也許格蘭頓-希爾能提供你一個職位 Maybe there's something for you at Glendon Hill.

瑞秋·波斯納 有個朋友要來我這兒暫住幾天 不用擔心 她只是要找個地方住
現在只要總統一個電話 All the President has to do is pick up the phone,
大橋就能批下來了 and the bridge is approved.
如果總統想參與這事 If the President had wanted to be involved,
他早就打電話了 he would have already made that call.
本來就是他的提議 琳達 It's his initiative, Linda.
曾經是 但現在貿易戰已經打響了 Was his initiative. We're in a trade war now.
那也用不著把好端端的政策全丟掉 But that doesn't mean we have to abandon good policy.
這會與他現在的立場不一致 It's inconsistent with his current stance.
外資投資管理委員會有30天的時間批準開建 The Committee on Foreign Investment has 30 days to approve.
但現在只剩六天了 There's only six days left.
沒有美國總統的 They won't act without a directive
直接指示 他們絕不會批準的 from the President of the United States.
我不明白 你一直堅定支持對中國 I'm confused, you've been the biggest proponent
采取強硬態度 of a strong position against China.
這話可不對 That is not true.
我早先的建議與此相反 I advocated the opposite early on.
你似乎很在乎這座橋 You seem fixated on this bridge.
還有別的原因嗎 Is something else going on here?
失業率達到9.2% Unemployment is at nine-point-two,
通貨膨脹率飆升 inflation is skyrocketing,
我們馬上就要丟掉多數席位了 we're on the verge of losing our majority.
總統需要一則好消息向世人公布 The president needs to offer a piece of good news.
一座橋 簡直是微不足道 A bridge? That's a drop in the bucket.
工作 基礎設施 Jobs, infrastructure,
削減赤字 deficit reduction--
你還是沒說實話 You're still not being straight with me.
我沒別的用心 I have no ulterior motive here,
如果你非要這么想 but if you feel that strongly
總統也非要這么想的話 and the president feels that strongly,
那我就不管了 then I'll back off.
不會再提了 I won't mention it again.
這的確是個明智的決定 I think that's a wise decision.
我們該團結起來 We should be a united front.
非常贊同 I couldn't agree more.
謝謝 Thank you.
為什么凡事都這么不容易 Why does everything have to be a struggle?
就沒人能說一次"好"嗎 Can't some people just say "Yes" for once?
先生 Sir.
我要總統明后天的日程表 I need the president's schedule for the next two days.
她改變主意了嗎 She change her mind?
你覺得呢 What do you think?
我們下一步做什么 So what's our next move?
我去辦橋的事 I'll focus on the bridge,
你去跟印第安人事務部談 you talk to the Indian affairs.
懷特豪爾的部落越早得到認證 The sooner that Whitehall's tribe gets recognized,
賭場就能越早動工 the sooner they can break ground on that casino.
是 先生 Yes sir.
也許這對我有幫助 Maybe it will help me, you know?
多公開談談那事 If I talk about it more in the open.
就像在你的訪談上那樣 I mean that's what your interview did.
我打進電話 公開說出那些事 When I called. When I could say those things out loud.
我們不想讓你覺得你有義務如此 Well, we don't want you to feel obligated.
我知道媒體還一直纏著你 I know the press hasn't left you alone.
如果他們還要繼續給我拍照 If they're going to keep taking pictures of me,
我至少該說點什么 I should at least say something.
麥金尼斯上軍事法庭指日可待 Well, that's only going to become more intense
事態會越來越緊張 when McGinnis gets closer to his court-marshal.
是啊 我知道 Yeah, I know.
我準備好了 I'm prepared.
如果你能去跟三軍委員會談談 If you come and speak to the Armed Services Committee,
說出你的往事 tell your story,
那么法案一定能進入投票階段 I feel confident we can get it to a vote.
這樣的重磅新聞他們不能無視 I'd be too much coverage to ignore it.
你覺得法案會通過嗎 And you think it will pass?
要先要通過委員會 We need to get it through committee first.
但我要說明 梅根 But let's be clear, Megan,
你不光要舉證 it's not just the testimony.
稍后你還得面對媒體 We'll need you to do a media avail after.
拍照片 做聲明 Photo ops, a statement.
-好的 -你不是一個人 - Ok. - You won't be alone.
我會一直支持你 I'll be standing right next to you.
還有我 And so will I.
好的 Ok.
你覺得這樣做對嗎 Do you think we're doing the right thing?
把她拉到鏡頭前 Hauling her in front of the cameras?
她說她想這樣做 我們得相信她 We have to trust her when she says she wants to.
但重要的是 But it's very important
不僅是你 白宮也支持我們 that the White House backs us up on this, not just you.
我不確定加勒特會不會公開表示支持 I'm not sure if Garrett will get involved publicly.
你能和他談談嗎 Well, can you talk to him?
我們最近沒怎么交談 We haven't been doing much talking about anything lately.
情況還沒好轉嗎 Things haven't gotten any better?
我們差不多一個禮拜沒說過話了 We haven't said a word to each other in almost a week.
我也經歷過 真可怕 I've been there, it's awful.
和弗蘭克嗎 With Frank?
當然 Sure.
你們是怎么做的 What did you do?
我們找了一個人 We saw someone.
你是指心理咨詢師嗎 You mean a therapist?
不擔心被曝光嗎 Weren't you worried about exposure?
