00:00:21,815 > 00:00:23,732
Hey! What are you doing?
2
00:00:28,154 > 00:00:30,197
Jesus.
Did you get a good look?
3
00:00:30,198 > 00:00:32,240
Blue Toyota camry.
That's all I saw.
4
00:00:32,241 > 00:00:33,492
That's the Whartons' dog.
5
00:00:33,493 > 00:00:35,243
Aw, man.
6
00:00:35,244 > 00:00:37,955
He's not going to make it.
Go see if they're home.
7
00:00:45,546 > 00:00:49,800
Shh. Shh.
8
00:00:49,801 > 00:00:52,135
It's okay.
9
00:00:54,555 > 00:00:56,849
There are two kinds of pain...
10
00:00:56,850 > 00:00:59,059
The sort of pain that makes you strong,
11
00:00:59,060 > 00:01:01,020
or useless pain,
12
00:01:01,021 > 00:01:04,147
the sort of pain that's only suffering.
13
00:01:04,148 > 00:01:07,401
I have no patience for useless things.
14
00:01:09,070 > 00:01:12,072
Moments like this require
someone who will act,
15
00:01:12,073 > 00:01:15,242
who will do the unpleasant thing,
16
00:01:15,243 > 00:01:17,745
the necessary thing.
17
00:01:22,332 > 00:01:23,751
There.
18
00:01:23,752 > 00:01:25,544
No more pain.
19
00:01:27,504 > 00:01:30,382
It was a hitandrun.
I'm awfully sorry.
20
00:01:30,383 > 00:01:32,509
He must have jumped
over the fence again.
21
00:01:32,510 > 00:01:34,511
Look, Steve is going to file
the report on the car,
22
00:01:34,512 > 00:01:36,179
and he'll put his people on it.
23
00:01:36,180 > 00:01:38,097
We'll track them down.
24
00:01:57,868 > 00:02:00,829
You look stunning. Shall we?
25
00:02:00,830 > 00:02:03,331
Three, two, one...
26
00:02:03,332 > 00:02:05,834
Happy new year!
27
00:02:12,049 > 00:02:14,593
Oh. Presidentelect
Garrett Walker.
28
00:02:14,594 > 00:02:16,136
Do I like him? No.
29
00:02:16,137 > 00:02:17,972
Do I believe in him?
That's beside the point.
30
00:02:17,973 > 00:02:20,181
Any politician
that gets 70 million votes
31
00:02:20,182 > 00:02:22,392
has tapped into something
larger than himself...
32
00:02:22,393 > 00:02:24,645
Larger than even me,
as much as I hate to admit it.
33
00:02:24,646 > 00:02:27,606
And look at that winning smile,
those trusting eyes.
34
00:02:27,607 > 00:02:30,609
I latched onto him early on
and made myself vital.
35
00:02:30,610 > 00:02:32,527
After 22 years in congress,
36
00:02:32,528 > 00:02:34,989
I can smell which way
the wind is blowing.
37
00:02:34,990 > 00:02:36,490
Oh, Jim Matthews,
38
00:02:36,491 > 00:02:38,200
his right honorable
vicepresident.
39
00:02:38,201 > 00:02:39,952
Former governor of Pennsylvania.
40
00:02:39,953 > 00:02:42,329
He did his duty in delivering
the keystone state,
41
00:02:42,330 > 00:02:43,831
bless his heart,
42
00:02:43,832 > 00:02:45,666
and now they're about
to put him out to pasture.
43
00:02:45,667 > 00:02:47,709
But he looks happy enough, doesn't he?
44
00:02:47,710 > 00:02:51,839
For some, it's simply
the size of the chair.
45
00:02:51,840 > 00:02:53,590
Huh.
46
00:02:53,591 > 00:02:55,926
Linda vasquez, Walker's chief of staff.
47
00:02:55,927 > 00:02:57,344
I got her hired.
48
00:02:57,345 > 00:02:59,596
She's a woman, check,
and a latina, check,
49
00:02:59,597 > 00:03:01,140
but more important than that,
50
00:03:01,141 > 00:03:03,182
she's as tough
as a twodollar steak.
51
00:03:03,183 > 00:03:04,726
Check, check, check.
52
00:03:04,727 > 00:03:06,269
When it comes to the white house,
53
00:03:06,270 > 00:03:08,522
you not only need the keys
in your back pocket,
54
00:03:08,523 > 00:03:10,065
you need the gatekeeper.
55
00:03:10,066 > 00:03:12,734
As for me, I'm just
a lowly house majority whip.
56
00:03:12,735 > 00:03:14,569
I keep things moving in a congress
57
00:03:14,570 > 00:03:16,780
choked by pettiness and lassitude.
58
00:03:16,781 > 00:03:19,950
My job is to clear the pipes
and keep the sludge moving.
59
00:03:19,951 > 00:03:21,910
But I won't have to be
a plumber much longer.
60
00:03:21,911 > 00:03:24,371
I've done my time.
I backed the right man.
61
00:03:25,414 > 00:03:27,332
Happy new year!
62
00:03:27,333 > 00:03:29,126
Give and take.
63
00:03:29,127 > 00:03:31,210
Welcome to Washington.
64
00:05:09,476 > 00:05:11,478
You need a haircut.
65
00:05:11,479 > 00:05:12,896
You think?
66
00:05:12,897 > 00:05:14,856
A little trim.
67
00:05:16,108 > 00:05:17,776
What are you going to wear?
68
00:05:17,777 > 00:05:20,028
You mean for the meeting?
For the announcement.
69
00:05:20,029 > 00:05:22,990
Gonna wear my Navy blue,
the one with the pinstripes.
70
00:05:22,991 > 00:05:26,160
Good. You look handsome
in that suit.
71
00:05:27,410 > 00:05:28,996
I don't know if they'll announce it
72
00:05:28,997 > 00:05:30,538
before your board meeting.
73
00:05:30,539 > 00:05:32,207
Well, as long as I can say
the donation is coming.
74
00:05:32,208 > 00:05:33,750
As soon as it's official,
75
00:05:33,751 > 00:05:36,086
Sancorp will write you a check.
76
00:05:38,922 > 00:05:42,092
This is going to be a big year for us.
77
00:05:56,148 > 00:05:58,275
You know, the meeting's on Tuesday.
78
00:06:00,610 > 00:06:02,279
You're gonna wanna
start with something...
79
00:06:02,280 > 00:06:03,864
That's what I'm hearing.
80
00:06:03,865 > 00:06:05,406
Community of what?
81
00:06:05,407 > 00:06:07,701
Or I could say immigration,
banking, or education,
82
00:06:07,702 > 00:06:10,037
but none of my regular sources
can confirm that.
83
00:06:10,038 > 00:06:11,830
Because they don't know,
84
00:06:11,831 > 00:06:13,540
or because they're not talking?
85
00:06:13,541 > 00:06:15,000
Because they don't know.
86
00:06:15,001 > 00:06:17,252
Keep at it. Get me something.
87
00:06:17,253 > 00:06:20,255
Sorry.
Sorry, Mr. Hammerschmidt.
88
00:06:20,256 > 00:06:22,549
Zoe.
89
00:06:22,550 > 00:06:24,885
Barnes.
Right.
90
00:06:27,846 > 00:06:30,182
Did it take him a year
to remember your name?
91
00:06:30,183 > 00:06:31,183
Longer.
92
00:06:31,184 > 00:06:33,392
Good morning, Lucas.
93
00:06:33,393 > 00:06:34,811
What can I do for you, Zoe?
94
00:06:37,438 > 00:06:39,649
I am sick of the Fairfax county council.
95
00:06:39,650 > 00:06:41,235
You tell me every day.
96
00:06:41,236 > 00:06:43,028
Move me online. My own blog...
97
00:06:43,029 > 00:06:45,530
First person, subjective, 500 words.
98
00:06:45,531 > 00:06:47,741
Not going to happen.
I'll go underground.
99
00:06:47,742 > 00:06:49,243
Back rooms. The urinals.
100
00:06:49,244 > 00:06:51,078
I'll win over staff members on the hill.
101
00:06:51,079 > 00:06:53,163
They need a place to vent.
A gossip column.
102
00:06:53,164 > 00:06:55,707
No. We lift the veil,
what's really going on.
103
00:06:55,708 > 00:06:57,584
This is the Washington herald, Zoe.
104
00:06:57,585 > 00:06:59,378
It's not TMZ.
105
00:06:59,379 > 00:07:00,712
Do you know how many people watch TMZ?
106
00:07:00,713 > 00:07:02,089
I couldn't care less.
107
00:07:02,090 > 00:07:03,882
Which is why print journalism is dying.
108
00:07:03,883 > 00:07:06,051
Then it'll die with dignity,
at least at this paper.
109
00:07:06,052 > 00:07:09,096
You are stuck in the 20th century, Lucas.
You lack imagination.
110
00:07:09,097 > 00:07:10,389
Maybe so, but right now,
111
00:07:10,390 > 00:07:12,349
I don't need imagination.
