Language: English (Subtitles) Storyline Set during the Cold War period in the 1980s, The Americans is the story of Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, two Soviet KGB officers posing as an American married couple in the suburbs of Washington D.C. and their neighbor, Stan Beeman, an FBI Counterintelligence agent. S1.E13 ∙ The Colonel. Wed, May 1, 2013. After being arrested for not paying his child support, Sanford Prince (Tim Hopper) is in FBI custody. Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) tells his boss, Agent Frank Gaad (Richard Thomas), that they should keep Prince in custody until he talks. Elizabeth (Keri Russell) meets Claudia (Margo Martindale) where she reaffirms her suspicions about the upcoming meeting with an informant, Colonel Lyle Rennhull, especially now that Prince, who had arranged the connection, has been moved to federal custody. She also tells Claudia about a meeting between Caspar Weinberger and James Baker—information she learned from the bug planted in Weinberger's study (which the FBI are now aware of). Claudia tells her she will not be their handler for very long after Elizabeth and Philip (Matthew Rhys) requested for her to be transferred. Elizabeth meets Philip at their office, where she continues to question the authenticity of the Colonel. She tells Philip that if the meeting is a set-up, he needs to leave with their children for Canada, knowing that she will be identified by Stan immediately. Philip volunteers to take the mission with the Colonel, but Elizabeth declines and tells him he instead needs to go and collect the tape that recorded Weinberger's meeting with Baker. Meanwhile, Arkady (Lev Gorn) tells Nina (Annet Mahendru) that Moscow has decided to let her live, despite reservations. Gaad plans to arrest the KGB agent who arrives to collect the Weinberger tape. Stan tries to reconcile with his wife Sandra (Susan Misner) by offering a vacation to Jamaica, but she has not forgiven him. Down in the basement, Elizabeth listens to an old tape of her mother speaking fondly about pictures she had seen of her grandchildren Paige (Holly Taylor) and Henry (Keidrich Sellati). A disguised Claudia persuades Richard Patterson (Paul Fitzgerald), the CIA official responsible for the killing of General Zhukov, to let her use his phone. She tasers him, injects him with paralyzing agent, and cuts his jugular. She tells the dying Patterson about her friendship with Zhukov. Paige, awakened by a nightmare, catches Elizabeth coming out of their laundry room. Elizabeth claims she was folding clothes, but Paige is suspicious. Claudia tries to convince Arkady to call off the meeting with the Colonel, but he declines, saying that it's a risk worth taking. Stan reassures Nina that her exfiltration will be approved by the end of the day. Elizabeth gets a note from Philip, telling her that he is taking the meeting with the Colonel. Nina tells Arkady that the FBI are planning something and he assumes the meeting with the Colonel is a trap. To alert the agents, Arkady dispatches cars with an "abort" signal spray-painted on the side. Philip meets Colonel Rennhull, with Claudia watching. Rennhull provides him with schematics that he says are 50 years away from being possible. Claudia spots a car with the abort signal and interrupts Philip's meeting with Rennhull. When no FBI agents intervene, they realize it is Elizabeth's mission that is compromised. Elizabeth makes her way towards a car to collect the tape of the recording from the bug, but Philip arrives and collects her. Stan recognizes them as the couple that kidnapped Patterson and FBI agents intervene, shooting at Philip and Elizabeth. Phiilip loses the pursuers, but Elizabeth has been shot. Stan returns to Nina, where he tells her that his mission failed and she cannot be exfiltrated yet. Later, while Elizabeth is getting surgery for her gunshot wound, Philip asks Stan to take care of the children, telling him that Elizabeth has to take care of a great-aunt, and that Philip is obliged to go with her. In a montage played to Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers", Martha (Alison Wright) happily puts on her wedding ring after coming home; Sanford is now talking to Gaad about Rennhull; Nina hands Arkady a file on Stan; Paige and Henry are at the Beemans' while their parents are gone. Elizabeth wakes up and tells Philip to come home in Russian. Back home, curious about her mother's behavior, Paige looks around the laundry room, but sees nothing out of the ordinary.
