Pan Am (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Genuine Article - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Previously onPan Am...

Why don't you come in
out of the fog, Captain?

Do we have
enough room here?Yes, of course.

It's the Vice President.

DEAN: I don't plan
on telling him.

Want to go for a ride?

I think I've already
been taken for one.

There'll be a man
on your next flight,
Niko Lonza.

We'll need fingerprints.

After you. Pardon me?

We'd all like to know
what you're weighing
in at these days.



Miss Ryan and I can
continue our conversation

with her supervisor
upon her return.

You keep this up,
you're not gonna be
around much longer.

[JAZZ SONG PLAYING]

GINNY: So what do you say?

Am I Pan Am material?

[CHUCKLES] My shoes
and socks, too?

Remarkably comfortable,
I must say.

Well, I'll have
to buy you a pair.

Mmm. Men's socks...

The way to
a woman's heart.

Mmm.

Promise not to have
too much fun in Rio?

What am I gonna wear? [CHUCKLES]



What I did...
it was stupid,
Miss Havemeyer.

I apologize.

I was attempting
a little levity,
uh, stupidly.

And at my expense.

At the expense
of Pan American
World Airways.

How did I hurt Pan Am?

My ability
to effectively...

Never mind.
[CHUCKLES]

You're right.
I made a mistake.

I will never do it again.

As this is one
of several infractions,

your file will be sent
to the Base Manager.

Excuse me.
Are you firing me?

The matter is now
under review...

Please. I have worked
my entire life to be here.

And until an official
decision is made,

yes,
you are grounded.

But I have a flight
to Brazil in two hours.

We'll find a replacement.

Who can speak Portuguese?

KATE: Maggie.

KATE: Whoa, Maggie,
watch out. [GASPS] Oh.

Oh. Whoa. You almost
stepped in it.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
Nothing new.

MAN: Hey.
I tried you at home.

You were pulled
from the Rio flight.

No, not yet.
Mrs. Olcott said
that I could still...

Not you, Maggie.
Kate.

Me? Uh, why?

Headquarters can't find
your smallpox vaccination.

Uh, do you want
to see the scar?

They suspect
it's their mistake,

but they still
can't let you fly
until it's sorted out.

Could be a good thing.
Your landlord called. [SIGHS]

There's a busted pipe
in your building.

Uh, did he leave a name?

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]Richard something.

Mmm-hmm.

What's with
the photographer?

Lifemagazine.

They're doing
a follow-up piece
of their April profile.

"Day in the Life
of Pan Am Stewardesses."

Really? Our crew?

Uh, don't get
too excited.

He's specifically here
for Laura.

Sprung it on her
10 minutes ago.

Huh. The powers that be
are just full of surprises
this morning.

And I'm off to deal
with a plumber.

Mmm.Take care of my sister.

Oh, don't worry.
I won't leave her side.

[CLICK]

More ginger ale for you,
Mrs. Brous?

Yes, but this time
with a little bourbon.

Two fingers.

As soon as we're airborne.

[CLICKS]

Sorry.
A little Pan Am posterity.

[CHUCKLES]

Best opening line
I've had in months.

A book? But not just any book.

The Feminine Mystique.

You actually read
the whole thing?

Didn't skip to
the answer key
in the back?

Half a million copies sold,
and to whom?

Women,
and understanding women

is the best way
to get women.

[LAUGHS]
You understand women?

Oh, less than ever,
but at least now
it sounds like I do.

[CHUCKLES] Mink. 12:00.

You're flying
your paramour down to Rio?

[MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY
OVER RADIO]

[CLICKING]

Good morning.
Welcome aboard.

Why, thank you.

Hello, Miss Saddler.

Captain Lowrey,
you remembered me.

I'm flattered.

And I'm surprised
to see you flying
with us again so soon.

It seems I can't get enough
of your Pan Am service.

Well, we'll try not
to disappoint.

I'm counting on it.
Love the uniform.

Colette, I need you
to switch to Economy.

Laura's in First.
I'll cover both.

Covering both
or covering
the photographer?

[CHUCKLES] I'm in need
of a little public relations.

Is that what they call it
these days?

Management and I have
a small difference
of opinion.

Anything serious?

No, just my usual pickle.
[CHUCKLES]

Okay. [WHISPERS] Okay.

[BELL DINGS] MAN: Order up.