他是個牧師 He was a minister.
嚴格說 他不是心理咨詢師 He wasn't exactly a therapist.
更像是精神指引那種的 It was more like a spiritual guidance, type thing.
唯一的區別是他有學位 The only difference was that he had a degree.
我可以幫你聯系 I could put you in touch.
太冒險了 It's too risky.
只是個建議而已 Just a suggestion.
你要是改變主意就告訴我 Let me know if you change your mind.
謝謝 Thanks.
那么你能試著和加勒特談談嗎 In the meantime, can you try to talk to Garrett?
我們非常需要他的支持 We really need his support with this.
我會的 I will.
什么事 Yes?
請帶他進來 Show him in, please.
雷米 Remy.
這么正式 So formal.
請坐吧 Would you have a seat?
你不該讓實習生工作到這么晚 Shouldn't keep your interns so late.
我們也許沒有個人生活 但他們有 You and I might not have lives, but they do.
有工作沒做完就要繼續做 這他們懂 When there's work to be done, we work. They know that.
為什么晚上10點叫我過來 Why am I here at 10 at night?
共和黨的錢從哪來的 Where is the GOP getting their money?
你是問那兩千五百萬吧 That is a $25 million question, isn't it?
你一定知道 You must have an idea.
你為什么會那么認為 What makes you think that?
因為你無所不知 Because you know things.
所以格蘭頓-希爾升你做合伙人 That's why Glendon Hill made you partner.
我們大部分客戶都是民主黨人 Most of our clients are Democrats.
我和你一樣毫不知情 I'm just as much in the dark as you are.
我要失去我的選區了 雷米 I'm losing in my district, Remy.
真希望我能幫你 And I wish I could help you.
就算我贏得選舉 也無所謂了 Even if I pull off a win, it doesn't matter.
共和黨占據眾議院多數席位 The GOP takes the House,
我會被踢出領導層 I lose my spot in the leadership,
失去職務 失去我為之努力的一切 this office, everything I've worked for.
我替你難過 I feel for you.
但你想要的是我不知道的信息 But you want information i don't have.
我們上次的見面 Are you upset
讓你不高興了嗎 about the last time we saw each other?
完全沒有 Not at all.
我說的很清楚 I made myself clear.
我們能談談嗎 Can we talk?
不談工作 不談政治 No work, no politics.
你想談什么都可以 We can talk about whatever you want.
我跟人約會 從未超過六個月 I've never... been with anyone for more than six months.
我在軍隊的時候 總是四處奔波 When I was in the army I was always on the move and, um...
進入國會之后 Since I've been in Congress,
又實在沒有時間 I just haven't had time.
我不是要你嫁給我 I wasn't asking to marry you.
只是想比一夜情更認真一些 Just to be more than company for a night.
你依然那么想嗎 Do you still want that?
我來了 不是嗎 I'm here, aren't I?
那我們必須劃定一個界限 There would have to be clear boundaries.
我們私底下的事 Whatever we have privately
不能影響我們的公事關系 couldn't affect our professional relationship.
那我們就不該在你的辦公室談這些 Then we shouldn't be having this conversation in your office.
很高興我們能把話說開 I'm glad we had this meeting.
如果你還想見我 給我打電話 If you'd like to have another, just call me.
我們可以省掉秘書這一關 We can leave the secretaries out of it.
我會再看看 讓琳達聯系你們 I'll review this and have Linda get in touch.
-謝謝 先生 -謝謝 先生 - Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
早上好 總統先生 Good morning, Mr. President.
你好 弗蘭克 Hi, Frank.
我把波本威士忌放在家里了 I left my bourbon at home,
但你有時間喝個咖啡嗎 but you have time for some coffee?
我不用 你自便 I'm fine, you go ahead.
我想跟你談談 I wanted to talk to you
杰斐遜港大橋 about the Port Jefferson Bridge.
琳達說你們倆談過了 Linda told me you two spoke.
你重新考慮過嗎 Have you reconsidered?
現在時機不對 弗蘭克 It's not the right time, Frank.
等到緊張局勢過去后 We'll find some other project
我們再找別的項目展示我們的計劃 to showcase our program once tensions subside.
在競選中 During the campaign,
你反復承諾會重視重要的基建 you repeatedly promised to address critical infrastructure.
我們已經進入了你任期的第二個年頭 We're well into your second year.
這個項目已經蓄勢待發 This project is ready to go,
你也不想再重頭搞一個吧 you don't want to have to start from square one.
我在想中期選舉的事 I'm thinking midterms.
我們得表現出一致性 We have to project consistency.
但人們不會為了一致性投票 Except people don't vote for consistency,
他們只為確實的進展投票 they vote for concrete progress.
琳達說你似乎對這座橋很執迷 Linda mentioned that you seemed obsessed with this bridge.
我現在覺得她說對了 I'm beginning to think she was right.
那個背后捅刀的惡心婊子 The backstabbing, vomit-inducing bitch.
她說對了嗎 弗蘭克 Is she right, Frank?
跟我說說你為什么這么在乎這座橋 Tell me why this bridge is so important to you.
我不想讓你受影響 I wanted to insulate you from this--
受什么影響 From what?
你讓我與中國人私下接觸 You asked me to back channel with the Chinese
我就繼續那么做了 and I have continued to do so.
