1
00:00:01,261 --> 00:00:02,781
Previously on House of Cards...
2
00:00:02,806 --> 00:00:04,789
"That I take this obligation freely,
3
00:00:04,814 --> 00:00:07,974
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion..."
4
00:00:07,999 --> 00:00:09,575
That I take this obligation freely,
5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,074
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion...
6
00:00:12,075 --> 00:00:13,214
"...and that I will..."
7
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,019
One heartbeat away from the presidency,
and not a single vote cast in my name.
8
00:00:17,044 --> 00:00:19,044
Democracy is so overrated.
9
00:00:19,069 --> 00:00:21,227
I lean more toward
Raymond's thinking.
10
00:00:21,252 --> 00:00:23,254
The last thing we want to do
is rock the boat.
11
00:00:24,672 --> 00:00:27,121
- You promised you'd make this go away.
- You starting over...
12
00:00:27,146 --> 00:00:29,731
I already started over.
I don't want to start over again.
13
00:00:29,756 --> 00:00:31,080
I wish you didn't have to.
14
00:00:32,721 --> 00:00:34,816
DC Police have ruled
the death an accident.
15
00:00:34,841 --> 00:00:35,941
Are you giving up on this?
16
00:00:35,966 --> 00:00:38,768
There are only three people in
the world that know what he has done,
17
00:00:38,793 --> 00:00:39,804
and one of them is gone.
18
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,588
- Like who they called? - Yeah. Who they
called, texted, what they texted, when.
19
00:00:42,613 --> 00:00:44,270
- How do you access it?
- I could show you if you want.
20
00:00:44,295 --> 00:00:48,180
But I gotta warn you, be careful what
you click. Some crazy shit there, man.
21
00:00:50,652 --> 00:00:53,891
Raising the age of retirement is
an unacceptable erosion
22
00:00:53,892 --> 00:00:55,692
of the American dream.
23
00:00:55,693 --> 00:00:58,793
If the Republicans fail to pass
a reasonable omnibus package
24
00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:01,209
by demanding entitlement reform,
25
00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:03,930
they will force the federal government
into a spending freeze.
26
00:01:03,931 --> 00:01:08,009
The frostbite will be
on their hands, not ours.
27
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:10,329
Do you think that's a bit much?
The frostbite bit?
28
00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:13,329
It's the State of the Union.
We want to appeal to fly-over states.
29
00:01:13,330 --> 00:01:16,049
- They'll like that line.
- I want something more forceful.
30
00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:18,009
- "Blood on their hands"?
- No.
31
00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:20,689
- "Throw us back into the ice age."
- Oh, I like that, Christina.
32
00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:24,650
Let's try that. Linda.
Christina, you come up here too.
33
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:38,049
There are two types of vice presidents:
doormats and matadors.
34
00:01:38,050 --> 00:01:41,689
Which do you think
I intend to be?
35
00:01:41,690 --> 00:01:43,131
Raymond.
36
00:01:46,050 --> 00:01:50,649
He's hung up on the domestic agenda.
Not a single word about China.
37
00:01:50,650 --> 00:01:54,048
His instincts are right. If the government
shuts down one day after the speech,
38
00:01:54,049 --> 00:01:57,169
not a single word in the speech matters.
We have to address the freeze now.
39
00:01:57,170 --> 00:02:00,570
- China comes later.
- Both parties have been wrangling
40
00:02:00,571 --> 00:02:02,889
over entitlements for months.
What makes you think
41
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:05,889
a miracle's gonna happen
in the next three days?
42
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:10,249
We give the Republicans
exactly what they want.
43
00:02:10,250 --> 00:02:12,210
- Retirement age?
- Yes.
44
00:02:12,211 --> 00:02:15,729
That's a line in
the sand we cannot cross.
45
00:02:15,730 --> 00:02:18,889
We will cross it, eventually.
So why keep fighting it?
46
00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:22,969
I can push this through the Senate,
and once I do, the president will announce
47
00:02:22,970 --> 00:02:26,490
a major bipartisan agreement
in the State of the Union.
48
00:02:26,491 --> 00:02:29,849
We avoid a government shutdown
and the White House gets credit.
49
00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:33,809
It's a huge risk, and if it fails,
a huge embarrassment.
50
00:02:33,810 --> 00:02:37,248
The embarrassment will be
entirely my own. This is on my shoulders.
51
00:02:37,249 --> 00:02:42,088
Even so, the president is
gonna require some serious persuasion.
52
00:02:42,089 --> 00:02:45,489
- I'm happy to talk to him.
- No.
53
00:02:45,490 --> 00:02:49,009
No... I'll do it.
54
00:02:49,010 --> 00:02:52,569
He'll be more amenable
if it comes from a friend.
55
00:02:52,570 --> 00:02:55,290
You're right.
A trusted confidant.
56
00:02:55,291 --> 00:02:57,610
Let me test the waters.
57
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:03,449
The Cult of Tusk.
one.
58
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:05,809
But that one disciple
just so happens to be
59
00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:10,330
the most powerful man
in the free world. For now.
60

Subtitles by MemoryOnSmells

61
00:04:44,969 --> 00:04:48,289
Entitlements. Raising
the age of eligibility to 67.
62
00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:49,728
Your people will
never go for it.
63
00:04:49,729 --> 00:04:51,169
They will if the
leadership does,
64
00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:52,648
and the leadership will.
65
00:04:52,649 --> 00:04:54,568
They've fought us on this
since I was in diapers.
66
00:04:54,569 --> 00:04:57,609
Assuming that I can get this past
my people and convince them,
67
00:04:57,610 --> 00:05:00,649
- can you convince yours?
- It's a tough sell.
68
00:05:00,650 --> 00:05:04,809
You're the Senate majority leader, Hector.
You don't have to sell, you can dictate.
69
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:07,008
- What do you want in return?
- A working government.
70
00:05:07,009 --> 00:05:09,369
- We stave off the freeze.
- You won on education,
71
00:05:09,370 --> 00:05:11,369
we confirmed you
as vice president.
72
00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:13,928
- The Republicans need a win, Frank.
- And that's what I'm offering.
73
00:05:13,929 --> 00:05:16,329
You get a win on entitlements,
we avoid a shutdown.
74
00:05:16,330 --> 00:05:19,528
Everyone gets points
for bipartisanship.
75
00:05:19,529 --> 00:05:22,489
- You know who I'm worried about?
- Curtis Haas.
76
00:05:22,490 --> 00:05:25,609
- He's a troublemaker, Frank.
- Who controls a third of your caucus.
77
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:28,609
And he'll never go for this.
He wants to see the Democrats suffer.
78
00:05:28,610 --> 00:05:32,450
Just bring him to the table.
That's all I'm asking.
79
00:05:40,330 --> 00:05:42,769
Miss Gallagher?
My name is Lucas Goodwin,
80
00:05:42,770 --> 00:05:44,729
I'm a deputy editor
of the Washington Herald.
81
00:05:44,730 --> 00:05:46,489
- Mr. Goodwin, please.
- Just a few moments,
82
00:05:46,490 --> 00:05:48,849
- that's all I'm asking.
- If I wanted to talk to you,
83
00:05:48,850 --> 00:05:50,849
- I would've returned your calls.
- Did you read my e-mails?
84
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:52,529
Yes. Which is
why I didn't call.
85
00:05:52,530 --> 00:05:53,969
Give me a chance
to walk you through it.
86
00:05:53,970 --> 00:05:55,529
I have to get back
to the White House.
87
00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:57,049
- Peter Russo was killed.
- Let go.
88
00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:58,848
So was Zoe Barnes.
I was working with her.
89
00:05:58,849 --> 00:06:00,569
- Stop and listen.
- Frank Underwood is the one who did this.
90
00:06:00,570 --> 00:06:02,969
Listen! This is nuts.
91
00:06:02,970 --> 00:06:05,728
- The DUI, the brachiums. All of it...
- This has to stop. OK?
92
00:06:05,729 --> 00:06:07,968
Underwood talk to you?
Tell you not to speak with anybody?
93
00:06:07,969 --> 00:06:09,049
- No.
- Doug Stamper?