Oh.

Not again
with that book.

Takes me out
of this place.

So does that door.

Outside that door is
a crazy father

in a trailer
with two flat tires.

In here, at least
everyone's pretty,

all their clothes
are beautiful,

and none of the parties
serve beer.

Books make me sleepy.

[CHUCKLES]

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

How about some English?
I don't speak Portuguese.

This is America.

You bad waitress.
You pick up.

You mean boss.
You hold horses.

[COINS CLATTER]

[CLATTER]

Three cents? Three cents?
I live off my tips.

I grasp that.

Really?
You grasp that?

What was wrong
with my service?

The service
was adequate.

Then why didn't
you leave me
an adequate tip?

I didn't want
to encourage you.

[SIGHS]

I drove my first truck here
right after the war,

and, uh, Rose in there
served me coffee, black.

I was saving up to go
to school on my G.I. Bill,

but 14 years later,
I'm still driving a truck.

She's still pouring Joe.

[UPBEAT SONG PLAYING]

[TRUCK DOOR CLOSES] [ENGINE STARTS]

[HORN HONKING]

Wait!

Stop! Wait!
I'm coming with you.

Stop! I'm coming!

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

August in New York.

Even the flies
are sweating.

Smallpox? Really?

I could have just told them
your results were back,

set their inquiring
minds aquiver.

Why did you pull me
from my flight?

Why haven't I heard
from you?

I haven't had anything
since Monte Carlo.

Haven't you? Your friend
at the United Nations,
Niko Lonza?

I've seen him
a few times.

You said
he wasn't the target.

At the time he wasn't.

Lonza works at
the Yugoslavian Consulate.

Their president, Josip Tito,
has been playing us
off the soviets.

How does that involve
Nik... Mr. Lonza?

Your Niko's
leaving town this week,
diplomatic business.

We need the wheretos
and whatfors

and where he stands
politically.

We never talk politics.

Here's your chance.

[ENVELOPE CLATTERS]

An amusement park?

Go play some hooky
with your Communist friend.

[ENGINES ROARING] MAN OVER PA: The weather
in Rio de Janeiro

is a lovely 76 degrees.

It would be a nice break
from the New York humidity.

[CLICKS]

Again...
[SIGHS] Don't pose.

I don't know how not to.
Excuse me.

You looked totally natural
in that cover picture.

Because I didn't know
anyone was taking it.

Hard to surprise you here.
Where am I gonna stand?
[CHUCKLES]

They told me
this wouldn't happen,
if at all, until next month.

What can I say?

Your Pan Am Brass suddenly
wanted this in Rio.

If I may, Mr...

Graham will do.

Well, Graham,
if you want to see more

of the candid,
spontaneous side of
the Pan Am stewardess,

you really need
to see us
out of uniform.

Out of uniform?

Oh, don't get ideas.
[CHUCKLES]

I mean Rio.
I've made a list.

Shopping,
the beaches of Ipanema,

the botanical gardens,
a night of samba,
bossa nova.

Ambitious list.

[CHUCKLES] You should see
the one I sent Santa.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Look, Laura's
a little uncomfortable

with too much attention,
but she listens to me.

I can make this easier
for both of you,

if you could do a girl
a favor.

I've worked with
temperamental before.

[CHUCKLES] I meant me.

Laura was three weeks
out of training

when that cover
landed her a spot on
this brand-new clipper.

Maybe you could sprinkle
some of that fairy dust
my way

and help me get out
of a jam?

Hey, I'm just a guy
with a camera.

Who decides
where it's pointed.

[CHUCKLES]

Nice maneuver,

but you'll never give him
the slip at 30,000 feet.

I can't understand why
they couldn't pick

someone with
more experience.

Experience is overrated.

Maggie, I need your help
with a woman in 11C.

She wants something
but only speaks Portuguese.

Whenever I have to
do something
I really don't want to,

I pretend I'm playing a role,
like an actress in a movie.

Give him a little...

Betty Boop?

[CHUCKLES]
Brigitte Bardot?

Bardot's a blonde.

Not originally.Oh.

Hello, ladies.

I know that I shouldn't,
but I'm just going to
poke my head in.

Do you want me to
take anything in
to the pilots?

Uh, I...
I don't think so.

Roger that.

Should I have
stopped her?