I need copy.
112
00:07:12,350 > 00:07:14,226
Your nights and weekends are yours.
113
00:07:14,227 > 00:07:15,769
I applaud whatever you want to do,
114
00:07:15,770 > 00:07:17,478
as long as it's not on my time.
115
00:07:17,479 > 00:07:19,647
You're telling me to get back to work.
I am.
116
00:07:19,648 > 00:07:22,525
What you're really telling me
is to fuck off.
117
00:07:22,526 > 00:07:24,152
I'm telling you both.
118
00:07:27,155 > 00:07:31,743
It's Mr. Chapman already
from province trust.
119
00:07:36,873 > 00:07:38,917
Hold my calls, Christina.
120
00:07:40,627 > 00:07:44,131
Henry. It's good to see you.
121
00:07:44,132 > 00:07:46,216
How long are you in town for?
Just today.
122
00:07:46,217 > 00:07:48,427
Well, you gotta come back down
for the inauguration.
123
00:07:48,428 > 00:07:50,470
I can hook you up.
124
00:07:50,471 > 00:07:52,680
How about you hook me up with the zoning
laws you promised to get changed?
125
00:07:52,681 > 00:07:54,682
We got 12 million sitting in escrow
126
00:07:54,683 > 00:07:56,559
for an empty lot we can't build on.
127
00:07:56,560 > 00:07:58,270
I know, but you gotta understand,
128
00:07:58,271 > 00:07:59,520
it's a local municipal issue.
129
00:07:59,521 > 00:08:01,522
I can't just pick up the phone...
130
00:08:01,523 > 00:08:04,025
You can't? Because that's not
what you led us to believe
131
00:08:04,026 > 00:08:06,153
when you begged
for 50 grand in donations.
132
00:08:06,154 > 00:08:08,947
Right. I...
133
00:08:08,948 > 00:08:10,157
One second.
134
00:08:10,158 > 00:08:11,574
Christina, I said no calls,
135
00:08:11,575 > 00:08:13,785
not while I'm meeting
with Mr. Chapman.
136
00:08:15,536 > 00:08:17,831
The presidentelect?
137
00:08:19,166 > 00:08:20,792
I... do you mind?
138
00:08:20,793 > 00:08:22,043
No. Go ahead, please.
139
00:08:22,044 > 00:08:23,878
Uh, put him through, Christina.
140
00:08:23,879 > 00:08:25,380
Ahem.
141
00:08:27,799 > 00:08:29,717
Mr. presidentelect?
142
00:08:32,637 > 00:08:34,931
Thank you.
Uh, yes, we were, uh...
143
00:08:34,932 > 00:08:37,558
We were pleased to win by double digits.
144
00:08:38,601 > 00:08:40,354
Absolutely. Anything you need.
145
00:08:40,355 > 00:08:43,648
I need you to put your
long, wet, talented tongue
146
00:08:43,649 > 00:08:45,233
between my thighs
147
00:08:45,234 > 00:08:47,861
and make me squeal like Monica Lewin...
148
00:08:49,070 > 00:08:51,865
Me, too. Me, too.
149
00:08:52,782 > 00:08:54,742
Okay. Thank you, sir.
150
00:08:55,910 > 00:08:58,872
I'm so sorry.
Uh, where were we?
151
00:09:00,165 > 00:09:02,417
Walker...
152
00:09:02,418 > 00:09:04,044
What's he like?
153
00:09:17,182 > 00:09:19,184
Mr. presidentelect
running late?
154
00:09:19,185 > 00:09:21,936
No, he couldn't make it.
I'll brief him, though.
155
00:09:23,146 > 00:09:25,606
Okay. This is the memo
I've drafted
156
00:09:25,607 > 00:09:27,734
on our middle east policy
we've been developing.
157
00:09:27,735 > 00:09:29,652
Now, I want to borrow from Reagan.
158
00:09:29,653 > 00:09:32,364
I'd like to coin the phrase
"trickledown diplomacy."
159
00:09:32,365 > 00:09:35,409
That way...
Frank, I'm going to stop you there.
160
00:09:35,410 > 00:09:38,286
We are not nominating you
for secretary of state.
161
00:09:38,287 > 00:09:40,163
I know he made you a promise,
162
00:09:40,164 > 00:09:41,915
but circumstances have changed.
163
00:09:41,916 > 00:09:43,542
The nature of promises, Linda,
164
00:09:43,543 > 00:09:46,836
is that they remain immune
to changing circumstances.
165
00:09:46,837 > 00:09:49,172
Garrett has thought long
and hard about this,
166
00:09:49,173 > 00:09:52,050
and he's decided we need you
to stay in congress.
167
00:09:52,051 > 00:09:54,761
When was this decision made,
168
00:09:54,762 > 00:09:57,138
and why wasn't I part
of the conversation?
169
00:09:57,139 > 00:09:58,723
I'm sorry, Frank.
If it had been up to me,
170
00:09:58,724 > 00:10:00,308
I wouldn't have waited
this long to tell you.
171
00:10:00,309 > 00:10:02,602
So, you knew you were going to do this.
172
00:10:02,603 > 00:10:04,479
It has been an evolving discussion.
173
00:10:04,480 > 00:10:07,566
It's a chickenshit move.
174
00:10:07,567 > 00:10:08,942
Frank...
I was vetted.
175
00:10:08,943 > 00:10:10,360
Was that a ruse?
No.
176
00:10:10,361 > 00:10:11,652
Let's be absolutely clear.
177
00:10:11,653 > 00:10:13,654
You wouldn't have won without me.
178
00:10:13,655 > 00:10:15,407
You're right, but now we have to lead,
179
00:10:15,408 > 00:10:17,951
and that means making tough choices.
180
00:10:17,952 > 00:10:20,828
As you know, education
is a top priority for us,
181
00:10:20,829 > 00:10:22,539
a complete federal overhaul.
182
00:10:22,540 > 00:10:24,958
But it's not just education.
Frank, congress is split.
183
00:10:24,959 > 00:10:29,337
We need you there more than we
need you in the state department.
184
00:10:29,338 > 00:10:31,548
I got you hired, Linda.
185
00:10:33,007 > 00:10:34,175
I know.
186
00:10:34,176 > 00:10:35,552
Donations, endorsements.
187
00:10:35,553 > 00:10:37,137
I wrote the campaign's
188
00:10:37,138 > 00:10:39,139
entire foreign policy platform.
189
00:10:39,140 > 00:10:41,600
I bring years of
foreign affairs committee...
190
00:10:41,601 > 00:10:43,935
Frank, please.
191
00:10:46,480 > 00:10:48,815
I want to speak to Walker personally.
192
00:10:48,816 > 00:10:51,025
The decision is made.
193
00:10:54,821 > 00:10:57,449
We need you, Frank.
194
00:10:57,450 > 00:10:59,826
Will you stand beside us or not?
195
00:11:09,252 > 00:11:11,588
Of course. If that's
what the president wants.
196
00:11:11,589 > 00:11:14,924
I'm very glad to hear that.
197
00:11:16,176 > 00:11:18,345
I'm curious.
198
00:11:18,346 > 00:11:20,180
If not me, then who?
199
00:11:22,056 > 00:11:23,682
Michael kern.
200
00:11:23,683 > 00:11:25,393
Michael kern?
201
00:11:26,769 > 00:11:28,563
Well...
202
00:11:28,564 > 00:11:31,107
That is an excellent choice.
203
00:11:34,777 > 00:11:36,321
Can you make it more clear?
204
00:11:36,322 > 00:11:38,114
I just want to make sure
it doesn't look like
205
00:11:38,115 > 00:11:39,740
we're neglecting our domestic...
206
00:11:39,741 > 00:11:41,159
No. No, no, no.
I'm going to say
207
00:11:41,160 > 00:11:42,785
that we're expanding our mission.
208
00:11:42,786 > 00:11:44,579
Okay.
209
00:11:44,580 > 00:11:46,998
And we're bringing on
a new organization to help us.
210
00:11:46,999 > 00:11:48,583
Do you know which one yet?
211
00:11:48,584 > 00:11:50,835
I'm still looking into
a few options, but, um,
212
00:11:50,836 > 00:11:52,295
tell me, what did we agree on,
213
00:11:52,296 > 00:11:54,881
that we could hire
how many new people? Six?
214
00:11:54,882 > 00:11:56,383
Six, maybe seven.
Hmm?
215
00:11:56,384 > 00:11:58,218
We'll have enough.
216
00:11:58,219 > 00:11:59,927
Ooh, it's exciting, huh?
217
00:11:59,928 > 00:12:03,056
This, uh, new direction we're heading.
218
00:12:03,057 > 00:12:05,975
I just don't know where we're
going to fit all the people.
219
00:12:05,976 > 00:12:08,019
Well, do you think we have
to look into additional space?
220
00:12:08,020 > 00:12:09,770
No. No, no, no.
I'll find a way.
