The Americans

Previously on "The Americans"...

Elizabeth: He met with Kate. I saw him with her.

Maybe they're just a step ahead of us.

They're supposed to be taking care of him.

It's not you that I want.

It's the scumbags who killed my friends.

I understand it's some sort of computer program,

But that's all I know.

And the fact that the KGB wants to get their hands on it.

They want us to move on something -- now.

Paint samples they use on a stealth aircraft.

They make radar-absorbent paint, and we need a sample.

We have shoes with special soles

That would pick up traces of what we need.

What the hell is going on here?

When you deliver the echo program to me,

I will let Nina Sergeevna go free.

And you two love birds can fly off together.

Philip: Here you go.

Anywhere on the factory floor, 45 seconds.

The paint dust is microscopic.

You won't see it, but it's everywhere.

Got it. And more isn't better.

Just get what you need and move on.

When you get back to your car, put them in here.

There's a dumpster on rockland between 11th and 12th.

Just throw them in there, then call from a phone booth

Five blocks down on purchase and 11th.

This is the number for this phone booth here.

You look ready. Are you ready?

I'm ready.

Great.

We'll wait for your call.

Good luck.

What's going on with you?

Are you kidding?

N-- it's not just that.

I know you.

Something else is going on with you.

Well, maybe you just don't know me as well as you think.

Dispatcher: 46 alpha. Copy.

What do you want to do about Paige?

I don't know.

I mean, she's 14.

She's...Going to give us a hard time.

I can't believe she's in pennsylvania by herself.

When I was 14, my mother had diphtheria.

I took care of her for 10 months.

No one helped me.

I went to school. I --

That must have been hard.

There were these gangs in tobolsk

For years after the war.

And I used to have to get milk from halfway across the city.

And, sometimes, I'd get...Jumped on the way back.

I was a couple years younger than Henry is now.

And one day, I noticed this kid following me,

And I recognized him from the week before,

Which meant the others were waiting ahead.

And I just decided, "that's it. No more."

So I turned around, I double-backed, and --

Attention, all units. And --

127 zone, shots fired at 5327 industry concourse boulevard.

Officer: This is 42-alpha, dispatch.

Suspect has exited building -- possibly wounded.

Location unknown.

Suspect is described as white, middle-aged male,

Balding, medium to heavy build. Go.

Stop, stop, stop!

Hello?

I did it. I got it.

I-I-I'm -- I'm shot.

Are you at the phone booth we talked about?

Yes, and I...Put what you wanted where we said.

Were you followed?

No. No.

I don't --

Oh, my god. I'm bleeding.

The, uh, guard stopped me.

I didn't have a pass for the floor.

He grabbed me. I pushed him.

And I ran.

there's a lot of blood.

Stay where you are. We'll be right there.

He dropped the package. He's at the phone booth.

North, south sides of location clear.

Units converge on east 10th to east 15th.

Copy that on east 10th.

Go.

¶ it's 2 a.M. ¶

All: no more nukes! No more nukes!

¶ the gun's still warm ¶

¶ maybe my connection ¶

¶ is tired of taking chances ¶

Copy that.

¶ yeah, there's a storm on the loose ¶

¶ sirens in my head ¶

¶ wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead ¶

¶ cannot decode ¶

¶ my whole life spins into a frenzy ¶

¶ and he says ¶

¶ help, I'm stepping into the twilight zone ¶

¶ place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned ¶

¶ my beacon's been moved under moon and star ¶

¶ where am I to go now that I've gone too far? ¶

¶ whoa, oh ¶

¶ help, I'm stepping into the twilight zone ¶

¶ place is a madhouse ¶

¶ feels like being cloned ¶

¶ my beacon's been moved under moon and star ¶

¶ where am I to go now that I've gone too far? ¶

44 alpha. He got it.

Suspect appears to be in a phone booth

At the corner of purchase and 11th.

Copy that, 44 alpha.

¶ soon, you will come to know ¶

¶ when the bullet hits the bone ¶

¶ when the bullet hits the bone ¶

[ police radio chatter, siren wailing ]

Officer #2: You have the suspect, charlie?

Uh, suspect in custody -- bleeding bad. We need emt.

Okay, paramedics are three minutes out.

Uh, he's code gray.

Get the coroner out here. He's gone.

¶ when the bullet hits the bone ¶

¶ when the bullet hits the bone ¶

I appreciate your concern, Agent Beeman,

But I can assure you there's no way

The soviets can get near echo.

It's not on the arpanet?

No. There is only one place where it runs.

It's here.

single-compartmented vault.

one mainframe.

Well, I want to interview anyone who works with the program...

...Review their security files.

D.O.D. Security reviewed all our personnel

Less than a month ago.

Can't you just, uh, review those reports?

All right. All right.

Just trying to save a little time.

You want to meet them, I can set it up.

thank you.

what about copies of the program?

There are three disks in the world,

Each kept in an e.M.P.-Grade hardened safe...

Like this one.

So, this is it, huh?

That's it.

There's a copy at cheyenne mountain

And another in a location I don't know about,

So I can't tell you about it.

But I don't think the KGB can find it

Without kidnapping the president.

And what exactly is on this disk?

Code.

Code?

[ keyboard clacks,

Hard to believe the future of the free world

Rests on all those numbers and symbols, huh?

Yeah.

It was amazing.

Two other church groups were there.

Everyone was marching and singing.

And not just at the base we were at.

People were protesting at bases all over the country.

And was it, uh, peaceful? No problems?

We were peaceful.

I mean, we were there to protest for peace.

But the police -- you should have seen them.

They didn't care.

There were police? Cool!

It wasn't cool, Henry. It was --

Pastor tim got arrested.

What?

How did he get arrested?

Well, he chained himself to the gate -- to keep them

From moving their trucks and their weapons in and out.

Well, chaining yourself to the gate of an army base

Is a pretty good way to make sure you get arrested.

It's called civil disobedience, dad.

We know what civil disobedience is.

I'm not talking about the idea of it.

I'm talking about doing it, making a difference.

I don't expect you to understand.

Paige, we let you go.

This moved me, okay?

I mean, this is the whole point of the church.

It's not all about just jesus and the bible.

It's about what he represents --

That he was willing to sacrifice himself.

look, I-I'm sorry.

I know you don't want to hear this, but...

He was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

And that inspires me.

They in bed?

Out like a light.

I don't think she slept the whole trip.

If she said one more thing about nonviolent resistance,

I was gonna punch her in the face.