94
00:06:09,050 --> 00:06:10,449
Whatever you think happened,
95
00:06:10,450 --> 00:06:12,328
whatever compelled you
to stalk me like this...
96
00:06:12,329 --> 00:06:13,889
You're the only person
who might know something,
97
00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:15,089
who could understand.
98
00:06:15,090 --> 00:06:16,889
I've got no one else
I can talk...
99
00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:20,089
I don't understand.
And I don't want to. OK?
100
00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:22,489
- There's no story here.
- Please, five minutes.
101
00:06:22,490 --> 00:06:24,249
Think about what you're doing.
Waiting outside...
102
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:26,770
Peter would be alive if it
wasn't for Frank Underwood.
103
00:06:28,609 --> 00:06:31,729
I've worked really hard
to put Peter behind me.
104
00:06:31,730 --> 00:06:35,929
So if I see you again,
if I hear from you again,
I'll not only contact the police,
105
00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:37,969
I'll let the vice president
know what you're saying,
106
00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:40,930
and then you can deal
with the Secret Service, too.
107
00:06:42,410 --> 00:06:44,128
It's the usual overseas chatter.
108
00:06:44,129 --> 00:06:45,729
A bit of a bump in China,
109
00:06:45,730 --> 00:06:47,929
but we chalk that up
to the trade tensions.
110
00:06:47,930 --> 00:06:50,449
- Secret Service?
- Average number of death threats
111
00:06:50,450 --> 00:06:52,089
to both POTUS and the VP.
112
00:06:52,090 --> 00:06:54,449
We passed them along
to our dear friends at the FBI.
113
00:06:54,450 --> 00:06:56,889
FBI?
114
00:06:56,890 --> 00:06:58,568
The FBI confirms the level
115
00:06:58,569 --> 00:07:01,448
of activity of our dear friends
at the Secret Service.
116
00:07:01,449 --> 00:07:04,489
We've followed up on everything.
No high-level threats.
117
00:07:04,490 --> 00:07:07,609
So nothing we need to report directly
to the president or vice president?
118
00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:09,889
- No.
- Thank you, gentlemen.
119
00:07:12,929 --> 00:07:15,409
The e-mail you sent,
has anyone else seen it?
120
00:07:15,410 --> 00:07:17,568
Except for the agent
that alerted me, no.
121
00:07:17,569 --> 00:07:20,089
Other agencies might
have stumbled upon this.
122
00:07:20,090 --> 00:07:21,608
Even so, they
probably ignored it.
123
00:07:21,609 --> 00:07:23,609
Any idea who's making the posts?
124
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:26,129
Deep Web forums. Almost impossible
to trace. Lone wolf, most likely.
125
00:07:26,130 --> 00:07:30,128
- I want you to find him.
- We need a direct threat to life.
126
00:07:30,129 --> 00:07:32,128
The vice president
just assumed office.
127
00:07:32,129 --> 00:07:34,848
I can't have this conspiracy
stuff going mainstream.
128
00:07:34,849 --> 00:07:37,969
- This sort of thing usually fizzles out.
- I can't take the chance.
129
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:40,329
I want you to find him
and put him away.
130
00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:43,769
- He hasn't committed a crime.
- But he wants to.
131
00:07:43,770 --> 00:07:46,728
- So help him.
- That requires manpower.
132
00:07:46,729 --> 00:07:50,368
- You've got men.
- It exposes me, Doug.
133
00:07:50,369 --> 00:07:54,009
I've always kept you informed
because you're an old pal and I trust you.
134
00:07:54,010 --> 00:07:55,610
But...
135
00:07:58,049 --> 00:07:59,848
We're talking
about an operation.
136
00:07:59,849 --> 00:08:03,490
I'm an old pal who now works
at the White House.
137
00:08:05,330 --> 00:08:07,648
Between old pals,
138
00:08:07,649 --> 00:08:11,610
I've been stuck at the
executive liaison for way too long.
139
00:08:13,890 --> 00:08:16,288
How worried are you that a mass
shooting could happen in a school
140
00:08:16,289 --> 00:08:21,449
in your community? Great deal,
somewhat, not so much, not at all, unsure.
141
00:08:21,450 --> 00:08:24,168
You sound hot. Are you hot?
142
00:08:24,169 --> 00:08:27,770
- Sir...
- Somewhat hot, a great deal hot?
143
00:09:06,409 --> 00:09:09,568
Lynchburg Children's,
Pediatric Division.
144
00:09:09,569 --> 00:09:12,209
Can I talk to Cheryl Posner?
145
00:09:12,210 --> 00:09:14,609
Sorry, she's on duty right now.
146
00:09:14,610 --> 00:09:18,010
- It's her daughter.
- Hold on one moment.
147
00:09:26,450 --> 00:09:29,168
Rachel? Rachel?
148
00:09:29,169 --> 00:09:32,370
Sweetheart, are you there?
Please don't...
149
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:39,889
- Hello?
- Hi, Mr. Jay, my name is Rachel
150
00:09:39,890 --> 00:09:42,809
and I'm calling on behalf
of the National Firearm Education Center.
151
00:09:42,810 --> 00:09:45,768
Would you be able to speak with
me briefly regarding firearm legislation
152
00:09:45,769 --> 00:09:47,808
and Second Amendment protection?
153
00:09:47,809 --> 00:09:51,009
So you're Willa's top choice.
154
00:09:51,010 --> 00:09:53,849
Why should you be my
husband's and my top choice?
155
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:57,168
Over the past ten years, the two
of you combined have gotten less coverage
156
00:09:57,169 --> 00:09:59,328
than the average junior
congressman from Nebraska.
157
00:09:59,329 --> 00:10:02,529
- Well, we don't seek the spotlight.
- I'm not suggesting you should.
158
00:10:02,530 --> 00:10:07,289
But am I correct in assuming that your
husband will be an active vice president?
159
00:10:07,290 --> 00:10:09,849
Well, it's harder to keep
an active VP out of the press than in it,
160
00:10:09,850 --> 00:10:13,488
but it's possible if we give the media
just enough to keep them from starving.
161
00:10:13,489 --> 00:10:17,769
- Where'd you grow up, Connor?
- Texas. Just like you.
162
00:10:17,770 --> 00:10:20,008
- Dallas?
- Lubbock.
163
00:10:20,009 --> 00:10:22,928
I had a much thicker accent
to get rid of than y'all.
164
00:10:22,929 --> 00:10:25,329
- How do you know I had one?
- Your first joint interview,
165
00:10:25,330 --> 00:10:27,450
when your husband was running
for state Assembly in '86.
166
00:10:29,690 --> 00:10:33,608
- That's on the Internet?
- No. No, I contacted the
local affiliate in Greenville.
167
00:10:33,609 --> 00:10:35,449
They wouldn't send me
the tapes via mail,
168
00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:37,169
so I went down there
and watched in their vault.
169
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:38,728
To South Carolina?
170
00:10:38,729 --> 00:10:42,409
When I want a job,
I do my homework.
171
00:10:44,889 --> 00:10:46,848
I look forward to seeing
what you come up with.
172
00:10:46,849 --> 00:10:48,370
Thank you, Mrs. Underwood.
173
00:10:51,609 --> 00:10:53,170
Thursday.
174
00:11:05,089 --> 00:11:07,289
I don't see how this
is a victory for us.
175
00:11:07,290 --> 00:11:10,248
Our choices are the freeze,
which the Democrats get blamed for, or...
176
00:11:10,249 --> 00:11:13,288
- Not necessarily, the Republi...
- Which we definitely get blamed for.
177
00:11:13,289 --> 00:11:15,968
- Or we offer them...
- Entitlements, Frank?
178
00:11:15,969 --> 00:11:17,728
We took a stand.
We can't turn back now.
179
00:11:17,729 --> 00:11:19,448
I'd rather see the
government grind to a halt.
180
00:11:19,449 --> 00:11:21,849
Think of the headline:
"Democratic Leadership
181
00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:24,288
Enacts Entitlement Reform,
Staves Off Freeze."
182
00:11:24,289 --> 00:11:26,848
We show unity.
We offer progress.
183
00:11:26,849 --> 00:11:30,409
Let's convert some
lifelong conservatives.
