House of Cards

If I switch some doubles with Benito, is that okay?

Whatever you and him wanna work out.

Welcome to Caracas. The time is 3:21--

We've been lying for a long time, Francis.

Of course we have.

Imagine what the voters would think if we started telling the truth.

Not to them.

To each other.

What do you mean?

You know what? Never mind.

No. How have we been lying to each other?

- We're not. - You just said that.

We've begun our final descent into Des Moines.

Please find a seat and put your seat belts on.

Should we talk?

No. I shouldn't have said anything.

Where is she?

Tell me where she is.

I don't know, man.

- You don't know? - I don't know.

Ah! Oh! God!

I'm not asking again.

- My computer. - I tried that.

- It's locked. - I'll give you the code.

- You don't have anything more? - That's all I have.

- How current is this? - She's there, I promise.

I found you once. I can find you again.

If this information is wrong, you die.

You try to contact her, you die.

Frank Underwood is a dangerous man.

Because power in the hands of those who lack honesty,

lacks a moral compass.

And without a moral compass, power runs amok.

Heather Dunbar can question my husband's choices.

She can criticize his policies.

But to cast aspersions on his character is proof of desperation.

If he will lie about the death of a US soldier,

what else is he lying about?

We know he already lied about not running in 2016.

The people of Iowa know better. They see the same man I see:

a strong, decisive leader who doesn't always do what's popular,

but he always does what's right.

The decision you make next Tuesday is one you'll live with for years.

For three decades, I've stood by my husband's side.

Because I know he stands up for people like you.

You have the power to choose.

Choose progress over pettiness.

You have the power, not him.

Choose a president over a charlatan.

Ladies and gentlemen, my husband, President Frank Underwood.

Thank you! Thank you very much.

I'm gonna give you one good reason

why Heather Dunbar doesn't stand a chance on Tuesday.

She doesn't have Claire Underwood standing by her side.

I want to spend a few minutes talking about the future

that we are going to build together.

And I say together, because I can't do it alone.

I need your help.

Meet me out back.

- You have it? - Yeah. How about you?

Cassie Lockhart.

Social Security card, driver's license, birth certificate.

It's all legit.

Why "Cassie"? It's not even a real first name.

I mean, if it were short for something, like Cassandra.

- But as your legal name? - It's all there.

Hey, Cassie, take a hundred back if you want it.

My truck's right there.

You keep it.

Come on. I gave you a big discount. Show some gratitude.

Go home to your wife... and kids.

I want you to fuck me, Francis.

- I'm working. - Shut up.

What is going on?

I want you to be rough with me.

- Take me. - Claire.

- Now, listen. - Do it. Now!

Is this what you want?

- You want this? - Yes.

- Yes. - You want it rough?

I want you to look at me.

Look at me while you do it.

That's what I thought.

Yes, I'd like to arrange a room for the First Lady, please.

Yes, right away.

I think you should go back to Washington in the morning.

Hey. Sorry I'm late. I did a double at the store last night.

- No worries. - I'll work quick.

About 200,000 miles.

It's not much to look at, but... it runs well.

- How much? - Twelve hundred.

But I don't got a title, so technically, you're just buying it for parts.

Have gas in the tank?

Yeah, you can drive her right out.

- You'll need plates, though. - I got plates.

- Cash okay? - It's all we take.

Underwood! Underwood! Underwood!

Underwood! Underwood!

Yes, I'm good.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the President of the United States, Frank Underwood!

Thank you! Thank you very much.

It's good to be back in Iowa City!

Claire couldn't be here today, but she wants you to know

she's a big Hawkeyes fan.

Now here, at one of the country's finest public universities,

I wanna talk to you about Heather Dunbar's preference for--

- Hey, can you do another double tomorrow? - Yeah, no problem.

- All right, have a good night. - You, too.

Hi, I'm Cassie Lockhart.

Hello. Cassie. Hey.

Cassie. C-A-double-S-I-E.

Lockhart. L-O-C-K-H-A-R-T.

April 21st-- Just a second!

Hey. I've got rent money for you--

No, no, no, no. I have good news.

Bianca got her protected status.

Oh, my God! That's so great!

She says thank you for all your help with her paperwork.

- Of course. - We're celebrating.

Maria got a bottle from her Thursday house.

They gave it to me for the holidays.

This is nice.

I know, it's really terrible.

She has family in Houston.

They're gonna help her get into community college.

I'm so happy for her.

What about you, eh? You're not staying here forever.

Once I save up enough, I want to get my own car.

And have enough for my own place.

Here in Santa?

Up north, I think. In the woods somewhere.

I miss the trees and the rain.

Someplace quiet.

Something new.

Yeah.

Well, you're a smart girl, Lisa.

I'm sure you're gonna get everything you want.

If Bianca can do it, you can.

To Bianca! And her new life.

- Salud! - Salud!

Sir?

Do you think she can join us tomorrow?

- The press are starting to ask. - If we win, it'll be strange

if she isn't standing next to you for your victory speech.

Even stranger if you have to make a concession speech.

If I have to make a concession speech,

the absence of the First Lady will be the least of our problems.

I'm going for a run. Can you arrange the detail, please?

- Ma'am, if you run in public, it might... - Might what?

I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll take care of it right away.

No, if it's a problem with me running, tell me.

It might highlight the fact that you're not in Iowa.

Right there, please.

Quiet. Hey, hey!

Help! No!

You want me to put you out again?

Huh?

Open your mouth. Open it.

I won't make any noise.

You make one sound, or you move an inch...

- What? - I won't.

I won't scream or anything.

Nataly puts the ball on the 44 ya--

Jesus is knocking on--

Less than 24 hours to go before the Iowa caucuses,

the Republicans have a broad field with no clear front-runner.

For the Democrats, President Underwood has gained momentum in the polls.

A rise that many political experts are attributing

to the recent appearance of Claire Underwood in the--

Every major poll has it as a dead heat,

with both candidates hovering at 45 percent.

That still leaves one in ten likely caucus-goers

who won't be making their decision until tomorrow evening.

Mrs. Underwood, the president is on the phone for you.

President Underwood spent the last full day of campaigning traversing the state,

completing his tour of all 99 Iowa counties.

- Hello? - Listen.

No matter what happens tomorrow night, I want you by my side.

Are you open to that?

Claire?

I'll fly out in the morning.

No, no. You can come in the afternoon.

You don't have to do any events or press, just...

be there with me when I make my speech.

- I said yes. - Thank you.

Of course.

Last night...

Let's not. I'll see you tomorrow.

- All right. Good night. - Good night.

I'm sorry for what I did to you.

I wish I could take it back.

I told you to be quiet.

I thought I killed you.

When I heard on the news you were alive, I felt so relieved.

- I doubt that. - I mean it.

I would pray for you.

Probably sounds strange, but it's true.

I would, because I felt so bad. You didn't deserve what I did.

None of this is going to change anything.
