00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,525
Lucas Goodwin
was released from a federal detention center
3
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,251
in Terre Haute, Indiana, two months ago.
4
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,164
FBI investigators searched
his witness protection residence
5
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,322
- in Dayton, Ohio...
- Why was he even out of jail?
6
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,250
He helped the DOJ
with an ongoing investigation.
7
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,606
How did you not know that?
8
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,923
WITSEC.
Only need-to-know for security reasons.
9
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,324
We found this today at his house.
A suicide note, I guess.
10
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,566
This can't go public.
11
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,611
We haven't told the press anything.
But this is evidence.
12
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,563
Once the report comes out...
13
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,041
Email this to me.
14
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,125
Mrs. Underwood?
15
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,925
It's 2:00 in the morning.
Would you like to go home?
16
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,402
- Yes, I'll be out in a moment.
- Yes, ma'am.
17
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,527
His liver is just not
regenerating fast enough.
18
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:00,683
What does that mean, exactly?
19
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,604
He needs a transplant,
or he'll die.
20
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:06,604
- How soon?
- Days.
21
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,523
We've made him Status 1.
22
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,410
I'm optimistic we'll find
him a suitable liver.
23
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,005
The recipient list is classified.
24
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,845
You're the only two members
of the administration who've been briefed.
25
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,686
- Is the First Lady aware?
- Yes, I informed her this afternoon.
26
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,760
May I?
27
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,761
Please.
28
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,768
I know it's late, but they said you were up.
29
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,127
No, I know. I just hadn't eaten all day.
30
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,770
I'm sure you haven't.
31
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:42,049
- Would you like some salad?
- Sure. Thank you.
32
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,201
It's scary, about Frank.
33
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,126
Well, Francis is a fighter.
34
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,325
I wish I could ask his advice.
I have my call with Petrov in the morning.
35
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,324
I feel good about
my understanding of the plan.
36
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,124
My concern is him
railroading me on the call.
37
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,169
Well, would you like me to be on it?
An extra set of ears.
38
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,971
I don't know
how Cathy would feel about that.
39
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,767
Well, she doesn't need to know.
40
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,166
I could just listen from up here.
41
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,451
And maybe I could type a note
if you get into trouble.
42
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,281
...tight-lipped on the president's recovery.
43
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,370
As of now, he's reported
to be in stable condition.
44
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,442
No press has been allowed into the hospital.
45
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,411
Republican presidential hopeful
Will Conway
46
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,370
spoke of the president
at a rally in Arizona this morning.
47
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,488
I've criticized
President Underwood often.
48
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,688
But right now, he's our president,
49
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,570
and we have to pull together,
both sides of the aisle...
50
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,642
We're all out. Sorry, come back tomorrow.
51
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,722
- We're all out, guys.
- Are you serious?
52
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,962
Come back tomorrow. We're all out for today.
53
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,121
Bullshit!
54
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,011
Hey, uh...
55
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,564
Can I siphon a couple of gallons from you?
56
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,370
Fifty bucks. I'm running on fumes.
57
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,084
I gotta get my kids to school,
and my husband to work.
58
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,891
- Eighty bucks, two gallons.
- Sorry, I can't help you. Sorry.
59
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,124
- The line's open?
- Moscow is ready when you are, sir.
60
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,644
You can set it up here.
61
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,726
My Cliff Notes.
62
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,201
I'm ready.
63
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,131
Mr. President,
you're on with President Petrov.
64
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,247
Mr. President.
65
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,448
All of Russia is praying
for the president's recovery.
66
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,291
I hope you will extend
my warm thoughts to Mrs. Underwood.
67
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,527
I certainly will.
68
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,089
You're a brave man to take over
during such difficult times.
69
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,647
I just want to make sure we find
a manageable resolution to this oil...
70
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,286
I've read some of your books, Mr. President.
71
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,490
I just finished Learning to Learn.
It was good.
72
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,766
Thank you.
73
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,367
There was a chapter on visualization
that really interested me.
74
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,763
Yes, it's, uh, a tool for students.
It helps them...
75
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,969
I would like you to visualize something.
76
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,481
You're standing in the tundra.
77
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,765
Uh, wind, snow,
78
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,726
machines drilling through the ice,
79
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,202
long pipelines stretching to the horizon.
Do you see?
80
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,170
If you want to talk about Siberia,
I'm more than happy to...
