AGENT_BROOKS AGENT_GAZEL AGENT_LOEB ALL ANNOUNCER CLAUDIA DELLUVA DENNIS ELIZABETH HENRY JACKSON JANINE KIMBERLY MARILYN PAIGE PEDERSEN PHILIP RENEE STAN STAVOS PHILIP Previously on The Americans. PHILIP There's no easy way to say this, Henry, but we've been having a-a rough patch at work. HENRY I thought you said that things were looking up. PHILIP I know. But they're not. ELIZABETH One of our negotiators has been secretly meeting with a CIA officer in the Soviet division. We've got to find out what he's saying. But I need your help. You have to meet Kimmy in Greece. PHILIP Was that out of line? KIMBERLY No, it- I liked it. STAN Have we ever gotten one thing off that X-ray? DENNIS Oh, come on. You're like a goddamn broken record. STAN Our job was to protect them. We promised we'd keep them safe. Now they're killed. Seven years old, finds his mom and step-dad covered in blood. STAN Hey, you okay? PHILIP Yeah. Yeah. It just sounds awful. PHILIP I can't meet you in Greece, Kimmy. If somebody tries to get you to get to a communist country with them, don't. ELIZABETH Oh, hi. PHILIP Hi. ELIZABETH How was work? PHILIP Nothing new to report. ELIZABETH Okay. I'm tired, going to bed. PHILIP Stan came by. He was very upset about a couple who was murdered right in front of their seven-year-old kid. A defector and his wife. ELIZABETH I didn't do it in front of their kid. He was in another room. I-I didn't see him. PHILIP He saw them covered in blood. ELIZABETH What do you want me to say? PHILIP I'm not doing the thing with Kimmy. ELIZABETH Of course you aren't. You were never going to do it. PHILIP No, I was. You got me. Somehow you got me. ELIZABETH You just wanted to fuck her. You weren't getting enough action here. PHILIP You can think whatever you want. ELIZABETH Fine. I'll take care of Kimmy. Don't agonize over it. PHILIP I warned her not to go to any communist countries. I'm never gonna see her again. It's over. That's over. STAN The guy who showed up in the cream-colored Rolls-Royce, that guy owns a motel? DELLUVA It's a wreck, but the mayor's good to his friends. PEDERSEN Gave the guy a city contract to house D.C.'s homeless there. STAN Yeah, but that doesn't buy you a Rolls. PEDERSEN It does if you let him slap a four-star rating on the motel and get the city to pay the new room rates. DENNIS Sorry to interrupt. STAN Hey, you guys know Dennis Aderholt. He runs CI, the most screwed up division in the bureau. Not that it's his fault. DENNIS Well, thanks for that. I got to talk to you downstairs. STAN I don't know, man. Every time I go down there, someone winds up dead. DENNIS Easy there, Stan. DENNIS You got any more steam you want to blow off? STAN No. DENNIS I mean, get it out now. STAN I'm fine. STAN What's going on? DENNIS Byvstrov. Before he died, one of his diplomatic pouches had a circuit board for some kind of sensor in it. STAN Sensor? DENNIS Yeah, picks up radioactivity, or Brooks knows more about it. Ask him. Altheon makes them. They've got a plant in Chicago, and a warehouse here out in Newington. Eight days after Byvstrov's pouch leaves the country, there's a break in at the warehouse. Three guards get killed. STAN Jesus. DENNIS They're obviously after one of these sensors, but they didn't get it. The circuit board in Byvstrov's pouch came from the Altheon plant in Chicago. So people out there started looking at their employees, consultants, anyone who could have had access. We get on to this one engineer, 42-years-old, he folds in, like five minutes. He tells us about this man he met in a bar who ended up recruiting him. They were apparently very intimate. STAN No shit. DENNIS So we had him set up another meeting, or date, whatever. We were there. STAN An illegal? DENNIS Code name, Harvest. DENNIS Lives in Skokie. Runs an accounting business in Chicago. Him, two other