The Americans (2013–2018): Season 6, Episode 5 - The Great Patriotic War - full transcript

As the summit fast approaches, Elizabeth enlists Philip's help for a mission that could yield game-changing intel.

Previously on
The Americans...

Do our people ever use sex
to get information?

This guy Brian
is an intern

for a congressman
on the Armed Services Committee.

- Forget about this intern...
- What? Why?

You're not ready
to go after a source.

Not by a long shot.

Those relationships could

turn into
something different.

You get
very close to people.

Dad doesn't work
at the State Department.



He works for the CIA.

You need to keep
getting the recordings.

But other than that...

I think
you should just stop.

Latest Breland recording.

They kept talking about
"our guy inside."

They have
a human source.

But could be someone
on the negotiating team.

Mr. and Mrs. Teacup
are giving everybody a headache.

Relocation just called.
They want us back in there.

Please, Stan.

If we go,
we go together.

One of our couriers
went over to the Americans.

He has to be dealt with.



We're looking for a man

who was probably just moved
into a safehouse.

Soviet.

Hopefully, this FBI agent
will lead us there.

- Yeah.
- Here you go, sir.

Glad you're here.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Brought a little treat.

Thank you.

So...

first we move here,
I didn't know anyone.

And now
we go to Oklahoma.

I never heard about
this place-- Enid.

You'll be protected there.

Safe.
That's the point.

It's not good
for my boy.

Kids adjust.

We're gonna
give you money,

we're gonna help you
find a job.

And what about Gennadi?

Are you gonna send him
to Oklahoma, too?

Is that
what you want?

Gennadi thinks
you're his friend.

His only friend
in America.

I like Gennadi.

And Ilia
talks about him a lot.

Maybe we go
somewhere new...

We both there...

Maybe it's...

right for Ilia.

That's good to hear,
Sofia.

Fyodor Nesterenko.

A member
of our negotiating team.

Who's he with?

This is David Morrison,

a high-level staffer
in Sam Nunn's office,

on the right.

And this...

this is Edward Tabone,

an officer in the CIA's
Soviet Division.

Not too many reasons someone
on our negotiating team

would be meeting
in private

with a CIA officer
in a hotel room.

Could be the "inside guy"
Breland was talking about.

Or, maybe he doesn't know
Tabone's in the CIA.

I've got
a bad feeling.

When do we get
the next Breland tape?

Not until Christmas.

Why so long?

Kimmy's going to Europe
for Thanksgiving break.

If Nesterenko's bad,
we need to know now.

Before the Summit.

It won't be
the first time

we have to deal with
something like this.

This is worse.

The Mexico thing.

I have to find out
what's going on here.

All right.

And our courier?

Still looking.

Ah, hello, dear.

- Hi.
- How are you?

Good.

- Hey, Mom.
- Hi, honey.

What's on
the agenda for today?

The Great Patriotic War.

Which one was that?

World War Two.

You probably think
the Americans

defeated the Nazis
at Normandy.

The truth is,

the Germans began
to lose the war at Stalingrad.

It was
the Red Army

that defeated almost all
of Hitler's troops.

Do you know how many Americans
died in the War?

Not really.

400,000.

We lost 27 million.

I have something
to show you.

Stalingrad.

That building--

I was here.

My youngest brother
was killed there.

I lost
most of my family.

My parents,

three of
my brothers,

my two sisters.

- See you in a bit.
- All right.

And he's so good
with the face-off here.

And the face-off--
Detroit wins.

Detroit is coming out
of the zone here.

Sure, thanks, thanks.

Over to Probert.

Probert entering into
the Washington zone.

He passes it off to Yzerman.

Yzerman on the left wing.

He passes...

He moves in, takes the shot,
and scores!

Yes!

He's all over with the elbow,

and he manages to clear
the puck out of the zone,

allowing a line change
for both teams.

Do you remember

when you had
the World War Two module

in ninth grade?

Was that ninth grade?

I'd read the sections
in your textbook.

They barely mentioned
the Soviet Union.

I wanted to tear that bullshit
they were teaching you

right out
of your head

and shove the truth
right in there.

Just about
what really happened--

how we suffered.

How we died.

How we won.

You know that guy I was
telling you about, Brian?

- The intern.
- I saw him at that party.

We were talking,
and he said a few things

about the new
Defense Department budget--

his congressman's
working on it--

do you want to know
what he said?

I thought you weren't gonna go
to that party.

I didn't say that.

You shouldn't talk to him
about that stuff.

Uh, he brings it up.

What am I supposed to do?
Not listen?

Change the topic.