She is
Mr. Henson's secretary

and Mr. Henson is
a Pan Am Vice President.

[WHISPERS] Oh.

If that woman is
Henson's secretary,

then I'm his dog walker.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

11C? Portuguese.

"Movie. Fred and Ginger."
15 letters.

Mmm. Easy.
Flying Down to Rio.

Is that whole puzzle
about Rio?

Okay, smarty-pants.

"'Hunchback' in Portuguese."
Nine letters.

Sanjeev covers
the hunchback stuff.

Corcovado.

[GASPS] Gold star,
Captain Lowrey.

Corco-what?

Corcovado,
that beautiful mountain

right in the middle
of the city.

The one with
the big Jesus?

I'm always afraid
we're gonna fly
right into him.

I think big Jesus
is where my boss wants

to take some
of the pictures.

That would be
Mr. Henson,
Vice President?

He's gonna be in Rio?

Oh, he's already there...
Preparing or something.

Lifemagazine
photo shoot with
one of the stewardesses.

And that's why
you're headed down.

Well, you know these VPs.
Can't blow their nose

without a gal and a steno pad
by their side, so here I am.

[CHUCKLES]
Yes, here you are.

Keeping that for yourself,
are you?

Maybe it's for
a special girl
back home.

You say that
because you know
how competitive I am.

[CHUCKLES]
It's for my niece Magda.

In Yugoslavia,
we don't have bears.

We have wolves.

You're going home?

Yeah, to Zagreb,
just for one week.

[SNIFFLES]
You will miss me?

Is that a command
or a question?

Both. [CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES] A fortune-teller.
Let's get our palms read.

[SIGHS] I don't need to come
all the way to America

to be swindled.
[CHUCKLES]

Well, that's too bad.

A Gypsy woman once told me
I'd fall in love

with a dark,
handsome stranger.

And instead you're
stuck with me.

See?
Anyone can read a palm.

[CHUCKLES]

[GASPS]

Bad news?

A secret.

Which one?

Any one you want
to tell me.

Here? You want to
hear a secret?
[CHUCKLES]

We could always leave it
to the Gypsy.

Here is a secret.

My mind is full of you.

I go to sleep this way.
I wake up this way.

You follow me like
a ghost...

[CHUCKLES]
Which is no good.

No good?

With a ghost,
I can't do this.

The bear is yours.
[CHUCKLES]

[ROARING]

You aren't following me,
are you? [CHUCKLES]

I was about to ask you
the same thing.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.

Allow me.

[KEY JANGLES]

You didn't, by any chance,
arrange this, did you?

Right next door. I'm good,
but I'm not that good.

I hope you and Henson
aren't the noisy type.

Or that foolish.

Well, you're certainly not
that forthcoming.

Nine hours ago, it's all
garters and socks.
[CHUCKLES]

There's no mention of Rio,
no mention of Henson.

And if I had?

Then I might have
discouraged you from
flying Pan Am today.

Well, then I guess I am
that good.

Monte Carlo was a lark.

It was wild,
and by some miracle,

we managed to swerve around
the accident in the road,

but Rio...
Rio is the accident
waiting to happen.

Let's keep it
in New York, Ginny.

We can read the road signs.
We can speak the language.

Hit with common sense,
the mighty warrior falls.

LAURA:
Kate specifically asked
for an alligator bag.

Oh. I think we got
enough shopping.

Now I'm wasting film.

I haven't even bought
anything yet.

What was wrong
with the clutch
with the big buckles?

Genuine alligator "style,"
if "style" means plastic.

Will Kate even know
the difference?

Meanwhile, somewhere people
are dancing the bossa nova.

I... I'm sorry.
You two go ahead.

Kate never asks me
for anything,

and I really want to
do this for her.

I thought we had a deal.

I'll get her back
on track.

Meet us
by that big red canoe
we saw in 15 minutes.

But not much longer.
Life is waiting.

[CHUCKLES]
Did we mention
we're stewardesses?

We can tell everybody
on the plane

how to find your shop
or tell them to stay away.

Pan Am? All day long.

So we'd like the real thing
but for the plastic prices.

Tudo bem. [CHUCKLES]

Stick with me, kid.
I know the lay
of the land.

Drop slips are red.
Red folder.

Add slips are blue.
Blue folder.

We usually hire a student
for this job,

but they can be
so unreliable.

What's this folder for?