81
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,810
No, no, no.
You're not visualizing, Mr. Vice President.
82
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,802
Close your eyes.
83
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,491
All right. They're closed.
84
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,286
Good. Now,
85
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,048
picture the men working
those drills and pipelines.
86
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,606
What do they look like?
87
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Um, heavy coats, gloves, boots.
88
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,405
Are they Chinese?
89
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,370
You see, when I picture this,
I don't see Chinese.
90
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,447
I agree with you.
The less control the Chinese have, the better.
91
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,608
Then why did you send Milkin to China?
92
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,690
You weren't negotiating with us.
We thought they might have more luck.
93
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,207
Their demands would leave us
worse off than we were before.
94
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,442
I can get the IMF
to provide half the bailout.
95
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,762
This would counteract the Chinese demands
for drilling rights...
96
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,163
- You are playing us off each other.
- Mr. President...
97
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,081
I think you're in over your head, Mr. Blythe.
98
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,328
If you would just give me
a chance to elaborate...
99
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,609
Why give you a chance? What do you know
about Russia? About China?
100
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,450
I've been briefed on...
101
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Forgive me, but, uh...
102
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,207
I don't feel comfortable negotiating
with anyone other than the president.
103
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,761
When he recovers,
perhaps he and I can speak.
104
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,960
So, are we finished?
105
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,364
- The president's in very bad shape.
- Sir...
106
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,649
How serious is it?
107
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,164
He needs a liver transplant.
108
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,480
I wasn't aware that...
109
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,369
You better get used to negotiating with me.
110
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,848
If the president dies, it's you and I,
111
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,923
or nothing at all.
112
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,091
My apologies, Mr. President.
I didn't intend to insult you.
113
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,925
Let's keep a dialogue open.
That's all I'm asking.
114
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,686
I'd like the opportunity to present you
with a detailed proposal
115
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,205
countering the Chinese demands.
116
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,409
I'll have Secretary Durant
work with your foreign minister,
117
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,249
and then we'll take it from there.
118
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,691
Are you open to that?
119
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,286
Of course.
I look forward to reviewing your proposal.
120
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,923
Thank you, Mr. President.
121
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,282
Sir, we didn't want that
to get out to the press yet.
122
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,050
The American people
deserve to know anyway.
123
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,248
Sir, the Russians don't respond
well to weakness.
124
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,890
Now that they know that the president...
125
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,361
You heard him say he's open to negotiation.
126
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,648
I'd say that's progress.
127
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,247
Four days and still nothing?
No press conference, no briefing.
128
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,767
We have to let them conduct
their investigation on their own terms.
129
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,008
- Feels like we're being shut out.
- This isn’t just the bureau.
130
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,606
They have to coordinate with Homeland
and make sure nothing sensitive...
131
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:59,048
That's bullshit. There's something about
Goodwin that you don't want us to know.
132
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,326
Wrong.
133
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,926
I wanna know why he did this
just as much as you do,
134
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,128
but we've gotta let the FBI do its job.
135
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,244
Same theory as when I visited him.
136
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,041
And that was before
he struck the plea, correct?
137
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,841
I encouraged him to plead guilty.
His claims were unsubstantiated.
138
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,644
Tell us about your meeting
with the president
139
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,921
prior to that meeting with Goodwin.
140
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,363
Lucas asked me to investigate. I did.
141
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,767
That involved an interview with Underwood.
142
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,842
You still have your notes?
143
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,291
No notes without a warrant.
144
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,922
Oh...
145
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,167
The press. Calling non-stop.
146
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,203
We suggest you don't speak to anyone
while we're...
147
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,642
Don't worry. I don't have any interest
in getting dragged into this.
148
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,284
Let me go dig up those notes.
149
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,962
Blythe... He told Petrov
the president needs a transplant.
150
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,522
- Why would he do that?
- Petrov got under his skin.
151
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,728
This is why we should've carried out
your husband's plan.
152
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,524
We're giving Moscow
too much room to maneuver...
153
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,444
Let's not debate
what we can't change, Doug.
154
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,008
If Moscow knows,
we'll have to notify the press.
155
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,687
We're doing that tomorrow.
Dr. Saxon will do the briefing.
156
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,688
No, I'll do it.
It's better coming from the First Lady.
157
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,126
I agree.
158
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,528
We need to address this, too.
159
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,125
The FBI found Goodwin's notes
in his house.
