• Philip Jennings : I-I did all this... stuff, Stan. I don't even know why anymore. It-it seemed like the right thing to do. For my country. My country wanted me to. And I- And I... I kept doing it. Telling myself it was important, until finally I couldn't. And I-I stopped. I'm done with that now. I have been for a long time. It w- it was all just screwing people for... I don't... I don't even know for what. So I quit, like she said. Like you did. I'm a travel agent now. I'm just... I'm just a shitty, failing travel agent. Except I guess I'm not. Because now I-I need to leave, if I can. I have to run away from the place that I have lived for the past... so many years. If I can, if-if we can. Stan, I have to abandon my son. He can't come with us, because I got caught. I finally got caught. And here we are. And I don't even know what happens if we make it home because after all these years being scared of Americans and recruiting Americans and following Americans, we finally... we actually got something, and it has nothing to do with you. It's our own people. It's a bunch of fucking Russians. They're trying to get rid of Gorbachev. And we figured it out. Her, really.

  Elizabeth Jennings : It's our own bosses. They were going to fake my reports, make it seem like Gorbachev was trading away military secrets at the summit. The people I trusted all this time, and now...

  Stan Beeman : Do you know Oleg Burov?

  Philip Jennings : W-who is that?

  Stan Beeman : Don't bullshit me now, Philip. We arrested him earlier today picking up a dead drop. He told me the message was about people in the KGB trying to get rid of Gorbachev. Told me I had to send it back to Russia.

  Elizabeth Jennings : That message has to get back home.

  Stan Beeman : I could care less who runs your country.

  Philip Jennings : Stan, these people, if-if they're not stopped... that's our whole country. That's... that's our whole future. And it's the world, and whether we get to live in peace or not depends on this. We have to tell them what happened here. Because if that dead drop didn't go through, we're the only ones who can stop this now. I don't know why you should trust me. You should hate me. You sh... you should probably shoot me. But we're getting in that car, and we're driving away. I wish you'd stayed with me in EST. You might know what to do here.

  Paige Jennings : You have to take care of Henry.

  Philip Jennings : He loves you, Stan. Tell him the truth.

• Philip Jennings : We had a job to do.

  Stan Beeman : You were my best friend.

  Philip Jennings : You were mine, too. I never wanted to lie to you. Stan, what else could I do? You moved in next to me. I was terrified. And then we ended up as friends.

  Stan Beeman : Friends? You made my life a joke.

  Philip Jennings : You were my only friend. In my... in my whole shitty life. For all these years. My life was the joke. Not yours.

  Stan Beeman : And Matthew? Was that part of this? My son?

  Elizabeth Jennings : She didn't know. She didn't know until...

  Paige Jennings : I knew. They told me when I was sixteen. But Matthew, it-it had nothing to do with that. I just... liked him.

  Stan Beeman : Henry?

  Philip Jennings : No.

  Paige Jennings : He doesn't know anything.

• Philip Jennings : Stan, I don't know what the problem is. Maybe you-you and I...

  Stan Beeman : [drawing his service weapon]  Stop moving. You fucking piece of shit!

  Philip Jennings : [raising his arms]  What're you...? What are you doing? What are you doing?

  Stan Beeman : Lie down on the ground. All of you.

  Elizabeth Jennings : Stan.

  Philip Jennings : W-what are you gonna do, shoot us?

  Stan Beeman : On the ground. Face down. Keep your hands where I can see them. Move slow.

  Elizabeth Jennings : Stan, we're not lying on the ground, not while you have that gun pointing at us. This is Paige, Stan.

  Stan Beeman : Stop! Elizabeth, just stop. It's over. It's all over.

• Stan Beeman : You're going home from college for a stomachache?

  Paige Jennings : I feel sick.

  Philip Jennings : Wh-why are you interrogating her?

  Stan Beeman : Where's their car, Paige?

  Philip Jennings : It's in the dealership getting serviced. We've got a loaner.

  Stan Beeman : So what happens if I call in this plate?

  Philip Jennings : Are you kidding me?

  Stan Beeman : What happens?

  Philip Jennings : I don't know. What is with you?

• Stan Beeman : Paige, where you guys going?

  Elizabeth Jennings : Home.

  Stan Beeman : Really? Huh. Why? What's going on?

  Elizabeth Jennings : I'm not feeling good.

  Stan Beeman : Both your parents came to pick you up? That seems a little strange.

  Elizabeth Jennings : We were coming from work.

  Stan Beeman : [knowing she's lying]  You were just at work.

  Elizabeth Jennings : Why are you acting this way?

• Stan Beeman : All this time. I would have done anything for you, Philip. For all of you.

  Philip Jennings : I know.

  Stan Beeman : Did you... Gennadi and Sofia... that was you.

  Philip Jennings : W-who is that? W-we don't know who that is.

  Stan Beeman : Fucking liar. I saw it on your face. When I told you about them. Do you know how many people have been killed by Soviet agents here in Washington in the last year? Five years? Ten?

  Paige Jennings : I-I'm sorry.

  Elizabeth Jennings : We don't kill people, Jesus.

  Philip Jennings : We-we wouldn't.

  Elizabeth Jennings : He doesn't even do this kind of work anymore. He quit. He's a travel agent now. That's all.

  Stan Beeman : Get down. On the ground.

• Agent Ganzel : I probably checked fifty so far. Loeb's been on 'em the whole time.

  Stan Beeman : How many did he look at?

  Agent Ganzel : Almost 200. We narrowed it down to fifteen, but even if we're right on one, what're the chances they're going to that garage right now?

  Stan Beeman : If all their shit's in there, they're running...

  Agent Ganzel : I'm not saying no. I'm just saying get ready for another possible nothing.
