All language subtitles for ハウス・オブ・カード 野望の階段1 01

Man: Hey, what are you doing?

Jesus. Did you get a good look?

Blue Toyota camry,
that's all I saw.

It's the wartons' dog.

Oh, man.

It's not gonna make it.

Go see if they're home.

It's okay.

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.

Who will do
the unpleasant thing,

the necessary thing.

There.

No more pain.

Francis: Itwas a hit
and run. I'm awfully sorry.

He must'vejumped
over the fence again.

Look, Steve is gonna file a report
on the car. He'll put his people on it.

We'll track them down.

Stunning.

Shall we?

Crowd: Three, two, one.

All: Happy new year!

Oh.

President-elect Garrett 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 latched onto him early on
and made myself vital.

After 22 years in congress, I can
smell which way the wind is blowing.

Jim Matthews, his right
honorable vice president.

Former governor of Pennsylvania.

He did his duty in delivering the
keystone state, bless his heart.

Now they're about to
put him out to pasture.

Buthelooks happy
enough, 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, I'm just the
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've backed the right man.

Give and take.

Welcome to Washington.

You need a haircut.

You think?

A little trim.

What are you going to wear?

You mean for the meeting?
For the announcement.

I'll wear my Navy blue,
the one with the pinstripes.

Good. You look
handsome in that suit.

I don't know if they'll announce
before your board meeting.

As long as I can say
the donation is coming.

Soon as it's official,
sancorp will write you a check.

This is going to be
a big year for us.

Tom: They're gonna want
to start with something big.

Lucas: That's why I'm here

Tom: Really? What?

Lucas: I'd 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. Sorry,
Mr. Hammerschmidt. Zoe.

Barnes. Right.

Did it take him a year
to remember your name?

Longen

good morning, Lucas.

What can I do for you, Zoe?

I am sick of the
Fairfax county council.

You tell me every day.

Move me online.

My own blog.

First person.
Subjective. 500 words.

Not gonna happen.

I'll go underground.

Back rooms, the urinals.

I'll win over staff
members on the hill.

They need a place to
vent. A gossip column.

No. We 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'll die with dignity.
At least at this paper.

You're 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 province trust.

Hold my calls, Christina.

Henry.

It's good to see you.

How long are you in
town for? Just today.

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've got 12 million
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 led us to believe

when you begged for
50 grand in donations.

Right.

One sec.

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 through, Christina.

Mr. President-elect.

Thank you. Yes, we were... 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...

Me too, me too.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

I'm so sorry. Where were we?

Walker, what's he like?

Is the president-elect
running late?

No. He couldn't make it.
I'll brief him, though.

Okay.

This is the memo I drafted

on our middle east policy
we've been developing.

Now, iwanna borrow from Reagan,

I'd like to coin the phrase
"trickle-down diplomacy."

That way... frank, I'm
going to stop you there.

We're 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.

Garrett 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 a 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.

No. Vvasthataruse?

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, educafionis
a top priority for us.

A complete federal overhaul.

But it's not just education,
frank. Congress is split.

We need you there more than we
need you in the state department.

I got you hued, unda.

I know. Donations, endorsements.

I wrote the campaign's
entire foreign policy platform.

I bring years of foreign
affairs committee...

Frank, please.

I wanna 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.

Evelyn: Can we make
it more 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're expanding our mission.

Okay.

And we're bringing on a
new organization to help us.

Do you know which one yet?

I'm still looking into
a few options, but...

Tell me, what did we agree on, that
we could hire how many new people?

Six? Six, maybe seven.

We'll have enough.

It's exciting.

This new direction
we're heading.

I just don't know where
we're going to fit all the people.

Do you think we have to
look into additional space?

No, no, no, no. I'll find a way.

Okay, so make the changes
to the powerpoint

and let's meet again at 2:30.

Okay.

It's me.

Ifeelhke an idiot leaving
messages like this.

Call me back.

What is it, Zoe?

Um...

I know you're going to have
your hands full at the white house,

so if you need someone to do
research or punch out background...

I think I'll be fine.

Well, ifthings gethecfic,
and you need any help.

So you can blog about rubbing
shoulders with the big boys?

What did Lucas tell you?

Look, no offense,
Zoe, but I don't have time

to be anyone's training wheels.

I just thought...

No, I was actually
offering to lend a hand.

That's it. 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're 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.
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. 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.
You're better than this, Francis.

Well, I'm 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.
That 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.