That's a request
for transcripts.

That gets walked down
to Harvey in records.

Now he will probably
offer you

an official degree
for your phone number.

You'll want to avoid him.

And where is he exactly,
so I can avoid him?

Main administration
building.

[WHISPERS] Oh.

I need to drop a class.
Roxanne Gibson.

Oh, World Literature.
It's a shame.

Oh, I know. Professor Kolker
is supposed to be wonderful,

but it interferes
with my job.

You're a stewardess?

Yes. Pan Am.
Guess it's a giveaway.

Oh, it's more than that.
The way you carry yourself.

Pan Am training.
Confidence, leadership,
and diplomacy,

all done with style
and poise.

Poise.

Anyway, I work Friday flights
so I can fit in classes here,

but I have to
sacrifice World Lit.

Mmm. Red slip.

I'll take care of it.
[CHUCKLES]

Ahem.

Don't you have more
important things
you could be doing?

[CHUCKLES]

PROFESSOR KOLKER:
Welcome to
World Literature.

As I call your name,
respond not with "here,"

but with the title
of the one book that
you would request

if you were shipwrecked
on a desert island.

From that,
I will extrapolate
and perhaps judge you.

Barnsdale.

A Farewell to Arms.

Cheer up, Barnsdale.

[STUDENTS CHUCKLE]

Lareau.

Tropic of Cancer.

Well-played, Lareau.
You're on a desert island,
after all.

Gibson.

Roxanne Gibson.

The Great Gatsby.

Torn between the lunk
who opens your coconuts

and the man
you left behind?

Oh, I'm not Daisy, sir.
I'm Gatsby.

Ah. In love with
what she can't have.

You do realize you
end up shot to death
in your own pool?

Not before I throw
some truly fabulous parties
at my tree house, sir.

[STUDENTS CHUCKLE]

"Damn the torpedoes."
I like that.

I can't believe
the texture.

You know genuine
when you feel it.

Come on. This way. And this?

I never thought
I could afford
to replace Ted's.

How can that man
make a profit selling
a Rolex so cheaply?

I'd say he got
the "fell off a truck"
discount

and passed it on to us.

Hurry up.
Graham's waiting.

You mean
they're damaged?

You didn't notice
that nothing in that stall
was in its original box?

Wait. They're stolen?

I bought a stolen watch?

You want me to
give a stolen bag
to my sister?

It's not like
we stole them.Maggie.

Well,
if we hadn't bought them,
someone else would have.

[SIREN WAILS]

MAGGIE:
Don't look guilty.

Uh, so I...
I figured, uh,

right out of the gate
at the airport, go for it.

She worked for, um,
Aerolinhas...

Brasileiras
or something.

Isn't that
a cargo carrier?

[CHUCKLES]
That was my opening line.

[CHUCKLES] Oh, yeah.
"Ola, senhorita.

"I would like to show you
my very heavy cargo."

These Brazilian women,
they don't understand me.

It's pitiful.
It's pitiful.

GINNY: Captain Lowrey.

HENSON:
You're right, Ginny.

It is the good Captain
and his merry crew.

[CLEARS THROAT]
Miss Saddler.
Mr. Henson.

Good evening.

Mr. Henson,
good to see you, sir.

Good to see you, too,
Vanderwill.

Vanderway. Or Ted.
Whichever.

We thought
you all might like to
join us for dinner.

If you haven't eaten.
We're all here, right?

Well, I... I'm afraid
you're going to
have to make do

with the good Captain
and Miss Valois.

I have, uh... An assignation?

[CHUCKLES] You know
these Brazilian girls.

[CHUCKLES] One strike left
with the bases loaded.

Well, swing away,
by all means, Vanderwick.

[SIGHS]

[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]

Yeah.

This is swell.
Shall we?

[WHISPERING] What if
they cut off our hands?

[LOWERED VOICE]
We're in Rio,
not Saudi Arabia,

and we didn't steal
anything.

Tell them that.
Tell them anything.

You haven't said a word
in our defense.

That's because there's
nothing to defend.

They don't know
our purchases
fell off a truck.

Then why are we here?

[SIGHS]
For whatever reason
they come up with.

Loitering, probably.

Loitering?
We were shopping.

We need to
call Pan Am.

Pan Am?

Yes. Yes. Pan Am.
Hotel Intercontinental.

