Previously on House of Cards...

John and I haven't slept
with each other in almost two years.

We don't even sleep
in the same bedroom.

And I don't believe you love
your husband more than ever.

And how could you possibly know?

Takes one to know one.

We used to lie in bed
and fantasise about where we'd go,

if we could go anywhere.

Where would you go?

New Mexico.

The hustler in Scorpio.

That was you, wasn't it?

The hustler
was based on a friend of mine.

What happened to him, your friend?

Suicide.

If it weren't for this unjust law,

and ignorance and intolerance
of your government,

Michael would still be with us.

Shame on you, Mr President.

We're murderers, Francis.

No, we're not. We're survivors.

I should've never made you
ambassador.

I should've never made you president.

Do you renew your commitment
to this woman

as your lawful wedded wife,

to love her, honour her, comfort her,

keep her in sickness and in health,

forsaking all others, be true to her
as long as you both shall live?

I do.

Do you renew your commitment
to this man

as your lawful wedded husband,

to love him, honour him, comfort him,

keep him in sickness and in health,

forsaking all others, be true to him

as long as you both shall live?

I do.

May this renewed commitment
deepen your love for each other

and strengthen your eternal bond.

Francis?

No photographs
when they unload his body.

You'll promise me that?

A lot of people
are calling you a hero.

A lot of people aren't.

Francis, I will get
this peacekeeping resolution

passed through the General Assembly.

I owe you that.

So, we have the photograph tomorrow
for the Presidential portrait.

It's what they're gonna
base the painting on.

I'll be smiling. Will you?

What are they doing?

Part of a cultural exchange, sir,
with Tibet.

They'll be here for a month.

A month?

Don't worry. Your handwriting
is atrocious, couldn't read a thing.

Tom.

- I know. Kate Baldwin.
- I know.

Gold stars for us.

It only took two months,
riding on the same plane,

to introduce ourselves.

Maybe I'm shy.

No, you're not.

You just don't mingle
with the peasants.

If one of us is a peasant,
I think it's me.

I'm sorry I can't stay here
in Gaffney with you.

It's okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

Maybe tonight, if all goes well.

Feeling optimistic?

I made you a promise.

Well, go on.
You have a plane waiting.

Yeah, okay. Thank you.

Hey, Tom.

The Republicans are introducing
a bill that amends the Stafford Act.

They say that the siphoning
of FEMA funds for America Works

violates the appropriation.

So let them.

It's got bipartisan support.

Dunbar's going to
publicly support the bill.

What about Jackie?

She's trying to stay out of it,

but if it goes to a vote,
she's gotta go with the tide.

We don't want her poll numbers
to take a hit

just as she's starting to gain
on Dunbar.

If they pass the bill, I'll veto it.

If they override,
I'll refuse to enforce.

And by the time it gets
to the Supreme Court,

we'll have jobs to show and they'll
have nothing but rhetoric.

This is a public relations battle,
not a legal one.

- Statement?
- Just what I said, less combative.

So, how do we wanna do this?

I think the First Lady should sit,
you behind her.

Does that work for you,
Mrs Underwood?

Yes, whatever works best.

Let me adjust the light for her
and then I'll place you, sir.

The African bloc
just added a provision

to the peacekeeping resolution.

What does it say?

"Requires African command
of the forces."

It's a poison pill, Francis.

There's no way Israel or Palestine
will get on board with that.

You think the Russians are behind it?

Probably.
Cathy and I are investigating.

All right, Mr President.
Just behind your wife, please.

Would you prefer I not?

What?

Where you had your hand is perfect.

Great. All right, here we go.

A little more of a smile, please.

Come in.

Any luck today?

Moryakov says it wasn't them.

Not that I trust him.

So now, I just need to see
if I can get Zimbabwe to talk.

Today, when we took the photo,

I touched your shoulder.

Yes?

You flinched.

- What?
- I felt it.

No, I didn't.

It was like you recoiled.

I think you're reading too much
into something

that I don't think actually happened.

All right. Forget I said anything.

Wait.

I just...

Never mind.
I don't know what I was gonna say.

Good night.

House must have been
somewhere out there.

Well, if you can call it a house.

It was no bigger than that truck.

Nothing left of the farm,
which is for the best.

Peaches didn't wanna
grow here anyway.

That's what you get
for planting on land

with solid rock
two feet below the top soil.

You know, that's one of the points
that we should make in the book,

that hard work is only worth it
in the right conditions.

We wanna set people up for success.

Vocational training,
legitimate career paths.