221
00:12:09,771 > 00:12:11,439
Okay, so make the changes
to the PowerPoint,
222
00:12:11,440 > 00:12:13,149
and let's meet again at 2:30.
223
00:12:13,150 > 00:12:14,484
Okay.
224
00:12:22,201 > 00:12:24,369
Leave a message
for Frank Underwood.
225
00:12:25,621 > 00:12:27,121
It's me.
226
00:12:27,122 > 00:12:29,165
I feel like an idiot
leaving messages like this.
227
00:12:29,166 > 00:12:30,791
Call me back.
228
00:12:42,679 > 00:12:43,804
What is it, Zoe?
229
00:12:43,805 > 00:12:45,806
Um...
230
00:12:45,807 > 00:12:47,934
I know you're going to have your
hands full at the white house,
231
00:12:47,935 > 00:12:51,145
so if you need someone
to do research or...
232
00:12:51,146 > 00:12:52,480
Or print out background...
233
00:12:52,481 > 00:12:54,148
I think I'll be fine.
234
00:12:54,149 > 00:12:56,735
Well, if things get hectic
and you need any help...
235
00:12:56,736 > 00:13:00,947
So you can blog about rubbing
shoulders with the big boys?
236
00:13:03,908 > 00:13:05,368
What did Lucas tell you?
237
00:13:05,369 > 00:13:07,328
Look, no offense, Zoe,
but I don't have time
238
00:13:07,329 > 00:13:09,581
to be anyone's training wheels.
239
00:13:09,582 > 00:13:11,958
I just thought...
240
00:13:11,959 > 00:13:14,586
No, I was actually offering
to lend a hand.
241
00:13:14,587 > 00:13:16,337
That's it.
Got it.
242
00:13:16,338 > 00:13:18,047
Thanks.
243
00:13:58,045 > 00:13:59,922
Claire.
You didn't call.
244
00:13:59,923 > 00:14:03,301
I was...
You didn't call me, Francis.
245
00:14:03,302 > 00:14:05,762
Nine hours.
You don't not call me,
246
00:14:05,763 > 00:14:07,430
not when it's this big.
247
00:14:07,431 > 00:14:08,765
You're right.
248
00:14:08,766 > 00:14:11,810
When have we ever avoided each other?
249
00:14:13,770 > 00:14:15,772
I wanted the solution first.
250
00:14:15,773 > 00:14:17,190
Do you have one?
251
00:14:17,191 > 00:14:19,066
Not yet.
252
00:14:19,067 > 00:14:21,110
This affects me, too, Francis.
253
00:14:21,111 > 00:14:24,071
And it's not the money I'm upset about.
254
00:14:24,072 > 00:14:26,741
It's that we do things together.
255
00:14:26,742 > 00:14:29,410
When you don't involve me,
we're in freefall.
256
00:14:29,411 > 00:14:32,163
I should've called you, and I didn't.
257
00:14:32,164 > 00:14:33,581
What happened?
258
00:14:34,999 > 00:14:37,377
She says they needed
to keep me in congress.
259
00:14:37,378 > 00:14:38,586
Linda said that?
260
00:14:38,587 > 00:14:39,796
Walker wasn't even there.
261
00:14:39,797 > 00:14:41,381
That's what really gets me.
262
00:14:41,382 > 00:14:43,216
He didn't have the courage
to look me in the eye.
263
00:14:43,217 > 00:14:44,967
I knew you shouldn't trust that woman.
264
00:14:44,968 > 00:14:46,720
I didn't. I don't.
I don't trust anyone.
265
00:14:46,721 > 00:14:48,888
Then how could you not see this coming?
266
00:14:50,432 > 00:14:52,559
I never thought they were capable.
267
00:14:52,560 > 00:14:55,436
You don't usually
underestimate people, Francis.
268
00:14:55,437 > 00:14:56,730
I know.
269
00:14:58,231 > 00:15:00,817
Hubris. Ambition.
270
00:15:00,818 > 00:15:02,026
You should be angry.
271
00:15:02,027 > 00:15:03,319
I'm livid.
272
00:15:03,320 > 00:15:05,238
Then where is that?
I don't see it.
273
00:15:05,239 > 00:15:07,532
What do you want me to do? Scream and yell?
Throw a tantrum?
274
00:15:07,533 > 00:15:10,076
I want more than I'm seeing
. You're better than this, Francis.
275
00:15:10,077 > 00:15:13,246
Well, I'm sorry, Claire.
I am sorry.
276
00:15:13,247 > 00:15:15,039
No, that I won't accept.
277
00:15:15,040 > 00:15:17,792
What?
Apologies.
278
00:15:20,044 > 00:15:22,505
My husband doesn't apologize,
279
00:15:22,506 > 00:15:24,632
even to me.
280
00:17:10,363 > 00:17:11,990
How long you been up?
281
00:17:11,991 > 00:17:13,700
Hours.
282
00:17:16,160 > 00:17:18,371
I know what I have to do.
283
00:17:18,372 > 00:17:19,998
Good.
284
00:17:19,999 > 00:17:22,750
We'll have a lot of nights like this...
285
00:17:22,751 > 00:17:26,504
Making plans, very little sleep.
286
00:17:26,505 > 00:17:28,798
I expected that.
287
00:17:28,799 > 00:17:31,342
It doesn't worry me.
288
00:17:40,309 > 00:17:42,645
I'd better get to work.
289
00:17:42,646 > 00:17:46,190
I laid a suit out for you upstairs.
290
00:17:46,191 > 00:17:48,526
The Navyblue one.
291
00:17:54,198 > 00:17:55,700
I love that woman.
292
00:17:55,701 > 00:17:57,911
I love her more than sharks love blood.
293
00:18:01,247 > 00:18:03,123
Presidentelect
Garrett Walker has just...
294
00:18:03,124 > 00:18:05,001
Why do you think
they went with him?
295
00:18:05,002 > 00:18:07,712
We're too good. They can't
afford to lose us in congress.
296
00:18:07,713 > 00:18:09,589
He's had work done.
297
00:18:09,590 > 00:18:11,257
Chin tuck probably.
298
00:18:11,258 > 00:18:12,425
Definitely dyes his hair.
299
00:18:14,219 > 00:18:15,344
Do we say anything?
300
00:18:15,345 > 00:18:16,763
No. God, no.
301
00:18:16,764 > 00:18:18,556
Not unless he brings it up.
302
00:18:18,557 > 00:18:20,182
Nancy!
303
00:18:20,183 > 00:18:21,684
9:20...
Cancel everything.
304
00:18:21,685 > 00:18:23,895
Stamper, you're with me.
305
00:18:23,896 > 00:18:25,521
Now, look...
306
00:18:26,940 > 00:18:29,483
They've done us
a great favor, Doug.
307
00:18:29,484 > 00:18:32,070
We are no longer bound by allegiances.
308
00:18:32,071 > 00:18:33,780
We serve no one.
309
00:18:33,781 > 00:18:36,032
We live by one rule and one rule only...
310
00:18:36,033 > 00:18:38,034
Never again will we allow ourselves
311
00:18:38,035 > 00:18:40,286
to be put in such a position.
312
00:18:40,287 > 00:18:41,662
Walker and vasquez.
313
00:18:41,663 > 00:18:44,791
All of them.
I hold them all accountable.
314
00:18:44,792 > 00:18:47,251
Want retribution?
No. No.
315
00:18:47,252 > 00:18:49,837
It's more than that.
316
00:18:49,838 > 00:18:52,256
Take a step back.
317
00:18:52,257 > 00:18:53,967
Look at the bigger picture.
318
00:18:53,968 > 00:18:56,761
I think I see what you're getting at.
319
00:18:56,762 > 00:18:58,096
Kern first?
320
00:18:58,097 > 00:19:00,222
That's how you devour a whale, Doug...
321
00:19:00,223 > 00:19:01,933
One bite at a time.
322
00:19:01,934 > 00:19:04,184
Who would you want
for secretary of state?
323
00:19:04,185 > 00:19:05,812
Give me a list of choices.
324
00:19:05,813 > 00:19:09,023
And however we do this,
we'll also need a buffer.
325
00:19:09,024 > 00:19:10,441
You mean an errand boy.
326
00:19:10,442 > 00:19:12,902
Yes, someone we control completely.
327
00:19:14,153 > 00:19:15,905
I'll keep my ear to the ground.
328
00:19:15,906 > 00:19:17,364
Good.
329
00:19:17,365 > 00:19:20,284
I haven't eaten since yesterday.
330
00:19:38,511 > 00:19:40,346
I almost pity him.
331
00:19:40,347 > 00:19:42,389
He didn't choose
to be put on my platter.
332
00:19:42,390 > 00:19:44,725
When I carve him up
and toss him to the dogs,
333
00:19:44,726 > 00:19:48,771
only then will he confront that
brutal, inescapable truth...
334
00:19:48,772 > 00:19:50,690
"My God.
335
00:19:50,691 > 00:19:54,276
All I ever amounted to
was chitlins."