Nancy: Why do you think
they went with him?

We're too good. They can't
afford to lose us in congress.

He's had work done. A chin tuck
probably. He definitely dyes his hair.

Do we say anything?

No. God, no.
Not unless he brings it up.

Francis: Nancy?

9:25... cancel everything.

Stamper, you're with me.

Now, look...

Francis: They've done us
a great favor, Doug.

We are no longer
bound by 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.

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, Doug. One bite at a time.

Who would you want?
For secretary of state?

Give me a list of choices.
And however we do this,

we'll also need a buffer.

You mean an errand boy? Yes.

Somebody we control completely.

Hlkeeprny 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."

Priest: "And he that shall
humble himself shall be exalted."

Matthew 23:12.

All: 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 hadn'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 about that.
It's just not right.

Charles and I can't understand
what Walker was thinking.

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've bet a million dollars
they were going to 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.

He's got half
the experience you do...

Garrett is a smart man.

He knows what he's doing.

You're a bigger man
than I, frank.

You want some of that wine?

Yes, definitely.

Man, this is some good shit.
Where did you get it?

I kind of lifted
it from the vip room

of the speakers' holiday party.

I'm impressed.
Bordeaux, 20 years old.

It seemed about
right for you. Ouch.

Why would you say that to me?

I'm almost 30. That's
practically ancient in your book.

I don't discriminate
whenitcomestoage. Really?

When's the last time you
hired a 40-year-old staffer?

Doesn't mean I wouldn't.

As long as she's
good in the sack.

Come on.

Well, it's true, isn't it?

Where's this coming from?

You're not gonna
just toss me aside

for some slut
straight out of vassar?

So we're having
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 I.

Okay, I'll say 'em.

Christina Gallagher,

lick my balls.

Oh, my... you're a bastard.

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 gonna go outside and
pretend to use my cell phone.

Go.

Oh!

Can I have yourjacket?

Yeah.

Okay.

Are you coming to bed?

I'll be up in a bit.

Don't stay up all night.

No, I'll be right there.

Zoe: Thanks so much.
I'll call you.

Wait. I thought
you had a good time.

I did. I loved it.
I've never been before.

Well, maybe I could come up.

Oh.

Bnan, youte so sweet. Really.

But if I was going to
fuck you, you'd 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.

Good morning, Linda.

Thank you so much
for making the trip up.

Of course. My pleasure.

Educafion?

First things first.

The seating chart
for the inauguration.

How do these two
work for you and Claire?

Wow.

They come with
a complimentary set

of tickets to
the Jefferson ball.

Claire will be over the moon.

Good, I'm so glad.

So, education.

We have Donald blythe
drafting the legislation.

Donald blythe? Jesus. I know.

So you want a bill just
two steps left of Karl Marx?

I advised the
president-elect against it,

but Donald is
the face of education.

He's been pushing
reform for 25 years.

You want me to
guide him to the middle.

We need a bill we can pass.

Do I have absolute autonomy
and authority on this?

There's more.

Garrett wants the bill on
the floor in the first 100 days.

He wants to make a pledge
in his inaugural address.

Thats_.

That's very ambitious, Linda.

Can we make that pledge?

A hundred days?

I can deliver.

Keep me posted.

I'll talk with Donald. I'll check
in with you later in the week.

Terrific.

Did you smell that?

The smugness?
The false deference?

She thinks I can be bought
with a pair of tickets. What am I?

A whore in post-war Berlin

sahvafing over free
stockings and chocolate?

What she's asking will
cost far more than that.

Ferguson? Too old.

Willis? Too stupid.

Boyd? Tooqueer

really?

He's married with three kids.

And wouldn't they be devastated.

All right.

What about Catherine durant?

Cathy durant. She
was vocally anti-Walker.

She's got the experience.

Set up a meeting.

Hey.

The donation from sancorp?

The money will have to
come from somewhere else.

What happened?

I've looked over
the budget for fiscal '13

and we've allocated
$1.6 million for salaries.

We need to cut that in half.

You're suggesting...

Evelyn, we're going
to let some people go.

That would be half of our staff.

We have to carve out some room.

You would have to fire
some essential people

who have been with us
since the beginning.

We are a charity,
but not for our employees.

You know, Claire,
I've held my tongue about

this whole international
thing for a while,

but I don't get it.

We are really good
at what we do.

Why do we have to try
and be something we're not?

