- Oh! Who's that, dear?
- Oh, that's Colonel Drake,

one of the witnesses at the
D.O.D. hearings last month.

Standard grip-and-grin.

Julie gave it to me to inscribe for him.

Oh, you give autographed
pictures to your witnesses?

I do.

It's a memento of their
experience testifying

before the most August
deliberative body on Earth.

Oh. How thoughtful.

Well, what will your inscription say?

Wish him well, I guess,

thank him for being totally
honest with me in the committee,

for opening up some feelings

that we on the committee
didn't know we had...

that sort of thing.

- It's pretty pro forma.
- Mm-hmm.

What did he testify about?

Transgenders in the military.

Oh, my land.

Why has everything got to
be about sex these days?

Well, not everything is, Louise.

There's Benghazi, Obamacare...

Obamacare?

Obamacare provides birth
control, for Peter's sake,

which, by the by, apparently
didn't do Julie much good.

Well, in fairness, Julie was
trying to get pregnant, Louise.

Oh, Louis, you've got to talk to her.

They have to get married
before it's obvious

she's in a family way.

I will. I will.

I just have to find the right moment.

Well, be sure that you do.

[Sighs]

[Soft piano music]

[Upbeat music]

Robert, are you really worth $1.17 million?

I was.

Now I'm splitting it three
ways: Eve, me, and the lawyers.

Holy cow, Warner topped
100 million this year.

What are you boys looking at?

The annual net worth list for senators.

I'm ranked 47th... pretty darn respectable.

Who's laughing now at my penny stocks?

Not me, not when we're
sitting on all that clover.

Hey, Guzman's at the bottom with
a negative net worth of 240,000.

What? How's that possible?

Yeah, he got burned on sub-prime mortgages.

He's underwater on his house in Miami.

You brought me a tenant
who owes $1/4 million?

[Doorbell chimes]

1/4 mil... No wonder he's in
Miami begging for forgiveness.

That's if he makes it to Adriana's door.

Gonna pass up a lot of opportunities...

stewardesses, hotel maids,
whoever's in the elevator.

- Get you some coffee, Rose?
- Yes, please.

- Hey, Louise.
- Good morning, Rose.

Ah, bumming coffee with
a net worth of 876,000?

Nest egg. Car's here.

You about ready to go to the station?

I am.

Louis, I need a favor, honey.

I'm supposed to host a women's
caucus dinner tomorrow night,

but my living room is still
drying out from that broken pipe.

- Any chance I could have it here?
- Sure, no problem.

I won't be here, though.
I've got to fly home.

I'll be in Philly. Sorry.

Senator DuPeche, it would
be my honor to host you

and your women colleagues
tomorrow evening... say, 7:00?

[Upbeat Latin music]

This way, Senator.

Thanks, Corinne.

Benny?

Senator.

I wonder if you could
tell Adriana that I'm here.

[Beep]

Senator Guzman is here, Miss de Portago.

Well?

I told her.

[Jazz music]

- What are you going up for?
- Hamptons fund-raiser with the .1%.

- Hmm, who hates you.
- It's mutual.

But I like to give them a
chance to hedge their bets. You?

I got an event up in North Philly.

- Where they hate you.
- You got to try.

Can't expect to get the votes
if you don't "ax" for 'em.

Or suppress them.

You're just trying to touch
base with your conscience.

What is your problem?

Why do you say such incredibly
insulting things to me?

I don't see you talking
smack to other people.

I can't change everyone, Robert.

I only tell the truth
to people I care about.

You care?

What? What, are you hitting on me?

The gentleman is dreaming.

[Jazz music]

Why, Elliot...

I wasn't going to say anything, Gil John.

There's nothing worse than a stage dad,

but your kid has just taken over the show.

She has Bigfooted her way into every scene,

and now my little
Charity has nothing to do.

She's the star of the show.

Excuse me, Senator, but
there really isn't a star.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

And when we sat down and
we signed on for this thing,

it was clear that she was going
to be the breakout daughter.

She has the looks, the charisma,

and the interesting personal
problems to be the next Snooki!

