[Gaad] Previously on The Americans...
[Elizabeth] When we got here, I was 22 years old,
living in a strange house, in a strange country, with a strange man.
It never really happened for us.
But I feel like it's happening now.
You're violating a shitload of Soviet laws,
and you're looking at 10 years in a Siberian labor camp.
You're gonna have to start working for me.
[speaking Russian]
- How did you get him to talk? - Sucked his cock, like you told me to.
I never said that. I never said that. Nina, Jesus--
Mr. Martin from the DOJ is on the line for you.
Big day at FBI Counterintelligence.
They were in the secure vault all day.
- Did you get a look inside this time? - They won't let me in there.
As soon as we got those encryption codes from you, the FBI changed them.
- Immediately? - Within the day.
Right when they were leaving for the meet. Like they knew.
You understand what that means?
Somebody's talking.
We have a mole.
- [announcer] Leonard winds up to pitch. - How does this happen?
It's one of the things that happens when people are involved.
They're sure it's someone in the Rezidentura?
- It couldn't be a leak in Moscow? - She seemed to know.
- [Paige] Mom, you ready? - I'll be right there.
I assume the FBI are running the moles, so I need to press Martha hard.
- Henry's waiting in the car. Can we go? - Yes.
[fanfare plays on radio]
I just got out of an important meeting.
[Martha] Really? What about?
I... [sighs] can't really say.
Top secret?
Actually, I can't say because I didn't hear a word that was said.
Why is that?
I was thinking about you, to tell the truth.
Oh?
Look, even if we can't have anything more than a professional relationship,
I would still like to see you sometime socially.
I would like that.
I could be at your apartment in 20 minutes if you want a cup of coffee or something.
I would like that, but I have to work.
[laughs]
- It's Sunday. - It's my new boss.
He's showing how important he is by wrecking my filing system...
and my weekend.
You could be a half hour late.
I'll put a pot on.
See you soon.
Great.
[gasps, grunting]
Come on! Get in there!
[muffled screaming]
[tires squeal]
[breathing heavily]
What-- What am I doing here?
Who are you?
- [lighter clicks] - Who are you?
What do you want?
You, Mr. Jennings.
We want you.
- My name's not Jennings. - Philip Jennings, 39.
Wife, Elizabeth. Children, Paige and Henry.
Runs Dupont Circle Travel. Seems to be out late at night quite a bit.
Lives across the street from an FBI agent.
Also, the details of his life before 1963 seem to be a bit...
hazy.
We know who you are and what you are, Mr. Jennings.
You commie prick.
[inhales deeply]
[in Russian] Do you have to go?
[chuckles]
You're my medicine, Ninotchka.
Good for a worn heart.
You've been under a lot of pressure.
Yes, it's a dark time.
The Rezidentura has been penetrated.
Are you sure?
When I was made Rezident, in America --
- - I knew I was up to the challenge.
Now... now this.
Vasili. It's not your fault.
Everything that happens is my fault, Ninotchka.
Because it's all my responsibility.
[chuckles]
That's the job.
But everything will be fine, my beautiful girl.
We will find this traitor...
...and put a bullet in his head.
It's only a matter of time.
[horn honks]
[knocks]
- You wanted to see me, sir? - I wanted your take on something.
Sorry to call you in on a Sunday.
That's okay. I was headed into town anyway.
[chuckles]
All those years undercover, I had you pegged for a better liar than that.
How did you keep those white supremacists from making you?
I didn't work for them, sir. Entirely different dynamic.
Take a look at this. Tell me what you think.
What have we got? [sighs]
Adam Dorwin.
Single gunshot wound. Nothing stolen.
No criminal history.
He was shot two miles from where we were surveilling the Rezident.
Looks like right around the same time.
Should I get my Carnac the Magnificent turban,
or are you gonna tell me the rest?
The government has a secret defense program. Something about missiles.
I don't have more detail than that.
But Dorwin was project manager for a company called Viseotech.
And they were working on the missile technology?