Act like
you're not interested.

If you want
to date him.

You can control
the conversation.

And if you can't,
don't have the conversation.

Walk away.

I don't-- I don't know why
you don't want to know.

You wouldn't believe what
these interns have access to.

He's walking around
with classified documents.

He said he could show them to me
if I met him for lunch.

Sounds like you made
quite an impression.

What's that
supposed to mean?

It means
I don't want you to do this.

Jesus, Mom,
I'm not doing anything.

It sounds like
you are.

Patience.

It's what struck me the most,
learning about Coors beer.

From the malting
to the brewing, aging--

the whole process.

They never hurry.

It takes about twice...

Hey.
I got to head out.

Yeah, they do take their time.

But you can taste
the difference right here.

A beer that's a little
less heavy, never bitter.

See ya.

You going to bed?

I can go downstairs.

No,
it's all right.

I can't sleep yet.

We told Paige
about the War...

how many people
we lost.

What'd she say?

I think...

she got it.

Making any progress?

I'm trying.

A lot more to do tonight?

- Morning.
- Hey.

Sleep okay?

Not really.

- You?
- Yeah.

Good.
First time in a while.

- I wonder why.
- Yeah.

Coffee?

Things aren't going well
with the Summit.

How?

One of our negotiators
has been secretly meeting

with a CIA officer
in the Soviet Division.

Jesus.

We've got to find out
what he's saying.

I think
there might be a way,

but I'd need
your help.

You'd have to meet Kimmy
in Greece.

You'd bring her over
to Bulgaria.

We would pick her up with drugs
and hold her.

I'd go to Breland, say,
"We have your daughter.

Do you want her to spend
20 years in a Bulgarian prison,

or...

tell me
what I need to know?"

There has to be
another way.

Breland is
all we've got.

Everything that
I have been working on--

the Summit... our security...
everything.

It all comes down
to this.

All you'd have to do
is go on a trip.

I know.

I'm sorry.

It's just,
it's too important.

She's just a kid.

Not anymore.

He'll tell you anything
to get his daughter back.

We'll give him
a lie detector test.

You don't think
he can beat that?

He won't risk it.

And what if he says no?
What then?

She rots
in a Bulgarian prison?

That won't happen.

Breland will cave.

She'll be there
less than 24 hours,

and then...
that's it.

You're done with Breland,
done with her.

Done with all of it,
for good.

Philip...

I haven't asked
for much.

Anything, really.

But I need this one.

♪ I never, ever
want to say goodbye ♪

♪ I never, ever
want to say goodbye ♪

- Oh!
- Oh, hit the button!

That button's stuck.

Come on. Unh-unh. No, man.

Off the rim, off the rim! Yes!

Watch this.

You get
a hundred thousand, hon,

- I'm gonna buy you college
girls a drink. - What?

- Oh! Damn it!
- Aww...

I'm so sorry.
I threw you off.

I'm gonna buy you
a drink anyways.

Gin and tonic.

Girls?

I've got a bio-chem exam
in the morning.

Yeah, I'm getting ready
to crash.

Okay.

I'm sorry.
I have to start studying.

I'm fine.

We'll see you later.

He's cute.

We should do this
more often.

You should come to Michigan
for business more often.

Turns out I have a meeting
in Rome when, uh--

when you're in Greece,
so I could come fly over.

Or not.

It's just...

my friends and I kind of have
a crazy schedule, and...

And we're doing
all these tours--

Totally get it.

It's not that
I don't want to see you...

No, no, I know.

I mean, I'll see you
when I come back home, right?

Definitely.

Wow.
Quite the gent.

We aim to please.

Excuse me--

- You have a light?
- Yeah, sure.

Hey!

Just milk and cheese.

I didn't
see you outside.

Bathroom break.

- Wait for me next time.
- Okay, yeah.

Thanks.

Yo, so get this.

He pushes me
out of the plane,

and-- and I'm like...

- Oh my god...
- Yeah, I know.

I look like one of them
cartoon characters

who, you know, suddenly realizes
they're falling in mid-air.

I would just-- I would die.

Well, somehow,
I managed to pull the cord,

and my body
jerks up,

and everything
just slows down.

And I look around,

and it is--
it's really beautiful.

And the mountains,
the horizon.

Must have been amazing
to see the world like that.

Yeah. It was.

You said it was like getting
jerked off for the first time.

- Shut the hell up, man.
- What?

That's what you said.
You know, like, you're scared

'cause you don't know
what to expect,

and then you just--

Relax, you know?

It's like getting yanked
by a beautiful girl

for the first time.

