CLAUDIA Did your professor talk about the summit again this week? PAIGE He thinks the summit's gonna be a big success. ELIZABETH It's hard to trust the Americans. STAN So, I'm thinking of leaving my job. Not the FBI, the department I'm working in. We're talking to someone, and it is risky. GENNADI Gennadi Bystrov, uh, nice to meet you. STAN Stan. GENNADI I am a courier, so maybe we can work together. MAN The couriers work in pairs. One stays outside the stall, while the other one takes the pouch inside the stall with him. That's the weak point. KOVTUN KOVTUN OLEG We want you to find out what your wife is doing and tell us. And if you have to, stop her. ELIZABETH This summit is a big deal. There's a lot to do. PHILIP I know how tired you are, but I need to talk to you. ELIZABETH If you knew how tired I am, you wouldn't still be talking. I need sleep. Let me sleep. AGENT PEDERSEN Even if we get there, what's it give us? AGENT DELLUVA We get us one testimony that he never bought cocaine from her. STAN Yeah, a single count of perjury. AGENT PEDERSEN That's if we can make it stick with a jury, which I doubt. AGENT DELLUVA I can't get over those goddamn shoes. AGENT PEDERSEN Alligator. AGENT DELLUVA Waltzing around City Hall and all this while the city goes to shit. STAN Hey, didn't we subpoenaed them? AGENT DELLUVA The shoes? STAN Yeah. AGENT PEDERSEN Yeah. We got them. SECRETARY Agent Beeman? Line three. STAN Beeman. Yeah, I'll come down this afternoon. I'll come down now. STAN Quiet around here. DAWN Mm-hmm. STAN Where is everybody? DENNIS There's a big summit coming up. A lot of Russians in town. Everybody's out. Teacup called the ops line. It didn't sound good. STAN What's wrong? DENNIS I don't know. But I told him you will see him at 600 tonight. STAN Oh, great. You calling Renee, tell her I'm coming home late? DENNIS So guess who's in town. Oleg Burov. STAN You're shitting me. DENNIS Nope. STAN At his old job? DENNIS At the Potomac Inn. Not on a Dip passport. STAN We're on him? DENNIS Intermittent. We're stretched thin right now with the summit. CIA says he's been out of the KGB for three years. STAN They believe that? DENNIS That's what their sources in Moscow say. He's here on a tourist visa. Put down on his application that he's going to some kind of class at George Mason. STAN That check out? DENNIS He's enrolled in a course on Urban Transport Planning. For his father's ministry. Maybe. STAN Urban Transport Planning? That's a long way from the KGB. DENNIS Yeah. If you happen to stop by and see him, just let me know what you think. PATRICK Megan? ELIZABETH Patrick! It's so good to see you! PATRICK How are things over at State? ELIZABETH Oh, same as always. Busy with the summit, though. PATRICK You're telling me. Exciting times, though. ELIZABETH Yeah, if we don't all kill each other. PATRICK I've heard things are a little hot over there. ELIZABETH More than a little. PATRICK How much How much of the rank and file is with Schultz on this? ELIZABETH Well, of the people I talk to. PATRICK Mm-hmm. ELIZABETH Half, maybe. My boss, yes. His boss, no. The problem is he thinks Gorbachev is the Second Coming. You can't go into a negotiation like that. PATRICK That's right. ACTA wants to make a deal, that's what they're there for, but a few of us are waking up every morning and wondering what we have to do to get out of this thing. Meanwhile, Harrington's already invited Gorbachev to Lake Bistineau for the log cabin treatment. ELIZABETH If you'd told me a year ago we'd be about to sign this treaty. PATRICK Look, realistically, I don't know what we have to do to roll back INF on this. But by the time the Russians head back home from this summit, STAR will be a done deal, too. And if that happens. ELIZABETH Hmm. PATRICK It's no secret that the Russians want a deal. They can't afford an arms race, so we are holding most of the cards. ELIZABETH You think Reagan's just going soft? PATRICK I don't know. Maybe. Could be worried about his legacy. It's so frustrating because this summit could wind up winning us the entire Cold War. But Weinberger and Gaffney, they've got to keep Reagan true to himself. Listen, I'm gonna be over at State on Wednesday. Are you free for lunch? ELIZABETH Yeah, sure. You know that steak place on Virginia? PATRICK Uh, no, I've-I've got all day meetings. Let's