- Who?
- I think it's fair to say

no one wants to see the next Snooki.

So are you deliberately
limiting screen time?

- Tell me that. Are you...
- No!

- Is that what you're saying to me?
- No, no, no.

We do not play favorites on the show.

We just try to follow our
characters into their lives

and find those little moments
of truth that feel real.

Real? What's real?

Endless Cee Biggs whining
about her childhood.

What, you think that's good television?

Well, you're the experts.

Good luck with that!

You know, Connie, Senator
Robeson might just have a point.

Cee's story arc about her family issues

has been a little slow to resolve.

Well, sir, if you would just be willing

to really get into it with her...

You know what, Connie?

I might be able to help you out with that.

Really?

That would be brilliant.

- On one condition.
- Name it.

My wife is having second
thoughts about being on TV.

She thinks the camera makes her look too...

- What?
- Too...

Old, heavy? Whatever it is, we can fix it.

I don't think she wants it fixed.

She just wants off.

You think you can help me out with that?

And you can help resolve
Cee Biggs' back-story...

reverse engineer her pain?

Whatever the hell that
means, I'm all for it.

Tell Mrs. Biggs she never happened.

She's still in North Carolina.

Now, that's my kind of reality TV.

[Jazz music]

Benny, what should I do?

I wouldn't presume to tell you, Senator.

But she trusts you.

An honor I've always
tried to remain worthy of.

[Cell phone vibrates]

Hello?

What are you doing here?

What do you think?

Trying not to lose the
best thing in my life.

I flew all the way down
here to beg your forgiveness.

Andy, you live in Florida.

You flew home.

Technically.

But home is where you are.

Well, you're not home to me.

Home is a safe place

where love is something
that you can count on.

That's home.

I can be that, Adriana. I can change.

You can no more change
than Edwards or Clinton

or all the other narcissistic
men that do nothing

but create chaos in the lives
of people that care about them.

Look at me, Adriana.

I will not look at you.

I will not look at you and your easy smile

and your silly orchids

and tell you that I still believe in you.

I won't do it.

Benito, please show the Senator out.

[Somber music]

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Ah. Come in, James. Have a seat.

Whoa.

Impressive.

I didn't know you played cards.

I do. I don't gamble, of course,

but my college roommate used to
work the nugget in Carson city

and showed me a few moves.

Anyway, I notice you have me

scheduled for another
job-for-a-day media event,

so I've been thinking,

why not be a dealer on the strip?

Certainly couldn't go any worse
than being a crane operator.

No, sir.

And again, I'm really sorry about that one.

I figured I could leverage

this little skill set of
mine, flip a few cards,

and show the voters I know
what a regular job's like.

I'll have Julie advance
it, so nothing goes wrong.

Julie.

You sure she should be
flying in her condition, sir?

The baby might get airsick.

Oh, you're right. How
do women manage that...

tiny little thing throwing up inside you?

Well, I better go talk to her,

see where this whole
motherhood thing is headed.

I think she just left
for the cafeteria, sir.

Oh, the old Senate cafeteria...
the people's dining room.

Where is it again?

Going to Lombard baptist

just isn't a good use
of your time, Senator.

Not to put too fine a point on
it, but you won't be welcome.

I don't expect to be,
but it's a good chance

to distance myself from voter suppression.

They won't buy it.

Disincentivizing the black community

is so obviously in your interest.

Senator, if all the black voters

that turned out for Obama show
up in November, we're dead.

If only 3/4 show up,
it's still a nail-biter.

Our best chance at beating
Rendell is to drive that number

down even further.

Oh, how are we looking in North Philly?

Ready to go.

We've got untraceable contributions

out to key community groups.

Their people will find better
things to do on election day.

And volunteers will be handing out leaflets

reminding people to vote
on Wednesday, November 5th.

Wednesday? That actually works?

Did in Tampa. Worth a shot.

What on Earth is she doing?

I don't know... getting into the zone.

What did you agree to, exactly?

To be honest, I'm not sure.

