However, they are ac- tually highly trained KGB spies, who must kidnap out a high-ranking defector and return him to Russia. With Quarterflash’s ”Harden My Heart” playing in the background, we’re swept away to a bar in Washington, D.C., 1981. Elizabeth Jennings is getting some inside info from a member of the Department of Justice. That night, as she’s removing his clothes in bed, he continues telling her about ”the sheer number of people dedi- cated to destroying our way of life” while she pleasures him. We next see her leav- ing, removing her blond wig and driving away. Three days later, we see Philip Jen- nings and another man waiting to exe- cute a hit. Elizabeth pays a man for a few moments worth of looking out his window. Philip waits for Elizabeth’s signal from the window. He waits for the man to approach. The man pauses before reaching the spot where Philip is waiting, then runs away. Philip and his accomplice give chase, with Philip identifying himself as ”immigration.” Philip and his accomplice follow the man into an alley, where the man ducks in for a moment and stabs Philip’s cohort in the stomach before continuing to flee. Philip catches up to the man, who pulls a blade on him. After a brief fight, the man tells Philip he knows he’s not supposed to be killed, but Philip tells the man he has no idea how badly he’s wanted. ”I could deliver you in a hundred pieces and get a medal for each one.” Philip secures the man and Elizabeth drives up in a car waiting to take the man away. The man shouts for help while being pushed into the car as Philip acts like he’s a cop and gives the man his Miranda rights. Philip hops into the driver’s seat and takes off. He stops in an alley to change the license plates on the car and drives away again. 3 The Americans Episode Guide Philip and Elizabeth drop their colleague off near a hospital for treatment, instructing him to identify himself as a John Doe and walk to the hospital from the drop-off spot. Philip and Elizabeth drive off with their captor asking the to consider his offer to help. Philip droves up to a dock and they watch a cargo ship sail away. Philip turns and asks, ”Why is everyone so punctual in.