just go to the cafeteria. ELIZABETH Oh, the food's so bad there. Come on. PATRICK I won't have time to do anything out of the building. ELIZABETH Okay. 1230. Cafeteria. PATRICK I'll see you then. ELIZABETH Yep. GENNADI She kicked me out of the house. She screamed. She-She yelled. I-I don't know what to do. I'm just walking around streets. STAN Okay, well, what happened? What'd you do? GENNADI I didn't do nothing. I watched games. I relaxed. I asked her to please bring me another beer. She was already standing. And she just Oh, God. On and on. Every little thing I ever do is wrong. Sorry I called you, but you're the only person I could call. STAN Oh, that's okay. But you got to just There's a lot at stake here, all right? Not just you and Sofia. But Ilia. Your work with us. GENNADI Yes. Yes. I know. I told her that. STAN It's gonna be fine, okay? But I really got to go. GENNADI Stan. You're a good friend. STAN Yeah. I'll see you, Gennadi. ERICA I need it. I need it. I need it! ELIZABETH It's not time yet. ERICA Screw you, it's not time! It's killing me! Give me my goddamn morphine! ELIZABETH Deep, deep breaths. In and out. In and out. ERICA Ah, what's wrong with you? Can't you see that I am in pain? Glenn! ELIZABETH I can't give it to her for another hour. She'll develop a tolerance. ERICA I need it. GLENN Okay. Okay. ERICA I can't I can't do this. GLENN Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Okay? There you go. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Okay. Okay. Shh. ERICA Mm. Mm-hmm. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't go on like this. I can't. No, I don't want to. I don't want to. You need to do it. You need to do it. We need to end this. End this. I can't. GLENN We will. We will. We will. Soon. Shh, shh, shh. TV ANNOUNCERS ELIZABETH Glenn. GLENN Hold on. One sec. Sorry. Big play. ELIZABETH Do you want to talk later, or? GLENN No. No, no. Sorry. ELIZABETH So, what you said up there. Are you two planning on ending her life? I know how hard this is. GLENN She's suffering. She can't go on like this. She doesn't want to. ELIZABETH I know people who have done it. What are you planning to use? GLENN We don't need to talk about this. ELIZABETH It can go wrong. If you don't do it the right way, it can be worse. GLENN I've been keeping a little bit of morphine each time we throw away a bottle. I figure by early next month. ELIZABETH That's not good. It could just put her into a coma. Or leave her brain-dead. I could help you. GLENN I could never ask you to do that. ELIZABETH You didn't ask. ELIZABETH I suppose she would've just drifted off. CLAUDIA It's not usually that easy. ELIZABETH Well, she's really gonna suffer now. CLAUDIA You just have to keep her alive through the summit. What does she draw? ELIZABETH People. Faces. Kind of strange. I don't know. CLAUDIA You don't like her work. ELIZABETH I don't know why people spend their life doing that. At least her husband is doing something. I'm having lunch with McCleesh Wednesday. The only place he'd do it is the State Department cafeteria. He's working on the negotiation, and he loves to impress me. CLAUDIA The State Department cafeteria? ELIZABETH I know. I keep asking myself what the odds are. CLAUDIA Well, don't do that. The center wants you to contact your old friend, Lyle Rennhull- a general now. You're to try and get something called a lithium-based radiation sensor from him. Apparently the Air Force has 300. I'm supposed to give you the order, tell you it's from the person you met with in Mexico, and say we need if for the thing he was working on. And I'm not supposed to ask any questions. ELIZABETH A lithium-based radiation sensor. Well, that's a new one. The way Paige has taken to you, if something were to happen to me at any point, I think you could finish with her. She'll have it better. State, or even if it's the CIA, she will go to work in the morning, and she'll come home at night. CLAUDIA You'll be fine, Elizabeth. Both of you will. STAN Okay, hold on, hold on. SOFIA Stan, he's never at home, and when he is, he drinks, he watch TV, he pass out on sofa. I can't stand it, you know! And I know he has sex with other woman. Stan, I know it. I want a divorce, Stan. STAN Okay. Well, the thing is. SOFIA No, it's done. It's done. My friend Bogdan, he tells me to finish it. STAN