Previously on
"the americans"...

There's one move we could make.
We put a bug in gaad's office.

Martha:
I'm in love with you,

And I would do
anything for you.

Gabriel:
That student you followed
met with eugene veter

From south african
intelligence.

What's he doing
meeting with an undergraduate?

A lot of
the anti-apartheid movement

Is centered
on college campuses.

Paige:
What are we doing here, mom?

I had a good friend
who lived near here.

We all worked together
in the civil rights movement.

Your parents were
real activists.

If you tell her now,
this will all blow up.

But at least
she'll know who she is.

Gabriel: She has a son.
She says he's yours.

His name is misha.
He's 20 years old.

He's in the 345th
independent paratroop regiment

In faizabad.

Reporter: ...An unknown source
told the bbc

That government sources
reaffirmed

The soviet union's commitment
to the war.

At a recent party conference,

Officials condemned
the United States and pakistan

For the ongoing strife
in afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the united nations
continues to seek an end

To the three-year
military engagement there

As fighting rages on the fronts
in the panjshir valley.

The soviet spokesman
reiterated the belief

That revolution in afghanistan
could not be turned back

And, therefore,
any troop withdrawal

Was dependent on direct talks

Between afghanistan,
pakistan, and iran.

In other news,

Brush fires are raging
in the southern sta--

[ radio turns off ]

Hey.

What are you reading?

School?

No.

Mom told me
you guys did some stuff

With the civil rights
movement.

Yeah, a long time ago.

Not that long ago.

Not really.

I mean, how often do you see
a black person in falls church?

And when you do,
people get totally freaked out.

D.C. Still has ghettos, dad,
just like in the 1960s.

Yes.
Yeah, that's true.

Mom took me
to kenilworth.

I mean, it's not like
I didn't know

Those sorts of neighborhoods
existed,

But I'd just...
Never been to one before.

Mom took you
to kenilworth?

It wasn't scary.

Some of it was, but...

It was amazing --
walking with mom

And seeing people
live like that,

So close
to falls church.

Mom told me
about your friend gregory.

I can't believe
you had a friend

Who got killed
by the police.

You had a friend
that got killed by the police?

He was an activist.

Mom and dad
were activists.

What do you mean?

Civil rights activists.

What made you stop believing
in change, making things better?

I still believe
in those things.

You just get older.

And, uh...

Other things
become important.

And you realize there are a lot
of ways to make a difference.

Let's go. Come on.

Good night.

What's that?

The centre asked
for weekly updates on paige.

[ drawer opens ]

[ items clattering ]

What are you looking for?

Aspirin.
[ object clanks ]

[ clattering continues ]

There's a new bottle of aspirin
on the top shelf.

[ drawer slams ]

Why would you keep
an empty bottle of aspirin?

I don't see the logic.

Well, you finished it,
so next time, throw it out.

Paige told me
about your little field trip.

Good.

You didn't think
to mention it?

I told you
I was moving forward with paige.

I didn't think I needed to tell
you everything I did every day.

In the future, I would
appreciate it if you
didn't lie to me.

I did not lie to you.
Because believe it or not,

Paige does occasionally
talk to me.

I didn't lie to you.
I told you I was moving forward.

Is this
how it's gonna work?

I mean, a-am I --
am I gonna come home one day

And...Paige will just tell me
that she knows who we are?

I honestly --
I don't know.

[ water shuts off ]

Gabriel told me
they're sending a guy

Named reuben ncgobo.

He'll be here in a few hours,
coming in from moscow.

Moscow?

Yeah.

He's african national congress,
training there.

So he's bait, hoping veter
will come and kill him.

Well,
he's no ordinary bait.

He's number 3 on
south africa's most-wanted list.

And we trust him why --
'cause he's a communist?

Gabriel said these guys
go back to south africa

And they do what they say
they're gonna do.

A lot of them die.

We trust him.

[ spits ]

[ shower water running ]

What was she like?

Uh, what do you
want to know?

Oh, anything.

Nina was...

A good person,
straightforward.

We put her
in a compromised situation,

But she rose
to the occasion,

Did what was expected
of her.

Yeah,
the guy I was running,

When he talked about
the illegals,

You could tell
he respected them.

He could have never operated
on their level,

But it was like
he had this rivalry
going on with them --

In his head.