不 我讓你停止跟中國人私下接觸 No, I told you to stop back channeling
而你還是那么做了嗎 and you did anyway?
還不告訴我 弗蘭克 Without informing me, Frank--
我得拉開你的距離 I needed to distance you.
有些事是不能讓總統知道的 There are issues that a president cannot be aware of.
什么事 What issues--
但我能告訴你的是 But, what I can tell you...
大橋的建設 ...is that the building of this bridge
可以直接影響我們在中期選舉中 directly affects our ability to combat the Republicans
與共和黨的對抗 in the midterms.
中國人是不是... Have the Chinese--
總統先生 你正在問 Mr. President, you are asking questions
你不想知道答案的問題 you do not want the answers to.
我們的風險有多大 弗蘭克 All right, how much danger are we in, Frank?
如果我們現在就結束談話 就沒有風險 None if we end this conversation right now.
有時候我覺得 Sometimes I feel like
我已經無法控制我自己的政府了 I'm losing control over my goddamn administration.
你承受著很大壓力 先生 You're under pressure, sir,
但你并沒有失控 but you're not losing control.
有很多人在幫你 You have people who are looking out for you:
我 琳達 你妻子 me, Linda, your wife.
我對她也快失去控制了 I might be losing control of her too.
我不該這么說 I shouldn't have said that...
當然她也是為我著想 Of course she wants the best for me.
克萊爾說了什么嗎 Has Claire said anything?
我知道她們有聊天 I know they talk.
不多 Not much...
只是說你們之間有點磕磕絆絆 just that things have been a little rocky.
那真是說得太輕了 Well, that's an understatement.
你的工作是世界上最難做的 You have the most difficult job on earth.
換了誰婚姻上都會出現問題 It would take a toll on any marriage.
所以我勸你 Which is why I'm urging you
重新考慮一下橋的事 to reconsider your decision on the bridge.
我這話不是以副總統的身份 And I'd say that not as your vice president...
而是以你朋友的身份 but as your friend.
因為我在乎你 Because I care about you.
好吧 我會再看看 All right, I'll... I'll have another look at it.
謝謝你 總... Thank you, Mr--
謝謝你 加勒特 Thank you, Garrett.
弗羅斯特先生 Mr. Frost.

還有別的申請我們 There are other applications which we--
丹尼爾·拉尼根把我們踢出部落了 Daniel Lanagin disenrolled us.
我們失去了印第安人事務局的福利 We lost our right to BIA benefits.
你不單只是要開賭場吧 Is this more about starting a casino?

你可以 Yes, you can.

兩個月 Two months.
如果歷史核查沒問題 Maybe less if all the ancestry holds up.
拉尼根知道了 Lanagin knows.

想個法子 讓我能去密蘇里 I need a way to get to Missouri
又不引人注意 without attracting any attention.
烏麥克的選區在堪薩斯城 Womack's district's in Kansas City.

只有三千起上報 only 3,000 reported because--
我知道是什么情況 I know the figures.
你知道多少人因為創傷而自殺 Do you know how many suicides result from the trauma--

能晚點再說嗎 Can we discuss this later?
這次會面還是我預約的呢 加勒特 I had to schedule this meeting, Garrett.
現在大中午的 特莉莎 It's the middle of the day, Tricia.
你十分清楚 You know very well...
別逼我回家再游說你 Don't make me lobby you when I go home--
很抱歉打擾了 總統先生 I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. President.
秘書長到了 The secretary general's here.
再給我兩分鐘 I got two more minutes.
現在12點30了 他約的是12點15 It's 12:30. He was scheduled for 12:15.
我馬上走 I'll go.
你應該挽留我 You were supposed to tell me to stay,
但很高興我至少還值兩分鐘 but it's nice to know I'm worth at least two minutes.
你好 特莉莎 Hi, Tricia.
不 沒事的 No, please, don't worry about it.
那真是太糟了 Oh, that's awful.
好 當然 Yes, of course.
我去找找他的電話 Let me grab his number for you.
好 Right.
他叫托馬斯·拉金博士 His name is Dr. Thomas Larkin,
號碼是2022516258 at 202-251-6258.
如果你想的話 我可以提前和他聯系 And if you'd like, I can give him a call beforehand
讓他知道你要去找他 and let him know you'll be reaching out.
好的 有什么我能幫忙的盡管開口 Okay. Well you let me know if I can be of any help.
晚安 特莉莎 Good night, Tricia.
你覺得怎么樣 What do you think?
等著瞧吧 We'll see.
我的主旨是將色原說 The idea is to take color theory
徹底顛覆 and turn it on its head.
打破所有陳規 Break all the rules.
真是精彩 They're gorgeous.
你說你的客戶是誰來著 Who'd you say your client is?
我還沒說過 I didn't.
我只是想沒準我認識他 I was just wondering if maybe I knew them.
你不認識 You don't.
暫且說他是個 Let's say he's a collector
四處發掘新人才的收藏家吧 always on the lookout for new talent.
你為亞當·嘉樂威工作 對嗎 I understand you work for Adam Galloway.

我全買了 I'd like to buy them all.
副總統親臨堪薩斯城 安德伍德將在烏麥克籌款會上發表演講
密蘇里州的"不輕信州"外號可不是白叫的 Missouri is the Show Me State for a reason.
我們正要向全國人民證明 And we need to show the rest of America
我們的領導層堅實可靠 that we can keep our leadership intact.
