1
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,608
Vice President Matthews.
2
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,764
Mr. Vice President.
3
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,926
Mr. Vice President.
4
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,206
Frank.
5
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,321
Sir, I'm gonna need you
to stand on your mark.
6
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,051
I'm fine right here.
7
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,685
Two minutes, people.
8
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,521
So they pull me from the car, both
legs broken, fractured skull,
9
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,886
punctured lung.
10
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,086
My heart stops.
11
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,806
Two full minutes.
12
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,244
They're pumping my chest.
Nothing.
13
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,765
They grab the defibrillators.
14
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,121
Nothing.
15
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,207
Third time,
the pistons start firin'.
16
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,248
Doctors tell me
it's a miracle I'm alive.
17
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,800
But seriously, you talk about
a wake-up call from God.
18
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,921
You don't get to come
back from the dead twice.
19
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,604
The President of
the United States.
20
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,686
Good morning.
21
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,723
The Education Reform and Achievement
Act that I sign into law today
22
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,923
will affect every child and
parent in the United States,
23
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,609
will ensure a better educated
workforce for decades to come,
24
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,561
and will reinforce America's pre-eminence
as an intellectual superpower.
25
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:20,850
And I'd like to thank
one man in particular,
26
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,921
who never lost sight
of the larger mission,
27
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,970
who spearheaded this bill
from the beginning.
28
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,929
And that's
Congressman Frank Underwood.
29
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,286
Invited guests, please join us
in the East Room for refreshments.
30
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,203
Media,
we will convene immediately
31
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,209
in the Briefing Room
for our conference.
32
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,570
Linda, thank you so
much for all the help
33
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,364
you gave us in
getting this bill passed.
34
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,444
No, thank you, Frank. This was
your baby from the beginning.
35
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,251
I appreciate you standing your
ground on this one, Frank.
36
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,049
I'm smart enough to
admit when I was wrong.
37
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,924
I was just telling Frank
we should set up a weekly,
38
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,367
so he can keep us up-to-date on
what's going on in the House.
39
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,566
That sounds like a great idea.
40
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,481
Congratulations, sir.
41
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,801
Garrett...
42
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,005
I was wondering if we could
talk for a few minutes.
43
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,208
That thing I mentioned
a couple of weeks ago,
44
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:46,486
about the jobs tax credit...
45
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,609
I've been giving it a lot of thought,
Jim, and I think it's a good idea,
46
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,326
but I'd like to look over my
notes first, if you don't mind,
47
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,010
so I can talk about it
intelligently with you.
48
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,010
Sir, you have your call
with the Prime Minister.
49
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,041
Busy man.
50
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,321
Yes, he is.
51
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,085
Frank, I hear that
you are heading up
52
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,931
the special election
in my home state.
53
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,047
Peter Russo.
54
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,885
We're trying to keep that under the
radar until he officially announces.
55
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,086
In fact,
we're not even working
56
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,401
out of my office
until that happens.
57
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,851
Where are you
working from?
58
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,365
The basement of my house.
59
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,280
Any reason why the DNC didn't
ask my advice on the candidate?
60
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,442
Well, I thought they passed
it by you or that Linda did.
61
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,010
Nobody did.
62
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,565
Well, that is unacceptable.
63
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,244
And I have major doubts
about Russo.
64
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,010
His inexperience?
65
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,290
Yes. And he's urban-based. I don't know
if he'll connect with rural voters.
66
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,124
Look, frankly that's one
of my concerns as well.
67
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,725
We're working on that.
68
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,246
But if you were to come out
and stump with him,
69
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,800
that would go
a long way to convince...
70
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,087
Frank, I can't stump for
somebody I don't believe in.
71
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,885
It's early days yet. I'd ask
you to keep an open mind.
72
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,970
And let me know if you want me to set
up a meeting between the two of you.
73
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,170
Because, sir, an endorsement from
you would be a big coup for him.
74
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,887
It's good to see you,
Mr. Vice President.
75
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,081
Frank.
76
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,529
Congressman Underwood.
77
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,084
Ms. Barnes.
I was under the impression
78
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,890
you didn't want to
cover the White House.
79
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Slugline just got
access yesterday.
80
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,606
I know.
81
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,682
I left The Herald because I didn't
want to cover the White House,
82
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,886
and now here I am.
83
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,327
Access isn't the same
as a ball and chain.
84
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,771
Am I only gonna see you
at bill signings now?
85
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,683
I haven't heard from you
in three weeks.
86
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,330
Insecurity bores me.
87
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,084
I feel the same way
about condescension.
88
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,970
Your place. This evening. And I'll
text when I'm about to arrive.
89
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,690
What if I'm busy?
90
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,729
You're just afraid
I'm gonna stand you up again.
91
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,962
I just want to make sure
it's worth my while.
92
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,965
It'll be worth your while.
This'll make up for last time.
93
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,806
It's a piece of history. From
the President's hand to yours.
94
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,122
You believe in all that higher power
stuff they talk about in the room?
95
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,566
I believe there are
things beyond our control.
