Ponies (2026) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Previously on ponies
is that him? Snowshoe's recruit?
Earlier this evening, a small
aircraft crashed in a field.
Both of your husbands
were on that plane.
What if there's a connection
between the stuff you guys
are working on and what
happened to this woman?
Can I ask why you're so concerned
with an anonymous woman?
I'm an anonymous woman.
A dozen women, all of them murdered,
all of them prostitutes.
And you think they are connected?
Some of these were my
friends. They're all gone.
Not this one, though.
This one I don't know.
I need to borrow your place
for like, an hour, maybe two.
Could you just go someplace else?
You're here because you want answers.
It's for that reason it is
worth pushing past this fear,
to get one step closer
to what you really want.
I have bad shoes.
I think I think these are bad shoes.
Yeah, sure, it's the shoes.
Yeah. How are you so fast?
State champion in track.
I'm surprised.
Well, I'm surprising.
Wait, what was that?
What was what?
Her.
The old lady?
What do you think she wants?
I don't know. Some knitting needles,
a little cane, the sweet relief of death?
I don't like how she's looking at us.
Look at you go! Okay!
Even with the bad shoes, wow!
Did we lose her?
No, she's keeping up.
Impressive.
Okay.
I'm called Vera.
I'm not kgb.
Give the information
to your Mr. Dane Walter.
The facility has moved.
I will get him the new location.
What in the shit?
So if she's not kgb, does
that mean she works for us?
No, but she is someone
useful to know on both sides.
There are things an American officer
cannot get in the ussr.
Someone like Vera can
help facilitate these things.
- Well, things like what?
- Like poison.
Forged travel papers, foreign currency.
- Stolen art.
- Airplanes.
What did she offer
you? She wouldn't have
sent you back here without
offering you something.
She didn't offer us anything.
She's offering you information.
The thing you desperately
want and would do anything for.
You think she's lying?
People in her line of work
do not get return customers if they lie.
But they also know how to
tell you things you want to hear.
Well, I mean, we wanna hear it,
so how how do we
get in touch with her?
Check your pockets.
Wow.
Okay, twila. You're up.
Me? I get to I get to run this op?
What does this even mean?
Well, it's pretty clever, actually.
People in Vera's line of work,
they use these symbols to communicate.
So there's a man they call caterpillar.
He works in the kgb kompromat facility.
He he's fed us information
through the various channels.
Look, if there's anyone
who's gonna know
where the facility is, it's him.
- Right.
- What's the, big knife for?
That's probably pavel, the butcher.
He's Vera's contact.
You see, caterpillar is so
deep in cover in the kgb system
that Vera probably
doesn't know who he is.
So, the butcher is gonna
reach out to caterpillar,
set up the meeting.
Who's she?
- That's Vera.
- Really?
Yeah. I mean, maybe 20 years ago.
Twenty? Really?
Okay. Where am I
supposed to meet her?
The yaravoi violin
factory, 1:00 P.M., Friday.
Which symbol means that?
She wrote it on the back.
Hey, you should know,
Vera knew Tom and Chris.
Right. Yeah, you said
she could get airplanes.
You think maybe she knows
something about the crash?
It's pretty likely, yes.
Even if she did know something,
I mean, would she even tell me?
If you do everything
she tells you to maybe.
Okay.
Why'd Dane pick me for this mission?
Well, because I told him to.
Why'd you do that?
Because I know how much you care
about the women in Moscow
that no one else cares about.
That's Vera.
Good morning. I am eevi.
I am your nanny.
I I took the night train in from Helsinki.
No. No, you are not
the woman that I hired.
The woman I hired had
experience, you know, he heft.
So.
The agency sent me all this way.
It was a 13-hour journey.
Yeah, I assure you, I
have years of experience.
I don't see how that's possible,
'cause you don't have years of anything.
- Just
- hello. Hey. Who are you?
- She says she's the nanny.
- Eevi.
