House Of Cards 2013 S01E01 Jesus! Did you get a good look?- I only saw a blue Camry. It's Wharton's dog. Oh, man.- He's not gonna make it. Go see if they're home. It's ok. There are two kinds of pain. The sort of pain that makes you strong. or useless pain. The sort of pain that's only suffering. I have no patience for useless things. Moments like this require someone who will act.or do the unpleasant thing, or the necessary thing. There. -No more pain. It was a hit and run, I'm awfully sorry. He must have jumped over the fence again. Steve's gonna file a report on the car, hell put his people on it. We'll track them down. You're stunning. Shall we?Oh, President elect Gareth Walker. Do I like him? No. Do I believe in him? That's beside the point. Any politician that gets 70 million votes has tapped into something larger than himself, larger than even me as much as I hate to admit it. Look at that winning smile, those trusting eyes. I just know them early on, and made myself vital. After 22 years in congress I can smell which way the wind is blowing. Oh, Jim Matthews, his right, honorable Vice President. Former Governor in Pennsylvania. He did his duty in delivering the Keystone State. Bless his heart. And now they're about to put him out to pasture. But he looks happy, now doesn't he? For some, it's simply the size of the chair. Linda Vasquez, Walker's chief of staff. I got her hired. She's a woman, check. And a Latina, check. But more important than that, she's as tough as a two-dollar steak Check, check, check. When it comes to the White House, you not only need the keys in your back pocket. You need the gatekeeper. As for me, Im just a lowly house majority whip. I keep things moving in a Congress choked by pettiness, and lassitude. My job is to clear the pipes, and keep the sludge moving. But I won't have to be a plumber much longer. I've done my time. I backed the right man. Give and take. Welcome to Washington. You need a haircut. You think? A little trim. What are you gonna wear? You mean for the meeting?For the announcement. I'm wearing my navy blue, the one with the pinstripes. Good. You look handsome in that suit. I don't know if they will announce it before your board meeting. Well, as long as I can say the donation is coming. As soon as it's official, Sancorp will write you the check. This is going to be a big year for us. You know, the meeting's on Tuesday. You're gonna wanna start with something. Any idea what? I would say immigration, banking or education, but. None of my regular sources can confirm that. Because. They don't know, or because they're not talking? Because they don't know.- Keep at it, get me something. Sorry, I'm so sorry Mr. Hammerschmidt. Zoe. Barnes- Of course. Did it take him a year to remember your name? -Longer. Good morning, Lucas. What can I do for you, Zoe? I am sick of the Fairfax county council. You tell me everyday. Move me online. My own blog. First person, subjective, 500 words. Not gonna happen.- I'll go underground. backrooms, the urinals! I'll win over staff members on the Hill. They need a place to vent. A gossip column?- No. We'll lift the veil. What's really going on. This is the Washington Herald, Zoe. It's not. TMZ- Do you know how many people watch TMZ? I couldn't care less- Which is why print journalism is dying. Then it will die with dignity. At least with this paper. You are stuck in the 20th century, Lucas, you lack imagination. Maybe so, but right now I don't need imagination, I need copy. Your nights and weekends are yours, I applaud whatever you want to do, as long as it's not on my time. You're telling me to get back to work? I am. What you're really telling me is to fuck off.- I'm telling you both. It's Mr. Chapman already, from Provence Trust. Hold my calls, Christina. Henry. It's good to see you. How long are you in town for?- Just today. What? You gotta come back down for the inauguration. I can hook you up. How about you hook me up with the zoning laws you promised to get changed? We got 12 millions sitting in escrow for an empty lot we can't build on. I know, but you gotta understand. It's a local municipal issue. I can't just pick up the phone. You can't? Because that's not what you lead us to believe when you begged for 50 grand in donations. -Right, I. Just one second. Christina, I said no calls, not while I'm meeting with Mr. Chapman. The President-elect? Do you mind?