184
00:11:32,129 --> 00:11:33,928
You have Mendoza's assurance
he'll work with us?
185
00:11:33,929 --> 00:11:37,609
- I do.
- I don't want to put our necks out there
186
00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:39,369
just to have the
guillotine fall.
187
00:11:39,370 --> 00:11:42,649
You won't. My neck will be right
out there with you.
188
00:11:42,650 --> 00:11:47,729
Francis faints at the sight of blood.
He'd never let them break the skin.
189
00:11:47,730 --> 00:11:49,369
To unity.
190
00:12:08,769 --> 00:12:11,610
No, no, no, no, no, no. Come on.
191
00:12:19,890 --> 00:12:24,690
Larry, can you come by? Something weird's
going on with my computer. Thanks.
192
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:39,730
Come on!
193
00:12:44,810 --> 00:12:48,689
- Hey, what's the problem?
- Nothing. It's fine. I fixed it.
194
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:51,450
- OK. Cool.
- Yeah.
195
00:13:08,888 --> 00:13:11,609
- It's not as progressive as I'd like.
- You mean radical.
196
00:13:11,610 --> 00:13:16,168
Raising retirement age to
67 makes entitlements solvent until 2055.
197
00:13:16,169 --> 00:13:21,448
And it saves us over a trillion dollars
without a single penny of taxpayer income.
198
00:13:21,449 --> 00:13:23,448
Sixty-eight would give us
another 300 billion,
199
00:13:23,449 --> 00:13:25,088
and I'd like to
eliminate early retirement.
200
00:13:25,089 --> 00:13:26,688
- Entirely?
- Forget it.
201
00:13:26,689 --> 00:13:29,809
What about... 68 and 64?
202
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:32,128
I have a responsibility
to my constituents.
203
00:13:32,129 --> 00:13:34,609
- I promised I wouldn't waver...
- Are we really going to allow
204
00:13:34,610 --> 00:13:36,727
the tea party to determine
fiscal legislation?
205
00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:39,289
- Never been beholden to the tea party.
- Come on. You wouldn't have won
206
00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:42,088
reelection if their PACs hadn't dumped
ten million into your campaign.
207
00:13:42,089 --> 00:13:44,928
If their definition of budgetary
conservatism happens to overlap with mine,
208
00:13:44,929 --> 00:13:47,968
- that's a function of...
- Curtis, let's show some goodwill.
209
00:13:47,969 --> 00:13:51,127
- Can you stomach 68 and 64?
- Effective immediately?
210
00:13:51,128 --> 00:13:53,328
- Five years from now.
- Not interested.
211
00:13:53,329 --> 00:13:55,729
We can't throw this on people
without any warning.
212
00:13:55,730 --> 00:13:59,249
- They need some time to digest.
- I'm sorry, I just can't do it.
213
00:14:01,569 --> 00:14:04,529
OK, meet with your staff,
consult with your colleagues,
214
00:14:04,530 --> 00:14:06,289
I'll consult with mine
and let's talk tomorrow.
215
00:14:06,290 --> 00:14:10,049
- All right. I can agree to that.
- But this is a good first step.
216
00:14:20,089 --> 00:14:21,847
How do we make sure Curtis
can't filibuster
217
00:14:21,848 --> 00:14:24,048
- when we get the amendment passed?
- Assuming we do.
218
00:14:24,049 --> 00:14:26,008
Between you and me,
I'm sure we can turn him around.
219
00:14:26,009 --> 00:14:27,249
I just want to be
on the safe side.
220
00:14:27,250 --> 00:14:29,169
Make sure the
passage of the amendment
221
00:14:29,170 --> 00:14:31,968
- constitutes the passage of the bill.
- By previous agreement.
222
00:14:31,969 --> 00:14:34,088
We pass the amendment,
then we're done. Wham-bam.
223
00:14:34,089 --> 00:14:36,488
- Can we put that in writing?
- Have Erikson reach out to me.
224
00:14:36,489 --> 00:14:38,049
"Muchas gracias."
225
00:15:00,689 --> 00:15:02,449
Lucas Goodwin?
226
00:15:41,769 --> 00:15:43,849
Good evening, Lucas.
227
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:50,328
Speak into the microphone.
228
00:15:50,329 --> 00:15:53,128
- Who are you?
- Go to the home screen.
229
00:15:53,129 --> 00:15:56,248
- Open the other app.
- Tell me who you are.
230
00:15:56,249 --> 00:16:00,008
You've done your research.
You know who I am.
231
00:16:00,009 --> 00:16:02,248
Well, I know
who you claim to be.
232
00:16:02,249 --> 00:16:06,169
If you're not
convinced by now, goodbye.
233
00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:11,168
Wait a minute. Uh...
234
00:16:11,169 --> 00:16:14,449
- All right, I'm on the home screen.
- Open the notary app.
235
00:16:17,409 --> 00:16:18,728
What is this?
236
00:16:18,729 --> 00:16:20,808
To ensure you
aren't law enforcement.
237
00:16:20,809 --> 00:16:24,208
- I'm not.
- Then sign.
238
00:16:24,209 --> 00:16:28,410
- How? - Hold your thumb to
the camera and press "capture."
239
00:16:29,969 --> 00:16:32,128
How do I know you're
not law enforcement?
240
00:16:32,129 --> 00:16:34,849
Sign the document or walk away.
241
00:16:38,689 --> 00:16:41,529
All right. I did it.
242
00:16:41,530 --> 00:16:45,408
- Press "send."
- Where is this going?
243
00:16:45,409 --> 00:16:51,290
I'm VPNing through Iran and 12 other
countries, don't worry. It's secure.
244
00:16:53,249 --> 00:16:56,008
Now, one last thing.
245
00:16:56,009 --> 00:17:00,689
I need the two-step verification code
for the Herald's internal servers.
246
00:17:02,569 --> 00:17:05,087
- I don't even know
how to do that.
247
00:17:05,088 --> 00:17:08,249
- Yes, you do. Check your
e-mail.
248
00:17:14,330 --> 00:17:17,408
Destroy the iPad,
especially the serial number,
249
00:17:17,409 --> 00:17:20,768
and delete the e-mail
after you've memorized it.
250
00:17:20,769 --> 00:17:22,609
Good luck.
251
00:17:28,969 --> 00:17:30,769
Hello?
252
00:17:30,770 --> 00:17:32,690
Raymond, are you there?
253
00:17:34,129 --> 00:17:38,128
Yeah, uh, sorry, Frank, I...
254
00:17:38,129 --> 00:17:39,807
I thought I saw an Inca dove.
255
00:17:39,808 --> 00:17:41,928
It must have flown
the wrong direction for winter.
256
00:17:41,929 --> 00:17:45,209
- It sounds windy. Where are you?
- Top of my building.
257
00:17:45,210 --> 00:17:48,248
Got a bird feeder up here.
258
00:17:48,249 --> 00:17:51,448
Nice work with the president.
I hear we have a green light.
259
00:17:51,449 --> 00:17:56,569
He pushed back in the beginning but, yeah,
his writers are reworking the speech now.
260
00:17:56,570 --> 00:18:00,409
I'm very close to a deal.
Sixty-eight, 64 in five years.
261
00:18:00,410 --> 00:18:04,168
- Spending cuts as discussed.
- That rock solid?
262
00:18:04,169 --> 00:18:07,608
- Soon as we shake hands.
- What's the holdup?
263
00:18:07,609 --> 00:18:10,688
Curtis Haas, which isn't a surprise.
I'm meeting with him soon.
264
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:13,728
- He's the final hurdle.
- Cutting it pretty close, Frank.
265
00:18:13,729 --> 00:18:16,328
Well, this is...
this is historic.
266
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:19,967
The Republicans have wanted
entitlement reform since Johnson.
267
00:18:19,968 --> 00:18:23,007
Curtis will come around. In the meantime,
we should get the new retirement ages
268
00:18:23,008 --> 00:18:27,208
- into his speech.
- I would stay away from specifics.
269
00:18:27,209 --> 00:18:30,488
- I mean, even if it passes, the House...
- I know the House
270
00:18:30,489 --> 00:18:34,848
better than you know birds. Believe me
when I say they'll pass the Senate version.