Maggie, he obviously wants
to clear things up.

He obviously
wants a bribe.
Look, this happens.

They pull two girls
into the big, scary jail

in the hopes of
getting a payoff.

Well, it worked.
I'm scared,
so let's pay them off.

We don't have
enough on us,

and everybody we know
is out for the evening,

so if we just keep
our mouths shut,

they'll let us go,
okay?

I am supposed to
meet the photographer
and Mr. Henson

first thing
in the morning.

Go over there right now,
find out how much they want,

and then tell them
we need to make

a long-distance call
to New York.

Kate can wire the money.

I can't do that. We...

Maggie, I don't want
to spend the night in...

I mean, I actually
can't do that.

I don't speak Portuguese.

But... But that's
one of your languages.

I've heard you
speak it. A few words.

I can tell Officer Roberto
what a bad waitress he is,
if you think that'll help.

You're a fake.

It was the best
of semesters.

It was the worst
of semesters.

Yes, these grades
are final.

No, you may not
question them,
nor may you grovel.

No hysterics.
[CHUCKLES]

How about
dignified weeping?

Jane Austen
would not approve.

But Jane Austen didn't
have to pull

three all-nighters
before finals.

I doubt Miss Austen
would blanch

at a little
academic critique.

Why then, I wonder,
did she write
under a pseudonym?

Who in this class
would understand
her motives

better than you,
Roxanne?

[DOOR CLOSES]

You would have
gotten an A
on the exam.

In fact, you did well
the whole term,

or rather... [LATCH CLICKS]

Somebody did well.

It's my work.

And you are whom?
Roxanne? Susan?
Marjorie?

Did you really think
you could keep this up,

sitting in on classes,
masquerading as
other girls?

I was working
at the registrar's office.

People kept dropping
these wonderful classes.

All I did
was pick them up.

You're not even enrolled.

Do you have any idea
how much trouble you're in?

Gatsby, indeed.

You're smart.

You're a hard worker,
well-possessed.

Make someone see that.

GINNY: To Pan American
World Airways.

Mmm-hmm. [CLINKING]

Pan American.
[CHUCKLES] Pan American.

La meilleure
compagnie aerienne
de tous les temps.

Ooh. The best airline
that ever will be.

Mmm. I didn't know
you spoke French.

Oh, gosh, no.
What did I say?

Almost exactly
what I said.

Hmm.

But you notice
the difference, though?

No accent.

[CHUCKLES]

That's why you're
a Vice President.

[CHUCKLES]

And you, Captain,
are an excellent pilot,

and there is
nothing wrong
with that.

To...
To Air Force training.

Oh. [CHUCKLES] "Yes, sir!
No, sir! Right away, sir!"

All that authority crap.
I would have put a gun
in my mouth.

And yet
you are authority.

Everywhere
but in the cockpit.

[CHUCKLES] Ooh.
I think I've waited
almost too long.

I'm going to
the little girl's room.

I'll go with you.

First, where is
that waiter?

I'm going to get us
some more eau-de-vie.

That's French, right?

Oui.

Be right back. Yeah.

I don't know how
you handle the travel.

Oh, you seem to
travel quite a lot.

I don't know how the hell
I handle it.

[CHUCKLES] Well,
you know what they say.

[CLEARS THROAT]
Plenty of water.

No.

Plenty of Ginny.

Oh, don't play confused
on me now, Captain.

I think we both know
Ginny's not my secretary.

I don't...sir, w
hat...what two people
do on their own...

No, no, no.
Don't call me sir.
Call me Henson.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Ginny is
over-the-rainbow wacky.

And intoxicating.

[STUTTERING]
I wouldn't, uh...

[INHALES DEEPLY] She does
have a way about her.

Most men
wouldn't understand
why I... I love her,

but you, Captain,

I'm guessing you are
a man who does.

[SIGHS]

With this faith,
we will be able
to transform

the jangling discords
of our nation

into a beautiful symphony
of brotherhood.

With this faith,
we will be able
to work together,

to pray tog...

Excuse me.
We were watching that.

Brave man.

Reminds me
of my cousin.

Men like that
don't live too long
in my country.

It took a lot of years to
make that speech possible,
and even now...

Yeah, but still,
so many people
came to listen.

Here in...in America,
there is...there is hope.

You don't have hope
for Yugoslavia?

