Previously on The Americans...
We want you to find out
what your wife is doing and tell us.
And if you have to -- stop her.
I'm not doing the thing with Kimmy.
I warned her not to go to any Communist countries.
It's over.
We have someone in Chicago. Just sent an emergency signal.
He's been working on whatever it is you're working on.
It means he can't get arrested.
ADERHOLT: Codename, Harvest.
It's been a gold mine.
We've been getting all sorts of intel on how he operates.
We're starting to use it to track down the rest of them.
You should be here.
One of us is in trouble in Chicago, Philip.
Someone who's doing his job.
I'm going there to help him.
There are people out there who don't like our way of life.
The only way to get to peace
is to stand firm against those who wish us harm.
Just between us, what are the chances we'll pull this off?
Not great.
I'm not sure I can accomplish what I came here for
without...more help.
Sit tight. I'm on my way.
(indistinct talking on TV) (laughs)
Oh.
Hey, come on in. Hey.
If you move fast, you might get to the pumpkin pie
before Henry finishes it. (chuckles)
Yeah, I figured he'd be here with the leftovers.
Hey, listen --
um, I'm actually on my way to the airport right now.
Elizabeth's having trouble with that, um, client in Houston.
The guy's a real jerk, so I'm gonna have to go down and help her out.
Oh. Yeah, I know.
Poor kid came all this way home to be with us,
and first his mom leaves, and now...
Yeah, he'll understand.
(sighs) I don't know.
Well, we have enough leftovers for a few days,
so I won't let him starve.
He goes back to school Sunday.
But, um, thanks.
That would be better than frozen pizzas.
Yeah, no problem.
(sighs)
(TV continues, indistinct)
HENRY: Hey, Dad.
PHILIP: Hey.
Henry, I'm -- I'm really sorry, but...
you know the work thing that Mom's dealing with?
It's not going well, so...
I'm gonna have to fly out there and help.
Oh.
Okay.
When are you gonna come back?
Unfortunately...
after you leave.
All right. Hey, don't...
don't worry about it.
Just, uh, have a good trip, and I hope everything works out.
Oh, uh, Stan, hurry up. It's about to start.
Oh, yeah. I'll -- I'll be right there.
All right.
ANNOUNCER ON TV: Police Academy.
(TV continues, indistinct)
All right.
...to serve, and to defend themselves.
(TV continues, indistinct)
Hey.
Is something going on?
What do you mean?
Look, I can tell something's wrong.
Okay, I'm good with these things --
Wh-- What things?
Knowing when somebody's not telling me something.
I'm your friend.
We're like... best friends, okay?
Something's up with you.
(sighs)
I'm worried about this work thing.
Okay.
But it feels like more than that.
You know, I used to ask myself,
why is this guy, and his wife,
coming home at three, four in the morning?
How hard can they possibly work?
What's -- What's driving them?
And even now, I see you, and I wonder --
what is going on with him?
I see your stress level, and I just...
I say this to you as a friend, okay?
Are you involved with something?
(inhales sharply)
Stan --
'Cause if something's going on...
you can trust me.
I've been wanting to tell you.
The business is falling apart.
And I think it might be going under.
Oh.
(sighs)
For how long?
A while.
Oh, man.
I'm so sorry.
I should have told you.
It -- It's terrible.
And I'm embarrassed...
Is Elizabeth going nuts?
Kind of. But you know her.
She's keeping it together.
(sighs)
You should have told me.
I'm there for you.
(sighs)
I know.
Thank you for...
(sighs)
...for everything.
Oh, of course.
I'm here any time.
All right.
**
(knock on door)
**
You look surprised.
I wasn't sure you'd really come.
(lock clicks, chain rattles)
How was your flight?
Fine.
You didn't -- You didn't have to --
It's fine.
Do you want to take a shower
or...
I'm all right.
Are you staying?
(sighs)
Let's get something to eat.
(rock music playing on stereo)
(cash register dings, clacks)

