The Americans (2013–2018): Season 3, Episode 3 - Open House - full transcript
Elizabeth and Philip get closer to the inner circle of the C.I.A. Afghan Group.
Previously on The Americans...
Excuse me. Ma'am?
We're with the FBI--
I put out a lead to the entire
field on dentists, doctors,
so if anyone remotely matching
this woman's description
goes in for an injury
to the face or the jaw,
we'll get an alert.
About Paige--
The Centre takes very seriously
what you said to them
about staying away from her.
Ideologically,
she's open to the right ideas.
We're doing
what we need to be doing.
Philip: It's all been bullshit,
everything you said to me.
You're assessing her.
You're developing her.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
She's my daughter.
I need names-- people working
in the CIA's Afghan group.
[ Sighs ]
There's not much to go on.
28.
"Phlox"?
Flowering herbs.
You're bluffing.
Maybe.
Then again...
dictionary.
Mac Sampson.
Marathon runner--
done it four times this year.
Squeaky clean.
10?
Uh, double word score.
Sorry. 20.
That's the real saint--
Isaac Breland,
head of the division.
Masters in theology
at Notre Dame.
Three kids,
lost his wife to cancer.
Remarried,
and now he raises money
for the hospital
where she died.
It's really slim pickings.
This is our best bet--
Ted Paaswell,
Breland's right-hand man.
He's selling his house.
He's lowered the price
twice this month.
He needs money?
I guess so.
I don't know.
- "Stygian"?
- Sti-gee-an--
"Of or relating to
the river Styx"--
the underworld.
Seven letters.
We'll assess Paaswell.
Philip, assume CIA security's
gonna be watching him
and everyone else on that list.
Let's be realistic
about CIA security.
They can't watch all of them
every hour of the day.
They know who we're targeting.
They're going to want to protect
everyone in the agency
who's working against us
on Afghanistan.
Be very cautious.
Win some, lose some.
[ Tiles rattle ]
Elizabeth looks at you
very differently now.
Yeah.
I know how hard this is
for you, with Paige.
It's hard for The Centre, too.
They're learning
from their mistakes.
Jared murdered his family.
Well,
that's hardly a risk here.
I just want Paige
to make her own decisions.
We all do.
Are you sure about that?
Your turn.
Yeah.
Standing outside
the Stride Rite?
[ Foreign accent ] Female, 5'5",
black hair, blue eye shadow,
guess jean jacket,
and Corduroy Pants.
Man hailing a taxi?
5'9", about 30,
in wire-rimmed glasses,
gray windbreaker,
and Buster Brown shoes.
If I had somebody on you,
who would it have been?
Guy in the white coat.
Checked, collared shirt
underneath, black sneakers.
- No, not him.
- No?
No surveillant would ever
get that close to you.
Did you have someone on me?
Just me.
Oh, you, I saw right away.
[ Laughs ]
[ Gasps ]
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
You need to work on seeing
the opposite side of the street.
I understand.
It takes a lot of practice,
and even then...
[ Bell ringing ]
I have to TA a class
in an hour.
Oh.
What's today's lesson?
Hicks vs. Slutsky.
You can live without wants,
but you can't live
without needs.
This society is very focused
on wants.
"The production
of too many useful things
results in
too many useless people."
Marx?
Do you mind me asking--
What do you think
of stone-washed jeans?
[ Laughing ] Why?
I think they're cool.
I was going to buy a pair.
[ Laughing ] Okay.
Uh... I don't know much
about fashion.
Really?
You always look great.
I'm sorry. I did--
I didn't mean it like that.
I hope not.
I'll be in touch.
Elizabeth:
Paige's birthday's coming up.
Philip: I know.
I saw a necklace she'd like.
How do you know?
How do I know what?
That she'd like it.
Maybe you think she'd like it
because you like it.
It'd be from both of us.
Did you buy it?
No, I didn't buy it.
I wanted to talk to you
about it.
You had mentioned
getting her a ten-speed,
and I just think
both feels like too much.
The necklace is fine.
I saw Hans today.
He's making progress.
Good.
He was checking me out.
I'm sure he liked what he saw.
I put a quick end to it.
Was that wise,
shutting him down like that?
I mean, you recruit men.
That's part of it, right?
What is with you?
When you met with Gabriel,
you talked about Paige.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, without me.
He wants to help.
That's all.
He knows this is hard for you.
- Oh.
- Oh!
Ah.
Thank you.
Um, it's very frustrating.
Yeah, I noticed this catastrophe
on my first day.
I never use it.
If I need to pick up
or deliver a file,
I just walk
down the hallway myself.
Well,
it is time-consuming.
It's efficient.
It takes more time
to track down a misplaced file
than it takes
to hand-deliver it.
- Mm.
- And I don't like to waste time.
I should let--
let you get back to work, then.
Well, talking to you is...
not a waste of time, Martha.
Thank you, Agent Aderholt.
[ Both laugh ]
Now we've run out
of conversations.
Well... for now.
So, until next time, Martha...
Sure.
I'm just...
Oh. N-- Mm-hmm.
Hey, uh, Stan, listen.
I'm sorry if I was
abrupt the other day.
Oh, you weren't abrupt.
I should have filled you in
right away. I had a bad night.
A woman the size of my mother
beat the crap out of me.
I'm sure she could have
taken down any one of us.
Agent Aderholt, line 2--
Buffalo Field Office.
This is gonna be another call
about a dentist
with a 70-year-old patient
who slipped on the ice
and broke her jaw.
I'm getting
five of these a day.
People love to cooperate.
Aderholt.
[ Indistinct conversation ]
Elizabeth: And it said in the
paper there's a sun-room?
Best room in the house--
except the kids
have taken it over.
Can I see that?
- Uh, right-- right this way.
- Honey?
Uh, you know,
I-I meant to check the attic.
Is it the string
hanging outside the bathroom?
Yeah. Use both hands.
It sticks.
I-I will.
I'll meet you guys in a minute.
[ Sighs ]
Wow.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, it's impossible
not to buy your kids
everything they want, right?
You know, I noticed
the, uh, price of the house
dropped again.
The family's eager to sell.
Is there anything wrong
with the house?
- [ Door opens ]
- I mean, you know, between us girls.
Hello. Mr. Paaswell.
I know--
I'm not supposed to be here.
Forgot one thing.
Uh, why don't I show you
the garden?
[ Footsteps approach ]
[ Door opens ]
Oh. Uh... hello.
Hi.
I, uh, I was just trying
to figure out
where the heat comes in
from the baseboard.
Uh, doesn't work anyway.
I bring a space heater in
during the winter.
I'm-- I'm so sorry.
This is your house?
Uh, not for long, hopefully.
Oh. Uh, I j-- I'm sorry.
I just-- I just wandered in.
Well,
it's an open house, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And-- and the realtor
said there was a--
there was a home office,
and I've always wanted one.
Listen, this is a great house.
You should buy it.
But whatever you do,
turn this room into a den.
When you have a home office,
you use it.
You come home,
you barely have dinner,
and you keep working.
You bring work home,
and your wife starts
to resent it, resent you.
Next thing you know...
[ Sighs ]
Anyway, I'm not supposed to be
up here during the open house,
so...
Just had to grab something.
Well, good luck.
[ Engine turns over ]
[ Indistinct conversation ]
- What do you think?
- I like it.
- Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty good.
- Well, good, good.
So, thank you so much
for coming.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
Bye.
- Good, right?
- So... And that's good. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah?
[ Static ]
Philip: Almost.
- ♪ I'm all out of love ♪
- There he is.
♪ I'm so lost without you ♪
He's taking it hard--
the divorce.
He starts singing, he's had it.
♪ I'm all out of love,
I'm so lost without you ♪
I'll get Gabriel that
checking-account info tomorrow.
Maybe those deposits are coming
from somewhere interesting.
♪ I'm all out of love ♪
- ♪ what am I without you ♪
- Take a right up here.
- Okay.
- ♪ I can't be too late ♪
♪ to say that I was so wrong ♪

