnancy.
770
00:44:31,138 --> 00:44:33,515
You knew what I wanted.
771
00:44:33,516 --> 00:44:35,016
The Botswana project is mine.
772
00:44:35,017 --> 00:44:37,936
Under my umbrella, using money I raised.
773
00:44:37,937 --> 00:44:40,439
You promised me autonomy.
774
00:44:41,565 --> 00:44:44,650
Um, excuse us for a moment, please.
775
00:44:48,988 --> 00:44:51,866
I promised to empower you.
That's not the same thing
776
00:44:51,867 --> 00:44:54,660
as you doing as you choose
without consulting me.
777
00:44:54,661 --> 00:44:57,705
I'm not gonna allow a project I've put
almost three years of my life into...
778
00:44:57,706 --> 00:45:01,000
your project wouldn't be happening
if it weren't for sancorp.
779
00:45:01,001 --> 00:45:02,668
I didn't ask for their help.
780
00:45:02,669 --> 00:45:05,547
How about consulting me
before you struck a deal?
781
00:45:05,548 --> 00:45:07,549
Let's get something very clear.
782
00:45:07,550 --> 00:45:11,303
I run the organization. You work for it.
783
00:45:11,304 --> 00:45:14,055
Our agreement is an affiliation, Claire.
784
00:45:14,056 --> 00:45:17,559
- Worldwell isn't your vassal.
- Yes, it is, entirely,
785
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,227
if we're going to be blunt about it.
786
00:45:19,228 --> 00:45:21,438
That's not what you
proposed six months ago.
787
00:45:21,439 --> 00:45:23,523
It's what you signed up for
when you signed the contract.
788
00:45:23,524 --> 00:45:25,733
There was a good faith
understanding that...
789
00:45:25,734 --> 00:45:27,944
And you dissolved that
good faith by disobeying me.
790
00:45:29,321 --> 00:45:32,240
- Disobeying you?
- Yes.
791
00:45:32,241 --> 00:45:34,159
[Scoffs]
792
00:45:35,076 --> 00:45:37,370
I threaten you, don't I?
793
00:45:37,371 --> 00:45:40,039
Nothing about you threatens me.
794
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,834
But maybe you should
take a leave of absence.
795
00:45:42,835 --> 00:45:45,003
Are you firing me?
796
00:45:45,004 --> 00:45:47,547
That's up to you, but
right now you should leave.
797
00:45:50,342 --> 00:45:52,802
[Door opens, closes]
798
00:45:52,803 --> 00:45:54,513
[Janine] Did you get her on record?
799
00:45:54,514 --> 00:45:56,473
[Zoe] No. She wouldn't
talk to me otherwise.
800
00:45:56,474 --> 00:45:59,267
[Janine] We need hard proof
that Underwood was behind it.
801
00:45:59,268 --> 00:46:01,811
[Zoe] This whole thing is
making me really nervous.
802
00:46:01,812 --> 00:46:03,938
[Janine] That you'll be exposed?
803
00:46:03,939 --> 00:46:06,441
[Zoe] Not that.
804
00:46:07,317 --> 00:46:09,444
It's Francis.
805
00:46:09,445 --> 00:46:12,322
If this really goes as deep as we
think, and he's already watching you...
806
00:46:12,323 --> 00:46:15,033
- You think he's dangerous?
- I know he is.
807
00:46:15,034 --> 00:46:18,911
Then that's why we have to keep going.
808
00:46:18,912 --> 00:46:21,080
- He crushes people...
- [Door opens]
809

[Footsteps]
810
00:46:26,211 --> 00:46:28,796
- Hey, Callum.
- Hey.
811
00:46:34,135 --> 00:46:37,681
- [Door opens]
- Look, if you weren't afraid, you wouldn't be doing your job.
812
00:46:37,682 --> 00:46:40,058
- [Door closes]
- The only articles that I have ever written
813
00:46:40,059 --> 00:46:42,394
that truly mattered
scared the shit out of me.
814
00:46:42,395 --> 00:46:46,064
We need to know about anything
that might've happened with Russo.
815
00:46:46,065 --> 00:46:49,401
Something Underwood
could have held over him.
816
00:46:49,402 --> 00:46:51,444
We have to go back to Christina Gallagher,
817
00:46:51,445 --> 00:46:53,154
see if she'll give us something.
818
00:46:53,155 --> 00:46:55,574
It can't be me. If I go
back for a second time...
819
00:46:55,575 --> 00:46:57,492
I'll do it.
820
00:46:57,153 --> 00:47:00,780
You honestly had no idea that
the President and Tusk were close?
821
00:47:00,781 --> 00:47:03,200
[Linda] He never showed
up once on any call sheet,
822
00:47:03,201 --> 00:47:06,578
phone log or schedule during the
campaign or since we've been in office.
823
00:47:06,579 --> 00:47:09,373
I'd love to believe you, Linda,
but I'm finding it very difficult.
824
00:47:09,374 --> 00:47:11,291
What would I gain by
keeping you in the dark?
825
00:47:11,292 --> 00:47:12,751
I am as shocked as you are, Frank.
826
00:47:12,752 --> 00:47:14,544
Well, don't let on that you know.
827
00:47:14,545 --> 00:47:16,838
- Of course not.
