Co-starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, “The Americans'' is a period drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington, D.C., during the Reagan administration. The arranged marriage of Philip and Elizabeth Jennings grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but as the pressures and demands of the job grow heavier, the personal toll becomes almost too exhausting to bear, especially when it comes to protecting their American-born children, Paige and Henry. They also face the risk of discovery by their friend and neighbor FBI agent Stan Beeman, who is tasked with uncovering Soviet illegals hiding in plain sight.

Stan Discovers That Philip Is a Spy - Scene | The Americans | FX
/ fxnetworks
"We had a job to do."
What a line. It’s not sophisticated or flowery or anything. It’s just timing and delivery. And Matthew Rhys, of course.
The irony of this scene is that Stan has the gun pointed at Phillip as if he is the greatest threat when in reality Elizabeth would slit his throat in a split second if she could, while Phillip is extremely hesitant as a KGB agent at this point. And the fact that they deny killing anyone… let’s not forget Amador.
and the us kills no one n think fred hampton malcolm x the list is horrific so a little humility!
"And the fact that they deny killing anyone…"
They're keeping up appearances for Paige, they're still keeping her in the dark about this part of their job.
Not only did they deny killing for Paige, but she mentioned in another scene that she knew when Elizabeth lied. That means that in that moment she learned the truth fully. Good writing
@@oscarNL I like the idea that they lied about it because Paige was there, because we know they killed an absurd number of people
If you are planning to watch this show. Skip every other plans just watch it.
Kinda sucks they just watched the big scene the whole show builds up to.
@@esseeedeenah. It ain't that kind of show. You know this is coming from the opening scene. What else is going to happen? Stan never finds out? For the rest of their lives? Come on. The question is not "if". It's "when".
The whole show long people are coming close to finding our, or finding out. It's all about preserving their covers. And how far they'll go to do so. As far as necessary. Would they sacrifice their children? Good question! Watch and find out.
Does Stan ever find out? I mean, maybe not by the end of the show. But in life? Really? Idk maybe it's just me.
I was wondering how they're going to handle it and what they're going to do when he finds out. Presumably try to work him like they worked everybody else. 😊
"You made my life a joke" is one of the most devastating line deliveries I have ever heard. Devastates me every time.
I agree, sir. I mean the betrayal, the devastation he felt - him thinking he was a great American neighbor and his friend... it was all a lie. He gets divorced, trying to maintain a relationship with his son, trying his hand at dating again.... the ONLY thing he had was his friend; his neighbor. And then he finds out that its all a lie. His friend is a spy. I mean... that hits him like a freight train. We totally felt that. You know its class A1 acting when you feel the character's pain. No one can tell me they didnt feel sorry for Stan.
@@tellurye and then, because he’s not having a bad enough night, he finds out his wife is also proooooobably a spy too. Someone give my boy a hug and a beer, seriously
@@zachflag6506 Oh man thats right I forgot about that !
@@tellurye my man WENT THROUGH IT
@@telluryeI love how Noah Emmerich delivered this scene
Most underrated show of all time 🙌
This and 'The Shield'
Right?!?!
@@deljay1840the missus and I are watching the shield right now we’re on season 2. Season 1 was excellent this show has the potential to make my top ten best shows. If you had to make which show is better the Americans or the shield which one would you pick?
This show is not underrated.
Who is underrating it? Give me names.
I remember literally gasping the first time I watched this when Phillip said "we had a job to do"
It's been years since I watched this but what about that line was so shocking to you?
@@SpookyTranit’s a good line but yeah there isn’t anything shocking about it 😂it’s not like it was some big plot twist/reveal or something.
Some of the best acting in television history! Was speechless throughout the whole scene. So tense and emotional.
Agreed
This was by FAR the most incredible show I’ve ever seen. I wish the6 would make a sequel and show their lives in Russia after they left America.
or a prequel about them building their lives in America, wouldn't be the same though it would be made now so it would be a mess.
I'd like to see what happened to Paige and Henry.
They can't do a sequel because they are probably dead.
They could do a prequel though of their training, etc.
@@normancarter5419a one season miniseries would be pretty interesting imo
@@raymondsims7042 Yes, that would be a good alternative.
Philip is the ultimate secret agent. He manipulated Stan with the power of words alone. Appealed to his emotions, denied the killings, called him his best friend (which was genuine) and even threw in that line about Renee to humanise him and his wife more.
Elizabeth is the mean killing machine, but Philip is the better spy. As they said multiple times throughout the show, Philip was incredibly smart and gifted as a young kid.
Truman's friend Marlon gets a dose of his own medicine.
Unreal comment.
I came here to make this comment. well done.
This scene made me cry
Phillip and Elizabeth were guilty of espionage, but Paige was an American citizen, which made her guilty of treason. She was toast, If she was smart she fled to Argentina to live with Pastor Tim's family.
If she'd come clean about EVERYTHING, her time to be served would be reduced, if the Intel gained led to the arrest of other Russian agents.
@@neilpemberton5523 And her life wouldn't be worth a plugged nickel. Nor would her parents' lives, if only to send a message to other spies.about their family's safety. She would have been better off if she had fled to Russia with her folks.
That's IF Stan tells about how she knew, which he didn't, because he let them go and Paige, as far as he knew, hadn't actually DONE anything.
Treason is only applicable in wartime, and the US was not at war with the USSR, so Paige would not be guilty of treason. A famous real world example is the Rosenbergs (US citizens caught spying for the Soviets in the 50’s). They were executed for espionage, not treason.
Also, regardless of her citizenship, the daughter of spies would not be punished more severely than the spies themselves, obviously.