It's very nice to meet you.
I'm ray, this is Cheryl.
- Here, let me take your bag.
- Nope. No. No, no. We're gonna
leave the bag, because
I'm gonna call the agency,
- 'cause this was a mistake.
- Do you want anything to drink?
The coffee's bad, tea's even worse.
Why why don't I
introduce you to Trent?
- Trent, buddy! Come in here.
- Sir?
I got someone for you to meet!
We're gonna get this sorted
out soon, so stay close, please.
Don't unpack. And
we're not gonna unpack.
Okay? Just one second.
- Down a tiny bit.
- Is that
I think, that that let go.
That's perfect. I knew it was a little off.
It's a malevich. Are you familiar?
Actually, I am, yeah.
Art history minor.
- You sure that's okay?
- Yeah, it looks great.
Yeah?
Yeah.
One of the perks of this job?
Access to the desperate
and formerly rich.
I got this for a song from a
high level politburo member
with a gambling addiction.
Someday it'll be worth millions.
He'll be pretty sour he made that deal.
I have an eye for these things.
When I served in Berlin in
the '50s, I bought a degas.
Really?
Was it stolen Nazi art?
Well, not when I got my hands on it.
I paid for it, which
makes it no longer stolen.
I saw the signal in your window.
Andrei showed up?
Well, what did you say?
I I said that I was your boyfriend.
I know. It was the first idea I thought of.
I I said I knew about your infidelity.
I'm so sorry I'm putting
you in this position, this risk.
Well, it's already risky.
Giving secrets to the
Americans. If they catch me
I know, I know. I know it's scary
and and and risky,
but but you have to know
that the intelligence
that you're bringing us
what intelligence am I bringing you?
- The photos! And and
- and, the technology.
You don't know, do you?
If what I do matters?
They don't tell you what
I'm bringing them, do they?
I think what I'm doing is important.
But you don't have to lie
to me for me to help you.
I have to lie to everyone.
I'm nadiya melnikova, the schoolteacher.
And you are my boyfriend, apparently.
Though you are cheating on me.
Small hiccup in an otherwise
very strong relationship.
Okay, so what's our story?
- How did we meet?
- You don't remember?
- Well, I'm
- my my umbrella broke
and I asked if I could walk under yours.
- Of course!
- I I walked seven blocks
out of my way to stay near you.
And and I thought
I'd never see you again,
and then one day at the
market, there you were.
It was fate.
I really am sorry.
Nadiya. Love
love means never
having to say you're sorry.
My god!
You got a copy of
"love story" in Moscow?
Yeah. Movie and book.
How did you get a copy of the movie?
My work is with video technology.
It's the technology the
Americans want me to steal.
Did did you know it?
What do I do if he comes back?
What you're doing.
Believe the lie.
I mean, he never had a
wife, so that must be his sister.
I mean, she she kinda looks like him.
If you say so.
Well, no, but you know
so. You know everything.
You know about twila's
high school track career.
You know I don't take
cream in my coffee.
And you know that our Soviet
asset's sister was murdered.
I didn't know about the cream.
We were just out of cream.
Why do you wanna know
more about your agent?
You've already almost
gotten him blown by the kgb.
Well, I don't know, he's
putting his life on the line.
I just wanna understand why.
- I need him to trust me.
- He already trusts you.
And you trust him.
Which, by the way, you shouldn't.
Wait, why are we doing
this if we don't trust him?
In many ways, you are
extremely ill-suited for this job.
But you have your
reasons for being here.
As does redford.
And his reason is his sister.
You think she was a prostitute?
Looks that way.
Who murdered her?
The Soviet government. The kgb.
Same organization who employs
a man you want me to date.
It's a sensitive undercover operation
to infiltrate a high-level kgb agent.
You know what I mean.
Of course he's dangerous.
Otherwise we wouldn't
want you to spy on him.
How dangerous is he?
Andrei.
Has he killed
a lot of people?