看見滿屋賓朋 It is a pleasure to look out
人人喜笑顏開 我很高興 and see a room full of smiling faces.
這場面在華盛頓特區可不是天天都能見到 That's not something you see every day in Washington, D.C.
你的編輯怎么說 What did your editors say?
五千字 5,000 words.
起碼應該翻倍啊 This should be twice that.
我能爭取到八千字 I can probably get them to eight,
那樣的話我還要采訪第一夫人 but I'm gonna need the first lady, too.
單獨采訪 Separate interviews.
那我和安德伍德先生商量一下 Let me talk to Mrs. Underwood.
為什么是你 How come you're coming to me
而不是康納來和我談這事 with this instead of Connor?
你別跟別人說 他辭職了 Between you and me, he's out.
跳槽去太空探索技術公司了 He got a job at SpaceX.
他自愿的還是被人逼走的 His choice or was he pushed out?
一般人不喜歡和我共事 馬特 People don't like working with me, Matt.
你大約是絕無僅有的一個 You may be the only one.
我也不喜歡和你打交道 I don't like you either.
但如果能采訪到第一夫人 我或許會喜歡你 I might if you give me the First Lady.
她們明天要跟三軍委員會面談 They'll both be speaking to armed services tomorrow.
還有梅根·漢納希 Along with Megan Hennessy.
她就是那個被將軍... She's the one the general--

樂意為《時代》效勞 伙計 Anything for the Times, man.
為《時代》效勞 是吧 Anything for the Times, huh?
卻把我們擋在捐助者會議大門外 Then we get shut out of donor meetings.
我說的是雜志 沒錯 The magazine. And yes.
雷蒙德·塔斯克 Raymond Tusk.
你老板去年十月和這人見過面 Your boss went to see him last October.
都記在國會的旅行報告里了 It's in his congressional travel report.
當時我還沒來工作 Before my time.
你說過他們倆從沒見過 You said they didn't communicate.
我的原話是"據我了解不認識" I said, "Not to my knowledge."
我們現在就在密蘇里 We're in Missouri.
他不是捐助者之一 He's not one of the donors.
我能引述你的話嗎 I can quote you on that?
別把我的名字拼錯了 If you spell my name right.
一般來講 我不引述北方作家的話 Now, normally, I don't quote Northern writers,
但有時候他們中也有人 but every now and then one of them says something
能說出挺有道理的話 that makes a lot of sense,
這位叫愛默生的老兄 你們沒準聽說過 and this Emerson fellow you probably heard of,
他曾經說 交友的唯一辦法 once wrote that the only way
就是自己夠朋友 to have a friend is to be one.
我想各位非常清楚 I think you all know
泰瑞對他的選區人民有多夠朋友 what kind of a friend Terry has been to this district.
所以今天 我驕傲地向各位介紹他 So I am proud to introduce him today
并稱他為我的朋友 and to call him my friend.
現在有請 Would you please welcome,
多數黨領袖 the majority leader,
泰瑞·烏麥克眾議員 Representative Terry Womack.
謝謝你 副總統先生 Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
都安排好了 We all set?
我告訴媒體 I told the press
你將和幾位捐助者私下會面 you were having some private meetings with contributors.
有人質疑嗎 Any protests?
沒有 除了艾拉·薩伊德 We're good except for Ayala Sayyad.
謝謝 她怎么了 Thank you. What's going on?
可能是個盲點 Potential blind spot.
往車那邊走 邊走邊說 Tell me on the way to the car.
副總統先生 Mr. Vice President.
謝謝 Thank you.
不許亂叫 Calm down. Now.
歡迎 Welcome.
真是愉快的巧遇啊 雷蒙德 What a pleasant surprise, Raymond.
副總統先生 Mr. Vice President.
我以為今天要和你單獨見面呢 丹尼爾 I was expecting to see you privately today, Daniel.
事關重大 It's a serious matter.
所以我把"酋長"都請來了 I invite all the chiefs to the circle.
泳池不錯 Nice pool.
我沒在里面游過 I've never swum in it.
氯水弄得我眼睛疼 The chlorine hurts my eyes.
想游的話 歡迎試水 You're welcome to take a dip in it if you'd like.
下次吧 Another time.

我不會待很久 I won't be here long.
言歸正傳 尤干亞群體 So, the Ugaya band.
冰山一角 Tip of the iceberg.
他們不是正式的部落 They're not a real tribe.
他們就要成為正式的了 They're about to be.
不 他們是一群制造麻煩的家伙 No, they're a bunch of troublemakers
總是報太大希望 with too much hope on their hands.
等他們得到認證 Once they get recognized,
就能建立自己的賭場 they're gonna have their own casino.
最快也要兩年吧 In two years... at best?
趁著還有泳池好好享受吧 You better enjoy this pool while you can.
我覺得你的賭場 I don't think your casino
承受不住那么激烈的競爭 can stand that sort of competition.
你以為懷特豪爾一離開印第安人事務局 Who do you think Whitehall called
最先給誰打了電話 as soon as he left the BIA?
你承諾兩年后給他們賭場 You offer them a casino two years from now,
而我們能給他真正想要的 we offered what they really want.
回歸我的部落 Reenrollment in my tribe.
你的冰山一角正在融化 弗蘭克 A tip of your iceberg is melting, Frank.
而且你時間也不多了 And you do not have time on your side,
這樣如何 so how about this...?