Welcome back! How was Gaffney?

Do we have a time set
for Ambassador Caspi yet?

Her office is stalling.

Get her schedule.
We'll go wherever she is.

I think she'll be
at the cocktail reception tonight

at the Mexican Consulate.

I'll call and find out.

What's that?

It came in for you this morning.

Francis?

John Pasternak.
Michael Corrigan's husband.

The latest pile of interview requests
is on your desk.

Most of them Corrigan related.

And GLAAD wants you
to be a keynote speaker

at their Media Awards ceremony.

How did he know?

About your vows?
It's been in the news.

No, that I like tulips.

Did your mother work?

As a maid mostly,
in high demand because she was white.

People assumed
she wouldn't steal any valuables.

But, of course, she did.

I remember one night she came home
with two sapphire earrings.

She took 'em to the pawn shop
in Spartanburg the next day,

but she wore them all night long,
even slept in 'em.

I guess she wanted to know what it
felt like to have real jewellery,

even if it was just for a few hours.

That does not go in the book.

Why didn't your parents
have any more kids?

That's not relevant
to what we're doing.

I'm just trying to get
a sense of your family.

The barn must've been
somewhere right over there.

My father used to escape in there,
to get away from us.

Usually brought a bottle with him.

Did you love your father?

He was a good man, down deep.

He cared for us greatly.

Worked hard to put food on the table.

Didn't always succeed,
but that wasn't for a lack of trying.

See, that's not an answer.

I asked you if you loved your father,
but you don't tell me.

You tell me
what you want me to write,

which is what you've done
since the beginning.

It's time to start telling the truth.

- You think I've been lying?
- I know you have.

The only time you haven't
is that one night in the White House.

The worst adventure
I've ever been on, I can promise you.

I don't get it.

Game's un-winnable.

- What is the point?
- That is the point.

Well, I find it unlikely

that we'll ever progress
by starting over and over again.

- But it's gotta be better than this.
- God.

Okay, let's give it a shot. Why not?

Something was very...

It just started over again.

It keeps doing that over and over.

You ignore his instructions,
he sends you back.

Well, what if I follow
his instructions?

Chaos takes over.

Randomness.
It's impossible to follow the rules.

Another time.
It's too much like my real life.

Besides, we shouldn't
be playing games.

You should be asking me questions.

You're getting me drunk.

I won't remember what I asked.

The last time I got this drunk,

I broke into a library in Charleston,
my alma mater.

The Sentinel.

Almost puked all over myself.

That's chapter eight.
POTUS blows chunks.

Can you keep it down, please?

- Come join us.
- So sorry.

I was asleep.

We'll move into the study.

Thank you.

Francis?

I'll be right there in a minute.

I don't like him being up here.

We'll be more quiet.

This is our private space.

- He's my guest.
- He's a stranger.

All right. After tonight, no more.

I'm not being unreasonable.

I should've realised
how much noise we were making.

Can I ask you a question?

Well, that's what you're here for,
isn't it?

Why don't you sleep in the same room?

That just sort of happened over
a few months after we moved in here.

Everything okay between you two?

You bet.

Well, it's been better.

No, it's not okay.

The fight?

Coming back from Moscow?

You heard us?

The yelling. Not what you said.

We don't fight often but, well...

This one,

the scabs keep coming off.

We said things.

Things you just can't take back.

It's late, we should call it a night.

Thomas...

I have no interest in salaciousness.

August 14th is the anniversary
of the New Deal.

- I'd like to hit 20,000 by that date.
- I believe we can do that, sir.

Remy, what's the timeline

on the Senate bill
outlawing FEMA funds?

The Leg office predicts
the Senate version

will pass in two to three weeks.

We're working with
a few friendlies in the House,

throw some pork on and slow it down.

Well, that's all the more reason
that we need to accelerate.

If I'm gonna veto this bill,

I want it to be because
it's gonna kill 50,000 new jobs,

jobs that we created.

- Yes, sir.
- Cathy?

The Russians remain intransigent
on the Jordan Valley.

The Ambassador's working hard to push
the peacekeeping resolution

to a vote by the General Assembly.

Why the delay?

We're having a hard time
getting the African bloc

to remove the poison pill provision.

We think Israel's behind it.

They got cold feet,
convinced the African bloc

to sabotage the resolution,
so they have an out.

Do I need to speak
to the Prime Minister?

The Israeli Ambassador
has already denied.

I think we need to keep our focus
on the provision itself.

The head of the African bloc
is Zimbabwe,

and we believe Israel
has promised them

a sizable aid package
for HIV prevention.