336
00:19:54,277 > 00:19:57,155
And he that shall humble himself
337
00:19:57,156 > 00:20:00,074
shall be exalted.
338
00:20:01,450 > 00:20:05,412
Matthew, chapter 23, verse 12.
339
00:20:05,413 > 00:20:08,791
Thanks be to God.
340
00:20:08,792 > 00:20:10,626
I'd like to speak today
341
00:20:10,627 > 00:20:14,547
on the subject of humility.
342
00:20:14,548 > 00:20:17,633
A lot of you have
just won reelection.
343
00:20:17,634 > 00:20:20,427
If you hadn't,
you might not be sitting here.
344
00:20:21,889 > 00:20:24,515
And, of course,
we should enjoy our success
345
00:20:24,516 > 00:20:26,225
and be grateful for it,
346
00:20:26,226 > 00:20:31,189
but never let your gratitude
sour into pride.
347
00:20:31,190 > 00:20:33,607
You'll have many challenges ahead
348
00:20:33,608 > 00:20:35,401
over the next couple of years,
349
00:20:35,402 > 00:20:38,487
and a person's character
isn't determined
350
00:20:38,488 > 00:20:41,281
by how he or she enjoys victory
351
00:20:41,282 > 00:20:46,412
but rather how he or she endures defeat.
352
00:20:46,413 > 00:20:50,499
Nothing can help us endure dark times
353
00:20:50,500 > 00:20:53,669
better than our faith.
354
00:20:53,670 > 00:20:55,046
Claire.
355
00:20:55,047 > 00:20:56,338
Oh, hello, felicity.
356
00:20:56,339 > 00:20:58,174
How are you?
Good. How are you?
357
00:20:58,175 > 00:21:00,760
Good. I'm sorry.
It's just not right.
358
00:21:00,761 > 00:21:02,469
Oh.
359
00:21:02,470 > 00:21:04,430
Charles and I can't understand
what Walker was thinking.
360
00:21:04,431 > 00:21:07,391
Oh, that's very sweet of you,
but really between you and me,
361
00:21:07,392 > 00:21:09,769
I think Francis is relieved.
362
00:21:09,770 > 00:21:13,231
He just feels much more
at home in congress.
363
00:21:13,232 > 00:21:15,399
I would've bet a million dollars
they were gonna pick you.
364
00:21:15,400 > 00:21:18,736
Well, it's a good thing you have
a million dollars to spare.
365
00:21:18,737 > 00:21:21,239
But you are, by far and away,
the only choice.
366
00:21:21,240 > 00:21:23,032
I appreciate you saying that.
367
00:21:23,033 > 00:21:26,035
I mean, Michael? Come on. He's
got half the experience...
368
00:21:26,036 > 00:21:28,788
Garrett is a smart man.
He knows what he's doing.
369
00:21:28,789 > 00:21:31,916
You're a bigger man than I, Frank.
370
00:22:02,280 > 00:22:05,950
You, uh... you want
some of that wine?
371
00:22:06,909 > 00:22:09,369
Yes, definitely.
372
00:22:15,001 > 00:22:17,419
Man, this is some good shit.
Where'd you get it?
373
00:22:17,420 > 00:22:21,632
Uh, I kind of lifted it
from the V.I.P. room
374
00:22:21,633 > 00:22:23,592
of the speaker's holiday party.
375
00:22:23,593 > 00:22:27,221
I'm impressed.
Bordeaux, 20 years old.
376
00:22:27,222 > 00:22:29,556
Oh, it seemed about right for you.
377
00:22:29,557 > 00:22:32,018
Ouch. Why would you
say that to me?
378
00:22:32,019 > 00:22:34,520
I'm almost 30. That's practically
ancient in your book.
379
00:22:34,521 > 00:22:36,689
I don't discriminate
when it comes to age.
380
00:22:36,690 > 00:22:38,649
Really? When was the last time
you hired a 40yearold staffer?
381
00:22:38,650 > 00:22:40,526
Doesn't mean I wouldn't.
382
00:22:40,527 > 00:22:42,028
Well, as long as she's good in the sack.
383
00:22:42,029 > 00:22:44,864
Come on.
Well, it's true, isn't it?
384
00:22:44,865 > 00:22:47,158
Where is this coming from?
385
00:22:48,826 > 00:22:51,245
You're not going to just toss me aside
386
00:22:51,246 > 00:22:53,497
for some slut straight out of vassar.
387
00:22:53,498 > 00:22:55,791
So, we're having that conversation.
388
00:22:55,792 > 00:22:57,375
It's been six months.
389
00:22:57,376 > 00:22:58,961
It's not a little office fling anymore.
390
00:22:58,962 > 00:23:02,131
You want me to say
those three magic words,
391
00:23:02,132 > 00:23:04,091
one of which starts
with an "L."
392
00:23:04,092 > 00:23:06,135
Mmmm. No.
Okay.
393
00:23:06,136 > 00:23:07,845
I'll say 'em.
394
00:23:07,846 > 00:23:10,430
Christina Gallagher...
395
00:23:11,349 > 00:23:13,309
Lick my balls.
396
00:23:13,310 > 00:23:15,519
Oh, my... you bastard.
397
00:23:15,520 > 00:23:18,064
Hey.
I love you.
398
00:23:18,065 > 00:23:20,900
I love you, Christina.
399
00:23:20,901 > 00:23:22,985
I love you.
400
00:23:30,076 > 00:23:31,911
Now will you lick my balls?
401
00:23:44,257 > 00:23:45,674
So, I'm curious.
402
00:23:45,675 > 00:23:48,719
Are we patrons, benefactors, or lepers?
403
00:23:48,720 > 00:23:52,139
Believe it or not, we're angels.
404
00:23:57,395 > 00:23:59,980
I'm going to go outside and
pretend to use my cell phone.
405
00:23:59,981 > 00:24:01,315
Go.
406
00:24:11,243 > 00:24:12,618
Can I have your jacket?
407
00:24:12,619 > 00:24:14,828
Yeah. Here you go.
408
00:24:55,577 > 00:24:57,037
Are you going to bed?
409
00:24:57,038 > 00:24:58,914
I'll be up in a bit.
410
00:24:58,915 > 00:25:00,291
Don't stay up all night.
411
00:25:00,292 > 00:25:01,792
No, I'll be right there.
412
00:25:11,051 > 00:25:13,095
Thanks so much. I'll call you.
413
00:25:14,513 > 00:25:17,766
Wait. I thought you
had a good time.
414
00:25:17,767 > 00:25:19,977
Oh, I did. I loved it.
415
00:25:19,978 > 00:25:21,270
I've never been before.
416
00:25:21,271 > 00:25:24,190
Well, maybe I could come up.
417
00:25:24,191 > 00:25:27,567
Oh, Ryan, you're so sweet.
418
00:25:27,568 > 00:25:29,236
Really.
419
00:25:29,237 > 00:25:32,698
But if I was gonna fuck you, you'd know.
420
00:25:32,699 > 00:25:34,950
Thanks so much.
421
00:27:05,875 > 00:27:07,751
She's here.
Send her in.
422
00:27:07,752 > 00:27:09,920
It's quite rare for
a president's chief of staff
423
00:27:09,921 > 00:27:11,213
to climb the hill,
424
00:27:11,214 > 00:27:12,630
a gesture of respect, no doubt,
425
00:27:12,631 > 00:27:14,425
or desperation.
426
00:27:14,426 > 00:27:18,178
I'm guessing she'll say,
"Donald blythe for education."
427
00:27:19,555 > 00:27:21,890
Let's see if I'm right.
428
00:27:22,933 > 00:27:25,102
Good morning, Linda.
429
00:27:25,103 > 00:27:27,187
Thank you so much
for making the trip up.
430
00:27:27,188 > 00:27:28,606
Of course. My pleasure.
431
00:27:28,607 > 00:27:31,649
Education.
First things first.
432
00:27:31,650 > 00:27:33,860
The seating chart for the inauguration.
433
00:27:33,861 > 00:27:35,779
How do these two work
for you and Claire?
434
00:27:35,780 > 00:27:37,490
Wow.
435
00:27:37,491 > 00:27:38,698
They come with a complimentary
set of tickets
436
00:27:38,699 > 00:27:40,117
to the Jefferson ball.
437
00:27:40,118 > 00:27:41,910
Claire will be over the moon.
438
00:27:41,911 > 00:27:43,996
Good. I'm so glad.
439
00:27:43,997 > 00:27:46,706
So... education.
440
00:27:46,707 > 00:27:49,168
We have Donald blythe
drafting the legislation.
441
00:27:49,169 > 00:27:52,212
Donald blythe. Jesus.
I know.
442
00:27:52,213 > 00:27:56,175
So, you want a bill just
two steps left of Karl Marx.
443
00:27:56,176 > 00:27:59,928
I advised the presidentelect against it,
but Donald is the face of education.
444
00:27:59,929 > 00:28:02,181
He's been pushing reform for 25 years.
