"the americans"...
Don't be scared, sweetheart.
Uhh! (moaning)
(grunting)
It's...Dangerous
what you and dad do?
Sometimes.
Henry's really close
to mr. Beeman,
And we have no idea what
he's saying to him about us.
You always say
we'll get through this,
But you never say how.
Philip: You wanna be matthew's
friend? Be matthew's friend,
But don't do anything
because of us.
Stan: I just saw burov.
He gave me enough pieces
to put something together.
Probably an agent in place
working on biological weapons.
Just got something new in
from fort detrick.
A modified strain
of the lassa virus --
Causes a hemorrhagic fever
that liquefies your organs.
Louisville field office found
a william crandall.
Foster medical, right?
Got him.
I know you've lost your sense
of why we do this,
But I promise you,
It matters.
You'll do this one last thing.

If we're in danger,
If things...Can happen,

I can teach you

Man: Delta 11, any further back,

Maybe we're just nervous.

He didn't go into the park?
You guys expecting him

Man:
Walking east on rochester.

I think he just broke off.
Let's grab him before

We're taking him.

Man: Hands up!
(man shouts indistinctly)
I suggest you don't move.
You might want to get me
to a hospital
With a biocontainment
treatment facility
As soon as possible.
Listen to him! Stay back!
Everybody stay back!
(helicopter blades whirring)
(man speaking indistinctly)
(helicopter blades
whirring in distance)
I'm up. (inhales deeply)
(switch clicks)
(sighs)
William didn't show.
Did you see
any surveillance?
Stan didn't come home
again tonight.
When's the alternate?
Tomorrow.
2:00.
I told paige a little bit
about smolensk.
Do you ever wonder
what it looks like now?
Back home?
It could be
totally different.
Probably not that much.
(man on radio

(door unlocks, creaks)
Semenov!
(man continues over radio)
(patriotic music playing