You've looked into his eyes.
What do you think?
Well, first off, it's "Carl," not "curl."
Why don't you go ahead
and work off of that one?
Cheryl. You did such
a great job with that.
Why don't you just take over for me?
I did not do that. Bea did, so.
No. Ray.
- Bea!
- Ray? Put that down.
You paint?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
A woman of many talents
that involve sitting down.
Sure.
It's time.
Okay.
I thought they would send the other girl.
Why?
She spoke Russian.
Well, you're speaking
English, and, they sent me.
So, what do you need me to do?
Pavel, the butcher,
took a great risk contacting caterpillar.
For that, he needs money.
$100,000 in American currency.
By tomorrow night.
That's a lot of money.
You're the American government.
It shouldn't be too difficult.
Okay. I'll try. Yeah, I'll
work on it. I just you know,
we don't keep that kind of cash
lying around at the embassy.
And I need a passport.
For who? Pavel?
Passport is for me.
This is the cost of my help to you.
I can't hide in this country forever.
I want to die free.
Okay. I'll I'll get you the passport.
But when I do, you're
gonna get your guy,
the butcher, to contact caterpillar
and get the location
of this facility for Dane.
Yes. That's our deal.
Jesus!
$100,000 in cash by tomorrow night?
We couldn't get that in a month.
Don't we work for the American
government? Aren't we rich?
We have to fill out
forms to get thumbtacks.
But she's negotiating, I
think, which is a good thing.
We just have to keep her hungry.
Tell her that we can get
her a visa to a friendly nation
where the kgb won't kill her.
Get me a visa to america, then?
Get her a visa to america, then.
- We can do Turkey.
- How about Greece?
She'll still need an
American passport, though.
What about a Greek passport?
American. I can only
do with an American.
Fine. Is that it?
That it?
Pavel still wants the money.
I can get you something
extremely valuable
that you can sell for a
large amount of cash.
More than a hundred grand, even.
What is that?
I'll tell you tonight. If you're not satisfied,
we'll call the whole operation off.
You'll call the whole operation off?
What were you planning on giving her?
I I don't know. I was
just trying to buy us time.
Okay, think with me.
You need this, I need this.
What about your car?
I'm sure she'd love a car.
I don't own a car. I drive
a west German sedan
- owned by the embassy.
- Right. What about watches?
- You got a rolex or something?
- No!
Okay. Okay.
Just just let me think.
Let me let me think.
He's trying to screw with your head.
Yeah, that's working.
My head is screwed.
He must have sent the
man who robbed me.
Whoever robbed me didn't find this.
Although he could have and
that would've been the end for me.
So this is the last thing I'll steal.
I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore.
They're gonna torture me.
They're gonna make
me wish I was dead.
They're going to let me live just enough
so I feel pain every hour of my life.
I feel fear I never felt before.
Do you understand what
is at stake for me? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I don't think I
can still do this for you.
You and I both know
you're not doing this for me.
Your sister.
They killed her.
You know about galyna?
You know they killed her?
The kgb.
I do know they killed a lot of women.
A man kgb, he came to
me one night after she died.
He said that there were some kgb agents
who were murdering prostitutes
and galyna was one of them.
I didn't know.
We came from Kiev to
Moscow when we were 13.
She was my only friend.
She was so excited to be here.
But then they killed her.
This country.
Our country.
Please believe me
when I say I understand.
If you walk away
no one in this world will
ever fight for her again.
- I need something.
- Anything.
I need to know that if they
are going to torture me,
there is another option.
I've thought about this. I need an I pill.
I don't know what that is.
A lethal pill. A cyanide pill.
I don't understand. Why
do you want a cyanide pill?
So I could bite down
on it if they come for me.
I'm not gonna give you a
pill so you can kill yourself.
I don't want you to die.
I don't want to die either.
I will only take it if
there is no other option.
I will continue helping you, but please
understand there's some
things worse than death.
