- Though certainly a Moral Event Horizon moment as well, Francis Urquart gets one at the very end of House of Cards (UK) when the Intrepid Reporter he had previously seduced confronts him at the House of Parliament's rooftop gardens with evidence of the numerous illegal, successful, Batman Gambits that have allowed him to become Prime Minister... and his reaction is to go for Refuge in Audacity and chuck her off the building and claim she committed suicide. And it works. Seriously, everyone I've ever watched it with just drops their jaws at just how far this grandfatherly British Upper-Class Twit is willing to go, and how devious he is at getting there.
- A triumphant FU fires the King
. - When Makepeace argues against Urquhart's moves to make English the language of Europe, the PM tries to make him Minister of Education and an angry Makepeace resigns. It looks to be just another way FU gets ahead...until Makepeace calls a press conference to announce the resignation as his own idea and when pressed on whether Urquhart should step down, replies "You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment."Urquhart: (watching on television) You bastard.
