Stan finally tells Aderholt about his suspicions of Elizabeth and Philip, as well as how he's investigated those suspicions. Aderholt is dubious, but on his end, he interviews Father Viktor (Alex Kuznetsov), a Russian Orthodox Priest who tells Aderholt he thinks Father Andrei works for the KGB. The FBI also pick up Oleg after he's picked up Philip's message. Oleg admits he's there to stop anti-Gorbachev forces, which Stan doesn't care about, but he won't give up anything more.
Elizabeth continues to watch Nesterenko, and stops an attempt on his life by Tatiana (which alerts the FBI someone is trying to kill him). She then tells Claudia what she's done, and Claudia is upset by this. Philip goes on to meet with Father Alexei, but when Father Alexei tells him about the FBI meeting with Father Viktor, Philip tells Father Alexei to flee the country, and Philip narrowly escapes capture by the FBI. He then phones Elizabeth with a coded message to let her know it's time for them to flee the country, and she immediately goes into the basement to prepare for their escape.