160
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,045
- Can we make them disappear?
- No, it's already been catalogued.
161
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,771
We need to get out ahead of it
and control the story.
162
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,726
All right. Get me a copy
and report on the investigation so far.
163
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,564
I wanna see him.
164
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,921
The president.
165
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,761
The Secret Service still won't let me.
166
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,764
I'd like Mr. Stamper to have access
to my husband, please.
167
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,644
We have strict orders, ma'am.
Only you and...
168
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,371
Would you like me to call
the vice president myself?
169
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,761
Douglas, this young man
will escort you to his room.
170
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,325
Thank you.
171
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,850
- What time is it?
- It's a little past 7:00.
172
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,561
Sir? Sir, it's Doug.
173
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,684
Just because his eyes are open
doesn't mean he's fully conscious.
174
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,364
Insufficient liver function.
175
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,245
His brain is swimming
in a pool of unprocessed ammonia.
176
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,324
If he's seeing anything,
it's probably severe hallucinations.
177
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,931
How long until he has a liver?
178
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,725
Could be hours. Could be days.
179
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320
- He's number three on the list.
- Number three?
180
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,722
It's prioritized in terms of need
and who was listed first as a Status 1.
181
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,850
- He's the President of the United States.
- It's the law.
182
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,608
The attorney general is resigning.
183
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,966
Add that to the press release
for this afternoon.
184
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,209
- Uh, her decision or the vice president's?
- My decision.
185
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,408
Goodwin's WITSEC
was a DOJ responsibility.
186
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,925
We needed a head to roll.
187
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,449
First hers, then yours.
188
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,484
You'll resign tomorrow.
189
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,084
Uh, Doug, I know you're under
a lot of pressure, but...
190
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,004
You sent the photo of the rebel soldier.
191
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,689
- That's not true.
- Personal phone, off the premises.
192
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,244
Maybe somebody hacked my account or...
193
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,001
Are you really gonna keep lying to me?
I could have you arrested.
194
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:02,761
But I'd rather you go quietly.
195
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,650
I know things, Doug.
196
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,290
Nothing you can prove.
197
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,048
Now, threaten me again.
198
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,647
There's no proposal
without China's involvement.
199
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,050
Now, Cathy's tried, but she doesn't have
the best relationship with them.
200
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,527
Maybe she needs some help.
201
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,011
Help? How?
202
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,365
- Do you mind if I smoke?
- Of course not.
203
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,561
I quit about 10 years ago.
204
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,889
Marjory forced me to.
205
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,321
Ah...
206
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,367
Still smells delicious.
207
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,370
What was it like when Marjory died?
208
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,569
Oh, well, it was, um...
209
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,967
I'm sorry. We don't have to talk about it
if you don't want.
210
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,405
No, it's fine.
211
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,284
We hadn't had
a real conversation in months.
212
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,890
Her mind was gone.
213
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,449
When she finally died,
it felt like a limb had been hacked off.
214
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,086
I felt devastated.
215
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,403
But I also felt relieved.
216
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,923
That's what I feel about my mother.
217
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,808
Oh, it hadn't even occurred to me.
You have Frank and your mother.
218
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,129
When my father died, it destroyed me,
219
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,568
but when I think about Mother,
I feel nothing.
220
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,484
- You two aren't close?
- No.
221
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,282
And I feel the same about Francis. Nothing.
222
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,443
I know that must sound awful.
223
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,689
It's a lot to process.
224
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,961
There's no right way or wrong way.
225
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,720
- Ah! Wait, hold on.
- No. Marjory wouldn't approve.
226
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:42,521
- We got sidetracked.
- Yes.
227
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,930
China.
228
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,169
I have an idea,
if you can trust me to handle it.
229
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,447
I'd trust you with my goddamn life, Claire.
230
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,009
You don't want to know.
231
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,323
I got it.
232
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,010
Ah, merci.
233
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,681
Maman...
234
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,210
- LeAnn.
- You are a tough guy to track down.
235
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,687
- What are you doing here?
- You have a plane to catch.
236
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,571
The First Lady needs your help.
237
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,768
I don't want to have
anything to do with them.
238
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,003
Whatever you think of the president,
you still have a duty to your country.
239
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,368
Even if he dies,
the day I walked out the White House,
240
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,488
I promised myself I wasn't going back.
241
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,449
You don't even know what we have in mind.
