House of cards – Season 1 Episode 1

1
00:00:16,200 –> 00:00:17,634
Hey, what are you doing?

2
00:00:21,880 –> 00:00:24,520
Jesus. Did you geta good look?

3
00:00:24,600 –> 00:00:26,671
Blue Toyota Camry, that’s all I saw.

4
00:00:26,760 –> 00:00:28,080
It’s the Wartons‘ dog.

5
00:00:28,200 –> 00:00:29,475
Oh, man.

6
00:00:29,560 –> 00:00:30,880
It’s not gonna make it.

7
00:00:30,960 –> 00:00:32,030
Go see if they’re home.

8
00:00:44,360 –> 00:00:45,714
It’s okay.

9
00:00:48,920 –> 00:00:51,151
There are two kinds of pain.

10
00:00:51,280 –> 00:00:53,272
The sort of pain that makes you strong

11
00:00:53,360 –> 00:00:57,240
or useless pain, the sort of pain that’s only suffering.

12
00:00:58,680 –> 00:01:01,320
I have no patience for useless things.

13
00:01:03,240 –> 00:01:06,517
Moments like this require someone who will act.

14
00:01:06,600 –> 00:01:09,638
Who will do the unpleasant thing,

15
00:01:09,720 –> 00:01:11,473
the necessary thing.

16
00:01:16,560 –> 00:01:18,074
There.

17
00:01:18,160 –> 00:01:19,640
No more pain.

18
00:01:22,040 –> 00:01:24,600
It was a hit and run. I’m awfully sorry.

19
00:01:24,680 –> 00:01:26,911
He must’ve jumped over the fence again.
20
00:01:27,000 –> 00:01:30,198
Look, Steve is gonna file a report on the car.
He’ll put his people on it.
21
00:01:30,280 –> 00:01:32,158
We’ll track them down.
22
00:01:52,360 –> 00:01:53,714
Stunning.
23
00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:55,270
Shall we?
24
00:01:55,360 –> 00:01:57,317
Three, two, one.
25
00:01:57,400 –> 00:01:59,710
Happy New Year!
26
00:02:06,080 –> 00:02:07,070
Oh.
27
00:02:07,320 –> 00:02:08,674
President-elect Garrett Walker.
28
00:02:09,040 –> 00:02:10,269
Do I like him? No.
29
00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:12,471
Do I believe in him?
That’s beside the point.
30
00:02:12,560 –> 00:02:14,677
Any politician that gets 70 million votes
31
00:02:14,760 –> 00:02:16,717
has tapped into something larger than himself,
32
00:02:16,800 –> 00:02:19,110
larger than even me, as much as I hate to admit it.
33
00:02:19,240 –> 00:02:22,039
Look at that winning smile, those trusting eyes.
34
00:02:22,160 –> 00:02:24,880
I latched onto him early on and made myself vital.
35
00:02:24,960 –> 00:02:29,193
After 22 years in Congress, I can smell which way the wind is blowing.
36
00:02:30,040 –> 00:02:32,430
Jim Matthews, his Right Honorable Vice President.
37
00:02:32,520 –> 00:02:34,079
Former governor of Pennsylvania.
38
00:02:34,400 –> 00:02:37,598
He did his duty in delivering the Keystone State, bless his heart.
39
00:02:37,680 –> 00:02:39,672
Now they’re about to put him out to pasture.
40
00:02:39,760 –> 00:02:42,150
But he looks happy enough, doesn’t he?
41
00:02:42,240 –> 00:02:45,551
For some, it’s simply the size of the chair.
42
00:02:47,960 –> 00:02:51,590
Linda Vasquez, Walker’s chief of staff. I got her hired.
43
00:02:51,680 –> 00:02:55,390
She’s a woman, check.
And a Latina, check.
But more important than that,
44
00:02:55,760 –> 00:02:59,276
she’s as tough as a two-dollar steak.
Check, check, check.
45
00:02:59,360 –> 00:03:00,680
When it comes to the White House,
46
00:03:00,760 –> 00:03:02,717
you not only need the keys in your back-pocket,
47
00:03:02,800 –> 00:03:04,439
you need the gatekeeper.
48
00:03:04,520 –> 00:03:07,240
As for me, I’m just the lowly House Majority Whip.
49
00:03:07,320 –> 00:03:09,152
I keep things moving in a Congress
50
00:03:09,280 –> 00:03:11,112
choked by pettiness and lassitude.
51
00:03:11,200 –> 00:03:14,557
My job is to clear the pipes and keep the sludge moving.
52
00:03:14,640 –> 00:03:16,279
But I won’t have to be a plumber much longer.
53
00:03:16,360 –> 00:03:19,353
I’ve done my time. I’ve backed the right man.
54
00:03:22,040 –> 00:03:23,520
Give and take.
55
00:03:23,640 –> 00:03:25,438
Welcome to Washington.