96
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,210
Who or what's controlling
them, that I don't know.
97
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,285
I don't believe in God.
Heaven. Hell. None of it.
98
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,811
Too much Catholic school?
99
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,405
Maybe.
100
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,847
I'm not saying you
have to believe in God, Peter,
101
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,524
or anything for that matter.
102
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,931
But you shouldn't
rule anything out.
103
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,641
I should go.
104
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,051
It's on the campaign.
105
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,402
Our cross tabs show
81% of likely voters
106
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,363
are willing to consider
a recovering alcoholic.
107
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,970
Now,
those numbers dip a little
108
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,929
when you introduce cocaine,
but not by much.
109
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,281
Randy?
110
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,811
It's a risk,
but it'll make waves.
111
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,211
Free coverage
across the board.
112
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,731
The narrative has
to be redemption,
113
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,404
a phoenix
from the ashes.
114
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,931
Well, let's not
focus on the ashes.
115
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,480
We don't want people to
think Peter was a disaster.
116
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:44,642
No, no.
We focus on the positive.
117
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,769
A "fresh start" and a "clean start"
both did well in focus groups.
118
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,161
"Clean start" sounds too
much like "clean slate."
119
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,241
I like "fresh start."
120
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,327
Yeah, I do too.
121
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,765
How we doing on
the fundraising?
122
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,888
The alcoholic thing will turn off
some of the in-state donors,
123
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,007
but it's
an off-year election.
124
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,481
We can hit up the usual suspects
in New York and California.
125
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:02,006
Walter,
how vulnerable are we?
126
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,730
I'm not prepared to
answer that question.
127
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,084
Peter and I have
yet to perform
128
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,770
the holy sacrament
of confession.
129
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,489
We still need to address
the shipyard closing, too.
130
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:12,005
Claire's helping us with that.
131
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,846
We are pushing a bill called the
Delaware River Watershed Act
132
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,684
and I think
it's going to bring
133
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,564
about 5,000 jobs
into Peter's districts
134
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,766
over the next three years.
135
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,887
We have a draft
of the bill completed.
136
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,089
Peter's in the process
of securing co-sponsors.
137
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,288
And who have you called,
by the way?
138
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,526
I have some emails out, but most
of them wanna see a bill first.
139
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,489
Have you set up a meeting
with the shipbuilders yet?
140
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:33,561
I don't think
they're gonna back me.
141
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,041
That's the entire
point of the bill, Peter.
142
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,884
Well,
if I go to them and I say,
143
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,645
"Hey, some of you
maybe will get your jobs back,
144
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,206
"not tomorrow,
but three years from now,
145
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,328
"and most of you won't be getting
your jobs back anyway..."
146
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,641
All right, let's put a pin in
this until we get more sponsors.
147
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,722
I have to go to the office.
I'll catch you all later.
148
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,882
Okay, let's move on
to our field plan.
149
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,485
I want to go through
the regions one by one...
150
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:54,800
Francis.
151
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,601
We spent six weeks
on that bill.
152
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,523
It'll be fine.
He'll come around.
153
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,244
I'll see you
later tonight?
154
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,651
I have an appointment.
155
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,085
So I won't see you
until morning.
156
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,527
I'll be back
before you get up.
157
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,571
I appreciate your
taking the time today, sir.
158
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,085
Did you get that
tax credit memo
159
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,565
the economic research
team put together?
160
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,041
You didn't ask me
here to talk about memos.
161
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,805
I know small talk
when I hear it, Linda.
162
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,327
The President has asked that you
take a step back from Pennsylvania.
163
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,687
You've been taking a lot of trips
there, meeting with legislators...
164
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,762
It's my home state.
There's a jobs crisis.
165
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,205
We can't afford
to play favorites.
166
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,931
The message is 50 states,
one solution.
167
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,968
Not one state, 50 solutions.
168
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,442
I never expected to be involved
in every policy or decision,
169
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,603
but I have been completely
cut out of everything.
170
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,843
We value your input, Mr. Vice
President, but right now, we can't...
171
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,001
Don't condescend, Linda.
172
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,361
No one even asked me who I
thought should fill my seat.
173
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,410
Why is Frank Underwood leading
the charge on that, not me?
174
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,885
That is a DNC issue.
175
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,923
We are staying out of it
and so should you.
176
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,526
And so I'm supposed to just cut
ribbons and go to funerals?
177
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,885
You know
what you signed up for.
178
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,246
Thank you,
Mr. Vice President.
179
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,964
I didn't get my pen.
180
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:13,727
Your pen?
181
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,887
From the bill signing.
182
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,203
We'll see what we
can do about that.
183
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,451
I can see
your security guy.
184
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:31,925
Meechum?
185
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,645
He's cute.
186
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,644
He'd never go for you.
187
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,006
Why not?
188
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,889
You're too intimidating.
189
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,042
He's the one with the gun.
190
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,931
But you're the one
with the Congressman.
191
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,921
Uh-uh.
192
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,843
We'll talk after.
193
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,604
We'll talk before.