Well, nina never had much
on the illegals,

But what she did know,
she told me.

You sure?

I mean, it got so I trusted
my guy on the inside so much,

Till I realized half
of what he said was bullshit.

[ scoffs ]

He thought
he was running me.

That sounds complicated.

It was.

But you're lucky.

You were working
with a good woman.

Hey, look,
what do I know?

Anything's possible.

Nina could have been
a pathological liar.

She could have shot j.R.,
for all I know.

[ chuckles ]

But I think
she was a good source.

Well...

It's really too bad,
what happened.

Hey.
Hey.

How you doing?
Good. You?

I'm all right.
Where are you going?
English class.

English class.
Just getting out of history.

Yeah? How was it?
Yeah, it was all right.

I wish I was in there now.
It's so cold.

It's freezing.

You thought
I was imagining things

When I first told you
about him.

People can get overeager

When they start learning
how to do this.

A sophomore
at george washington --

I see
why it looked silly.

They probably recruited todd
back in south africa,

When they could
take advantage of the fact

That he was
young and naive.

He wasn't naive.

I grew up with so many like him
back in johannesburg --

Privileged, self-centered,

Little, miniature copies
of their parents.

I photographed him

Meeting a south african
intelligence officer --

Eugene veter.

We think he's planning
to stage an attack

And blame
the student groups here

Who are protesting
apartheid.

That's reuben ncgobo.

We think veter won't be able
to resist coming after him

Once he knows he's here.

Ncgobo's going to set
another meeting with todd.

We're hoping veter shows up
to kill ncgobo.

That's when we grab him.

How do you know
he'll go for it?

We don't. There's
a greater chance that he won't.

You always play against the odds
in this work.

So, what do I do?

Our main risk
is squad cars on patrol.

We'll set you in a place
where you can see

The maximum number
of crossroads.

If you do see a police car,
honk twice, short taps.

Then pull away.

I understand.

[ door closes ]

Philip:
Hello! Anybody hungry?

Got pizza.

And I did have them
put on

Extra pineapple,
anchovies, and pickles.

Oh, I already ate.

Okay.

Uh, henry! Pizza!

He's at doug's,
working on his science project.

[ sighs ]

I asked sandra
to come to the memorial.

It was stupid of me.

She's gonna fly halfway
across the country with me now,

When she's with
this other guy.

Must have seemed
like a total asshole.

I doubt
she thought that.

Don't doubt it.

Work's good,
otherwise?

It's okay.

There is this one guy
who...

He's just --

[ sighs ]

He asks
a lot of questions.

It bugs me.

Why?

He's a new guy.

He's always trying
to get in there, get noticed.

He's a black guy.

He's good at what he does.
He's just too...

I don't know.

What about you?
What's happening in your house?

Kids are busy.
Elizabeth's busy.

You know.
I eat pizza.

Honestly, raising kids,
trying to agree on things,

Lately...

We're on opposite sides
all the time.

Well, you're in a better place
than me, pal.

Hang in there.

[ sighs ]

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was on my way home from moscow
to see my wife and kids,

When they told me
to come here.

When were you last home?

A year and a half.

But it's more than worth it
if we get veter.

We'll get you back safe.

You have kids?

Boys? Girls?

I have one of each.

One of each.

Lucky mama.

Do your kids
have any idea

What a badass woman
their mom is?

[ chuckles ]

They think
I run a small family business.

[ laughs ]

I have four boys.

Where do they think
you are?

They know not to ask.

I am afraid
of what they've become.

When I left, buth was obsessed
with motorbikes --

Anything fast and shiny.

He would collect
these pictures from magazines.

I tell him,
"you care about this

When we live like dogs
in shacks, with nothing."

No matter
how many times

I ripped up the pictures
and beat him,

He would always
find more.

I know.

Americans don't discipline
their kids this way.

I'm not american.

He's a little guy.

If he had a motorbike,

Someone would beat him,
kill him for it.

I don't want him
to go that way.

Better to die fighting

For citizenship,
for freedom, yes?

Yes.

Yes, I'm calling to confirm

Zinaida preobrazhenskaya's
appointment tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll hold.

[ receiver clicks in cradle ]

[ papers rustle ]

[ knock on door ]

Gaad: Yeah?