242
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,091
It doesn't matter. I'm not going.
243
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,045
I'd like you to leave.
244
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,530
- Here's your briefing materials.
- You're not hearing me.
245
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,602
You should really take a look.
246
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,923
Her campaign would be over.
247
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,528
And what would your parents think?
248
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,082
It looks like you're taking
advantage of the fact that he's...
249
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,446
Conway is still campaigning.
250
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,120
He's a Republican and
he's already wrapped up his nomination.
251
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,367
Apples and oranges.
252
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,841
We are gonna lose, if we sit still,
to a guy who's unconscious.
253
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,605
Heather's right. Underwood's scoring
major sympathy points.
254
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,769
He's ahead in six of the next seven states.
255
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,685
We need to keep the pressure up.
Russia, gas prices...
256
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,047
Attack a president
who's fighting for his life?
257
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:52,647
I didn't call this meeting to debate.
I want those states back.
258
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,086
So let's start organizing events
and media hits.
259
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,640
Prelim budgets and schedules
by tomorrow morning.
260
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,090
There has been much speculation
261
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,447
as to Goodwin's motivations.
262
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,766
Cynthia.
263
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,641
- Where are we on Goodwin?
- The security guy's taken care of.
264
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,923
He never saw the two of you together.
265
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,448
- What about others?
- None that he knows of.
266
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,130
But it's not like we can ask around.
267
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:22,804
In November of 2013,
268
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,003
Ms. Barnes was struck
by a D.C. Metrorail train.
269
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,448
D.C. police classified it as an accident.
Some have speculated that...
270
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,845
Have a seat, Remy.
271
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,049
Sorry about Frank.
272
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,686
Oh, please, don't bother.
I've had enough people say they're sorry,
273
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,689
and I know you don't mean it.
274
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,843
I can't help you the way you want me to.
275
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,370
- LeAnn told me she was very clear with you.
- It won't work.
276
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,483
Tusk wants to help you even less than I do.
277
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,682
Well, nobody's doing any favors here, Remy.
278
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,649
He's going to get very rich from this.
279
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,650
- Why don't you speak to him yourself?
- Because he won't listen to me.
280
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,047
This needs to seem like your idea, not mine.
281
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,531
- And you'll make a killing, too.
- I don't need the money.
282
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,161
Mmm.
283
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:30,522
Because you care about other things now.
284
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,365
Like Jackie.
285
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,722
Which is why you'll make this happen.
286
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,927
If I had told Dunbar about Frank,
287
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,445
about how he knew about the laundering,
288
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,570
he wouldn't be president
and we wouldn't be standing here.
289
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,247
But you didn't and you can't now,
so here we are.
290
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,965
Two hours and we got nowhere.
All he wants to hear is China.
291
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,163
I told him Beijing is not responsive.
He doesn't give a damn.
292
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,730
The First Lady put a bug in his ear.
293
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,127
Whatever bug she put in there
won't crawl out.
294
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,964
I'll set up a meeting. Just you, me and him.
295
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,889
I don't think a meeting is enough.
296
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,407
We have a vice president that
does not know what he is doing, Doug.
297
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,451
He needs to completely turn over all
diplomatic affairs to the State Department.
298
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,609
- Otherwise, my hands are tied.
- Not now.
299
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,000
This can't wait.
300
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,650
When we're finished,
I will come and find you.
301
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,642
Could you give us a few moments,
Madam Secretary?
302
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,762
- Seth, you're out of line!
- It's all right.
303
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,201
Call me.
304
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,322
I will. Thank you, Cathy.
305
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,246
Thank you.
306
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,491
- What the fuck are you doing?
- You can't fire me.
307
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,921
You don't interrupt a meeting
with the Secretary of State.
308
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,448
I can end Dunbar's campaign.
We can end it today.
309
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,647
How?
310
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,609
If I deliver, will you keep me on?
311
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,765
You tell me how first.
312
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,880
Have a seat, Martha.
313
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,809
I've had second thoughts
about your resignation.
314
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,167
Would you like to remain
as attorney general?
315
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,362
Yes, I would.
316
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:26,485
Thank you, Doug.
317
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,651
Did Heather Dunbar inform you of a meeting
between herself and Lucas Goodwin?
318
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,329
You're having me interrogated
by my own subordinates?
319
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,165
They only work for you if you keep your job.
320
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,607
I suggest you answer their questions.