194
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,765
Peter Russo.
195
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,523
Pennsylvania's first district.
He's gonna run for Governor,
196
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,082
fill Matthews' seat.
It's an exclusive profile.
197
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,561
With someone
no one's ever heard of.
198
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,721
What's the angle?
199
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,404
Alcohol, drugs.
200
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,209
He's a kid
from the streets.
201
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,282
I want the profile to come
out as soon as he announces,
202
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,567
and I'd like it
to be kind.
203
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,483
I don't write puff pieces.
204
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,961
Then get someone
else to write it.
205
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,644
I thought you had
something for me.
206
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,166
It's too easy for people
to link me as your source.
207
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,969
It's dangerous.
208
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,801
I don't benefit from handing
out headlines to other people.
209
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,642
Generosity is its
own form of power, Zoe.
210
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,766
Step Six.
211
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,084
Take the opposite edge
and fold it into a...
212
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,811
Step seven.
213
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,122
Turn the model over
and fold both edges
214
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,964
to the center
of the model.
215
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,004
You always wear
sunglasses at night?
216
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,480
How did you find me?
217
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,805
I figured you had
to be in government.
218
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,331
I kept googling till
I found your picture.
219
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,368
This won't work,
what you're doing.
220
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,890
That was a one-time deal. You don't
get to keep coming back for more.
221
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,325
I'll go to the police.
222
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,006
They'll laugh in your face.
Look at you.
223
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,763
If the police won't listen to
me, I'll call TV stations.
224
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,484
I know the names...
225
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,168
Douglas Stamper, Peter
Russo, Frank Underwood.
226
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,205
You are walking down a road
you do not want to walk down.
227
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,207
Please,
I won't call anyone.
228
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,725
But I need your help.
229
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,962
I don't have anywhere to go. I
don't have anyone I can call.
230
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,568
I've had to do things. And I
don't want to do it anymore.
231
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,802
That's all I've got
right now.
232
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,611
Find a place to stay
and let me know where you are.
233
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,768
I'll figure something out.
234
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,521
You hungry?
235
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,604
What's your name?
236
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:51,921
Sapphire.
237
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,646
No. What's your name?
238
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,090
Rachel.
239
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,449
Your ex-wife.
Anything uncouth?
240
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,521
How do you mean?
241
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,761
Bondage, orgies,
water sports?
242
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,121
No. Definitely not.
243
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,043
- Narcotics?
- She wasn't into that.
244
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:10,884
Not even a little ganga?
245
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,530
Okay, once in a blue moon.
246
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,601
Ever with your children?
247
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,801
God, no!
248
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:15,881
Ever in front of them?
249
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,486
Look, I'm not the world's best
dad, but I would never do that.
250
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,369
Fine. Let's move
on to prostitution.
251
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,771
How long is this gonna take?
252
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,569
Until there's nothing
I don't know about you.
253
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,721
I wrote all this down.
254
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,610
I've been doing this
a long time, Congressman.
255
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,967
I know when I've scraped
all the shit off the shoe.
256
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:34,485
Prostitution.
257
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,090
After my divorce, I took a trip to Thailand.
It was about two weeks.
258
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,161
How many women?
259
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:46,724
Ten. Fifteen.
260
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,004
I... I don't know.
It was a bit of a blur.
261
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,924
There were drugs?
262
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,001
Yes.
263
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,768
Opium, speed, some smack.
264
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,444
- Powder or needles?
- Both.
265
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,760
Would any of these women
know who you are?
266
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,365
No.
None of them spoke English.
267
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,050
And I never mentioned
I was a congressman.
268
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:05,771
Have you mainlined heroin
back here in the States?
269
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:09,964
- Just once.
- Any scars on your arm?
270
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,725
No. I was mainly into cocaine.
271
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,403
What about prostitutes
here in D.C.? How often?
272
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,646
I fucked around a bit, okay?
273
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:23,921
Details, please.
274
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,724
Do you get off on this
or something?
275
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,604
Does a doctor enjoy it
when he cups your balls
276
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,409
and asks you to cough?
277
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,487
You wanna know how
many times I came?
278
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,961
I honestly don't care
whether you win.
279
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,088
But if you do,
work with me.
280
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,970
How often did you
solicit prostitutes in D.C.?
281
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,088
Once every two
or three months.
282
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,243
Sometimes more frequently,
sometimes less.
283
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,049
Do you have reason to believe
any of them were underage?
284
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:45,963
Jesus! No. Look,
they were mostly high-end.
285
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,280
That doesn't
mean they were 18.
286
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,731
I need a fucking break!
287
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,644
What's going on?
288
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,484
He's an amateur, Frank.
289
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,403
If I can get under his skin
in less than an hour,
290
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,050
how do you think
he'll hold up under the press?
291
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,241
It'll be a turkey shoot.
292
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,163
All right. I'll speak to him.
293
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,651
Frank, it's just, it's not gonna work.
I'm gonna get crucified.
294
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,286
You'll be fine. We've got
a crack team behind you.
295
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:24,091
It doesn't matter how good the team is.
