00:01:42,458 --> 00:01:46,379
[Madam Secretary] Kentucky,
you have 53 votes.

4
00:01:46,462 --> 00:01:47,880
How do you cast them?

5
00:01:47,963 --> 00:01:49,715
Madam Secretary,

6
00:01:49,798 --> 00:01:52,343
as a senator for the great
Commonwealth of Kentucky,

7
00:01:52,426 --> 00:01:55,638
I'm proud to speak
on behalf of the delegation's chair.

8
00:01:55,721 --> 00:01:57,515
The Commonwealth of Kentucky,

9
00:01:57,598 --> 00:01:59,517
home of the Derby,
the Wildcats,

10
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,895
and the birthplace of bourbon,
for Vice President of the United States,

11
00:02:02,978 --> 00:02:06,565
<i>casts 13 votes
for Secretary of State Catherine Durant...</i>

12
00:02:07,233 --> 00:02:09,860
<i>11 for Senator Joseph Baker of Nevada,</i>

13
00:02:09,943 --> 00:02:12,280
nine for Governor Randall Smith
of West Virginia,

14
00:02:12,363 --> 00:02:14,907
seven apiece for
Governor Jill Haley of Florida

15
00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:17,618
and Congresswoman Sharon Pierce
of California,

16
00:02:17,701 --> 00:02:22,498
five for one of our own,
the Mayor of Louisville, Jill Carson...

17
00:02:23,123 --> 00:02:26,877
and one vote for
the First Lady of these United States,

18
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,547
Mrs. Claire Underwood.

19

[crowd cheering]

20
00:02:31,173 --> 00:02:35,177
[Madam Secretary] Louisiana,
you have 61 votes.

21
00:02:35,261 --> 00:02:37,095
How do you cast them?

22
00:02:37,179 --> 00:02:39,890
Isn't this exciting?
You can feel the electricity.

23
00:02:39,973 --> 00:02:42,560
Been a very long time
since an open convention.

24
00:02:42,643 --> 00:02:44,478
I'm surprised you didn't get
a few votes yourself, Senator.

25
00:02:44,562 --> 00:02:46,939
[chuckles] <i>I'm not running</i>
<i>for vice president.</i>

26
00:02:47,022 --> 00:02:48,857
[reporter] <i>Neither is Claire Underwood</i>
<i>and she got one.</i>

27
00:02:48,941 --> 00:02:49,983
<i>That was my vote.</i>

28
00:02:50,067 --> 00:02:51,985
Trying to throw some levity
into the proceedings, sir?

29
00:02:52,069 --> 00:02:55,113
Hell, no! I think she'd make
a terrific vice president.

30
00:03:05,541 --> 00:03:07,376
[crowd cheering]

31
00:03:08,293 --> 00:03:11,129
[woman 1] Mrs. Underwood!
[woman 2] Mrs. Underwood!

32
00:03:11,213 --> 00:03:14,091
[reporter] A couple of questions,
Mrs. Underwood, if you have a moment?

33
00:03:14,174 --> 00:03:15,175
[Claire] Yes, I only have time for a few.

34
00:03:15,258 --> 00:03:16,719
[reporter] Welcome to Atlanta,
Mrs. Underwood.

35
00:03:16,802 --> 00:03:17,928
[Claire] Thank you.

36
00:03:18,011 --> 00:03:19,347
Can you comment
on Senator Sheer's vote?

37
00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:22,307
[chuckles] Well, I am flattered.
But it's all in good fun, I'm sure.

38
00:03:22,391 --> 00:03:24,685
Mrs. Underwood,
he says he'll vote for you again.

39
00:03:24,768 --> 00:03:27,855
Well, I am encouraging everyone,
including Senator Sheer,

40
00:03:27,938 --> 00:03:29,982
to vote for Cathy Durant.

41
00:03:30,065 --> 00:03:32,705
Both the president and I think
she is the best choice in the field.

42
00:03:33,235 --> 00:03:34,862
You changed everything we wrote.

43
00:03:35,821 --> 00:03:37,461
There was no imagination to it.
No rhythm.

44
00:03:37,531 --> 00:03:39,658
We've been writing their speeches
since they took office.

45
00:03:39,742 --> 00:03:41,577
We know what we're doing.

46
00:03:41,660 --> 00:03:45,205
Well, do you want it to be good,
or do you want it to be yours?

47
00:03:45,288 --> 00:03:46,582
[Claire] The vote I'm most excited about

48
00:03:46,665 --> 00:03:50,878
is the victory our background check
legislation got in the House yesterday.

49
00:03:50,961 --> 00:03:53,672
So I'm hoping that the Senate
will follow their lead soon,

50
00:03:53,756 --> 00:03:56,133
and that the president
can sign it into law.

51
00:03:56,216 --> 00:03:58,051
I have to go.
Thank you so much.

52
00:03:59,803 --> 00:04:02,390
Thank you... for inviting us.

53
00:04:02,473 --> 00:04:03,474
No.

54
00:04:04,433 --> 00:04:07,520
It's me who has to thank you and your son.

55
00:04:07,603 --> 00:04:08,729
He saved my life.

56
00:04:09,522 --> 00:04:12,107
No matter how tragic
the circumstances.

57
00:04:12,190 --> 00:04:13,776
[breath shuddering]

58
00:04:13,859 --> 00:04:17,154
I want you to meet
some of the other recipients.

59
00:04:17,237 --> 00:04:20,908
This is James...
who received one of your son's kidneys.

60
00:04:20,991 --> 00:04:22,034
Oh.

61
00:04:23,494 --> 00:04:25,788
And this is Luisa...

62
00:04:25,871 --> 00:04:28,123
who received your son's heart.

63
00:04:35,297 --> 00:04:39,134
Luisa was at the top of the list.
She was hours away from dying.

64
00:04:40,594 --> 00:04:42,888
Uh, if we could,
let's all get together for a photo.

65
00:04:42,971 --> 00:04:44,932
James? Right here.

66
00:04:45,015 --> 00:04:47,142
- You come right here.
- Okay.

67
00:04:47,768 --> 00:04:49,978
[Seth] This way.
Great.

68
00:04:50,896 --> 00:04:52,440
[shutter clicking]

69
00:04:52,523 --> 00:04:54,817
<i>The president isn't shying away
from, uh, his transplant.</i>

70
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:55,943
<i>Well, I think it's a smart move.</i>

71
00:04:56,026 --> 00:04:58,278
<i>You can't deny it,
so why try to hide it?</i>

72
00:04:58,361 --> 00:05:00,823
<i>Plus, I think it underscores
the importance</i>

73
00:05:00,906 --> 00:05:02,115
<i>of the vice presidential situation.</i>

74
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:04,785
<i>Wait, rolling out the donor's mom?
That feels a bit exploitative.</i>

75
00:05:04,868 --> 00:05:06,620
[stutters] <i>I... Look, hold on.</i>

76
00:05:06,704 --> 00:05:08,205
<i>A little bit of compassion,
the kid just shot himself.</i>

77
00:05:08,288 --> 00:05:10,666
<i>And with a handgun, no less.</i>

78
00:05:10,749 --> 00:05:12,626
[woman] <i>Legally purchased.</i>
<i>Let's not put this on the gun.</i>

79
00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:16,046
<i>Look, I am sorry, all of this, the whole
thing, the convention... It's theatrics.</i>

80
00:05:16,129 --> 00:05:17,631
[man 1] <i>Hey, look, I...</i>
<i>Bring on the circus.</i>

81
00:05:17,715 --> 00:05:19,715
<i>It's a lot more fun
than some four-day infomercial.</i>

82
00:05:19,758 --> 00:05:21,677
[man 2] <i>Let's talk about</i>
<i>the contenders themselves.</i>

83
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,512
<i>There's almost a dozen of 'em.</i>

84
00:05:23,596 --> 00:05:25,806
- Can you, uh, lower that, please?
- [man 3] <i>...really have a chance.</i>

85
00:05:25,889 --> 00:05:28,016
<i>Durant, first among 'em.</i>

86
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:30,268
It's 11:00 in the morning, day one,
and they're beating <i>Ellen.</i>

87
00:05:30,352 --> 00:05:32,354
Less traffic on the website, too.

88
00:05:32,437 --> 00:05:34,106
People aren't watching
the videos as much.

89
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:37,359
This sold over a million copies.

90
00:05:37,442 --> 00:05:38,882
Five times that many read it online.

91
00:05:38,944 --> 00:05:40,984
Yeah, well, that was last month.
This is this month.

92
00:05:41,822 --> 00:05:43,699
We announce a stellar running mate.

93
00:05:44,617 --> 00:05:46,368
He eviscerates Underwood on ICO.

94
00:05:46,451 --> 00:05:50,372
We have not one, but two <i>Vanity Fair</i>
covers that Pollyhop's pushing,

95
00:05:50,455 --> 00:05:52,625
and all you give me is excuses.

96
00:05:53,375 --> 00:05:55,503
The point was for us
to drown out their convention,

97
00:05:55,586 --> 00:05:58,839
not the other way around.
We need to steal the thunder back.

98
00:05:58,922 --> 00:06:00,633
So go where the thunder is.

99
00:06:03,927 --> 00:06:07,264
[Blythe] I've been one heartbeat away
for almost two years.