About a month ago, some blueprints disappeared.
That's all they told me.
Top-secret blueprints, Defense Department very unhappy.
A Viseotech employee just happens to get shot
at the exact same time that we're tracking the KGB Rezident.
That's a hell of a coincidence.
[chuckles]
My mother always said coincidence was God's way of winking at you.
That doesn't exactly feel like a friendly wink, does it?
[groans]
[footsteps]
[floorboard creaks]
[door creaking]
[floorboard creaks]
[both grunting]
- [clattering] - [glass breaks]
[grunting continues]
[woman] Let's put these bags in the trunk.
[sighs]
What time was Mom supposed to get here?
About an hour ago.
Do you have any change?
- For what? - To call home, doofus.
Yeah, but you owe me.
[sighs]
[coin drops]
[phone ringing]
[birds chirping]
[phones ringing]
[sighs]
- Come on. - Where are we going?
Do you want to get home or not?
[Henry] Slow down. Mom's not going to see us from here.
Mom's not here.
We're not supposed to hitch, Paige.
We're not supposed to be left at the mall.
[scoffs] Are you scared?
No. This is stupid. We should just go back and wait.
- You can wait. I'm going home. - [sighs]
[footsteps]
[engine idling]
[Stan] Hey.
I'm done. You have to exfiltrate me. The Rezidentura is on a hunt for a mole.
I've been of help to you. I have fulfilled my obligation. It's your turn now.
You're gonna have your chance. I promise.
You don't understand. I have to leave now.
You need to stay calm.
Calm?
They're going to put a bullet in my head!
I will not let that happen.
You know what they do to people suspected of treason?
They put them on a plane to Russia, no discussion, no questions.
They get them a trial and a lawyer, and they find them guilty.
And I am guilty.
You have to get me out now.
You have to trust me, Nina, okay?
Trust me.
[Philip grunting]
[grunting]
I want a list of every KGB agent you know of.
The ones you're running. Other Directorate S illegals.
[breathing heavily]
Too much to ask?
Then why don't we start with all dead drop sites.
KGB communication protocols.
We both know where this is gonna go, Mr. Jennings.
It's up to you how long we do this.
There'll be no spy trades under this president.
[breathes heavily] I'm not a spy.
[thuds]
[click]
- Big day at FBI Counterintelligence? - [Martha] Yes, it was.
Obviously we know most of it, but I just wanna hear the details from you,
because a crisis can provide an opportunity to uncover the leaks
that we have been looking for in your office, so just tell me what you saw.
[Martha] Well, I know that a man was kidnapped.
[click]
Lots of passports.
Multiple identities.
There's been some interesting debate about your children.
They were born here, so technically they're American citizens.
Can that be revoked?
Can they be sent back to Russia?
But they don't speak Russian, do they?
[taps passport]
Maybe they become wards of the United States government.
[breathing heavily] Go to hell.
- Bring her in. Let's go. - [door opens]
[man] Let's go.
Hey, where you headed?
Falls Church Commons.
Hop in.
Listen, I don't have a lot of time, folks. I gotta be to work in less than an hour.
It's not that far. We'll just walk. Thanks anyway.
I mean, it's ten miles. It's right on my way, but, okay, sure.
Wait! Hey, wait!
- [tires screech] - It's ten miles.
- Sorry. My brother's a little... - Not a problem.
Thanks.
Get in.
- I'm Nick. - Paige. Thanks for stopping.
We were stranded at the mall.
Y'all hitchhike before?
Yeah, sure.
- [chuckles] How old are you? - Thirteen.
Hey, chief.
That's Henry. Sorry he's so rude.
It's chill.
- [grunting] - [lock clicks]
[breathing heavily]
It turns out our dead guy had access. SCI clearance.
And he was familiar with the genesis of the technology.
You think he was leaking information to the Russians?
Like I said, I believe in God but not coincidence.
- Did we take him out? - Not as far as I know.
My CIA sources say he wasn't even on their radar till his body turned up.
