The route to power is paved with hypocrisy and sacrifice.
This sentence is Frank's inner monologue after abandoning Linda, the president's chief of staff.
Linda was once Frank's most important eyeliner and assistant in the White House and in front of the president, and the two got along very well.
However, this time, Linda's opinion is inconsistent with her own, and frank's own life and death are at stake, and now Linda is dispensable to him. So Flake did not hesitate to push the former comrade-in-arms off the ship.
Fighting between brothers is not a bad thing.
All leaders want their men to be less united and want to play checks and balances.
You will be affected, that's his purpose.
Frank often went to Freddy's kebab shop for steak.
Tasker pulls out Freddy's criminal history in order to fight Frank.
Flake pretended to be angry and accused Tasker, and Kleick foolishly advised him not to be angry.
Fleck is simply the fighting fox among the old foxes.
He just had to pretend to be angry, otherwise everyone would think he was too cold-blooded, and indeed when he went to see Freddy in person, Freddy did not show the slightest gratitude. He knew Frank's purpose, he knew Frank was acting.
You don't have to pretend to be my friend.
Freddy is telling Frank about his past.
I have earned sixty thousand dollars a day in the past, I have mixed on the road, I have been in prison, and I have suffered hardships.
This means: I have seen every scene, I have felt the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and you don't have to pretend with me here.
I'm not your friend, you're just a customer of mine, that's all.
Do you think I'm a hypocrite? I don't deny it.
Frank knows what kind of person he is and never deceives himself, he knows what he is doing and what he does is only his means to an end.
He won't chase you because you've sinned against him, because he knows that one day he may work with you.
Unless you sin against him and want his life.
If you don't accept it, I'll ruin you.