It... It is static.

And worse, I'm static.

I thought
Tito was making changes.

Oh, changes, yeah,
but, uh, for the better?

Where's the music?
We need some music.

[CHUCKLES]
You're choosing?

Oh, I'm paying.
You're choosing.

Something new,
for a new day.

Okay. "Roy Orbison.
The Beach Boys.
The Chiffons."

Chime in.
You see anything you like?

"Walk Like a Man?"

Oh, yeah.
Frankie Valli &
The Four Seasons.

Any good? [CHUCKLES]
It's really good.

Okay,
before I invest my nickel,
you tell me how it goes.

[CHUCKLES]
I am not singing.

Pay your money
and take your chances.

Should I take you home?

[CHUCKLES]

It seems like something's
bothering you.

The people in
that square...

[SIGHS]
They face great risk
for what is right.

They walk like men.

Niko, in my experience,
you know,

life changes
every minute.

If there's something
you want to do,

it's never too late.

Dean.

[CHUCKLES]
Dean, it's me.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Dean, I'm so sorry.
It was such a stupid idea.

[SIGHS] Dean.

[SIGHS]
This isn't necessary.

Necessary? You mean like
how fluency in Portuguese

is necessary
for stewardesses
who claim to speak it?

You know,
food must taste great
from a silver spoon...

Necessary,
so you can, say,

serve drinks,
offer directions,

or, I don't know,
talk your way

out of a police precinct
in Rio de Janeiro?

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

[ENUNCIATES PORTUGUESE WORD]

[REPEATS WORD]

[WHISPERS] Thank you.

[CONTINUES IN NORMAL VOICE]

TED: Where's your
photographer now?

Ted. [TED LAUGHING]

Oh, I'm just dying
to know

how you ladies pulled
this one off.

Ah. There we go.

I never thought I'd be able
to afford to replace yours.

Oh, you didn't have
to do that.

You were so sweet to...

Okay, okay.
Can you just
get us out of here?

Just be grateful
I happened to
be striking out

at the hotel bar
when these gentlemen
called up

asking to speak
to the Pan Am boss.

Suficiente?

[PANTING]

[BOTH SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Excuse me. Pan Am?
There you are.

I'm Maggie Ryan.

I'm sorry, Miss Ryan.

The interviews
were from 3:00 to 6:00.

Oh, please! I... I came
all the way from Tacoma.

I'm afraid
we've found our girls.

Well, I would have
made it on time

if it weren't
for the accident.

A logging truck,
the bindings came loose,

and timber was
raining from the sky,

and I had to stay
until the ambulances came.

You would be surprised
how few people know how

to staunch
the flow of blood.

Well,
that's very impressive.

But as I'm sure
you're aware,

the Pan Am stewardess is,
above all things...

Cultured.

I've had my heart
broken twice, Mr...

Claymore.

Once by a boy named Chip

and once by a man named
F. Scott Fitzgerald.

And I wasn't even
an English major.

World History,
that's my passion.

My transcript,
hot off the presses

of the Berkeley
Registrar's Office.

I saw to it myself.

Well, you've got gumption,
Miss Ryan.

And poise,
Mr. Claymore...

That Pan Am poise.

I did a stint modeling
the latest fashions
from Paris.

But the thing that irks me
about modeling...

What really riles me...

That it's all
about the body

and nothing at all
to do with the brain.

I think women should
be acknowledged
for their brain.

I... I see you took
some Spanish. Hmm.

Unfortunately,
we have a surplus
of Spanish speakers.

[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

Catalan? Portuguese.

You're fluent?

Here's the thing.

I've been training
my whole life
for this job.

I know both elbow grease
and elocution.

But I think
the most important thing
for a Pan Am stewardess

is that she be
good company
for the journey

and a fast friend.

[SPEAKING CROATIAN]

[RECEIVER SLAMS]

I'm sorry for that.

No, I hate to see you
this upset.

My cousin has been put
on a show trial.

You know what that is?

It's a favorite practice
of Tito's regime.

The defendant has
little-to-no opportunity
to justify himself.

My cousin, he was forced
to sign a statement
under duress.

He was tortured?

He'll be found guilty.

I must go to Belgrade
and do what I can.

But what about Zagreb
and your family?

It'll have to wait.

Niko, are you in danger?

Tito has put
an entire nation
in danger.