Bogdan? SOFIA At TAS. I told you about him. STAN No, you didn't. SOFIA Bogdan. He is a very kind man. Friend. Uh, very intelligent and nice to talk to. He's a senior correspondent. STAN You and Bogdan, are you? SOFIA No. STAN But you-you like him? SOFIA He gives advice. And, uh, he's good at listening. You know, Gennadi, he never listens. STAN Sophia, if you leave Gennadi is doing dangerous work, and you're a big part of it. You're still very important to each other. SOFIA You will figure it out, okay? I have to take care of my boy. PHILIP You got home pretty late last night. ELIZABETH I tried not to wake you. I'm. PHILIP It's fine. ELIZABETH I'm sorry if I've been. Just so busy. PHILIP You want to tell me about some of it? ELIZABETH I think Paige is, uh, pretty good at this. But she made a mistake the other night. Got someone's name wrong. PHILIP It happens. Happened to us. You grow into it. ELIZABETH I learned fast. Don't tell her we talked about this. DENNIS Hey. STAN Hey. DENNIS Can you come down to the vault for a minute? STAN I'm meeting Lana in two minutes. I can come down in a couple hours. DENNIS No, just quickly. You saw them? STAN Yeah. Things aren't good between them. Again. Worse this time. DENNIS Can it be fixed? STAN I'm not a marriage counselor, Dennis. He wants to keep it together. Her, I'm not so sure about. She met a guy at work. DENNIS Uh-oh. STAN Yeah. I'm worried about it. He's supposed to fly tomorrow. DENNIS Nobody's life was on the line when I left my wife. STAN Yeah, same when Sandra left me. DENNIS Would’ve slowed her down, right? STAN I'm not sure. Her being who she is, her new friend could find out everything at lunch one day. DENNIS She's tricky, but she's not looking to get him killed. All right, he goes, we work on her, and we sleep like shit as always. STAN I can't tell you how much better I feel just dealing with murderers, drug dealers and corrupt politicians. I'm serious. AGENT DELLUVA Stan, we got Lawton. STAN Yeah. Talk to you ELIZABETH The future looks bright, don't you think? GENERAL LYLE Excuse me? ELIZABETH You met with one of my colleagues in 1981. You wanted to warn us against an arms race in space. GENERAL LYLE This is not a good idea. ELIZABETH It's okay, General. We can talk for a minute or two. GENERAL LYLE I'm not interested. ELIZABETH I understand. I really do. But I actually need your help. GENERAL LYLE I can't help you. ELIZABETH It's pretty simple. I need a piece of technology. We understand that the Air Force has acquired lithium-based radiation sensors. GENERAL LYLE You're crazy. ELIZABETH The Air Force has 300 of them. You know that any imbalance is dangerous. We just need one. GENERAL LYLE Do you even know what that is? ELIZABETH A sensor that detects a nuclear blast very quickly and can be mass produced. GENERAL LYLE There are channels for communications between our countries. I'm not one of them. ELIZABETH You have been, and this is something that has to happen quickly and quietly. GENERAL LYLE Please. Don't contact me again. ELIZABETH I wish I could do that, General. But this is something that you need to get for us. We shouldn't talk any longer right now. I'll be at Fort Lincoln Park Thursday at 900 p.m. Please bring the sensor near the amphitheater. TOUR GUIDE This way, everyone, for the 1100 tour. 1100 tour. TOUR GUIDE In the historical record, he's described as gangly and awkward. But that's not the impression we get here. This is an image of pride and dignity. Instead of reproducing exact physical features, Houdon honors the essence of Lafayette's character his commitment to liberty, to the dream of America. PHILIP Jeremy? Jer. Hey, Jeremy. JEREMY Hey, Philip. PHILIP I was just thinking about you. JEREMY Oh, yeah? PHILIP Do we have you guys all set up for this year? Italy, right? JEREMY Look. We, uh. We found this place. It's like a budget place. PHILIP Wh-what do you mean? JEREMY I feel terrible about it, and Mary Lou's pissed at me, but it's just a lot cheaper. That's, like, their specialty. Budget travel. PHILIP Well, we can always make adjustments if you're looking to do it cheaper. I just want to make sure you're staying in the right place that's having the best experience. JEREMY No, I know, but I don't want to nickel-and-dime you. The kids are in college, and PHILIP No, no, no. I-I understand. Don't worry