321
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,690
- I'd like a lawyer present.
- Let me remind you, ma'am.
322
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,724
Failing to have informed us
constitutes withholding of evidence.
323
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,325
Heather is a friend.
324
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,121
It's very simple, Martha.
You work with us, you stay on as AG.
325
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,521
You don't, we prosecute.
326
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:04,522
Ladies and gentlemen,
the First Lady of the United States.
327
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:07,805
Good afternoon, everyone.
328
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,486
I'd like to update you
on my husband's recovery.
329
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,366
The president's medical team
gave me a full assessment last night
330
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,363
and they have come to the conclusion
331
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:23,527
that the president is in need
of a liver transplant if he's to survive.
332
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,362
I'm asking the nation to pray with me
333
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,888
that a healthy liver
makes its way to Francis soon.
334
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,688
I'm sorry. A moment.
335
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,690
I'm sorry.
336
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,570
She's good, isn't she?
337
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,446
- What're you doing here?
- As for the investigation...
338
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,244
First Lady wanted some support.
339
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,044
...the FBI director of counterterrorism
340
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,963
will give you a full briefing.
341
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,050
But I feel it's important
to personally address
342
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,402
the document found
in Mr. Goodwin's residence
343
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,044
that was made available to you
just before this conference.
344
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,249
It's filled with language that would make
for flashy headlines,
345
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,370
words like "murder," "corruption."
346
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,884
The accusation that the president
was involved in the deaths
347
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,610
of Peter Russo and Zoe Barnes.
348
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,043
Phrases like "abuse of power,"
349
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,086
while they have no basis in reality,
350
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,722
they do give us a sad glimpse
into a very troubled mind.
351
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,246
And it pains me that anyone,
even someone who is mentally ill,
352
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,291
would think my husband is capable
of what Mr. Goodwin believed to be true.
353
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,967
But mostly it pains me
for Mr. Goodwin's parents,
354
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,607
who are coping with the loss of their son.
355
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,361
By all accounts,
he was a decent man for most of his life,
356
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,649
but clearly, something snapped in him
357
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,167
and he never got the help
he so desperately needed.
358
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,644
So I ask that all of you
respect his parents' grief
359
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,963
by not sensationalizing
the words of a sick young man.
360
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,691
And let's remember
Lawrence and Betty Meechum,
361
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,647
whose son Edward gave his life because
of Mr. Goodwin's illness.
362
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,361
Edward's sacrifice is the only reason
my husband is still alive.
363
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,804
And I'll be forever grateful for
his friendship and his devoted service.
364
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,331
Thank you.
365
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,165
Counterterrorism Director
Nathan Green.
366
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,569
Today we had a new development
in the investigation.
367
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,450
This afternoon
we interviewed the attorney general.
368
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,961
She gave us a full account
of a conversation she had
369
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,168
with Heather Dunbar
the day of the shooting.
370
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,846
In this conversation,
Ms. Dunbar claimed to have met
371
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,406
with Lucas Goodwin personally.
372
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,005
And while we have no reason to believe
373
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,806
Ms. Dunbar had anything to do
with the assassination attempt,
374
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,489
we will be questioning her
about this alleged conversation.
375
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,040
Are you arresting her?
376
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,889
No, ma'am.
We're just here to ask a few questions.
377
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,961
You need
to make a formal request.
378
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,081
Is she here now?
379
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,605
Send the request directly to me,
380
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,001
and then I'll discuss it
with Ms. Dunbar's attorneys.
381
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,846
Hey, Kate.
382
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,002
I tried calling. Home and cell.
383
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,481
Pulled out the cord. Turned off the cell.
384
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,410
'Cause of people like me.
385
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,211
The others had the courtesy
not to show up on my doorstep.
386
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,890
Courtesy never got me anywhere.
387
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,085
Can we talk? Off the record.
388
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,005
- If it were anyone but you...
- Well, luckily, it isn't.
389
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,008
Let me get Fausto. It's time for his walk.
390
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,681
I'm in the nuclear game, not fossil fuels.
391
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,847
No one has the relationships
you do in China.
392
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,001
Ah.
393
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,210
Chinese disowned me.
394
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,605
They'll come around.
395
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,810
Who put you up to this?
396
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,807
- Starting my own firm.
- I thought you were out?
397
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,326
I was fooling myself.