As a viewer you really knew it was over when Phillip said "we had a job to do"....but then Stan let them walk and again I fellt tense as it wasnt over just yet for the Americans. Really thought they would get arrested
Love the plot armor of how Stan suspected his neighbors but never, ever thought of simply showing the driver of the car a PICTURE of his neighbors....after the FBI agents were killed in Chicago.
Nothing hurts more knowing your best friend is against what you work and stand for.
he had to do something after Truman found out the truth
One of the best scenes in one of the best shows ever
I'm STILL devastated from not having been able to see the final series!! Brilliant, tense acting, addictive and intriguing storyline and authentic pathos - the yin & yang of life in a relentless pressure cooker!
great show
One of the great shows ever! I was disappointed that he let them go at the end!
"You were my best friend."
"You were mine, too."
Phenomenal. Simply phenomenal.
My heart broke watching this
The brilliant thing about this scene is that what saves the Jennings isn't their KGB training, it's the emotional intelligence and sensitivity Philip learned from EST.
He manages to get Stan to shift from FBI agent mode ("get down on the ground, hands where I can see them...) to the man who was their friend and neighbor ("...and Matthew?").
FBI Special Agent Beeman wanted to bust two KGB illegals but Stan wanted to know why his best friend had betrayed him. Philip revealing himself to Stan basically neutralized his desire to do his job, which is why he let them go. He was dumbstruck by hearing Philip being emotionally honest about how sad his life was and that Stan was his only true friend.
Nice analysis. Definitely hurts for Stan and even the stoic KGB agents themselves.
It shows that even the ruthless KGB are humans and are not blindly loyal to the CPSU.
Exactly!
This is what the whole EST subplot leads up to, but it was very subtle.
And Stan would've poked through it if he'd stayed in EST and did the follow up courses too.
Una delle più belle serie Tv che abbia mai visto !!!
Over the years, several US intelligence officers that have some internet visibility either thru book releases, or podcasts, or youtube videos, have stated that this show is the most realistic tv depiction of how intelligence operations actually work and life as a spy really was. None of that Jason Bourne, James Bond bullshit, this is what the cold war looked like between the officers of the CIA/NSA/DIA and the GRU/KGB/FSB and their assets looked like.
I still cannot get out of my head that if Paige said that she was pregnant, this entire situation would have been averted. Would have been off the wall, for sure
Literally popped into my head the minute the "you're going home for a stomach ache" was said. D'oh!
Might be the best drama show ever. Up there with The Wire and The Sopranos
Definitely the Americans is in my top ten shows ever. I’d say the wire is clear cut number 1 though.
honorable mention to homeland imo
The Americans is a Top 5 TV Drama. One of the best shows I have seen outside of Breaking Bad and Six Feet Under.
Nice choices! I'd add Madmen and Rome.
It took me a full year before I could bear to hear what the dialogue was in this scene. It was just TOO gut wrenching a situation. I muted the sound to see the result, but hearing Stan FINALLY realize and confront the betrayal was just too overwhelming in the moment. I never experienced anything like that (just can't bear to hear it) before or since. One of the best EVER TV series right up there with "Breaking Bad" .
It was an insult that this show did not win more Awards. Getting to watch this and Vikings...those were the days.
In all honesty this was so sad. Stan really was a lonely man who made his job his life and the one person he actually thought he could open up with and be friends with turned out to be the man he was after the whole time
We don’t kill people, Jesus! lmao
You notice how Eliizabeth says were not doing that and then no one does it.
This is what building a family business looks like.
The ost U2 ❤
This is the best way of ending the series is when he found out his neighbor were spies
*And IMO, I'm still a believer his mysterious gf is a planted spy as well.*
@@AzNightmare OH, I am watching this episode right now and I thought the same thing as you immediately. She was too eager and willing to date Beeman and move in. The way they trained the camera on her at the end as she looks on and then goes into the house...says it all. That look on her face says "My turn"
Will Fx bring this show back? I want to know what happened to Paige, Henry & Martha. 🙏
And Stan
No. No reason to risk it
And Misha Jr.
@@srinikethkrishnan8878 Yes, thank you! “Phillips” son!
@@srinikethkrishnan8878 *I'm disappointed they didn't really explore more into that story. He just sort of appeared and then never talked about again.*
when your the sopranos but you didn't run out off ideas
Lol huh?😂😂why do you think the sopranos ran out of ideas? What gave you that impression?
*you're or you are
*of
Why did Stan let them go??
Stan, "maybe you got this backstopped but I'm not some traffic cop."
Philip should have replied, "That's funny, because maybe a traffic cop having lived opposite a KGB agent for 5yrs would have figured something was up."
I don't know if that would have been the right reply in that situation hahaha. Funny one brother!
The way things are going now, you gotta wonder who's out there from Russia.
The way things are going now, you gotta wonder who's out there from The United States.
I was hoping Stan was going to shoot them both but alas, not to be.
If Paige hadn’t been there it likely ended differently. But I would imagine one of the couple would survive while Stan got the other.
This was the only way it could have ended. It would have been such a copout if the series ended with a shootout. For as intense and high-body count the series has been up until this point, the big climax was an emotional appeal.
now this is one of the best shows ever and imo possibly the finest final episode/conclusion that's ever been done. it all made sense. it was powerful, and it left you wondering about characters futures. i draw a parallel to this show and the west wing in their handling of opposition. the west wing showed republicans and democrats as true believers that loved their country. most times at odds, but not always. the americans does that with the soviets and the fbi. neither are villains, they just believe and have a job to do in service of that belief. the central plot of the series is this couples dilemma and personal struggle of originally being soviet believers, but slowly becoming american. being the parents of born and raised americans, who know nothing of their parents true selves.
I too appreciate the parallel between FIBBIES and KGB, now FSB, and between US and USSR, but instead of perceiving neither as villainous, both are villains.