你幫我和加勒特重歸于好 You help me repair my relationship with Garrett,
丹和我就讓資金 Dan and I here get the money
流向正確的方向 flowing back in the right direction.
這樣如何 How about this...?
我讓印第安人事務局調查你們兩個 I get the BIA to investigate both of you.
和馮的關系 洗錢 Connection to Feng, laundering--
你可以 但你不會 You could, but you won't.
你不敢 You don't dare.
我已經資助民主黨九年了 My money has been going to the Democrats for nine years.
你曾是他們的黨鞭 You were the whip for all of them.
你指戳我們 You implicate us,
自己也自身難保 you implicate yourself.
還會殃及領導層的每個人 And everyone in the leadership.
牛排來了 Here comes the steak.
你會喜歡這個的 弗蘭克 Now you are going to enjoy this, Frank.
給你 There you go.
謝謝 Thank you.
嘗嘗吧 弗蘭克 Now dig in, Frank.
別喂蒼蠅了 Before the flies get to it.
我不用了 謝謝 I'll pass, thanks.
你確定 Are you sure?
這可是醬燒松阪牛肉 This is soy-fed Matsusaka beef.
要知道 我的祖先會對這頭牛禱告 You know, my ancestors would've prayed to this heifer
祭奠它的靈魂 to honor her spirit.
但是兩百塊一磅 But at 200 bucks a pound,
我想 傳統還是滾邊吧 I figure... fuck tradition.
來吧 及時行樂 弗蘭克 Come on, live a little, Frank.
要叫副總統先生 Mr. Vice President.
不是我的副總統 Not my Vice President.
你現在是在自治區的領土上 You're on sovereign land.
狗可真好猜 不是嗎 Dogs are so predictable, aren't they?
替我安排與沃克會面 Set up a meeting with Walker.
如果可以就今晚 Tonight, if possible.
我六點能到 I should be back by six.
拉尼根沒讓步嗎 Lanagin didn't budge?
他讓尤干亞回歸了 He reenrolled the Ugaya.
得馬上把橋的事敲定 We have to get the bridge approved now.
我去聯系琳達 I'll call Linda.
繞開她 我不想讓她參與會面 Bypass her, I don't want her in the meeting.
這就去辦 I'm on it.
謝謝 Thanks.
密查姆 和飛機聯系 Meechum, get in touch with the plane
回程航班要做肋排 have them make ribs for the flight back.
好的 先生 Yes sir.
副總統先生 Mr. Vice President,
有空嗎 do you have a moment?
對不起 總統要見我 I'm sorry, the President asked to see me.
不 他沒有 No, he didn't,
是你要求會面 you requested the meeting
然后我取消了 and I took it off the schedule.
你干了什么 You did what?
去你辦公室聊 Let's go in your office.
你撒謊了 弗蘭克 You lied, Frank.
你說橋的事你不管了 You said you would let the bridge go
然后就背著我搗鬼 and then you went behind my back,
你這會兒就想這么做 just like you're trying to do now.
我不需要征求你的同意 I do not require your permission.
不 但你應該叫上我 No, but you should involve me.
總統和副總統之間 The President and the Vice President
有問題需要私下討論 have issues they must discuss privately.
你對我保密 When you are secretive,
我就做不好我的工作 it prevents me from being able to do my job.
你這樣把會面取消 And when you cancel meetings,
也讓我做不好我的工作 it prevents me from being able to do mine.
所以我才想聊聊 Which is why I wanted to talk,
這樣才能解決問題 so we can work things out.
-我不想浪費時間 -我們應該合作 - I will not waste my time - We should be working together.
膨脹你的自尊心 inflating your sense of self-importance!
你說什么 Excuse me?
你贏過多少次選舉 How many elections have you won?!
當過多少個國會委員會的主席 How many congressional committees have you chaired?!
如果不是我在競選時推薦了你 Would you even be working in the White House
你現在會在白宮工作嗎 if I hadn't recommended you during the campaign?
我不是一直在還你人情嗎 I returned that favor and then some.
看看你的辦公桌在哪 Look where your desk is now!
那我們就互不相欠了 And I'd say we're even.
你要還想讓我尊重你 And if you want to maintain my respect,
你的做法大錯特錯 you're going about it all wrong.
我是想跟你解決問題 I asked you in here to work out a situation--
你這是強行要求 You didn't ask, you demanded!
我不允許自己被排除在外 I will not be left out of the loop,
我是總統的幕僚長 I'm the president's chief of staff.
你就這么當幕僚長嗎 You call this being chief of staff?
篡改他的日程安排 Micromanaging his datebook?
不如說是高級排程員 I'd say that's more of a glorified scheduler.
要是沒有我盡職盡責 The White House would fall off its rails
白宮會無法正常運作 without me doing my job.
-你確定嗎 -我確定 - Are you certain about that? - Yes, I am.
我時刻為總統著想 I look out for the president 24/7.
我讓他知曉一切 I keep him informed.
幫他理清主次順序 I keep his priorities straight.
你當副總統前一切都好好的 弗蘭克 We did just fine before you became vice president, Frank.
好 我們現在就去總統辦公室 All right, let's go over to the Oval Office right now
讓總統做個選擇 and ask the president to choose:
是幕僚長還是副總統 his chief of staff or his vice president.
我知道他會選誰 I know what the answer would be.