I need a signature.

[ door closes ]

I went through four files,
I read every single report,

And at the end
of the day,

Uh, I-I don't think
there's anything there.

I mean, he's not interested
in working with the americans,

The french, the british,
or the australians.

Truth be told,
I just think

He wanted to get away
from his wife and kids.

[ pen cap rattles ]

[ rattling ]

[ rattling ]

Well, I think
that's enough for now.

Why don't you two
go back to your desks,

And I'll, uh...
Let you know.

Gaad: Martha?

This is walter taffet,
from o.P.R.

Would you come with us,
please?

Gene, will you excuse us
for a moment?

Uh, sure.

Who's that?

Our computer specialist.

When did he start?

Uh...

Last January.

Well, I'll need to talk to him,
for starters.

Can you provide me
with the logs

Of all
of agent gaad's visitors?

Uh, how -- how far back
would you like me to go?

Let's start
with three months.

Right away, sir.

Well, the sweepers
are going floor to floor now.

If they don't find anything,
I'll start interviews tomorrow.

How likely
do you think it is

That this is coming
from my department?

This could be a janitor
who got fired a year ago,

Could be
one of your agents...

Could be you.

You ready?

Yeah.

[ laughter ]

So, what's your favorite
kind of food, lisa?

Oh,
I like all kinds.

You ever had sushi?

Not yet.

Jack took me last week.

Raw fish.

Lisa: Ugh.
I couldn't handle it.

Oh, I love it.

[ laughter ]

On our first date, he took me
to this french bistro.

Aww.

That was --
it was so fun.

It was.

[ laughs ]

So, jack...

So, lisa...

[ laughing ]

Tell me about yourself.

What do you want to know?

Uh, I don't know --
the usual.

Where are you from?
Your job?

Is that really what you want
to know, or do you want to know

If I'm good enough
for michelle, here?

[ laughs ]

No, I'm just asking.
It's okay,
it's okay, it's okay.

You know, I like the fact
you're looking out for her.

Okay.
[ inhales deeply ]
[ laughs ]

I have been married before --
a long time ago,

When I was young
and a real knucklehead.

No kids.

Um...

I've had the same job,
which I love,

For going on 15 years,

And I think
meeting michelle, here,

Is probably
one of the best things

That's happened to me
in a very long time.

Would you agree?

I would.

Anything else?

[ chuckles ]
not right now.

Good,
'cause I'm starving.

You ever had
a veal milanese?

Uh, no.
[ laughs ]

You're gonna love it.

Okay. [ laughs ]

[ breathing shakily ]

[ sniffles ]

[ sighs ]

[ sniffles ]

I'm gonna go to martha's
tonight.

See you tomorrow, then.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe veter
won't even show up.

Maybe not.

If he does, I wish I had
a few more months with hans.

As long as we keep him
far enough back,

We should be fine.

Ncgobo was
talking about his sons.

He has four of them.

He said he hopes they all become
fighters, like him.

And you think
that's a good thing?

What?

I felt for him
and his kids,

Fighting
this brutal, horrendous war.

I mean, it's horrible,

But it's...Admirable
in a way.

It's brave.

They don't have
a lot of choices.

[ sighs ]

No. They don't.

I have to go.

[ engine turns over ]

[ sighs ]

[ car doors close ]

[ door opens ]

Hey.
Hey.

Uh, I'm gonna put this upstairs
and do some homework.

Bye, mom.

Hi.

Hey.

Uh, how are you?
Are you okay?

Yeah, sure.

Crap at work, you know.

I-I-I talked to arthur.

Oh. I'm sorry I even asked you
to come with me.

I don't know
what I was thinking.

No, I -- a part of me wanted
to go, you know, of course,

But I'm not your wife
anymore, so...

You're still my wife.

Technically speaking.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh...

[ sighs ]

I think
it's time that we...

Did something about that.

[ door opens ]

Hi, honey.

How are you?

In -- in here.

Good to see you.

Hey.

Hey.

Something wrong?

No. No.

Um, just -- I'm --
I'm -- I'm tired.

Long day.

[ sniffles ]

I, uh, I have a...Early flight
to, um, indianapolis...

Mm-hmm?
...Tomorrow morning,

But I'm glad we --
we get a night together.