All right.
Well...

Hey, don't listen to him.

Uh, he don't got the advantage
of learning good manners

at a place
like Georgetown.

- I go to George Washington.
- Shit.

- Come on, sweetheart.
- No, no, hey, hey, hey.

D-Don't leave.
H-He's just drunk.

Apologize, Tony.

You're not even that hot, anyways.

You know what?
To hell with her, Vince.

There's plenty of other ass
in here.

Okay.

Hey, Vince, if you ever want
to get laid again,

get a better wingman.

Have a great night,
guys.

Wait,
what did you say?

Whoa, whoa, wait.
What did you say, bitch?

Hey! Hey!

- What the fuck?!
- Piece of shit.

Paige!

Yo, Paige!

Hey.
Are you okay--

Shit.

Thanks
for dinner, Jim.

Thanks for
turning me on to fattoush.

And mujadarra.

Oh, fattoush
and mujadarra.

Hey. Um...

What?

I'm proud of you.

- Yeah?
- Yes.

You've really grown into
a smart, interesting...

woman.

Is that a really corny thing to say?

Mm.
Only a little.

Truth is,
I'm a little...

intimidated by you.

- What?
- Yeah.

Soon,
you'll get bored,

and you'll never
talk to me again.

I still talk to you,
don't I?

Even though I stopped
smoking weed like two years ago.

Oh, yeah.
That was probably a good idea.

We're friends, Jim.

Always.

And-- And I'll come home
for Christmas break.

Okay.

If you change your mind
about Greece,

the offer still stands.

Okay.

What?

I'm sorry.
Is that out of line?

No.

I-I liked it.

What time
will you be home?

Uh,
I'm not sure.

Should I make dinner plans
or wait for you?

Dinner plans?

What,
you got a date?

Maybe.

I'll try to be home
by eight.

Then I'll cancel
my date.

Well,
thank you.

Hey,
I've been thinking.

Even though
you can't be an agent,

there are other jobs
at the Bureau,

with no age limit
for new hires.

Like?

Personnel.

I think an applicant
with your experience

would be pretty attractive
to them.

They don't get
a lot of high-level people

from the private sector.

I'd have to
take a pay cut.

Probably.

Thanks.
I'll think about it.

Sure.

Stop looking at
the drawing.

Look at the vase.

- But it-- I can't get it to--
- Just look--

- Okay.
- Sit down.

Just...

Just let me see your--
see your other ones.

Is this it?

I don't have
much free time.

Free time...

kind of
a funny phrase.

Is that
what you call this...

Free time?

There should be dozens
of drawings in here.

All right.

- Aah!
- Do you want some morphine?

No, I want you to do
your goddamn homework.

You got to try.
You got to try.

There's someone in there
who knows how to see.

But you have to
put in the time.

That's what
time is for.

No one...

No-- No one--

No one
understands--stands that.

Mm.

Look at the vase.
Draw.

Don't think.

Just draw.

Is it on?

Yep.

Good.

Were you
expecting Paige?

No.

Paige...

what're you doing here?

Can we spar?

Yeah.

I'll, uh,
change into some sweats

and meet you
in the garage.

What's going on?

Nothing.

These two assholes
started a fight with me.

What?

Where?

A bar.

I was with friends,
but they left.

Were you drinking?

It's a bar.
I wasn't drunk.

But could you have
just left?

I was leaving.
They were drunk.

One of them
put their hands on me.

That was
your only option?

There wasn't a bouncer
or the bartender?

No, Mom.
It happened fast.

Was the bar crowded?

Sort of.

How many people
saw the fight?

I don't know--

That's not an answer.

I didn't exactly
stop to count.

But this is a place
you've been to before?

Yes.
So they know you.

They know your name.

- Yes or no?
- Yes.

- You can't go back there.
- I won't.

- Ever.
- That's what I just said.

I know what you're saying,
but it happened.

I'm sorry.

Well, it can never happen again,
all right?

You can't draw attention
to yourself like that.

You have to find ways
out of situations

that don't risk
exposing yourself.

- What you're learning here
isn't for you to-- - Enough!

- Could you just stop yourself
for one second, please?! - No!

You know what? I'm not trying
to get on your back!

- I'm trying--
- I won't fight anyone again!

Ever. Unless
they're attacking me. I get it.

- Good. - But you need to get
off my ass sometimes--

You're not my boss
every second, every day--

you don't tell me who I should
and shouldn't sleep with.

- What?!
- If I like a guy, I'll do whatever I want.

Do you understand?

If you like them,
fine.

Why would I sleep with them
if I didn't like them?