accountants, and a secretary. We've had a team on him out there for almost two weeks now. It's been a gold mine. We've been getting all sorts of intel on how he operates. Most of it's tradecraft we've never seen before. We're starting to use it to track down the rest of them. Now, I know you don't want to be down here, Stan. But look what's going on. We got Rennhull, a key general in the SDI program, once accused of being a Soviet spy, commits suicide in a public park. Then, Bystrov and Sofia, the sensor in his pouch. This illegal. STAN Burov shows up out of nowhere, studying traffic or whatever it is. DENNIS The Russians are sitting down with us in public, trying to negotiate this bit treaty, but behind our backs, they're stealing our weapons and our technology as usual. They want to look peaceful, but really they're just trying to screw us. We're close. We're really close. We got this guy in Chicago. We're gonna get the illegals here and all over the country based on what we're learning. It's gonna happen fast. You've been mad about this a long time. I get why. But But this is it now. You should be here. PHILIP Hey! HENRY Hey. PHILIP How are you? HENRY Oh, good. How are you? PHILIP Good. Hungry? HENRY Yeah. PHILIP Leave it. HENRY Stop, keep your eyes on the road. PHILIP Leave it. HENRY Oh. PHILIP How are finals going? HENRY Oh, everyone is panicking. PHILIP You? HENRY No. Me and a couple of guy from my team started this study group, so we're fine. I- I do have to finish this Thoreau book, though. So don't be mad if I'm locked in my room. Um Dad, I don't- I don't want to leave school. PHILIP I know you don't. I know you don't. I'm doing the best I can, Henry. HENRY I I talked to Mr. Sato about it. And he said that there were still a few scholarships that I could apply for. PHILIP Okay. HENRY Oh, also, I'm gonna get a summer job. PHILIP I know you're trying to help. But, Henry, tuition alone is almost Nine thousand. HENRY Nine thousand, I know, Dad, but I'm not talking about a job at the mall. My friend Jason's dad owns this tannery in West Virginia, and Jason goes down there every year to work. And he said that I can come, too. So Look, they pay $7.10 an hour, and they put you up. Look, I- I know it's not enough, but I was thinking there might be some stuff that we could do to help the business. Don't be mad, though. PHILIP What? HENRY Jason's dad owns a couple different companies, and I told him we were having some problems with the travel agency. PHILIP Henry! HENRY What? Look, he was totally cool with it. He said he'd had a few failures himself. PHILIP Wh- I-I haven't failed. I haven't failed. I ju- All- You- You told him I failed? HENRY No, but it doesn't matter. He doesn't care. Look, he said he'd be happy to talk to you about it and give you some advice. PHILIP Well, I don't- I don't know this guy. HENRY He's really nice, and you might end up, you know, planning a trip for him. And then he'll tell his rich friends, and then you'll have more clients. Are you mad? PHILIP Well. No, I just wish you'd talk to me first. HENRY It wasn't like I was trying to talk about it behind you back or anything. It was. We were just talking about the job and it came up. I'm sorry. Look, can you please just talk to him? PHILIP I don't know. Maybe. HENRY Dad, I busted my ass for three years, and if I don't actually graduate from St. Edward's, it doesn't mean anything. So please just think about it, okay? PHILIP Yeah. HENRY Thank you. ELIZABETH This is Rififi, right? JACKSON Uh, yeah. ELIZABETH Oh, good. I walked into Bob le Flambeur by accident. It's a great movie, but I've already seen it. JACKSON Well, yeah, you'll like this. ELIZABETH Oh, you've seen it? JACKSON Uh, third-- third time. ELIZABETH Wow. JACKSON Yeah. It's the greatest heist movie in history. ELIZABETH Oh. JACKSON Uh, I can't believe