about it. JEREMY We'll come back. PHILIP Yeah. Yeah. There's-there's always plenty of more vacations to take. Next time just tell me. We'll always take care of you, you know that. JEREMY I know, I know. Thanks. Sorry. PHILIP Yeah, no. It's, uh, it's great to see you. Give my love to Mary Lou. JEREMY Will do. PHILIP Yeah. JEREMY Same to Elizabeth. PHILIP Yeah, yeah. Bye. TOUR GUIDE Now, if everyone's ready, we'll move on next to the Diplomatic Reception Rooms. And again you'll see it's beautifully designed in the Neo-Classical style. Did anybody see the woman with blonde hair and glasses? She was here a minute ago. Can someone check the bathroom? WOMAN Sure. RECEPTIONIST Welcome back. PHILIP Hi. Close the door. I, uh, I just ran into Jeremy Branch. STAVOS Oh, how is he? PHILIP He's fine, but he booked his trip through someone else. So, what happened? STAVOS I don't know. Uh, the last I heard, he was going to discuss the package with his wife and-and call me back. PHILIP He booked through some budget place instead. STAVOS Shit. PHILIP You should've stayed on top of it. You should've checked in with him. STAVOS He was hard, Mr. Philip. He. He's really your client and you have the relationships. He kept asking me, what does What does Philip say? PHILIP You should've told me that. STAVOS You kept saying over and over to take personal responsibility. And you've been so busy. PHILIP I didn't want you to lose the client. PATRICK I understand the frustration, but these big bureaucracies are all the same. The people above you never want to make room. Look at me, I'm 65 and I'm still here. The best thing you can do is broaden your horizons. Step outside the organization. ELIZABETH Get a job somewhere else? PATRICK Maybe. Come work with me. Stay at State and get a PhD. If you come back with a new set of qualifications, they look at you different. BRIGGS Can you repeat that description for me? SECURITY GUARD Yeah. Female, Caucasian, long blonde hair coat and glasses. ELIZABETH Hey, you know what? It's so beautiful out. Let's take our food and go eat outside. PATRICK Uh I have to be back upstairs in half an hour. ELIZABETH I'll have you back. Come on, Patrick. I need some air. BRIGGS Hey, this is Briggs in the cafeteria. Uh, would you say that the woman she had strawberry blonde? PATRICK Ah. PATRICK My deputy showed us some transcripts where Reagan is talking about it. If you look at them together, it's fairly clear that he thinks it's a complete missile defense. ELIZABETH That's disturbing. PATRICK I was talking to one of Don Regan's aids this morning. You have to keep this to yourself. ELIZABETH Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. PATRICK He said that Regan has been complaining about how crazy things are getting around the Oval Office. ELIZABETH How so? PATRICK The president's been forgetful. Not focused. Almost a different person lately. The man I talked to said he thinks that the president might be going senile. CLAUDIA I can't even fathom the implications of this. ELIZABETH But what can we do? CLAUDIA Probably nothing. Weinberger and his cronies are even more hardlined than Reagan. And if he's slowly losing his mind. Anything new on the summit? ELIZABETH I'm still following Haskard's group. As far as I can tell the next me CLAUDIA Hello, my dear! PAIGE Hi. ELIZABETH Hi, honey. CLAUDIA You know Tchaikovsky? PAIGE Oh, God. ELIZABETH She's not a big classical music fan. CLAUDIA Well, that's because she doesn't know Tchaikovsky. PAIGE The Nutcracker, right? ELIZABETH Yeah. I took you to that ballet when you were little. PAIGE I remember. CLAUDIA He's one of Russia's greatest composers. His mother died when he was young and his life was full of loneliness. This is the first record I ever bought. For a long time after the war, it was the only music I could listen to. PAIGE Do our people ever use sex to get information? ELIZABETH What? PAIGE I'm reading a book about the organization, and it says that sex is one of the techniques. ELIZABETH There's a lot of bullshit out there, Paige. PAIGE It doesn't sound like bullshit. ELIZABETH Well, they can make anything sound believable. That's what sells books. PAIGE So, that never happens? ELIZABETH No. Look, I can't speak for every officer, but those relationships could turn into something different. You get very close to people. Get