2
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,805
It's there
for leverage,
3
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,928
so that we can lock down
performance standards.
4
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,684
You don't toss
around their right
5
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,524
to collective bargaining
like a poker chip.
6
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,045
If we don't,
they won't budge.
7
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,929
Has Marty Spinella
seen this?
8
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,405
Not in the version
I showed him.
9
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,124
- So you lied to his face?
- No.
10
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,761
I revised the parameters
of my promise.
11
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,001
Which is lying.
12
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,121
Which is politics.
13
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,481
The sort you're
well-versed in, Bob.
14
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,965
Here's some
politics for you.
15
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,168
I allow this to
go to the floor,
16
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,810
I get murdered
next election.
17
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,889
This is coming
from the President.
18
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,964
Last time I checked, I was
still a Democrat, Frank,
19
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,762
and you were, too. Are you
telling me the President isn't?
20
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Because he's acting a hell
of a lot like a Republican.
21
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,245
I thought Bob
was on our team.
22
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,727
Just sit him down with the President.
Ten minutes.
23
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,564
We won't touch
collective bargaining.
24
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,290
Are you interested
in my advice on this,
25
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,725
or you just want me to
deliver the message?
26
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,609
I'm always interested
in your advice, Frank.
27
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,286
Birch is right. You're going
to burn a lot of bridges.
28
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,646
The President should
at least sit down with him
29
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,091
and let him
make his case.
30
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,006
You tell Bob I'm happy to schedule
a meeting with the President
31
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,128
once he's set a date to put
this bill on the floor.
32
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,845
The President can fuck himself.
33
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,287
This is the platform.
It's what he ran on.
34
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,604
I don't give a shit what he ran on.
He can't steamroll the House.
35
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,411
And don't forget, you work
for me, Frank, not him.
36
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,090
If he wants something
on the floor,
37
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,850
he's gonna have to
talk to me directly.
38
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,605
I know you take a lot of
pride in your manhood, Bob,
39
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,409
and it's impressive,
40
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,450
but as big as it is, Linda can
still shut the door on it.
41
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,011
Tell Vasquez
the bill is dead.
42
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,329
That's not the first time
he's pulled that stunt on me.
43
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,526
Probably should
have held my tongue,
44
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,046
but I just couldn't resist the
chance to see him shrivel.
45
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:16,921
Good morning.
46
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,041
Frank.
47
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,606
Mr. President.
48
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,529
Linda.
49
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,843
Let's strike the anti-collective
bargaining provision from the bill.
50
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:26,967
Linda and I have
talked it over,
51
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,041
and I think
she's right on this.
52
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,963
Tell Bob he can come by
tomorrow afternoon.
53
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,724
Sir, respectfully,
I do not think
54
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,569
you should give
him the satisfaction.
55
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,161
Well, give me a reason.
56
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,526
Makes us appear weak.
57
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,366
This is an opportunity for you
to establish your supremacy.
58
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,926
We should seize it.
59
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,240
But without
Birch's cooperation,
60
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,566
we're fighting
an uphill battle
61
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,802
before we even get the bill to the floor.
Frank, we discussed this.
62
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,644
Sir, if you
give in now,
63
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,123
Birch will walk all over you
for the next four years.
64
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,927
I can get this bill on the House floor as is.
I promise you.
65
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,485
All right, Frank.
Show me what you can do.
66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,561
Thank you,
Mr. President.
67
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,560
That was her trying to
take credit for my idea.
68
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,246
Advice she wouldn't take
from me. Unacceptable.
69
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,890
I will not allow
her to sell my goods
70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,570
when she cuts me
out of the profits.
71
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,405
I specifically told
her no interviews.
72
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,767
She disobeyed me,
not just once.
73
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:21,444
At least eight
times in the past month.
74
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,726
She stays, Tom.
75
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,087
She has no respect for
my authority, Margaret.
76
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,123
I said she stays.
77
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,841
There are rules. There's
a way of doing things.
78
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,251
If I have a reporter
who won't listen...
79
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,130
Two freshmen girls are moving
into their dorm room together.
80
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,249
One of them's from Georgia, one
of them's from Connecticut.
81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,324
Girl from Connecticut's helping
her mother put up curtains.
82
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,086
Girl from Georgia turns to them and says, "Hi.
Where y'all from?"
83
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,364
Girl from Connecticut says,
"We're from a place
84
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,046
"where we know not to end a
sentence with a preposition. "
85
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,727
Girl from Georgia says,
"Beg my pardon.
86
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,245
"Where y'all from...
87
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,367
"Cunt?"
88
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,244
You heard that one before?
89
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:00,965
A version of it.
With softer language.
90
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,122
Tom, we don't need people
who follow the rules.
91
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,651
We need people
with personality.
92
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,891
We want Zoe's face,
her energy.
93
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:10,328
We want to get her on
TV as much as possible.
94
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,641
It helps us cut
through the noise.
95
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,529
See what I'm saying?
96
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,006
I hear you, Margaret.
97
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,205
Thank you, Tom.
98
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,525
Thank you.
