The Americans (2013–2018): Season 3, Episode 5 - Salang Pass - full transcript
Philip juggled the many women in his life while Elizabeth takes drastic measures to complete a mission. Stan asserts a plan to save Nina with an unlikely ally.
Martha: Previously on
The Americans...
The Afghan people
never wanted this Communism.
The rest of the world
must know this.
I risk my life to come here.
Something doesn't feel right
to me about Zinaida.
She's gonna meet senators,
cabinet members.
She could meet the President.
If, by some wild chance,
there is something here,
we need to know.
Philip: I was going over
the files again of Martha's.
Nine people are getting
security clearances
for a new Northrop factory.
The Centre will want Lisa
in there soon.
Life gets pretty boring
when you stop drinking.
So, tell me about you.
What kind of work do you do?
Assembly line.
It's a company called Northrop.
I've been thinking,
and what I really want this year
is to get baptized.
These are great.
You guys look 25.
We've never used
someone this young before.
The CIA's a hard target.

[ Laughs ]
Oh, my God, Clark.
Look at her.
♪ dried up all the rain ♪
What's her name?
That's Alicia.
Isn't she something?
[ Chuckles ]
- Oh, couldn't you just eat her up?
- [ Chuckles ]
- Could we have a minute?
- Of course.
Thank you.
You got to admit.
I-- We're not
buying one today.
[ Chuckles ]
Joke all you like, Clark,
but this is serious.
I-I know.
And this isn't just for me.
Think about what it would
be like to come home
and have that little girl
running towards you
and throwing her arms
around you.
We have a lot
of love now, but...
there are other kinds of love.
You can't catch me!
I'm coming!
- Wait for me!
- Let's play princesses!
Go get them.
[ Children shouting playfully,
laughter ]
- Cute.
- [ Laughing ] Oh, I know.
Yeah.
My kids haven't played
like this in a long time.
You weren't at
the meeting again.
I'll get there.
You're white-knuckling it.
You know that doesn't work.
You need the meetings
and the support right now.
[ Sighs ]
When someone falls
like Maurice,
hanging on doesn't always help,
because then you're
gonna fall, too.
Yeah, so I should
just let him go?
I think you need a break.
Listen, my mom has this place.
She just moved
into a nursing home.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
The house is completely empty.
Why don't you go
stay there for a while,
get yourself together?
[ Scoffs ]
I can't do that.
Why not?
It's 50 miles from here.
It's a great neighborhood,
great schools.
It'll give you a chance
to get back on your feet,
be with the kids.
Come on. How long
are they gonna sleep
on your sister's floor?
See how you do without Maurice,
even for a few weeks.
It'll also give him
a chance to turn things around.
You could still come back here,
drive to work.
You can't live like this, Lisa.
Let me help you out.
I'd like to.
[ Coughs ]
[ Sniffles ]
You asked what I can do
to help her.
Well, I have an idea.
I think your defector
isn't a defector.
Zinaida Preobrazhenskaya?
I think she just might be
a Russian spy.
[ Sighs ]
You're out of your mind.
If I can prove it,
we'll arrest her.
Then there's a good chance
my government can make a trade.
For Nina.
The FBI will go to bat for her.
She was our asset.
They won't leave her to rot in
the gulag if they have a choice.
Prisoner exchange.
[ Sighs ]
You got something better?
[ Sighs ]
I know what you're thinking.
"Maybe he's trying to trap me
the way I trapped him."
That makes sense.
But you know what, Oleg?
I don't care enough about you
to go to all that trouble.
So, what do you know
about Zinaida?
Nothing.
Okay.
[ Sighs ]
I'm being honest.
If Zinaida is one of ours...
[Sniffs]
I don't know.
Well, this is what I got.
You say you want to help her?
Find out.
When you land, take a week,
be in touch with us next Friday.
Listen, you got what
you needed from me.
Leave me alone now.
I can't do that.
I don't belong to you.
I didn't say that.
I helped you.
I got you to the Afghan group.
Yousaf, this isn't about me.
This is about war
and peace for all of us.
So, when you get back,
start to make peace
with the fundamentalist factions
in ISI.
[ Scoffs ]
Make peace?
Look at the people
you're fighting with.
Just today, did you hear?
10 of your soldiers
flayed alive
and left in the sun to rot.
You're fighting barbarians.
Us now. You next.
And maybe sooner than you think.
It's happening now.
The fundamentalists
are everywhere in Pakistan.
Our officers
are growing their beards.
We had our assessments.
The colonel added
a new question--
"How religious are you,
scale of 1 to 10?"
I said 5--
already a lie.
Most of the other division heads
said 10.
Next time...
say 10, Yousaf.
Announcer: [ British accent ]
The confirmed death toll
now stands
at 64 Soviet soldiers
and 112 Afghan army soldiers.
But reports of fuel
and ordnance explosions
in the Salang tunnel indicate
the toll could go much higher.
You're listening to BBC News.
[ Radio shuts off ]
You look worried.
[ Sighs ]
Martha took me to a foster-care
place to look at kids.
[ Sighs ]
They're so little.
Remember when walking
without falling on their faces
was a big deal?
Remember Henry?
[ Laughs ]
Paige was so graceful.
Paige?
No, she wasn't.
Yes, she was.
Philip, don't you remember
that whole summer
she kept falling down?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
The summer of skinned knees.
I could almost do it
if it keep Martha on track.
Where are you with Kimberly?
I'm seeing her tomorrow night,
so I should be
in the house soon.
What's she like?
Young.
I have to go make dinner.
Henry: But John has
the biggest vocabulary.
He's always like, "Albeit."
I'm like, "What?"
[ Stan laughs ]
You know, I still don't know
what that means-- "Albeit."
What grown-up even says
"Albeit," right?
Well, you should meet
our special agent in charge.
- Is that your boss?
- Yep.
No matter how old you get,
you're still working
for the man.
[ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]
So, how's Mrs. Beeman?
Fine. She's great.
May I please change
the subject?
- Yeah.
Philip: - Yeah.
Um, I'd like to buy
a dress for my baptism.
Oh, hey, this baptism--
I think that's great.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Um, so, about the dress--
I don't need anything fancy.
I'll use my own money, but
I just need someone to take me.
- Don't you have a dress--
- I can take you.
You have
the Pacific Tours seminar, so...
I can take her to buy a dress.
[ Tools clattering ]
Woman: Tom! Dinner!
Five more minutes.