你要一起去嗎 You wanna go?
我猜你也不敢 I didn't think so.
我明早要見到總統 Now I will see the president tomorrow morning,
不管有沒有安排 schedule or no.
請離開前請把燈關上 And please, turn out the lights before you leave.
我以為你回家了 I thought you went home.
還沒有 No, not yet.
你有空嗎 Um, do you have a moment?
有什么問題嗎 Is there something wrong?
我知道你在重新考慮建橋的事 我想 I know you are reconsidering the bridge project and I want-
我正在審查 I'm reviewing it.
我很快會決定的 I'll make my decision soon.
你已經做出決定了 先生 But you already made a decision, sir.
我擔心這事你是想多了 I'm concerned that you are overthinking this one.
-如果我們出爾反爾 -我沒說明白嗎 - If we backtrack... - Did I not make myself clear?
我只是想表達我的看法 先生 I'm just trying to offer my advice, sir.
我已經了解了 Which I've heard.
我也不用再聽第二遍了 And which I don't need to hear again
不過 謝謝 but... thank you.
我知道副總統昨天和你談過 I know the vice president spoke to you yesterday
平心而論 and in fairness...
你知道我重視你的想法 琳達 You know I value your input, linda,
我說我已經了解了 but when I say I've heard it,
我就是真的了解了 you need to know I mean that.
我明白 先生 Of course, sir.
還有別的事嗎 Is there anything else?
沒了 先生 No, sir.
-晚安 -晚安 - Good night. - Good night.
你讓我失望了 You disappointed me.
我說了我需要時間 I told you it would take time.
有線索嗎 Any leads?
我在查他當州參議員時的事 I've been going over his state senate days.
這沒法快 It's a slow process.
我得徹底排查 I have to be thorough.
那為什么我兩天找到的 So how is it that i've found more in two days
比你兩個月查到的還多 than you have in two months?
什么意思 What do you mean?
我還得替你完成差事 I've had to do your job for you.
你有發現嗎 You found something?
應該是我來問你這個問題 I'm the one who's supposed to ask that question.
你發現了什么 What'd you find?
我說不定能幫忙 Maybe I can help.
你在給弗蘭克干活兒嗎 Are you working for Frank?
是啊 我是他的媒體主管 Yeah, as his communications director.
我是問你在幫他收集情報嗎 No, are you working for him?
拜托 Come on.
你給的錢比他能給的要多得多 He couldn't pay me a fraction of what you're offering.
別騙我了 Don't lie to me.
要是你對我的能力沒信心了 Look, if you've lost confidence in my ability--
別他媽再唬我了 Stop fucking around.
你的選擇是錯的 賽斯 You made the wrong choice, Seth.
我不覺得 I don't think so.
你什么也不是 You're nothing.
就是只寄生蟲 You're a parasite.
你一樣 丹頓 So are you Danton.
只不過更人模狗樣一點 Just in a nicer suit.
你知道可能是什么嗎 Do you know what it might be?
注意打聽 Well, keep your ear to the ground.
是賽斯 That was Seth.
他覺得雷米可能拿住了我們的把柄 He thinks Remy may have something on us.
是什么 What?
他不知道 He doesn't know.
-你覺得可不可能是... -不 - Do you think it could be-- - No.
就算有 也肯定是無關痛癢的小事 If it's anything I'm sure it's innocuous.
我們撐得住 Nothing we can't weather.
但我猜 他們是在虛張聲勢 But my bet is they're bluffing.
只不過想嚇唬我們 Just to make us paranoid.
但他是個危險的人 不是嗎 我是說雷蒙德 But he's a dangerous man, isn't he? Raymond?
我們也可以很危險 We can be dangerous too.
如果情勢需要 When we need to be.
*主啊 情不自禁* *Lord, I just can't*
*偶爾灑淚* *keep from crying sometimes.*
*主啊 情不自禁* *Lord, I just can't*
*偶爾灑淚* *keep from crying sometimes.*
*世界充滿哀傷* *When the world's filled with sorrow*
*而我飽含熱淚* *and my eyes are filled with tears.*
*主啊 情不自禁* *Lord, I just can't*
*偶爾灑淚* *keep from crying sometimes.*
別停 Don't stop.
我曾經當過應召女郎 I used to be a call girl.
我要逃離那種生活 I had to get away from it.
所以才來這里 And that's why I came here.
關于我 你還有很多不知道 There's a lot of stuff you don't know about me.
如果你不想說 就什么都不用說 You don't have to say anything you don't want to.
你在公交車上拍我肩膀的時候 When you tapped on my shoulder on the bus,
有一種感覺... there was something...
你的眼睛 Your eyes.
-這么說真是太蠢了 -不 - That sounds really, really dumb. - No.
我也不知道怎么說 Um, I don't know.
我就是想把一切都告訴你 I felt like I wanted to tell you everything.
覺得我能信任你 Like, that I could trust you,
-盡管與你素昧平生 -你可以信任我的 - even though I didn't know you. - You can.
我從沒信任過任何人 I never trusted anyone.
你愛過別人嗎 Have you ever loved anyone?
沒有 No.
我對這個世界沒什么期望 I've never expected much from the world.
總覺得它很丑惡 It's ugly.
不是個公平的地方 It's not a fair place.
我對我現在擁有的很知足 I'm happy to have what I have.
我很高興我擁有現在 I'm glad I have this.