398
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,770
So, president gets shot,
399
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,890
and you just can't help
taking advantage of the chaos.
400
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,566
What you call chaos, I call opportunity.
401
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,571
And you're my first client.
402
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,964
I wish you the best.
403
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,448
But I'm not your first client.
404
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,447
I don't want to have
anything to do with the White House.
405
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,404
You lost a lot of money
during the Walker scandal.
406
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,161
I did, indeed,
which is why I'm turning you down.
407
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,005
I'm sorry you came
all the way out here for a "no."
408
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,329
You don't wanna go to prison, do you?
409
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,603
- Lose the rest of it?
- I've already been pardoned.
410
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,205
For the money laundering, not for perjury.
411
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,604
You said that Walker knew, and he didn't.
412
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,003
What you didn't say
is that you were working with Frank.
413
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,687
Why should anybody
believe you more than me?
414
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,484
You take that chance,
415
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,443
and watch Clayton West become
a penny stock.
416
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,329
Or we're heroes for ending the oil crisis,
417
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,370
everybody gets rich, your image is restored.
418
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,724
They'll probably even let you choose
the next ambassador in Beijing.
419
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,086
- So you don't think any of it is true?
- No.
420
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,163
And I wanted to believe him.
421
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,927
So the First Lady's whole teary-eyed thing?
422
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,884
I think she's right.
Something in Lucas snapped.
423
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,723
The Lucas I knew
wouldn't have tried to kill a president.
424
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,366
Exactly. That's my point.
425
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,047
You honestly think
Underwood was murdering people?
426
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,685
Where is your skepticism?
427
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,843
I'm skeptical of Lucas
and I'm skeptical of the White House.
428
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,446
How come there's no proof? None.
429
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,050
After Lucas tried, after I tried.
430
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,081
My advice is to let it go.
431
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,886
You're gonna repeat
the same goose chase we did.
432
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:22,529
I had to ask.
433
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:26,208
- What does your editor say?
- To let it go.
434
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,771
You see?
435
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,963
- He's not as good as you are.
- Was.
436
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,530
Wish you were at the Telegraph.
437
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,328
Yeah, let me know if anyone gets fired.
438
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,211
It's open.
439
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,891
I came as soon as I got your text.
440
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,560
We've been slammed
since the press conference.
441
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,721
How's it looking?
442
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,564
Major play on the Dunbar story.
443
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,481
It was a good idea
to have the First Lady talk.
444
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,286
You want a soda?
445
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,164
A glass of water or anything?
446
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,561
Water's fine.
447
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,323
I've decided you can stay.
448
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,766
Doug, I hope you can understand.
449
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:26,321
I got nervous.
450
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,681
Things weren't looking good and...
451
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:32,607
Yeah, I wanted an out, in case I needed one.
452
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,248
I mean, it was a mistake. I wish I hadn't.
453
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,444
You corrected your mistakes.
That's all that matters. You want ice?
454
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,971
Sure.
455
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,651
We can't afford anymore shake-ups
in the campaign right now,
456
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,967
especially with the
president in the hospital.
457
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,041
Mmm-hmm.
458
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,284
We also can't afford
anymore of your mistakes.
459
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,169
Shut up. Shut up!
460
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,007
When I first woke up, I couldn't speak.
461
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,885
I had to blink my eyes if I wanted to respond.
Do you understand?
462
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,442
If I can't get your loyalty...
463
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,363
I will have your obedience.
464
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,641
Blink.
465
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:21,641
Blink!
466
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,811
Fuck!
467
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,330
Fucking...
468
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:47,887
Here.
469
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,569
You're fucked up, man.
470
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,163
- Quit it.
- Good morning, Mr. Hammerschmidt.
471
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:13,287
How can I help you?
472
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,600
Uh,
we're just returning your notes.
473
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,921
We made copies. These are the originals.
474
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,565
Nothing too useful, huh?
475
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,728
No, sir, but thank you for your cooperation.
476
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,570
Your paper, too. It was on the step.
477
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,489
You have a good day, Mr. Hammerschmidt.
478
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:26,051
You, too.
479
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,565
Don't tell me you're hungry already.
I just fed you. Good God.
480
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,160
I'm coming. I'm coming.
481
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,405
- 'Morning.
- 'Morning.
482
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,645
I suggest we turn the negotiations
over to Cathy.
483
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,603
If we keep stalling on Russia,
gas prices will...