100
00:06:07,347 --> 00:06:09,975
My heart's not in it anymore.

101
00:06:10,058 --> 00:06:13,521
I'm going to head back
to Vermont after November.

102
00:06:13,604 --> 00:06:15,105
Maybe start teaching again.

103
00:06:16,064 --> 00:06:17,816
Who are you supporting, then?

104
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:19,777
On the record, Cathy Durant.

105
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:21,361
And off the record?

106
00:06:24,489 --> 00:06:26,116
I'm not the biggest fan.

107
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:27,993
Why?

108
00:06:28,076 --> 00:06:30,788
She wasn't much help
during the Russia crisis.

109
00:06:30,871 --> 00:06:34,833
- She closed the deal with Petrov.
- She took credit for it, sure.

110
00:06:34,917 --> 00:06:37,169
But she fought the deal
every step of the way.

111
00:06:38,170 --> 00:06:40,589
Nothing would've happened
if it weren't for Claire.

112
00:06:40,673 --> 00:06:42,215
The First Lady?

113
00:06:43,175 --> 00:06:45,010
The former ambassador.

114
00:06:45,594 --> 00:06:48,305
[Catherine] We're closer in Kansas,
but still not close enough.

115
00:06:48,388 --> 00:06:51,224
Did you speak to Jefferies
when you were there for the House vote?

116
00:06:51,308 --> 00:06:52,935
He's leaning on Fred Simms.

117
00:06:53,018 --> 00:06:55,103
If Simms could deliver
two or three delegates...

118
00:06:55,187 --> 00:06:56,188
That could push Kansas over the edge.

119
00:06:56,271 --> 00:06:57,397
[Doug] I can call Womack.

120
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,691
He's got some friends
over the border.

121
00:06:58,774 --> 00:07:00,776
- What about Pawley?
- Pawley?

122
00:07:00,859 --> 00:07:03,028
Sheriff Pawley in Fort Worth,
old family friend of my dad's.

123
00:07:03,111 --> 00:07:05,447
He's close with some superdelegates
from Dallas.

124
00:07:05,531 --> 00:07:06,611
[LeAnn] Yes, he's on board.

125
00:07:06,657 --> 00:07:07,700
[Catherine] Gotta love those sheriffs.

126
00:07:07,783 --> 00:07:09,952
- That's how we do in Louisiana.
- What about Enright?

127
00:07:10,035 --> 00:07:11,662
I'm meeting him for coffee
at the Hyatt.

128
00:07:11,745 --> 00:07:13,496
In fact, I better get going.
I don't wanna be late.

129
00:07:13,581 --> 00:07:15,415
Now, if we could lock up Virginia...

130
00:07:15,498 --> 00:07:16,792
- It would send a very big message.
- [phone ringing]

131
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:18,711
[Catherine] And then Kentucky next.

132
00:07:18,794 --> 00:07:20,671
He's got a big old crush on you.

133
00:07:20,754 --> 00:07:22,380
We better get you on a move.

134
00:07:22,464 --> 00:07:25,008
Enright is a stickler for punctuality.

135
00:07:25,092 --> 00:07:28,011
You know, I'm having fun.
I forgot how much I miss being whip.

136
00:07:28,095 --> 00:07:30,430
You whip 'em.
I'll sweet talk 'em.

137
00:07:30,513 --> 00:07:31,932
Nothing like leather
and sugar. [chuckles]

138
00:07:32,015 --> 00:07:33,308
[laughs]

139
00:07:33,391 --> 00:07:34,476
[Doug] Sir?

140
00:07:35,518 --> 00:07:36,770
Senator Sheer.

141
00:07:36,854 --> 00:07:39,481
Senator, you did a fine job.

142
00:07:39,565 --> 00:07:42,860
Yeah, I better get prime time,
not one of these midmorning speeches.

143
00:07:42,943 --> 00:07:46,614
Eight o'clock, Wednesday night.
I called Patti myself.

144
00:07:47,573 --> 00:07:51,744
Do you know the main thing that separates
a politician from the rest of the species?

145
00:07:51,827 --> 00:07:54,454
A politician is the one
who would drown a litter of kittens

146
00:07:54,537 --> 00:07:56,999
for ten minutes of prime time.

147
00:07:57,708 --> 00:08:00,543
Secretary Durant.
Editor in chief, <i>Politico.</i>

148
00:08:00,628 --> 00:08:02,045
It's all right.

149
00:08:02,129 --> 00:08:04,464
Adam, are you covering this yourself?

150
00:08:04,547 --> 00:08:06,466
- First open one since '68.
- [chuckles]

151
00:08:06,549 --> 00:08:08,802
It's humid as hell, though.
I just got here and I'm already soaked.

152
00:08:08,886 --> 00:08:10,053
[chuckles] On the plus side,

153
00:08:10,137 --> 00:08:12,430
I hear they have
the best strip clubs in the country.

154
00:08:12,514 --> 00:08:14,307
- [both chuckle]
- Can I ask you a couple questions?

155
00:08:14,391 --> 00:08:16,602
- Well, I'm in a hurry.
- Just a couple.

156
00:08:16,685 --> 00:08:17,770
Nothing on the record.

157
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,981
Tell me about the rumors

158
00:08:21,064 --> 00:08:23,304
regarding the deal you struck
with Petrov in Brandenburg.

159
00:08:23,358 --> 00:08:24,693
What rumors?

160
00:08:24,777 --> 00:08:27,320
That it was the First Lady
who brokered the deal, not you.

161
00:08:28,614 --> 00:08:30,991
It was a team effort.
Who is your source?

162
00:08:31,074 --> 00:08:33,035
I can't.
You know that.

163
00:08:33,118 --> 00:08:34,918
Well, I'm afraid
that's all the time I've got.

164
00:08:34,995 --> 00:08:36,038
Have a good trip, Adam.

165
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:43,295
[reporter] <i>The president was on site</i>
<i>this morning for a press briefing</i>

166
00:08:43,378 --> 00:08:46,048
<i>at the Truxton Marquis
with Karen Williams,</i>

167
00:08:46,131 --> 00:08:48,133
<i>the mother of Daniel Williams,</i>

168
00:08:48,216 --> 00:08:50,010
<i>the organ donor
who provided his liver.</i>

169
00:08:50,093 --> 00:08:53,722
<i>Alongside him were all
of the donor organs' recipients.</i>

170
00:08:53,806 --> 00:08:56,558
<i>Ms. Williams took time
to speak with each recipient</i>

171
00:08:56,642 --> 00:08:59,311
<i>whose life was saved
in the wake of her son's passing.</i>

172
00:08:59,394 --> 00:09:01,021
<i>The president used this solemn event</i>

173
00:09:01,104 --> 00:09:04,107
<i>to express his gratitude
for those who share their lives</i>

174
00:09:04,191 --> 00:09:05,483
<i>for the health and welfare of others,</i>

175
00:09:05,567 --> 00:09:08,987
<i>whether through organ donation
or through their work.</i>

176
00:09:09,071 --> 00:09:11,323
<i>The president's condition
has improved dramatically</i>

177
00:09:11,406 --> 00:09:12,991
<i>since his organ donation.</i>

178
00:09:13,075 --> 00:09:16,829
<i>The entire country was on edge
throughout his time in the hospital.</i>

179
00:09:16,912 --> 00:09:18,205
<i>Sixteen-year-old Daniel,</i>

180
00:09:18,288 --> 00:09:20,457
<i>who saved President Underwood
from his health crisis,</i>

181
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:23,919
<i>left this world by giving back
to so many others</i>

182
00:09:24,002 --> 00:09:26,171
<i>he never expected to touch.</i>

183
00:09:26,254 --> 00:09:29,675
<i>Lasting tributes like this
will not be forgotten.</i>

184
00:09:29,758 --> 00:09:34,637
<i>Currently, there are more
than 122,000 men, women and children</i>

185
00:09:34,722 --> 00:09:36,890
<i>seeking an organ transplant each year,</i>

186
00:09:36,974 --> 00:09:40,894
<i>most common needs being
the kidney, liver, and heart.</i>

187
00:09:40,978 --> 00:09:44,397
<i>And while the number of donors
has increased over the years,</i>

188
00:09:44,481 --> 00:09:48,568
<i>recipients are still in for a long,
potentially fatal waiting period</i>

189
00:09:48,651 --> 00:09:51,739
<i>before a healthy, matching organ
becomes available.</i>

190
00:09:51,822 --> 00:09:54,992
<i>Waiting lists for these types
of transplants</i>

191
00:09:55,075 --> 00:09:57,244
<i>can last from days
to months on end.</i>

192
00:09:57,327 --> 00:09:59,579
<i>Although President Underwood's
critical condition</i>

193
00:09:59,662 --> 00:10:01,623
<i>pushed him to the top of the donor list,</i>

194
00:10:01,707 --> 00:10:04,835
<i>he was fortunate to have received
a donation in time.</i>

195
00:10:04,918 --> 00:10:08,046
<i>Many status one,
or most in-need patients</i>

196
00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:11,341
<i>do not receive a transplant
in time to save their lives.</i>

197
00:10:11,424 --> 00:10:13,051
[continues talking indistinctly]

198
00:10:13,761 --> 00:10:16,889
[Madam Secretary] Tennessee!
You have 77 votes.