我都想清楚了 I've thought it all out.
有一種方式 And there's a way to do it
沒有曝光的風險 so we don't risk any exposure.
非要現在聊嗎 Do we have to talk about this now?
我累了 I'm beat.
我的腦袋一團漿糊 My brain is f...
對 現在聊 Yes, we do.
因為這是我們的婚姻 Because it's our marriage.
如果想要捱過接下來兩年 If we're going to survive the next two years...
或六年 or six.
就得做點什么 We need to do something.
我們應該互相支持 We should be each others' support system.
而不是互相施壓 Not cause each other stress.
白宮的基礎不是磚瓦 The foundation of this White House is not brick and mortar.
而是我們啊 加勒特 It's us, Garrett.
這對我很重要 This is important to me.
我希望你也能重視 And I want it to be important to you.
我得相信不管你在想什么辦法 I have to trust that whatever you're managing,
不管你對我隱瞞了多少 to whatever extent you choose not to inform me,
既不會讓我有危險 that I'm neither at risk,
也不會讓我被動地縱容明顯的違法行為 nor passively condoning something blatantly illegal.
所有風險都是我一人承擔 Any risk solely falls on me,
你不知情 也不能被指責縱容 and you can't be accused of condoning what you're not aware of.
不知情也一樣糟糕 Being not aware is just as egregious.
在這件事上不是 Not in this case.
我正在想辦法避開麻煩 I'm steering the ship away from the rocks,
而不是迎頭撞上 not toward them.
那我就給外資投資管理委員會打電話了 Then I'll call the committee for foreign investments.
你的選擇很明智 先生 You're making the right decision, sir.
我還有個艱難的決定要做 I have another difficult decision to make.
琳達提交了她的辭職信 Linda submitted her resignation.
我很生她的氣 I was furious with her.
這招讓我很被動 That was a very manipulative move.
我能猜到她為什么這么做 I can speculate as to why she made it.
她的不滿有道理嗎 Are her complaints valid?
我對這個問題的看法很主觀 I have a very biased view on that subject.
我已經聽過她的想法了 Well, I've heard hers.
說說你的吧 Give me yours.
琳達和我時不時會有爭執 Linda and I don't always agree.
但她對您忠心耿耿 But she's been very loyal to you,
是一名非常得力的幕僚長 and a more than competent Chief of Staff.
你覺得我該挽留她嗎 So you think I should keep her?
我覺得她有時會管太寬嗎 Do I think she oversteps sometimes?
沒錯 Yes.
她錯以為自己的意見和我的一樣重要嗎 Does she wrongly equate her advice with mine?
常有的事 Often.
但是 我想到問題不在于琳達 But... the question that occurs to me is not about Linda.
就算你回絕了她的辭呈 Let's say you refuse her resignation,
消息很有可能傳出去 if this gets out, and it could,
這樣所有為你的工作的人 不是都會覺得 won't you be sending a signal to anybody who works for you that...
他們可以跟你談判 ...you can be leveraged.
她已經遞了辭呈 She offered her resignation.
即便留下來心也不在這兒了 She's already gone even if she stays.
梅根 他們準備好了 Megan. They're ready.
我不知道 我手一直在抖 I don't know, my hands are shaking.
你沒問題的 梅根 You can do this, Megan.
我也會在場 I'll be there.
我有時會恐慌發作 I get panic attacks sometimes.
-你怕待會兒會發作嗎 -對 - You're afraid you'll get one? - Yeah.
好吧 那我們再多等幾分鐘吧 OK, why don't we ask for a couple more minutes,
-不成問題 -不是時間的問題 - that's not a problem. - It's not about that,
恐慌說來就來 they just come.
我無法控制 I can't control them.
我不想做了 I don't want to do this.
梅根 屋里面有很多 OK, Megan, there's some of the most senior congressmen
資深國會議員 and women in the room,
還有媒體 他們專程為你而來 and the press, they've shown up just to hear from you.
我知道 I know.
好 我不想給你施壓 OK, I don't want to pressure you,
但是我們為了這個策劃了很久 but a lot of planning has gone into this.
請別逼我做這個 Please don't make me do this.
我們不想逼你做什么 We're not making you do anything.
那我可以回家嗎 Then can I just go back home?
-回芝加哥 -聽著 你緊張 - Back to Chicago? - Listen, you have nerves,
這可以理解 that's understandable.
我他媽不想做了 好嗎 I don't wanna fucking do it, OK?
我理解你 沒關系 I understand, it's OK.
但你要是現在退縮 梅根 But if you back out now, Megan...
這根本不是為我 對吧 This isn't about me at all, is it?
對我們會很不好 有損我們的形象 ...this is not good for us. It hurts us,
讓人覺得我們很松散 it makes us look unorganized.
這他媽是你亮相的機會 This is about your fucking moment to shine.
你根本不在乎我怎么樣 You don't fucking care if do...
我在乎 真心在乎 I do care. I do care.
這是為了我 也是為了你 It is about me and about you!
不管是為什么 And for whatever reason,
我們都說出了我們的經歷 we both decided to share what happened to us.
人們在乎 人們愿意傾聽 And it mattered and people listened
所以我們進去善始善終吧 so let's go in and finish what we started.
我做不到 我不合適 I can't, I'm not the right person.
來吧 梅根 Come on, Megan.
你知道我昨晚做了什么嗎 You know what I did last night?
