Frank Underwood and Zoe Barnes in “Unfinished Business”

[Zoe meets Frank hiding in front of construction chain link fence on subway platform of Cathedral Heights D.C. Metro station] Have you thought about what we discussed?

I think you're right. We should start with a clean slate.

What about our text messages? [she deletes it] And the contact? [she deletes it]

Are we good?

Yeah. We can put all this other nonsense behind us, and trust one another and continue to help one another?

I'd like that.

Consider the slate clean.

Answer me one thing. The passenger seat. You said Russo was trying to get out. But there was nothing...

I thought we just agreed.

I want to believe you, but I need details. More than what you're sharing.

What's your question?

The night Russo fell off the wagon, he was at a fundraiser. The McNeely Cancer Institute...

All in the police report.

Rachel Posner was at the hotel that night.

Who's that?

The call girl who was with Russo when he was arrested.

I didn't know her name.

She disappeared, Francis.

Don't act surprised. I showed the bellmen a photo. One of them remembers seeing her.

The girl is a prostitute. I'm sure she frequents many hotels.

But that hotel on that night?

Now, you sound like Ms. Skorsky talking.

I haven't discussed this with anyone. I wanted to ask you first.

I have no idea what happened that night except that Peter started drinking again. I don't know who was or wasn't there. I wish I was. Maybe I could have stopped him.

Do you know where Rachel is?

Listen to what I am saying.

I'm trying to protect us both. These are questions anyone could ask.

But no one is except you. I can't imagine what you're after.

I took a chance, showed up at your house and placed myself at your feet. Crossed ethical lines, professionally, physically, and I hold myself accountable for that. Those were my choices and I can live with them. I'd like to move forward, but I need to know exactly what I was a part of, that that I wasn't a part of someone's-

Finish your thought.

A part of someone's murder.

Jesus. [walks away and Zoe follows]

I wanna believe you, Francis.

[Frank lunges out suddenly, grabs Zoe, turns her around and pushes her in front of an oncoming train]