99
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:29,884
Come in.
100
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,007
Oh, I thought...
101
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,805
I wanted to say
hi to Evelyn.
102
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,526
Evelyn?
103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,244
This was her office.
104
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:43,205
I don't think she
works here anymore.
105
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,966
- Oh.
- Gillian Cole.
106
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,650
I came on board
a couple weeks ago.
107
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,201
Gillian. WorldWell.
108
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,809
- Yeah.
- I've heard great things.
109
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,401
Remy Danton.
110
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,130
You work with Claire?
111
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,201
In a way.
112
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,161
- Hello, Remy.
- Claire.
113
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,681
I see you've
met Gillian.
114
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:00,927
Yes, just now.
115
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,083
She's doing fantastic work
for us, as you can see.
116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,324
Red is completed wells,
green, potential sites,
117
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,121
yellow, approved sites, and blue
are the filtration centers.
118
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,681
Nice. So you
liking it here?
119
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,963
Yeah. My staff
and I are loving it.
120
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,201
Claire's opened
a lot of doors for us.
121
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,641
Sounds like Claire.
122
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,769
Shall we head
to my office?
123
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,009
- Gillian, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
124
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,081
What happened?
125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,967
Things got complicated.
126
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,885
SanCorp was in
a difficult situation.
127
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,890
I would have thought you'd step
up when things were difficult,
128
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,570
not hold the
donation hostage.
129
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,484
Well, things are
less complicated now.
130
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,561
The donation is
back on the table.
131
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,167
I had to fire
half my staff.
132
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,287
Now you can
hire them back.
133
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,401
SanCorp is prepared to double
its initial commitment.
134
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,491
$1.5 million,
lump sum, this quarter.
135
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,403
- Why?
- Public relations. Same as before.
136
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,450
And what do they
want from Francis?
137
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,605
Things are square with Frank.
We're only talking about the CWI.
138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,681
But why double it?
139
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,966
Because I said
they should.
140
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,083
The more they give,
the more you can do.
141
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,163
The more you can do,
the better they look.
142
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,443
And that's why they hired Glendon
Hill, to make them look good.
143
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,761
And they also hired you to
get traction in Congress.
144
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,841
Not in this case.
145
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,004
We want a long-term
partnership, Claire.
146
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,164
This is an investment
in the future.
147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,085
We're not attaching strings.
148
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,407
I'll think about it.
149
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,125
They'd really love to
move quickly on this.
150
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,887
I said I'll
think about it.
151
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,204
Madeleine, you have to email me this shit.
I need it in writing.
152
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,805
And with more than
an hour's notice.
153
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,049
Yeah, I know that, but you have
to understand we have a plan.
154
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,169
We have a way that we do
this, and when you...
155
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,526
Okay.
156
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,690
Fine.
157
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,242
Yeah. Yeah. Bye.
158
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,805
Madeleine has decided to have a
spur-of-the-moment trip to Orlando
159
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,325
with her latest
eHarmony catch.
160
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,569
- No heads-up, no warning.
- The kids?
161
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,722
They get out of
school at 2:30.
162
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,928
I can do the
Shipbuilder's meeting.
163
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,123
- You sure?
- Yeah, it's just their public affairs team.
164
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,202
I'll brief you, and then you
can call them tomorrow.
165
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,004
- Go get your kids.
- Mmm.
166
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,006
Hey.
167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,683
Remy came by this morning.
To the office.
168
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,000
What does he want?
169
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,366
The donation's
back on the table.
170
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,250
They've doubled
it to $1.5 million.
171
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,521
You said no, right?
172
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:44,761
I didn't.
173
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,931
He doesn't want anything
from you, Francis.
174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,684
Come on, Claire.
You know better than that.
175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,644
I specifically asked.
176
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,606
Maybe not right now, but look, I
invented this guy, all right?
177
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,721
It's a slippery slope.
178
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,801
Think of what I can
do with this money.
179
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,641
I can hire back
the people I let go.
180
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,245
I can help
accelerate the funding
181
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,930
for the projects that
Gillian has brought in.
182
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,684
Let's find another
way to raise the money.
183
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,410
But it's right
there at my feet.
184
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,966
Claire, I have too much
on my plate right now.
185
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,048
I can't have SanCorp breathing
down my neck again.
186
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,924
I can't have Remy...
187
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,047
Look, it is Remy.
188
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,324
He knows me too well.
It's dangerous.
189
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,328
Look at the
bigger picture here.
190
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,721
I'm asking.
191
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,240
No. You're not.
192
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,847
Claire.
193
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,251
I'll tell you
what I told him.
194
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,763
- Which was?
- I'll think about it.
195
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,805
I know there's
been some tension,
196
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,531
and I'm probably more
to blame than you are.
197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,090
But I'd like to
put that behind us.
198
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,727
Zoe, you're going to be our new
White House correspondent.
199
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,247
What about Janine?
200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,410
I promoted her to
Midwest Bureau Chief.
201
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,241
She's okay with that? She wants
to give up the White House?