I assume we're supposed

to get in each other's faces, mix it up.

Well, that shouldn't be hard.

That girl still does piss
me off something fierce.

Just don't let it get out of control.

You don't want to solve one
problem by creating another one.

[Chuckles]

[Indistinct chatter]

Julie, Katharine, what a surprise.

Senator, what are you doing here?

Having lunch, of course. Change of pace.

Members' dining room... so stuffy.

I can imagine.

Something on your mind, sir?

No. Yes. Well, it's on my wife's mind,

but since we're usually of one mind,

I guess that sort of means
it's on my mind as well.

She... we were wondering if you two

had any plans to make honest
women out of each other.

Wait.

- You want us to get married?
- Well, I mean,

since you've decided to
have your science baby,

we just think it would be
better for the child if...

But you're opposed to gay marriage.

Deeply opposed, Katharine.

But I'm even more opposed to
children being born out of wedlock.

So it's one of a lesser
of two evils sort of thing.

Is our child one of the two evils?

Thank you for your advice, Senator.

Be sure to thank Mrs. Laffer too.

I will. Glad we talked about this.

You're both like daughters...

See you back at the office, sir.

Yeah, right. Oh... enjoy your meal.

I'm sure I will.

It's fun trying new things.

It's called a job, Charlotte.

Getting up and leaving the house,

and whoever's in it is what
you do to support your family.

Yeah, I was away a lot.
Yeah, I was coming home late.

Yeah, I missed some
dinners, some soccer games...

- I didn't play soccer.
- Tabbie and Ellie did.

You weren't the only one
in the house, Charlotte!

I was the only one in a play!

A play. What play?

Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat.

I was the narrator...
one of the best parts.

And you had the Regionals
or whatever that same night,

so guess who lost out.

The kid in the stupid
middle school musical.

I remember.

Oh, really?

What do you remember?

I remember you coming down the stairs

and how over the moon you were,

and I remember you wearing
your little silver slippers,

and your sisters had threaded
these little colored glass beads

in your hair.

And when you spun around the living room,

all the little beads clicked together.

And you... you started
singing me this silly song

about the pharaoh,

and you were cracking yourself up

and cracking yourself up
and cutting up and laughing.

And I thought, "my Lord",

"how is this girl ever
gonna get through this song

onstage tonight?"

And I got up and left for the game.

- Daddy.
- What?

You just took my breath away.

Senator Guzman.

Hey, Beth. Is Dr. Semeckis in?

You just caught her, sir.

She had a cancellation
and was about to go home.

Senator Guzman is here, Doctor.

Go right in, Senator.

It's good to see you again, sir.

Same here, Beth.

[Sighs]

So my life is unraveling again.

So I read.

You're referring to public
ridicule, which is bad.

And by the way, it's much
worse now than it used to be.

Death by a thousand tweets.

But that's not why I'm here.

I want to understand why I do what I do.

Am I a sex addict? Does
such a thing even exist?

Some of my colleagues refer
to it as hyper-sexual disorder.

H.D., meaning your pursuit of intercourse

interferes with other important activities.

Well, that's me, right?

So it has a name... H.D.

I have H.D.

I mean, it sounds like I
suffer from high definition,

which doesn't sound very serious, but...

Did you swing by here just
to pick up a clinical label?

Do you think if you have a condition

that absolves you of responsibility?

Yeah, well, it's a start.

I'm feeling really bad about myself, Jody.

Do you feel equally bad about
the people your condition harms?

You know I do.

I did.

I've never forgiven myself.

Now, now.

Let's not drag our marriage
into a billable hour.

Thanks for coming out.
Thanks for coming out.

- Hey, good to see you. Morning.
- You too.

Morning. Good to see you.

Reverend Mike, good to see you, sir.

Honored to have you here,
Senator, and surprised.

We never get to see you.

Well, maybe not in this
particular neighborhood,

but I'm a Philly boy.

Born and raised not too far from here.

No, sir, not far and yet a world away.

Never mind, the important thing is

you're here to help get folks to the polls.

So what do you say?