[ Car door opens ]
- Hi, Mr. Paaswell.
- Hey, Kimberly.
You look really nice tonight.
I like your shirt.
Thanks.
It's, uh, Perry Ellis.
[ Chuckles ]
How's school going?
Ugh.
Algebra is not math.
It's, like, graphs and letters.
How can you solve letters?
Keep straight. I think
they're just one street over.
- Okay.
- Yeah, math wasn't my thing, either.
I bet you were a jock
and all the girls
had crushes on you.
- No, hardly.
- [ Laughs ]
I'm gonna need you
Saturday night again.
Babysitter?
I think so.
A date?
My friend Kate's parents
went through a divorce.
She said her father
only started to come out of it
once he was dating again.
Thanks for the advice.
Grown-ups aren't that different
than kids.
You go through a breakup,
and what you really need
is a good fling.
Wow. Interesting theory.
Well, it's not natural
just to be with one person
your whole life.
This keeps going,
we're gonna--
- Silver Lincoln Versailles.
- They've done studies.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
Just saw it.
Think it was the second time.
When was the first time?
About an hour and a half ago--
somewhere near Maxwell.
You sure it's the same one?
No.
All right, what did we do
since South Jefferson?
We turned on Prospect
and we made one turn on Center.
Let's figure the CIA
would have one car behind
and a minimum of six more--
three on each street.
That'd be small.
Well, we haven't
been pulled over yet,
so if there is a team on us,
they're waiting to see
where we're going.
We have some time, then.
At least there's that.
10:45,
Maple Ave. and Green Street.
I'll see you at home.
Okay.
Henry?
Do you have any laundry?
Paige!
Give it to me!
- No!
- Give it back!
- Stop!
- Give it to me!
No! What, are you in love
with Mrs. Beeman?
You're disgusting!
It's not even mine!
[ Sighs ]
Okay.
[ Dance music plays ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
[ Door closes ]
[ Ringing continues ]
Hello?
My friend hit some heavy traffic
on the way home.
There is a two-car accident
on Maple and Green,
and it won't be cleared
until 10:45.
Sorry to hear that.
Traffic's awful these days.
This is Memphis.
Target on Yellow Springs Road.
Well, how many cars
are on them?
11, but they cycled through
twice.
They asked for help.
We sent three or four guys
from Charlie Rizzens' team.
And what about Aderholt?
I left him a message.
Call him again.
And then see if you can
get on the radio with Rizzens.
[ Beep ]
[ Static ]
Man: Turn right onto Fredrick,
then left on Liberty.
[ Sighs ]
Man on TV:
...the limits of the possible.
We have taken risks
that have changed the world.
We are explorers
illuminating the future.
At Don Beyer Volvo,
we will go to shocking extremes
to transform your
dealership-service experience.
Don Beyer Volvo.
Hi.