With my past? Come on.
296
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,322
From the very beginning,
I said this was the plan.
297
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,243
- You agreed to it.
- I didn't think it through.
298
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,848
We have to tackle this head-on,
or the GOP will crucify you.
299
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,287
We have to steal their
ammunition from them.
300
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,563
Honesty is your best
defense and offense.
301
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,005
I'm the one that
has to get in front of
302
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,531
these cameras
and say this shit.
303
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,204
They don't have to say it.
I do.
304
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,044
- Peter...
- I wanna be governor. I do.
305
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,810
But not this way.
I just can't do it.
306
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,970
If you weren't unsure now, there'd
be something wrong with you.
307
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,405
I expected this.
308
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,801
Not easy,
what we're asking you to do.
309
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,287
It's okay to
vacillate a little.
310
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,530
I'm not trying to throw
a wrench in the works.
311
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,364
I know you're not.
I'll tell you what.
312
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,522
You take the rest of the day off.
You go back to your office,
313
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,642
you catch up with whatever
you have to catch up on,
314
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,764
you get a good night's sleep,
you go to a meeting tomorrow,
315
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,763
and then you come here and we'll
talk the whole thing through.
316
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,330
Can you give me
at least that?
317
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,801
Yeah. Okay, Frank.
318
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:18,167
Good.
319
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,129
What's going on with all
the little sculptures?
320
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,369
I found a flower on
the dining room table
321
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,364
and a bird on
the nightstand a few days ago.
322
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,765
It's a swan.
323
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,409
- You made them?
- Yes.
324
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,331
A new hobby?
325
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,841
No.
326
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,161
It's an interest.
327
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,487
May I bring up something
else I've noticed?
328
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,845
What's that?
329
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,481
You...
330
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,804
Standing in front
of the refrigerator.
331
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,362
Is there a reason you haven't
talked to me about it?
332
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,011
I haven't felt
the need to.
333
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,570
Is it bad?
334
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,130
It's not pleasant.
335
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,209
But, no, it's not bad.
336
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,681
What can I do?
337
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,120
Nothing.
338
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,726
If there were something,
I'd ask.
339
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,605
Did you think it was
weird that I called you?
340
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,290
Totally weird.
341
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,688
Except for the fact that I
was planning on calling you.
342
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,564
Really? Why?
343
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,329
I was a real grade-A bitch
to you at The Herald,
344
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,210
and I almost apologized when I
saw you at the White House,
345
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,361
but I chickened out.
346
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,091
So, anyway, I am drunk enough,
and I am sorry.
347
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,843
Why did you call me?
348
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,402
I was just wondering how things were
going at the old stomping ground.
349
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,448
Here you go.
Thank you.
350
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,682
It's just not
the same since Tom left.
351
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,650
And I don't blame you
for doing what you did.
352
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,767
But this new guy?
353
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,209
Six years running EW Online
does not a managing editor make.
354
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,602
Would you ever want
to come work with us?
355
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,888
I mean,
it'd be a huge fucking deal.
356
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,123
Chief Political Correspondent of
The Herald moves to Slugline?
357
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,248
Did Carly Heath
put you up to this?
358
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:51,046
No. Not at all. But if you
want, I could talk to her.
359
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,285
You think
she would go for it?
360
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,051
Honestly, I don't know.
361
00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:59,169
She's got this sort of
anti-establishment "fuck you" attitude.
362
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,325
Conventional news bores her.
363
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,488
But if you had
something gritty to show...
364
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,047
I've got a story
if you want it.
365
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:10,690
It's pretty fucking great.
366
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,410
You would give away a story?
367
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,845
If you're not interested...
368
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,729
No, I'm interested.
369
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,641
If I seem a little hung-over,
it is because I am.
370
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,842
A lot hung-over,
actually.
371
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,689
God, I almost had
a couple of months,
372
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,649
and then last night,
I...
373
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,241
Well, I don't
remember much, so...
374
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,641
But anyway,
here I am.
375
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:38,326
Keep coming back.
376
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,765
It works if you work it.
377
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,047
Thank you for sharing,
Diane.
378
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,170
I'm Doug,
and I'm an alcoholic.
379
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,680
Hi, Doug.
380
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,124
One of the things I do
for a living is count.
381
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,086
I count votes.
382
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,567
Yeas, nays,
neutrals, abstaining.
383
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,249
And I'm good at it.
384
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,525
But the most important count I
do has nothing to do with work.
385
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,923
It's the number of days
since April 4, 1999.
386
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,205
As of this morning,
that's 5,185.
387
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,249
The bigger that number gets,
the more it frightens me,
388
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,164
because I know all it takes is
one drink to go back to zero.
389
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,848
Most people see
fear as a weakness.
390
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,921
It can be.
391
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,883
Sometimes for my job, I have
to put fear in other people.
392
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,690
I know that's not right.
393
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,128
But if I'm honest, like the
fourth step asks us to be,
394
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,043
I have to be ruthless,
395
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,681
because failure
is not an option.