Stan was giving me a hard time.
"Something's wrong. You're not telling me something."
What'd you tell him?
(sighs)
I was worried about the business.
That work?
(sighs) Yeah.
(sighs)
We'll make contact here. It's fifteen minutes off Cicero.
These streets... it's tight.
What does this give us? Thirty seconds?
Give or take.
Hank and Norm will go left, turn off at Rockwell.
We'll meet up with Marilyn on Humboldt, near the park.
Not a single handoff point? You've seen the route.
This is the only street we can get them in the black.
Whew.
Static posts?
Across from his house. And at work.
Maybe on his route, too. I mean, they are all over him.
I've been through this every way.
I feel a lot better about our chances with you here.
STAN: I wish I could drive you to school, myself.
HENRY: (laughing) Yeah.
Well, maybe next time.
Yeah.
Your friend, w-- uh, what does his dad do?
Mr. Gardner? Yeah.
Oh, he does, uh, finance, I think.
I don't know. I just know they're rolling in dough.
Nice work if you can get it.
Yeah.
Fancy car? Mercedes.
Oh. But, uh, he's not driving us.
Mrs. Gardner is.
She has a Cadillac.
Does Mrs. Gardner work? Uh...
yeah, she drives Brandon around whenever he's home,
that's her "occupation."
And what does Mrs. Gardner do when Brandon's not around?
Shops. And she does a lot of food combining.
Food combining?
Yeah, basically, she spends the whole day
figuring out what to eat when.
So, meat. Then fruit. Then bread. And meat again.
You can't have two things in the same meal, apparently.
Well, what'll happen if you do?
I don't know.
(both chuckle)
Must be nice, though. What's that?
Having your mom at your beck and call.
Eh, it would probably get old after a while.
(scoffs) I wouldn't know.
Work has a way of getting in the way, Henry.
Yeah, but does Renee ever miss Thanksgiving
because she had to work?
Not likely, I bet.
Well, your dad was there.
Yeah. He makes an effort, but, I mean, lookit,
he ditches me in the middle of my vacation
and then he leaves you with the bag.
I don't even know why I bother coming home for the holidays.
Don't be too hard on your folks, Henry.
They try, they're not out there "food combining."
(chuckles)
You know, I think he's just stressed 'cause of work.
How's it going -- the business?
Uh, things are not going so great right now.
He told you that?
Yeah.
Seems like whatever came up, must've come up out of the blue.
Must be pretty important.
(scoffs) Always is.
This kind of thing happen a lot?
Look, I mean, business comes first.
You know, when they get a call in the middle of the night,
they run off to work.
You'd think they're brain surgeons.
They ever have you stay with family when they go away?
(chuckles) I think we're a little old for baby sitters, Stan.
Yeah, but, you know, back in the day.
No, not really.
It was usually just me and Paige.
We didn't have much family.
We just have Uncle Stan.
How about your mom's aunt?
That time she went to take care of her sick aunt?
Oh, yeah, Aunt Helen.
You remember that? Yeah.
Yeah, I was on a big case working these crazy hours,
and when it was finally over, your mom was gone.
Hmm.
You spend much time with Aunt Helen?
Oh, no, I never met Aunt Helen.
I think Paige did, though.
I mean, look, at the end of the day,
it's important to take care of your family
when the chips are down.
Can't argue with that.
I don't have that feeling anymore.
Pulling things off.
Don't be ridiculous.
I'm serious.
Philip.
I was called to Mexico, beginning of October...
They gave me an assignment...
and this.
I can't be arrested.
What was so important?
They told me not to tell you.
Why? You quit.
You'd understand if you knew.
Well, then tell me.
I can't.
It's about protecting us.
It's always about protecting us.
No, this is bigger than that.
The guy we're here for, he's working on it, too.
That's why they sent me.
(sighs)
Give it to me.
What would you do with it?
Flush it down the toilet.
No.
Then why did you tell me you had it?
You're always asking me to tell you things.
So I told you.
(indistinct chatter)

I need five guys.
MAN: Right.
Cinco hombres.

Mother's expecting you.

Go ahead. Go ahead!

FBI AGENT #2: Copy that. Maintain visual.

(walkie-talkie clicks) Tango, do you still have Harvest?
I've got a partial view.
Copy that. Pull past, get a visual.
(radio beeps, walkie-talkie clicks)

Shit.
We lost Harvest. Repeat, we lost Harvest.
FBI!
Baker 4, we're looking for a green Dodge sedan on Attrill.
A white shuttle bus turned left on Stave;
a box truck turned right then left on Francis;

Tango, do you still have Harvest?
DAN: (grunts)
Take a left on Milwaukee Avenue up ahead.
(breathing heavily)

I have a couple of messages. You have to remember them.
(breathing heavily)
For my mother...
Remember?
I will.
Tell them the sensor schematics are in France.
Air base in Cazaux.