Because we've plateaued, Evelyn.

And it is time for us, for
our entire organization...

But digging Wells in Africa? We
don't know anything about that.

Which is why we have
to bring in new people.

This is the plan that I've
proposed to the board

and we are moving
forward with it.

I'd like a list
of names, please.

Claire, can we just
think about this?

I have thought about it.
I've put a lot of thought into it.

But I think...

Evelyn, you're
the office manager.

I need you to trust that
I know what I'm doing.

So please get me that list
as soon as possible.

Ma'am. You can't go up.
I'm sorry.

I just have one
question. No. No.

Sir, I apologize, this
woman... congressman.

Miss, you need to
step away from the door.

If I could just have one
second. Step away from the...

Who are you?

My name is Zoe Barnes. I'm a
reporter at the Washington herald.

It is after 10:30 at night
and this is my home.

I do not allow... we're part
of a mutual admiration society.

You're a fan of the symphony.

More for the people-watching
than the music.

It's all right, Steve.
Come on in, Ms. Barnes.

It's strong.

You'd prefer it weak?

No, the stronger the better.

There's no harm in looking.

That's a cheap ploy.

It's cheap but effective.

Well, you certainly have
my undivided attention.

Good, the reason
I'm here... oh...

Is foreplay over?

I read somewhere that jfk never
lasted more than three minutes.

The point being?

Time is precious.

Powerful people don't have
the luxury of foreplay.

Okay. So why are
you here, Ms. Barnes?

I need somebody I can talk to.

We're talking. Tell me
what we're talking about.

I protect your identity,
I printwhatever you tell me.

And I'll never
ask any questions.

And what makes you think I don't
already have such an arrangement

with one of yourcoheagues?

Because if you did, you wouldn't
have let me through the door.

I've led a very long,
very successful career

avoiding this sort of
intrigue with the press.

I can't see any
advantage in starting now.

But is there any disadvantage?

Sloppiness, for one.

I promise you
absolute discretion.

So we're talking about trust.

Use whatever word you like.

Words matter very
much, Ms. Barnes.

You should care more about
them, given your profession.

Then yes, your trust.

So which Zoe Barnes
am I to trust?

The one who wrote about the
fireman that married the meter maid?

Or the one who
authored a very fine article

on a newjogging path
in rock creek park.

Don't be flattered.
I read everything.

I'm better than what
they have me doing.

You know what that feels like.

Do I?

You would have made
a great secretary of state.

How exactly may I
help you, Ms. Barnes?

You must know the
administration's legislative agenda.

What's coming up first. I may.

Will you tell me?

What would be your guess?

Educafion. Why?

Immigration is too controversial.
Tax-reform isn't sexy enough.

Everyone can get
behind children.

Is it education?

You might very well think that.
I couldn't possibly comment.

A hint.

It's late, Ms. Barnes.

Can we talk again?

I hope you'll understand
that I want to sleep on all this.

I never make such big decisions

so long after sunset
and so far from dawn.

My cell phone's on the back.

Did you put Ms. Barnes
in the visitors' ledger?

Not yet. Don't.

Needless to say. Needless.

Hello.

Claire, this is Ms. Zoe Barnes,
of the Washington herald.

She was just leaving.

Very nice to meet you,
Mrs. Underwood.

Drive safe. There's a
lot of ice on the road.

I will. Thank you.

Does that work on anybody?

Does what?

The push-up bra
and the v-neck tee?

Well, if it does,
I don't know who they are.

Okay. Relax, relax.

License and registration.

The glove compartment,
sweetheart.

This isn't your driver's
license. It's a Starbucks card.

Oh, shit. Sorry.

Sir, have you been drinking?

No, lneverdnnk
coffee at this hour.

I'm going to need you
to step out of the car.

If I was speeding,
you can write me a ticket...

Sir, step out of
the car right now.

Look, I don't want to be a prick,
but I'm a member of congress.

I don't care ifyou're
the king of China.

China doesn't have a king.

It's a communist ogliwarchy...

Let's go. Out. You too, sweetie.

Fuck, that is hard to say.

Hello?

Good. Well, let's get him out.

Mind if I join you?

What the fuck is going on?

I thought I was meeting...

No. You're meeting me.

It's 4:00 in
the goddamn morning.

I've got a city
council meeting in...

You've been police commissioner
for what, almost a decade now?

We're here to
talk about my resume?

Mayor of DC. Would look good
on that resume, wouldn't it?