- What's the President saying?
828
00:47:16,839 --> 00:47:19,465
He wants to meet with you Tuesday
to get your report on Tusk.
829
00:47:19,466 --> 00:47:22,886
- That's a farce.
- Should I come up with a reason to delay the meeting?
830
00:47:22,887 --> 00:47:25,597
- No. Maybe we'll learn something. What time?
- 2:00 P.M.
831
00:47:25,598 --> 00:47:28,600
- All right. I'll be there. Thank you, Linda.
- [Phone clicks]
832
00:47:28,601 --> 00:47:31,853
- We have one week.
- To accomplish what exactly?
833
00:47:31,854 --> 00:47:35,399
To force Tusk's hand. He
wants me beholden to him? No.
834
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,318
We have to make him come crawling to me.
835
00:47:38,319 --> 00:47:41,405
What's his weakness?
836
00:47:41,406 --> 00:47:42,864
His fortune.
837
00:47:42,865 --> 00:47:44,950
Wouldn't you say that's his strength?
838
00:47:44,951 --> 00:47:47,160
Not if it's slipping away.
839
00:47:47,161 --> 00:47:49,537
- How do you make 40 billion disappear overnight?
- We can't.
840
00:47:49,538 --> 00:47:51,915
But maybe we can create the
illusion that it's in danger.
841
00:47:51,916 --> 00:47:54,000
The brief you gave me on his assets.
842
00:47:54,001 --> 00:47:59,214
How much of his total net
worth is... in nuclear power?
843
00:47:59,215 --> 00:48:02,634
About a third. Sixteen reactors
here in the states, 37 worldwide.
844
00:48:02,635 --> 00:48:04,677
Well, that's what we hit him with.
845
00:48:04,678 --> 00:48:06,305
We go after his nuclear interests.
846
00:48:06,306 --> 00:48:09,099
Even so, he's got 25
billion in other investments.
847
00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:11,351
Doug, this is a man who built
his fortune from nothing.
848
00:48:11,352 --> 00:48:13,270
The money doesn't mean anything to him.
849
00:48:13,271 --> 00:48:15,147
It's what it represents.
850
00:48:15,148 --> 00:48:17,190
- Which is what?
- His life's work.
851
00:48:17,191 --> 00:48:19,734
Get Remy Danton on the phone. Set
up a meeting as quickly as you can.
852
00:48:19,735 --> 00:48:22,528
You got it.
853
00:48:22,529 --> 00:48:26,116
Tusk understands the difference
between power and money.
854
00:48:26,117 --> 00:48:28,201
That's precisely what makes him dangerous.
855
00:48:28,202 --> 00:48:32,164
He doesn't measure his wealth in
private jets but purchased souls.
856
00:48:32,165 --> 00:48:35,959
I've worked too hard to get
within arm's reach of the prize
857
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:40,046
only to have my hand cut
off just before I seize it.
858
00:48:40,047 --> 00:48:43,467
Zoe Barnes, here to
see Christina Gallagher.
859
00:48:45,177 --> 00:48:46,970
I'm sorry. I don't see an appointment.
860
00:48:46,971 --> 00:48:48,972
Oh, there must be a
mistake. I have an 11:30.
861
00:48:48,973 --> 00:48:50,514
One second.
862
00:48:52,017 --> 00:48:54,186
- [Phone ringing]
- My name is Zoe Barnes.
863
00:48:54,187 --> 00:48:57,397
I work at Slugline. You spoke
to my colleague Janine Skorsky.
864
00:48:57,398 --> 00:49:00,692
- Miss...
- Oh, we're fine, thanks.
865
00:49:00,693 --> 00:49:02,444
You can't just come in here...
866
00:49:02,445 --> 00:49:04,612
there are things you
don't know about Peter.
867
00:49:04,613 --> 00:49:08,532
- I wrote the article about Roy Kapeniak.
- Please leave. Right now.
868
00:49:08,533 --> 00:49:10,994
It was Peter who convinced
him to talk to me.
869
00:49:10,995 --> 00:49:14,414
What? I don't... I don't understand.
870
00:49:14,415 --> 00:49:16,708
- Why would he...
- Somebody pressured him to do it.
871
00:49:16,709 --> 00:49:21,171
The night of January 24th. That's
when he went to speak to Kapeniak.
872
00:49:21,172 --> 00:49:24,966
Do you remember anything strange
around the time of the inauguration?
873
00:49:24,967 --> 00:49:27,427
- Anything that could have been held over him?
- No, I don't.
874
00:49:27,428 --> 00:49:32,057
If he was mixed up in things that in
any way contributed to his suicide,
875
00:49:32,058 --> 00:49:34,184
wouldn't you want to know?
876
00:49:34,185 --> 00:49:36,602
I'm not trying to cause you any more pain.
877
00:49:36,603 --> 00:49:38,771
I just want the truth.
878
00:49:38,772 --> 00:49:40,940
And you deserve that more than anyone.
879
00:49:43,402 --> 00:49:45,695
- What was the date?
- The 24th of January.
880
00:49:49,408 --> 00:49:51,034
[Keyboard clacking]
881
00:49:51,035 --> 00:49:53,286
[Mouse clicking]
882
00:49:53,287 --> 00:49:54,450
[Keyboard clacking]