What's wrong?
(door closes)
Jesus.
Who are they?
Our guys,
from the team on Harvest.
Harvest, in the van.
And who the hell knows,
without the head and hands.
You were right. All of it.
Oh, give yourself a break.
I don't need it.
You said everything we do turns to shit,
and now we've got two of our guys dead,
and no illegal.
Maybe the leads pan out.
I don't need it, Stan.
(Patti Smith's Broken Flag plays)
**
Okay.
We're getting a little more detail from Chicago.
The Mexican guy who was driving Harvest's car --
he said two guys hired him.
A white guy with a goatee and a middle-aged black guy.
Then on the bus, it was the white guy and a white lady.
When are we getting sketches?
They're on the way.

* Nodding *
* Though the lamp's lit low *

* To and fro, she's darning *

* The sifting cloth is binding *
* And the dream she weaves *
* Will never end *

Someone's making me learn.
(dial tone)
(dialing)
Hi, is Henry Jennings there, please? It's his father.
Thanks.
Hi, Henry, we--
Yeah, we're back.
Good, thanks.
Yeah, I'm -- I'm...
I'm sorry. I-I wanted to drive you.
That's funny. Did you tell him you said that? 'Cause I --
Of course.
All right.
Yeah.
Good night.
(sighs)
I've got work.
When will you be back?
Tomorrow night. If I'm lucky.
Next week's the Summit.
**
(sighs)
**
(sighs)
Unh.
(grunting)
That's...
That's so good.
(grunts) Show me yours.
(gasping)
(breathing heavily)
What am I looking at?
I don't know, I...
It's not a -- It's not a trick question.
J-Just a window and some clouds.
From -- I drew it from a magazine photo.
Yeah, the proportions are good, and the shadows are...
But...why -- why did you draw this?
(breathing heavily)
I don't know. It was just something that I saw.
(groans)
All right. All right.
All right, you...
you don't know what you see until...
you need to bring yourself into it.
**
If you don't, what is the point?
**
But if you do -- you do,
there's a moment when...
it's not you seeing it, it's...
**
I don't know, it's a...
something come... (gasps)
something comes through.
**
You need to bring all yourself to it.
**
And then they'll let you...
get out of -- get out of your own way.
(groaning)
**
(chuckles) Or it doesn't.
You -- I know you have no idea what --
what I'm talking about.
(panting)
**
(groans)
Okay. Let me see.
No!
(groaning)
**
No. No.
It's been three hours.
I need to focus. No.
Please, just take it.
Shut up! I need to work!
(groaning)
**
(groaning)

(indistinct talking)
(sighs)
(door opens)
You want a coffee?
I gotta start bringing a change of clothes.
You start leaving the house with a change of clothes,
Janine's gonna start wondering.
Good point.
What's that?
(notebook thuds)
Six years ago, we had a team on a woman in Philly --
wife of an illegal that got killed --
she disappeared right from under us.
All right. Good.
(sighs)
Thought you were working.
I -- I was.
I am.
I-I just...
I wanted to check on you.
In the garage... your face...I just...
I'm going over to Paige's later.
Was she close with Marilyn?
Still.
Where's Stavos?
I had to let him go.
Lacey and Steve too.
How'd it go in Chicago? Did you get the guy out?
No.
It didn't go well.
What happened?
He died.
Marilyn, too.
(sighs)
How?
We were in a car,
the FBI...
Marilyn was shot.
Uh, is Dad...?
He's okay.
The whole thing just went to shit.
I thought you said this doesn't happen a lot.
It doesn't, but...
it can.
And it does.
Do you understand?
What?
You're going to have to make a decision, Paige.
To commit to this work, or to get out.
Because sometimes this is what we have to do.
And it's not easy, and it doesn't always end well.
And it's a commitment you have to make for life.
I understand.
Do you?
I know there's risk, and what you do is dangerous...
But are you willing to give up friends and relationships --
and your life if you have to --
because that's what's being asked of you.
I don't really have any friends.
I see these kids at school --
they think they're so political --
but they don't understand how this whole system
is designed to keep them down.
To keep us at each other's throats.
It's like what you and Claudia say...
They're blind to it.
And I'm not afraid to die.
I know that's easy to say,
but that's not what I'm afraid of.
What are you afraid of?
Being alone.
But I tell myself someday, I'll meet someone,
like you and Dad.
Well, I hope that you will.
But, you know, your father...
...he made a mistake when he committed to this life.
He was young, younger than you.
If you do this, it has to be forever.
That's the kind of work it is.
Paige.
It's okay if this isn't what you want.
This is what I want, Mom, what I've always wanted.
To make a difference.
Then it's time for you to apply
for an internship at the State Department.