We know that you've been
angling to run for some time.

Expenenceis yoursuongsuh.

Endorsement and
fundraising are not.

We can help with that.

Russo, you're free to go.

Russo: It was just a few drinks.

Christina: It was enough
to get pulled over.

Russo: I wasn't drunk-drunk.

Were you alone?

Yes.

Say it to my face.
Watch the road.

Say it to my face!

Yes, I was alone!

You cannot keep
doing this, Peter.

It's going to catch up with you.

I know.

Do you think we
can arrange two more

at our table for
the Jefferson ball?

For whom? The holburns.

Why on earth would
you want them there?

I'm going to need
her money for the cwi.

The staff cuts
are just not enough.

I'll talk to vasquez.

How're we doing? Good.

Progress. Irons in the fire.

I like irons.

But I love fire.

Yes...

What are you...

The bill is garbage, Donald.

Tax increases? Ban on
vouchers? Federal oversight?

How do you expect me to
get that through a committee?

When Linda told me to
write it, she promised...

I'm sure she said
any number of things.

Forget what they
promised you, Donald.

They want your name
because it carries weight.

Well, my name
comes with my ideas.

I understand, but you've
got to be reasonable.

This isn't the great debate.

It's about passing
meaningful reform.

Maybe not everything you
would hope. But help me help you.

That's going to take time.

Those ideas, I've been
developing them for...

If it's time you need,
I will buy you time.

But you've got to
promise me your next at bat

is gonna give me
something I can work with.

Okay, frank,
I'll see what I can do.

Good. And, Donald,
don't let this get you down.

Together, we're going to do more

than you've been
able to do in 25 years.

Two things are now irrelevant.

Donald blythe and
Donald blythe's new draft.

Eventually, I'll have to
re-write the bill myself.

Fonivard, that is
the battle-cry.

Leave ideology to the arm-chair
generals. It does me no good.

Walkerjust nominated kern.

It's a long road
to confirmation.

Kern is a boy scout.

Nobody's a boy scout.
Not even boy scouts.

What do you have?
Absolutely nothing.

Then what are we talking about?

Just asking a simple quesfion,
doesthe job interest you?

Why would you want Michael gone?

Cathy, you and
I came up together.

The foreign affairs committee
needs a secretary we can work with.

Someone who isn't afraid to
stand up to Walker when he's wrong.

We need you.

Let's assume I am interested.

I don't want to
assume. I want to know.

2... okay. 2-6-3-7.

Please hold. Zoe Barnes.

Anywhere you want.

On my way. I'll gonna
have to call you back.

I'm so sorry. I couldn't catch a
cab. I had to take a train and I...

Just before you left my house.

Think back. What
were we discussing?

The president's
legislative agenda.

Specifically.

Educafion.

Was I right? Do the
math, Ms. Barnes.

He needs a bill.

Sponsored by?

You? Be smarter than that.

Somebody with legitimacy. Good.

And who screams
"legitimacy" in education?

Donald blythe? Correct.

The problem is...

He's an old-school
tax-and-spend liberal.

Walker ran as a moderate.

You think blythe
would talk to me?

He doesn't have to.

Wait...

We're in a very gray area,
ethically, legally, which I'm okay with...

I just love this
painting, don't you?

We're in the same boat now, Zoe.

Take care not to tip it over. I can
only save one of us from drowning.

He announces his education
initiative on Monday.

Half of the address is...

I understand.

Do we need to take it out?

We're fine, Linda.

But you just got through
saying he has to start over.

I didn't choose blythe. You did.

You put him in my lap and asked
me to work a miracle, and I will.

Now, have a little faith, Linda.

Let me work with Donald on this.

I know what can be
accomplished in 100 days.

All right, frank,
we're counting on you.

Good.

Now, I do have
a little favor to ask.

Do you think I can get
just two more tickets

for my table at
the Jefferson ball?

Dhnk?

Sure, what do you got?

Whiskey. Blends.

If you're offering.

So, how are things in
the city of brotherly love?

We're getting by.

Good, good.

I'm sorry, I made that
neat. Did you want...

No, this is perfect.

So, it seems you've
been a bit irresponsible.

What?

Don't play dumb with me, Peter.

Save it for
the ethics committee.

Drink up, you could use
a little courage right now.

You're not having one?

It's a bit early
in the day for me.

Is this about the other night?

How do you know about that?

I'm the whip.
It's my job to know.