What the hell was that?

I don't want
a big talk right now.

- Who are you telling her to sleep with?
- I am not.

I was telling her
not to sleep with someone.

- Not to do it.
- Who?

None of your business.

Some guy.

Brother of
a kid from school.

A congressional intern.

She says
she likes him...

but she's gotten a little bit
of information from him.

Nothing, really.

Well,
that's just great.

She sees a cute boy,

she's like
any other girl her age...

But maybe
you were right.

Maybe...

she's not
cut out for this.

That wasn't...

She can do it.

My point was always
that she shouldn't.

I gotta go.

- Where?
- To work.

_

_

Gennadi...?

Dad...

Can I come in?

Is, uh--
Is Gwen here?

- No.
- Mm.

Do you want anything?

No.

I, um...

I remember
that feeling--

of being able
to do that to people.

I've never
hit anyone before.

Except Mom,
in practice.

How was it?

I don't know.

I don't think

I'm the same
as you, Dad.

What--
What do you mean?

I know you're not into
what me and Mom do.

But I am.

Okay.

So come at me.

What?

I want to see
what you've learned.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

- We don't have pads or anything.
- Oh.

There aren't really pads
in the real world.

Well, do you want me to
like... pretend hit you?

No, I-I want you
to come at me and hit me,

and I'll be okay.

- Mnh!
- No. Real-- Really come at me.

Please.

Try again.

Not bad.

What are we doing today?

This first.

Seriously?

Always.

Before you go out drinking.

To coat your stomach.

So you don't
get sick.

And you'll get
less drunk.

You need to be
less drunk than they are.

Do you understand?

You need
to think clearly.

How much
can you drink with this?

Let's find out.

Coming.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Beer?

Like the old days?

- Mm.
- Like the pre-Renee days?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

I-Is...
everything okay with Renee?

Oh, yeah, yeah,
it's not that.

- It's just work stuff.
- Right.

It's this old case

from when I was working
against the Russians.

These two people--
they got killed.

That happens sometimes,
but it's always rough.

Getting to you?

Our job
was to protect them.

We were supposed to be
relocating them here.

Promised we'd
keep them safe.

Now they're killed,
in front of their own kid.

- Do you believe that?
- My god.

7 years old.

Finds his mom
and dad...

covered in blood.

- Hey. You okay?
- Yeah.

You know,
just sounds awful.

Yeah.

Yeah, I was just watching
the hockey game with this guy...

I'd only had sex with one man,
my husband,

and then he was killed
at the beginning of the War.

The next man I was with
was a Red Army soldier.

He promised me
half his rations...

You had sex with him for food?

I was starving.

Yeah,
and I had looks.

We ate rats.

Mom. How old were you when
you first started having sex?

Younger than you were.

- How much younger?
- Younger.

What?

There was this, um...

There was this boy...

Oh, God.

What?
Tell me!

Well,
my first time...

wasn't really
my first time.

We were, um--

We were living
in this apartment

with all
the other families,

and someone was always
coming in and out.

There was no privacy.

And he was so scared
that someone would walk in on us

that he didn't quite take
my underwear all the way off.

So he thought
he was doing something,

but, really, he was just
driving into that space

between me and the couch.

Oh, the poor boy

probably thought
he became a man that day.

Oh, to the boy!

To the boy.

- Hello?
- Hey, it's Jim.

Jim! All packed?

Well... listen.

The reason I'm, um--
I'm calling you is because...

Do you remember when you said
that I was stuck?

I was just talking,
Jim.

No, no,
you-- you were right.

I, um-- I can't meet you
in Greece, Kimmy.

Why?
What happened?

It's not--
It's not one thing.

It's just,
I-- I...

I can't do it.

Do what?

You and me,
our-- our-- our friendship...

You--
You need--

You need someone...

your own age.

I don't--
I don't care about that.

Well, I...

I really care
about you, Kimmy,

a lot, and I can't--
I-- I can't...

keep doing this,
not as--

not as friends,
n-not as anything.

I don't-- I don't understand
where this is...

coming from.

Just listen to me.

And it's--
it's important you hear me.

You're going to
be okay.

I am okay.

No, I know--
I-I know that.

I-I have to move on.

Something's wrong
with you.

I know,
but I'm, uh...

I'm trying my best.

Kimmy...

When, um...

When you're in Greece,
if-- if-- if, um...

If somebody
tries to get you

to go to a communist country
with them,

don't.

Okay?

Don't go.

What?

Go to Greece,
stay in Greece,

and then come home.

You hear me?

Goodbye, Kimmy.