Couldn't we go somewhere
a little more private?
Oh, yeah. No, it's just, uh,
my friends always come here,
so I figured
I'd get a ride with them,
and that way I could see you.
Yeah, yeah, no.
I just thought it'd be
us hanging out,
not a whole group.
No, no, I was
thinking that, too,
but we'll just toke up here,
and then we can leave,

- Hey.
Kimmy.
Who's this?
Uh... he's a friend of mine.
What kind of friend?
It's none of your business.
She asked me to come
give her a ride.
I could give you a ride, Kimmy.
Great.
You should give her a ride.
Take care, Kimmy.

James, they're idiots.
Please.
Yeah, in

You're young.

Yes, I--
I really like you.

[ Sighs ]
Elizabeth:
It's a succulent.
It grows like a weed
and requires minimal effort.
My kind of plant.
Thank you.
[ Laughs ]
Mother-in-law's tongue--
that's what it's called.
[ Laughs ]
It's so strange being
here in your house--
y-your mom's house.
This is, uh...
It's what?
[ Sighs ]
I don't know.
I was always afraid
that if I left Maurice,
I'd be lost, lonely.
You're not.
No, I'm not.
Mm.
I don't miss him.
And I'm not talking about
his temper or his moods.
I don't miss him.
- Mm.
- His presence.
Mm.
[ Sighs ]
The kids are having
a harder time.
Aw.
Teddy started wetting the bed.
Ooh.
I know.
It's breaking my heart.
But Maurice has been
great about it.
- Staying in their lives.
- Yeah.
He talks to the kids
every night.
I hear them on the phone--
two hours at least.
One foot in front
of the other, you know.
Yeah.
Coach bag? Nice.
I know.
Do you like it?
Fancy.
[ Laughs ]
Guess what.
Northrop has a plant
10 miles from here.
You're kidding me.
No.
I put in for a transfer.
Oh, I would love to put
that 50-mile commute to bed.
Yeah.
And since I have
security clearance,
if something comes up, my name
goes to the top of the list.
Fingers crossed.
That'd be great.
I'm on a roll.
Plus, I got
my lucky charm-- you.
[ Laughs ]
[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ]
Cheers.