Mickey Gilley:
Mr. Roarke, I'm leavin'.
What are you still doing up?
Couldn't sleep.
You may have thought Sherwood's was
what I had in mind. Well, it's not.
Roarke: But, Mr. Gilley,
there have been changes made.
What kind of changes could Sherwood
possibly have made in one afternoon?
It would take the Lord himself
a whole year.
[ Laughs ] I'm afraid
you vastly underestimate
Mr. Sherwood's potential,
Mr. Gilley.
I saw his potential sitting near-empty
out there in that jungle...
Look, I know
it's hard on you--
your-- your mom and me
working so much.
I'm used to it.
R-really?
Or j-- are you--
you just saying that?
No, I'm really used to it.
Mr. Roarke, I want this fantasy
so bad, I can taste it.
It's okay, dad.
I'm fine.
I really wish you guys
would stop worrying about me.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Good night.
Well, I guess... maybe
one more look wouldn't hurt.
I promise you--
it won't hurt a bit.
[ Door opens ]
Where are they?
Fredrick,
approaching Liberty Road.
They should grab her.
CIA. They want to see
where it leads.
And if she gets away?
They've got her surrounded.
But only one set of eyes
on her.
At any given time, she only
has to get away from one car.
I'm telling you, this is
what happened with Hermann.
They said to follow him
for the next year
and he'll lead you
to something.
These people, they'll talk.
They're human beings.
But we can't crack them
if we don't have them.
CIA's operation.
Legally, sir--
I know the law, Stan.
Get a roadblock,
pull her over--
now, before it's too late.
All right, go on, both of you.
I'll get on the phone.
[ Door opens, closes ]
Reporter: The four-day conference
that concluded in Geneva today
of the general agreement
on tariffs and trade
looked promising.
But despite the attendance
of 88 nations
and strong urging
by the US and others,
participants failed
to agree upon an agenda
for a new round of multilateral
trade negotiations.
The failure
of the four-day conference
to conclude
fundamental agreements
is likely to heighten
the already-present dangers
of economic nationalism,
that has been triggered
by the worldwide recession
and rising unemployment
in most countries.
Secretary of State
George Schultz remains hopeful
about the future
of world trade deliberations.
Man: 90 seconds.
Pulling off Fredrick.
Toledo has the target.
50 seconds.
Get ready to fall in.
[ Static ]
This is Toledo
on Liberty. Over.
- [ Static ]
- Toledo, come in. Are you there?
This is Toledo
on Liberty. Over.
Can anybody hear me?
- [ Static ]
Woman #1: - Come in, Toledo.
Man #2: Chicago,
you don't have Toledo either?
Man: 10 seconds.
Toledo: Can anybody hear me?
Anybody out there?