199
00:10:16,972 --> 00:10:18,473
How do you cast them?

200
00:10:18,556 --> 00:10:20,308
[woman] From the Volunteer State...

201
00:10:20,392 --> 00:10:22,394
[man on phone] <i>The president will be</i>
<i>with you in a moment.</i>

202
00:10:22,477 --> 00:10:26,273
<i>...we cast 73 votes for vice president
to Secretary Catherine Durant,</i>

203
00:10:26,356 --> 00:10:29,234
<i>and four votes
to Senator Joseph Baker.</i>

204
00:10:29,317 --> 00:10:32,112
- [Frank on phone] <i>Cathy!</i>
- The meeting with Enright went well.

205
00:10:32,195 --> 00:10:35,657
I put a call into him afterwards.
He said you charmed him.

206
00:10:35,741 --> 00:10:37,785
- That puts us where?
- Nine-forty-nine.

207
00:10:37,868 --> 00:10:40,578
We won't make this ballot,
but we're getting close.

208
00:10:40,662 --> 00:10:42,330
Next one.
I'm sure of it.

209
00:10:42,414 --> 00:10:44,014
Let's talk once
we get the final numbers.

210
00:10:44,041 --> 00:10:45,667
Will do. Bye.

211
00:10:45,751 --> 00:10:48,796
<i>- Texas, you have 237 votes.</i>
- Do you have my call list for tonight?

212
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:50,422
<i>How do you cast them?</i>

213
00:10:50,505 --> 00:10:52,632
<i>Madam Secretary,
my name is Ruiz Trejo.</i>

214
00:10:52,715 --> 00:10:56,011
[Catherine] I see.
Uh, I ran into Giovanni in the elevator.

215
00:10:56,094 --> 00:10:57,720
You can cross him off.

216
00:10:58,847 --> 00:10:59,973
And cross off Milford.

217
00:11:00,057 --> 00:11:02,684
She said she's gonna
back Baker till the bitter end.

218
00:11:02,768 --> 00:11:05,938
<i>We cast all of our votes
to our native daughter,</i>

219
00:11:06,021 --> 00:11:07,022
<i>the First Lady,</i>

220
00:11:07,105 --> 00:11:10,067
<i>and the future Vice President
of the United States of America,</i>

221
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:12,194
<i>- Claire Underwood.</i>
- [crowd cheering]

222
00:11:12,277 --> 00:11:13,695
[Madam Secretary] <i>Thank you, Texas.</i>
<i>And thank...</i>

223
00:11:13,778 --> 00:11:15,072
[dialing]

224
00:11:17,032 --> 00:11:18,450
[line ringing]

225
00:11:20,535 --> 00:11:23,121
[LeAnn] All 237? Nice.

226
00:11:23,205 --> 00:11:25,916
[Celia] My mother brought
the hammer down on the holdouts.

227
00:11:25,999 --> 00:11:29,211
[chuckles] I just emailed you
my donor lists for Austin and Houston.

228
00:11:29,294 --> 00:11:31,088
Should be at least
two million in the bank.

229
00:11:31,171 --> 00:11:32,255
- Ms. Jones.
- Oh, that's great.

230
00:11:32,339 --> 00:11:34,219
[stutters] Oh, I gotta go.
The cameras are here.

231
00:11:34,883 --> 00:11:38,053
Ms. Jones, the entire state
for the First Lady. Will you comment?

232
00:11:38,136 --> 00:11:40,931
I think our unanimous vote
is all the commentary you need.

233
00:11:41,014 --> 00:11:43,266
Now, the president endorsed your race, uh,

234
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:45,268
your mother's vacant seat,
uh, during the State of the Union.

235
00:11:45,352 --> 00:11:47,980
He sure did,
and I'm proud to be the front-runner.

236
00:11:48,063 --> 00:11:49,564
Did that endorsement
have anything to do

237
00:11:49,647 --> 00:11:51,691
with your support
of the First Lady?

238
00:11:51,774 --> 00:11:54,736
[Celia] <i>Look, I won't deny that</i>
<i>the Underwoods have been good to me.</i>

239
00:11:54,819 --> 00:11:57,072
<i>But no. They asked me
to vote for Catherine Durant.</i>

240
00:11:57,155 --> 00:12:00,492
<i>And while I think Secretary Durant
would be a wonderful woman for the job,</i>

241
00:12:00,575 --> 00:12:04,037
<i>I think Claire is the best woman
for the job.</i>

242
00:12:06,957 --> 00:12:10,252
Well, I really appreciate it, Diane,
and I know Cathy will as well.

243
00:12:11,253 --> 00:12:13,380
All right, we'll speak soon.

244
00:12:14,672 --> 00:12:15,798
New draft.

245
00:12:17,675 --> 00:12:20,387
LeAnn wanted me
to work in some phrases...

246
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:22,430
and keyword amplifiers.

247
00:12:22,514 --> 00:12:25,142
[Frank talking on phone] All I'm asking
is that you make the call.

248
00:12:25,225 --> 00:12:26,894
He'll listen if it comes from you.

249
00:12:26,977 --> 00:12:27,978
It seems very clunky.

250
00:12:28,061 --> 00:12:29,312
I agree.

251
00:12:30,522 --> 00:12:32,607
Is there a way to...

252
00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:34,151
put in what she wants and make it...

253
00:12:34,234 --> 00:12:35,318
- more elegant?
- [Frank] He's still pissed

254
00:12:35,402 --> 00:12:37,737
about that limp-dick defense bill
I killed when I was whip...

255
00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:41,074
Maybe...
but I have my limitations.

256
00:12:42,034 --> 00:12:44,452
Well, you don't have much faith
in her analytics, I don't think.

257
00:12:44,536 --> 00:12:45,954
It's paint by numbers.

258
00:12:46,038 --> 00:12:47,164
Yes, well, she also says

259
00:12:47,247 --> 00:12:50,292
that you've been alienating
some of the other speechwriters.

260
00:12:50,375 --> 00:12:53,211
Eh, well, their mediocrity
is what's alienating them.

261
00:12:53,295 --> 00:12:55,172
I'm allergic to it.

262
00:12:56,381 --> 00:12:58,008
- I work better alone.
- [Frank] Let me speak to Bryce

263
00:12:58,091 --> 00:13:00,010
and then see what I can do.

264
00:13:00,093 --> 00:13:02,637
That's right.
WestCAM should do it.

265
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,723
- Uh-huh. Well, tonight if you can.
- [cell phone chiming]

266
00:13:05,807 --> 00:13:07,267
The morning is fine if you can't...

267
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:10,270
I have to go.
Let's discuss the speech later.

268
00:13:10,353 --> 00:13:11,479
Hmm.

269
00:13:11,563 --> 00:13:15,733
Yeah, all I need is just three more
from your state and we've got it.

270
00:13:15,817 --> 00:13:17,652
Yes, just a... just a few more.

271
00:13:17,735 --> 00:13:18,946
Like, three.

272
00:13:19,029 --> 00:13:22,240
Yes, and so do I.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.

273
00:13:22,324 --> 00:13:23,408
Good night.

274
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,536
- Tom.
- Hmm.

275
00:13:27,454 --> 00:13:29,414
I feel like we haven't even
had a chance to say hello

276
00:13:29,497 --> 00:13:30,999
since you came on board.

277
00:13:31,083 --> 00:13:32,084
You're a busy man.

278
00:13:32,167 --> 00:13:34,086
I don't know the opposite.

279
00:13:34,169 --> 00:13:36,629
It has its upsides.
Like sleep.

280
00:13:37,547 --> 00:13:39,174
- And friends.
- [chuckles]

281
00:13:40,133 --> 00:13:41,218
How's the, uh...

282
00:13:42,135 --> 00:13:43,178
Oh...

283
00:13:44,387 --> 00:13:45,888
You know,
if it weren't for the pills,

284
00:13:45,973 --> 00:13:49,059
I could go through entire days
without even thinking about it.

285
00:13:50,060 --> 00:13:51,979
I wonder what that kid would think...

286
00:13:52,062 --> 00:13:55,065
if he knew that part of him
was inside of the president's body.

287
00:13:55,983 --> 00:13:57,484
Tragic, huh?

288
00:13:57,567 --> 00:13:59,194
But, then again,

289
00:13:59,277 --> 00:14:02,197
one man's tragedy
is another man's treasure,

290
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,032
- isn't that right?
- Trash.

291
00:14:04,116 --> 00:14:05,367
What?

292
00:14:05,450 --> 00:14:08,078
"One man's trash."
That's how the saying goes.

293
00:14:08,161 --> 00:14:09,704
Oh, right.

294
00:14:09,787 --> 00:14:11,748
How's the speech coming?

295
00:14:13,083 --> 00:14:14,376
Uh...

296
00:14:14,459 --> 00:14:17,337
Well, this is for the introduction
to your acceptance speech, but...

297
00:14:18,463 --> 00:14:20,048
shouldn't it be
for her own acceptance?

298
00:14:21,967 --> 00:14:24,511
You want Claire to win,
not Durant.

299
00:14:24,594 --> 00:14:27,305
A First Lady as the... [chuckles]
That's ludicrous.

300
00:14:28,848 --> 00:14:30,142
I don't think so.

