There are no hiding places left as the FBI trails Martha
Clark owes Martha an apology.
Where have you been for the last two days?
So he gives her the typical, vague something came up excuse.

She thinks she is under suspicion.
She felt alone and abandoned when she couldnt reach him.
I will need that back tomorrow morning, he says so she needs to memorize it.
Of course, Martha says.
Why would I expect to keep anything?
Its especially nerve-racking because Henry has been hanging around with Stan Beeman lately.
Maybe we should take a break, Elizabeth says.
So much has been thrown at you.
Maybe its too much.
We tried to tell you everything, and…that hasnt worked out so well.
Where were you this weekend?
Again, Elizabeth cant tell her about the antibiotics and the glanders.
I think its enough now, Paige, her mother says.
In Moscow, Oleg Burov gets words from his father about Ninas brutal execution.
I tried, his father says.
Its not easy to help a traitor.
Oleg takes a deep breath.
I dont know why I expected anything, he says.
You didnt help Yevgeny either, he says.
But Oleg can drive the knife deeper.
His father, a World War II veteran, points out that he lost four brothers in that conflict.
No military honors at their funerals.
Who died a hero.
The Party isnt going to like this.
The whole countrys going to shit, Papa Burov says.
He tells Oleg to go back to America then, with all its comfort and special favors.
Its not what I fought for, Olegs father says.
Its not what your brother died for.
An agent took her out for dinner Friday night.
It could be coincidence.
Do you have Hans checking to see if shes being followed?
Maybe we should put him on full time.
She has bad news, too.
Paige says Stan was asking about our trip.
He noticed we were gone… Philip, you should probably make up with him.
At FBI headquarters, Aderholt tells Stan about his dinner.
She says shes having an affair with a married guy.
It explains the secrecy, but its also a good cover.
Stan tells him about what he found in her apartment during their dinner out.
A gun, but no diary or incriminating details.
Also, aKama Sutra.
Lot of pages marked, Stan says.
Maybe Marthas story about the affair is true?
Elizabeth is continuing to build her relationship with Young Hee.
We still dont understand her motive behind targeting this Korean-American woman.
Its an emotional story, and Pastor Tim and Alice are clearly moved by it.
Its step one is getting them not to report Elizabeth and Philip to the authorities.
I dunno, Elizabeth says.
He really cares about you, Paige, Philip says.
Paige says right and excuses herself to go to bed.
But all Oleg wants to talk about is Nina.
He tells Zotov they killed her.
I told them shed changed, that she had something to offer, Zotov said.
Then she threw it all away.
They dont execute people for nothing, Oleg.
She got chance after chance.
He offers Oleg a drink.
Im tired, he says, sounding a lot like Paige in the previous scene.
NEXT: The FBI follows Martha…
Meanwhile, Hans is monitoring Martha and thinks he spots someone tailing her as she walks to Clarks place.
(We have an episode title!)
Once again, Martha is alone, afraid, and getting angrier.
She calls the number Clark gave her and arranges a call for later in the evening.
Elsewhere, Paige meets with Pastor Tim and says, Im supposed to say I forgive you.
Why would your parents want you to say that?
Apparently they like you.
They think youre a good guy, she says.
She says they told her the truth when she asked.
Which, maybe, was a mistake.
Philip and Elizabeth meet with Gabriel, who bends over backwards to minimize and dismiss their suspicions.
What if youre wrong?
Marthas surveillance reports are worth it, Gabriel says.
Its very hard, I understand, Gabriel says.
Its excruciating not to make a move when things are uncertain.
We are people of action.
Thats a good thing, isnt it?
Of course, Gabriel says.
He understands why Philip is emotionally invested in Martha.
You two still care about people.
Its what makes you such good officers.
And we will do everything possible to protect your agents.
But he wants to slow down, keep things status quo.
Well bring him home a hero, Gabriel says.
Oleg walks down a dark street and climbs into a car, where Stan is waiting.
Ninas dead, Oleg says.
They executed her a couple days ago.
He is mostly to blame for her death.
He could have helped her escape, but he chose not to.
Oleg expresses frustration at his own government.
Seems like Oleg is feeling a little treasonous.
Martha is waiting by a payphone at a laundromat.
She wants to see Clark tomorrow.
I think we should stick to Tuesday, he says.
Then youve got to be there!
Tell me Tuesday, she answers.
Back at the Jennings and Beeman neighborhood, Henry is hanging out at Stans and making his son uncomfortable.
Elizabeth worries their boy is spending far too much time with the FBI agent.
One thing shes not worried about: Marthas cover being blown.
She tells her husband theres still a good chance shes not under surveillance.
Philip goes to get Henry and uses the visit to make peace with Stan.
He apologizes for spending time with Stans ex at the EST meeting.
Truthfully, I know you wouldnt do anything, Stan says.
Because youre a good guy.
Outside the house, Stan introduces Philip to Agent Aderholt.
Theyre off for a sting, monitoring, oh hey, your other wife, Phil!
Now Philip knows shes being monitored for sure.
While Martha is holed up in her apartment with the two agents outside, Elizabeth comforts Philip.
Well do everything we can for her, she says.
As David Bowie and Queens Under Pressure plays on the soundtrack, she lifts her skirt.
Time to release some pressure.