Well, let's get started, shall we?

Come right over here, Senator,

and meet some of your fellow volunteers.

Morning. Good to see you.

Ah, good to see you, sir.

Are you soul ready to roll to the poll?

Souls to the polls is a
rides program, Senator.

I'm just here to register
to vote for Rendell.

Well, it's not my job to
tell you who to vote for, sir.

I'm just here to encourage you
to exercise your right to vote.

Thanks for helping out, Senator.

Thanks for coming. Thanks for coming.

Ed Rendell's been a good
friend to this community,

and we need him in Washington.

Uh, the important thing
is that you're voting, sir.

Where do I write Ed Rendell's name?

You don't do that today, ma'am.

You do that voting day.

Wednesday, November 5th.

Wednesday. Okay.

Uh...

Tuesday, November 4th.

Oh, well, now you just confused me.

I'm sorry, ma'am. Tuesday.

Vote on Tuesday, November 4th.

Tuesday, all right.

You understand it's not
about craving, right?

It's no more about sex than
problem gambling is about money?

Well, it sure feels like it's about sex.

I mean, there's the pheromones,
the electricity, the...

I know the characteristics, Andy.

What happens if you
don't scratch that itch?

Nothing. Nothing falls off.

There is only upside.

Monogamy allows you to
honor someone you value.

You do value her, I take it.

I do. I really do.

You know, I asked Ted Kennedy
once what he did to control it,

whether he got shots or something.

You did not. What did he say?

He gave me an evil look.

And yet he seems to have had

a very successful final marriage.

His journey became about love.

Yours may too.

You really think so?

You've been here an hour,

and you haven't mentioned
how Adriana leaving

hurts you politically...

just how it hurts you.

You're right.

What's all that camera gear for?

Oh, that's a reality show my kid's in...

Real Daughters of D.C.

Oh, right, Elliot was
telling me about it...

how his daughter's not in it.

Yeah, it's been pretty much

a nightmare till yesterday.

Charlotte and I, I don't know, connected.

Could you open these,
Gil? Let them breathe.

Man, good thing beer
doesn't need to breathe.

It's always ready when you are.

Waiting on wine is like
waiting on your wife

to finish her makeup.

I think I'm gonna bail on that one.

[Doorbell chimes]

I'll get it.

- Good evening, ladies.
- [Overlapping chatter]

It's so nice of you...

Well, thank you.

Alice, Patty,

Meredith, Susan.

Wait a minute.

This is bipartisan?

Damn fine of you. Mwah!

Good to see you.

[Doorbell chimes]

Oh, hey.

Come on in.

- Thank you. Thank you.
- Hello, how are you?

Thank you. Thank... ah!

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Good to see you.
- Whoa, careful.

- Oh, sorry.
- It's all right.

- How are you?
- Hi.

- Hi, how you doing?
- Welcome.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Jazz music]

Where is he?

The senator's getting into costume.

I hate those words.

Nothing good ever follows.

Ah, he'll be fine. He
actually knows his cards.

We played go fish the whole flight out.

This is one of your duties now?

I don't mind.

James, may I ask you a personal question?

Sure. What's up?

Ever since you mentioned
you didn't go to Harvard,

I've just been curious
about your background.

Where is your family
originally from, exactly?

Oh, we're mongrels.

Irish, scotch, Franco-Germanic,
Lithuanian for the most part.

I see.

- Any ancestors of note?
- [Chuckles]

Not really. Yeah.

Most of my people just scraped by.

Barbers, tinkers, carnies...

I was the first member of my
family to go to summer camp.

Senator quick draw is in the house.

Right this way, Senator Quick Draw.

They call it command rape.

It's not coercive in a physical sense,

but the subordinate is pressured into sex

under the threat of dangerous
duty or of being written up.

But to report it, she has
to go through her commander,

who has a huge conflict of interest.

He doesn't want it on his unit's record,

he doesn't want to pull the rapist offline,

or the rapist may be a buddy of his.

- Or the commander himself.
- Incredible.

That's the reason the decision to prosecute

has to be outside the chain of command.