it's not more packed. ELIZABETH Is anybody sitting here? JACKSON Oh, no. You can go- go ahead. ELIZABETH Thank you. I guess everyone's saving their money for Three Men and a Baby. JACKSON Yeah. Right. Although the original, Trois Oncle et un Coufin, isn't bad. ELIZABETH Surprisingly good, in fact. AGENT LOEB There are thousands of places they could be renting as garages here that match the kind of places we track Harvest to in Chicago. We found about 200 so far to check out. We've cleared 180. We're on the other 20, and we're trying to find more. STAN Can I hang on to this? AGENT LOEB Sure. DENNIS Now, the guys in Chicago may have identified one of Harvest's safe houses. Someone there is paying the utilities in advance, so that could be how they do things everywhere. We'll want to check the utility records here, find out with accounts are being paid the same way. Now, take Llewelyn and Vignau if you need help. AGENT LOEB Okay. DENNIS Come here. Let me show you this. AGENT GAZEL Hey, anything on the wiretaps out there? DENNIS Well, they've been picking up something. Maybe telemarketers, maybe coded signals, nothing definitive. But They figured out how he gets some of his cars. They found two vehicles in undercover garages. Both bought for cash from listings in the Classified ads. STAN Legally? DENNIS Fake I.D. on the registration. STAN How the hell do you track that? DENNIS You track down the registration of every single car bought with cash in the DC area. Anything sold from a newspaper ad, a Pennysaver, Autotrader. You start in 1987, work back to '78. You pull together a list of likely fake I.D.'s. You cross-reference them with the rest of what we're getting from the illegals' tradecraft. Maybe they use the same name on a lease, or a utility bill. Why don't you take this one, Stan? Work with Samuels. STAN A lot of cars. DENNIS You can pull in as many guys as you need on this. ELIZABETH And that heist. JACKSON Yeah. ELIZABETH I mean, what was that, like a half hour of silence? JACKSON 28 minutes. ELIZABETH That's incredible. JACKSON I know. ELIZABETH I couldn't believe it. JACKSON I know. Uh Uh, smoke? ELIZABETH I can't say no after a French movie. JACKSON He's, uh, he's not French. ELIZABETH Who? JACKSON He's not French. That, uh, director. ELIZABETH Oh. JACKSON Jules Dassin. Here you go. ELIZABETH Thanks. JACKSON Grew up in Harlem. He was then blacklisted by McCarthy, so it's why he had to go work in France. ELIZABETH Crazy. JACKSON Yeah. Have you seen The Naked City? ELIZABETH No. JACKSON Okay, that's him, too. It's-It's film noir, shot completely on location in New York in 1948 when, like, no one did that. It's really amazing. ELIZABETH You know a lot about film. JACKSON Yeah. It's the greatest art form of the 20th century. ELIZABETH I was gonna go get some pizza. You want to tell me more? JACKSON Oh. Um I have to be up really early for work. Yeah, but, yeah. It was good talking to you, though. Yeah. ELIZABETH You, too. ELIZABETH Hi. HENRY Hey, Mom. Can I bum one? Well, what are you- Mom, what are you doing? No, holy shit. I was just joking. Put them away. Are you trying to give me cancer? So, you've been smoking a lot? ELIZABETH I smoke. I always smoked. it relaxes me. HENRY I get it. ELIZABETH I guess I smoke more now than I used to. But you're an adult now. I don't have to hide things from you anymore. Did you eat anything? HENRY No, not really. ELIZABETH I'll make you something. HENRY Hey, Dad. PHILIP Hey. HENRY Morning. PHILIP You're up early. HENRY Yeah. Is Paige home? PHILIP I don't think so. Why? HENRY Someone was sleeping in her bed last night. I was just wondering. PHILIP It was Mom. She had to get up early. HENRY Hmm. Mm, aren't you late for work? PHILIP Yeah. Unless I am the boss. PHILIP And how did he fall off the bike? HENRY His shirt was off and it trailed