Hmm?

Budem.
Da, budem.
This?
Your taste is ridiculous, dad.
Is it?
You think so?
[ Laughs ]
Okay. All right.
Okay.
How about...
Okay, fashion queen,
you pick one.
Okay.
[ Clicks tongue ]
[ Sighs ]
I've got it.
I have got it.
Yeah. Try it on.
Dad, this is way too--
Just try it on.
I'll buy you the dress.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
- Really?
- Of course.
Thanks, dad.
You're welcome.
[ Sighs ]
[ Dog barking in distance ]
Hey, remember that woman
at the EST thing? Tori?
Oh, the one who had all
those horrible problems
with her father?
Yeah.
She called the FBI...
and asked for me.
As in called called?
Asked me out.
[ Chuckles ]
I guess women do that now.
Est women do that.
[ Laughs ]
They're being themselves.
I thought the whole point
of going to EST
was to get Sandra back.
Yeah.
Doesn't look like
that's happening.
Ah.
Do you have any idea
how long it's been
since I've been on a date?
I don't-- I don't know
what we would talk about.
I-I couldn't talk to Sandra,
and I lived with her.
How's Matthew dealing
with all this?
He pretty much hates me.
You know what you should do?
What?
Spend time alone with him
now that you have the chance.
'Cause you get him away
from the other parent,
and...
[Sighs]
they're just a whole
different person one-on-one.
Yeah?
Yeah. And without--
without that other--
whatever you want to
call it-- influence.
You want to know the truth?
I don't get Matthew.
H-he's--
he's a complete mystery to me.
All the people
I've investigated, arrested,
but, man, there's nothing
like a teenage boy.
Right, but when he was a kid...
Oh, it was better, sure.
We did stuff together.
You know,
go to a Cardinals game.
Watch TV.
Yeah.
You know, I went away
undercover for three years.
Wow.
And when I came back, I thought,
you know,
he was gonna be so happy
to see me, like--
like I pictured him
all the time
when I was away.
You should bring
your EST lady here for dinner.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Take the pressure off.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Thanks.
[ Tools clanging,
indistinct talking on radio ]
[ Groaning ]
[ Scrubbing ]
7:30.
They're going to a play.
Good.
You'll get in there and see
what you have to work with.
- [ Sighs ]
- [ Spray bottle hissing ]
What I have to work with is
a hormonal 15-year-old girl.
I saw the baptism dress.
Did you like it?
What are you doing, Philip?
I took my daughter
to buy a dress.
You seem to suddenly think
this baptism is a good idea.
You're the one who's been
singing with the choir.
Your girl, Kimberly--
she has no idea her father's
in the CIA, does she?
Look how she wound up.
Don't say it's the same.
And don't call her
"My girl."
[ Door opens, closes ]
I don't have anything for you.
That's disappointing.
Look, if there was
something to know,
I would have found it out.
I can't get anything.
I think there's something
to get.
Yeah?
What's more likely--
Zinaida being a double agent
or you trying to set me up?
You're still in love with her.
I can't help you.
Wait.
You love her.
I want to save her.
You love her, too!
I want to make it right.
This defector
is our only lever.
Believe me or don't believe me,
but how much time
does Nina have?
So, what is this?
Blue cheese.
Not a fan
of the stinky cheeses.
It's the most expensive
cheese I could find.
Kind of an acquired taste.
[ Both laugh ]
I wanted to celebrate my good
luck with my good friend.
I got a call from Northrop.
There's an opening
in fuselage assembly--
same thing I do now,
except in this time zone.
So, you got it?
I got it.
[ Laughs ]
15-minute commute,
door-to-door!
- That is so great.
- [ Laughs ]
What do say we dump
the stinky cheese
and go to Manelli's
to celebrate?
Did you win the lottery?
[ Laughs ]
New clothes,
new bag, Manelli's.
[ Laughs ]
What?
This is really
cone of silence, though.
Okay.
So, I met this guy.
Why didn't you say so?
I didn't want to say something
until there was something to say.
Is there something to say?
- No.
- [ Laughs ]
Not like that.
Not like that.
Um...
So, he takes me out, and
just-- he asks me questions.
Questions?
Yeah, you know,
just stuff about work,
stuff we're doing
at General Dynamics,
and he pays me for it.
Hmm.
He works for this
consulting firm, and they--
I guess they help out
all the defense contractors.
They help them with their bids,
and I don't know really
what it is, but he's nice.
Is he cute?
Yeah.
He's gonna want more.
What, sex?
God, I hope so.
[ Both laugh ]
Be careful, Chelle.
I'm not kidding.
- Mm.
- Look at me.
I'm not kidding.
You be careful.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Naughty.
[ Both laugh ]