301
00:14:30,225 --> 00:14:31,851
And I don't think you do either.

302
00:14:31,934 --> 00:14:33,061
Oh...

303
00:14:34,312 --> 00:14:35,355
Maybe I'm wrong.

304
00:14:37,690 --> 00:14:39,401
But if I'm right...

305
00:14:41,861 --> 00:14:45,782
she's gonna need the speech
to end all speeches.

306
00:14:45,865 --> 00:14:47,465
And it would be good
for me to know that.

307
00:14:48,618 --> 00:14:49,869
[cell phone chiming]

308
00:14:49,952 --> 00:14:51,871
I have some more work to do.

309
00:14:54,666 --> 00:14:57,460
Governor! [chuckles]
How are you?

310
00:14:57,544 --> 00:14:59,462
Yeah, well,
I wish I was in Oregon, too,

311
00:14:59,546 --> 00:15:00,630
but I'm here in Atlanta

312
00:15:00,713 --> 00:15:03,050
where it's muggier
than a street hooker's twat.

313
00:15:04,259 --> 00:15:08,263
[Claire] <i>I am honored to be mentioned</i>
<i>with Secretary Durant and Senator Baker.</i>

314
00:15:08,346 --> 00:15:10,265
<i>They're seasoned politicians.</i>

315
00:15:10,348 --> 00:15:11,516
<i>But I already have a job,</i>

316
00:15:11,599 --> 00:15:13,560
First Lady of the United States.

317
00:15:13,643 --> 00:15:15,978
- [all laughing]
- Well, Texas is over 5% of the vote.

318
00:15:16,063 --> 00:15:19,357
And my home state,
so let's not make more of it than it is.

319
00:15:19,441 --> 00:15:20,525
[Catherine] Claire!

320
00:15:21,109 --> 00:15:23,653
Congratulations.
I think you're in fifth place now.

321
00:15:23,736 --> 00:15:25,322
Yeah, with you in first,
where you should be.

322
00:15:25,405 --> 00:15:26,823
[chuckles]

323
00:15:26,906 --> 00:15:30,077
[Gould] Secretary Durant,
do you think the First Lady has a shot?

324
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,080
- I think Texas just gave her one.
- [all laughing]

325
00:15:33,163 --> 00:15:35,790
Kidding aside, do you think
she has the foreign policy experience?

326
00:15:35,873 --> 00:15:38,085
It's beside the point.
And like I said this morning,

327
00:15:38,168 --> 00:15:40,712
I encourage everyone, including Texas,

328
00:15:40,795 --> 00:15:42,255
to vote for Secretary Durant.

329
00:15:42,339 --> 00:15:43,340
- [Catherine chuckles]
- Mrs. Underwood...

330
00:15:43,423 --> 00:15:45,675
You know what, if you'll excuse me,
I want to get back to the phones,

331
00:15:45,758 --> 00:15:46,843
make sure Cathy gets this nomination.

332
00:15:46,926 --> 00:15:48,511
- Thank you.
- May I have a moment?

333
00:15:48,595 --> 00:15:50,055
Oh, of course.

334
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:54,601
[speaking indistinctly]

335
00:15:54,684 --> 00:15:57,354
Did anyone ask you
about Brandenburg

336
00:15:57,437 --> 00:15:59,772
or any of your people
and your involvement there?

337
00:15:59,856 --> 00:16:00,982
- Brandenburg?
- Hmm.

338
00:16:01,066 --> 00:16:02,109
No, we put that to bed.

339
00:16:02,192 --> 00:16:03,443
That's what I thought,

340
00:16:03,526 --> 00:16:05,820
which is why I was surprised
when Adam Gould told me

341
00:16:05,903 --> 00:16:08,240
that he had sources saying
you deserved all the credit.

342
00:16:08,323 --> 00:16:11,033
We all agreed to what
our version of the story is,

343
00:16:11,118 --> 00:16:13,536
so somebody isn't toeing the line.

344
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:16,289
Well, I'm sure it's not White House staff.

345
00:16:16,373 --> 00:16:18,791
I bet he's just fishing,
trying to start some rivalry.

346
00:16:18,875 --> 00:16:21,753
Well, I'd be grateful,
if he asks you, or anyone else...

347
00:16:21,836 --> 00:16:24,756
Of course.
And I've been sticking to our story...

348
00:16:24,839 --> 00:16:27,425
which it was you that got
the Russians to back down,

349
00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:28,949
and I was just there to support you.

350
00:16:29,010 --> 00:16:30,637
That wouldn't look good
to the delegates,

351
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,141
the fact that you met
with Petrov without me.

352
00:16:34,224 --> 00:16:35,808
It would look like
I wasn't in command of...

353
00:16:35,892 --> 00:16:38,645
No one needs to know
what we discussed.

354
00:16:38,728 --> 00:16:40,897
You have nothing to worry about, Cathy.
Honestly.

355
00:16:43,191 --> 00:16:44,734
[Frank] Well, yeah.
I can get you on the phone

356
00:16:44,817 --> 00:16:48,196
with the Secretary of Agriculture,
but if you want drought relief,

357
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,615
I'm gonna need more than
just Stevens and Lopez.

358
00:16:50,698 --> 00:16:52,298
Has anything been set up with Baker yet?

359
00:16:52,325 --> 00:16:53,618
Tomorrow morning, in his room.

360
00:16:53,701 --> 00:16:55,036
Well, that's cutting it close.

361
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,580
He's at a big dinner with the Florida
congressional delegation tonight.

362
00:16:57,664 --> 00:16:59,374
Well, all right, and call me back.

363
00:16:59,457 --> 00:17:00,917
The rumors have gotten to Cathy.

364
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,962
Well, we did want them to spread.
That was the idea.

365
00:17:05,046 --> 00:17:06,726
I think one of us needs to speak with her.

366
00:17:06,798 --> 00:17:08,675
Yeah, but the plan was
to wait till it was inevitable.

367
00:17:08,758 --> 00:17:11,638
If we don't involve her sooner than later,
Francis, she could turn on us.

368
00:17:11,719 --> 00:17:14,139
All right, you take
your meeting with Baker.

369
00:17:14,222 --> 00:17:16,182
- I'll talk to Cathy. You set that up.
- Yes, sir.

370
00:17:17,809 --> 00:17:19,018
How much are you going to say?

371
00:17:19,852 --> 00:17:22,021
Just enough to prepare her.

372
00:17:24,357 --> 00:17:25,567
[Seth] Yeah...

373
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,155
[Seth] A lot of calls about
Mrs. Underwood in Russia.

374
00:17:30,238 --> 00:17:31,239
Denying?

375
00:17:31,323 --> 00:17:33,450
Ignoring, which is the same as confirming.

376
00:17:33,533 --> 00:17:35,535
- Good.
- Claire in there?

377
00:17:35,618 --> 00:17:37,338
She's speaking privately
with the president.

378
00:17:37,370 --> 00:17:39,121
Oh, I'm sure she won't mind.

379
00:17:42,167 --> 00:17:43,626
[door closes]

380
00:17:48,756 --> 00:17:49,799
Where are we with LeAnn?

381
00:17:50,508 --> 00:17:52,219
- She's clean.
- No.

382
00:17:52,969 --> 00:17:54,221
I refuse to believe that.

383
00:17:54,304 --> 00:17:58,516
Doug, if our campaign manager
bites the dust, that hurts us.

384
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,352
I gave you a task.

385
00:18:03,188 --> 00:18:04,481
And I'll keep at it.

386
00:18:07,192 --> 00:18:09,236
Nice coverage on the liver thing
this morning.

387
00:18:09,986 --> 00:18:11,363
I emailed you some links.

388
00:18:15,658 --> 00:18:18,578
Boys are older now,
both married.

389
00:18:18,661 --> 00:18:20,913
Got a third grandkid on the way.

390
00:18:21,664 --> 00:18:24,083
We don't get out
to the lake much these days.

391
00:18:24,166 --> 00:18:25,918
Washington takes its toll.

392
00:18:26,002 --> 00:18:27,337
It sure does.

393
00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:30,131
I've made a lot of sacrifices
over the years, Mrs. Underwood.

394
00:18:30,215 --> 00:18:32,049
Time with my boys,
that's a big one.

395
00:18:32,133 --> 00:18:35,595
Who knows if I'll win,
but I'm in the mix.

396
00:18:35,678 --> 00:18:39,599
And I can't sacrifice this opportunity
to pave the way for Cathy Durant.

397
00:18:39,682 --> 00:18:41,934
You won't win, Senator.
We both know that.

398
00:18:42,018 --> 00:18:43,645
But I can't help her.

399
00:18:43,728 --> 00:18:45,605
Now, I realize you two don't get along.

400
00:18:45,688 --> 00:18:46,689
She despises me.

401
00:18:46,773 --> 00:18:48,483
And I have to say,
the feeling is mutual.

402
00:18:48,566 --> 00:18:50,966
- Well, listen...
- The moment she became Secretary of State,

403
00:18:51,027 --> 00:18:54,531
she got the Republicans to remove me
from the Foreign Relations Committee.

404
00:18:54,614 --> 00:18:56,658
And Francis was very upset about that.

405
00:18:58,075 --> 00:18:59,744
But that was the past.