Chief Architect
of the Second Yugoslavia,

and yet his dreams
are not for his people.

I must go and try
to help my cousin.

This might be the last time
I'll ever see him again.

Niko...

My mind is full
of you, too.

Maggie,
those cops were lucky
there wasn't a fork around.

Don't start in
on me, okay?

I know.
You warned me before,
and I didn't listen.

Whoa.
That was me saying hi.

You girls did your time,
paid your debt to society.

Tell that
to the Base Manager.

I thought we kept him
out of this.

Not the one in Rio,
Ted. [SIGHS]

You mean New York?
You mean that
Base Manager?

Ted...

I disagree with your politics,
your attitude toward women,

and, well...
You as a person
in general, but...

You show up.
You come through,

and not everyone
does that, so...

Thank you.

Maggie, what is going on?

Maggie?

Are you sure
you don't need
a few more plane photos?

I have plenty.

I didn't mean
to abandon you
at the beach, honest.

Well, even Coco Chanel
only stood me up
for three hours.

You shot Coco Chanel?

Almost. She, uh, ran off
with an alligator bag.

I don't suppose
I could make it up to you.

I could make you a list.

I'll get you a pen.

Oh.Sorry.

Mr. Henson,
can I offer you anything?

No, thank you.
I'm fine.

Then maybe
you can help me
with something.

If a girl
was to find herself

in a little bind
with the airline,

would you be
in a position to perhaps
put in a good word?

I don't get involved
in personal issues,
if that's what you mean.

It wasn't even
a serious infraction.

I can't help you.
Sorry.

Well...
Thank you anyway.

[GLASSES CLINK]

Did Graham get all
the shots he needed?

I owe him some time
in New York.

Well, I'm sure
it'll be fine.

You'll be
the model stewardess.

Well, that's funny,
coming from you.

I already apologized.

In what language?
Portuguese?

I didn't hear anything
that sounded like
an apology.

No one ever had
any expectations of me.

Never thought
I could get anywhere.

Not my family,
not my friends.

But for some reason,
I did.

Even though
I didn't know where
"anywhere" was

or how I would find it.

Yet here I am.

I made a new me.

I took a lot
of shortcuts,

I told more
than a few fibs.

Every time I got caught,
I moved on.

Each close call was
a stepping-stone
to something better.

But this time,
there is nothing better.

This is it.

I can't lose Pan Am.

Why would you lose it?

[SCOFFS]

The truth is,

I admire you
more than you know.

And I'm sorry, Laura.

He was flying to Zagreb,
but he changed his plans.

Belgrade.

His cousin's on
show trial there.

Anything else?

He's not a Communist.

They don't all
carry cards, you know.

He hates Tito,
admires Martin Luther King,

and he even likes
Frankie Valli &
The Four Seasons.

The part about Tito
is interesting.

He said that Tito's dreams
were not for his people.

Daring words
for a diplomat.

He must trust you.

He shouldn't.

Sounds like he's working
for the wrong people.

Is that what this is about?
You want him to spy for you?

For us.

You'll have
to tread lightly.

Turning a target into an asset
is about patience and control.

For now,
just keep building
on that trust.

You want me
to turn him?

Welcome to
the big leagues.

Richard, no.

I'm a...a courier,
remember? I...
This is...

I can't do this.

With the way Niko feels
about Tito,

how long do you think
he's going to last?

[ENGINE WHIRRING]

[KNOB CLICKS]

Dean.

Everett's inside.
It's fine.

Ginny, let's give this
a few days.

You were right.
Rio was...

I was the accident
waiting to happen.

And the Dinner...
I'm...

I'm sorry that I put you
through that.

I know you are, but...
but this is not the time
to talk about it.

I don't... I don't wanna
sneak around anymore.

Neither do I.

I don't... I don't wanna
pretend anymore.

I can't pretend
anymore, Dean.

Not when
I've fallen in love.

Margaret.

Margaret,
before you go,

the Base Manager's
expecting you in his office.

Already? Now?

I'm sorry.

Margaret? Now.

Okay, um, tell him
I'll be there in a minute.

Mr. Henson, I hate
to bother you again,

but if you would reconsider
helping me out...

I already told you,
I don't get involved in...

What if I returned
the favor?

Saving your job
is more than a favor.

What if I could tell you
something

about someone
you're very close to?