271
00:18:34,849 --> 00:18:38,688
I'll talk to the president.
272
00:18:38,689 --> 00:18:42,088
- Just make sure this is airtight.
- Thank you. What is it?
273
00:18:42,089 --> 00:18:45,208
- Lucas Goodwin.
- From the Herald?
274
00:18:45,209 --> 00:18:47,048
He must have been
working with Zoe.
275
00:18:47,049 --> 00:18:49,608
- How much does he know?
- No more than she did.
276
00:18:49,609 --> 00:18:52,008
- She knew enough.
- I'm on it, sir.
277
00:18:52,009 --> 00:18:54,088
- Proof?
- Not yet.
278
00:18:54,089 --> 00:18:57,888
- Jesus, Doug. - It's under control.
I thought you should be aware.
279
00:18:57,889 --> 00:19:00,248
I'm juggling the president,
the Republicans, Tusk. I can't...
280
00:19:00,249 --> 00:19:05,409
And you should stay focused
on that. Goodwin's on my plate, not yours.
281
00:19:07,449 --> 00:19:09,529
It wasn't until the 20th century
282
00:19:09,530 --> 00:19:13,088
that the notion of noble objectivism
came into the forefront.
283
00:19:13,089 --> 00:19:16,767
- But facts are facts.
- Nineteen ninety-two.
284
00:19:16,768 --> 00:19:20,528
George Bush Sr. is shown asking how
a grocery scanner works,
285
00:19:20,529 --> 00:19:25,287
and he gets nailed for it.
they were showing him a new model.
286
00:19:25,288 --> 00:19:28,729
He was asking how the new one
was different than the old one.
287
00:19:28,730 --> 00:19:31,368
Curiosity, not ignorance.
288
00:19:31,369 --> 00:19:35,288
But the lack of context
told a more powerful narrative.
289
00:19:35,289 --> 00:19:39,128
There is no arrangement of facts
290
00:19:39,129 --> 00:19:41,288
that is purely objective.
291
00:19:41,289 --> 00:19:43,688
We can finally do something.
We have the means to act.
292
00:19:43,689 --> 00:19:45,528
Some teenage,
pimple-faced hacker...
293
00:19:45,529 --> 00:19:47,288
This was a
sophisticated infiltration.
294
00:19:47,289 --> 00:19:51,448
It's not the work of a child.
Look, here's the e-mail.
295
00:19:51,449 --> 00:19:54,608
"Heronymous Bot." The FBI's
been hunting him for years.
296
00:19:54,609 --> 00:19:56,448
- Listen to me...
- If we get these records,
297
00:19:56,449 --> 00:19:58,769
I'll need your help tracking
timelines, piecing together...
298
00:19:58,770 --> 00:20:01,727
No! You want somebody to hold
your hand and say it's OK to go on this
299
00:20:01,728 --> 00:20:03,848
fucking goose chase.
300
00:20:03,849 --> 00:20:06,847
You shouldn't be teaching in Ithaca.
You're better than that.
301
00:20:06,848 --> 00:20:08,607
- You should be back...
- I belong here.
302
00:20:08,608 --> 00:20:10,448
Droning on to a bunch
of hung over English majors?
303
00:20:10,449 --> 00:20:12,327
- Exactly.
- You're wrong about the truth.
304
00:20:12,328 --> 00:20:16,488
There is objective truth.
He killed her.
305
00:20:16,489 --> 00:20:18,128
You know it's a fact.
306
00:20:18,129 --> 00:20:21,689
Here's a fact: my mom has ten,
15 years left at best.
307
00:20:21,690 --> 00:20:25,048
I've seen her more in the past
month than since I left for school.
308
00:20:25,049 --> 00:20:30,449
It's simpler here. It's quiet.
I need that. She needs me.
309
00:20:35,569 --> 00:20:41,247
I'm sorry, Lucas. I'm sorry
that night how I reacted.
310
00:20:41,248 --> 00:20:42,969
I'm sorry you lost
your girlfriend.
311
00:20:44,369 --> 00:20:46,808
I'm sorry the world
is this fucked up.
312
00:20:46,809 --> 00:20:48,888
I really am.
313
00:20:48,889 --> 00:20:51,008
But I can't help you.
314
00:20:58,249 --> 00:20:59,769
Thank you.
315
00:21:05,489 --> 00:21:08,848
- Where's everyone else?
- I did you a disservice yesterday.
316
00:21:08,849 --> 00:21:11,488
We shouldn't have put you
on the spot in front of all the leadership.
317
00:21:11,489 --> 00:21:13,409
Have a seat, Curtis.
318
00:21:17,689 --> 00:21:21,168
We know that you have an obligation
to take a firm stance,
319
00:21:21,169 --> 00:21:24,688
but entitlement reform
is something you ran on,
320
00:21:24,689 --> 00:21:27,648
and now it's within your grasp.
321
00:21:27,649 --> 00:21:30,848
So tell us your fears.
322
00:21:30,849 --> 00:21:33,008
That the Democrats
get another win.
323
00:21:33,009 --> 00:21:35,807
We suffer in the midterms and
the next Congress dismantles the agreement.
324
00:21:35,808 --> 00:21:37,767
You think we're
being disingenuous.
325
00:21:37,768 --> 00:21:40,208
My constituents
don't trust the administration.
326
00:21:40,209 --> 00:21:42,648
I can't have them thinking the wool has
been pulled over our eyes.
327
00:21:42,649 --> 00:21:46,048
As I suspected. Hector?
328
00:21:46,049 --> 00:21:49,728
Frank and I propose this:
we include a super majority point of order
329
00:21:49,729 --> 00:21:51,968
against revisiting
the issue for ten years.
330
00:21:51,969 --> 00:21:55,128
You'll have it in black-and-white.
A serious, long-term commitment
331
00:21:55,129 --> 00:21:56,608
with no opportunity
to dismantle.
332
00:21:56,609 --> 00:21:59,047
That's on top of everything
else we asked for.
333
00:21:59,048 --> 00:22:01,168
VA services and FEMA
stay at current levels.
334
00:22:01,169 --> 00:22:04,528
Everything else at 80 to a hundred
percent of the cuts you propose.
335
00:22:04,529 --> 00:22:08,888
You get your win, Curtis.
We just avoid disaster.
336
00:22:08,889 --> 00:22:12,089
Maybe the country needs
to see what disaster looks like.
337
00:22:12,090 --> 00:22:16,208
The tea party is a strong voice,
and you're its bullhorn.
338
00:22:16,209 --> 00:22:21,809
Show your people that voice can translate
into law, and not just add to the noise.
339
00:22:24,968 --> 00:22:27,968
Fifteen years before
revisitation, not ten.
340
00:22:29,649 --> 00:22:32,368
- OK. - And if the House fails to pass
the bill after we do,
341
00:22:32,369 --> 00:22:35,409
you go on record blaming your
own party for the gridlock.
342
00:22:37,728 --> 00:22:40,249
I believe we have a deal.
343
00:22:55,089 --> 00:22:57,928
What are you listening to?
344
00:22:57,929 --> 00:23:00,528
- Sorry. I'll turn it down.
- No, it's nice.
345
00:23:00,529 --> 00:23:02,768
Can I listen?
346
00:23:02,769 --> 00:23:05,247
My ears are clean, I promise.
347
00:23:05,248 --> 00:23:09,368
OK.
348
00:23:09,369 --> 00:23:11,129
Thanks.
349
00:23:17,728 --> 00:23:19,888
- It's beautiful.
- Yeah.
350
00:23:19,889 --> 00:23:23,729
- It's so sad.
- It helps me relax.
351
00:23:24,889 --> 00:23:27,528
Long day?
352
00:23:27,529 --> 00:23:30,527
I work at a call center.
So yeah.
353
00:23:30,528 --> 00:23:32,967
Two hundred strangers an hour.
354
00:23:32,968 --> 00:23:35,928
I'll leave you alone. You probably
don't want to talk to another one.
355
00:23:35,929 --> 00:23:40,807
It's all right. As long as you don't
hang up on me.
356
00:23:40,808 --> 00:23:44,848
Do you ever just talk to them?