202
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,004
It's the decision
I've made.
203
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,447
It's just that Janine
has so much experience.
204
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,449
I thought you'd be
more excited about this.
205
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,605
I'm sorry. I just thought you brought
me in here to... I don't know.
206
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,330
- To fire you.
- Maybe.
207
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,406
Water under the bridge.
208
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,361
We're starting over.
209
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,691
So are you ready
to take this on?
210
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,687
Can I think about it?
211
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,404
People usually don't
have to think about it
212
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,045
when they're offered
the White House, Zoe.
213
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,201
Just a day or two.
214
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,402
Janine is booked for a
flight to Chicago on Friday.
215
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,687
I'll let you know before then.
I just need to...
216
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,322
Thank you.
Thank you, Tom.
217
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,084
David Rasmussen is
the majority leader,
218
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,929
which means he's
one step above me
219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,163
and one below Birch, which is akin
to being between a very hungry wolf
220
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,691
and a very
quarrelsome sheep.
221
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,685
Let's see if he stays with
the herd or joins the pack.
222
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,603
David. You mind
if I join you?
223
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,206
Please. A salad, huh?
224
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,248
Yes. I'm trying to take
better care of myself.
225
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,566
Good man. Diet?
226
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,722
Diet, exercise,
everything.
227
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,002
You ought to take better
care of yourself, too.
228
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,367
Well, then they should stop
serving such good pizza.
229
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,330
I'm not talking
about the food.
230
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,050
I'm talking about Birch.
231
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,045
You are never
going to be Speaker
232
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,724
unless you do
something about it.
233
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,604
I'm very satisfied
where I am.
234
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:38,682
- Oh, come on.
- For the time being, yeah.
235
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,966
Time being never.
236
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,769
The only way
you become Speaker
237
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,530
is if Birch loses his
district or retires,
238
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,641
neither of which
is going to happen
239
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,051
before you and
I have dentures.
240
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,208
I'm not happy where this
conversation is going, Frank.
241
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,682
If you want it, and I know
you do, there's a way.
242
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,691
Okay. Right.
I can't...
243
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,366
All you need is a simple majority.
218 votes.
244
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,807
We're going to get at
least 205 out of the GOP,
245
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,450
and after that, all you
need is 13 Democrats.
246
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:02,130
You and I make two.
247
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,287
Are you out
of your mind?
248
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,244
Just consider it
for a moment.
249
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,165
You want to collude
with the Republicans?
250
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,608
I don't want to, but I would if you
become Speaker in the process.
251
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:15,806
Never been done before.
252
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,604
There's a first
time for everything.
253
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,006
This is ridiculous.
254
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,525
The Republicans
would love a chance
255
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,165
to knock Bob
down a peg or two.
256
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,566
And you want
to help them?
257
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,961
I want to help us.
258
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,287
Bob will not play ball
with the White House.
259
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,603
Now, you're a reasonable
man, David, and he's not.
260
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,448
You know what I am?
261
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,244
I'm a discreet man.
262
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,521
You're lucky for that.
263
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,364
I'm not going to
mention this to Bob,
264
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,289
but if you ever
bring it up again,
265
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,089
I won't have a choice.
266
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,411
Looks like he
opted for the herd.
267
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,887
Claire. I'd like to put an
order for the water filters
268
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,566
and the well-digging equipment
for the South Sudan project.
269
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Can we talk
about the budget?
270
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,610
- How much?
- $200,000.
271
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,240
For one project?
272
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,321
I know it's a lot,
273
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,085
but it'll be our flagship
project in Africa,
274
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,130
and we would be the first organization
there to work on this scale.
275
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,683
I'd like to go over
the specifics first.
276
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,841
I have the budget
right here.
277
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,809
Let me just grab my messages,
and then I'll come in to you.
278
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,326
Okay. I'll be
in my office.
279
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,729
Any calls
while I was out?
280
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,929
They're on the desk,
and this came by messenger.
281
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,403
Adam. It's Claire.
282
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,207
Yes. I know. It has.
283
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,651
No reason. I was just
thinking about you.
284
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,284
You're right. It is a lie.
I do have a reason.
285
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,249
I need to use you.
286
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,290
The White House is where news goes to die.
Everything's canned.
287
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,124
These perfectly
prepared statements...
288
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,611
It's a prestigious
job, Zoe.
289
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,401
Used to be, when I was in ninth grade.
Now it's a graveyard.
290
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,369
The only halfway
interesting thing they do
291
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,449
is throw a big dinner
party once a year
292
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,204
where they pat
themselves on the back
293
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,010
and rub shoulders
with movie stars.
294
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,161
Who needs that?
295
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,367
Every day since
you started here,
296
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,124
you've begged me to move you
up, and now suddenly...
297
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,130
My goal in life is not to
climb up The Herald's ladder
298
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,890
one rung at a time until
I've got my own stationery.
299
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,927
Some of us value a career
at a paper like this.
300
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,724
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
for that to come off...
301
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,842
Well, it did, and you skipped
a few rungs, by the way.