(monitor beeping)
(button clicks)
Mr. Crandall.
I'm agent beeman.
This is agent aderholt.
We're with the fbi.
(monitors continue beeping)
At a time like this,
We can all just be
human beings.
If there's anything we can do
to make you more comfortable...
Comfortable. (chuckles)
(weakly) there is nothing you
or a-anyone can do
To make me comfortable.
In a few days,
Everything that's inside me
that...
Matters...
Will have oozed out
through my orifices.
(labored breathing)
I'm a dead man.
It's a very unusual feeling.
Would you like a coke?
(scoffs)
(laughing)
(coughs)
Paige: Hi.
Hi, hon.
(keys clatter)
Alice had her baby.
Oh. Boy or girl?
Girl. Claire louise.
Oh.
Pastor tim left a message.
I haven't called back yet.
I didn't know what to say.
Well, I guess we should, um,
all go visit them.
All three of us?
Henry, too.
Is it too soon?
(sighs)
How soon until you wanted
visitors when you had me?
I didn't have
many friends, so...
(sighs)
Maybe I should go first
after church tomorrow
Just to say hi.
Yeah, call first.
Yeah.
And then we can all go see them
later when they're home.
That makes sense.
I have a gift you can take.
Good.
Where's dad? Working?
No, um, he's...At this --
It's sort of like a class.
He's at a class?
It's called est.
Uh, it's like
a seminar in...
...Thinking about yourself.
Remember, he went
with stan one time?
Right. Okay.
(sighs) did you eat?
No.
I'll make something.
Philip: (amplified voice)
travel agent is pretty much
The only job I've ever known.
Uh, it -- it suited me.
I-I like to travel,
see new places
And...Meet new people.
But, I mean, you choose a job
Before you really know
if you'll like it, right?
I mean, when you're young,
you don't...Know anything --
Who you are,
what you wanna do, be.
You pick something because
it fits what you like,
What -- what you need.
But life changes things,
you change, or -- or something.
And then one day you wake up,
And you don't want to go
into the office.
You don't wanna make
arrangements for people
You don't know
and don't give a shit about.
You...
You don't wanna do it.
You just don't.
Every morning, I wake up
with this sick feeling
In the pit of my stomach.
Okay.
So...Why don't you quit,
find a new job?
I can't.
Why not?
Because I have commitments.
I've made promises.
To who?
To...
People who trust me
and people I love.
And you don't wanna
let them down?
No.
But it's okay to let
yourself down?
Do you think your family would
no longer love you if you quit?
Do you think the world would
stop spinning?
'cause I got news for you.
You ain't that important.
It was
two different intercepts,
And he doesn't show up at
your meeting or your alternate.
I've called him three times.
They've got him.
The question now is william.
It's not like he was so happy
to do this in the first place.
No.
I'm not saying he walked it
over to them.
But now that they have him,
They probably have something
enticing to offer.
You spent more time with him
than I did.
I hadn't thought about him
like that.
I mean, he bitched and moaned
and was...An asshole.
I guess it's possible.
He's been here.
We better go.
(door creaks)
(buzzing)
(sighs and sniffles)
(door opens)
(door creaks)
Mischa.
(indistinct conversations)
(baby crying in distance)
(indistinct conversations)
(exhales deeply)
To what
do I owe this pleasure?
We recently arrested a man
named william crandall.
He was a scientist working
at a lab
Called foster medical research,
but in fact,
He was a member of directorate s
spying for your government,
Stealing secrets to be used
In your nation's
biological weapons program.
That's...Very surprising.
To my knowledge,
my country doesn't have
A biological weapons program.
In fact, it is my understanding,
according to the treaties,
Yours doesn't have one
either.
So it would be shocking
to discover
That you're working
on such a --
We only work on research
to create antidotes
And medicines for the weapons
we know you're making.
You should really make these
baseless accusations
To the ambassador.
I'm just cultural attaché,
as you know.
We know exactly who you are,
and we will be speaking
To the ambassador directly,
As well as to
the foreign minister in moscow.
President reagan expects
your country
To keep to the treaties
it signed.
And he will be bringing
this incident up
With andropov shortly.
You've gone too far.
Bugging
my predecessor's office,
Having one of your officers
marry his secretary,
Which is the lowest thing I have
seen in my entire life.
And now this -- you're being
expelled from the country.
You have no proof.
You killed frank gaad.
Agent wolfe --
I don't care.
I wanna see his face.
You've got 48 hours
to get out.
(monitor beeping steadily)
Aderholt:
Are you in pain?
The strain I gave myself
Gets to the hemorrhagic
fever stage pretty quickly.
Anyone you'd like us to contact,
mr. Crandall?
(breathing unevenly)
agent aderholt --
Stan: We have channels
we can use.
No doubt.
After so many years
in your country
As your unwelcomed guest,
there is no one.
Besides, anyone who needs
to know, knows.
They don't know if you've
told us anything.
No. They don't know that.
Did you like it --
what you did?
It was exciting at first.
(gasps) like all new things.
Auspicious beginnings
and all that.
I was committed to something.
(breathing unevenly)
And I was...Invisible.
To us?
(grunts)
T-to everyone. (chuckles)
(chuckles)
made me feel special,
Like I was the star
in my very own movie.
Then...Over time,
The thing that made it special,
made me special,
My secret power, as it were...
(breathing unevenly)
...Became a curse.
I was alone, isolated.
Lonely. Very lonely.
I'd reach out to people.
(breathing unevenly)
Not friends, exactly.
Maybe acquaintances,
more like.
But there was always...
A distance.
A...A barrier.
The absence of closeness
makes you...
...Dry inside.
But still committed.
It was the only thing
I had left.
(monitors continue beeping)
Anything new?
No.
But the longer
they have william in custody,
The greater the risk
to you.
It's been a hard year.
Yeah.
The problems pile up.
It's hard to know
when it's too late.
If william
talks to the fbi,
Risks on top of risks,
When do we stop?
I think you two and your
children should return home.
What?
Philip, your heart hasn't been
in this for a long time.
Elizabeth, you've been doing
this for almost 20 years.
The job wasn't
meant to be forever.
So what, the centre wants us
to pack our bags and come home?
You've had
a good, long tour.
The centre would welcome you
with honors
The moment you tell them
you're ready.
But with william under arrest,
you're in immediate danger.
I know.
I know you've always been
in danger,
But that can dull
the senses.
I think it's time.
I want you to go home
and get your kids.
And get yourselves
to a safe house.
But, of course,
it's your decision.
(leonard cohen's "who by fire"
playing)
(claire coos)
Leonard cohen:
¶ who by fire ¶
Hi, claire.
¶ who by water ¶
Hey, baby girl.
¶ who in the sunshine ¶
¶ who in the nighttime ¶
wanna hold her?
¶ who by high ordeal ¶
okay, claire, meet paige.
(claire babbles)
¶ who by common trial ¶
Here you go.
¶ who in your merry-merry
month of may ¶
¶ who by very slow decay ¶
¶ and who ¶
¶ who shall I say ¶

(car doors close)