Where's your purse?

You know,
I left it at work.

What?

Where?

Uh, it's in my desk drawer,
so don't worry.

No one can touch it.

I...

I, um, I just forgot it,
like a total ditz.

I, uh, went shopping
at lunchtime, and I had bags,

And then, when I left,
I forgot the purse,

And I had to get the spare key
from diane.

Well,
I'm glad she was home.

How was your day?

Oh. Uh...

Boring, uneventful --
fine.

You know
what I was thinking?

I have never
been to your apartment.

Let's pick a night.

We can order takeout

And dine by candlelight
at my very small table.

We could even, maybe,
try a new position on the futon.

Sounds nice.

How about...
We go there tonight?

...Invited the prime minister
to join me tomorrow

For breakfast so that we can
discuss in more detail

The efforts
that both of us are making

To secure
a more peaceful world.

So our statements, as a result
of all of our discussions,

Will be made tomorrow morning,
following that breakfast

And before
the prime minister's departure.
Is there
anything to eat?

Oh. Uh...

[ tv turns off ]
yeah.

Yeah,
I picked up some things.

Let's see -- I got, uh,
some bologna and a frozen pizza,

And I also have this.

Just add heat.

Manageable.

Okay.

[ sighs ]

So, uh...

Are you going
to that funeral in chicago?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, it's a memorial,
actually.

Lot of agents
are gonna be there.

You know, dave and I
worked undercover together.

Did you know that?

No.

No, I thought
you guys were just friends.

Yeah.

He was the only person
I could talk to about that

For a...

A long time.

What was it like?

It was strange.

Hard.

I...

You know...

I got pretty screwed up.

How so?

I had to pretend
to be friends with people

I really didn't like --

Terrible people.

There was a man --
john reisling.

He's in san quentin now.

He was a bad guy.

Uh, what did he do?

Bad things.

Like what?

Did he kill people?

He did.

It's okay.
You can ask me.

Did he make you
kill people?

No.

No. Thank god.

Were you scared?

So, I know I have
some candles in here,

And, uh...

Takeout menu.

You know, I was, uh...

I was saving this
for our anniversary,

But we could have it
tonight.

Yeah, I know.
It just needs a woman's touch.

Clark.

Mm-hmm?

[ sighs ]

Do you think that we're ever
gonna live together,

Like a normal
married couple?

[ sighs ]

Martha,
I don't have a normal life.

I don't have
a normal job.

But there's nothing so great
about normal.

Oh, isn't there?

Nor-- normal is
for everybody else.

Because...
If you're asking me

Do I think
things will get better,

Then the answer
is "yes."

And when I think
about us,

I think it keeps getting
better and better.

Don't you?

Y-- I-- I'm not really
in the mood for that.

Let's save it.

Are you sure?

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Come here.

Mm.

Um...

Sorry. I'm...

Martha, what's wrong?

Want to talk about it?

No.
No, no, no, no, no.

I'm just, uh,
I'm just off tonight.

I...

I should just go to bed.

I'm -- I might be
coming down with something.

Yeah.

Yeah, there -- well,
there's something going around.

I think I, uh,
I want to go home.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay. I'll drive you.

[ door closes ]

Mm.

[ sighs ]

What time is it?

It's late.

[ both sigh ]

I should have told you
about my talk with paige.

I have a son.

Another son.

He's irina's,
from when we were kids.

20 years old.

And he's in afghanistan.

Gabriel told me.

He's in combat?

He's a paratrooper.

Henry,
don't forget your poem.

How could I forget?
You told me 10 times already.

Henry!

Well, I'm not reading it
out loud.

Mrs. Macelhaney said that
you could read your own aloud

Or you could trade
with a friend.

I don't want a friend to read
my poem out loud. That's worse.

Then you're not following
the assignment.

You're not a part
of this discourse, paige.

Discourse?
That's a good word,
henry.

Henry, book.

There you go.
Thanks.

Paige:
What are you talking about?
I was talking to dad.

Bye, guys.
Bye.

[ door closes ]

[ sighs ]

Something's up
with martha.

I don't know.
Could be the foster kid.

She's still on that.

What are you gonna do?

[ sighs ]
I don't know.

But I don't think
I'm really up for another kid.