302
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,527
Do what you
want to do, Zoe,
303
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,965
but if you want me to
be your cheerleader
304
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,690
and say, "Yeah, turn
it down," I won't.
305
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,727
I would have killed for that
job when I first started here.
306
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,207
Put Fichner in the
"leaning yes" column.
307
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,807
Don't you think
he's a neutral?
308
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,001
He hates Birch.
309
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,889
Yeah, but he owes Birch for the
Ways and Means appointment.
310
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,724
Put him in "neutral."
Who else?
311
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,644
Ramirez as a neutral?
312
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,081
Oh, this list
is so shaky.
313
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,531
Any one of them
leaks it to Bob...
314
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,170
No, what we need
is one name.
315
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,610
One person who
can deliver 12.
316
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,521
The Black Caucus.
317
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,480
Womack.
318
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,608
What can we offer him?
What does he need?
319
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,211
Let me pull up his file.
320
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,001
Here we go.
321
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,163
McCuddin Airforce base employs
3,000 people in his district.
322
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,285
It's on the DOD's
chopping block this year.
323
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,521
Who do we know on
the BRAC commission?
324
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,450
That's dangerous.
325
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,444
The trail leads back to us trying
to influence the DOD or the BRAC.
326
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,568
No, no, no. What we do is
we close another base.
327
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,483
We leave enough money
in the DOD's budget
328
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,210
to keep Womack's
base off the list.
329
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,805
What we need...
330
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,005
ls someone we own.
331
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,329
Dad, I'm hungry.
332
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,447
Coming, buddy.
333
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,966
Here we go.
334
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,170
With cheese.
Without cheese.
335
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,530
Umm, Dad?
336
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,641
Yeah.
337
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,649
That looks
pretty disgusting.
338
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,768
Yeah, it looks disgusting.
339
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,324
It's not how it looks,
it's how it tastes.
340
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,370
And a fork
would be nice.
341
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,531
Shit. Okay. Hold on.
342
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,841
Hello.
343
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,041
Good evening,
Mr. Russo.
344
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,326
There's a Mr. Underwood
here to see you.
345
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,841
Uh...
346
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:00,921
Okay. Send him up.
347
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,321
Hi, there.
348
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,368
- Hi.
- Hi.
349
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,370
This is Kevin,
this is Sarah.
350
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,249
Hi. I'm Frank.
Nice to meet you both.
351
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,169
- Do you work with Dad?
- I do.
352
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,004
Congressman Underwood
is Daddy's boss.
353
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:27,771
I thought you
didn't have a boss.
354
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,401
Everybody has a boss,
sweetheart, even Congressmen.
355
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,090
Why don't you take your dinner
and go into the bedroom?
356
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,009
- But I wanted to watch TV.
- Go now.
357
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,887
- Cute kids.
- Yeah, I like them. Can I get you a drink?
358
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,769
No, I won't
be here long.
359
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,002
Yeah. Have a seat.
360
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,244
Thank you.
Is that a PS Vita?
361
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,321
Uh...
362
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,929
Which games
does he have?
363
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,082
- All of them.
- I have a console at home.
364
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,886
I play sometimes to relax. I ought
to get one of these for the car.
365
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,084
So, Peter, we need to close the
shipyard in your district.
366
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,931
The BRAC hearing is tomorrow. You
won't put up your usual fight.
367
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,168
You have zero
testimony to add.
368
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,209
- I can't do that.
- Yes, you can, Peter.
369
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,929
I spent months
on that testimony.
370
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,883
I lobbied the commission.
My entire office...
371
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,530
I'm sure you've
done splendid work,
372
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,409
but unfortunately, it
can't come to fruition.
373
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,409
- Why?
- Politics.
374
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,482
There's forces bigger than
either of us at play here.
375
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,046
It's 12,000 jobs.
376
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:30,326
I know.
It's a shame.
377
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,528
Keeping that shipyard open
is what got me elected.
378
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,041
Those people
are my friends.
379
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,122
I'm not here to
debate this, Peter.
380
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,522
The base will close.
381
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,682
The only question is, will
you make it a swift death
382
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,171
or a painful one?
383
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,682
No way. I won't
sit on my hands.
384
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,770
I sympathize that this is
gonna be difficult for you.
385
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,569
And I don't
know how yet,
386
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,881
but I will make it
up to you, Peter.
387
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,729
I'm a powerful friend
to have right now,
388
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,484
perhaps your
only friend,
389
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,282
so don't defy me.
390
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,291
Love of family.
391
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,529
Most politicians are permanently
chained to that slogan.
392
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,006
Family values.
393
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,250
But when you cozy up to
hookers and I find out,
394
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,846
I will make that
hypocrisy hurt.
395
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,604
Did you get the
present I sent you?
396
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,040
You wouldn't really
call it a present.
397
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:39,249
Well, more of a
gentle reminder, maybe.
398
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,604
More heavy-handed than
gentle, which surprised me.
399
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,648
It's not really
your style, Francis.
400
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,209
But, yes. I got it.
401
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:50,681
I like that one.
402
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,091
I do, too.