over the back wheel. And it, uh, it slipped into the spokes. PHILIP Man! Thanks. HENRY Yeah, he lost control of the bike and flew over the handle bars. And he smashed his hip into a metal pole. PHILIP Well, that's terrible. HENRY Yeah, the doctor said that it was, like, the equivalent of stepping on a cracker. PHILIP Oh. Thanks. Will he be all right? HENRY I don't know. I hope so. ANNOUNCER Five more laps to go for the white car. HENRY He can't even walk, either, so he's not gonna be back in school until after Christmas. Ah. PHILIP Fuck! I got it. ANNOUNCER Oh, what a race! HENRY You okay? PHILIP Yeah. Sorry. HENRY Is it work? PHILIP Uh, no. I mean, yeah. Yes, but. HENRY Is it Mom? PHILIP What do you mean? HENRY I don't know, it's just that you don't really talk. PHILIP Henry, everything's fine. Look, I love your mother, she loves me. See, sometimes. Everything's fine. HENRY Cool. ANNOUNCER The next race starts in five minutes. ELIZABETH Rififi. JACKSON Oh. Yeah. Hey. ELIZABETH Uh, I haven't seen The Naked City yet. JACKSON Oh, hey, you got to. You got to. ELIZABETH Yeah, I know. Too much work. JACKSON Yeah, tell me about it. ELIZABETH What do you do? JACKSON Um. I'm a- I'm an intern for, um, Sam Nunn, the senator. ELIZABETH Oh, I know Sam. JACKSON You do? ELIZABETH Well, not directly, but he works with some people in my firm. JACKSON Oh. Well, which firm is that? ELIZABETH McAlraith. JACKSON Yeah, I think I- Yeah, I've heard of them. Um, what is it- what is it you guys do again? ELIZABETH Consulting. Which no one ever really knows what that means, but uh, corporate strategizing, management advice. JACKSON Okay. So, what-what does all have to do with senator Nunn? ELIZABETH Well, someone has to tell him what to do. I'm kidding. Sort of. JACKSON Yeah. Right. ELIZABETH So, your friends don't like foreign films? JACKSON Uh, no, no. Not really. ELIZABETH Yeah. I was the same when I was younger. I always had to go alone. So, you planning on getting into politics? JACKSON Uh Not-Not really my thing. I'm just, uh I'm just kind of here for the semester. Putting off going home to work for my dad. ELIZABETH What's he do? JACKSON We make pavement sealers and maintenance products. ELIZABETH And you don't find that interesting? JACKSON Uh Well, let's just put it this way, no one in Marietta, Georgia is going to Rififi. ELIZABETH Right. JACKSON But, you know, it's not- it's not like they're backwards. It's just kind of, like, a very small town. ELIZABETH Yeah. JACKSON Kind of like the, uh. The one big family trip we took was to, like, London once when I was 15. ELIZABETH That must've been exciting. JACKSON Yeah. Yeah, that I came back home with an English accent. ELIZABETH JACKSON Yeah, you know, Dad couldn't stop talking about how they drive on the wrong side of the street. I'm telling you. ELIZABETH You know what? You should give me a call. McAlraith's a cool place. Your dad would be really impressed with the business side of it. But we also figure out ways to bring culture to corporations. Make them more human. And we've got a great management training program. JACKSON Really? ELIZABETH Yeah. And besides, us film nerds need to stick together. JACKSON ELIZABETH What's your name? JACKSON Oh, it's Jackson Barber. ELIZABETH Give me a call, Jackson. Excuse me, sir. STAVOS Uh, you wanted to see me, Mr. Philip? PHILIP Yeah. Um. Have a seat. Um. As you know we've been under pressure lately. And the bottom line is. STAVOS I-I know this. PHILIP You do? STAVOS I know you, Mr. Philip. I see stress on your face all the time. PHILIP Yeah, it's. It's been a hard year. Really hard. I'm gonna have to let some people go. STAVOS Oh. No. PHILIP I've been over the books a thousand times. There's no way around it. And I wanted you to be one of the first to hear because you've been here a long time, and I think of