Same here. That kid is pretty much at the mercy of the Soviets right now.


I am interested to see if anymore comes of it.

Same here. I'd imagine the police will look into this deeper, and maybe find something. Perhaps the son was suspicious of his parents like the Jennings' daughter is and he says something during the interview.

What really makes this show fascinating is that it is "old school" espionage. No cell phones (I love the use of the pay phones). No e-mail (the postcard [and I am assuming occasional phone calls] appear to be the only contact Elizabeth had with the kids while she was gone). No digital recording (actual tapes). Very rudimentary means of communications (dispatching cables - shortwave coded communications). shite, the rotary phones crack me up.

I (and many of the "oldtimers" on the board) remember what it was like to actually live like this, with this level of communication ability.

Also, Am I wrong or was it implied that the KGB are going to kill the surviving son of their dead agents? Philip said he would be taken care of and Elizabeth just repeated the statement and they looked at each other in silence.



They were talking about the contact Phillip went to see.

You sure? I'm pretty positive they were talking about Emmett/Paul's son.


ETA: That would just be weird for them to be talking about their kids, and fearing for their safety, and then just quickly transfer to Paul's contact.

They were. The question/statement came just after Philip mentioned seeing him in the hall and hearing him scream.

Were Paul and the bald guy lovers?


Or did the bald guy just just really respect Paul and his cause??

How is this show? I've only seen commercials for it but it looks very interesting. Is it on Netflix or Xfinity?

That was the cover story while Elizabeth was recovering from her injuries at the end of Season 1.