The strangers?
357
00:23:44,849 --> 00:23:48,529
- We're not allowed to. - All I would want
to do is ask them about who they are.
358
00:23:49,529 --> 00:23:50,968
What about you?
What do you do?
359
00:23:50,969 --> 00:23:55,608
I... I work at the bookstore,
360
00:23:55,609 --> 00:23:56,689
at the day-care center.
361
00:23:59,369 --> 00:24:02,847
I had that same look on my face the first
time somebody handed me one of those.
362
00:24:02,848 --> 00:24:06,328
- I'm just... I'm not religious.
- Just keep it.
363
00:24:06,329 --> 00:24:09,567
Check it out. Or don't.
364
00:24:09,568 --> 00:24:11,969
We've got really
good music there.
365
00:24:14,569 --> 00:24:16,529
Thank you.
366
00:24:27,648 --> 00:24:31,888
The House sent a bill to the
Senate. What Frank wants to
send back bears zero resemblance.
367
00:24:31,889 --> 00:24:33,887
Because it's bipartisan,
unlike ours.
368
00:24:33,888 --> 00:24:35,888
That sounds like
something Frank would say.
369
00:24:35,889 --> 00:24:38,848
- I'm not Frank.
- He has a desk in your office.
370
00:24:38,849 --> 00:24:41,848
- If this bill passes in the Senate...
- It won't.
371
00:24:41,849 --> 00:24:45,247
We should be prepared, Bob.
372
00:24:45,248 --> 00:24:50,448
Well, I'm prepared
to wait and see.
373
00:24:50,449 --> 00:24:53,527
Have a good afternoon, ladies.
374
00:24:53,528 --> 00:24:56,647
- Ladies?
- He's threatened.
375
00:24:56,648 --> 00:24:59,687
- He's a pig. - Give him time. He used to
have two white, middle-aged guys
376
00:24:59,688 --> 00:25:02,728
at his side. Now he's got a black guy and
a woman 20 years his junior.
377
00:25:02,729 --> 00:25:04,728
Who knows how to shoot a rifle.
378
00:25:04,729 --> 00:25:07,448
We just need to keep at him.
379
00:25:07,449 --> 00:25:10,569
- Yes?
- Catalina Rodriguez is on line four.
380
00:25:13,329 --> 00:25:15,089
Give me a moment.
381
00:25:21,888 --> 00:25:26,008
- Catalina.
- Ted told me it was you.
382
00:25:26,009 --> 00:25:29,567
- You there?
- Yes. I'm here.
383
00:25:29,568 --> 00:25:31,808
The press won't leave us alone.
For weeks.
384
00:25:31,809 --> 00:25:35,088
They're showing up, trying to
get pictures of me and Emily.
385
00:25:35,089 --> 00:25:38,767
- It wasn't me.
- You're the only one who knew.
386
00:25:38,768 --> 00:25:42,527
- I don't know how the story got out.
- Why would Ted lie about that?
387
00:25:42,528 --> 00:25:45,688
I don't know.
Maybe... maybe he's ashamed.
388
00:25:45,689 --> 00:25:47,967
So, what do I do?
When will they leave us alone?
389
00:25:47,968 --> 00:25:50,888
I... I don't know, Catalina.
390
00:25:50,889 --> 00:25:53,328
I can't live like this.
391
00:25:53,329 --> 00:25:55,648
I'm... I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say.
392
00:26:00,968 --> 00:26:04,687
How... how is Emily doing?
393
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:07,089
Catalina?
394
00:26:16,009 --> 00:26:20,408
- He's very confident.
- Yeah, but does he have what it takes?
395
00:26:20,409 --> 00:26:25,048
- We'll see when I get his media plan.
- What about his personality?
396
00:26:25,049 --> 00:26:29,607
Charming. Direct.
Very thorough.
397
00:26:29,608 --> 00:26:31,928
He found our first
interview together, in '86.
398
00:26:31,929 --> 00:26:34,968
I would love to see that.
Does he have a copy?
399
00:26:34,969 --> 00:26:37,648
I don't think so. The TV
station made him watch it there.
400
00:26:37,649 --> 00:26:40,167
We should screen that for the
president and the First Lady.
401
00:26:40,168 --> 00:26:42,888
- Show 'em how it's done.
- Christina.
402
00:26:42,889 --> 00:26:45,567
- What about her?
- Have you noticed anything strange
403
00:26:45,568 --> 00:26:48,927
- between her and the president?
- How do you mean?
404
00:26:48,928 --> 00:26:52,208
I passed them
in the hall yesterday.
405
00:26:52,209 --> 00:26:56,048
They seem, I don't know...
very intimate.
406
00:26:56,049 --> 00:26:59,768
They did seem cozy
at the prep session.
407
00:26:59,769 --> 00:27:04,086
- Do you think...?
- No. Not necessarily.
408
00:27:04,087 --> 00:27:06,207
An interesting thought, though.
409
00:27:06,208 --> 00:27:08,447
- Sorry to interrupt, sir.
- We're having lunch.
410
00:27:08,448 --> 00:27:11,448
The Republicans are backing out. Mendoza's
chief of staff just gave me the heads up.
411
00:27:11,449 --> 00:27:15,647
- Get Mendoza on the phone.
- It's Curtis Haas. He got cold feet.
412
00:27:15,648 --> 00:27:19,567
Too many cages. It's
really... kind of inconvenient,
413
00:27:19,568 --> 00:27:22,567
but, you know, people look at
them. It's kind of funny. And...
414
00:27:22,568 --> 00:27:24,607
- I got your e-mail.
- Now good for you?
415
00:27:24,608 --> 00:27:28,487
Yeah, sure.
Can I call you right back?
416
00:27:28,488 --> 00:27:30,247
What exactly did you
need to know?
417
00:27:30,248 --> 00:27:32,487
We're doing some follow-up pieces
on the cyberwarfare thing.
418
00:27:32,488 --> 00:27:34,688
I just wanted to get
a layman's understanding
419
00:27:34,689 --> 00:27:36,967
of how the Chinese might
get through a firewall.
420
00:27:36,968 --> 00:27:39,327
It's a bit complicated,
but I can show you the basics.
421
00:27:39,328 --> 00:27:40,808
That's all I need.
422
00:27:56,689 --> 00:27:58,968
We use a standard
N-tier architecture.
423
00:27:58,969 --> 00:28:01,967
Think of it like a big sandwich,
with layers of bread.
424
00:28:01,968 --> 00:28:06,328
Between each is the lettuce, the tomato,
the roast beef, you know, whatever.
425
00:28:06,329 --> 00:28:09,767
What I'm pulling up here is the
org code which separates the database...
426
00:28:09,768 --> 00:28:12,487
Shit, I forgot there's a meeting
with sales in a couple minutes.
427
00:28:12,488 --> 00:28:14,567
- You wanna do this later?
- No, I'll just run over
428
00:28:14,568 --> 00:28:16,767
and let them know I'll be
a few minutes late. Be right back.
429
00:28:16,768 --> 00:28:18,568
Cool. I'll be here.
430
00:28:34,568 --> 00:28:36,849
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
431
00:28:39,488 --> 00:28:41,849
Yeah.
432
00:28:51,328 --> 00:28:54,608
Come on.
433
00:28:58,688 --> 00:29:00,648
OK.
434
00:29:07,769 --> 00:29:11,888
Delete. Go.
435
00:29:13,408 --> 00:29:16,127
- Something wrong?
- Can't find my phone.
436
00:29:16,128 --> 00:29:17,648
It's weird,
I had it a minute ago.
437
00:29:22,809 --> 00:29:25,008
Oh!
438
00:29:25,009 --> 00:29:27,647
- Here it is. Sorry about that.
- No problem.
439
00:29:27,648 --> 00:29:32,568
So the N-tier architecture, the
hi-tech sandwich I was talking about....
440
00:29:32,569 --> 00:29:34,807
I thought Mendoza was
willing to work with us.
441
00:29:34,808 --> 00:29:37,727
He is. The problem
is Curtis Haas.
442
00:29:37,728 --> 00:29:41,127
- And have you spoken with him?
- His office isn't returning our calls.
