The Americans

He's a very good listener.

He's not...

He's actually funny.

He just doesn't know everything that's going on.

Seriously? The president?

At this level, there aren't that many people he can trust.

How do I know you're not making all this up?

Oh, my God.

So handsome.

The things I'm telling you...

you don't joke around about.

It could be dangerous.

Dangerous.

You know, most people...

they get into their warm beds at night.

They have no idea what really goes on out there.

The sheer number of people working to destroy our way of life.

And you know why I've dedicated my life to stopping them?

Why?

Because...

Because...

Are you ready for this?

Bus departing for Philadelphia...

Bus number 417, southbound local, is delayed approximately 15 minutes.

I don't know. Think about something else.

Take deep breaths.

I don't know. It's just...

They used to tell stories about this guy, killed a lot of people.

You know how guys like him kill people?

They plan it for weeks and they always come up from behind.

Fighting face to face, that's a different story.

I heard once, he got in a bar fight with the entire Japanese Olympic judo team.

He took out four of them before the rest of them ran.

Which year? Because '64 to '72 are pussies. They didn't even medal.

Need to look out your living room window for a few minutes?

- Time? - Minus 22.

No, what time is it?

It's 9:15.

Capitals are in L.A. Start soon.

- Follow the NHL? - I like football.

She's in. Third floor, three east.

He's at the corner.

Immigration. We just wanna talk.

Help! Help!

Help!

Don't get too close.

Watch the corner.

I know you're not supposed to kill me.

I don't think you understand how unpopular you are.

I could deliver you in a hundred pieces.

They'd give me a separate medal for each one.

You're not police. He's not police.

- You're not police. - You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say or do will... Can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Hey, hey. Keep your eyes open.

All right. It's okay. Deep breaths.

Look at me. Rob? Rob?

Keep your eyes on me.

Heavy bleeding. He's got 10, 15 minutes.

Arlington Methodist on 66 to the Beltway to the drop site.

We blew our window, we won't make it.

Parkway to the Beltway. He dies, then 50/50 we miss the handoff anyway.

No, the mission comes first.

- I can help you. I can make you rich. - Shut up.

You go in a John Doe.

If you live, do not go back to Boston, assume they're on to you.

All right? You gotta walk from here.

You were trained to surmount any obstacle. Go.

- Back is clear. - Time?

Minus 7.

There's another way. Listen to me. We can all sit down...

Shut up!

Why is everyone so punctual in this business?

Counterintelligence is the place you wanna be.

What's it take to rob a bank?

Finger in your pocket, say, "Give me your money."

In Cl, we're up against the most sophisticated enemy in the world.

I'll tell you one thing about bank robbers, they speak English.

They got me in Beginning Russian four days a week.

You got an ear for languages?

I had a very attractive French teacher one year in high school. I got a B plus.

- Oh, coffee. - Oh, just what I need.

We getting started soon, boss?

Timoshev isn't here. He's 20 minutes late.

Maybe a little too much vodka last night.

I have been working with him since he defected.

He hasn't been 20 seconds late for anything.

Where is he coming in from?

I don't know. He only deals with the director and the AG.

I don't know where he stayed last night.

Mormon.

Since Reagan got elected, he starts this meeting at 7 a.m.

- Reagan's not a Mormon. - Fundamentalist. The goal's the same.

To wear down the enemy by waking up earlier than they do.

Who's Timoshev?

He's this ex-KGB colonel.

Blew the whistle on Directorate S undercover agents supposedly hiding all over the U.S.

Super-secret identities, no one has any idea who they are.

- What, you don't buy it? - There's not a single piece of evidence.

We get these guys like Timoshev, right?

They come over, get resettlement packages.

We're talking millions of dollars.

They say things to us to justify it. They make up stories to make us happy.

Spies living next door, they look like us. Speak better English than we do.

According to Timoshev, they're not allowed to say a word in Russian here.

I mean, come on, someone's been reading too many spy novels.

Talking figment of the imagination.

You understand, you make any noise, I will kill you immediately.

FBI paid me $3 million when I came off...

and more since as a consultant. You can get twice that.

Three million as the most valued of defectors.

Directorate S officer.

Another 3 for returning me.

Just go to the FBI...

Car won't start.

I have to take the bus to the metro.

- Oh, Dad. - Yeah?

Maruk got two goals and an assist last night versus L.A.

Did they win?

No, it was a tie.

I'm not going in today.

So you're gonna have to handle Portland Rotary and call Swiss Air.

You know how much they pay that asshole? Three million dollars.

Henry was looking for his skateboard. It's not in the garage, is it?

No.

- Let's go, Henry. - Oh, okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye, guys. - What, no coffee for you?

No, thanks.

- We have to get rid of him. - I coded the message.

I'll drop it on the way to work.

You don't have to stay. He's secure.

There were witnesses.

If they figure it out, they could be looking for him. I'm gonna stay.

You should've built that secret underground chamber in the basement.

The wine cellar you wanted to put in under the laundry room?

I did say it'd have other uses.

Anyway, $3 million.

He can buy himself a diamond-plated coffin.

Pick him up.

Unit prepared to do a show-up.

One-seven, show me out of this location. Show me canvassing.

Multiple callers, unknown direction of flight. Showing broadcasting.

What have you got?

I got a female witness. She saw a guy knock the victim down...

grab the purse and run this way.

Give me that description one more time, please.

I'm getting a description:

Caucasian, dark hair, unknown complexion, unknown age.

If you do have a victim...

have him respond, north end of Dupont Circle.

- All right. Did you notify Parks, Central? - Unit prepared to do a show-up.

Have them notify Parks.

4217, I'm showing them moving in your location.

Yeah.

Harder. Focus.

Yeah. Okay?

Again.

What have we here?

Captain, I did not know you're back.

- You two are working late. - She has great promise.

We are putting in extra work.

Leave us, I will teach her how we do it in the field.

Go.

Now, my dear...

Begin.

I am sorry, captain.

I'm sorry.

- Use the contraction. - I'm sorry.

Now, faster.

Watch.

Don't over commit.

Remember me, captain?

- How's the gang? - Oh, Jughead's in serious trouble.

Okay, well, do some reading and some stirring for me, okay?

- Paige, what are you working on? - Social studies.

Paper on how the Russians cheat on arms control.

That's Henrickson, right?

- Yup. - Yeah.

How can you look at him all day with that harelip?

Mom, that's his handicap.

So, what's the trouble with these guys?

Betty and Veronica were hosting...

- a charity drive. - Yeah.

- I'm home. - Oh, Dad.

- Yeah. - We launched our rocket today in Science.

Manned or unmanned?

Unmanned. Tomorrow we're giving Commander Stafford a plaque...

to commemorate the mission.

Well, I'm sure he'll be very honored. Go look out the window.

Yeah.

I made the drop in the park, no response.

Maybe he can move in with us permanently. I can fix up the spare bedroom for him.

I have a meeting later. We'll know more then.

Holy shit. That's the coolest car ever.

Henry, language.

Don't fall in love, it's a rental until the Oldsmobile is fixed.

I said that word once and you guys grounded me for a week.

Whenever you're ready.

Here we go. Start this up, right here, right now.