They are hard to get.
Yes.
But you got one.
Your last assignment.
I was on a team.
Gaad tells me
you worked in Arkansas
with the White Supremacists.
Yeah, seems like
a long time ago now.
I'd like to buy you a beer
sometime--
hear those war stories.
I'm not much on war stories.
But I'll take the beer.
[ Chuckles ]
I got to go babysit
Zin-- Zi--
the defector.
I got three more appearances
today.
Can I ask you just one thing?
Yeah.
What did it take to fool them?
You tell them
what they want to hear--
over and over and over again.
That's it?
People love hearing
how right they are.
[ Sets glass down ]
Oh, Clark, I got
the nicest call the other day
from my friend
Lorraine Dehrenney.
I told you about her, right?
From college?
Mm-hmm.
Well, she runs
a community outreach program.
She looking for money?
Yes, but, uh, lately,
she's also been getting involved
with foster care
and finding homes
for kids who need them.
Martha, how many more times
are we gonna have
this conversation?
We were talking about babies.
I don't want kids.
How do you know
what it is that you want?
Wha-- what?
Because I know.
But this is different.
Why? 'Cause you get 'em
from a catalog?
No, because it's temporary,
so you can try it out.
Like leasing a car?
No.
Will you stop it?
They need it.
They don't have homes.
Well, putting them in one
that doesn't want them
can't be all that helpful.
Clark!
We have so much.
[ Sighs ]
You don't see the value
of sharing that
with somebody
who doesn't have anything?
Somebody young who could learn
and grow and have a home?
That kind of relationship
with a young person--
that doesn't appeal to you
at all?
[ Sighs ]
Mm.
[ Slow music playing ]
Female, 35, cropped hair,
by the mailbox,
with a large parcel,
blue umbrella--
I only want
the street before the park.
Man by the dry cleaner?
Two, actually.
One in the window,
picked up a suit--
not a tuxedo, but formal.
And one outside.
The other side of the street?
Male, 5'10",
with wavy, brown hair,
in a denim jean jacket
with an REO Speedwagon patch
on the pocket.
That's good.
You did well today.
You think I'm ready?
It takes a lot of time,
but you're gonna get there.
Listen,
about the other day, uh--
No, I...
I was out of line.
It's okay.
It's all right.
Um...
You know, in this line of work,
sex is dangerous.
There's chemistry,
obviously, but...
there's someone in my life--
someone important--
and I don't want
to screw that up.
I understand.
And I promise
it won't happen again.
Is Elizabeth all right?
She's fine.
It was a very close call.
It's not the first time.
What about
those bank transfers?
[ Sighs ] Paaswell's mother
is helping him hide the money
so his wife doesn't go after it
in the divorce.
Family.
We have something else.
We heard Paaswell
talking with his babysitter.
Talking.
Yeah.
It didn't... sound right.
We think
there's something there.
So if we could get
confirmation--
No. It's just too risky
after what happened last night.
I want you to just cool things
for a while.
We could sit
near to where we picked them up.
We have a date
he's gonna use her again,
so we just wait
for them to come by,
we stay in audio range,
out of visual,
and we just listen.
Your target may be dragging
a surveillance net with him
wherever he goes.
We'd never get
within visual range,
so surveillance wouldn't have
a reason to look at us.
If we get him
with the babysitter--
Not everything
is worth the risk, Philip.
No, you're right.
Not everything is.
Paige is strong--
like her mother.
That's a good thing.
[ Scoffs ] Is it?
Because if you bring her
into this,
anything could happen.
That's true for anyone.
And that's it?
That's all you have to say?
So tell me
what you'd like me to say.
Would you like me
to promise you
that everything's
going to be okay with Paige?
You know I can't do that.
No one can.
We chose to do this
with our lives--
you, me, Elizabeth--
to-- to live this way.
Paige will have a choice.
She is 14 years old!
There is always a choice.
Really?
Because Paige grew up here.
Her life has been easy.
She's not equipped to deal with this shit!
[ Cup slams ]
Philip.
[ Door slams ]