445
00:28:02,182 > 00:28:04,183
You want me to guide him to the middle.
446
00:28:04,184 > 00:28:06,810
We need a bill we can pass.
447
00:28:06,811 > 00:28:09,855
Do I have absolute autonomy
and authority on this?
448
00:28:09,856 > 00:28:11,731
There's more.
449
00:28:11,732 > 00:28:13,484
Garrett wants the bill on the floor
450
00:28:13,485 > 00:28:15,235
in the first 100 days.
451
00:28:15,236 > 00:28:18,989
He wants to make a pledge
in his inaugural address.
452
00:28:18,990 > 00:28:20,658
Well, that's...
453
00:28:22,118 > 00:28:24,036
That's very ambitious, Linda.
454
00:28:24,037 > 00:28:25,954
Can we make that pledge?
455
00:28:28,582 > 00:28:30,083
100 days?
456
00:28:31,502 > 00:28:33,587
I can deliver.
457
00:28:37,924 > 00:28:39,759
Keep me posted.
I'll talk with Donald.
458
00:28:39,760 > 00:28:41,595
I'll check in with you
later in the week.
459
00:28:41,596 > 00:28:43,013
Terrific.
460
00:28:43,014 > 00:28:44,348
Did you smell that?
461
00:28:44,349 > 00:28:46,684
The smugness, the false deference.
462
00:28:46,685 > 00:28:49,061
She thinks I can be bought
with a pair of tickets.
463
00:28:49,062 > 00:28:51,522
What am I, a whore
in postwar Berlin,
464
00:28:51,523 > 00:28:54,316
salivating over free stockings
and chocolate?
465
00:28:54,317 > 00:28:57,903
What she's asking will cost
far more than that.
466
00:28:59,029 > 00:29:01,740
Ferguson. Too old.
467
00:29:01,741 > 00:29:04,951
Willis.
Too stupid.
468
00:29:04,952 > 00:29:08,330
Boyd.
Too queer.
469
00:29:08,331 > 00:29:10,416
Really?
470
00:29:10,417 > 00:29:12,459
He's married with three kids.
471
00:29:12,460 > 00:29:14,002
And wouldn't they be devastated?
472
00:29:14,003 > 00:29:18,090
All right.
What about Catherine durant?
473
00:29:18,091 > 00:29:19,925
Cathy durant?
474
00:29:19,926 > 00:29:22,010
She was vocally antiWalker.
475
00:29:22,011 > 00:29:23,762
She's got the experience.
476
00:29:24,722 > 00:29:26,806
Set up a meeting.
477
00:29:30,519 > 00:29:32,229
Hey.
478
00:29:33,897 > 00:29:36,900
The donation from Sancorp.
Hmm?
479
00:29:36,901 > 00:29:38,777
The money will have to come
from somewhere else.
480
00:29:38,778 > 00:29:41,280
God, what... what happened?
481
00:29:41,281 > 00:29:43,240
I've looked over the budget
for fiscal '13,
482
00:29:43,241 > 00:29:46,660
and we've allocated
1.6 million for salaries.
483
00:29:46,661 > 00:29:48,621
We need to cut that in half.
484
00:29:48,622 > 00:29:50,163
Well, you're suggesting...
485
00:29:50,164 > 00:29:52,666
Evelyn, we're going to let
some people go.
486
00:29:52,667 > 00:29:54,668
That would be half of our staff.
487
00:29:54,669 > 00:29:56,169
We have to carve out some room.
488
00:29:56,170 > 00:29:59,423
But you would have to fire
some essential people
489
00:29:59,424 > 00:30:01,467
who've been with us since the beginning.
490
00:30:01,468 > 00:30:02,926
We are a charity,
491
00:30:02,927 > 00:30:05,137
but not for our employees.
492
00:30:05,138 > 00:30:07,514
You know, um, Claire,
I have held my tongue
493
00:30:07,515 > 00:30:10,058
about this whole international
thing for a while,
494
00:30:10,059 > 00:30:11,644
but I don't get it.
495
00:30:11,645 > 00:30:13,395
I mean, we are really good
at what we do.
496
00:30:13,396 > 00:30:16,148
Why do we have to try and be
something we're not?
497
00:30:16,149 > 00:30:17,857
Because we've plateaued, Evelyn,
498
00:30:17,858 > 00:30:20,486
and it is time for us,
for our entire organization...
499
00:30:20,487 > 00:30:21,779
What, digging Wells in Africa?
500
00:30:21,780 > 00:30:24,281
We don't know anything about that.
501
00:30:24,282 > 00:30:27,200
Which is why we have
to bring in new people.
502
00:30:27,201 > 00:30:29,911
This is the plan
that I've proposed to the board,
503
00:30:29,912 > 00:30:33,039
and we are moving forward with it.
504
00:30:33,040 > 00:30:36,918
I'd like a list of names, please.
505
00:30:36,919 > 00:30:39,505
Claire, could we just think about this?
506
00:30:39,506 > 00:30:41,131
I have thought about it.
507
00:30:41,132 > 00:30:43,133
I've put a lot of thought into it.
508
00:30:43,134 > 00:30:44,884
Yeah, but I think that we can really...
Evelyn.
509
00:30:44,885 > 00:30:46,720
You're the office manager.
510
00:30:46,721 > 00:30:49,598
I need you to trust
that I know what I'm doing,
511
00:30:49,599 > 00:30:52,892
so please get me that list
as soon as possible.
512
00:31:02,319 > 00:31:04,988
Oh, ma'am, you can't go up there.
I'm sorry. I just...
513
00:31:04,989 > 00:31:06,114
I just have one question.
No, no. You gotta come...
514
00:31:06,115 > 00:31:07,907
Sir, I apologize. This woman...
515
00:31:07,908 > 00:31:09,785
Congressman.
Miss, you need to step away from the fellow.
516
00:31:09,786 > 00:31:12,454
If I could just have one second.
Step away from the...
517
00:31:12,455 > 00:31:13,622
Who are you?
518
00:31:13,623 > 00:31:15,248
My name is Zoe Barnes.
519
00:31:15,249 > 00:31:19,294
I'm a reporter at the Washington herald.
520
00:31:19,295 > 00:31:22,631
It is after 10:30 at night,
and this is my home.
521
00:31:22,632 > 00:31:24,049
I do not allow any...
522
00:31:24,050 > 00:31:27,052
We're part of
a mutual admiration society.
523
00:31:30,138 > 00:31:31,849
You're a fan of the symphony.
524
00:31:31,850 > 00:31:35,185
Well, more for the people
watching than the music.
525
00:31:37,354 > 00:31:40,148
It's all right, Steve.
Come on in, miss Barnes.
526
00:31:55,873 > 00:31:57,332
It's strong.
527
00:31:57,333 > 00:31:58,876
Do you prefer it weak?
528
00:31:58,877 > 00:32:01,336
No. The stronger, the better.
529
00:32:04,297 > 00:32:06,049
There's no harm in looking.
530
00:32:06,050 > 00:32:08,260
It's a cheap ploy.
531
00:32:08,261 > 00:32:11,680
It's cheap but effective.
532
00:32:11,681 > 00:32:14,558
Well, you certainly have
my undivided attention.
533
00:32:14,559 > 00:32:17,102
Good. The reason I'm here...
534
00:32:17,103 > 00:32:19,938
Oh, is foreplay over?
535
00:32:19,939 > 00:32:23,525
I read somewhere that jfk never
lasted more than three minutes.
536
00:32:23,526 > 00:32:24,735
The point being?
537
00:32:24,736 > 00:32:26,278
Time is precious.
538
00:32:26,279 > 00:32:28,739
Powerful people don't have
the luxury of foreplay.
539
00:32:28,740 > 00:32:31,991
Okay, so why are you here, miss Barnes?
540
00:32:31,992 > 00:32:34,411
I need somebody I can talk to.
541
00:32:34,412 > 00:32:37,706
We're talking. Tell me
what we're talking about.
542
00:32:39,332 > 00:32:41,752
I protect your identity,
I print whatever you tell me,
543
00:32:41,753 > 00:32:43,420
and I'll never ask any questions.
544
00:32:43,421 > 00:32:45,338
And what makes you think
I don't already have
545
00:32:45,339 > 00:32:47,257
such an arrangement with
one of your colleagues?
546
00:32:47,258 > 00:32:51,094
Because if you did, you wouldn't
have let me through the door.
547
00:32:51,095 > 00:32:53,806
I've led a very long,
very successful career
548
00:32:53,807 > 00:32:56,182
avoiding this sort of intrigue
with the press.
549
00:32:56,183 > 00:32:58,477
I can't see any advantage
in starting now.
550
00:32:58,478 > 00:33:00,103
But is there any disadvantage?
551
00:33:00,104 > 00:33:01,605
Sloppiness, for one.
552
00:33:01,606 > 00:33:03,899
I promise you absolute discretion.
553
00:33:03,900 > 00:33:06,693
So, we're talking about trust.
554
00:33:06,694 > 00:33:08,487
Use whatever word you like.