The Secretary and I recommend

increasing our relief funds
to Zimbabwe, outspend the Israelis.

Well, President Chimbetu
will just pocket the money.

Well, we always anticipate
a certain level of graft...

A certain level?

- He's egregious. The man's a monster.
- Who happens to run the African bloc.

Who happens to kill his own people
when he's not stealing from them,

which is why
I reduced aid to Zimbabwe.

If we want him
to remove the amendment,

we have to be persuasive.

We are scraping together
every penny we can to save AmWorks.

The last thing I want is to be
slammed for giving additional money

to a brutal dictator from USAID
just to persuade him.

This is ill-conceived.

You should think before you bring
a proposal such as this.

We'll pursue other strategies
and get back to you, Mr President.

Thank you. Robert, what's
the latest on the omnibus?

The legislation should go

to the floor
in the next couple of months.

The leadership is pushing
to accelerate...

Set up calls
with both Lockheed and Northrop.

We'll pay people to get trained
and call it a job.

It's not a job
unless the union says it is.

Well, one step at a time.

You set up the training,
and I'll speak to the AFL.

Are the AARP here?

In the lobby.

The Chairman told me
they wanna support Dunbar.

They're just trying to rattle us.

Dunbar's promising
to save Social Security.

Go after Wall Street and government
waste instead of entitlements.

- Well, get 'em in here.
- You have your call list.

Their meeting's not
for another 10 minutes.

Well, start bringing them over.

It'll take 'em that long
to hobble over on their walkers.

- Francis?
- I'll go get 'em.

I only have a few minutes.

You singled me out today on purpose.

- What?
- The Cabinet meeting.

If I'm gonna invite you
to Cabinet meetings,

there's not gonna be any kid gloves.

Don't make it sound like a favour.

You wanted to be there. I agreed.

Well, so, I could be informed
and do my job.

Everyone in that room is judged
by what they bring to the table.

What you brought to the table
was amateurish.

Both Cathy and I proposed that plan.

I fault her as much as you.
You're making this too personal.

It is personal.

I think you're punishing me
for what happened in Russia.

Come on.

Well, you said it on the plane,
appointing me was a mistake.

Yeah, you said
far worse things to me.

Yes, and I've gone out of my way
to put that fight behind us.

Really? Like with Thomas.

When you screamed at us
for waking you up.

- I didn't scream.
- It was embarrassing.

Who cares what he thinks?

He was our guest,
and you walked in there like...

I think you're searching for things
that aren't there

and you're ignoring
the things that are.

Like this photograph
flinching nonsense.

Jesus.

- Do you want me to resign, Francis?
- Don't be ridiculous.

Just say it.
You never wanted me to be Ambassador.

You remember what you said
to me on the plane?

You should have never
made me President.

I was upset. I didn't mean it.

You did mean it.
You think you made me.

No, I don't.
I think we're a team, actually.

Well, we're not a team at the moment.

I can't believe we've become this.

- Become what?
- Like everyone else.

You ready, sir?

No, just give me a minute,
let the smoke clear.

Where are we at?

Her hair's different, but I...

- Where was this taken?
- Santa Fe.

I've narrowed the search
to focus just on that city.

This is all I have,
but I think it's a good start.

- I should go there.
- No.

These photos are three weeks old.

She might have
just been passing through.

Or she might still be there.

Okay, but if you
start asking questions,

you might tip her off.

Get me more, then.

How's my passport coming?

I'll get the lock lifted
when you find her.

Yeah. I've shown you some progress.

I think I should be seeing progress
on your side, too.

This isn't enough.

They just arrested
another one of my friends.

- They could charge me at any minute.
- Gavin...

The things that I've had to do
to get this much are fucked up.

An exact location.

That was our deal.

Can you get me the camera feed?

The system's monitoring it.

I want it, too.

I'll send you a link.

Doug. This is Maurice.
He'll be taking over for me.

I'm moving to Seattle.

My sister's opening up
her own PT centre,

and she wants me to be a partner.

I'm moving all my clients over
to new folks,

so I can help the transition.

I'll be sad to see you go.

I'll go get some bar floats.
Back in a second.

Look, I'm having people over
this Thursday.

It's a going-away thing at my place.
You should come.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

I'll text you the details.

I want to go after the big boys,
notjust Wall Street but Walmart.

I'd be careful with Walmart.

You'll lose a lot of friends
in Congress.

Let's force them to take sides.

That means Jackie Sharp, too.

Introduce legislation.

She either votes for it
or we hit her hard.