So, you're saying
that at the same time
you're invading
a sovereign nation,
imposing a godless system
on a free, religious people--
Zinaida:
A system they didn't want.
The Afghan people
never wanted this Communism.
But at the same time, back home,
you've got breadlines,
joblessness.
No freedom of speech,
no freedom of press--
As you say,
no bread many times.
The rest of the world
must know this.
I risk my life to come here.
I must be able to die for it.
We're killing
thousands of people
to force bad system to them.
Our soldiers, our boys,
kill and die in a country
that does not belong to them,
just so the old man
wanted to keep their power.
[ Sighs ]
[ Static ]
Philip:
How's your mouth?
Elizabeth: It's fine.
Stan gave me that bottle,
you know.
Single-malt Irish whiskey.
It's the best of the best.
Yeah.
[ Inhales deeply ]
What are we gonna do
about Paige?
I don't know.
Kimberly: - Oh, my God! You're blushing!
Paaswell: - I'm not.
- Yeah. I think it's cute.
- Kimberly...
I can't have
a serious conversation
with the boys in my class.
They're boys.
I need someone more mature.
- Yeah?
- Well...
Shit.
He's right behind us.
- I'm much more attracted to men.
- We have to see this.
We can't risk it.
Just a pass-by. We could be
anybody on the street.
We should get photos.
[ Engine turns over ]
I'm much more attracted
to men who know what they want.
- And what they need.
- Look...
What? It's true.
It's not my fault.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It's just life, you know?
Sometimes you just need
some really hot sex.
Kimberly. This is not
an appropriate conversation.
I don't want to have to say
something to your father.
Shit.
Bye.
I know that license plate.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
Paaswell:
Good to see you, Isaac.
Isaac: Thanks, Ted.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
That's Isaac Breland.
What?
The-- the girl,
her father.
That's the head
of the CIA Afghan group.
Well, how about that.
Excuse me. Ma'am?
We're with the FBI--
I put out a lead to the entire
field on dentists, doctors,
so if anyone remotely matching
this woman's description
goes in for an injury
to the face or the jaw,
we'll get an alert.
About Paige--
The Centre takes very seriously
what you said to them
about staying away from her.
Ideologically,
she's open to the right ideas.
We're doing
what we need to be doing.
Philip: It's all been bullshit,
everything you said to me.
You're assessing her.
You're developing her.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
She's my daughter.
I need names-- people working
in the CIA's Afghan group.
[ Sighs ]
There's not much to go on.

That's the real saint--
Isaac Breland,
head of the division.
Masters in theology
at Notre Dame.
Three kids,
lost his wife to cancer.
Remarried,
and now he raises money
for the hospital
where she died.
It's really slim pickings.
This is our best bet--
Ted Paaswell,
Breland's right-hand man.
He's selling his house.
He's lowered the price
twice this month.
He needs money?
I guess so.
I don't know.
- "Stygian"?
- Sti-gee-an--
"Of or relating to
the river Styx"--
the underworld.
Seven letters.
We'll assess Paaswell.
Philip, assume CIA security's
gonna be watching him
and everyone else on that list.
Let's be realistic
about CIA security.
They can't watch all of them
every hour of the day.
They know who we're targeting.
They're going to want to protect
everyone in the agency
who's working against us
on Afghanistan.
Be very cautious.
Win some, lose some.
[ Tiles rattle ]
Elizabeth looks at you
very differently now.
Yeah.
I know how hard this is
for you, with Paige.
It's hard for The Centre, too.
They're learning
from their mistakes.
Jared murdered his family.
Well,
that's hardly a risk here.
I just want Paige
to make her own decisions.
We all do.
Are you sure about that?
Your turn.
Yeah.
Standing outside
the Stride Rite?
[ Foreign accent ] Female, 5'5",
black hair, blue eye shadow,

and Corduroy Pants.
Man hailing a taxi?
5'9", about 30,
in wire-rimmed glasses,

and Buster Brown shoes.
If I had somebody on you,
who would it have been?
Guy in the white coat.
Checked, collared shirt
underneath, black sneakers.
- No, not him.
- No?
No surveillant would ever
get that close to you.
Did you have someone on me?
Just me.
Oh, you, I saw right away.
[ Laughs ]
[ Gasps ]
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
You need to work on seeing
the opposite side of the street.
I understand.
It takes a lot of practice,
and even then...
[ Bell ringing ]
I have to TA a class
in an hour.
Oh.
What's today's lesson?
Hicks vs. Slutsky.
You can live without wants,
but you can't live
without needs.
This society is very focused
on wants.

of too many useful things

too many useless people."