我在酒吧里找了個男的 I picked up some guy at a bar.
我完全不認識他 A total stranger.
我讓他在酒店里瘋狂地干我 I let him fuck my brains out at the hotel.
前天晚上也是如此 Night before, same thing.
我停不下來 I can't stop.
只有這樣我他媽才能... It's my only way to fucking...
老天 真討厭這樣 Jesus, I fucking hate this
我的手一抖我就... when my hands shake like this and I...
沒事的 It's OK.
我不是你想要的代言人 I'm not who you want to be your poster girl.
你不想的話就算了 You don't have to be.
不想就算了吧 You don't have to be.
很抱歉我讓你失望了 I'm sorry I'm letting you down.
沒事的 你沒讓我失望 It's OK, you're not letting me down.
沒事了 沒事的 It's OK. It's OK.

公事才有界限 Work related.
我不是去度假 I don't take vacation.

總統一個小時前同意了我的辭呈 The president accepted my resignation an hour ago.
我知道 Yes, I know.
我差點說我改變心意了 I almost told him that I changed my mind,
但我意識到沒有挽回余地了 but I realized it wouldn't make any difference.
不管怎樣 For whatever it's worth,
我提到了你的忠誠 I did bring up your loyalty
以及你出色的工作 and how good you are at your job.
雖然他并不需要我的提醒 Not that he needed me to remind him.
你舉薦了我 我會一直心懷感激 And I will always be grateful you recommended me.
這段路很精彩 It has been quite a ride.
雖然比我想的短了一點 Shorter than I would've hoped,
但還有大好前途等著我呢 but I have a long career ahead.
當然了 No doubt.
我想告訴你 And just so you know,
我不想造成任何輿論風波 I don't plan on making any fuss in the press.
如果有人問 我一定都是溢美之辭 You'll hear nothing but my praises if I'm asked.
我有樣東西要給你 I have something for you.
幾星期前 A few weeks ago,
總統跟我說起在你家的那頓晚飯 the president told me about a dinner he had at your house.
他不停地說你的內戰模型 He went on and on about your Civil War models.

這是史密森尼的主管給我的 This was given to me by the director of the Smithsonian.
位于美國華盛頓的一系列博物館和研究機構的集合組織
是第一枚授予美籍西班牙人的榮譽勛章 It's the first Medal of Honor awarded to a Hispanic-American.
是授予約瑟夫·德·卡斯特羅下士的 Corporal Joseph De Castro.
他為聯邦作戰 He fought for the Union.
琳達 我不知道該說什么好 Linda, I don't know what to say.
很顯然總統把你當朋友看 It's clear the president sees you as a friend.
但沒把我當過朋友 I've never been that to him.
但是他的工作超過友誼 But his job is bigger than friendship.
比我們倆都要重要 It's bigger than you and me.
我希望你能好好輔佐他 I just hope you'll look out for him
彌補我的遺憾 the way I've tried to do.
我會的 I will.
我也會好好珍惜這枚勛章 And I'll treasure this.

床單下的安德伍德夫人 和攝影家亞當·嘉樂威的私情
■
琳達所擔任的白宮幕僚長是美國聯邦政府內一個非常重要的職務 在白宮內可謂"一人之下 萬人之上" 不僅直接對總統負責 管理白宮內其他所有雇員 擔任著"大內總管"的角色 同時也是總統應對危機 制定政策時最依賴的顧問和心腹 奧巴馬上任五年 白宮內迎來過五位幕僚長 首任幕僚長伊曼紐是奧巴馬在芝加哥的老鄉 曾在克林頓政府任職 據說美劇《白宮風云》中喬什·萊曼的角色就是以伊曼紐為原型 他也是奧巴馬白宮迄今為止最有影響力的一名幕僚長 正是在他的努力推動下 奧巴馬才得以在入主白宮后不久就通過了全民醫保法案 伊曼紐擔任幕僚長兩年后"告老還鄉" 回芝加哥擔任市長 此后幾名幕僚長都沒有太大的影響力
■
2013年敘利亞危機期間 美國政府一度打算用武力打擊阿薩德政府 但是奧巴馬對是否動武一直猶豫不決 一天晚餐后 他同現任幕僚長麥當諾在白宮草坪散步45分鐘 散步結束 奧巴馬連夜召開會議 決定放棄直接武裝打擊的策略 轉而尋求國會授權 武力干預敘利亞的決定最終被擱置
■
美國土著印第安人占美國總人口的1.2% 他們對其所居住的保留地享有一定程度的自主權 1976年美國最高法院裁定地方政府無權干涉印第安人對保留地的開發使用 隨后大量賭場開始在印第安保留地出現 雖然美國各州政府一度試圖對賭場進行限制 但是1988年美國國會通過的《印第安賭博管理法案》 正式承認了印第安人在保留地上開設賭場的權利 由于法案規定只有傳統的印第安部落才有資格進行賭場運營 所以1988年之后 出現了大量要求印第安人事務局進行認證的部落 目前美國有326個印第安保留地 約500多個被認證的部落 其中240個部落經營著460間賭場 每年賭場收入高達270億美元
■
雖然開設賭場為印第安部落帶來巨額收益 但是目前美國印第安人的整體經濟狀況仍然很差 印第安家庭年平均收入約為3萬8千美元 遠遠低于美國整體平均收入(5萬1千美元)