you as a friend, Stavos. STAVOS Wait, uh. Me? You-- You're firing me? PHILIP You and Lacy and Steve. I-I looked at everyone, and I just had to see who wasn't pulling their weight on the sales side. I'm- I'm so sorry, Stavos. HENRY Hey, where are you going? They got me outnumbered. PHILIP I have to take a shower. PAIGE But we'll be done by then. Just wash your hands. Mom, can you preheat the oven, 350? ELIZABETH PAIGE We need to make them into crumbs. ELIZABETH Hello? This is Mrs. Jennings. All right, thank you. That was work. I have to go. PAIGE We can handle the rest. ELIZABETH I'll be back as soon as I can. CLAUDIA We have someone in Chicago just send an emergency signal. He's under surveillance. See if you can get him out. Apparently he's been working on whatever it is you're working on. Mexico. It means he can't get arrested. ELIZABETH Bulgaria isn't gonna happen. Philip wouldn't do it. CLAUDIA We need to talk strategy about Nesterenko as soon as you get back. ELIZABETH I may have someone in Sam Munn's office. CLAUDIA Good. PHILIP Where are you going? ELIZABETH Chicago. PHILIP Now? That's not gonna look good. It's Thanksgiving. ELIZABETH Figure it out. PHILIP What's going on? We should talk because it better not to let bad feelings fester. ELIZABETH You take your Forum bullshit and you can shove it up your ass. One of us is in trouble in Chicago, Philip. I'm going there to help him. Someone who's doing his job. Someone who still gives a shit. PAIGE You sure I can't come? ELIZABETH It would raise too much suspicion at Stan's. PAIGE Should I. ELIZABETH Houston, business emergency. PAIGE Okay. ELIZABETH I'll see you when I get back. PAIGE Bye, Mom. STAN Mmm. So, how is going at school? HENRY It's good. You know, there's classes, hockey, the usual. STAN Girls. HENRY Eh. STAN Oh, anyone, uh. HENRY Well, I dated this one girl for a bit, but didn't really last long. STAN Oh, why not? HENRY I have no idea. You want to come up and interrogate her, though? JANINE The wine's poured. DENNIS We put the baby to sleep. RENEE Did he help? JANINE Are you kidding? DENNIS I coached. RENEE Oh, and, Dennis, uh, thanks for putting in a good word. DENNIS Oh, sure. JANINE Is this about the job? RENEE Yeah. JANINE I can't believe it. Dennis told me. You want to go to the dark side? STAN That's what I said. STAN Hey. PAIGE Happy Thanksgiving. STAN Thanks. Come in. Come in. PHILIP Thanks. Thanks, Stan. STAN Oh, thank you. PHILIP Yeah. RENEE Hey, perfect timing. Where's Elizabeth? PHILIP Hi. Oh, on her way to Houston. RENEE Oh, no. STAN Oh, what happened? PHILIP We have this client organize a big family reunion and the damn airline stranded uncle somebody, cousin whoever, in Atlanta. He's pissed. He's a CEO, one of our biggest clients. He's trying to drop us. He finally agreed to meet her, but she has to fly down there, so. STAN Oh, that's too bad. PHILIP Yeah. STAN I know how it is when work gets in the way. RENEE We'll make sure she gets leftovers, at least. PHILIP Great. RENEE All right. Everybody to the table. PHILIP Wow. STAN STAN Uh, hi. Hi, everybody. I'm sorry not everyone could be here today. But I am grateful to be with friends. And family. Grateful for everything we have in this country. You know, not everyone around the world wants us to be able to live in peace and freedom. But aren't those the things the pilgrims came here for in the first place? If you ask me, we should all be willing to fight to hold on to them. Because there are people out there who don't like our way of life. They're afraid of it. Of us. And we have an administration right now- president Regan and his people- they know that the only way to get to peace is to stand firm against those who wish us harm. And believe me, they do wish us harm. Make no mistake about that. Happy Thanksgiving. ALL Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. PHILIP