406
00:19:00,495 --> 00:19:02,163
Let's talk about the future.

407
00:19:02,247 --> 00:19:06,083
This support for Claire,
it's caught us both off guard.

408
00:19:06,167 --> 00:19:08,085
But you are my choice for vice president.

409
00:19:08,169 --> 00:19:09,462
Nothing has changed on that front.

410
00:19:09,546 --> 00:19:11,589
Well, my only concern are the rumors.

411
00:19:11,673 --> 00:19:13,049
They could damage my chances.

412
00:19:13,132 --> 00:19:15,718
Yes. And we'll do
what we can to combat those.

413
00:19:15,802 --> 00:19:18,002
That's what Claire said, too,
and it's much appreciated.

414
00:19:20,056 --> 00:19:23,643
But, if, and...
Oh, God, it's a big if.

415
00:19:23,726 --> 00:19:25,019
But what if...

416
00:19:25,102 --> 00:19:27,439
support for Claire picks up steam...

417
00:19:27,522 --> 00:19:29,402
Well, you don't actually
think that will happen?

418
00:19:29,482 --> 00:19:32,527
Oh, no.
I mean, a First Lady as VP?

419
00:19:32,610 --> 00:19:33,653
No.

420
00:19:33,736 --> 00:19:36,489
The party wants someone with experience,
and so does the country.

421
00:19:36,573 --> 00:19:37,949
Absolutely.

422
00:19:39,241 --> 00:19:41,536
But... it is an open convention,

423
00:19:41,619 --> 00:19:45,122
and so we have to operate with the belief
that anything could happen.

424
00:19:45,206 --> 00:19:47,625
I mean, the press
is certainly enjoying imagining it.

425
00:19:47,709 --> 00:19:49,711
Well, sure.
It makes for a good story.

426
00:19:49,794 --> 00:19:50,837
[chuckles]

427
00:19:51,754 --> 00:19:55,091
Yeah, and it's the kind of coverage
that we can't really control.

428
00:19:55,174 --> 00:19:56,217
You know, I mean,

429
00:19:56,301 --> 00:19:59,387
these things have a way
of taking on a life of their own.

430
00:19:59,471 --> 00:20:02,890
Like the Zoe Barnes story did about
my nomination for Secretary of State.

431
00:20:02,974 --> 00:20:04,351
Except that one we planted.

432
00:20:04,434 --> 00:20:06,728
- And this one you didn't.
- No, absolutely not!

433
00:20:06,811 --> 00:20:09,689
I mean, Claire was mortified
by those votes.

434
00:20:10,690 --> 00:20:15,027
What you're saying is if the coverage
influences enough people...

435
00:20:15,111 --> 00:20:17,364
Well, we have to be prepared for that.

436
00:20:17,447 --> 00:20:18,990
I mean...

437
00:20:19,073 --> 00:20:20,913
of course, politically,
it would be a disaster.

438
00:20:20,992 --> 00:20:22,452
Maybe, maybe not.

439
00:20:25,330 --> 00:20:26,539
[stutters] You don't think so?

440
00:20:26,623 --> 00:20:29,125
Well, personally,
I think Claire would do an excellent job.

441
00:20:31,461 --> 00:20:33,463
Well, I am very surprised
to hear you say that.

442
00:20:33,546 --> 00:20:34,666
You don't believe she would?

443
00:20:36,841 --> 00:20:39,469
Well, I've just
never really considered it.

444
00:20:41,137 --> 00:20:43,139
The First Lady?
As vice president?

445
00:20:43,222 --> 00:20:45,767
Well, 251 delegates
think it's a good idea.

446
00:20:45,850 --> 00:20:47,970
Well, most of those were from Texas,
which was a lark.

447
00:20:49,729 --> 00:20:50,730
Was it?

448
00:20:53,566 --> 00:20:55,402
I have as many delegates
as you do, Senator.

449
00:20:55,485 --> 00:20:58,154
- But if you start pushing yours my way...
- You double.

450
00:20:58,237 --> 00:20:59,447
And take the lead.

451
00:20:59,531 --> 00:21:02,033
- And then Cathy puts you over the top.
- That's the idea.

452
00:21:02,909 --> 00:21:03,910
So she's in on this?

453
00:21:03,993 --> 00:21:05,870
She will be.

454
00:21:07,329 --> 00:21:11,918
Well, let's say Claire does take the lead,
however unlikely that may be...

455
00:21:12,001 --> 00:21:14,128
- Very unlikely, I would say.
- Well, let's say she does.

456
00:21:14,211 --> 00:21:15,463
What do you propose?

457
00:21:16,423 --> 00:21:17,632
[sighs]

458
00:21:19,676 --> 00:21:21,177
I honestly don't know.

459
00:21:23,763 --> 00:21:24,972
Well...

460
00:21:25,932 --> 00:21:27,975
Well, you'd have to support her,
wouldn't you?

461
00:21:28,059 --> 00:21:29,644
You... you can't abandon
your own wife.

462
00:21:29,727 --> 00:21:32,188
Uh, true, but I can't abandon you either.

463
00:21:32,271 --> 00:21:34,911
Well, if she took the lead,
I suppose I'd have to support her, too.

464
00:21:34,982 --> 00:21:36,818
No, I would never ask you to do that.

465
00:21:36,901 --> 00:21:39,779
But you don't have to ask.
We're on the same team here.

466
00:21:40,780 --> 00:21:42,239
Well, to be perfectly blunt...

467
00:21:42,323 --> 00:21:44,033
what's in it for me?

468
00:21:44,116 --> 00:21:45,284
What would it take?

469
00:21:45,367 --> 00:21:47,412
You're doing the selling.
Make me an offer.

470
00:21:48,621 --> 00:21:49,622
Let's say Claire gets it.

471
00:21:49,706 --> 00:21:51,791
I assume I stay on,
if you get the general.

472
00:21:51,874 --> 00:21:52,875
Oh, absolutely.

473
00:21:52,959 --> 00:21:56,212
I cannot imagine the next four years
without you being my Secretary of...

474
00:21:56,295 --> 00:21:57,714
...State.

475
00:22:00,174 --> 00:22:01,509
You'd give me Cathy's job?

476
00:22:02,552 --> 00:22:04,011
We're prepared to.

477
00:22:05,763 --> 00:22:07,139
[chuckling]

478
00:22:13,688 --> 00:22:15,272
- Doug.
- Madam Secretary.

479
00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:20,361
We have an issue, sir.

480
00:22:21,529 --> 00:22:24,129
[Brockhart] <i>When I first warned</i>
<i>the president that ICO would grow,</i>

481
00:22:24,156 --> 00:22:26,283
<i>and grow quickly, he did nothing.</i>

482
00:22:26,367 --> 00:22:29,078
Yesterday, the leaders of ICO
sent out this tweet.

483
00:22:29,161 --> 00:22:34,917
<i>"As Suwar is ours.
Soon heads will roll into the Euphrates."</i>

484
00:22:35,001 --> 00:22:37,378
<i>That wasn't just in Arabic,
that was in English,</i>

485
00:22:37,461 --> 00:22:40,339
and sent out in 16 other languages.

486
00:22:40,422 --> 00:22:42,466
They're media savvy,
they're recruiting around the globe.

487
00:22:42,550 --> 00:22:44,927
They have the money
and the manpower now.

488
00:22:45,011 --> 00:22:46,554
Once they get to the Euphrates,

489
00:22:46,638 --> 00:22:48,723
they'll have a choke hold
on northern Syria.

490
00:22:48,806 --> 00:22:52,935
<i>We must act, Mr. President,
and we must act now.</i>

491
00:22:53,936 --> 00:22:56,689
Normally, there's a tradition
of sportsmanship

492
00:22:56,773 --> 00:22:58,315
when it comes to conventions.

493
00:22:58,399 --> 00:22:59,859
One candidate lays low

494
00:22:59,942 --> 00:23:02,987
so the other gets his or her
moment in the spotlight.

495
00:23:03,946 --> 00:23:07,659
But not only is the president ignoring
a great threat to the world's security,

496
00:23:07,742 --> 00:23:12,079
he's insulted the one man
who stood up and spoke out for us all.

497
00:23:12,705 --> 00:23:17,835
When this profile came out about
everything the general just mentioned,

498
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:21,463
the White House said that
he was politicizing terrorism.

499
00:23:22,381 --> 00:23:24,466
And when I announced
that General Brockhart

500
00:23:24,551 --> 00:23:25,760
was going to be my running mate,

501
00:23:25,843 --> 00:23:28,680
the president's campaign said,
and I quote,

502
00:23:28,763 --> 00:23:33,392
"It's a shame the general
traded in patriotism for careerism."

503
00:23:34,727 --> 00:23:37,564
<i>Now, I don't call that very sportsmanlike.</i>

504
00:23:37,647 --> 00:23:39,315
<i>I call it disgraceful.</i>

505
00:23:39,398 --> 00:23:42,443
<i>How many wars has the president
fought for his country?</i>

506
00:23:43,444 --> 00:23:45,071
<i>I think we all know, none.</i>

507
00:23:45,613 --> 00:23:49,158
And he questions the patriotism
of a man who has fought in many?

508
00:23:50,367 --> 00:23:51,828
You hear me, Mr. President.