403
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,486
But the first
one's better.
404
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,686
You think?
405
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,646
Something special tomorrow?
406
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,928
Adam Galloway's coming
down from New York.
407
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,001
What for?
408
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,844
Because I need some
of his photographs
409
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,049
for the silent auction
at the gala next month.
410
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:09,121
You speak to Remy yet?
411
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,081
I haven't.
412
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,202
If you want to look inviting,
wear the black one.
413
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:21,930
Hello.
414
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,001
Oh...
415
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,687
Okay. Great. Thanks.
416
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,411
Adam?
417
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,530
How is it the world
keeps spinning
418
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,324
and you manage to
stay ahead of it?
419
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,961
David's on board
with this?
420
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,206
It was his idea.
421
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,327
Then why
isn't he here?
422
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,562
Well, we have to be careful
until it's a done deal.
423
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,843
- I don't know, Frank.
- Think about it, Terry.
424
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,810
You could become the first
African-American majority leader
425
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,370
in the United States
Congress.
426
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:05,091
Let's make some history.
427
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,450
You don't care
about history.
428
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,722
You just wanted me because
I can round up the votes.
429
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,406
I need the votes, and I
do care about history,
430
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,848
but most importantly, Terry,
you know how to lead.
431
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,128
You're the head of the
Black Caucus for a reason.
432
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,970
So David becomes speaker,
I become majority leader...
433
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,530
And I stay on as Whip.
434
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,122
Why don't you want majority
leader for yourself?
435
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,850
I'm satisfied where I am.
436
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,322
Maybe one day, when you become
Speaker, you'll bump me up.
437
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,289
This is the sort of thing
that there's no turning back.
438
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,524
I can throw a
cherry on top.
439
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,971
McCuddin stays open.
440
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:42,881
How?
441
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,405
You don't want
to know how.
442
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,927
You just want the headline when you
keep 3,000 jobs in your district.
443
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,724
- 12 votes?
- 12 votes.
444
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,643
I can get you 10,
probably 11.
445
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,970
It's so refreshing
to work with someone
446
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,610
who will throw a saddle
on a gift horse
447
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,966
rather than look
it in the mouth.
448
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,081
That's nice.
449
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,721
Wow.
450
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,369
I found her in
a village outside Amravati.
451
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,090
Her name was Tyala.
452
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,242
She died three weeks
after I took that picture.
453
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,004
Oh, that's awful.
454
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,730
You can have
them all if you like.
455
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,689
I love your hair short.
456
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,167
You have plans tonight?
457
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,041
No.
458
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:44,327
Is Frank
expecting you home?
459
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,448
I'm sure he'll
be home late.
460
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,521
Get dinner with me.
461
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:50,881
What time is your train?
462
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,085
I don't book
round-trip tickets.
463
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,363
It's going to be a while
before I can leave.
464
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,766
What time will
you be done?
465
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,563
Probably around 8:00.
466
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,929
I'll pick a place,
let you know.
467
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,771
Ah, David.
468
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,010
How are you, Joe?
469
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,803
I'm behind you.
Let's do this.
470
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,961
Do what?
471
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,610
Keep your cards close.
I like that.
472
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:21,045
Hi. Yeah.
This is room 1214.
473
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:25,489
I'd like a bottle of
the Weinbach, please.
474
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,410
Yeah. Actually, could you
make that two bottles?
475
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,890
Thank you.
476
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,970
Sit down. You're
making me nervous.
477
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,486
You still smoke?
From time to time, yes.
478
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,167
I quit. These are
an illusion.
479
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,007
You want?
480
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,207
Sure.
481
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,049
What?
482
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,561
Not now.
483
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,240
Okay.
484
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,245
I should go.
485
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,127
I just...
assumed...
486
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,321
I know.
487
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,130
We can't start
this again.
488
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,567
When I end something,
I end it.
489
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,443
So why'd you have me come all
the way down from New York?
490
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,041
It was a mistake.
491
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,931
I'm sorry, Adam. I should've
kept it business.
492
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:28,724
Side of you
I like the least.
493
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,203
There are no
mistakes, Claire.
494
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,649
- Hi.
- Hello.
495
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,808
- More wine?
- Mmm-hmm.
496
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:10,248
How was your day?
497
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,928
- Good.
- Adam well?
498
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:15,771
He is.
499
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,130
We just had dinner.
500
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,561
Hmm.
501
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,886
I emailed Remy
on the way home.
502
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,803
I told him I'm not
taking the money.
503
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:36,045
Thank you. I appreciate
that this was not easy.
504
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,122
Well, we don't
like easy, do we?
505
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,568
All the evidence
would suggest it.
506
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,241
Is it all right
if the Holburns
507
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,651
come over for
dinner Wednesday night?
508
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,961
I want Felicity to buy
some tables for the gala.
509
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,486
Yeah, of course.
510
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,928
I'm going to need Congressmen
and senators there.
511
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,126
You need to
call in favors.
512
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,366
Done.
513
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,965
Not a few, a lot.