What did your friend say about him?
My friend has a big problem.
Rezidentura knows there's a leak.
These are dangerous operations.
You know those Africans the Criminal Investigation guys busted
with the diamonds in their asses?
Oh.
I almost felt sorry for the CID guys on that one.
I'd like to request some of the jewels.
I don't think your wife's gonna appreciate it if she finds out where they came from.
- [chuckles] - [elevator bell dings]
- [radio playing] - So, chief, you play any sports?
I played football in high school. Free safety. Loved to hit.
Free safeties are usually the hardest hitter on D.
- Henry. - That's okay.
Little man doesn't want to talk, he doesn't have to.
Cool with you guys if I make a quick stop?
I thought you had somewhere to be.
[laughs] Little man can talk.
Bread?
For the ducks.
I always feed them on my way to work.
- [water bubbling] - [gasps]
- [gasping] - And?
[coughs, gasping]
Get up.
[grunting] Come on.
We have to get home kind of soon.
It'll only take a minute.
You don't want the ducks to starve, do you?
[bottles clinking]
Come on, chief. I'll introduce you to Donald.
[ducks quacking]
Look at this.
[sniffs]
[sighs, sniffs]
[bottle opens]
Try it.
It's Dutch.
[groans]
You don't like it?
No, it's good.
[chuckles]
Make some new friends, chief.
You know... [chuckles]
you're definitely gonna be a knockout in a couple years.
I'm not hitting on you or anything, but you can expect to break some hearts.
Thanks.
You guys know how dangerous it is to hitchhike?
I mean, you're lucky you ran into me, not some lunatic.
[bird chirping]
Um, you know, I-I think we can walk the rest of the way.
- Right, Henry? - Yeah.
Thanks for taking us this far. Come on.
[bag thuds]
Hey!
Somebody paid for that beer. Me.
Not a lot of ducks, huh, chief?
Must be a duck holiday. [sighs]
See, the thing is...
I've done a lot of stupid stuff in my life. [chuckles]
Things someone should've talked me out of before I messed up.
Grab me another beer, will you, chief?
[sniffs]
See, that's the thing.
We all need someone to keep us on the straight and narrow.
Someone who will call us on our shit,
who ain't afraid to put the fear of God in us.
You believe in God, chief?
- Yeah. - Good.
Because a society is lost if people lose faith.
I mean, seriously.
Without a higher power, we're no better than wild dogs.
- [shouts] - [grunts]
- Run! Paige, run! - [groans]
[groans]
- [film projector whirring] - [instrumental music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[sighs]
This is a camera.
I need you to photograph documents at the Rezidentura.
Doesn't matter which ones, as long as they're highly classified.
You said I could trust you.
You said you have it figured out, that you have a plan.
- This is the plan. - It's suicide. If somebody catches me...
Listen to me, Nina.
I've been where you are.
I've lived it.
I know what it is to feel fear in every fiber of your being
and not be able to show it.
I've been there.
And I can get you out.
But you have to stay with me.
Okay?
What if I'm caught?
You won't be.
You can do this, Nina.
We can do this.
Even if I could take the pictures...
there's no way I can sneak them out.
The security is very tight.
You won't have to.
[Elizabeth groans]
[grunts]
There are no happy endings here.
You can help her, you know. Talk now.
Save her a lot of pain.
[sighs] Up to you.
What do you think you're gonna get from us?
[exhales]
Why don't you tell me?
Fine. I will tell you.
Nothing.
You get nothing from us.
She's trained for this. So am I.
We'll die before we'll talk.
And we know how to do that.
- [Elizabeth groans] - [Claudia] That's enough.
I'm sorry.
We had to know if you were the mole, if we could trust you.
Untie him.
If you could trust us?
[Claudia] Yes.
Very few of us knew about the FBI's encryption codes.
You were the first two.
And within a day, the FBI knew.
What were we supposed to think?
We should be the last people you suspect.
This wasn't done lightly.