396
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,410
The same goes
for my sobriety.
397
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,327
I have to be
ruthless with myself.
398
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,243
I have to use my fear.
399
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,049
It makes me stronger.
400
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:46,283
Like everyone in this room,
I can't control who I am.
401
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,449
But I can control the zero.
402
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:51,360
Fuck the zero.
403
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,889
Thanks for sharing.
It works if you work it.
404
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,086
Who would
like to share next?
405
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,969
- Was he at the meeting?
- He was.
406
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,320
I tried to find
him afterwards,
407
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,970
but he was gone before I
could catch up with him.
408
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,530
- Did he say anything?
- No.
409
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,126
He never shares.
He looked preoccupied.
410
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,480
You think he'll show
up at the house today?
411
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,840
I have no idea.
412
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,604
He's not answering my calls.
413
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,764
Mine neither.
Anything else I need to know?
414
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,164
I hear silence.
I don't like that sound.
415
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,969
Something came up.
I'm handling it.
416
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,445
Something serious?
417
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,011
Serious but solvable.
418
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:25,531
Do I wanna know more?
419
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,130
I don't think you do.
We'll be okay.
420
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,204
I might have to involve Nancy.
I'm hoping I won't have to.
421
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,045
But if I do, she'll have no
knowledge of anything damaging.
422
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,009
All right.
Use your best judgment.
423
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,605
Of course, sir.
424
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,370
I've gotta go.
425
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,487
Miss Gallagher?
426
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:43,203
Can the Congressman
have a moment?
427
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,406
Things are...
They're complicated.
428
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,131
I realize that,
but he truly needs you.
429
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,401
I don't know what
I could say to him.
430
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,802
I think just showing up
would do him a world of good.
431
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,405
Today is tough. The Speaker
has a full schedule...
432
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,687
Look, I already spoke to Bob,
and he said he'd be fine
433
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,245
if you took
the rest of the day off.
434
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,209
In fact, he said it'd be fine
if you wanted to take
435
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,248
- the next six months off.
- What?
436
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,962
I want you to be
deputy campaign manager.
437
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,168
You work under Nash Aarons.
438
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,965
No. I spent years being Peter's crutch.
If you just want me there...
439
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,566
Well, of course we want you there
to help, but not as a crutch.
440
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,930
Peter is a talented young man
with a lot of potential.
441
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,445
He knows this,
442
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,285
but he needs to hear it
from someone other than me.
443
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,004
Someone he truly cares about.
444
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,169
I'm sorry.
This is just a lot right now.
445
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,884
Well, you don't have
to make a decision now,
446
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,086
but at least talk to Peter.
447
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,168
I mean, there's no harm
in that, now, is there?
448
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,731
10 grand.
449
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,685
We divert it from
your campaign accounts.
450
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:26,807
We itemize it
so it looks like...
451
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,046
Wait.
452
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:29,531
You want me to pay for this?
453
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,005
Use Frank's re-election fund.
454
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,208
Commissioner, the majority of
the money that you've raised
455
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,725
has come from people
we've sent your way.
456
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,929
And you sent them because I sprung
your boy, Russo, in the first place.
457
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,361
We're even.
I don't owe you shit.
458
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,124
There's a girl in trouble.
Let's help her out.
459
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,167
Not my problem.
460
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,241
It could be.
461
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,721
We put her back
on the streets,
462
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,887
there's no telling
what she could do.
463
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,362
I'm a hell of a lot more
afraid of the U.S. Attorney
464
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:56,451
than I am of some hooker.
465
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,524
This is a very inexpensive
insurance policy.
466
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,204
I already broke
the law once, Doug.
467
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,930
There's no fucking way
I'm gonna mess
468
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,764
with campaign
finance regulations.
469
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,569
I don't even wanna
be hearing this shit.
470
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,887
Funeral for the former ambassador
of Japan tomorrow at 9:30,
471
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,287
followed by a luncheon with the
National Board of Directors
472
00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:24,249
for the Girl Scouts
of America.
473
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,049
- Mr. President.
- Jim.
474
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:27,884
After that, you've got a meet
and greet with the finalist...
475
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,440
I'll catch up with you
in a minute.
476
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,166
This way, sir.
477
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,401
Hi.
478
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,361
Hey.
479
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,081
What are you doing here?
480
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,370
The Congressman
wanted me to come over.
481
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,041
Why?
482
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,246
He wants me to work
for your campaign.
483
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,125
- Deputy manager.
- Frank!
484
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,322
He said you're
having some doubts.
485
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,291
I was just about to tell him
that I decided not to run.
486
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,489
Okay.
If you've made up your mind,
487
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,523
then I should
probably get going.
488
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,331
Did he tell you about the whole plan?
About coming clean?
489
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,121
Yeah, he did.
490
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,451
I have Kevin and Sarah
to think about.
491
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,523
- Everyone has a past.
- Not like mine.
492
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,602
You don't know half the
things I've done, Christina.
493
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,806
My kids read. Their friends read.
I can't take that chance.
494
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,284
Look, if you don't want to
run, then you shouldn't.