Ooh.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
[ Laughs ]
Hello.
Hi.
The Nicaraguans are very happy
about the Boland Amendment.
The Centre wanted you to know.
I'll tell Elizabeth.
I know you lost a comrade.
Mm-hmm.
She felt close to Lucia.
She took it hard.
Elizabeth takes things hard.
I know that.
For your friend Kimberly.
[ Sniffs ]
Afghani?
Appropriately enough.
Very strong.
It's one of the ironies
of this work
that so many lives depend upon
one man's relationship
with an adolescent girl.
[ Sighs ]
You don't like that.
She's 15 years old.
Do you?
I don't think you can
reliably run her
any other way--
long-term.
- Why don't you let me see about that?
- Of course.
You are the one in the field,
and you're the best.
There's nobody better.
But Paige, Kimberly,
Martha with her baby fever--
that's a lot for anyone.
I can imagine it might be
confusing, even for you.
I'm not confused.
"Confused" is the wrong word.
It's difficult
for all of us sometimes
to keep in mind
that when people's lives
intersect with our operations,
it's the operation
that's crucial.
And when the person
involved is so young...
You have a conscience, Philip.
There's nothing wrong
with that.
But conscience
can be dangerous.
[ Door opens, closes ]
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, I'm a little bit country.
[ Laughs ]
They're actually almost cute.
Come in.
Nice place.
It's all my stepmom.
She's into decor,
but I never let her
into my room.
[ Chuckles ]
You want to see it?
Sure.
Okay.
[ Floorboards creaking ]
Welcome to my world.
Nice.
Hey, look what I brought.
[ Sniffs ]
Wow.
[ Laughs ]
Doesn't even smell like...
Pizza?
[ Laughs ]
Yeah.
So, you spend all your time
trying to convince them
to vote the way that
the companies want them to vote?
Yeah, pretty much.
[ Laughs ]
Wow.
Yeah, you definitely
need a better life.
That's why I'm hanging out
with you.
Or maybe I should be working with
your dad in the State Department.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, think again.
Do you even know
what division he's in?
[ Inhales deeply ]
Agriculture.
It's so boring.
He must know a lot about soil.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, no, really, he does.
We used to have this garden
when my mother was still alive.
I mean, my--
my real mom.
[ Chuckles ]
Right out there.
He showed us
how to plant seeds,
and all different depths,
and my brother and sister,
when they were still around,
we would just, like, water
and weed and all that stuff.
[ Chuckles ]
Carrots, squash,
these little, tiny,
like, watermelon,
crappy watermelons,
like the size of a rubber ball.
And me and my dad,
we had these two rakes.
There was a big one,
and there was a little one.
And he would go rake
on one side,
and I would rake on the other,
and we would just, like,
meet in the middle.
Is it still out there?
The garden?
No.
It's a lawn now.
My stepmom-- she, uh...
[ Chuckles ]
She s-said it looked
messy, so...
[ Sighs ]
She doesn't cook
or anything, you know.
She's always, like, out.
I mean, they're both gone,
I mean, a lot.
You know, she's on like
30 different foundations.
She's never here, and my dad--
I don't know where he is.
[ Sighs ]
You know, if you told me
that he had another
family somewhere,
I would say, "Okay, yeah, great.
That explains it."
Hey, don't bogart that joint.
- You should be careful. It's strong.
- Hmm.
I can handle it.
[ Exhales sharply ]
I have the greatest idea.
[ Popcorn popping ]
Rocky road!
- Oh.
- Can I?
Yeah, uh, just take--
take two spoons.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Yes, please.
[ Laughs ]
I love any kind of ice cream
with stuff in it, you know.
The crunch.
Mm!
Let's put popcorn in it.
Open it.
It's hot.
No, it's not.
[ Chuckles ]
Oh.
Ohh! Oh! Oh!
Oh, that's hot.
[ Chuckles ]
Oh!
See, dumbo?
You know what this means?
- War.
- [ Squeals ]
Just got real--
[ Laughs ]
That burned my face.
[ Squealing ]
Aah!
Ah!
- I'll take you down a rocky road!
- [ Laughs ]
- It burns! In your face!
- Aah!
Announcer: It's a low-driving
kick that lands at the 40.
[ Soft music plays ]
Man:
From the top of the volcano,
in a fiery burst
of smoke and ash,
but these explosions
in which the magma is...
I'm so stoned.
...are only the most...
I need a bathroom.
Don't move.
I remember where it is.
...is one in which lava pours
from inside the volcano
out onto the ground,
forming a familiar molten river
known as a lava flow.
Gradually, that lava...
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
[ Speaking indistinctly]
...the most powerful
nuclear detonation in history.
More than 36,000 people died
as the result of the eruption.