- No, go ahead please. Put him trough Christina. Mr. President-elect? Thank you. Yes, we were pleased to win by double digits. Absolutely, anything you need. I need you to put your long, wet, talented tongue between my thighs and make me squeal like Monica Lewin. Me too. Me too. Okay, thank you, sir. I'm so sorry. Where were we? Walker. what's he like? The President-elect running late? No, he couldn't make it.Ill brief him, though. Okay. This is the memo, I've drafted, on our Middle East policy we've been developing. Now, I want to borrow from Reagan. I'd like to coin the phrase “trickle-down diplomacy". That way.- Frank. I'm gonna stop you there. We are not nominating you for Secretary of State. I know, he made you a promise, but circumstances have changed. The nature of promises, Linda, is that they remain immune to changing circumstances. Gareth has thought long and hard about this. And he's decided we need you to stay in Congress. When was this decision made? And why wasn't I part of the conversation? I'm sorry, Frank, if it had been up to me, I wouldn't have waited this long to tell you. So you knew, you were going to do this. It has been an evolving discussion. It's a chicken-shit move. Frank.- I was vetted. Was that a ruse? No. Let's be absolutely clear, you wouldn't have won without me. You're right, but now we have to lead. And that means making tough choices. As you know, education is a top priority for us. A complete federal overhaul. But it's not just the education, Frank, Congress has split. We need you there, more than we need you in the State Department. I got you hired, Linda. I know. Donations, endorsements. I wrote the campaign's entire foreign policy platform. I bring years of Foreign Affairs Committee. Frank. Please. I want to speak to Walker personally. The decision is made.We need you, Frank. Will you stand beside us or not? Of course, if that's what the President wants. I'm very glad to hear that. I'm curious. If not me then who? Michael Kern. Michael Kern? Well. that is an excellent choice. Can we make it look clear? I just want to make sure it doesn't look like we're neglecting our domestic. No, no, no, no.I'm gonna say that we are expanding our mission. Okay. And we're bringing on a new organization to help us. They know which one yet? I'm still looking into a few options, but, um. Tell me, what did we agreed on. That we could hire how many new people. Six? Six, maybe seven. We'll have enough. Ooh, it's exciting. Huh? This, uh, new direction we're heading. I just don't know where we're gonna fit all the people Well, do you think we'll have to look into additional space? No, no. I'll find a way. Okay, so make the changes to the power point. And let's meet again, at 14.30.- Okay. Answering machine Frank Underwood. It's me. I feel like an idiot leaving messages like this. Call me back. What is it, Zoe? Um, I knew you're gonna have your hands full at the White House. So,. If you need someone to do research, or.Or punch out background. I think I'll be fine. Well, if things get hectic, and you need any help. So you can blog about rubbing shoulders with the big boys. Wh. What did Lucas tell you? Look, no offence, Zoey, But I don't have time to be anyone's training wheels. I just thought. -No, I was just actually offering to lend a hand. That's it. I got it. Thanks. Claire. You didn't call. I was.- You didn't call me, Francis. Nine hours, you don't not call me. Not when it's this big. You're right. When have we ever avoided each other? I wanted a solution first. Do you have one? Not yet. This affects me too, Francis. And it's not the money I'm upset about. It's that we do things together. When you don't involve me we are in free fall. I should have called you and I didn't. What happened? She says they need to keep me in Congress. Linda said that? Walker wasn't even there. That's what really gets me. He didn't have the courage to look me in the eye. I knew you shouldn't trust that woman.