495
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,965
I do wanna run.
I wouldn't have
496
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,610
let it go this far
if I didn't want it.
497
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,369
Then maybe it's a good thing,
498
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,681
confronting your past,
even for your kids.
499
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,369
They're a lot stronger
than you give them credit for.
500
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,248
Look,
if Underwood, if the DNC,
501
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,483
if they all think
you can do it, then...
502
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,961
I don't care what they think.
I care what you think.
503
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,601
I think you'd be great.
504
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,850
So, she really wants this?
505
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,530
That's the impression I got.
506
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,287
What about ego? I don't need
to be dealing with a diva.
507
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,441
She's not a diva,
508
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,444
she's an award-winning journalist
with 15 years experience.
509
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,682
You told me
she treated you like shit.
510
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,086
There was some friction.
511
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,446
So why are you
going to bat for her?
512
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,885
Don't we want to work
with the best people?
513
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,760
Plus, it'd be big
for the site.
514
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,524
The Herald's
senior political writer?
515
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,762
Sure, but she's so old guard.
Everything's by the book.
516
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,966
There's no bite to it.
517
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,042
She told me about a
profile she's working on.
518
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,167
It's got serious bite.
519
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,401
What is it?
520
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,364
She can tell you herself.
You should talk to her.
521
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,284
Here's the deal.
522
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,451
My children stay
out of the limelight.
523
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,245
No photo ops, no press.
524
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,206
We wouldn't dream of it.
525
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,081
Okay.
526
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,725
Let's do this.
527
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,366
No.
528
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,447
Where you from?
529
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,086
Outside of Lynchburg.
530
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,446
Virginia?
531
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,521
Yeah.
532
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,248
- Are your parents still living there?
- No. I can't.
533
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,123
If I find a place for
you to stay for a while,
534
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,163
can I count on
you to be smart?
535
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,250
- What kind of place?
- A nice place.
536
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,730
A safe place until we can
figure out something permanent.
537
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,803
But I need to know that you won't
pull anything like this again.
538
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,971
Promise me.
539
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,087
I promise.
540
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,924
Look at me when you say it.
541
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:17,806
I promise you.
542
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,124
How you doing on money?
543
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,649
I don't have
enough for tomorrow.
544
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:42,480
What are you doing?
545
00:34:45,720 --> 00:34:47,245
I thought you wanted me to...
546
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,930
You said you were
done with that.
547
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,885
I'll be in touch.
548
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,281
If you own up to
some of the shenanigans,
549
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,011
sweep the rest under the rug,
you might have a shot.
550
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,650
How much do we
have to sweep under?
551
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,887
Well, that kid had a talent
for covering his tracks.
552
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,401
I've highlighted all the items
I think you should admit to.
553
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,448
The rest
I wouldn't mention.
554
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,843
It's a lot not to talk about.
555
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:33,484
- I need your help with something.
- Right now?
556
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,971
- Yes.
- Is it important?
557
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,610
Because you told me I could
leave early this weekend
558
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,887
to go visit my daughter
down in Virginia.
559
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,040
You have a guest room
in your house, right?
560
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,769
Well, it's Mary's
old room, but, yes.
561
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,406
I need you to put someone up for a while.
A young woman.
562
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,686
What? Who?
563
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,040
Her name is Rachel.
564
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,531
I can't tell you
anymore than that.
565
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,840
I don't understand.
Why do you need...
566
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,566
No questions, Nancy. I just
need you to do this for me.
567
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,411
I wouldn't be asking
if it weren't serious.
568
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,925
Put up for how long?
569
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,843
I don't know.
It could be a while.
570
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,685
I'm supposed to put up a complete
stranger and not ask any questions?
571
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,843
Nancy, please. You're the
only person I can trust.
572
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,410
Is something illegal going on?
573
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,131
No. She's just a girl in trouble
who needs a place to stay.
574
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:13,287
We have to be discreet.
575
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,521
Can I at least meet her first?
576
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,761
I need to know now.
577
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:18,766
Okay, I guess.
578
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,011
Thank you.
579
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,451
There's no catch,
Larry.
580
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,047
Your district gets over $20
million if the numbers hold.
581
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,285
And most of
the money is earmarked
582
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,970
for economic development,
not research.
583
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,524
That's great, but I need
more than your support.
584
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,284
I need you
to be a sponsor.
585
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,330
Fantastic, Larry.
586
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,402
Great. I'll put you down.
587
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,645
You too. Bye.
588
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,567
So that just leaves
Clayburn and Price?
589
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,971
With Jennings on the fence.
590
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,485
And I know Roger.
I'll call him.
591
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,562
And I'll track down these
other two over the weekend.
592
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,881
Really good work today, Peter.
593
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,209
Do you know
where I put my purse?
594
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,725
It's right here.
595
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,564
Did you make those? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to pry.
596
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,723
This? I've been fooling
around with it a little bit.
597
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,006
Can I see?
598
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,688
Sarah learned how to make
these birds in her art class.