- [ Gasps ]
[ Gasps ]
Call me.
[ Dog barking in distance ]
[ Door opens ]
How'd it go?
He has a briefcase that he takes
to the office every day.
Good.
So next time you're there,
you'll put the bug in?
Yep.
[ Sighs ]
Anything else?
Her parents came home.
So I had to run...
like a teenager.
The whole thing was just...
[ Chuckles ]
Oh, God.
I don't know.
Are you stoned?
[ Sighs ]
I'm okay.
[ Sighs ]
Do you think about
when we learned to do this?
No.
It must be different for a man.
I don't know.
You had to find it
in your mind somewhere.
[ Bed rattling ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
They kept telling us we had
to make it real to ourselves.
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ]
Is that what you do
with Martha?
I guess.
[ Sighs ]
How do you feel about Kimberly?
[ Sighs ]
I feel bad for Kimberly.
I haven't slept with her, no.
Should I sleep with her?
I don't know.
No, honestly.
I'm asking you.
Honestly, I don't know.
[ Sighs ]
Do you have to make it real
with me?
Sometimes.
Not now.
The Americans...
The Afghan people
never wanted this Communism.
The rest of the world
must know this.
I risk my life to come here.
Something doesn't feel right
to me about Zinaida.
She's gonna meet senators,
cabinet members.
She could meet the President.
If, by some wild chance,
there is something here,
we need to know.
Philip: I was going over

Nine people are getting

and what I really want this year
is to get baptized.

I'm coming!
- Wait for me!
- Let's play princesses!
Go get them.
[ Children shouting playfully,
laughter ]
- Cute.
- [ Laughing ] Oh, I know.
Yeah.
My kids haven't played
like this in a long time.
You weren't at
the meeting again.
I'll get there.
You're white-knuckling it.
You know that doesn't work.
You need the meetings
and the support right now.
[ Sighs ]
When someone falls
like Maurice,
hanging on doesn't always help,
because then you're
gonna fall, too.
Yeah, so I should
just let him go?
I think you need a break.
Listen, my mom has this place.
She just moved
into a nursing home.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
The house is completely empty.
Why don't you go
stay there for a while,
get yourself together?
[ Scoffs ]
I can't do that.
Why not?
It's 50 miles from here.
It's a great neighborhood,
great schools.
It'll give you a chance
to get back on your feet,
be with the kids.
Come on. How long
are they gonna sleep
on your sister's floor?
See how you do without Maurice,
even for a few weeks.
It'll also give him
a chance to turn things around.
You could still come back here,
drive to work.
You can't live like this, Lisa.
Let me help you out.
I'd like to.
[ Coughs ]
[ Sniffles ]
You asked what I can do
to help her.
Well, I have an idea.
I think your defector
isn't a defector.
Zinaida Preobrazhenskaya?
I think she just might be
a Russian spy.
[ Sighs ]
You're out of your mind.
If I can prove it,
we'll arrest her.
Then there's a good chance
my government can make a trade.
For Nina.
The FBI will go to bat for her.
She was our asset.
They won't leave her to rot in
the gulag if they have a choice.
Prisoner exchange.
[ Sighs ]
You got something better?
[ Sighs ]
I know what you're thinking.
"Maybe he's trying to trap me
the way I trapped him."
That makes sense.
But you know what, Oleg?
I don't care enough about you
to go to all that trouble.
So, what do you know
about Zinaida?
Nothing.
Okay.
[ Sighs ]
I'm being honest.
If Zinaida is one of ours...
[Sniffs]
I don't know.
Well, this is what I got.
You say you want to help her?
Find out.
When you land, take a week,
be in touch with us next Friday.
Listen, you got what
you needed from me.
Leave me alone now.
I can't do that.
I don't belong to you.
I didn't say that.
I helped you.
I got you to the Afghan group.
Yousaf, this isn't about me.
This is about war
and peace for all of us.
So, when you get back,
start to make peace
with the fundamentalist factions
in ISI.
[ Scoffs ]
Make peace?
Look at the people
you're fighting with.
Just today, did you hear?
10 of your soldiers
flayed alive
and left in the sun to rot.
You're fighting barbarians.
Us now. You next.
And maybe sooner than you think.
It's happening now.
The fundamentalists
are everywhere in Pakistan.
Our officers
are growing their beards.
We had our assessments.
The colonel added
a new question--
"How religious are you,
scale of 1 to 10?"
I said 5--
already a lie.
Most of the other division heads
said 10.
Next time...
say 10, Yousaf.
Announcer: [ British accent ]
The confirmed death toll
now stands
at 64 Soviet soldiers
and 112 Afghan army soldiers.
But reports of fuel