You understand what's at stake.
If there was the slightest possibility that you were betraying us,
that would be a blow we would be unable to sustain.
We had to know.
Did you have permission for this?
Did Zhukov approve this?
This decision was made far above Zhukov's head.
- [grunts] - [groans]
- [Elizabeth shrieking] - [water splashing]
[shrieking continues]
[Philip] That's enough.
- That's enough! - [gasps]
I'm gonna kill you, you stupid bitch!
[grunting]
Tell whoever approved this that your face is a present from me to them.
Show them your face! Show it to them!
Where's my car?
[shouting] Where's my car?
[Elizabeth breathing heavily]
Sit down.
Go.
[Claudia groans]
[panting, groans]
[breathing heavily]
[panting] Okay.
[sighs]
Grannie knew everything we knew about those encryption keys.
What were they gonna do, string her up too?
I was this close to killing her. Are you okay?
- Yeah. You? - Yeah.
How could they do that to us?
What did they do to you?
Psychological pressure. Pictures of the kids.
- They didn't question you? - No.
- They stopped? - Yeah.
You told them.
What? What are you talking about?
You told them I considered defecting. That's why this is happening.
I didn't.
What did you tell them?
Nothing.
You're lying. I can see it. What did you tell them?
Philip, we are supposed to tell them things.
That is part of this job. I--
If I said anything that made them think--
If I said anything that would--
It would've been so long ago.
What did you tell them?
I told them that you liked it here too much.
- Philip. Philip. - Don't touch me.
Don't act like I made something up. They asked me and I answered.
You loved it here. You started loving it more and more.
- Now look what finally happened! - I fit in!
I fit in like I'm supposed to.
And yes, I liked it. So what?
I was supposed to be able to trust you, and I did.
And I shouldn't have. I never should have.
That's not true.
[sighs]
[keys jingle]
You okay?
[sighs] What if he wasn't gonna do anything bad to us?
He was a creep, Henry.
What you did today took courage.
But I was scared.
I know.
[sighs]
What happened today has to be our secret, okay?
Okay.
[sighs]
What? What's wrong?
I had an accident.
[sighs] Okay. Come on. Let's go downstairs. I'll wash them for you.
Okay.
[typing]
[phone ringing]
[drawer closes]
[shutter clicks]
[murmuring in distance]
Nina?
[in Russian] Are you going to dinner?
You saw me eating at my desk ten minutes ago.
[chuckles]
Yes, that sandwich. Well, I haven't eaten.
You should eat.
Nina. Are you okay?
Yes, of course.
[phone ringing]
[exhales]
[buckle clicks]
[engine revving]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[chattering]
[sighs]
Thank you.
$3.49. There's a sale on the Earl Grey.
This is fine.
[sniffs] Now, that's good stuff. You wanna use the water before it boils.
I know how to brew tea. Thank you.
- [coins clink] - Oh.
- [sighs] - Sorry about that.
[sighs]
Enjoy.
[dialing]
[rings]
It's done.
[sighs]
[ringing]
[woman] Switchboard.
Yeah, route me through the phone booth on Pennsylvania and 11th.
[clears throat]
[phone rings]
Cultural desk. How may I help you?
Yes, could I speak to Vasili Nikolaevich?
One moment.
He's unavailable. May I take a message?
Yes, tell him there's a tea shop in Piccadilly Circus
that I know he'll enjoy when he's not under the gun.
May I tell him who's calling?
Tell him it's Theo.
Theo who?
He'll know.
[sighs] Guys?
- [rapid footsteps] - [Elizabeth sighs]
- Oh, my God. - What happened?
I was changing the station while driving, which is a stupid thing to do, and--
We hit some ice, and it's okay.
And we're okay, and everything's okay.
[sighs] Does it hurt?
A little, yes.
I'm so sorry I wasn't there to pick you guys up.
- It's okay. - How did you get home?
Shelly's mom drove us home.
Oh. Okay. Good.
Good.