514
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,441
I'll start making
calls in the morning.
515
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,008
Adam donated
10 photographs.
516
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,242
That was generous
of him.
517
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,449
He's staying
at the Mandarin.
518
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,966
And you?
519
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,122
Here.
520
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,849
But the Proving
Ground's importance
521
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,764
stems far beyond its
strategic geographic value.
522
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:32,966
APG's research and development
of military materiel
523
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,408
is central to our nation's
counter-terrorism efforts.
524
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,047
The base houses research laboratories
for preventative medicine
525
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,886
as well as a wide variety of training
grounds for military personnel.
526
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,290
APG is also a job creator.
527
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,450
It provides $400 million
in payroll annually,
528
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,650
and nearly $500 million
in contracts.
529
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,930
Thank you for the opportunity
to testify before you today.
530
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,249
Any questions for the
Congresswoman from Maryland?
531
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,163
No.
532
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,483
Those in favor of removing
the Aberdeen Proving Ground
533
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,483
from the list of closures?
534
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,840
- Aye.
- Aye.
535
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,649
So noted and removed.
536
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,165
Okay, we'll next consider the
Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
537
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,766
Would the congressman from
Pennsylvania's first district
538
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,604
like to offer testimony?
539
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,243
I have no testimony to offer.
540
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,287
Yeah, but the difference
that we're gonna make...
541
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,887
Uh, Terry, let me
call you right back.
542
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,651
Terry Womack?
543
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,721
Possibly.
544
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,529
I've had three members of
the Black Caucus tell me
545
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,971
they're backing my
play for the speakership.
546
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,570
- Interesting.
- I have a sense
547
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,927
you've been disseminating
some misinformation.
548
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,207
No. I'm afraid it's you
who are misinformed, David.
549
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,170
You don't have three members backing you.
You have 10.
550
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,486
I made it very clear I didn't
want any part of this.
551
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,005
Yes, you made it
crystal clear.
552
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,366
Then why are you
telling people?
553
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,647
Because they don't know
you made it crystal clear.
554
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,166
I have to go to
Bob with this.
555
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,129
He'll think you
organized a coup,
556
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,851
got cold feet, and are
making me the scapegoat.
557
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,322
David, if I pick up
this phone right now
558
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,686
and leak this story,
559
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,926
Bob will have no
choice but to drop you,
560
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,049
even if he believes
your version of events.
561
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,046
You wanna take a seat?
562
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,929
- Ah, Freddy?
- Yeah, Frank?
563
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,570
You better make
it a half order.
564
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,846
I got a big
dinner tonight.
565
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,366
Sure thing.
566
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,405
- Slaw? Uh-huh. You got it.
- Always.
567
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,531
Here you go.
568
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,281
So, what's the latest?
569
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,203
You know, Frank.
Same old shit.
570
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,610
Almost got killed
last weekend.
571
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,361
- Here?
- No.
572
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,091
State fair
down in Virginia.
573
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,647
Me and my brother hauling
this smoker down there,
574
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,884
and this fucking minivan
had a fridge strapped on top.
575
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,607
A fridge strapped on
top of a minivan, Frank.
576
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,166
- That's stupid.
- Well, that fridge slipped loose.
577
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,849
Boom! Right in front of us. I had to
swerve to the left. Barely missed it.
578
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,002
But now that smoker
is fishtailing,
579
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,202
almost hit a hatchback
in the next lane.
580
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,362
Swerved to the right.
Barely missed that, too.
581
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,568
- Jesus
- Oh, man, it was real.
582
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,763
But, you know, that's
why God gave us reflexes.
583
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,485
So we can move
the fuck out of the way
584
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,965
when a fridge
come out of nowhere.
585
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,646
How are them ribs?
586
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,000
You know
how they are.
587
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,725
You know I like
to hear it.
588
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,330
Perfection, Freddy.
589
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,761
Perfection.
590
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,081
You go on ahead, Frank.
591
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,401
Thank you, Freddy.
592
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,405
Well, this is a surprise.
593
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,609
- You usually text.
- Where are you?
594
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,166
On the other side
of the tracks
595
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,520
trying to find
the meaning of life.
596
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,840
Find anything for me?
597
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,645
You mean anything
newsworthy?
598
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,601
I actually didn't
call to badger you.
599
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,446
Yes, you did, but that's
part of your charm.
600
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,205
No. I wanted to
tell you that
601
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,091
I've been promoted to White
House correspondent.
602
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,131
I'll have to travel with the
press corps, be at briefings,
603
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,010
but I can work
around all that.
604
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,323
If you need me. It
won't change anything.
605
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,644
Oh, on the contrary.
This changes everything.
606
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,166
No. I can
be flexible.
607
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,563
I'm not interested in
someone who's flexible,
608
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,643
I'm interested in
someone who's available.
609
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,081
So you think I
should turn it down?
610
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,925
That's entirely
up to you.
611
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,681
Well, I mean,
it's not official yet.
612
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,006
I could...
Oh, look, I've got to go,
613
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,647
but call me, you know, if you
find yourself available again.
