Ep 5. Chapter 44

Frank and Claire continue to play a dangerous game of politics in Chapter 44, the fifth episode of House of Cards Season 4.

As the Underwood presidency faces increasing opposition, Frank turns to his former rival, Republican presidential candidate Will Conway, for help in passing his controversial America Works bill. But Frank's tactics to gain Conway's support prove to be more manipulative than ever before, as he uses the tragic death of a soldier to his advantage.

Meanwhile, Claire faces her own challenges as she attempts to secure funding for her Clean Water Initiative. Her negotiations with a Russian billionaire prove to be more complex than expected, putting her in a precarious position.

As tensions rise both at home and abroad, the Underwoods must navigate a web of deceit and power plays in order to maintain their hold on the presidency. But as they each pursue their own agendas, it becomes clear that their marriage may not be able to withstand the pressures of the political world.

With stunning performances from Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, Chapter 44 is a gripping addition to the already intense fourth season of House of Cards.