599
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,768
Then she taught it to Kevin,
and they got obsessed,
600
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,729
and there were little pieces of
paper all over the apartment.
601
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,165
Do you wanna take
them for the kids?
602
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:27,691
No. I can't.
603
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,764
Please. I'll just throw
them out eventually.
604
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,002
Thank you.
They'll love them.
605
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,926
So you should bring the kids by the
house sometime so I can meet them.
606
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,367
Kevin and Frank can
play the video games.
607
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,766
He told you that?
608
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,006
I was a little surprised,
I have to admit.
609
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,447
If anybody knew he came
home every day to...
610
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,851
It's embarrassing.
611
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,365
There's worse secrets to have.
612
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,525
Yeah, there are, I suppose.
613
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,521
I'll call you Monday after I
talk to Clayburn and Price.
614
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,204
Okay, great.
Have a good weekend, Peter.
615
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,010
You too.
616
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,088
I had Linda talk to
the Vice President.
617
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,161
He'll keep his nose
out of it.
618
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,281
I appreciate that.
619
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,364
He's a good man, but this is a very
delicate moment in the campaign.
620
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,447
He starts
spreading doubts, and...
621
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,521
He's a pain in the ass.
622
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,211
We all know it. You don't
have to mince words, Frank.
623
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,447
I have to say, sir, the
Vice President has a point.
624
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,285
I'm not 100% sold on Russo.
625
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,841
Do we really wanna go
with someone this untested?
626
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,206
Frank?
627
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,686
We're grooming him, sir.
628
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,285
- When do you announce?
- Next month.
629
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,361
That's not enough time.
630
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,481
What do you see in him?
631
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,326
I was wondering the same thing.
There's not that much to see.
632
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,328
What I see is a recovering alcoholic
with a history of drug abuse.
633
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:42,924
- What?
- Excuse me, Frank?
634
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,367
But he's clean now.
Has been for a year.
635
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,647
This is a redemption story,
Mr. President.
636
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,331
This is a bright young man who's
put his life back on track.
637
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,402
Now he wants to help put
Pennsylvania back on track.
638
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,005
Drugs, Frank?
639
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,888
People love an underdog,
Linda,
640
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,247
and people love someone who
stands up after they've fallen.
641
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,888
Combine those two, it's a
very powerful narrative.
642
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,849
All of our polling
indicates this is gonna work.
643
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,730
You want us to endorse someone
with a history of substance abuse?
644
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,770
Let us get his story out there and
watch it connect with the voters.
645
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,410
All I care about
is a win, Frank.
646
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,403
And I believe Russo
is our best chance.
647
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:14,925
This is not a Hail Mary,
Mr. President,
648
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,525
this is
a well-thought-out game plan.
649
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,647
Mr. President...
650
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,200
I realize that I sometimes
think out of the box,
651
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,001
but the last time I did,
we signed an education bill.
652
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,930
All right.
We won't stand in your way.
653
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,081
But if it backfires,
Frank...
654
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,322
I'll guide Peter
every step along the way.
655
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,164
We will not
disappoint you, Mr. President.
656
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,681
Okay.
657
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,121
Thank you, sir.
658
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,125
Linda.
659
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,726
I didn't plan on telling them
so much so soon,
660
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,280
but if I didn't,
Linda would've swayed him.
661
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,840
There's no better way to
overpower a trickle of doubt
662
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,684
than with a flood
of naked truth.
663
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,001
This is why the Education Bill
was so important.
664
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,408
It bought me influence precisely
when I needed it most.
665
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,211
How long have you
been drinking?
666
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,567
A long time.
Since I was a kid.
667
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,688
How old were you
when you had your first drink?
668
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,847
Nine.
669
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,285
- Nine years old?
- Yeah.
670
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,089
My dad gave me a beer
for my ninth birthday.
671
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,845
When did you first
start using drugs?
672
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,844
I won't go into
too many specifics
673
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,366
other than to say
I had a few minor brushes
674
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,290
with marijuana and cocaine
in the past but not recently,
675
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,486
and only a handful of times.
676
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,366
No other drugs
besides marijuana and cocaine?
677
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,487
No.
678
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,806
Under what circumstances?
679
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,804
Occasional social gatherings.
That's the most I'll say.
680
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,689
Ever while you were
in public office?
681
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,001
No. Never. My chief
problem was alcohol.
682
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:42,122
And you've been
sober how long now?
683
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,486
A little over a year.
684
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,449
And what made you
want to get sober?
685
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,566
Two things.
686
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,250
My children, whom I love more
than anything else in the world,
687
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,730
and my renewed faith in God.
688
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,401
Zoe.
689
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:15,881
Lucas.
690
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,764
I was just in the neighborhood,
and I thought...
691
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,685
No. That's a lie. I was at
the bar around the corner.
692
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,723
The one with the...
693
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,730
And I remembered that time that
I dropped you off after work.
694
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,770
I knew it was...
695
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,251
This block.
696
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,723
And I buzzed,
and then I waited...
697
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:42,926
You're wasted.
698
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,121
I'm pretty wasted.