555
00:33:08,488 > 00:33:10,322
Words matter very much, miss Barnes.
556
00:33:10,323 > 00:33:12,699
You should care more about
them, given your profession.
557
00:33:12,700 > 00:33:14,701
Then, yes...
558
00:33:14,702 > 00:33:16,662
Your trust.
559
00:33:16,663 > 00:33:19,456
So, which Zoe Barnes am I to trust?
560
00:33:19,457 > 00:33:22,709
The one who wrote about the fireman
that married the meter maid,
561
00:33:22,710 > 00:33:25,253
or the one who authored
a very fine article
562
00:33:25,254 > 00:33:28,214
on a new jogging path
in rock creek park?
563
00:33:28,215 > 00:33:30,258
Don't be flattered.
I read everything.
564
00:33:30,259 > 00:33:33,971
I'm better than what they have me doing.
565
00:33:35,263 > 00:33:38,099
You know what that feels like.
Do I?
566
00:33:38,100 > 00:33:40,560
You'd have made
a great secretary of state.
567
00:33:44,731 > 00:33:47,693
How exactly may I help you, miss Barnes?
568
00:33:49,402 > 00:33:51,738
You must know the administration's
legislative agenda,
569
00:33:51,739 > 00:33:54,616
what's coming up first.
I may.
570
00:33:54,617 > 00:33:56,409
Will you tell me?
571
00:33:56,410 > 00:33:59,078
What would be your guess?
572
00:34:00,664 > 00:34:02,666
Education.
Why?
573
00:34:02,667 > 00:34:05,126
Imimmigration
is too controversial.
574
00:34:05,127 > 00:34:08,171
Tax reform isn't sexy enough.
575
00:34:08,172 > 00:34:11,925
Everyone can get behind children.
576
00:34:11,926 > 00:34:14,845
Is it education?
You might very well think that.
577
00:34:14,846 > 00:34:17,014
I couldn't possibly comment.
578
00:34:17,015 > 00:34:19,641
A hint.
It's late, miss Barnes.
579
00:34:19,642 > 00:34:22,394
Can we talk again?
I hope you'll understand
580
00:34:22,395 > 00:34:24,103
that I wanna sleep on all this.
581
00:34:24,104 > 00:34:25,605
I never make such big decisions
582
00:34:25,606 > 00:34:29,609
so long after sunset
and so far from dawn.
583
00:34:34,322 > 00:34:36,366
My cell phone's on the back.
584
00:34:36,367 > 00:34:38,284
Did you put miss Barnes
in the visitors' ledger?
585
00:34:38,285 > 00:34:39,661
Not yet.
586
00:34:39,662 > 00:34:42,497
Don't. Needless to say.
Needless.
587
00:34:42,498 > 00:34:43,540
Hello.
588
00:34:43,541 > 00:34:45,500
Claire!
589
00:34:45,501 > 00:34:48,086
This is miss Zoe Barnes
of the Washington herald.
590
00:34:48,087 > 00:34:49,629
She was just leaving.
591
00:34:49,630 > 00:34:52,007
Very nice to meet you,
Mrs. Underwood.
592
00:34:52,925 > 00:34:54,217
Drive safe.
593
00:34:54,218 > 00:34:56,428
There's a lot of ice on the road.
594
00:34:57,846 > 00:34:59,806
I will.
595
00:34:59,807 > 00:35:01,975
Thank you.
596
00:35:02,976 > 00:35:04,811
Does that work on anybody?
597
00:35:04,812 > 00:35:06,354
Does what?
598
00:35:06,355 > 00:35:08,815
The pushup bra
and the vneck tee.
599
00:35:08,816 > 00:35:12,485
Well, if it does,
I don't know who they are.
600
00:35:18,742 > 00:35:21,453
Okay, relax, relax.
601
00:35:29,586 > 00:35:31,421
License and registration.
602
00:35:31,422 > 00:35:34,424
Uh, the glove compartment, sweetheart.
603
00:35:36,259 > 00:35:39,345
This isn't your driver's license.
It's a Starbucks card.
604
00:35:39,346 > 00:35:41,514
Oh, shit. Sorry.
605
00:35:41,515 > 00:35:43,308
Sir, have you been drinking?
606
00:35:43,309 > 00:35:45,477
No, I never drink coffee at this hour.
607
00:35:45,478 > 00:35:47,771
I'm going to need you
to step out of the car.
608
00:35:47,772 > 00:35:50,231
Hey, if I was speeding,
you can write me a ticket...
609
00:35:50,232 > 00:35:53,359
Sir, step out of the car right now.
610
00:35:56,279 > 00:35:58,115
Look, I don't want to be a prick,
611
00:35:58,116 > 00:36:00,117
but I'm a member of...
Of congress.
612
00:36:00,118 > 00:36:02,577
I don't care if you're
the king of China.
613
00:36:02,578 > 00:36:04,746
China doesn't have a king.
614
00:36:04,747 > 00:36:08,000
It's a communist "agualarchy."
615
00:36:08,001 > 00:36:10,961
Oligar... "Oliguarchy."
Let's go. Out.
616
00:36:10,962 > 00:36:14,089
You, too, sweetie.
Fuck. That's hard to say.
617
00:36:28,562 > 00:36:31,064
Ahem. Hello.
618
00:36:33,358 > 00:36:35,068
Good.
619
00:36:36,528 > 00:36:38,864
Well, let's get him out.
620
00:36:46,664 > 00:36:51,334
621
00:36:52,919 > 00:36:56,882
622
00:36:58,299 > 00:37:01,678
623
00:37:03,180 > 00:37:07,684
624
00:37:07,685 > 00:37:09,936
Mind if I join you?
625
00:37:09,937 > 00:37:12,105
What the fuck is going on?
626
00:37:12,106 > 00:37:13,857
I thought I was meeting
with the congress...
627
00:37:13,858 > 00:37:15,233
No, you're meeting me.
628
00:37:15,234 > 00:37:17,694
It's 4:00
in the goddamn morning.
629
00:37:17,695 > 00:37:19,445
I got a city council meeting...
630
00:37:19,446 > 00:37:21,531
You've been police commissioner
for what,
631
00:37:21,532 > 00:37:23,491
almost a decade now?
632
00:37:23,492 > 00:37:25,785
We're here to talk about my resume?
633
00:37:25,786 > 00:37:29,247
"Mayor of D.C." would look good
on that resume, wouldn't it?
634
00:37:29,248 > 00:37:32,667
We know that you've been
angling to run for some time.
635
00:37:32,668 > 00:37:34,669
Experience is your strong suit.
636
00:37:34,670 > 00:37:38,006
Endorsement and fundraising,
they're not.
637
00:37:38,007 > 00:37:40,842
We can help with that.
638
00:37:43,220 > 00:37:44,971
Russo.
639
00:37:51,561 > 00:37:55,148
Russo. You're free to go.
640
00:37:56,441 > 00:37:57,984
It was just a few drinks.
641
00:37:57,985 > 00:37:59,402
It was enough
to get pulled over.
642
00:37:59,403 > 00:38:01,279
But I wasn't drunk drunk.
643
00:38:04,408 > 00:38:06,826
Were you alone?
Yes.
644
00:38:06,827 > 00:38:08,369
Say that to my face.
645
00:38:08,370 > 00:38:10,538
Hey, watch the road.
Say it to my face.
646
00:38:10,539 > 00:38:13,083
Yes... I was alone.
647
00:38:16,377 > 00:38:19,256
You cannot keep doing this, Peter.
648
00:38:19,257 > 00:38:21,466
It's going to catch up with you.
649
00:38:22,801 > 00:38:24,469
I know.
650
00:38:26,471 > 00:38:28,807
Do you think we can arrange
two more at our table
651
00:38:28,808 > 00:38:30,142
for the Jefferson ball?
652
00:38:30,143 > 00:38:32,644
For whom?
The Holburnes.
653
00:38:32,645 > 00:38:34,687
Why on earth would you want them there?
654
00:38:34,688 > 00:38:36,397
I'm going to need her money
for the C.W.I.
655
00:38:36,398 > 00:38:38,191
The staff cuts are just not enough.
656
00:38:38,192 > 00:38:39,818
I'll talk to vasquez.
657
00:38:39,819 > 00:38:42,528
How are we doing?
Good. Progress.
658
00:38:42,529 > 00:38:44,197
Irons in the fire.
659
00:38:44,198 > 00:38:45,657
I like irons,
660
00:38:45,658 > 00:38:48,243
but I love fire.
661
00:39:03,049 > 00:39:05,177
Yes...
662
00:39:07,262 > 00:39:08,680
Ah.
663
00:39:11,391 > 00:39:12,767
What are you...
664
00:39:12,768 > 00:39:14,477
The bill is garbage, Donald.
665
00:39:14,478 > 00:39:16,855
Tax increases, ban on
vouchers, federal oversight...
666
00:39:16,856 > 00:39:18,898
How do you expect me to get
that through a committee?