- I didn't, I don't trust anyone. Then how could you not see this coming. I never thought they were capable. You don't usually underestimate people, Francis. I know Hubris.and ambition. You should be angry. I'm livid. Then where is that. I don't see it. What do you want me to do? Scream and yell? throw a tantrum?I want more than I'm seeing, youre better than this, Francis. Well, Im sorry Claire. I am sorry. No, that I won't accept. What? Apologies. My husband doesn't apologize. Even to me. How long have you been up? Hours. I know what I have to do. Good. We'll have a lot of nights like this. Making plans. Very little sleep. I expected that. It doesn't worry me. I better get to work. I laid a suit out for you upstairs. The navy blue one. I love that woman. I love her more than sharks love blood. President-elect Garrett Walker. Why do you think they went with him? We're too good. They cant afford to lose us in congress. Is that work done? Chin tuck probably, definitely dies his hair. Do we say anything? No, God no. Not unless he brings it up. Nancy? -Cancel everything, Stanford you're with me. Now, look. They have done us a great favor, Doug. We are no longer bound by our allegiances, we serve no one. We live by one rule and one rule only: Never again will we allow ourselves to be put in such a position. Walker and Vasquez? All Of them. I hold them all accountable You want retribution? No, no. It's More Than That. Take a step back. Look at the bigger picture. I think I see what you're getting at. Kern first? That's how you devour a whale, one bite at a time. Who would you want? for secretary of state?- Give me a list of choices and however we do this, well also need a buffer. You mean an errand boy. Yes, someone we control completely. I'll keep my ear to the ground. Good. I haven't eaten since yesterday. I almost pity him. He didn't choose to be put on my platter. When I carve him up and toss him to the dogs only then will he confront that brutal inescapable truth. My God! All I ever amounted to was chitlins and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Matthew, Chapter 23 verse 12. Thanks be to God. -I'd like to speak today on the subject of Humility. A lot of you have just won re-election. If you haven't you might not be sitting here. And of course we should enjoy our success and be grateful for it but never let your gratitude sour into pride. You'll have many challenges ahead over the next couple of years and a person's character isn't determined by how he or she enjoys victory, but rather how he or she endures defeat. Nothing can help us endure dark times better than our faith. Claire. Hello, Felicity. How are you? Good how are you? Good. I'm sorry, it's just not right. Charles and I cannot understand what Walter was thinking. Oh, that's very sweet of you. But really, between you and me, I think Francis is relieved. He just feels much more at home in Congress. I would have bet a million dollars they were gonna pick you. Well, it's a good thing you have a million dollars to spare. But you are by far and away the only choice. I appreciate you saying that. I mean, Michael? Come on, hes got half the experience. Garrett is a smart man, he knows what he's doing. You're a bigger man than I, Frank. You, ah. You want some of that wine? Yes, definitely. Man, this is some good shit. Where did you get it? I kinda lifted it from the VIP room of the speaker's holiday party. I'm impressed! Bordeaux, 20 years old? Ah, it seemed about right for you. -Ouch! Why would you say that to me? I'm almost thirty. It's practically ancient in your book. I don't discriminate when it comes to age. Really? When was the last time you hired a 40 year old stuffer? Doesn't mean that I wouldn't. As long as she's good in the sack. Come on. It's true, isn't it? Where is this coming from? You're not gonna just toss me aside for some slut stray out of Vassar. Sorry I'm in that conversation. It's been six months, it's not a little office fling anymore. You want me to say those three magic words. One of which starts with an 'L'. No. Okay. I'll say them. Christina Gallagher. lick my balls! Oh my.you're a bastard. Hey! I love you. I love you Christina. I love you. Now, will you lick my balls? So, I'm curious. Are we patrons, benefactors or lepers? Believe it or not, we're angels. I'm going to go outside and pretend to use my cell phone. Go. Can I have your jacket? Are you going to bed? I'll be up in a bit. Don't stay up all night. No, I'll be right there. Thanks so much. Ill call you. Wait! I thought you had a good time. Oh, I did. I loved it. Ive never been before. Well, maybe I could come up. Ryan, you're so sweet. But if I was gonna fuck you, youd know. Thanks so much. She's here. Send her in. It's quite rare for a president's chief of staff to climb the hill， A gesture of respect, no doubt or desperation. I'm guessing she'll say, Donald Blythe for education. Let's see if I'm right. G