509
00:23:51,911 --> 00:23:54,789
<i>I demand that you do
something about ICO.</i>

510
00:23:54,872 --> 00:23:57,499
<i>And I demand that you make
an apology to the general.</i>

511
00:23:57,584 --> 00:24:00,211
<i>And we're not leaving Atlanta
until you've done both.</i>

512
00:24:01,128 --> 00:24:03,005
Live on every network right now.

513
00:24:04,215 --> 00:24:05,633
I gotta hand it to him.

514
00:24:05,717 --> 00:24:06,917
I wonder if this was his idea,

515
00:24:06,968 --> 00:24:09,053
'cause it's almost something
like I would do.

516
00:24:09,971 --> 00:24:13,015
We ignore him. It's 95 degrees.
Let him sweat it out.

517
00:24:13,099 --> 00:24:16,060
I think the longer we ignore him,
the more attention they'll get.

518
00:24:16,143 --> 00:24:17,144
I agree with LeAnn.

519
00:24:18,229 --> 00:24:19,230
So apologize.

520
00:24:19,897 --> 00:24:20,940
It's only pride.

521
00:24:21,858 --> 00:24:24,526
I can do it if you want, sir.
I wrote the statement.

522
00:24:24,611 --> 00:24:26,320
No, it only works
if it comes from Francis.

523
00:24:28,155 --> 00:24:29,198
Claire's right.

524
00:24:29,281 --> 00:24:31,659
And we can do more than just apologize.

525
00:24:31,743 --> 00:24:34,245
I can meet with the bastard.

526
00:24:34,328 --> 00:24:38,374
The issues the governor
and the general raise are important ones.

527
00:24:38,457 --> 00:24:43,295
They transcend party affiliations
and, quite frankly, politics.

528
00:24:44,130 --> 00:24:47,008
And so in that spirit,
I'm inviting the governor

529
00:24:47,091 --> 00:24:49,176
to come here and join me,

530
00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:52,388
so that we can have
a conversation privately because...

531
00:24:52,471 --> 00:24:56,058
whoever becomes the president
is going to have to deal with ICO

532
00:24:56,142 --> 00:24:58,645
and all of the other terrorist threats
that we face around the globe.

533
00:24:58,728 --> 00:25:04,984
So I'm looking forward to hearing whatever
ideas and solutions that they may have...

534
00:25:05,067 --> 00:25:08,445
because a smart president
will steal good ideas from anyone.

535
00:25:08,529 --> 00:25:10,849
- [all laughing]
- Let's kill them with kindness, shall we?

536
00:25:17,955 --> 00:25:19,498
- Governor.
- [Conway] <i>Mr. President.</i>

537
00:25:20,416 --> 00:25:23,335
[Frank] <i>Would you please</i>
<i>put the general on the line?</i>

538
00:25:26,798 --> 00:25:27,799
Sir?

539
00:25:27,882 --> 00:25:29,633
General...

540
00:25:29,717 --> 00:25:32,636
your service to this country
is greatly valued

541
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,223
and your patriotism is without doubt.

542
00:25:36,307 --> 00:25:39,560
And in the heat of the campaign,
well, we went too far.

543
00:25:39,643 --> 00:25:42,021
We issued statements
that we shouldn't have,

544
00:25:42,104 --> 00:25:45,316
and for that I want to apologize,
and I do hope that you will accept it.

545
00:25:45,399 --> 00:25:49,361
Far more important to me than an apology
is eliminating ICO, Mr. President.

546
00:25:49,445 --> 00:25:51,113
I couldn't agree with your more, General.

547
00:25:51,197 --> 00:25:53,597
If you'd be so kind as to put
the governor back on the phone.

548
00:25:57,286 --> 00:25:59,163
I received your invitation, Mr. President.

549
00:25:59,246 --> 00:26:01,123
And will you join us, Governor?

550
00:26:01,207 --> 00:26:03,835
Only if it leads to real action,
not just talk.

551
00:26:03,918 --> 00:26:05,461
<i>I can promise you, Governor,</i>

552
00:26:05,544 --> 00:26:08,380
and the rest of America
that it will not just be talk.

553
00:26:08,464 --> 00:26:11,592
Then, yes. If it truly leads
to securing our freedom.

554
00:26:12,093 --> 00:26:14,095
Thank you very much.
I look forward to seeing you.

555
00:26:14,178 --> 00:26:15,847
- [clamoring]
- Thank you all very much.

556
00:26:17,014 --> 00:26:18,682
[agent] Right this way, Governor.

557
00:26:21,393 --> 00:26:22,812
Do you think this a good idea?

558
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,564
What choice do I have?
He called my bluff.

559
00:26:42,623 --> 00:26:43,665
Welcome, Governor.

560
00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:45,417
Thank you, Mr. President.

561
00:26:51,465 --> 00:26:53,259
I have a room set up for us.

562
00:26:58,890 --> 00:27:00,016
Here.

563
00:27:01,267 --> 00:27:02,852
Have some lunch.

564
00:27:02,935 --> 00:27:06,105
We've got ham,
and I think some turkey.

565
00:27:06,188 --> 00:27:08,232
[Conway] I'm good, but thanks.

566
00:27:08,315 --> 00:27:09,441
Really?

567
00:27:09,525 --> 00:27:12,361
After the stunt you just pulled,
I would've thought you love ham.

568
00:27:12,444 --> 00:27:13,905
[chuckles]

569
00:27:17,241 --> 00:27:18,492
[laughs]

570
00:27:19,660 --> 00:27:20,828
You put this here on purpose.

571
00:27:20,912 --> 00:27:22,872
Well, a little reading material,
you know.

572
00:27:22,955 --> 00:27:24,916
Something to pass the time.

573
00:27:24,999 --> 00:27:26,834
I just got a text from Ben Grant saying

574
00:27:26,918 --> 00:27:29,962
searches for this issue is going
through the roof since we showed up here.

575
00:27:32,339 --> 00:27:34,258
Ben Grant owns Pollyhop...

576
00:27:34,341 --> 00:27:35,802
That's right.

577
00:27:36,510 --> 00:27:39,221
And you own Ben Grant.

578
00:27:40,597 --> 00:27:43,517
Isn't that what power is?
The people you collect?

579
00:27:44,643 --> 00:27:46,562
You really screwed me
with that webcast.

580
00:27:46,645 --> 00:27:49,065
I had everything all planned out.
[inhales sharply]

581
00:27:49,148 --> 00:27:52,318
The Federal Election Commission,
the Department of Justice.

582
00:27:52,401 --> 00:27:55,654
I was looking forward to watching you
go down in flames...

583
00:27:55,737 --> 00:27:56,823
maybe even behind bars.

584
00:27:57,406 --> 00:27:59,575
Well, I'm sorry I ruined your fun.

585
00:27:59,658 --> 00:28:01,869
It's a bit embarrassing,
though, isn't it?

586
00:28:02,411 --> 00:28:05,873
I mean, sharing all your most
intimate moments?

587
00:28:05,957 --> 00:28:07,333
Videos of your children?

588
00:28:07,416 --> 00:28:10,419
I'm proud of my family.
Why would I be embarrassed?

589
00:28:10,502 --> 00:28:13,630
Well, just that you have to stoop so low
to win everyone's love.

590
00:28:13,714 --> 00:28:15,716
It feels a bit desperate, doesn't it?

591
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:19,220
[chuckles] You're 15 points
behind in every poll.

592
00:28:19,303 --> 00:28:21,263
So, if anyone's desperate,
it should be you.

593
00:28:21,347 --> 00:28:23,975
Well, the key to being president
is not only winning your battles,

594
00:28:24,058 --> 00:28:25,298
it's winning them with dignity.

595
00:28:26,393 --> 00:28:29,438
- Should we talk about ICO?
- Oh, God. Why would we want to do that?

596
00:28:29,521 --> 00:28:31,273
[chuckles]

597
00:28:32,358 --> 00:28:34,360
It's why we're meeting.

598
00:28:34,443 --> 00:28:36,237
Oh, right.

599
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,073
"Real talk, real action."

600
00:28:39,156 --> 00:28:41,742
That's what you're all about, isn't it?

601
00:28:41,826 --> 00:28:44,871
Well, I suppose we could
if you want to, but... [sighs]

602
00:28:44,954 --> 00:28:49,208
then again we could just take
a break from it all and relax a bit.

603
00:28:51,836 --> 00:28:54,130
[chewing] Oh... God.

604
00:28:54,213 --> 00:28:55,714
This turkey tastes like rubber.

605
00:28:55,797 --> 00:28:57,341
Well, it's better than eating a real one.

606
00:28:57,424 --> 00:28:58,843
Hmm?

607
00:28:58,926 --> 00:29:02,138
Oh, I always wear protection when I'm
getting my dick sucked by the Democrats.

608
00:29:02,221 --> 00:29:04,640
- [coughs]
- [both laughing]

609
00:29:05,766 --> 00:29:07,684
- [chokes]
- You okay?

610
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,563
[coughing]
I'm fine. I'm fine.

611
00:29:11,647 --> 00:29:12,982
[inhales sharply]

612
00:29:13,065 --> 00:29:14,608
[mutters]

613
00:29:14,691 --> 00:29:17,153
Don't make me laugh when I'm eating.
I nearly choked to death.