484
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,131
Now is not a good time.
485
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,241
I won't have the president come back
to a White House in disarray.
486
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,442
We don't know that he is coming back.
487
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,487
He is. I promise you that.
488
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,810
Are you God? Who are you to say?
489
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,367
Yes?
490
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,249
Mr. Tusk
and Mr. Danton are here.
491
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,726
Send them in.
492
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,087
It was arranged this morning.
We're discussing Russia.
493
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,050
Sir, I am the Chief of Staff. You have to
keep me informed of these things.
494
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,167
Excuse me,
495
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,170
but I believe you answer to me,
not the other way around.
496
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,964
Secretary Durant should be here.
497
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,248
This meeting is private.
I'll discuss it with you both after.
498
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,608
The president would never allow Raymond...
499
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,129
- Mr. President.
- Mr. Tusk.
500
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,006
Remy, good to see you.
501
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,771
- Mr. President.
- Mr. Stamper.
502
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,491
- I'll follow up with you later, Doug.
- Yes, sir.
503
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,841
Thanks for taking the time
to meet with us on such short notice.
504
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,765
Well, there's no time to waste
on this oil thing.
505
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,848
I've made some progress with the Chinese.
506
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,121
- Sir, the First Lady is in there right now.
- She's expecting me.
507
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,642
We're trying to win an election,
and you want to remind everyone
508
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,722
that the president pardoned Raymond Tusk?
509
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,003
- Let's find somewhere else.
- These are matters of state.
510
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,481
You don't have the authority to intervene.
511
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,881
If Donald wants my counsel,
that is his prerogative.
512
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,724
You are deliberately deceiving me.
513
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,650
- Going behind my...
- You have forgotten your place, Douglas.
514
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:56,963
My place? What about your place?
515
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,923
You leave him when he needs you most,
you threaten him,
516
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,281
and now that he's in here,
you undermine him.
517
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,567
- You're supposed to be...
- Stop. That is enough.
518
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,004
I will fill you in on everything, but not here.
At the White House.
519
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,769
- What's happening?
- His heart.
520
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,850
- Doctor?
- He's had some sporadic arrhythmia.
521
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,889
- Will you give us the room for a moment?
- Of course.
522
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:29,281
We can't keep battling each other,
not with him like this.
523
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,569
We need a new path forward,
and I would like your help with that.
524
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,445
I promise I won't keep you in the dark.
525
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,651
I'll meet you at the White House
whenever you're ready.
526
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:43,441
I'm staying here.
I think this is more important.
527
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:45,926
Okay.
528
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,205
Mrs. Underwood.
529
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,610
Mr. Tusk and Mr. Danton have a proposal
about how to deal with Russia.
530
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,610
I imagine I'm the last person
you expected to see today.
531
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,283
I am a bit surprised,
yes, to see both of you.
532
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,484
I'm sure there's some wariness
about us being here,
533
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,444
but I think we have a good plan
on how to handle Russia.
534
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,928
Would you like to join us?
Raymond can lay it out for you.
535
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,083
Well, I don't know what I can offer.
536
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,569
Well, we're going to catch some flack
537
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,291
if word gets out that I'm back in business
with the White House.
538
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,249
You could help us smooth that over.
539
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,566
Your press conference was very moving.
540
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,810
- I'm sorry about Frank.
- Thank you.
541
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,482
Of course, he'd have a conniption fit
if he knew I were in the Oval Office.
542
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,801
Well, he is a pragmatist, Raymond.
Whatever works.
543
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,528
- Shall we continue?
- Remy.
544
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,641
So, the plan
is to propose a partnership
545
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,491
between American and Chinese
energy companies.
546
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,845
- You seem nervous.
- It's been a while.
547
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,243
Going down.
548
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,688
What should I do, boss?
549
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,890
Dr. Saxon.
550
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,090
- I'd like to donate.
- Mr. Stamper...
551
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,966
My blood type is O. I'm healthy.
Let's do the tests.
552
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,084
That's not the only criteria for donation.
553
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,123
You're a recovering alcoholic.
We don't accept...
554
00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:42,244
I don't care about the rules.
If I'm a match, I want you to do it.
555
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,488
Even if you were, it wouldn't matter.
556
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,242
He's too ill for a partial
liver at this point.
557
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,970
He needs a full one.
558
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,645
I'm sorry,
but we'll just have to wait and hope.
559
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:05,000
