of the office on which I'm about to enter...

- So help me God. - ...so help me God.

[Frank] Let's start this new chapter with a clean slate.

I know you'll do whatever you think is best.

We think Congressional Leadership took part.

[Doug] The Vice President just assumed office.

I can't have this conspiracy stuff going mainstream.

The connections are troubling, especially Underwood.

- So this goes all the way to the White House? - It might.

[Frank] I need you to delete all of our phone history.

You want me to just walk away, act as if I don't know anything?

Tusk is in town. He's meeting with the President in 49 minutes.

[Frank] He's convincing the President to change his mind.

You would be making a disastrous mistake.

[Walker] I feel like I'm losing control of my own goddamn administration.

- [Frank] I want him obliterated. - More than that.

- Agent Green, FBI. - You cannot run away from this!

He's got power, he's got a lot to lose and he is winning.

[Zoe] I need to know that I wasn't a part of someone's...

- Finish your thought. - A part of someone's murder.

[Frank] I won't submit myself

to this sort of exposure again.

Hello?

[Claire] Am I really the sort of enemy you wanna make?

[Zoe] Can you blame me if I find it difficult to trust you right now?

You are out of line, Frank.

[Frank] There is but one rule: hunt or be hunted.

Welcome back.