614
00:29:17,236 --> 00:29:19,071
Well, that is one way for me
to become president.

615
00:29:19,155 --> 00:29:20,572
[both laugh]

616
00:29:23,325 --> 00:29:24,743
- Here you go.
- [laughing] Thank you.

617
00:29:24,826 --> 00:29:27,079
- You okay?
- Oh, yeah.

618
00:29:27,163 --> 00:29:28,705
- Hmm.
- [laughs]

619
00:29:29,706 --> 00:29:31,500
[sighs]

620
00:29:31,583 --> 00:29:33,085
Do you mind if I take these off?

621
00:29:33,752 --> 00:29:37,006
They're brand new
and I'm still breaking 'em in.

622
00:29:37,089 --> 00:29:38,424
[grunting]

623
00:29:41,052 --> 00:29:42,803
[thud]

624
00:29:42,887 --> 00:29:44,138
[exhales]

625
00:29:44,221 --> 00:29:46,473
You like to play video games, right?

626
00:29:47,391 --> 00:29:49,060
Now, how did you hear about that?

627
00:29:50,602 --> 00:29:51,603
Tom Yates.

628
00:29:51,687 --> 00:29:53,855
Oh, yes.

629
00:29:53,940 --> 00:29:56,650
Tom Yates. [chuckles]

630
00:29:56,733 --> 00:30:00,112
That's one person you weren't
able to collect, were you?

631
00:30:01,613 --> 00:30:03,074
What did you do to get him back?

632
00:30:03,157 --> 00:30:07,869
Oh, look, I'm sure he was tempted.
He is a fiction writer, after all.

633
00:30:07,954 --> 00:30:09,788
You're a New York Republican.

634
00:30:09,871 --> 00:30:11,431
That's an attractive fiction, isn't it?

635
00:30:11,457 --> 00:30:15,002
And you're a Democrat from South Carolina,
that's even bigger fiction.

636
00:30:15,086 --> 00:30:16,128
Well, there you go.

637
00:30:16,212 --> 00:30:19,173
And I'm a New York Republican,
which is basically a Democrat.

638
00:30:20,091 --> 00:30:22,676
If you were a Democrat,
you'd be unstoppable.

639
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:24,470
You'd be the new JFK.

640
00:30:24,553 --> 00:30:26,953
[chuckles] And if you were a Republican,
who'd you be? Nixon?

641
00:30:28,057 --> 00:30:30,392
Nixon was a far more effective president.

642
00:30:30,476 --> 00:30:33,479
The only reason people glorify Kennedy
is because he got shot.

643
00:30:33,562 --> 00:30:35,802
Well, you've got that going for you,
too, now, don't you?

644
00:30:35,856 --> 00:30:39,276
And you've got your search engine
and all your little home videos.

645
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,778
See, if people want a piece of you...

646
00:30:42,696 --> 00:30:44,365
you give it to them, right?

647
00:30:44,448 --> 00:30:47,618
[softly] Oh, is that what people want?

648
00:30:47,701 --> 00:30:48,827
A piece of you?

649
00:30:57,003 --> 00:30:58,254
Do you play video games?

650
00:30:58,337 --> 00:31:00,381
No. My kids do.

651
00:31:04,093 --> 00:31:08,680
There's this one game that
my son Charlie, he loves to play.

652
00:31:08,764 --> 00:31:10,474
It's called <i>Agar.io.</i>

653
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,160
I have to admit, I might have played it
a couple of times myself.

654
00:31:16,397 --> 00:31:18,649
[stutters] You start out as a little dot.

655
00:31:19,566 --> 00:31:22,778
And then you go around eating
these other dots and you get bigger.

656
00:31:23,779 --> 00:31:27,616
And the bigger you get, you gotta avoid
getting eaten by the bigger players.

657
00:31:27,699 --> 00:31:29,868
Meanwhile, you're trying to eat
the smaller players.

658
00:31:29,951 --> 00:31:32,413
Hmm. Sounds a little like
running for president.

659
00:31:32,496 --> 00:31:34,831
[chuckles]

660
00:31:34,915 --> 00:31:37,209
So, are you playing with
real people right now?

661
00:31:37,293 --> 00:31:38,493
Yeah. From all over the world.

662
00:31:40,504 --> 00:31:42,173
- Here, you try it.
- Hmm.

663
00:31:44,216 --> 00:31:45,842
- [Frank] Oh, I got eaten.
- Press that.

664
00:31:45,926 --> 00:31:48,429
[Frank] Ah, oh, I see.
It makes you small again.

665
00:31:48,512 --> 00:31:51,140
[Conway] Yeah, you gotta start over
from square one every single time.

666
00:31:51,223 --> 00:31:53,642
[Frank] Oh, God.
I got eaten again.

667
00:31:56,062 --> 00:31:57,438
I wonder what the other players
would think

668
00:31:57,521 --> 00:31:59,231
if they knew who
they were playing against.

669
00:31:59,315 --> 00:32:01,608
Oh, I'm rather enjoying the anonymity.

670

Nothing.

The fog of war.

695
00:33:25,609 --> 00:33:28,028
A back room within a back room.

696
00:33:28,112 --> 00:33:31,823
Whatever's being plotted in there,
I can tell you it's no good for me.

697
00:33:31,907 --> 00:33:34,285
You know, it's at times like these
I wish I was Nixon,

698
00:33:34,368 --> 00:33:36,412
had every nook and cranny bugged.

699
00:33:37,163 --> 00:33:39,540
- Mr. President?
- [Frank] <i>Your colleague.</i>

700
00:33:39,623 --> 00:33:41,375
How targeted can he get?

701
00:33:42,834 --> 00:33:44,954
We really shouldn't be
discussing this over the phone.

702
00:33:45,421 --> 00:33:47,381
Can he isolate a specific person?

703
00:33:48,924 --> 00:33:50,801
Technically, yes, but...

704
00:33:50,884 --> 00:33:51,968
A conversation?

705
00:33:52,553 --> 00:33:55,306
There are catch mechanisms
in the program to prevent that.

706
00:33:55,389 --> 00:33:58,684
He can override, but it leaves a trail.
He's still figuring out how to mask it.

707
00:33:58,767 --> 00:34:01,978
Our friend from New York.
I want to know what he's saying right now.

708
00:34:05,232 --> 00:34:07,734
Sir, I strongly advise against that.

709
00:34:07,818 --> 00:34:09,403
I also advise that we hang up.

710
00:34:09,486 --> 00:34:11,029
<i>All right, I'm hanging up.</i>

711
00:34:17,203 --> 00:34:19,246
- [knocking]
- Governor, should we head out?

712
00:34:19,330 --> 00:34:21,122
[Conway] Just a moment,
Mr. President.

713
00:34:22,416 --> 00:34:23,750
<i>There's a great deal
of anticipation in Atlanta...</i>

714
00:34:23,834 --> 00:34:24,835
Who was that?

715
00:34:24,918 --> 00:34:27,588
[LeAnn sighs] The president.
He just wanted the latest delegate count.

716
00:34:27,671 --> 00:34:29,298
<i>...and we're minutes away
from the next ballot.</i>

720
00:34:37,514 --> 00:34:39,350
He hates what?

721
00:34:40,392 --> 00:34:43,270
That you have direct access to
the president without going through him.

722
00:34:44,563 --> 00:34:45,981
He wants you gone.

723
00:34:46,898 --> 00:34:48,400
Doug told you that?

724
00:34:50,652 --> 00:34:52,238
He wants me to dig something up on you.

725
00:34:53,697 --> 00:34:55,907
I haven't found anything yet.

726
00:34:55,991 --> 00:34:58,285
And you won't,
because there isn't anything.

727
00:34:58,369 --> 00:35:00,829
I know.
Otherwise, I would've found it by now.

728
00:35:03,249 --> 00:35:04,541
Why are you telling me this?

729
00:35:04,625 --> 00:35:08,795
Because either you're gone or I am,
if I don't deliver.

730
00:35:10,422 --> 00:35:11,590
Unless you give me something.

771
00:36:55,736 --> 00:36:58,238
[Madam Secretary] Hawaii,
you're next.

772
00:36:58,322 --> 00:37:00,866
Seventeen for the First Lady,

773
00:37:00,949 --> 00:37:05,537
<i>and 14 for Secretary of State
Catherine Durant.</i>

774
00:37:05,621 --> 00:37:07,456
She's got a real shot.

775
00:37:07,539 --> 00:37:08,999
Unbelievable!

776
00:37:10,334 --> 00:37:12,378
Well, not so unbelievable.

777
00:37:13,128 --> 00:37:15,381
Forty-four votes for Catherine Durant,

778
00:37:15,464 --> 00:37:18,509
35 votes for Claire Underwood.

779
00:37:18,592 --> 00:37:20,260
[Madam Secretary] Louisiana,

780
00:37:20,344 --> 00:37:22,638
you have 61 votes.

781
00:37:22,721 --> 00:37:24,598
How do you cast them?

782
00:37:24,681 --> 00:37:25,682
Madam Secretary...

783
00:37:26,475 --> 00:37:32,188
Louisiana casts its 61 votes
for President of the United States

784
00:37:32,272 --> 00:37:35,776
to Secretary of State Catherine Durant.