443
00:29:41,128 --> 00:29:43,847
- Neither is Mendoza's, but...
- I should've stuck to my guns.
444
00:29:43,848 --> 00:29:47,608
The vote isn't until tomorrow afternoon.
I'll reach out to Mendoza...
445
00:29:47,609 --> 00:29:53,008
This is the State of the Union,
Frank. I won't be left in limbo.
446
00:29:53,009 --> 00:29:56,327
If we need to start rewriting that
speech now, I don't want to waste a minute.
447
00:29:56,328 --> 00:29:58,927
I can turn this around, sir.
448
00:29:58,928 --> 00:30:02,527
Raymond told me this was your
idea, to pursue this compromise.
449
00:30:02,528 --> 00:30:06,168
- I suggested it as an option.
- No, he said you bullied him into it.
450
00:30:06,169 --> 00:30:08,368
That he thought
it was a mistake.
451
00:30:08,369 --> 00:30:11,167
If he felt so strongly,
452
00:30:11,168 --> 00:30:13,287
he should've have
advised you otherwise.
453
00:30:13,288 --> 00:30:16,647
Raymond's not a politician.
He relies on our political expertise
454
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,527
as much as we rely
on his business acumen.
455
00:30:18,528 --> 00:30:20,967
Maybe we shouldn't
point fingers until there's a problem.
456
00:30:20,968 --> 00:30:23,487
- You wouldn't call this a problem?
- Not if it's solved
457
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:25,768
before it becomes one.
458
00:30:27,328 --> 00:30:30,607
You see, I wanted a vice president
who can manage Congress,
459
00:30:30,608 --> 00:30:32,888
not one who bites off
more than he can chew.
460
00:30:32,889 --> 00:30:35,367
Then have faith you made
the right choice, sir.
461
00:30:35,368 --> 00:30:38,648
Whatever faith I have...
is quickly evaporating.
462
00:30:38,649 --> 00:30:43,047
Don't humiliate the administration, Frank.
You're part of it now.
463
00:30:43,048 --> 00:30:46,967
- Yes, sir.
- We're done.
464
00:30:46,968 --> 00:30:49,369
Thank you, Mr. President.
465
00:30:55,369 --> 00:30:56,967
Give me the private line,
please.
466
00:30:56,968 --> 00:31:00,607
Tusk is blocking my way.
Goodwin at my heels.
467
00:31:00,608 --> 00:31:02,367
There can be no false steps now.
468
00:31:02,368 --> 00:31:05,848
The higher up the mountain,
the more treacherous the path.
469
00:31:05,849 --> 00:31:09,047
Lucas Goodwin went up
to visit her.
470
00:31:09,048 --> 00:31:11,608
- They may be looking for you.
- Nobody's contacted me.
471
00:31:11,609 --> 00:31:13,167
I don't think anyone
knows I'm here.
472
00:31:13,168 --> 00:31:15,687
We need to make sure
it stays that way.
473
00:31:15,688 --> 00:31:19,129
Don't speak to anyone you don't have to.
Don't go anywhere you don't need to be.
474
00:31:21,209 --> 00:31:24,768
- Tell me you heard what I said.
- I heard you. I get it.
475
00:31:38,968 --> 00:31:40,808
I'm fine.
476
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:46,129
- Let me put some ice on it.
- I said it's OK.
477
00:32:10,289 --> 00:32:12,127
What is this?
478
00:32:12,128 --> 00:32:14,248
What, are you going
through my garbage now?
479
00:32:17,408 --> 00:32:19,208
Someone gave it
to me on the bus.
480
00:32:29,008 --> 00:32:32,848
You let me know
if anyone contacts you.
481
00:33:04,808 --> 00:33:07,687
- Hey.
- Hey. Sorry I'm late.
482
00:33:07,688 --> 00:33:09,448
No worries.
483
00:33:22,208 --> 00:33:25,087
How much more you wanna
do right now? Fill in this area?
484
00:33:25,088 --> 00:33:27,407
Yeah, and one
more poppy down here.
485
00:33:27,408 --> 00:33:30,127
- That's a lot for one sitting.
- I know.
486
00:33:30,128 --> 00:33:32,008
OK.
487
00:34:02,128 --> 00:34:04,168
Francis?
488
00:34:12,128 --> 00:34:16,407
- You're heading in?
- Mendoza's an early riser.
489
00:34:16,408 --> 00:34:20,848
- You'll figure this out. - I need to prove
what the vice president is capable of.
490
00:34:20,849 --> 00:34:24,888
Don't prove it to them.
Prove it to me.
491
00:34:28,648 --> 00:34:31,527
Curtis has me by the
tea bags, Frank. I don't have
a working majority without him.
492
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:35,486
- He wasn't elected leader.
- True. But I have to pick my battles.
493
00:34:35,487 --> 00:34:37,406
If you can't control him
on budgetary issues...
494
00:34:37,407 --> 00:34:40,126
It's not just him. It's the 15
senators he has under his thumb.
495
00:34:40,127 --> 00:34:41,968
I won't be the leader next year
if they turn on me.
496
00:34:41,969 --> 00:34:43,687
So he wants to be courted.
Sit him down...
497
00:34:43,688 --> 00:34:45,808
I already tried talking
to him. He wouldn't budge.
498
00:34:45,809 --> 00:34:47,767
- We'll both talk.
- He's made his position clear.
499
00:34:47,768 --> 00:34:49,607
We all shook hands
at this table.
500
00:34:49,608 --> 00:34:51,927
The most I can do is put
the substitute amendment on the floor
501
00:34:51,928 --> 00:34:55,687
with limited debate. And your people
can say whatever they want for the record,
502
00:34:55,688 --> 00:34:57,127
but we're gonna vote
the amendment down.
503
00:34:57,128 --> 00:35:01,048
I'm not interested
in symbolic gestures.
504
00:35:01,049 --> 00:35:03,487
Well, that's all I can offer.
505
00:35:03,488 --> 00:35:08,527
- Where's your courage?
- My power has limits, Frank.
506
00:35:08,528 --> 00:35:11,247
Five Republicans makes
you the deciding vote.
507
00:35:11,248 --> 00:35:14,127
Now, it's highly doubtful we can get
them to vote against their own party.
508
00:35:14,128 --> 00:35:16,367
- But they might abstain.
- - You'd need ten.
509
00:35:16,368 --> 00:35:19,327
Entitlement is the Republicans' white
whale. I can get at least two to flip.
510
00:35:19,328 --> 00:35:20,687
Then you'd only
need six abstaining.
511
00:35:20,688 --> 00:35:22,127
Erikson's already making calls.
512
00:35:22,128 --> 00:35:24,007
- Donner.
- And Pulaski.
513
00:35:24,008 --> 00:35:25,967
Get me a call list
so I can tag-team with him.
514
00:35:25,968 --> 00:35:27,088
Got it right here.
515
00:35:27,089 --> 00:35:29,207
We have to get medieval.
516
00:35:29,208 --> 00:35:31,608
When it comes to parliamentary
procedure, there's not a rule I don't know.
517
00:35:31,609 --> 00:35:33,447
Find me the ones we can bend.
518
00:35:33,448 --> 00:35:37,407
Mark, you're a sensible man.
519
00:35:37,408 --> 00:35:42,407
Yes, I... I know. I understand.
520
00:35:42,408 --> 00:35:44,127
What if...
521
00:35:44,128 --> 00:35:47,928
Tell you what, what if both
VA hospitals in your district...
522
00:35:47,929 --> 00:35:49,727
Yes, both of them. Hold on.
523
00:35:49,728 --> 00:35:51,768
- Who?
- Moriarty. I promised him an amendment
524
00:35:51,769 --> 00:35:53,126
for his bovine research center.
525
00:35:53,127 --> 00:35:55,166
- That makes six.
- Mark, if I can get you
526
00:35:55,167 --> 00:35:59,608
funding for both,
are you with us? Excellent.
527
00:35:59,609 --> 00:36:02,328
Well, you come by the White House
and have lunch with me sometime soon.
528
00:36:02,329 --> 00:36:04,447
Bye-bye. We have the numbers.