Any corporation who has more than 10%
of its employees on food stamps

has to increase wages
until they're below 10%...

Doug?

Yeah, I'll put a list together.

You'll have something
by the end of the week.

Okay. Talk to you then.

You made it.

Yeah.

- How long have you been here?
- 10 minutes.

Come on,
we need to get people dancing.

Actually, I was thinking
that I should go.

I just came over to say goodbye.

No. You are not going anywhere.

You don't have to dance,
but you can't leave.

Last man standing.

You have recycling?

Just leave 'em on the counter.
I'll take care of it tomorrow.

You really don't have to help.

I don't mind.

You're such a gentleman.

Don't know about that.

You're not a gentleman?

Because that could be interesting.

I made you a café au lait.

Wow.

How is it? Need sugar?

No, it's perfect.

When are the movers coming by?

Not for a couple hours.

You need any help?
Packing the rest up?

No, you just relax.

You seemed a little sad last night.

No, just tired.

Was that it? You were just tired?

Someone I haven't heard from
in a long time.

She reached out,
so it's a little hard.

Last night wasn't
'cause you felt sorry for me, was it?

No.

Last night was because
I'm getting on a plane today

and I'll probably
never see you again.

Why not?

You know it rains a lot
in Seattle, right?

Are you going to come with me
to the Memorial today?

- Do I need to be there?
- No.

I'm buried right now.

Fine.

Why has Tom Yates
been hanging around so much?

Is he writing a book
on the President?

We've all asked him. He won't say.

Ballsy move if it's true.

Yeah. I can't stand his writing.

Are you an idiot?

I'm an idiot for having an opinion?

There's no opinions to be had.
His writing is gorgeous.

Well, in my opinion it isn't.

Said the guy
who can't write a grocery list.

Ready whenever you are, sir.

"Today marks the 80th anniversary
of the Social Security Act.

"It has survived longer than many
of its beneficiaries.

"We should all be so lucky
to live as long as it has.

"But by the time the human body
has circled the Sun 80 times,

"its youth and vigour are gone.

"Joints ache.
Bones and muscles are weaker.

"The heart doesn't beat
with the same power it once did.

"All of us must face
this truth eventually.

"And when we do,
we must hand the baton to the young.

"To those who have the strength to
carry on our work when we are gone.

"Here's another truth,
Social Security is dying.

"Now, in its 80th year,
it must give way

"to a new, younger, stronger plan
for the future.

"That plan is America Works.

"In Washington D.C. alone,

"we've managed to reduce unemployment
by over a third

"and put 25,000 people to work.

"If we can accomplish so much
in so little time here in Washington,

"imagine what we could accomplish

"if Congress funded
America Works nationwide.

"We wouldn't be talking
about thousands of jobs.

"We'd be talking about millions.

"Later this afternoon,
I will visit FDR's memorial

"to pay my respects to the man

"who ushered in Social Security
80 years ago.

"We honour the dead for giving us
the world we inherited.

"However, we must recognise
we are doomed

"if we allow the dead to govern us.

"Thank you and God bless
The United States of America."

From NBC News in Washington,

this is
Meet the Press with Chuck Todd.

Good morning
and welcome to Meet The Press.

I have with me Congresswoman Huntley
and Congressman Greer.

Congresswoman, let me start with you.

In the President's radio address
today,

he said the model here in Washington
is a model for the nation.

Do you agree?

I do, Chuck.
I was sceptical at first.

Both my parents
benefited from Social Security.

And I've always counted on it
for myself.

But when I think
about my kids and my grandkids...

Rebecca raises a good point.

One that we've been making
in the Republican party for decades.

And yet,
while you support America Works,

most of the members
of your party do not.

Chuck, I've never been
a big fan of Frank Underwood.

But the park near my house here
in Washington has never been cleaner.

The dry cleaners I go to
just hired two new people this month.

The day care I drop my kids off at
doubled their staff

so the children can get
more individual attention.

The President may have overstepped
in taking FEMA money,

but when something works, it works,

and America Works works.

Hello.

Promise the money.

Whatever you need to turn him around.

I'll approve the USAID funds.

What made you change your mind?

Today, at the Memorial,

you know what struck me the most?

Eleanor.

She was off by herself. Alone.

And so was Franklin. He was alone.

Then there was a wall between them.

The monks.

They've been here for weeks,
we haven't even discussed them once.

It's beautiful, isn't it,
what they're doing?

It is.

Francis, I watched them
for over an hour today.

And all I was thinking was

why aren't you and I
sharing this together.