Do you mind me asking--
What do you think
of stone-washed jeans?
[ Laughing ] Why?
I think they're cool.
I was going to buy a pair.
[ Laughing ] Okay.
Uh... I don't know much
about fashion.
Really?
You always look great.
I'm sorry. I did--
I didn't mean it like that.
I hope not.
I'll be in touch.
Elizabeth:
Paige's birthday's coming up.
Philip: I know.
I saw a necklace she'd like.
How do you know?
How do I know what?
That she'd like it.
Maybe you think she'd like it
because you like it.
It'd be from both of us.
Did you buy it?
No, I didn't buy it.
I wanted to talk to you
about it.
You had mentioned
getting her a ten-speed,
and I just think
both feels like too much.
The necklace is fine.
I saw Hans today.
He's making progress.
Good.
He was checking me out.
I'm sure he liked what he saw.
I put a quick end to it.
Was that wise,
shutting him down like that?
I mean, you recruit men.
That's part of it, right?
What is with you?
When you met with Gabriel,
you talked about Paige.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, without me.
He wants to help.
That's all.
He knows this is hard for you.
- Oh.
- Oh!
Ah.
Thank you.
Um, it's very frustrating.
Yeah, I noticed this catastrophe
on my first day.
I never use it.
If I need to pick up
or deliver a file,
I just walk
down the hallway myself.
Well,
it is time-consuming.
It's efficient.
It takes more time
to track down a misplaced file
than it takes
to hand-deliver it.
- Mm.
- And I don't like to waste time.
I should let--
let you get back to work, then.
Well, talking to you is...
not a waste of time, Martha.
Thank you, Agent Aderholt.
[ Both laugh ]
Now we've run out
of conversations.
Well... for now.
So, until next time, Martha...
Sure.
I'm just...
Oh. N-- Mm-hmm.
Hey, uh, Stan, listen.
I'm sorry if I was
abrupt the other day.
Oh, you weren't abrupt.
I should have filled you in
right away. I had a bad night.
A woman the size of my mother
beat the crap out of me.
I'm sure she could have
taken down any one of us.
Agent Aderholt, line 2--
Buffalo Field Office.
This is gonna be another call

Elizabeth: And it said in the
paper there's a sun-room?
Best room in the house--
except the kids
have taken it over.
Can I see that?
- Uh, right-- right this way.
- Honey?
Uh, you know,
I-I meant to check the attic.
Is it the string
hanging outside the bathroom?
Yeah. Use both hands.
It sticks.
I-I will.
I'll meet you guys in a minute.
[ Sighs ]
Wow.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, it's impossible
not to buy your kids
everything they want, right?
You know, I noticed
the, uh, price of the house
dropped again.
The family's eager to sell.
Is there anything wrong
with the house?
- [ Door opens ]
- I mean, you know, between us girls.
Hello. Mr. Paaswell.
I know--
I'm not supposed to be here.
Forgot one thing.
Uh, why don't I show you
the garden?
[ Footsteps approach ]
[ Door opens ]
Oh. Uh... hello.
Hi.
I, uh, I was just trying
to figure out
where the heat comes in
from the baseboard.
Uh, doesn't work anyway.
I bring a space heater in
during the winter.
I'm-- I'm so sorry.
This is your house?
Uh, not for long, hopefully.
Oh. Uh, I j-- I'm sorry.
I just-- I just wandered in.
Well,
it's an open house, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And-- and the realtor
said there was a--
there was a home office,
and I've always wanted one.
Listen, this is a great house.
You should buy it.
But whatever you do,
turn this room into a den.
When you have a home office,
you use it.
You come home,
you barely have dinner,
and you keep working.
You bring work home,
and your wife starts
to resent it, resent you.
Next thing you know...
[ Sighs ]
Anyway, I'm not supposed to be
up here during the open house,
so...
Just had to grab something.
Well, good luck.
[ Engine turns over ]
[ Indistinct conversation ]
- What do you think?
- I like it.
- Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty good.
- Well, good, good.
So, thank you so much
for coming.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
Bye.
- Good, right?
- So... And that's good. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah?