Hi. I'm paige.
¶ who by avalanche ¶
¶ who by powder ¶
¶ who for his greed ¶
¶ who for his hunger ¶

¶ and who by brave assent ¶
¶ who by accident ¶
¶ who in solitude ¶
¶ who in this mirror ¶
¶ who by his lady's command ¶
¶ who by his own hand ¶
¶ who in mortal chains ¶
¶ who by common trial ¶

(exhales and sighs)
(door opens and closes)
(monitors beeping)
(labored breathing)
(gurgling)
(coughing)
(labored breathing)
(breathing heavily)
(switch clicks)
William?
(breathing heavily)
They...
They want...
Always wanted more.
More information.
More samples.
They wanted me married.
I tried.
We were fighting.
I was...
I wish...
I could've been with her
For all these years.
Like them.
Couple kids.
American dream.
Never suspect them.
She's...
Pretty.
He's lucky.
(whirring)
When we had the interception,
we really dug a grave
for ourselves.
And it's like the old saying --
if you make the bed hard,
You gotta lay in it.
(door opens)
Hey.
Hey, mom, dad.
Thanks for watching
the super bowl with me.
I-I'm sorry. We -- we got
caught up with work.
What -- what happened?
We lost by a lot.
It sucked.
Man: ...Pins the redskins back
at their own 12-yard line
with only...
I'll be down
in a few minutes, okay?
Raiders defensive coach
charlie...
Man: This particular play, uh,
joe washington swings out.
He gets grabbed a little bit
by lyle.
I tried to get it
over lyle's head,
And I never saw
the linebacker coming in.
(crunching)
I anticipated them being
in a zone- --
A zone defense.
As it turns out...
You're not that into sports,
are you?
(mouth full)
when I was little, I was. Um...
(clears throat)
My dad and I played
a lot of football.
But now, uh...
What?
Yeah, I don't know.
Just the whole thing
with my dad.
What?
He cheated on my mom.
Did you know that?
I heard 'em
talking about it.
You know what's gross?
My friend at school was like,
"what? I would never cheat
on your mom."
(sighs)
people are stupid.
Yeah.
(sighs)
But...In a way it's...Good,
right?
Seeing them as people.
I guess.
But they're still my parents.
No, I-I know. Believe me.
(exhales deeply)
Sometimes don't you
just wish
You could go back to being
a little kid again?
I don't know.
(man speaking indistinctly
over tv)
I used to think my dad was
having an affair at work.
Really?
Yeah. He was working late
a lot,
And it happened to my friend
With her dad
and his secretary.
I asked my mom about it.
Really?
Yeah.
What'd she say?
She said no.
She trusted him.
But I don't know
how you know.
Like what we were saying --
They're just people,
and people...
Shit happens, you know?
(man continues indistinctly
over tv)
...Sacking him six times
and forced three turnovers.
The cornerbacks
for the raiders,
Lester hayes and mike haynes,
Frustrated the redskins
wide receivers all game long
With their physical
bump and run coverage.
Man: I guess a lot of people
is gonna think like that,
But if you can really view
the film, you know,
Any football expert,
you would see that, you know,
I was open the entire game.
(sighs)
(bed creaks)
(sighs)
You wanna pack?
Get the hell out of here?
Maybe.
I don't know.
You trying to picture
them there?
(whispers) yeah.
(car door opens and closes
in distance)
Stan's home.
Hasn't been watching
the super bowl.
Work must be busy.
At least he doesn't have
five fbi cars behind him.
So that's a good thing.
Yeah.
You should go get paige.
(whispers) yeah.
¶¶
Hi.
Hey, hey.
(whispers) shh.
(lowered voice)
so I just got home.
Matthew and paige --
I don't think they were
just watching football.
(whispers) what?
I don't know. It was --
it was all like...
You know. (clears throat)
oh...
When I came in.
Right.
Father of the bride,
you're paying.
You can use my backyard
if you want to.
Yeah, good.
(whispers) all right, come on.
Man on tv: ...Came into
this game expecting to win...
Hey.
Hi, dad.
Hey, mr. Jennings.
See you got all
your super bowl snacks there.
How was the game?
Heard we lost.
Uh, yeah, it was
a total blowout.
Oh...
Okay, let's go, sweetie.
What?
It's getting late.
(tv continues indistinctly)
Bye.
See ya.
Bye, mr. Beeman.
Bye, paige.
Hey, uh, racquetball Tuesday?
You bet.
Stan: Okay.
(door opens)
¶¶
I don't want you
to see him.
That's ridiculous.
Don't do this, paige.
Dad.
You have no idea.
No idea.
¶¶
"the americans"...
Don't be scared, sweetheart.
Uhh! (moaning)
(grunting)
It's...Dangerous
what you and dad do?
Sometimes.
Henry's really close
to mr. Beeman,
And we have no idea what
he's saying to him about us.
You always say
we'll get through this,
But you never say how.
Philip: You wanna be matthew's
friend? Be matthew's friend,
But don't do anything
because of us.
Stan: I just saw burov.
He gave me enough pieces
to put something together.
Probably an agent in place
working on biological weapons.
Just got something new in
from fort detrick.
A modified strain
of the lassa virus --
Causes a hemorrhagic fever
that liquefies your organs.
Louisville field office found