529
00:36:04,448 --> 00:36:06,887
Once you break the quorum call,
it's gonna be a little tricky.
530
00:36:06,888 --> 00:36:08,007
Tell me on the way.
531
00:36:08,008 --> 00:36:09,807
Sir.
532
00:36:09,808 --> 00:36:13,367
- Sir, we might not have a majority.
- What?
533
00:36:13,368 --> 00:36:16,447
The Dems are poaching people.
Donner, Pulaski. Maybe more.
534
00:36:16,448 --> 00:36:18,887
- Voting for the amendment?
- Some. Others abstaining.
535
00:36:18,888 --> 00:36:21,127
- I'm still trying to figure out who.
- We need to delay
536
00:36:21,128 --> 00:36:23,728
- and figure out what is going on.
- Quorum call.
537
00:36:23,729 --> 00:36:27,128
There's 49 hours until the
recess. We call a name an hour.
538
00:36:36,568 --> 00:36:39,008
- Mr. Avendale?
- Here.
539
00:36:49,488 --> 00:36:53,328
Excuse me, I do believe
you're sitting in my chair.
540
00:36:57,567 --> 00:37:00,088
Mr. Drewery, what is the order
of business?
541
00:37:00,089 --> 00:37:03,486
- We are in a quorum call, sir.
- Then why aren't you calling the roll?
542
00:37:03,487 --> 00:37:07,208
- We are, sir, in a deliberate manner.
- Let's speed it up.
543
00:37:08,528 --> 00:37:11,647
- Mr. Brown.
- Here.
544
00:37:11,648 --> 00:37:13,886
- More expeditious than that.
- Mr. Burr.
545
00:37:13,887 --> 00:37:15,127
- Here.
- Ms. Cantwell.
546
00:37:15,128 --> 00:37:16,607
- Here.
- Mr. Cerini.
547
00:37:21,368 --> 00:37:22,967
- Thank you.
- Cornwall.
548
00:37:22,968 --> 00:37:24,247
- Here.
- Mr. Colson.
549
00:37:24,248 --> 00:37:25,487
- Here.
- Ms. Douster.
550
00:37:25,488 --> 00:37:27,367
Here.
551
00:37:27,368 --> 00:37:29,848
They have a quorum.
We don't have the numbers.
552
00:37:29,849 --> 00:37:32,966
- Out, let's get all our people out.
- Mr. Demerell.
553
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:35,407
- Mr. Darling. Mr. Daswani.
- Here.
554
00:37:35,408 --> 00:37:37,127
- Mr. Donner.
- Faster.
555
00:37:37,128 --> 00:37:39,127
- Mr. Dobben. Mr. Dwyer.
- Here.
556
00:37:39,128 --> 00:37:42,328
- Erinburgh, Engle, Erikson.
- Here.
557
00:37:42,329 --> 00:37:45,968
Mr. Feld. Farrison. Gentry.
558
00:37:48,408 --> 00:37:49,888
Mr. Haas.
559
00:37:51,048 --> 00:37:52,327
- Mr. Whitehouse.
- Here.
560
00:37:52,328 --> 00:37:55,087
Mr. Wicker. Mr. Wyden.
561
00:37:55,088 --> 00:37:59,488
Mr. President,
a quorum is not present.
562
00:38:04,048 --> 00:38:06,927
The chair recognizes the
minority leader, Mr. Erikson.
563
00:38:06,928 --> 00:38:11,727
Mr. President, "I move to direct the
sergeant at arms to compel the attendance
564
00:38:11,728 --> 00:38:15,247
of absent senators, that
warrants for the arrests of all senators
565
00:38:15,248 --> 00:38:20,207
not sick nor excused be issued under
the signature of the presiding officer."
566
00:38:20,208 --> 00:38:22,648
The question is on the motion,
all those in favor say aye.
567
00:38:22,649 --> 00:38:24,926
- Aye.
- All those opposed nay.
568
00:38:24,927 --> 00:38:27,487
- Nay! - The ayes have it,
and the motion is agreed to.
569
00:38:27,488 --> 00:38:31,248
The sergeant of arms is hereby
instructed to compel the
attendance of absent senators.
570
00:38:39,648 --> 00:38:43,127
It feels good
to be back in Congress.
571
00:38:43,128 --> 00:38:45,487
The Democrats have now empowered
the Capitol Police
572
00:38:45,488 --> 00:38:47,887
to arrest absent members
if necessary.
573
00:38:47,888 --> 00:38:50,287
According to Republican
Senator Curtis Haas,
574
00:38:50,288 --> 00:38:53,007
one of the staunchest opponents
of the entitlement amendment,
575
00:38:53,008 --> 00:38:56,248
the vice president is, quote:
"Replacing democracy with tyranny.
576
00:38:56,249 --> 00:39:01,048
He's transformed the Senate into
a police state within the Capitol." But...
577
00:39:01,049 --> 00:39:04,126
Well, it'll be even harder
to stay out of the news now.
578
00:39:04,127 --> 00:39:08,647
- Then why the joint interview?
- I watched the South Carolina one again.
579
00:39:08,648 --> 00:39:12,006
Convinced them to make me
a copy. It's powerful.
580
00:39:12,007 --> 00:39:14,167
Here you go.
I thought you might want it.
581
00:39:14,168 --> 00:39:17,886
There's a moment where
you ran your fingers through his hair.
582
00:39:17,887 --> 00:39:20,687
It's intimate. Human.
That moment alone
583
00:39:20,688 --> 00:39:22,207
would've made me want
to vote for your husband.
584
00:39:22,208 --> 00:39:26,167
Something like that
will buy you months
585
00:39:26,168 --> 00:39:27,687
of flying beneath the radar.
586
00:39:27,688 --> 00:39:30,167
And who do you have in mind
to conduct the interview?
587
00:39:30,168 --> 00:39:32,248
Does this mean I have the job?
588
00:39:33,848 --> 00:39:35,767
It means you still
haven't been ruled out.
589
00:39:35,768 --> 00:39:38,288
Well, I'll
consider that progress.
590
00:40:03,928 --> 00:40:07,207
This is the Democratic cloak room, Hector.
Yours is on the other side.
591
00:40:07,208 --> 00:40:10,767
- What you're doing won't work.
- It might.
592
00:40:10,768 --> 00:40:14,767
Which is why you made the long walk
over here. Ice water?
593
00:40:14,768 --> 00:40:17,327
I have my people in planes,
trains and automobiles.
594
00:40:17,328 --> 00:40:19,567
All I need is six
to make my quorum.
595
00:40:19,568 --> 00:40:23,367
Think what I can do with
26 votes, and I've got 45.
596
00:40:23,368 --> 00:40:26,046
You won't be able to get your planes
and trains back here fast enough.
597
00:40:26,047 --> 00:40:27,367
I'll roll those dice.
598
00:40:27,368 --> 00:40:31,327
The sergeant at arms
is very good at his job.
599
00:40:31,328 --> 00:40:35,167
And this is the perfect way
to show Curtis who's in charge.
600
00:40:35,168 --> 00:40:38,767
- I'm doing you a favor, Hector.
- Tell me what you want.
601
00:40:38,768 --> 00:40:41,368
What I've always wanted.
The package we shook hands on.
602
00:40:42,728 --> 00:40:45,006
Then I'll give you
your Senate back.
603
00:40:45,007 --> 00:40:48,887
- They can't come back voluntarily?
- Pick your six best actors.
604
00:40:48,888 --> 00:40:52,766
- We can't give in, Hector.
- We wouldn't be in this situation
605
00:40:52,767 --> 00:40:54,768
had you toed the party line.
606
00:40:57,928 --> 00:41:01,087
- Mr. Mendoza is present.
- Under protest.
607
00:41:01,088 --> 00:41:04,047
- Ms. Cornwall is present.
- Under protest.
608
00:41:04,048 --> 00:41:07,086
Mr. Ullman is present.
Mr. Walsh is present.
609
00:41:07,087 --> 00:41:09,447
Ms. Douster is present
and Mr. Haas is present.
610
00:41:09,448 --> 00:41:13,047
- Mr. President, a quorum is now present.
- You can pass the amendment.
611
00:41:13,048 --> 00:41:16,006
- I'll just filibuster the main bill.