614
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,442
You see, Freddy believes that if
a fridge falls off a minivan,
615
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,363
you better swerve
out of its way.
616
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,489
I believe it's the fridge's
job to swerve out of mine.
617
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,323
Hey, Janine...
618
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,807
Keep walking, Zoe. I really don't
want to talk to you right now.
619
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,891
It's not like I
asked him for it.
620
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,411
He just called me
into his office, and...
621
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,767
Oh, please. You've been
gunning for my job
622
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,525
since the day you bounced in here
with a lollipop in your mouth.
623
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,847
Congratulations.
624
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,889
I'll send you a bottle of
champagne from the Middle West,
625
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,924
wherever the
fuck that is.
626
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,970
I'm gonna turn it down.
You don't have to leave.
627
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,690
Are you trying to rub
this in or something?
628
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,161
Please believe me. You should
be in the White House.
629
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,522
I don't want it.
I never did.
630
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,446
I was hoping we could
go see Tom together.
631
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,681
I want him to
know that we both...
632
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,966
Get the fuck
out of my face.
633
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,811
I'm asking. For real.
I don't want the job.
634
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,611
Then you're an even bigger
idiot than I thought you were.
635
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,125
Go. Before I get violent.
636
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,968
Peter?
637
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,525
Hello?
638
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,771
Hi. My name is Christina.
I work with your dad.
639
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,808
- He's not here.
- Where'd he go?
640
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,201
I don't know. He said he'd
be back in a little while.
641
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,925
When was that?
642
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,368
When he dropped us
home from school.
643
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,566
He left his phone here.
644
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,326
Are you Dad's
girlfriend?
645
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,927
No. No. I work
for your dad.
646
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,809
Then why do you have the
keys to his apartment?
647
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,090
Will you
make us Pop-Tarts?
648
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,329
It was just
sublime, Claire.
649
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,448
Thank you. I
don't think I'll eat for a week.
650
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,047
Does that mean no
room for dessert?
651
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,282
I'd love to,
but none for me.
652
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,370
Why don't you and
I head downstairs
653
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,084
for a little brandy
and some cigars?
654
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,207
Cubans?
655
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,169
You don't think I smoke
anything legal, do you?
656
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,243
Dessert for you?
No. No, thanks.
657
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,129
But I will take a refill of
this Chardonnay, though.
658
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:21,369
Of course. This is almost out.
I'll grab another.
659
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,571
I hate how they just hit you
like that with no warning.
660
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,688
You get night
sweats, too?
661
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,204
I, umm...
662
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,291
This is very
new to me.
663
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,401
Does Frank know?
664
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,684
I haven't...
We haven't... No.
665
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,162
I'm sorry. We don't have
to talk about this.
666
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:04,086
No. It's fine.
I'm just...
667
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,204
It's fine.
I feel better now.
668
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,845
- Could I have a little bit more?
- Sure.
669
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,047
Just say when.
670
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,286
Charles is driving
tonight, so...
671
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,000
And when.
672
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,923
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
673
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,400
So, you mentioned, when
you invited me, the CWI.
674
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,205
You're having a gala and
launching some new...
675
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,845
Yes, that's right.
676
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,525
We just brought on this
brilliant young woman
677
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,968
who's going to help us
expand our efforts overseas.
678
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,042
Claire, I will save
you the trouble.
679
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,049
Charles and I would be
delighted to contribute.
680
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,288
Well, that's very generous
of you, Felicity.
681
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,286
Well, you were such a darling, getting
us tickets to the Jefferson Ball.
682
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:47,727
Oh, that was nothing.
683
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:48,887
It wasn't nothing.
684
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,530
It was...
685
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,730
People in this town don't go out of
their way to be nice to each other.
686
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,642
Fourteen years Charles and
I have been here, and...
687
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:00,848
Anyway, um...
688
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,361
I'm grateful to
have a friend.
689
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:07,571
How much
do you need?
690
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,244
Christina, what the fuck
are you doing here?
691
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,885
Shh! They're sleeping.
692
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,730
Peter.
693
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,003
Hey, kiddo
Hey, Dad.
694
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,005
Would you take your
brother downstairs?
695
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,411
I'll be there
in a second.
696
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:28,806
Okay.
Bye, Dad.
697
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:30,731
Bye.
698
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,251
Bye?
Where they going?
699
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,081
I'm taking them to
their grandmother's.
700
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,162
I was able to get ahold of
Madeleine, and I told her...
701
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:38,366
Fuck. You didn't
tell her?
702
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,201
No, I didn't.
But I should have.
703
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,322
I told her that you had
to travel for work,
704
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,761
which is the last time
I ever lie for you.
705
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,001
Look.
706
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,366
What happened, Peter?
707
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,324
I'm sorry about
the BRAC hearing.
708
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,526
Fuck the BRAC hearing.
What about your kids?
709
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:04,771
After I drop
them off, I'm done.
710
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,286
I am no longer your girlfriend.
I no longer work for you.
711
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,089
No. Hey, Christina...
712
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,965
I don't want to hear it, Peter.