- Hey, Kimberly.
You look really nice tonight.
I like your shirt.
Thanks.
It's, uh, Perry Ellis.
[ Chuckles ]
How's school going?
Ugh.
Algebra is not math.
It's, like, graphs and letters.
How can you solve letters?
Keep straight. I think
they're just one street over.
- Okay.
- Yeah, math wasn't my thing, either.
I bet you were a jock
and all the girls
had crushes on you.
- No, hardly.
- [ Laughs ]
I'm gonna need you
Saturday night again.
Babysitter?
I think so.
A date?
My friend Kate's parents
went through a divorce.
She said her father
only started to come out of it
once he was dating again.
Thanks for the advice.
Grown-ups aren't that different
than kids.
You go through a breakup,
and what you really need
is a good fling.
Wow. Interesting theory.
Well, it's not natural
just to be with one person
your whole life.
This keeps going,
we're gonna--
- Silver Lincoln Versailles.
- They've done studies.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
Just saw it.
Think it was the second time.
When was the first time?
About an hour and a half ago--
somewhere near Maxwell.
You sure it's the same one?
No.
All right, what did we do
since South Jefferson?
We turned on Prospect
and we made one turn on Center.
Let's figure the CIA
would have one car behind
and a minimum of six more--
three on each street.
That'd be small.
Well, we haven't
been pulled over yet,
so if there is a team on us,
they're waiting to see
where we're going.
We have some time, then.
At least there's that.
10:45,
Maple Ave. and Green Street.
I'll see you at home.
Okay.
Henry?
Do you have any laundry?
Paige!
Give it to me!
- No!
- Give it back!
- Stop!
- Give it to me!
No! What, are you in love
with Mrs. Beeman?
You're disgusting!
It's not even mine!
[ Sighs ]
Okay.

Hello?
My friend hit some heavy traffic
on the way home.
There is a two-car accident
on Maple and Green,
and it won't be cleared
until 10:45.
Sorry to hear that.
Traffic's awful these days.
This is Memphis.
Target on Yellow Springs Road.
Well, how many cars
are on them?
11, but they cycled through
twice.
They asked for help.
We sent three or four guys
from Charlie Rizzens' team.
And what about Aderholt?
I left him a message.
Call him again.
And then see if you can
get on the radio with Rizzens.

Mickey Gilley:
Mr. Roarke, I'm leavin'.
What are you still doing up?
Couldn't sleep.
You may have thought Sherwood's was
what I had in mind. Well, it's not.
Roarke: But, Mr. Gilley,
there have been changes made.
What kind of changes could Sherwood
possibly have made in one afternoon?
It would take the Lord himself
a whole year.
[ Laughs ] I'm afraid
you vastly underestimate
Mr. Sherwood's potential,
Mr. Gilley.
I saw his potential sitting near-empty
out there in that jungle...
Look, I know
it's hard on you--
your-- your mom and me
working so much.
I'm used to it.
R-really?
Or j-- are you--
you just saying that?
No, I'm really used to it.
Mr. Roarke, I want this fantasy
so bad, I can taste it.
It's okay, dad.
I'm fine.
I really wish you guys
would stop worrying about me.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Good night.
Well, I guess... maybe
one more look wouldn't hurt.
I promise you--
it won't hurt a bit.
[ Door opens ]
Where are they?
Fredrick,
approaching Liberty Road.
They should grab her.
CIA. They want to see
where it leads.
And if she gets away?
They've got her surrounded.
But only one set of eyes
on her.
At any given time, she only
has to get away from one car.
I'm telling you, this is
what happened with Hermann.
They said to follow him
for the next year
and he'll lead you
to something.
These people, they'll talk.
They're human beings.
But we can't crack them
if we don't have them.
CIA's operation.
Legally, sir--
I know the law, Stan.
Get a roadblock,
pull her over--
now, before it's too late.
All right, go on, both of you.
I'll get on the phone.