Got him.
I know you've lost your sense

You don't wanna make
arrangements for people
You don't know
and don't give a shit about.
You...
You don't wanna do it.
You just don't.
Every morning, I wake up
with this sick feeling
In the pit of my stomach.
Okay.
So...Why don't you quit,
find a new job?
I can't.
Why not?
Because I have commitments.
I've made promises.
To who?
To...
People who trust me
and people I love.
And you don't wanna
let them down?
No.
But it's okay to let
yourself down?
Do you think your family would
no longer love you if you quit?
Do you think the world would
stop spinning?
'cause I got news for you.

(sighs and sniffles)
(door opens)
(door creaks)
Mischa.
(indistinct conversations)
(baby crying in distance)
(indistinct conversations)
(exhales deeply)
To what
do I owe this pleasure?
We recently arrested a man
named william crandall.
He was a scientist working
at a lab
Called foster medical research,
but in fact,
He was a member of directorate s
spying for your government,
Stealing secrets to be used
In your nation's
biological weapons program.
That's...Very surprising.
To my knowledge,
my country doesn't have
A biological weapons program.
In fact, it is my understanding,
according to the treaties,
Yours doesn't have one
either.
So it would be shocking
to discover
That you're working
on such a --
We only work on research
to create antidotes
And medicines for the weapons
we know you're making.
You should really make these
baseless accusations
To the ambassador.
I'm just cultural attaché,
as you know.
We know exactly who you are,
and we will be speaking
To the ambassador directly,
As well as to
the foreign minister in moscow.
President reagan expects
your country
To keep to the treaties
it signed.
And he will be bringing
this incident up
With andropov shortly.
You've gone too far.
Bugging
my predecessor's office,
Having one of your officers
marry his secretary,
Which is the lowest thing I have
seen in my entire life.
And now this -- you're being
expelled from the country.
You have no proof.
You killed frank gaad.
Agent wolfe --
I don't care.
I wanna see his face.
You've got 48 hours
to get out.
(monitor beeping steadily)
Aderholt:
Are you in pain?
The strain I gave myself
Gets to the hemorrhagic
fever stage pretty quickly.
Anyone you'd like us to contact,
mr. Crandall?
(breathing unevenly)
agent aderholt --
Stan: We have channels
we can use.
No doubt.
After so many years
in your country
As your unwelcomed guest,
there is no one.
Besides, anyone who needs
to know, knows.
They don't know if you've
told us anything.
No. They don't know that.
Did you like it --
what you did?
It was exciting at first.
(gasps) like all new things.
Auspicious beginnings
and all that.
I was committed to something.
(breathing unevenly)
And I was...Invisible.
To us?
(grunts)
T-to everyone. (chuckles)
(chuckles)
made me feel special,
Like I was the star
in my very own movie.
Then...Over time,
The thing that made it special,
made me special,
My secret power, as it were...
(breathing unevenly)
...Became a curse.
I was alone, isolated.
Lonely. Very lonely.
I'd reach out to people.
(breathing unevenly)
Not friends, exactly.
Maybe acquaintances,
more like.
But there was always...
A distance.
A...A barrier.
The absence of closeness
makes you...
...Dry inside.
But still committed.
It was the only thing
I had left.
(monitors continue beeping)
Anything new?
No.
But the longer
they have william in custody,
The greater the risk
to you.
It's been a hard year.
Yeah.
The problems pile up.
It's hard to know
when it's too late.
If william
talks to the fbi,
Risks on top of risks,
When do we stop?
I think you two and your
children should return home.
What?
Philip, your heart hasn't been
in this for a long time.
Elizabeth, you've been doing
this for almost 20 years.
The job wasn't
meant to be forever.
So what, the centre wants us
to pack our bags and come home?
You've had
a good, long tour.
The centre would welcome you
with honors
The moment you tell them
you're ready.
But with william under arrest,
you're in immediate danger.
I know.
I know you've always been
in danger,
But that can dull
the senses.
I think it's time.
I want you to go home
and get your kids.
And get yourselves
to a safe house.
But, of course,
it's your decision.

