The Americans

Previously on "the Americans"...

Philip: Gabriel said something about getting stuff from level 4.

I don't have access to level 4.

Yeah. We're working on getting you the access code.

Patty. Right?

Um, young-hee from Mary Kay.

Of course.

Philip: How'd it go?

Good. It was different.

It was fun.

Thank you.

What we do

Isn't so different from what you do.

I know what spies do.

You are going to go to bible study every week

So that not a day goes by

Without you seeing pastor Tim and his wife.

Because, thanks to what you did,

That is all that stands between us

And this family being destroyed.

I'm going to talk to the centre.

I'm going to tell them that it's time we ease up on you two.

No new operations.

This will be the closest you two have ever come to a vacation.

Okay, so, where should your hands be?

10:00 and 2:00.

Good. Adjust your mirrors.

Can you see behind you?

Yes.

How about this?

Uh... Good.

Okay, so, now we're gonna turn on the car.

Put your right foot on the brake.

Push all the way down.

Turn the ignition.

Great. That's enough for today.

Dad! Okay, okay, okay.

So, put the shifter in drive.

Slowly take your foot off the brake.

Oh, my god. I'm driving.

No, you're gliding.

So lightly... lightly...

Put your foot on the accelerator.

Little more gas.

Soft hands, Paige.

You don't have to hold the wheel so tight.

Just...

Dad!

You can't distract me like that.

Okay, put the shifter in park.

Dad, this car is so big and... and so long.

You know, I-I think I would do better

If I was in, like, a small...

Get the Camaro out of your mind.

Okay.

Okay. Right. Eyes on the road.

Hands at 10:00 and 2:00.

Relax.

Wait. She left for good?

Oh, no.

Every year, she going back to Korea for one month

To visit the family there.

Whenever she is gone,

Everything just

but this time, it is so worse.

My kids, they're going crazy.

They do. All of a sudden, everything is, "why, why, why?"

All the time... "why?"

First, it was just sue,

But now all three of them doing like that.

"why I have to do this?

Why I cannot wear that? Why I have to do that?"

They're just seeing how much they can get away with.

Ohh, they will not avoid punishment for anything

When their grandmother is back.

She is old-fashioned like my mother.

She will not let them get away with anything.

She will make them stand still for their spanking

Before they even think to ask a question.

My mother was a tough one, too.

My mother was so creative with her punishment...

Never the same way two time.

One day, bend the knees, pinch your ear,

And jump up and down in a circle.

I almost like that one.

I pretend I was a frog.

Oh, me and don, we too soft.

We just say, "no TV one week." right.

Anyway...

What I...

what happened now?

Hi, don.

Sorry.

Uh, tell me, anything new?

Nothing much.

Oh, come on.

I have to always ask before you tell me anything!

No, really, things have been quiet for a change.

Yeah? Yeah.

I mean, I don't...

Fight with my dad as much when he calls.

I don't know why.

Don't matter why. Enjoy.

I will.

I am.

That was great. That was great.

I'm... I'm... I'm just gonna go and throw up.

Dad, stop. That was really great.

No, no, no, you...

Really, you were... You were great.

You're a driver.

I guess.

Hey.

The committee for the church's Ethiopia trip

Is having their last meeting next week.

Sort of a send-off for pastor Tim

And the other people he's going with.

Yeah, you should go to that.

We should all go to that.

Pastor Tim likes seeing us together.

It makes him think we're...

I don't know...

More normal.

Good shot.

Game. You want to go again?

Just give me a sec.

Ohh.

You're on fire lately.

You been taking vitamins or something?

Just getting more sleep.

How you managing that?

We, uh...

We let go of a few accounts a while back.

Made things easier.

Less money made things easier?

Some clients aren't worth the hassle.

Should've been a travel agent.

Should've been a lot of things.

You all right?

Tori and I broke up.

I'm sorry to hear that.

That's okay.

I liked her a lot, but...

She...

She just wasn't Sandra, you know?

You want to go again?

Uh...

Uh, I got to get going.

My new boss hits the goddamn roof

If we're five minutes late.

There's this group of guys, the munchkins.

They're always running after the director, Webster.

They walk like him, talk like him.

They even dress like him.

My new boss is a prime example.

Kiss ass?

Oh, way beyond.

What happened to your old boss?

He retired.

I just saw him.

He's going on a long trip to Thailand.

Great guy.

Now, he didn't give a shit how we got the job done,

Just long as we stopped the Russians.

Huh.

There was a signal at William's site.

Have you heard from Gabriel?

Why would William signal us without telling Gabriel first?

I don't know, but we should go.

He wouldn't want to meet

Unless he was sure he could get clean.

I'll signal Hans.

Might be your best look yet.

My source at the FBI is in Moscow now.

You got her to Moscow?

You think she'll be able to, uh, adapt?

She's alive.

She's free.

Free.

Can't remember. What's that feel like?

They've got me on a regular schedule now...

Three-man team once every two weeks, like clockwork.

They're not suspicious or they'd be on me a lot more.

I keep stumbling into teams

That are covering other guys at the lab.

Where have you been?

They told me all communication should go

Through Gabriel or the centre, not you.

We've been on a break.

A break?

We get breaks?

Things were...

We needed time.

We've been maintaining a couple of agents,

But nothing big for... Seven months.

Ah.

Well...

Sorry to interrupt your vacation.

We just got something new in from fort Derrick...

A modified strain of the Lassa virus.