- No, you won't.
612
00:41:16,007 --> 00:41:18,247
- Watch me.
- As much as I'd like to see you
613
00:41:18,248 --> 00:41:21,367
hold your piss for two days,
we struck a deal with Hector.
614
00:41:21,368 --> 00:41:25,847
Passage of the substitute amendment
constitutes passage of the main bill.
615
00:41:25,848 --> 00:41:29,126
- I wasn't informed of that.
- Pay attention to the fine print, Curtis.
616
00:41:29,127 --> 00:41:31,607
It's far more important than
the selling price. Let's go.
617
00:41:31,608 --> 00:41:34,607
I want an immediate call to the roll.
Don't let half a second pass.
618
00:41:34,608 --> 00:41:37,287
- Yes, sir.
- A quorum is present.
619
00:41:37,288 --> 00:41:40,727
The question is on the adoption
of the substitute amendment to HR 934,
620
00:41:40,728 --> 00:41:43,646
the yeas and nays have been
ordered and the clerk will call the roll.
621
00:41:43,647 --> 00:41:45,406
- Mr. Abner.
- Aye!
622
00:41:45,407 --> 00:41:47,006
- Mr. Avendale.
- Aye!
623
00:41:47,007 --> 00:41:48,366
Mr. Brown.
624
00:41:48,367 --> 00:41:50,127
I'd like to propose an amendment
to HR 934.
625
00:41:50,128 --> 00:41:52,286
Mr. Haas, you are out of order,
the roll call has begun,
626
00:41:52,287 --> 00:41:55,847
- the clerk will continue to call roll.
- Mr. Brown. Mr. Burr.
627
00:41:55,848 --> 00:41:57,406
- Aye!
- Ms. Catwell.
628
00:41:57,407 --> 00:41:58,727
- Aye!
- Mr. Cerini.
629
00:41:58,728 --> 00:42:00,047
- Aye!
- Mr. Chess.
630
00:42:00,048 --> 00:42:01,447
- Aye!
- Ms. Cornwall.
631
00:42:01,448 --> 00:42:03,047
- Nay!
- Mr. Colson.
632
00:43:00,848 --> 00:43:03,727
- Hey.
- Hey.
633
00:43:03,728 --> 00:43:06,647
- I'm glad you came.
- Yeah, me too.
634
00:43:06,648 --> 00:43:12,247
- What did you think?
- The music was really beautiful.
635
00:43:12,248 --> 00:43:16,647
- Not what you expected?
- I wasn't sure what to expect.
636
00:43:18,168 --> 00:43:21,167
- I'm Lisa.
- Rachel. Sorry.
637
00:43:21,168 --> 00:43:25,367
No. We've got cookies
and cake inside, if you...
638
00:43:25,368 --> 00:43:29,047
- I think I'm gonna...
- If you want to meet some of my friends.
639
00:43:30,648 --> 00:43:32,206
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
640
00:43:32,207 --> 00:43:34,688
- OK. Yeah.
- OK.
641
00:43:38,008 --> 00:43:41,287
We should add miracle worker
to your résumé, Frank.
642
00:43:41,288 --> 00:43:43,887
Lazarus makes
for a good magic act,
643
00:43:43,888 --> 00:43:46,526
but life would've been a lot easier if
the bastard hadn't died in the first place.
644
00:43:46,527 --> 00:43:50,927
Well, the president wanted to go ballistic,
but I calmed him down.
645
00:43:50,928 --> 00:43:53,527
I said don't worry,
Frank will pull this out.
646
00:43:53,528 --> 00:43:56,807
Did you? I don't blame you
for being two-faced, Raymond.
647
00:43:56,808 --> 00:43:58,526
It's good politics, as long
as you don't get caught at it.
648
00:43:58,527 --> 00:44:00,527
Now, Frank,
if you think that I...
649
00:44:00,528 --> 00:44:01,886
It's OK, Raymond.
650
00:44:01,887 --> 00:44:04,967
Jesus forgives you. Good night.
651
00:44:25,168 --> 00:44:28,127
Hello?
652
00:44:32,168 --> 00:44:34,047
Hello?
653
00:44:38,808 --> 00:44:42,287
- Care for some wine?
- No.
654
00:44:46,806 --> 00:44:48,688
Step into the room.
655
00:44:52,328 --> 00:44:54,767
Closer. Closer.
656
00:44:56,007 --> 00:44:58,046
- State your name and the date.
- Wait, why?
657
00:44:58,047 --> 00:45:00,527
State your name and the date,
please.
658
00:45:02,047 --> 00:45:05,206
Lucas Goodwin. February 13th.
659
00:45:05,207 --> 00:45:08,606
- Year.
- Two thousand fourteen.
660
00:45:08,607 --> 00:45:10,686
Are you currently or have
you ever been a member...
661
00:45:10,687 --> 00:45:12,326
- What is this?
- Are you or have you ever been
662
00:45:12,327 --> 00:45:14,127
a member of any
law enforcement agency?
663
00:45:14,128 --> 00:45:17,167
- I already told you I wasn't.
- Two-step verification.
664
00:45:17,168 --> 00:45:19,526
No. I'm not and I haven't.
665
00:45:19,527 --> 00:45:22,967
Are you currently or have you ever been an
informant for law enforcement?
666
00:45:22,968 --> 00:45:25,007
- No.
- - You think you might've been followed?
667
00:45:25,008 --> 00:45:27,246
- Anything strange the past few weeks?
- You know what?
668
00:45:27,247 --> 00:45:28,407
This is making me feel
uncomfortable.
669
00:45:28,408 --> 00:45:30,647
We're not fucking around here.
670
00:45:30,648 --> 00:45:34,046
If you think the FBI hasn't been
tracking your posts, then you're naive.
671
00:45:34,047 --> 00:45:40,327
- You think they know who I am?
- No, you hid yourself well.
672
00:45:40,328 --> 00:45:41,886
What are you going to do
with the Herald?
673
00:45:41,887 --> 00:45:44,047
- Nothing.
- Then why did you want access?
674
00:45:44,048 --> 00:45:46,606
I already had access. It's how I contacted
you in the first place.
675
00:45:46,607 --> 00:45:50,008
I just needed to know
if you were serious.
676
00:45:53,567 --> 00:45:58,567
That's Cashew.
677
00:45:58,568 --> 00:46:01,287
Why did you contact me?
678
00:46:02,568 --> 00:46:04,687
Because you're desperate.
679
00:46:07,368 --> 00:46:09,566
And I'm not fond of authority.
680
00:46:09,567 --> 00:46:13,167
Just today, under the leadership
of Vice President Underwood,
681
00:46:13,168 --> 00:46:16,326
the Senate passed HR 934,
682
00:46:16,327 --> 00:46:20,046
along with an historic
entitlement reform amendment.
683
00:46:20,047 --> 00:46:23,806
By raising the retirement age
to 68 and 64
684
00:46:23,807 --> 00:46:26,926
for normal and early
retirement respectively,
685
00:46:26,927 --> 00:46:30,968
we will ensure entitlements
for generations to come.
686
00:46:40,167 --> 00:46:44,286
And when the House passes that bill in
a few weeks, as I fully expect them to do,
687
00:46:44,287 --> 00:46:47,287
we will put the government
freeze to rest.
688
00:46:47,288 --> 00:46:53,126
We will continue the business of serving
our country rather than paralyzing it.
689
00:46:53,127 --> 00:46:55,846
The American people
deserve no less.
690
00:46:55,847 --> 00:46:59,927
We stand at the
altar of democracy.
691
00:46:59,928 --> 00:47:03,367
Let us stand together.
692
00:47:09,087 --> 00:47:13,487
I spoke to Jackie. You have
my support in the House.
693
00:47:13,488 --> 00:47:15,806
But it hasn't passed
the House yet.
694
00:47:15,807 --> 00:47:19,127
We've a long march before it
arrives on the president's desk.
695
00:47:19,128 --> 00:47:23,087
As for me, I used to be
on the edge of the frame.
696
00:47:23,088 --> 00:47:26,928
Now, I'm only three feet away.
697
00:47:28,453 --> 00:49:45,110