667
00:39:18,899 > 00:39:20,692
When Linda told me
to write it, she promised...
668
00:39:20,693 > 00:39:22,319
I'm sure she said any number of things.
669
00:39:22,320 > 00:39:23,945
Forget what they promised you, Donald.
670
00:39:23,946 > 00:39:26,948
They want your name
because it carries weight.
671
00:39:26,949 > 00:39:28,658
Well, my name comes with my ideas.
672
00:39:28,659 > 00:39:30,451
I understand, but you've
got to be reasonable.
673
00:39:30,452 > 00:39:31,828
This isn't the great debate.
674
00:39:31,829 > 00:39:34,206
It's about passing meaningful reform.
675
00:39:34,207 > 00:39:38,584
Maybe not everything you would've
hoped, but help me help you.
676
00:39:38,585 > 00:39:40,419
That's going to take time.
677
00:39:40,420 > 00:39:42,255
I... those ideas, I've
been developing them for...
678
00:39:42,256 > 00:39:44,590
If it's time you need,
I will buy you time,
679
00:39:44,591 > 00:39:46,551
but you've got to promise me
your nextatbat
680
00:39:46,552 > 00:39:49,804
is going to give me something
I can work with.
681
00:39:49,805 > 00:39:52,390
Okay, Frank, I'll see what I can do.
682
00:39:52,391 > 00:39:54,684
Good. And, Donald, don't let
this get you down, all right?
683
00:39:54,685 > 00:40:00,523
Together we're going to do more than
you've been able to do in 25 years.
684
00:40:03,235 > 00:40:05,070
Two things are now irrelevant...
685
00:40:05,071 > 00:40:07,613
Donald blythe
and Donald Blythe's new draft.
686
00:40:07,614 > 00:40:09,824
Eventually I'll have
to rewrite the bill myself.
687
00:40:09,825 > 00:40:11,743
Forward!
That is the battle cry.
688
00:40:11,744 > 00:40:14,037
Leave ideology to the armchair generals.
689
00:40:14,038 > 00:40:15,914
It does me no good.
690
00:40:15,915 > 00:40:18,541
Walker just nominated kern.
691
00:40:18,542 > 00:40:21,253
It's a long road to confirmation.
692
00:40:21,254 > 00:40:24,047
Kern is a boy scout.
Nobody's a boy scout.
693
00:40:24,048 > 00:40:25,757
Not even boy scouts.
694
00:40:26,674 > 00:40:28,009
What do you have?
695
00:40:28,010 > 00:40:29,844
Absolutely nothing.
696
00:40:31,389 > 00:40:33,056
Then what are we talking about?
697
00:40:33,057 > 00:40:34,599
Just asking a simple question.
698
00:40:34,600 > 00:40:36,393
Does the job interest you?
699
00:40:37,936 > 00:40:40,563
Why would you want Michael gone?
700
00:40:40,564 > 00:40:42,607
Cathy, you and I came up together.
701
00:40:42,608 > 00:40:44,776
The foreign affairs committee needs
a secretary we can work with,
702
00:40:44,777 > 00:40:48,280
someone who isn't afraid to stand
up to Walker when he's wrong.
703
00:40:48,281 > 00:40:50,531
We need you.
704
00:40:54,702 > 00:40:56,788
Let's assume I am interested.
705
00:40:56,789 > 00:40:58,539
I don't want to assume.
706
00:40:58,540 > 00:41:01,209
I want to know.
707
00:41:43,542 > 00:41:45,295
2...Okay.
708
00:41:45,296 > 00:41:46,671
2637.
709
00:41:52,469 > 00:41:54,304
Please hold.
710
00:41:54,305 > 00:41:56,222
Zoe Barnes.
711
00:41:57,598 > 00:42:01,186
Anywhere you want. On my way.
712
00:42:01,187 > 00:42:03,396
I'm gonna have to call you back.
713
00:42:17,369 > 00:42:20,497
So sorry. I couldn't catch a cab.
I had to take a train...
714
00:42:20,498 > 00:42:22,540
Just before you left my house...
715
00:42:22,541 > 00:42:24,209
Think back...
716
00:42:24,210 > 00:42:26,002
What were we discussing?
717
00:42:27,212 > 00:42:28,921
The president's legislative agenda.
718
00:42:28,922 > 00:42:30,840
Specifically.
719
00:42:30,841 > 00:42:32,967
Education. Was I right?
720
00:42:32,968 > 00:42:35,594
Do the math, miss Barnes.
721
00:42:35,595 > 00:42:38,806
He needs a bill.
Sponsored by...
722
00:42:38,807 > 00:42:42,519
You?
Be smarter than that.
723
00:42:44,729 > 00:42:46,523
Somebody with legitimacy.
Good.
724
00:42:46,524 > 00:42:49,775
And who screams legitimacy
and education?
725
00:42:49,776 > 00:42:52,653
Donald blythe?
Correct. The problem is...
726
00:42:52,654 > 00:42:55,614
He's an oldschool
taxandspend liberal.
727
00:42:55,615 > 00:42:58,326
Walker ran as a moderate.
728
00:42:59,702 > 00:43:02,080
You think blythe would talk to me?
729
00:43:03,081 > 00:43:05,208
He doesn't have to.
730
00:43:06,751 > 00:43:09,170
Wait. We're in
a very gray area...
731
00:43:09,171 > 00:43:11,923
Ethically, legally...
Which I'm okay with...
732
00:43:11,924 > 00:43:14,509
I just love this painting.
Don't you?
733
00:43:16,052 > 00:43:18,471
We're in the same boat now, Zoe.
734
00:43:18,472 > 00:43:20,014
Take care not to tip it over.
735
00:43:20,015 > 00:43:22,975
I can only save one of us from drowning.
736
00:43:49,668 > 00:43:52,171
He announces his education
initiative on Monday.
737
00:43:52,172 > 00:43:54,591
Half of the address is based on...
I understand.
738
00:43:54,592 > 00:43:56,926
Do we need to take it out?
We're fine, Linda.
739
00:43:56,927 > 00:43:59,387
But you just got through
saying he has to start over.
740
00:43:59,388 > 00:44:01,347
I didn't choose blythe.
You did.
741
00:44:01,348 > 00:44:04,100
You put him in my lap and asked
me to work a miracle, and I will.
742
00:44:04,101 > 00:44:06,144
Now, have a little faith, Linda.
743
00:44:06,145 > 00:44:07,728
Let me work with Donald on this.
744
00:44:07,729 > 00:44:10,440
I know what can be
accomplished in 100 days.
745
00:44:10,441 > 00:44:13,485
All right, Frank.
We're counting on you.
746
00:44:13,486 > 00:44:15,194
Good.
747
00:44:16,571 > 00:44:18,531
Now, I do have a little favor to ask.
748
00:44:18,532 > 00:44:21,951
Do you think I can get
just two more tickets
749
00:44:21,952 > 00:44:25,288
for my table at the Jefferson ball?
750
00:44:35,173 > 00:44:38,676
Drink?
Uh, sure! What do you got?
751
00:44:38,677 > 00:44:40,094
Whiskey. Blend.
752
00:44:40,095 > 00:44:42,930
If you're offering.
753
00:44:42,931 > 00:44:45,642
So... how are things
754
00:44:45,643 > 00:44:47,393
in the city of brotherly love?
755
00:44:47,394 > 00:44:50,188
We're getting by.
Oh, good.
756
00:44:50,189 > 00:44:52,273
Good. Oh, I'm sorry.
757
00:44:52,274 > 00:44:55,360
I made that neat. Did you want...
No, this is perfect.
758
00:45:05,161 > 00:45:09,499
So, it seems you've been
a bit irresponsible.
759
00:45:09,500 > 00:45:11,250
What?
760
00:45:11,251 > 00:45:13,336
Don't play dumb with me, Peter.
761
00:45:13,337 > 00:45:15,463
Save it for the ethics committee.
762
00:45:16,964 > 00:45:19,634
Drink up. You could use
a little courage right now.
763
00:45:19,635 > 00:45:22,136
You're not having one.
764
00:45:22,137 > 00:45:25,390
It's a bit early in the day for me.
765
00:45:27,184 > 00:45:29,519
Is this about the other night?
766
00:45:29,520 > 00:45:30,936
How do you know about that?
767
00:45:30,937 > 00:45:33,730
I'm the whip.
It's my job to know.
768
00:45:33,731 > 00:45:35,525
Look... look, they let me off.
769
00:45:35,526 > 00:45:38,486
There's... there's no charges.
It's all taken care of.
770
00:45:38,487 > 00:45:40,488
Honestly, Peter,
771
00:45:40,489 > 00:45:42,198
do you really think these things
772
00:45:42,199 > 00:45:44,116
just take care of themselves?
773
00:45:44,117 > 00:45:46,785
You...
774
00:45:49,081 > 00:45:51,790
It was just this one time,
Frank. I swear to God.