Leonard cohen:

Hey, baby girl.

(exhales and sighs)
(door opens and closes)
(monitors beeping)
(labored breathing)
(gurgling)
(coughing)
(labored breathing)
(breathing heavily)
(switch clicks)
William?
(breathing heavily)
They...
They want...
Always wanted more.
More information.
More samples.
They wanted me married.
I tried.
We were fighting.
I was...
I wish...
I could've been with her
For all these years.
Like them.
Couple kids.
American dream.
Never suspect them.
She's...
Pretty.
He's lucky.
(whirring)
When we had the interception,
we really dug a grave
for ourselves.
And it's like the old saying --
if you make the bed hard,
You gotta lay in it.
(door opens)
Hey.
Hey, mom, dad.
Thanks for watching
the super bowl with me.
I-I'm sorry. We -- we got
caught up with work.
What -- what happened?
We lost by a lot.
It sucked.
Man: ...Pins the redskins back
at their own 12-yard line
with only...
I'll be down
in a few minutes, okay?
Raiders defensive coach
charlie...
Man: This particular play, uh,
joe washington swings out.
He gets grabbed a little bit
by lyle.
I tried to get it
over lyle's head,
And I never saw
the linebacker coming in.
(crunching)
I anticipated them being
in a zone- --
A zone defense.
As it turns out...
You're not that into sports,
are you?
(mouth full)
when I was little, I was. Um...
(clears throat)
My dad and I played
a lot of football.
But now, uh...
What?
Yeah, I don't know.
Just the whole thing
with my dad.
What?
He cheated on my mom.
Did you know that?
I heard 'em
talking about it.
You know what's gross?
My friend at school was like,
"what? I would never cheat
on your mom."
(sighs)
people are stupid.
Yeah.
(sighs)
But...In a way it's...Good,
right?
Seeing them as people.
I guess.
But they're still my parents.
No, I-I know. Believe me.
(exhales deeply)
Sometimes don't you
just wish
You could go back to being
a little kid again?
I don't know.
(man speaking indistinctly
over tv)
I used to think my dad was
having an affair at work.
Really?
Yeah. He was working late
a lot,
And it happened to my friend
With her dad
and his secretary.
I asked my mom about it.
Really?
Yeah.
What'd she say?
She said no.
She trusted him.
But I don't know
how you know.
Like what we were saying --
They're just people,
and people...
Shit happens, you know?
(man continues indistinctly
over tv)
...Sacking him six times
and forced three turnovers.
The cornerbacks
for the raiders,
Lester hayes and mike haynes,
Frustrated the redskins
wide receivers all game long
With their physical
bump and run coverage.
Man: I guess a lot of people
is gonna think like that,
But if you can really view
the film, you know,
Any football expert,
you would see that, you know,
I was open the entire game.
(sighs)
(bed creaks)
(sighs)
You wanna pack?
Get the hell out of here?
Maybe.
I don't know.
You trying to picture
them there?
(whispers) yeah.
(car door opens and closes
in distance)
Stan's home.
Hasn't been watching
the super bowl.
Work must be busy.
At least he doesn't have
five fbi cars behind him.
So that's a good thing.
Yeah.
You should go get paige.
(whispers) yeah.
¶¶
Hi.
Hey, hey.
(whispers) shh.
(lowered voice)
so I just got home.
Matthew and paige --
I don't think they were
just watching football.
(whispers) what?
I don't know. It was --
it was all like...
You know. (clears throat)
oh...
When I came in.
Right.
Father of the bride,
you're paying.
You can use my backyard
if you want to.
Yeah, good.
(whispers) all right, come on.
Man on tv: ...Came into
this game expecting to win...
Hey.
Hi, dad.
Hey, mr. Jennings.
See you got all
your super bowl snacks there.
How was the game?
Heard we lost.
Uh, yeah, it was
a total blowout.
Oh...
Okay, let's go, sweetie.
What?
It's getting late.
(tv continues indistinctly)
Bye.
See ya.
Bye, mr. Beeman.
Bye, paige.
Hey, uh, racquetball Tuesday?
You bet.
Stan: Okay.
(door opens)
¶¶
I don't want you
to see him.
That's ridiculous.
Don't do this, paige.
Dad.
You have no idea.
No idea.