Look, it has been a very, very long day,
so what do you say we all get ready for bed?
- [Henry] Okay. I'll beat you upstairs. - [Philip] No racing.
[zipper closes]
I'm gonna go and see Martha.
- I never made it there this morning. - Okay.
I wanna take her some jewelry, make up for missing the date.
Do you have anything?
[drawer opens]
[sighs]
[scoffs]
I'm sure she'll love it.
[zipper closes]
[dialing]
[phone rings]
Cultural desk. How may I help you?
Is Vasili there?
[grunting]
Not yet.
[Stan] Tell Vasili it's urgent.
Unless you tell me what this is about, I can't help.
- [handset slams] - [dial tone]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[sighing]
[grunts]
When the lady calls, I oblige.
That's what the lady counts on.
What happened?
Can I have one of those?
I thought you stopped.
Old habits are hard to break.
[sighs]
So, where do you want my eyes?
My children.
And Philip.
I'd rather keep them on you.
On me too, then.
What's going on, Elizabeth?
There's a mole.
I need to know if I'm being watched.
No one knows you exist.
Someone knows.
I'll be your eyes.
[siren wails in distance]
[in Russian] I heard you were in demand this evening.
It was odd.
I couldn't understand any of the messages.
That's odd...
And yet whoever called
asked for you by name.
So I was told.
A man named Theo.
He called from three different locations
in the span of a few hours.
I don't even know a Theo.
One of the calls was made from a phone booth
outside of FBI headquarters.
This... this must be some kind of provocation.
Of course, Vasili Nikolaevich.
But you understand in a time like this
nobody is above suspicion.
Not me...
Not even the Rezident.
We will have to do a light search.
You understand.
Naturally.
Arkady, I'd do no less in your position.
Grigory.
[door opens]
Please empty your pockets.
[keys jingle]
What's this?
Tea.
Is that really necessary?
I have no idea where this came from.
[murmuring]
Arkady, really, I must protest.
My record is spotless, I --
Vasili Nikolaevich, you'll be fine.
If all is well here.
Sir...
Diamonds for information.
I've been set up.
Remarkably well, wouldn't you say?
[rings]
[sighs]
Beeman.
[Gaad] It's Gaad. I just got word.
The Rezident jumped ship without giving any notice to the State Department.
You're sure it's him?
I'm staring at a photo of him getting on a plane as we speak.
He's on his way back to Russia right now.
Just him?
Just him.
[sighs] I appreciate the call.
I thought you might.
[handset settles in cradle]
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, everything's good.
[sighs]
Listen. [sighs]
I get that you can't tell me things, the secrets and stuff...
[sighs]
but there has to be something you can share from work.
I mean, I don't know,
your boss gets on your nerves...
or your partner thinks he's funny, and he's not funny.
I don't know. Something?
- You're right. - Anything? [chuckles]
I don't know.
You know, sometimes...
sometimes what I do gets scary.
Not for me. You don't have to worry about that anymore.
But I have to worry about people.
And today, it got pretty scary.
But it worked out.
[sighs] It was a tough day, but it was a good day.
That's good.
I'm glad.
Me too.
[sighs]
- A car accident? Oh, my God. - Yeah.
I jumped a light.
- I thought you stood me up. - [chuckles] Are you kidding me?
I think I was just excited to see you.
[groans]
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Did you see a doctor?
Yeah. Well, a paramedic. He said I was fine.
Clark...
I know that we're not supposed to,
but maybe they could assign someone different
from your office to work with me?
I can't. [sighs]
I just can't. And I'm sorry. But...
there is something I would like you to have
so you understand how I feel.
[sighs]
How did it go?
She got over it.
[sighs] Philip, what do you want from me?
It doesn't matter.
You already did it. There's no undoing it.
[grunts, sighs]
You're not the only one who got hurt today, okay?
I was ripped from my house, I was attacked by the people I believed in,
the people I trusted most my whole life.
Yeah, I think that says it all.
[sighs]
[door slams]
