PONIES

Previously, on Ponies ...

Tom was the mole

the one that got Chris killed.

You tell me now, when I'm dealing with Andrei.

I have to seduce him, which, of course, for you

isn't a big deal because sex doesn't matter.

But I still have feelings.

With all the foreigners in town

for the Elton John concert

they must be doing an operation at the hotel tonight.

Our objective is replacing

one of the KGB tapes

with a tape of our own. Our tape

has a tracking device hidden in it.

This is how we figure out

the location of the Kompromat facility.

It's five in the morning.

I nearly shot you.

Why... why would you have shot us?

I mean, didn't you look through the peephole?

Yes. What do you need?

No, no. We shouldn't talk here. We should talk elsewhere.

- Yeah. - I'll see you in the Bubble in five.

Yeah. It was a... a much bigger operation than we thought.

I mean, they must record, what

dozens of these blackmail tapes?

And that's just at this one hotel.

They're gonna have to move 'em somewhere, today.

Good analysis.

Thank you.

What about you?

Did Vasiliev give you anything last night?

You better believe he gave her something last night.

Twila.

What? Are we not supposed

to talk about what he gave to Bea?

I might have some usable intelligence

yes. He implied

that he had his own blackmail operation going.

I think he's targeting

powerful Soviets

and manipulating them with what he has on them.

Which is how he's been able

to move up so fast in the KGB

If there's a connection here, this could be why

some of the prostitutes are being murdered, while others aren't.

That's because he's the one killing 'em.

Just keep doing what you've been doing, Bea.

Maintain your connection.

Her connection with a fuckin' psycho killer?

He's a valuable asset

and he remains a valuable asset.

Keep him close.

Ray, did you get your tracker into any of those cameras?

Yes, sir. I'm gonna follow it this morning.

You can't. You can't go back

to that hotel. You'll catch a tail.

You're gonna have to do it.

We need you to find the Kompromat facility, today.

So, this thing beeps when?

When the tracker gets close.

I mean, the tapes are probably... probably in the hotel

and then just going into one of those two trucks.

So

you know, Tom and Chris died

looking for this place. This...

This facility.

I'm just saying

- we could also... - Yeah, yeah. I know.

Yeah.

- Hey, I'm sorry... - So, I had sex with...

- What... - Go on. No... no.

Absolutely not. You first.

You had sex with who?

A woman.

The mean lady at the market?

She's not that mean.

I mean, she is. She's...

Yeah, she's mean.

- Okay. - Yeah.

I mean, did you... like, I mean, what...

You... you were gonna say something.

What... what were you gonna say?

Yeah. Okay, right, sure.

So, I mean, I... I should've said this earlier.

I... I just, I'm... I'm sorry.

As you may have noticed

I have some issues with control.

If I agree with you, it'll ruin the moment.

So just continue.

Okay. It was just finding out

I was being lied to after so long.

It just made me feel so powerless.

And it... and it fucked me up.

And then I took it out on you

and I... and I never should have.

And I am just so sorry.

Okay?

I am too.

I mean, I'm...

I'm sorry too.

Yeah. You know, I should've told you about Tom

- the second I found out. - No, no.

- I don't know why I didn't. I... - No, no. Not at all.

No, no. You just...

You didn't want me to blame you for what he did

which, knowing me, I might've done that.

Thanks for saying that.

I know you think that I judge you.

That I think that I'm, like, superior to you.

- But, really, I don't. - I know.

Twila, you have to know that I don't think that.

No, no. It's okay if you do think that.

'Cause you are, you know, a little bit superior to me

- in certain aspects. So... - Well...

If I agree with you, I'll ruin the moment.

So, you had sex with a woman.

Yeah, I did, yeah.

- Okay? - Yeah.

You... you wanna hear about it?

- Oh. Oh, yeah. - In detail?

- I mean, yeah. I can... - You can handle that?

Oh my god, of course I can handle it, yes.

I went to Wellesley, you know?

- Come on. - Okay.

- Hit me. - Okay.

So, you know

I've never eaten pussy before.

But not to toot my own horn

but I think I was pretty good at it

for my first time.

I mean, Ivanna seemed to enjoy it.

- Yeah. - Get... Whoa!

- Okay. - Okay.

- Which truck? Which... - Maybe... maybe it's...

Maybe it's both of them?

- Okay. - Oh, shit.

Wait.

It's not on the trucks.

It's the ambulance.

Shit.

Okay. Okay.

- Yeah, okay. - Yeah, it's happening. Yeah.

- Yeah, there it is. Okay. - Yeah.

- Drive, drive, drive! - Okay.

Shit.

You're really good at this.

At what? What, what, what, driving?

Yeah, the way that you're like, weaving

- in and around everyone - Yeah.

Without even caring who you're pissing off.

Who cares if you piss people off?

I mean, they're strangers. I mean

you gotta... you gotta be pushy in life

or you're not gonna get anywhere. You know?

Twila! Did you learn how to say

"go fuck yourself" in Russian?

I learned it from you. The day we met, remember?

Goodbye, my love.

Can we say bye-bye to Mama? Bye, bye, bye!

Bye, bye.

Wow. You look nice

to be serving a child cornflakes?

I know, it is a bit much. But

I have spent half my compensation on this

and I have never had a chance to wear it.

What better reason is him?

Okay.

Elton John?

Mister Ray offered me your ticket

to the concert tonight.

I hope that is still okay.

Of course

yeah. It was my idea.

Thank you, Missus Szymanski.

Thank you.

Welcome to West Germany.

Jesus Christ, that's him.

You think he saw us?

No, I don't think so.

What's he doing?

Wait, that... that's Andrei's wife.

Damn.

She's a fox.

She even makes Russian clothes look decent.

That package looks important. We should find out what it is.

Yeah, but how? We have to follow the ambulance.

Well, we should do both.

That is probably how Andrei is funnelling out

his blackmail on the Russians

through his wife.

- Right. Okay. - Okay. She knows what I look like.

So you follow her.

- Okay. - And I'll follow the ambulance.

- I'll get to the Kompromat facility. - No. No

Bea. I mean, if Andrei sees you, even for a second...

I mean, we know how dangerous this guy is now. He could...

- Kill me? I know... I know. But - Yeah.

This is what I came back for

answers.
