The Americans

Previously on "the Americans"...

Directorate "s" undercover agents

supposedly hiding all over the U.S.

Super-secret identities...

No one has any idea who they are.

Oh, hi. You came!

Just for a second, to bring over brownies

and welcome you to the neighborhood.

What do you do, Stan?

I'm an FBI agent.

When we got here, I was 22 years old.

Living in a strange house

in a strange country with a strange man.

It never really happened for us.

You're separating?

It's time you and your source

started having your meetings in a safe house.

That is our own private cabana.

I appreciate what you're trying to do.

It's not gonna fix anything.

Big day at FBI counterintelligence?

They were in the secure vault all day.

Did you get a look inside this time?

There's one move we could make.

We put a bug in gaad's office.

Martha could do it.

No knock on your charms there, Romeo,

but there's no way she'll go for that.

I pronounce you man and wife.

I'm in love with you,

and I would do anything for you.

Mom. What are you doing?

What are you doing? Laundry.

You're doing laundry in the middle of the night?

We know that we're looking for

a Caucasian man and woman. It's a couple.

Take them!

It's okay. Look at me. Look at me!

Her great-aunt? She fell down the stairs.

Elizabeth may stay up for a while and take care of her.

I wish they'd listen to me.

I'll be all right.

Hey... If you ever need me again...

We let them have Kabul for now,

attack their supply routes using small units,

- always moving fast. - Right.

Well, I told the coordinating committee

what you asked for,

and the response was very positive.

Of course, they need to clear about 15 other committees

every time we go over a million dollars.

Look, boys, we know you're good in her at.

The question is, how do we help you out in panjshir?

We have a route on the rukha...

On the saricha road.

You get the weapons to us

from across the border, we do the rest.

Right.

We love America.

With your guidance and with the help of Allah,

we will drive the godless Soviets from Afghanistan.

And we are gonna be there for you every step of the way.

Money, guns...

America is gonna get you whatever you need, salar.

It's good to have the same enemy.

Yes, it is.

This blade is my gift to you.

I killed a Russian soldier with it.

It was the first man I ever killed.

It was hard, but it has gotten easier.

We'll kill every heathen come to humiliate us

on our own land.

Really?

Aah!

You tell your brothers back in Afghanistan

there is a message for them.

America can't protect you, Allah can't protect you,

and the kgb is everywhere.

You Russians have no idea who you're...

It's okay.

Aah!

You ready?

Mom!

Happy birthday, Henry!

Don't jump on your mother! You're getting too big now.

I miss being jumped on.

Mwah!

You look older to me.

I am.

Does our house look the same?

Yeah. We painted the living room black.

Stop it. You did not.

Yeah, we did.

Happy birthday!

Something like real food before cake.

Okay, okay. What do you want? Hot dog?

I'll have a hot dog, yeah.

Okay. One hot dog, please.

Thanks. For the birthday boy.

Okay, here you go.

Well, maybe next year, you know?

Hopefully you can afford it,

because this is your 100% refund.

Wow. I really wasn't expecting anything back.

Definitely not all of it.

Well, I'm just sorry it took so long,

but the airline has this whole voucher b.S.,

so it takes forever, but that's no reason

to pay for a trip you're not gonna go on.

Thanks. I definitely owe you one.

It's great she's back, huh?

You have no idea.

It's good to see you guys together again.

Just give it time.

I'm sure you'll get there.

Yeah.

It's 12 times more powerful than your old one.

Oh!

It's great.

Well, that didn't sound very convincing. No.

No, no, it is, it is. Thank you.

It's just not intellivision. Hey!

Wait. What are you talking about?

Henry keeps begging dad for this video game.

Yeah, which rots your brain, turns it into this.

Hmph. And you wanted a new telescope.

I know.

Let's go set it up in my room.

Oh, you know what?

Uh, maybe tomorrow night?

Abby's gonna be here in 15 minutes.

Why?

I'm gonna take your mom out on a date.

Tonight? It's my birthday.

I know. We're gonna do a whole Henry weekend, sweetheart.

Yeah. It will be really fun.

Promise. We just need a little time.

Don't you want mom and dad to go out on a date?

Yeah. I missed her, too, pal.

I did.

Oh, gross.

Come on, Paige.

Air force security. Let's see your hands. Yeah, move.

Nice and slow, nice and slow, nice and slow, now.

What?! Get your clothes. Move.

Nice and slow. Easy, easy. Come on.

This way. Move, move.

Back it up.

Roy oatway, Roy oatway, air force security.

Come on. Take a breath.

You're fine. Calm down.

Roy, you're fine. Look at me. Look at me.

Take 'em to lockup.

Nobody interrogate 'em till we get back.

I haven't done anything.

Let me ask you a question, Roy.

When you were in high school, in Topeka,

did two cheerleaders ever ask you

to go at it with them under the bleachers?

When you were at m.I.T., did two gorgeous women

ever pick you up at a bar, take you home,

and screw your brains out?

It's a question, Roy. It's a real question.

No.

What about when you were chief budget officer

for bendix corporation,

overseeing anti lock-brake technology?

How many babes were you banging then, Roy?

Um... not a lot.

What do you think's so different about tonight, Roy?

New Cologne?

Or is it just since

you started working for lockheed?

Do you think it could have some connection

to your security clearance and the skunk works project

they're working on for the d.O.D.?

I-I didn't tell them anything.

You're lucky we got here.

Am I under arrest?

No, Roy, you're not under arrest.

We're not here to arrest you.

We're here to protect you

and your company

and the interests of the United States military,

but you're gonna have to be more careful from now on.

So this is what we're gonna do.

We're gonna take apart, we're gonna reconstruct

every step of your security protocol,

starting right here, right now.

You are gonna be scrupulous about your phone logs,

report every new suspicious social encounter,

especially when you're traveling.

And you're gonna switch out the codes

on your office safe and briefcase

to a rotating-number system we give you

that's gonna change every six weeks.

Okay?

You're fine.

Put your clothes on.

Well, you'd never know it.