Reporter: The four-day conference
that concluded in Geneva today
of the general agreement
on tariffs and trade
looked promising.
But despite the attendance
of 88 nations
and strong urging
by the US and others,
participants failed
to agree upon an agenda
for a new round of multilateral
trade negotiations.
The failure
of the four-day conference
to conclude
fundamental agreements
is likely to heighten
the already-present dangers
of economic nationalism,
that has been triggered
by the worldwide recession
and rising unemployment
in most countries.
Secretary of State
George Schultz remains hopeful
about the future
of world trade deliberations.

you worked in Arkansas

Yeah, seems like

I'd like to buy you a beer

hear those war stories.
I'm not much on war stories.
But I'll take the beer.

over and over and over again.
That's it?
People love hearing

[ Sets glass down ]
Oh, Clark, I got
the nicest call the other day
from my friend
Lorraine Dehrenney.
I told you about her, right?
From college?
Mm-hmm.
Well, she runs
a community outreach program.
She looking for money?
Yes, but, uh, lately,
she's also been getting involved
with foster care
and finding homes
for kids who need them.
Martha, how many more times
are we gonna have
this conversation?
We were talking about babies.
I don't want kids.
How do you know
what it is that you want?
Wha-- what?
Because I know.
But this is different.
Why? 'Cause you get 'em
from a catalog?
No, because it's temporary,
so you can try it out.
Like leasing a car?
No.
Will you stop it?
They need it.
They don't have homes.
Well, putting them in one
that doesn't want them
can't be all that helpful.
Clark!
We have so much.
[ Sighs ]
You don't see the value
of sharing that
with somebody
who doesn't have anything?
Somebody young who could learn
and grow and have a home?
That kind of relationship
with a young person--
that doesn't appeal to you
at all?
[ Sighs ]
Mm.

Female, 35, cropped hair,
by the mailbox,
with a large parcel,
blue umbrella--
I only want
the street before the park.
Man by the dry cleaner?
Two, actually.
One in the window,
picked up a suit--
not a tuxedo, but formal.
And one outside.
The other side of the street?
Male, 5'10",
with wavy, brown hair,
in a denim jean jacket
with an REO Speedwagon patch
on the pocket.
That's good.
You did well today.
You think I'm ready?
It takes a lot of time,
but you're gonna get there.
Listen,
about the other day, uh--
No, I...
I was out of line.
It's okay.
It's all right.
Um...
You know, in this line of work,
sex is dangerous.
There's chemistry,
obviously, but...
there's someone in my life--
someone important--
and I don't want
to screw that up.
I understand.
And I promise
it won't happen again.
Is Elizabeth all right?
She's fine.
It was a very close call.
It's not the first time.
What about
those bank transfers?
[ Sighs ] Paaswell's mother
is helping him hide the money
so his wife doesn't go after it
in the divorce.
Family.
We have something else.
We heard Paaswell
talking with his babysitter.
Talking.
Yeah.
It didn't... sound right.
We think
there's something there.
So if we could get
confirmation--
No. It's just too risky
after what happened last night.
I want you to just cool things
for a while.
We could sit
near to where we picked them up.
We have a date
he's gonna use her again,
so we just wait
for them to come by,
we stay in audio range,
out of visual,
and we just listen.
Your target may be dragging
a surveillance net with him
wherever he goes.
We'd never get
within visual range,
so surveillance wouldn't have
a reason to look at us.
If we get him
with the babysitter--
Not everything
is worth the risk, Philip.
No, you're right.
Not everything is.
Paige is strong--
like her mother.
That's a good thing.
[ Scoffs ] Is it?
Because if you bring her
into this,
anything could happen.
That's true for anyone.
And that's it?
That's all you have to say?
So tell me
what you'd like me to say.
Would you like me
to promise you
that everything's
going to be okay with Paige?
You know I can't do that.
No one can.
We chose to do this
with our lives--
you, me, Elizabeth--
to-- to live this way.
Paige will have a choice.
She is 14 years old!
There is always a choice.
Really?
Because Paige grew up here.
Her life has been easy.
She's not equipped to deal with this shit!

So, you're saying
that at the same time
you're invading
a sovereign nation,
imposing a godless system
on a free, religious people--
Zinaida:
A system they didn't want.
The Afghan people
never wanted this Communism.
But at the same time, back home,
you've got breadlines,
joblessness.
No freedom of speech,
no freedom of press--
As you say,
no bread many times.

must know this.
I risk my life to come here.
I must be able to die for it.

- Yeah?

- We have to see this.
We can't risk it.
Just a pass-by. We could be

We should get photos.
[ Engine turns over ]
I'm much more attracted
to men who know what they want.
- And what they need.
- Look...
What? It's true.
It's not my fault.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It's just life, you know?
Sometimes you just need