in the Salang tunnel indicate
the toll could go much higher.

[ Radio shuts off ]
You look worried.
[ Sighs ]
Martha took me to a foster-care
place to look at kids.
[ Sighs ]
They're so little.
Remember when walking
without falling on their faces
was a big deal?
Remember Henry?
[ Laughs ]
Paige was so graceful.
Paige?
No, she wasn't.
Yes, she was.
Philip, don't you remember
that whole summer
she kept falling down?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
The summer of skinned knees.
I could almost do it
if it keep Martha on track.
Where are you with Kimberly?
I'm seeing her tomorrow night,
so I should be
in the house soon.
What's she like?
Young.
I have to go make dinner.
Henry: But John has
the biggest vocabulary.
He's always like, "Albeit."
I'm like, "What?"
[ Stan laughs ]
You know, I still don't know
what that means-- "Albeit."
What grown-up even says
"Albeit," right?
Well, you should meet
our special agent in charge.
- Is that your boss?
- Yep.
No matter how old you get,
you're still working
for the man.
[ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]
So, how's Mrs. Beeman?
Fine. She's great.
May I please change
the subject?
- Yeah.
Philip: - Yeah.
Um, I'd like to buy
a dress for my baptism.
Oh, hey, this baptism--
I think that's great.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Um, so, about the dress--
I don't need anything fancy.
I'll use my own money, but
I just need someone to take me.
- Don't you have a dress--
- I can take you.
You have
the Pacific Tours seminar, so...
I can take her to buy a dress.

Thank you.

Mother-in-law's tongue--

[ Laughs ]
It's so strange being
here in your house--
y-your mom's house.
This is, uh...
It's what?
[ Sighs ]
I don't know.
I was always afraid
that if I left Maurice,
I'd be lost, lonely.
You're not.
No, I'm not.
Mm.
I don't miss him.
And I'm not talking about
his temper or his moods.
I don't miss him.
- Mm.
- His presence.
Mm.
[ Sighs ]
The kids are having
a harder time.
Aw.
Teddy started wetting the bed.
Ooh.
I know.
It's breaking my heart.
But Maurice has been
great about it.
- Staying in their lives.
- Yeah.
He talks to the kids
every night.
I hear them on the phone--
two hours at least.
One foot in front
of the other, you know.
Yeah.
Coach bag? Nice.
I know.
Do you like it?
Fancy.
[ Laughs ]
Guess what.
Northrop has a plant
10 miles from here.
You're kidding me.
No.
I put in for a transfer.
Oh, I would love to put
that 50-mile commute to bed.
Yeah.
And since I have
security clearance,
if something comes up, my name
goes to the top of the list.
Fingers crossed.
That'd be great.

Okay. All right.

How about...
Okay, fashion queen,
you pick one.
Okay.
[ Clicks tongue ]
[ Sighs ]
I've got it.
I have got it.
Yeah. Try it on.
Dad, this is way too--
Just try it on.
I'll buy you the dress.