Where's the bill now?

We're four shy of a floor vote,

but it's not gonna happen
before the election.

Don't be so sure, Susan.

I have three daughters myself,

not that you'd want to
see 'em in the military

or in any position of
responsibility for that matter.

But if they were,

I'd be mad as hell if command
didn't have their back.

You already got my vote.

Let me do what I can do about
rounding up the rest of them.

In the meantime, ah, I
want to thank the caucus

for inviting me into their
famous zone of civility.

It has been an education.

If you'll excuse me,

I need some more of Senator
Conklin's mac and cheese,

Senator Morris's steak salad,

and Senator DuPeche's aerated vino.

- Ladies.
- To our host.

- Both: To our host.
- Hear, hear.

Before we get started on
this year's job for a day,

I just want to thank Saul and Shelly watt

and the golden plum for their hospitality.

With that, let's get started, shall we?

Who wants to play some Blackjack?

- I do.
- Great.

All right.

Man, strong Jack,

and 19, 20, 20.

Dealer has Blackjack for the house.

Ah, man. There goes the college fund.

- I'm out.
- College fund?

Really?

Consider a state school...
much more affordable.

Penn. Well, what a surprise.

You're surprised, really?

You shouldn't be.

This is my town, Louis.

And this is my favorite
table, as it happens.

Let's play.

Oh, a pair of 6s.

I love 6s. Let's split 'em.

- Split 6s.
- Yeah, let's split 6s.

And then how about you give me a 5

- and a 10 out of there, would you please?
- Sorry?

Oh, I mean, whatever comes out
of the shoe, is what I meant.

5 and a 10... that's 21.
Do it again. Do it again.

5 and 10... let's see what you've got here.

Dealer 16... dealer breaks.

Oh, wow. What are the chances of that, huh?

That was something. How many's there?

I can't even see. I haven't
got good eyes at all.

Oh, yeah, it's $10,000.

Fun. [Laughs]

Let's hurry up.

I want to get to the next round.

I want to see that 9 of
clubs and 3 of hearts.

How'd you do that?

Do what?

Hit me.

Hit me. Hit me.

Hit me. Oh.

- 21.
- Is that good?

Dealer has 15. Dealer breaks.

Yeah, dealer does break, doesn't he? Yeah.

Wow!

I am almost late for my sold-out show.

Tell you what we're gonna do...

I'll put everything on the next hand.

Mr. Jillette, you have
almost $500,000 there.

I have $505,000.

Let's play.

7, like that.

7... ooh, a pair of 7s.

Lucky 14!

I'm gonna stand.

I'm sorry, Louis.

For what?

The 9 of hearts.

Oh, it's diamonds.

I am slipping. I am slipping.

I'll come back later for the check, Karl.

And, all of you, plenty of tickets

available for tomorrow night.

See you all at the Rio

and at the polls on November 4th.

Don't worry, sir, the Watts are in Macau.

But it might be a good idea if we leave.

- You clear?
- Yeah, I'm clear.

I can't believe it... getting called
away from my morning blow job for this?

Fucking Louis.

He hands over a million bucks of our money

to his own goddamn opponent? Who does that?

A fucking moron is who does that!

Open the door! Where is he?

Where's the Moron Senator?

Louis, you cocksucker!

You owe us a million bucks!

Pay up, or we'll rip
your goddamn lungs out.

We own your ass now, bitch.

- You are totally fucked!
- [Whimpers]

So Gil John and I had this
amazing catharsis thing,

and it was really well shot.

But Charity's father keeps

complaining the show's all about me,

as if it's my fault that
I'm a breakout daughter.

So I threw this epic after-hours party

at the US Mint, and Cee
Biggs wouldn't even come.

She said it wasn't something
a real D.C. daughter would do.

How would she know?

She hasn't lived here for, like, six years.

To be honest, if there's a second season,

I don't see her coming back.

I mean, it's the producer's call,

but for the good of the show, you know...

and it's not personal.

Charity is super nice. I love her to death.

Such a bitch. You have no idea.