Cheers. STAN Okay. Let's eat. RENEE All right. STAN Sweet potatoes? PAIGE Yes, thank you. ELIZABETH I think this is our best bet. I wish this commute was a little less straightforward. It makes it easy for them to cover. But we should be able to get them right here. MARILYN This plan. I don't know. Just between us, what are the chances we'll pull this off? ELIZABETH Not great. MARILYN You should get Erica more patchouli oil. ELIZABETH Patchouli oil? MARILYN She likes having her feet rubbed with it. ELIZABETH She let you touch her feet? You should get some rest. We both should. MARILYN Yeah. STAN DENNIS How's it going? STAN Oh. We got 50 guys spread out in the seven offices working the phones. Don't ever buy your car from Pennysaver. It's not a completely reputable bunch. DENNIS Yeah, we just need one hit. Hey, listen, can you handle this without Samuels? I need him to help at the priests. STAN Priests? DENNIS Yeah, they saw Harvest meeting with a Russian Orthodox priest last week, so we're looking at the ones around here. STAN Okay. DENNIS Hey. Yesterday, that- that was nice. STAN Yeah. DENNIS Sorry about the rug. STAN Oh, it'll come out. Renee is so crazy about Calvin, he could pour a bowl of soup on the rug, she wouldn't mind. DENNIS So, y-you guys thinking maybe. STAN Ah. We're pretty old, Dennis. AGENT BROOKS Emily's sweet potatoes. STAN Mmm. Finally. HENRY Hello? ELIZABETH Hi, it's Mom. HENRY Hey, Mom. Uh, Dad's not home right now. ELIZABETH That-That's okay. I'm calling for you. HENRY Uh Oh. Uh, great. Okay. How's Houston? ELIZABETH Hot. How's everything there? HENRY Cold. But it's better than New Hampshire. ELIZABETH Well, how-how's everything going? HENRY It's okay. School's good. It can be great sometimes, and a drag others. ELIZABETH Do you have a favorite class this year? HENRY Uh American Lit, I guess. But we're reading a book right now called Walden, and it is literally the most boring book ever written. ELIZABETH I ne- I never read it. HENRY Well, it's about this guy who sits at a pond. And just thinks about how boring it is. ELIZABETH Why do they have you read that? HENRY I don't know. It's important literature, apparently. ELIZABETH You got any girlfriends? HENRY Uh, working on it. ELIZABETH Well, uh. Okay. HENRY Yeah. ELIZABETH Yeah. Okay. Good night, Henry. HENRY Good night. PHILIP Is that the last piece? HENRY Second to last. PHILIP Whew. HENRY Oh, Mom called. PHILIP What'd she say? HENRY She called for me. PHILIP Oh. That's nice. HENRY Yeah. But she was asking about, like, school and the weather. It was weird. Because she never really calls me. We barely ever talk, but all of the sudden she's calling me from a business trip and asking me about English class. I don't know. Whatever. I just really don't understand why she's so unhappy. PHILIP What? HENRY I don't understand why she's so unhappy. She has a nice life, right? PHILIP Yeah. I think so. ELIZABETH Hello? PHILIP Hi. ELIZABETH Hi. Is everything okay? PHILIP Yeah, I was, uh, was just calling to see if everything's all right. ELIZABETH I don't know. Not really. PHILIP What do you mean? ELIZABETH It's just a, uh, hard one. PHILIP You might lose the client? ELIZABETH I'm not sure I could accomplish what I came her for without. It's just gonna be tough. PHILIP Without what? ELIZABETH More help. PHILIP Are you asking me to come? ELIZABETH I'll handle it. This is my side of the business. PHILIP I don't that's been working these last few months and he's not the only client in the world. Why don't you come home? ELIZABETH What's happened to you? PHILIP Nothing. Still the same asshole as always, who doesn't care about anyone but himself, right? ELIZABETH I'm not coming home. PHILIP Okay. I'll come. ELIZABETH N-Nobody's asking you to do that. PHILIP I know. Just sit tight. I'm on my way.