to know them very well. And in certain circumstances, if the information is critical enough, people may cross lines sometimes, and then that gets twisted by whoever wrote that book. PAIGE Have you heard stories of this happening? ELIZABETH I'm cut off from everyone else. I don't hear stories. Where'd you find this book? PAIGE A used book store on Capitol Hill. I bought other books on espionage and more, so it just looks like I'm doing research. Paid with cash. ELIZABETH Don't ever go to the library for that sort of thing. PAIGE Obviously. ELIZABETH It's easy to see things as very black and white. But the world is complicated. And the more that you get that, the better off you'll be. A book store out of town would be better. PAIGE I'll see you tonight. ELIZABETH See you tonight. ELIZABETH How are you? GENERAL LYLE I don't think you give a shit about that. ELIZABETH I suppose you're right. I give a shit about my country. And it's in trouble right now. GENERAL LYLE And whose fault is that? I can hardly tell you how much I never wanted to see you people again. ELIZABETH I can imagine. GENERAL LYLE If you say so. You know, the last time you came to me, a man wound up dead. I have nightmares about it. All those people I killed in Korea, and this is what I have nightmares about. I'm not giving you the goddamn sensor. Or anything else. ELIZABETH You should give it some serious thought. GENERAL LYLE Yeah. Well. You may think I'm a traitor, but I thought was I-I was trying to do the right thing last time. Now I see how idiotic that was. That you used me. That's not gonna happen twice. ELIZABETH I don't think you're an idiot. If you don't give it to us, my people are going to expose what you did. You'll go to jail. You'll be disgraced. If you bring us what we need, it's over. You retire from the Air Force. We have no reason to come to you ever again. This will be it. I think you're smart. Saturday night, 730 p.m. Huntley Meadows Park. Southeast corner, by the trail head. ELIZABETH Do you need anything? ERICA Ow! Goddamn it. What do you see? ELIZABETH A woman. ERICA Yeah, but what else? ELIZABETH She's upset. ERICA Nothing else in there? Well. You're not the first. But you're never gonna really see until you try to do it. Take that pad. Turn to a blank page. ELIZABETH What? ERICA You heard me. Now, take one of the… Yeah. ELIZABETH Trust me, I-I can't draw. ERICA Oh, that's not your problem. Sit. Pencil. All right, look at that mug. Just that. It's not really a mug. It's light and dark. Just That's all. Stare are it. Just draw on the dark parts. Don't draw the light parts. ELIZABETH I really. ERICA Shut up. Just draw what's dark. HENRY He was right in my face like, "Ahh, ahh. Come one, harmonize, harmonize. Ahh. Ahh." PHILIP Oh, man. That sounds crazy. HENRY Yeah. Well, what about you? Why are you… why are you in the office so late? PHILIP Oh, um I don't know. HENRY Well, I mean, you sound like you're about to jump out a window. PHILIP No, no. Stavos kind of screwed up this week, so I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna deal with that. HENRY Well, what did he do? PHILIP Well, I had this client from forever, and I handed him off to Stavos, and I just found out he dumped us. And this guy's been coming to me for 15 years. I booked every family vacation they ever took. HENRY Wow. So, why'd you hand him off to Stavos, then? PHILIP Well, we're bigger now. I can't deal with every single customer. HENRY Yeah, but, I mean, he kind of sounded like your customer. HENRY You sound like Stavos. HENRY Mr. Philip. Mr. Philip. PHILIP Yeah, that, um. That really doesn't sound like Stavos. GENERAL LYLE Stop. ELIZABETH This is a mistake. You know that if you hurt me, they'll kill you. GENERAL LYLE I'm not going to jail. And I'm not gonna betray my country. ELIZABETH Wait, wait. Ju Please. Wait a second. M-Maybe I pushed too far. GENERAL LYLE Doesn't matter. It's too late. ELIZABETH No, it's not. It's not too late. Please listen to me. GENERAL LYLE You people don't pray, do you? ELIZABETH No. Okay. Okay. Please. Please. I'm a mother. Really, I ha-I have children. Please, you don't have to do this. I-I have two children. Please, I am sorry. Whatever I did, it's not that. GENERAL LYLE ELIZABETH PAIGE Mom. Mom, are you? ELIZABETH Go back to your car, now! Go back! Now! Follow the plan. Go!