There's no excuse this time.
713
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,681
I don't have
much time, Frank.
714
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:21,961
I'll make it short.
715
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,042
- The President?
- No. The speakership.
716
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,601
David's making a play.
717
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,929
- What?
- He came to me for support.
718
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,644
My first thought was
to tell you right away,
719
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,206
but then my second thought was
to ignore my first thought,
720
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,726
because we have
the votes, Bob.
721
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,122
If there had been a party revolt,
I would've known about it.
722
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,680
We don't need the whole party to revolt.
We need 13...
723
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,088
Thirteen Democrats, plus the
other side of the aisle.
724
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,251
Are you out
of your mind?
725
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,044
People have been asking
me that a lot lately.
726
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,964
I'm inclined to
start saying yes.
727
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,044
Who are they, the 13?
728
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,088
David and I are two,
Terry Womack,
729
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,726
and 10 members of the Black
Caucus make another 11.
730
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,445
Is the President
behind this?
731
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:57,931
No. He doesn't
have a clue.
732
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,691
This was David's
plan executed by me.
733
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,922
But there is
an out for you, Bob.
734
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,084
I can sway Womack
either way
735
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,006
as long as you make him
the next majority leader.
736
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,003
And...
737
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,411
The Education Bill.
738
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,851
Now we're on
the same page.
739
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,888
I can't do that.
You know I can't.
740
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,123
You're the Speaker, Bob. You
can do anything you'd like.
741
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,567
And I have to say,
appointing the first
742
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,001
African-American
majority leader,
743
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,243
why, that isn't
a bad legacy to have.
744
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,848
I'm sorry.
I changed my mind.
745
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,127
I thought
about it, and.
746
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:35,050
Thinking about it was what
those two days were for.
747
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,521
And then I thought about it
some more, and I realized I...
748
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,285
Jesus Christ, you're
fucking unbelievable.
749
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,289
Look, Tom, I
appreciate the fact
750
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,771
that you took
a chance on me, but...
751
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,765
No, I don't think you do. I don't
think you appreciate anything.
752
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,451
I think you're an ungrateful,
self-entitled little...
753
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,481
Little what?
754
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:55,449
Little what, Tom?
Say it.
755
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,451
Cunt. You're a cunt.
756
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,130
What are you doing?
757
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,721
Don't you dare...
758
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,007
You don't even
know what I'm typing.
759
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,122
- Get out, Zoe.
- Just a second. I'm almost done.
760
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,248
Get out.
You're fired.
761
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,051
Whatever you have to
tell yourself, Tom.
762
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,321
Get out!
763
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,811
So should I
press send?
764
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,087
I think I should.
765
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,009
Call me whatever you want,
766
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,407
but you should remember,
these days,
767
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,609
when you're talking to one
person, you're talking to 1,000.
768
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,087
Well, you'll say you
wanted to spend more time
769
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,605
focusing on
your home district.
770
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:58,005
You'll say Womack is the right
man to fill your shoes.
771
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,165
You won't make waves.
You won't do interviews.
772
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:03,766
You'll suck it up
and be a team player.
773
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,371
This was Frank's idea.
774
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,408
I told you he was gonna
try to blame me on it.
775
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,641
Ask around.
Talk to Womack.
776
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:11,688
I did. He said
you came to him.
777
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,247
He's fucking lying, Bob!
I would never...
778
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,771
Shut up, David.
779
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,961
Do you understand how you're to
behave when we make the announcement?
780
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,485
And if I don't
play along?
781
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,649
Then the DCCC will pour
everything it's got
782
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:28,644
into your primary opponent's
campaign next cycle.
783
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:32,202
We'll cleave you from the herd and
watch you die in the wilderness.
784
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,524
Tell us now, David.
785
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,404
If you think
it's best, Robert.
786
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,484
And just think,
he could have been a wolf.
787
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,808
You made yourself
available.
788
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,601
I quit.
Fuck that place.
789
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,331
It was a prison.
I'm free now.
790
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,211
Congratulations.
791
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,645
Where are you?
792
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:36,846
In a car.
793
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:37,921
So am I.
794
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,206
Where you headed?
795
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,691
Home.
796
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,211
So am I.
797
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,884
To your home or mine?
798
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,451
Is that an invitation??
799
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,808
It's whatever
you want it to be.
800
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,086
You sound tipsy.
801
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,361
I am.
802
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:51,925
I just spent
the last two hours
803
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,530
drinking Long
Island Iced Teas.
804
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:57,730
What's your address?
805
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,889
Do your parents know
you live like this?
806
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,724
No. They
haven't visited.
807
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,566
Are you cared for?
808
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,561
How do you mean?
809
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,362
Do you have a man
who cares for you?
810
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:19,767
An older man.
811
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:20,961
No.
812
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,569
But you've been with
older men before?
813
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:26,721
Yes.
814
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,131
Then you know
they hurt you,
815
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:31,651
and after
they hurt you,
816
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,001
they discard you.
817
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,164
You can't hurt me.
818
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,170
Take your heels off.