- Of course.
Thanks, dad.
You're welcome.
[ Sighs ]
[ Dog barking in distance ]
Hey, remember that woman
at the EST thing? Tori?
Oh, the one who had all
those horrible problems
with her father?
Yeah.
She called the FBI...
and asked for me.
As in called called?
Asked me out.
[ Chuckles ]
I guess women do that now.
Est women do that.
[ Laughs ]
They're being themselves.
I thought the whole point
of going to EST
was to get Sandra back.
Yeah.
Doesn't look like
that's happening.
Ah.
Do you have any idea
how long it's been
since I've been on a date?
I don't-- I don't know
what we would talk about.
I-I couldn't talk to Sandra,
and I lived with her.
How's Matthew dealing
with all this?
He pretty much hates me.
You know what you should do?
What?
Spend time alone with him
now that you have the chance.
'Cause you get him away
from the other parent,
and...
[Sighs]
they're just a whole
different person one-on-one.
Yeah?
Yeah. And without--
without that other--
whatever you want to
call it-- influence.
You want to know the truth?
I don't get Matthew.
H-he's--
he's a complete mystery to me.
All the people
I've investigated, arrested,
but, man, there's nothing
like a teenage boy.
Right, but when he was a kid...
Oh, it was better, sure.
We did stuff together.
You know,
go to a Cardinals game.
Watch TV.
Yeah.
You know, I went away
undercover for three years.
Wow.
And when I came back, I thought,
you know,
he was gonna be so happy
to see me, like--
like I pictured him
all the time
when I was away.
You should bring
your EST lady here for dinner.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Take the pressure off.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Thanks.

