Tom Hammerschmidt
- Francis Underwood: Do you trust your instincts, Tom?
- Tom Hammerschmidt: I always have.
- Francis Underwood: Then look me in the eye. I've told you the truth. What you said is it on the record now? Do you believe me?
- Tom Hammerschmidt: Not for a second.
- Tom Hammerschmidt: He was right about your soul. What's in your bones. That you're ruthless. You're corrupt. You destroy whatever's in your path.
- Francis Underwood: Hmm. Name me a president you wouldn't describe in exactly the same way. We're all ruthless. We all destroy. But corruption? That's a matter of perspective.
- Tom Hammerschmidt: No. It's a matter of law.
- Francis Underwood: So what is the story? That I'm some sort of psychopath? That I'm a killer?
- Tom Hammerschmidt: Oh, I never believed you were a murderer, and I still don't. But it's becoming harder not to entertain the thought.