785
00:37:36,527 --> 00:37:40,364
[Madam Secretary] <i>Louisiana,</i>
<i>I assume you mean vice president.</i>

786
00:37:40,447 --> 00:37:41,990
<i>I mean president.</i>

787
00:37:42,073 --> 00:37:45,452
<i>Madam Secretary,
the state of Louisiana</i>

788
00:37:45,536 --> 00:37:47,829
believes this convention
should be open

789
00:37:47,913 --> 00:37:51,542
for all parts of the ticket,
including president.

790
00:37:54,461 --> 00:37:56,212
[Madam Secretary] Louisiana!

791
00:37:57,130 --> 00:37:58,549
[gavel banging]

792
00:37:58,632 --> 00:37:59,633
Louisiana!

793
00:37:59,716 --> 00:38:04,304
<i>As the convention agreed
to yesterday morning,</i>

794
00:38:04,388 --> 00:38:08,392
<i>we are taking vice presidential
nominations first,</i>

795
00:38:08,475 --> 00:38:13,313
<i>in order for that process
to take place over the full convention.</i>

796
00:38:14,481 --> 00:38:17,192
<i>We have one candidate for president.</i>

797
00:38:18,026 --> 00:38:22,448
<i>Any further discussion
on that balloting will be taken up</i>

798
00:38:22,531 --> 00:38:27,327
<i>after the vice presidential
nomination process is complete.</i>

799
00:38:27,411 --> 00:38:32,499
If you do not cast your votes,
you will forfeit them.

800
00:38:32,583 --> 00:38:36,420
Madam Secretary, we, Louisiana,

801
00:38:36,503 --> 00:38:39,965
<i>cast our 61 votes for vice president,</i>

802
00:38:40,048 --> 00:38:42,426
also for Catherine Durant.

803
00:38:42,509 --> 00:38:44,052
[crowd yelling]

804
00:38:45,971 --> 00:38:47,222
[gavel banging]

805
00:38:47,305 --> 00:38:48,640
[Madam Secretary] Louisiana.

806
00:38:48,724 --> 00:38:50,767
[Catherine] <i>I work for the man.</i>
<i>I'm on his cabinet.</i>

807
00:38:50,851 --> 00:38:51,977
[overlapping clamor]

808
00:38:52,060 --> 00:38:53,895
Would you run against him
if his nomination were in play?

809
00:38:53,979 --> 00:38:56,231
My goal is to run with the president,
not against him.

810
00:38:56,314 --> 00:38:58,900
<i>Look, I love my home state
of Louisiana,</i>

811
00:38:58,984 --> 00:39:00,652
<i>- but they're a live bunch...</i>
- She'd do a good job.

812
00:39:00,736 --> 00:39:02,320
She's a much better
Secretary of State, though.

813
00:39:02,403 --> 00:39:04,280
<i>I'm confident this will all
work itself out.</i>

814
00:39:04,364 --> 00:39:06,032
I've considered keeping her on
after you lose.

815
00:39:06,116 --> 00:39:08,577
[reporter] <i>Have you spoken to</i>
<i>President Underwood about their defection?</i>

816
00:39:08,660 --> 00:39:11,204
[Catherine] <i>Not yet, but I'll be speaking</i>
<i>with him shortly, I imagine.</i>

817
00:39:11,287 --> 00:39:12,914
<i>Hey, this is part of what a...</i>

818
00:39:12,998 --> 00:39:14,833
- Your call.
<i>- ...convention is all about.</i>

819
00:39:15,751 --> 00:39:19,713
I wish I could take credit,
but... but she called me.

820
00:39:19,796 --> 00:39:21,632
Then again,
when opportunity strikes...

821
00:39:21,715 --> 00:39:22,883
<i>Thank you very much.</i>

822
00:39:24,676 --> 00:39:26,720
Definitely not the way
to win with dignity.

823
00:39:26,803 --> 00:39:29,055
[reporter] <i>...Durant commenting</i>
<i>on her home state of Louisiana.</i>

824
00:39:29,139 --> 00:39:30,599
If you win at all.

825
00:39:32,976 --> 00:39:36,813
We should get back out there.
You've got a nomination to fight for.

826
00:39:41,735 --> 00:39:43,487
The president and I, we had a great talk.

827
00:39:43,570 --> 00:39:45,697
We, uh, even watched
the vote together.

828
00:39:45,781 --> 00:39:47,991
But I'm sure you'd rather hear
from him on that than me.

829
00:39:48,074 --> 00:39:49,200
Well, thank you, Governor.

830
00:39:49,284 --> 00:39:53,872
Today has certainly been
full of surprises, hasn't it?

831
00:39:53,955 --> 00:39:57,709
But, then again, Louisiana is the state
that gave us Huey Long after all.

832
00:39:57,793 --> 00:40:00,128
- [crowd chuckles]
- As much as I would like to discuss this,

833
00:40:00,211 --> 00:40:01,588
I have to get on with the business

834
00:40:01,672 --> 00:40:03,298
that the governor and I
have just discussed,

835
00:40:03,381 --> 00:40:07,260
because the business
of the presidency trumps running for it.

836
00:40:07,343 --> 00:40:08,720
- Thank you, Governor.
- Thank you, Mr. President.

837
00:40:08,804 --> 00:40:09,846
Thank you all very much.

838
00:40:10,889 --> 00:40:11,973
[Conway] I'm happy to answer...

839
00:40:12,057 --> 00:40:13,767
I want Cathy in my room, now.

840
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:15,310
I already called her.
She refuses to meet.

841
00:40:15,393 --> 00:40:16,895
- She what?
- That's what she said,

842
00:40:16,978 --> 00:40:18,271
and then she hung up.

843
00:40:18,354 --> 00:40:19,914
Her staff won't return my calls either.

844
00:40:19,940 --> 00:40:22,150
[crowd cheering]

845
00:40:28,031 --> 00:40:30,450
[Frank] For this to work,
you have to go back to Washington.

846
00:40:30,534 --> 00:40:32,285
[Claire] I can't leave
while you're dealing with this.

847
00:40:32,368 --> 00:40:34,580
[Frank] If you stay, it will look like
you're taking advantage

848
00:40:34,663 --> 00:40:35,706
and campaigning for it.

849
00:40:35,789 --> 00:40:38,249
And the key is to make it
look like you're not.

850
00:40:38,333 --> 00:40:39,375
I'll speak with Cathy.

851
00:40:39,459 --> 00:40:41,059
[Frank] No, look, I've got that covered.

852
00:40:41,127 --> 00:40:43,463
Question is,
how we justify your going.

853
00:40:44,505 --> 00:40:45,716
[sighs]

854
00:40:47,759 --> 00:40:48,802
It's not Washington.

855
00:40:49,803 --> 00:40:51,304
It should be Texas.

856
00:40:53,056 --> 00:40:55,851
- Your mother.
- It worked before.

857
00:40:56,476 --> 00:40:58,228
I'll leave first thing in the morning.

858
00:40:59,855 --> 00:41:00,939
Take Tom with you.

859
00:41:01,022 --> 00:41:03,274
- Tom?
- Oh, he already knows.

860
00:41:03,358 --> 00:41:05,611
- Did you tell him?
- He put it together.

861
00:41:06,612 --> 00:41:09,197
He said,
if you win this thing...

862
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,492
you have to give the speech
of a lifetime, and he's right.

863
00:41:12,576 --> 00:41:15,536
Whatever you say
in that convention hall

864
00:41:15,621 --> 00:41:19,249
will lay the groundwork for how we
sell this to the rest of the country.

865
00:41:21,501 --> 00:41:24,337
And that is why
we brought him back, right?

866
00:41:44,775 --> 00:41:45,984
[sighs]

867
00:41:49,529 --> 00:41:51,489
You can sleep like that?
Sitting up?

868
00:41:52,365 --> 00:41:54,409
I can sleep anywhere.

869
00:41:54,492 --> 00:41:55,869
I'm lucky like that.

870
00:41:56,620 --> 00:41:57,913
[chuckles softly]

871
00:41:59,247 --> 00:42:00,290
We have work to do.

872
00:42:02,292 --> 00:42:04,335
All right, let's work.

873
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,425
This could be better.

874
00:42:13,344 --> 00:42:15,847
Read it for me.
Out loud.

875
00:42:18,684 --> 00:42:21,394
"I've been my husband's partner
in marriage for 29 years."

876
00:42:21,477 --> 00:42:22,520
No.

877
00:42:23,563 --> 00:42:24,898
Slower.

878
00:42:24,981 --> 00:42:27,192
Like you're going to say it
at the convention.

879
00:42:31,071 --> 00:42:33,031
"I've been my husband's
partner in marriage

880
00:42:33,114 --> 00:42:34,991
for 29 years.

881
00:42:35,075 --> 00:42:37,368
Now, it's time for me to be..."

882
00:42:41,873 --> 00:42:43,166
So I can see your face.

883
00:42:52,425 --> 00:42:55,804
"I've been my husband's partner
in marriage for 29 years.

884
00:42:56,722 --> 00:43:00,892
Now, it's time for me to be his partner
in the White House for the next four."

885
00:43:03,061 --> 00:43:04,145
You're right.

886
00:43:05,188 --> 00:43:06,481
We can do better.

887
00:43:11,235 --> 00:43:16,388