699
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,683
Do you wanna know a deep,
dark secret?
700
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,846
Now we don't
work together...
701
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,691
Anymore.
702
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:38,841
Lucas.
703
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,689
I'm really flattered.
704
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,369
But I'm just not in a place
705
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,728
where I'm even thinking
romantically right now.
706
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,084
I'm sorry.
707
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,321
I...
708
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,041
Yeah.
709
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,686
Hey, hey!
710
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,521
You want me to
pull up now, sir?
711
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:02,891
I still have my key.
712
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,721
I'll be in the kitchen
if you need anything.
713
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,165
Thank you.
714
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,848
Hey, I got us wine, but I can't
find a corkscrew anywhere.
715
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,445
Give it to me.
716
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,925
I need a pen.
717
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,087
The pen
the President gave you?
718
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,161
That'll work.
719
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,445
Did you talk to Ms. Skorsky?
720
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,321
I did.
She said it was intense.
721
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,001
I think Carly's gonna offer
her a job at Slugline.
722
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,320
Was that your doing?
723
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:57,806
Janine expressed interest.
724
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,249
I took the next step.
725
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,125
Well done. Always
good to be owed favors.
726
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,682
I was wondering. Do you
ever think about my age?
727
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,125
No. Does my age bother you?
728
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,282
You must have other lovers,
men that are younger than me.
729
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,129
- No.
- Not that I would mind.
730
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,202
I am married,
after all.
731
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,046
I don't have time
for other lovers.
732
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,121
Hmm.
733
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:28,241
Shit.
734
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:30,722
It's turned.
Give me that.
735
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,207
You could've
just stepped on it.
736
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,321
I have asked the super to get
an exterminator in here,
737
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,526
and he won't do it.
738
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,001
So any time I see a cockroach,
or a spider, or whatever,
739
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,560
I try and trap it, and then
I leave it by his door.
740
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,644
You really ought to get your parents
to let you borrow some money.
741
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:03,563
Then you wouldn't have to
live in the third world.
742
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,007
I would never
take money from them.
743
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,367
Because they don't have it,
or because you don't want it?
744
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,851
Because I don't want it.
745
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:12,766
It's Father's Day, you know.
746
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:14,407
It is?
747
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,891
You should call your father.
748
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,926
I'll call him tomorrow.
749
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,162
Tomorrow you'll be the daughter
that forgot Father's Day
750
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:21,480
instead of
the one who remembered.
751
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:24,449
Go ahead.
Call him.
752
00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:38,041
Hey, Dad.
Sorry it's so late.
753
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,566
'Cause you weren't home
the last time I called her.
754
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:45,122
There's so little she'll ever
reveal to me or I to her.
755
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:47,368
I bet her father
knows even less.
756
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,205
I'm sure she's speaking
half an octave higher.
757
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,521
Same voice she had
when she was 16.
758
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,610
Telling him all about her new
job, how much she misses him,
759
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,808
and sorry she didn't
send a card.
760
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,645
Telling him everything
but the truth.
761
00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:04,042
Just like she wouldn't tell me
about that young man downstairs.
762
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,645
I'm calling now,
all right?
763
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:07,324
You're gonna make
me feel bad about it.
764
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,889
It was the best thing
that could've happened.
765
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,121
I didn't fit in there.
766
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,325
I've been called worse, Dad.
767
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,722
There's a value
in having secrets.
768
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,724
Creatures like myself,
like Claire, like Zoe,
769
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,326
we wouldn't be
ourselves without them.
770
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,325
But Peter Russo, on the other hand,
he's trapped by his secrets.
771
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,368
What I'm trying to do
is give him the opportunity
772
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:29,845
to set himself free.
773
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,320
I don't know.
774
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:35,766
I don't know yet.
775
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,845
After all, we are nothing more or
less than what we choose to reveal.
776
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,161
What I am to Claire is
not what I am to Zoe,
777
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:45,050
just as Zoe is not to me
what she is to her father.
778
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,969
Probably Thanksgiving.
779
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,608
'Cause I don't think I can
make it back before then.
780
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:10,881
Okay. I'll try.
781
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,001
I said I'll try.
782
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,725
For Christmas?
783
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:20,606
No.
784
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:23,841
Uh-uh.
785
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,167
No. I'm not seeing
anyone right now.
786
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,210
I don't feel like it.
787
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,245
Because I'm not
interested in that.
788
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,846
I would tell you, Dad.
789
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:43,601
Uh-huh.
790
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,121
Yeah.
791
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:49,521
Okay.
792
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,131
Don't be worried about me.
I'm fine.
793
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,127
Yeah.
794
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,082
Dad, I'm in...
795
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,811
I'm in a really
great place right now.
796
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,445
I'm gonna try.
797
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:19,531
I'm gonna try to come,
okay?
798
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,329
Happy Father's Day.
799
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,963
Aren't you gonna
wish me a happy Father's Day?
800
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,250
You don't have any children.
801
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,246
Don't I?
802
00:50:53,271 --> 00:50:59,271