775
00:45:51,791 > 00:45:54,001
Then you must hold God
in very low esteem,
776
00:45:54,002 > 00:45:57,213
because we both know that's a lie.
777
00:45:57,214 > 00:46:00,717
"Solicitation, controlled substances,
778
00:46:00,718 > 00:46:03,094
driving under the influence."
779
00:46:03,095 > 00:46:05,888
Got quite a long list of hobbies.
780
00:46:07,265 > 00:46:09,726
What is it you want?
781
00:46:20,027 > 00:46:25,700
Your absolute, unquestioning loyalty.
782
00:46:25,701 > 00:46:27,201
Always.
783
00:46:27,202 > 00:46:31,205
Do not misunderstand
what I mean by "loyalty."
784
00:46:31,206 > 00:46:34,125
Anything. Name it, Frank.
785
00:46:34,126 > 00:46:37,712
You seem far too relaxed.
I'm not.
786
00:46:37,713 > 00:46:39,922
You shouldn't be.
787
00:46:41,758 > 00:46:44,093
Doug'll be in touch.
788
00:46:48,307 > 00:46:49,682
Hang on.
789
00:46:49,683 > 00:46:51,643
Where have you been?
I've been calling you.
790
00:46:51,644 > 00:46:53,561
Everybody's working doubletime
in an inauguration,
791
00:46:53,562 > 00:46:56,063
and you just up and disappear...
792
00:46:57,106 > 00:46:59,525
Hang on.
793
00:47:05,239 > 00:47:06,991
Let me call you back.
794
00:47:10,495 > 00:47:12,913
Where did you get this?
Wrong question.
795
00:47:12,914 > 00:47:16,501
The right question is, how quickly
can we get it up on the site?
796
00:47:16,502 > 00:47:19,170
I have to run this past tom.
797
00:47:19,171 > 00:47:20,963
Let's get legal on this.
798
00:47:20,964 > 00:47:23,341
Make sure we're not breaking any laws.
799
00:47:23,342 > 00:47:25,884
You won't tell me your source?
I can't do that.
800
00:47:25,885 > 00:47:28,554
Fine, but if legal finds even one...
I understand.
801
00:47:28,555 > 00:47:31,223
How long do you think that will take?
We should get this online right away.
802
00:47:31,224 > 00:47:33,267
I'm not just going to scan
a 300page document
803
00:47:33,268 > 00:47:35,060
and put it up before we
have gone through every...
804
00:47:35,061 > 00:47:37,814
I did that already.
The whole thing?
805
00:47:37,815 > 00:47:39,940
Cover to cover.
I've got excerpts, analysis.
806
00:47:39,941 > 00:47:42,276
3,000 words ready for editing.
807
00:47:43,820 > 00:47:45,279
You start going over them.
808
00:47:45,280 > 00:47:47,406
Get graphics. Work on
the tables, charts...
809
00:47:47,407 > 00:47:50,034
The whole nine yards.
810
00:47:50,035 > 00:47:51,868
Janine!
811
00:47:51,869 > 00:47:53,830
What's the angle? Five words.
812
00:47:53,831 > 00:47:55,998
Far left of center.
That's four.
813
00:47:55,999 > 00:47:58,751
Very far left of center.
Enough to put Walker on his heels?
814
00:47:58,752 > 00:48:00,378
Fuck his heels.
This'll put him on his ass.
815
00:48:00,379 > 00:48:02,254
What's up?
816
00:48:02,255 > 00:48:05,090
We've got a copy of the
administration's education bill.
817
00:48:05,091 > 00:48:07,760
You're going to work with Zoe and do background cover.
Zoe Barnes?
818
00:48:07,761 > 00:48:10,638
Right here.
Whatever she needs.
819
00:48:10,639 > 00:48:13,057
Well, shouldn't I be writing the...
She wrote it already.
820
00:48:13,058 > 00:48:15,434
And I want you to rewrite it,
then rewrite it again.
821
00:48:15,435 > 00:48:18,145
You'll help her.
Tom, I am your chief political correspondent.
822
00:48:18,146 > 00:48:20,189
Go! I want this by tomorrow.
823
00:48:20,190 > 00:48:22,692
But I need to focus on the inauguration.
This is more important.
824
00:48:22,693 > 00:48:24,861
Let's get started.
825
00:48:24,862 > 00:48:26,903
"That I will
faithfully execute the office"
826
00:48:26,904 > 00:48:28,740
of president
of the United States."
827
00:48:28,741 > 00:48:30,742
That I will faithfully
execute the office...
828
00:48:30,743 > 00:48:32,577
Power is a lot like real estate.
829
00:48:32,578 > 00:48:35,996
It's all about location,
location, location.
830
00:48:35,997 > 00:48:37,832
The closer you are to the source,
831
00:48:37,833 > 00:48:39,542
the higher your property value.
832
00:48:39,543 > 00:48:41,502
"And defend
the constitution..."
833
00:48:41,503 > 00:48:44,296
Centuries from now,
when people watch this footage,
834
00:48:44,297 > 00:48:47,508
who will they see smiling
just at the edge of the frame?
835
00:48:47,509 > 00:48:50,177
"So help me God."
So help me God.
836
00:48:50,178 > 00:48:52,054
Congratulations.
837
00:49:08,613 > 00:49:13,033
Today... is not about
the next four years.
838
00:49:13,034 > 00:49:16,287
It's about the next four decades.
839
00:49:16,288 > 00:49:19,123
Now, you've placed your faith in me,
840
00:49:19,124 > 00:49:21,125
and I, in turn,
841
00:49:21,126 > 00:49:25,087
choose to place that faith
in our children.
842
00:49:25,088 > 00:49:30,217
Our children are the key
to this nation's future.
843
00:49:30,218 > 00:49:32,804
And that's why
the first order of business
844
00:49:32,805 > 00:49:34,513
for this administration
845
00:49:34,514 > 00:49:38,183
will be a comprehensive
education reform bill
846
00:49:38,184 > 00:49:41,978
to properly fix, finance,
847
00:49:41,979 > 00:49:45,232
and strengthen our nation's schools!
848
00:49:48,152 > 00:49:50,696
And I pledge to you,
849
00:49:50,697 > 00:49:53,908
we will have that bill
on the floor of the congress
850
00:49:53,909 > 00:49:58,329
within the first 100 days
of this administration!
851
00:50:03,751 > 00:50:06,170
It was so nice of you
to make this possible.
852
00:50:06,171 > 00:50:07,964
When you called me, I was...
Oh, not another one.
853
00:50:07,965 > 00:50:09,715
I'm gonna miss out
854
00:50:09,716 > 00:50:12,301
on my ultimate frisbee league this week.
855
00:50:12,302 > 00:50:14,720
No, I'm serious.
A few of us on budget
856
00:50:14,721 > 00:50:17,682
have quite a rivalry going
with the guys on finance.
857
00:50:17,683 > 00:50:20,309
It's fierce. We get physical.
858
00:50:20,310 > 00:50:22,227
Anybody gets between me
and that goal line,
859
00:50:22,228 > 00:50:25,481
I will take that sucker down!
860
00:50:45,626 > 00:50:48,253
Donald, I've been looking
for you everywhere.
861
00:50:48,254 > 00:50:50,715
Maestro, here, let me
help you out with this.
862
00:50:50,716 > 00:50:52,884
I really like the work
you've done on the new draft.
863
00:50:52,885 > 00:50:55,386
It's a big step forward. We're
gonna make history together.
864
00:50:55,387 > 00:50:57,471
Thanks for the encouragement.
Francis, listen...
865
00:50:57,472 > 00:50:59,765
I've got some ideas about
subsidies for higher education...
866
00:50:59,766 > 00:51:02,476
Catherine! Hold onto
that thought, Donald.
867
00:51:02,477 > 00:51:05,437
Don't you look stunt!
868
00:51:05,438 > 00:51:08,315
We Southern girls clean up well
when we get out of our Daisy Dukes
869
00:51:08,316 > 00:51:11,569
and into some vera wang.
And we Southern boys are slow with our words,
870
00:51:11,570 > 00:51:13,445
but we're fast on our feet.
871
00:51:13,446 > 00:51:15,197
May I have the honor?
872
00:51:15,198 > 00:51:17,366
You most certainly may.
873
00:51:42,016 > 00:51:44,309
Mornin', Freddy.
Good morning, Frank.
874
00:51:44,310 > 00:51:46,812
How's tricks?
I can't kick.
875
00:51:46,813 > 00:51:49,648
You want to go on in?
No. Why don't you set me up outside?
876
00:51:49,649 > 00:51:51,901
Outside?
It's freezing out here.
877
00:51:51,902 > 00:51:54,486
Well, a little cold never hurt anybody.
878
00:51:54,487 > 00:51:56,530
Anything you say, Frank.
879
00:51:56,531 > 00:51:58,783
It'll be right up.
880
00:51:58,784 > 00:52:01,994
My one guilty pleasure is a good rack
of ribs, even at 7:30 in the morning.
881
00:52:01,995 > 00:52:03,871