Good.
You'll get in there and see
what you have to work with.
- [ Sighs ]
- [ Spray bottle hissing ]
What I have to work with is
a hormonal 15-year-old girl.
I saw the baptism dress.
Did you like it?
What are you doing, Philip?
I took my daughter
to buy a dress.
You seem to suddenly think
this baptism is a good idea.
You're the one who's been
singing with the choir.
Your girl, Kimberly--
she has no idea her father's
in the CIA, does she?
Look how she wound up.
Don't say it's the same.
And don't call her
"My girl."
[ Door opens, closes ]
I don't have anything for you.
That's disappointing.
Look, if there was
something to know,
I would have found it out.
I can't get anything.
I think there's something
to get.
Yeah?
What's more likely--
Zinaida being a double agent
or you trying to set me up?
You're still in love with her.
I can't help you.
Wait.
You love her.
I want to save her.
You love her, too!
I want to make it right.
This defector
is our only lever.
Believe me or don't believe me,
but how much time
does Nina have?
So, what is this?
Blue cheese.
Not a fan
of the stinky cheeses.
It's the most expensive
cheese I could find.
Kind of an acquired taste.
[ Both laugh ]
I wanted to celebrate my good
luck with my good friend.
I got a call from Northrop.
There's an opening
in fuselage assembly--
same thing I do now,
except in this time zone.
So, you got it?
I got it.
[ Laughs ]
15-minute commute,
door-to-door!
- That is so great.
- [ Laughs ]
What do say we dump
the stinky cheese
and go to Manelli's
to celebrate?
Did you win the lottery?
[ Laughs ]
New clothes,
new bag, Manelli's.
[ Laughs ]
What?
This is really
cone of silence, though.
Okay.
So, I met this guy.
Why didn't you say so?
I didn't want to say something
until there was something to say.
Is there something to say?
- No.
- [ Laughs ]
Not like that.
Not like that.
Um...
So, he takes me out, and
just-- he asks me questions.
Questions?
Yeah, you know,
just stuff about work,
stuff we're doing
at General Dynamics,
and he pays me for it.
Hmm.
He works for this
consulting firm, and they--
I guess they help out
all the defense contractors.
They help them with their bids,
and I don't know really
what it is, but he's nice.
Is he cute?
Yeah.
He's gonna want more.
What, sex?
God, I hope so.
[ Both laugh ]
Be careful, Chelle.
I'm not kidding.
- Mm.
- Look at me.
I'm not kidding.
You be careful.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Naughty.
[ Both laugh ]
Ooh.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
[ Laughs ]
Hello.
Hi.
The Nicaraguans are very happy
about the Boland Amendment.
The Centre wanted you to know.
I'll tell Elizabeth.
I know you lost a comrade.
Mm-hmm.
She felt close to Lucia.
She took it hard.
Elizabeth takes things hard.
I know that.
For your friend Kimberly.
[ Sniffs ]
Afghani?
Appropriately enough.
Very strong.
It's one of the ironies
of this work
that so many lives depend upon
one man's relationship
with an adolescent girl.
[ Sighs ]
You don't like that.
She's 15 years old.
Do you?
I don't think you can
reliably run her
any other way--
long-term.
- Why don't you let me see about that?
- Of course.
You are the one in the field,
and you're the best.
There's nobody better.
But Paige, Kimberly,
Martha with her baby fever--
that's a lot for anyone.
I can imagine it might be
confusing, even for you.
I'm not confused.
"Confused" is the wrong word.
It's difficult
for all of us sometimes
to keep in mind
that when people's lives
intersect with our operations,
it's the operation
that's crucial.
And when the person
involved is so young...
You have a conscience, Philip.
There's nothing wrong
with that.
But conscience
can be dangerous.
[ Door opens, closes ]
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, I'm a little bit country.
[ Laughs ]
They're actually almost cute.
Come in.
Nice place.
It's all my stepmom.
She's into decor,
but I never let her
into my room.
[ Chuckles ]
You want to see it?
Sure.
Okay.
[ Floorboards creaking ]
Welcome to my world.
Nice.
Hey, look what I brought.
[ Sniffs ]
Wow.
[ Laughs ]
Doesn't even smell like...
Pizza?
[ Laughs ]
Yeah.
So, you spend all your time
trying to convince them
to vote the way that
the companies want them to vote?
Yeah, pretty much.
[ Laughs ]
Wow.
Yeah, you definitely
need a better life.
That's why I'm hanging out
with you.
Or maybe I should be working with
your dad in the State Department.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, think again.
Do you even know
what division he's in?
[ Inhales deeply ]
Agriculture.
It's so boring.
He must know a lot about soil.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, no, really, he does.
We used to have this garden
when my mother was still alive.
I mean, my--
my real mom.
[ Chuckles ]
Right out there.
He showed us
how to plant seeds,
and all different depths,
and my brother and sister,
when they were still around,
we would just, like, water
and weed and all that stuff.
[ Chuckles ]
Carrots, squash,
these little, tiny,
like, watermelon,
crappy watermelons,
like the size of a rubber ball.
And me and my dad,
we had these two rakes.
There was a big one,
and there was a little one.
And he would go rake
on one side,
and I would rake on the other,
and we would just, like,
meet in the middle.
Is it still out there?
The garden?
No.
It's a lawn now.
My stepmom-- she, uh...
[ Chuckles ]
She s-said it looked
messy, so...
[ Sighs ]
She doesn't cook
or anything, you know.
She's always, like, out.
I mean, they're both gone,
I mean, a lot.
You know, she's on like
30 different foundations.
She's never here, and my dad--
I don't know where he is.
[ Sighs ]
You know, if you told me
that he had another
family somewhere,
I would say, "Okay, yeah, great.
That explains it."
Hey, don't bogart that joint.
- You should be careful. It's strong.
- Hmm.
I can handle it.
[ Exhales sharply ]
I have the greatest idea.
[ Popcorn popping ]
Rocky road!
- Oh.
- Can I?
Yeah, uh, just take--
take two spoons.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Yes, please.
[ Laughs ]
I love any kind of ice cream
with stuff in it, you know.
The crunch.
Mm!
Let's put popcorn in it.
Open it.
It's hot.
No, it's not.
[ Chuckles ]
Oh.
Ohh! Oh! Oh!
Oh, that's hot.
[ Chuckles ]
Oh!
See, dumbo?
You know what this means?
- War.
- [ Squeals ]
Just got real--
[ Laughs ]
That burned my face.
[ Squealing ]
Aah!
Ah!

- [ Laughs ]
- It burns! In your face!
- Aah!

[ Sighs ]
I feel bad for Kimberly.
I haven't slept with her, no.
Should I sleep with her?
I don't know.
No, honestly.
I'm asking you.
Honestly, I don't know.

Do you have to make it real
with me?
Sometimes.
Not now.