Look, they let me off.
There's no charges.

It's all taken care of.

Honestly, Peter,
do you really think

these things just take
care of themselves?

You...

It was just this one time,
frank. I swear to god.

Then you must hold
god in very low esteem,

because we both know
that's a lie.

Solicitation,
controlled substances,

driving under theinfluence_.

You've got quite
a long list of hobbies.

What is it you want?

Your absolute,
unquestioning loyalty.

Always.

Do not misunderstand
what I mean by loyalty.

Anything. Name it, frank.

You seem far too relaxed.

I'm not.

You shouldn't be.

Doug will be in touch.

Hang on. Where have you
been? I've been calling you.

Everybody's working
double-time on inauguration

and you just up and disappear...

Hang on.

Let me call you back.

Where did you get this?
Wrong question.

The right question is how
quickly can we get it up on the site?

I have to run this past Tom.

Let's get legal on this, make
sure we're not breaking any laws.

You won't tell me your source?

I can't do that.

Fine. But if legal finds
even one... I understand.

How long do you
think that will take?

We should get this
online right away.

I'm not just going to scan
a 300-page document

and put it up before
we've gone through every...

I did that already.

The whole thing? Cover to cover.

I've got excerpts. Analysis.
3,000 words ready for editing.

You start going over that.

Get graphics working on tables,
charts, the whole nine yards.

Janine!

What's the angle, five words?

Far left of center.

That's four.

Very far left of center.

Enough to put
Walker on his heels?

Fuck his heels.
This will put him on his ass.

What's up?

We've got a copy of the
administration's education bill.

You're going to work with
Zoe, do background copy.

Zoe Barnes? Right here.

Whatever she needs.

Shouldn't I be writing the...

She wrote it already.

And I want you to re-write it, then
re-write it again. You'll help her.

Tom, I'm your chief
political correspondent. Go.

I want this by tomorrow.

But I need to focus
on the inauguration.

This is more important.

Let's get started.

Walker: That I will
faithfully execute the office

of president of
the United States.

That I will faithfully
execute the office..."

Power is a lot like real estate.

It's all about location,
location, location.

The closer you
are to the source,

the higher your property value.

Centuries from now, when
people watch this footage,

who will they see smiling
just at the edge of the frame?

Walker: "80 help me god."

Congratulations.

Today is not about
the next four years.

It's about
the next four decades.

You've placed your faith in me,

and I, in turn, choose to
place that faith in our children.

Our children are the
key to this nation's future,

and that's why the first order of
business for this administration

will be a comprehensive
education reform bill

to properly fix, finance and
strengthen our nation's schools.

And I pledge to you,

we will have that bill
on the floor of the congress

within the first 100 days
of this administration.

Felicity: It was so nice
of you to make this possible.

When you called me, I was...

Not another word.

Kern: I'm going to miss out on my
ultimate frisbee league this season.

No, I'm serious.

A few of us on budget
have quite a rivalry

going with the guys on finance.

It's fierce. We get physical.

Anybody gets between me and that
goal line, I will take that sucker down.

Donald, I've been looking
for you everywhere, maestro.

Yeah. Let me help you out there.

I really like the work you've
done on the new draft.

It's a big step fonivard. We're
going to make history together.

Thanks for your
encouragement, Francis.

Listen, I've got some
ideas about subsidies...

Catherine! Hold on to
that thought, Donald.

Don't you look stunning.

We southern girls clean up well

when we get out of our Daisy
Dukes and into some Vera wang.

And we southern boys are slow with
our words, but we're fast on our feet.

May I have the honor?

You most certainly may.

Morning, Freddy. Mornin', frank.

How's tricks? Can't kick.

You want to go on in? No,
why don't you set me up outside?

Outside? It's freezing out here.

Well, a little cold
never hurt anybody.

Anything you say, frank.

It'll be right up.

My one guilty pleasure is a good
rack of ribs. Even at 7:30 in the morning.

I have the whole
place to myself.

Freddy sometimes
opens up just for me.

Where I come from
in south Carolina,

people didn't have two
pennies to rub together.

A rack of ribs was
a luxury, like...

Christmas in July.

This web traffic
is absolutely crazy.

Dispatcher: Blue camry's wanted
in connection to a canine hit-and-run.

Hey, is this your car?

What's going on?

You want seconds, frank?

Ibefiernot

tell you what, Freddy.
Yes, I will.

I'm feeling hungry today.