We have to do something, Claire.

I know.

What are you thinking?

My natural colour,
like when I first met Francis.

- This colour?
- Yes, exactly.

Okay. Have a seat.

I want to take
the sleeves up a touch.

I think they're perfect. Thank you.

- What do you think?
- Beautiful.

We have gathered today
to renew the vows

between Francis J. Underwood
and Claire Hale Underwood.

It was here, in this church,
28 years ago before God

that you two first committed
yourselves to one another.

May this renewed commitment

deepen your love for each other
and strengthen your eternal bond.

Claire's father bought us this house.

I wanted to pay for it myself,
it's always bothered me.

You weren't bothered to let him pay
for your first campaign.

Yeah, but that's politics.
It's different.

You take money
wherever you can get it.

Now this was our first home.

Was it a happy home?

Please.

I thought you brought me here

because we were going to
cut through the bullshit.

Look, this book is supposed to be
about America Works.

There is no book
without you at the centre of it.

Do you trust me? Or don't you?

Because if you don't,
get someone else to write it.

Or write it yourself.

You don't know what it's like

to go through life
looking over your shoulder,

having secrets
no one would understand.

I didn't write my first book.

My friend, the one who died...

- He wrote it?
- The first half.

He didn't show it
to anyone except me.

In the hospital,
he asked me to destroy it.

I told him I would.

It was too good.

It needed to be finished.
So I finished it.

- And took all the credit.
- Yeah.

It's my part, the ending,
that's what people remember.

But the book, my entire career,

it's all based on a lie.

You don't have a monopoly on secrets.

There's tulips buried under here.

Claire planted them.

I've always, from day one,

been ashamed she said yes
when I asked her to marry me.

Why?

I didn't think I deserved her.

But I can tell you this, though,

there would have been
no White House without Claire.

I was half the man before I met her.

But still I've been selfish,

feeding off her the way I have.

She knew what she was getting into.

Probably.

She knows me
better than I know myself.

Sir?

We're scheduled to fly out at 6:15.

Should probably leave
in the next few minutes.

Thank you, Meechum.

Scribble away.

So, what did he tell you
in front of the house?

Nothing much.

It looked intense. Whatever it was.

See, this is why
I don't ride in the van.

You did this time.

Sometimes you just need
to leave someone alone.

All right. I got the hint.

I meant him. Not me.

Where are they?

- Who?
- The monks.

They finished earlier today, sir.

So it's gone?

I believe so.

I didn't get a chance to see it.

I'm sure they took a photo.

Will you ask someone
to get me a copy?

Right away, sir.

Thank you for being here tonight.

Thank you.

Claire.
I almost didn't recognise you!

Yes. I decided
it was time for a change.

It's very fetching.

I hope you don't mind
me crashing your party.

Of course not.
My staff said you'd be out of town.

Would you mind if I borrowed
Ambassador Caspi for a moment?

Of course.

You've been avoiding me
for three weeks.

I had a trip to Jerusalem.

You promised Zimbabwe 35 million

so they'd introduce
the poison pill amendment.

For purely humanitarian reasons.

No. This is the first time
you've ever sent aid to Zimbabwe.

Don't draw connections
that don't exist.

We would never try to
sabotage the resolution.

The United States is our ally.

That's right, we are. So act like it.

Excuse me?

My husband formally approved

our own humanitarian package
for 80 million.

Zimbabwe will be withdrawing
the amendment tomorrow.

And when the resolution
goes to a vote,

I expect Israel to support it
like the loyal ally she is.

Not lie to us.

That's not the way
to solicit our support.

I'm not soliciting. I'm demanding.

I feel sorry for you, Claire.

Your husband sends you to talk tough.

But as soon as things go wrong
in the Jordan Valley,

he'll turn his back and leave Israel
to clean up the mess.

He doesn't have the muscle.

He can't even get Congress
to work with him.

Or back you up
after you called out Petrov.

He turned his back on you
just like he will on us.

My husband is the bravest
and most resolute man I know.

He will succeed in this plan.

Brave?

I served in Jordan Valley.

As did the President
and the Foreign Minister. Has he?

You held a gun
and somebody told you where to stand.

Don't confuse that with the burden
the Commander in Chief faces.

Francis has given the order to kill.

He's buried soldiers
he put into harm's way.

Every day he wakes up
bearing responsibilities

you can't possibly imagine.

They would crush you
if they fell on your shoulders.

So you talk to your superiors.

And when the amendment
is withdrawn tomorrow,

you will commit
to supporting the resolution.