So what the fuck happened?
Well, I I fucked up is what happened.
He he almost quit,
and I think he still might.
And, fuck! Andrei knows
about him and he thinks
that he's my boyfriend
that I'm cheating on.
- Well, we can work with that.
- What?
He just likes knowing
someone else is fucking ya.
I think the kgb sent a
goon to beat him up.
- Well, is he okay?
- No, he's not okay.
He wants me to get him an I
pill, and there is no way that
Dane is gonna give me a
pill that's gonna kill our asset.
I think I can get you one of those.
Really? Well, from who? How?
Vera. Poison.
It's one of the, things she can procure.
So she would just give it to you, or
maybe. If I can sweeten the deal.
We're in the middle of a negotiation.
Actually, you know when
you were making fun of Alan
for his stupid painting earlier?
- Yeah?
- Could I borrow it?
What do you mean, borrow it?
- Steal it?
- What?
Yeah. Would you mind
just, breaking into his office
really quick and just stealing it for me?
What the fuck?
Please?
Okay.
But I can't I just can't
- help myself any longer.
- I think about us
- every single day.
- Shit!
I think about us and all the yes!
Come here. Come on, lili. Okay.
- Yeah.
- Please.
God. God.
Just get the I'm
sorry, lili. Are you okay?
- Yes. Shit.
- Okay, okay. Whoo!
Don't stop, baby!
She's perfect!
Really, amazing job. Truly.
It's so not. It's awful.
It's fine. Nobody nobody's
gonna notice these things.
Alan will notice. He looks
at this painting all the time.
Well, he didn't notice when
you stole it in the first place.
Yeah, that's 'cause he
was busy having sex with lili.
- Shep's wife?
- Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, I get it.
I mean, if you had to fuck
shep, you know? But Alan?
I know.
Why did you do the head just like
- I don't know!
- No, no, no.
- It wasn't my intention.
- Don't think about it.
- I know. Okay.
- I tried.
Man, what the fuck is this?
Well, you're blackmailing me.
I pay you to stop a tape from getting out
that you claim will be
very damaging to me.
A tape you claim to have.
I do have it.
Really?
Because I heard chatter that you didn't.
That the facility was compromised,
and the tape got out.
That's a lie.
You're over your skis, vasiliev.
You act like you run things,
but we both know you're just
mid-level kgb.
I don't negotiate down.
Come back when we
can talk like equals.
I may not run an embassy,
but, you won't either.
I will send anonymous dispatch to CIA
that the head of the
Moscow station well, is a fairy.
Tell whoever you like.
My mother's dead.
I I don't have a priest.
I don't have a wife anymore.
Washington already knows. I mean
how do you think I ended up in Moscow?
The worst assignment in
the whole of the fucking CIA.
If this item you claim to have
is a tape of me fucking other men,
then you really don't have it.
I'll see you around.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait. You stole this?
No, no. Course not, no.
- Bea stole it.
- Are you kidding?
Look, how else was I supposed
to find something worth 100,000?
Okay? Your life's not even worth that.
- You're too kind.
- Look, you're the one that said
to give Vera everything
she wants if I want answers,
- so that's what I'm doing.
- You're assuming that pavel
is gonna accept this as payment.
Yeah. He will.
I can convince anyone of anything.
He wants to know
what the painting means.
I don't know what it means.
But I do know that it is worth
a lot of money, you know?
It's, one of the the big,
main guy at the embassy's,
it's his, and he's a big art
collector, so tell him that.
Yeah.
Tell him a little something.
Sell it a little more.
What do you mean?
What do you think it's about?
Loneliness?
I think it's about feeling
like you're part of the world
and other times like you're not.
Actually, you know what? Never mind.
I think I'm gonna find another buyer.
Yeah. This is a very significant work
and it's wasted on a moron like yourself.
- I'm gonna take it.
- Hey!
No, don't take it. He will accept this.
Then he will set the meet with caterpillar.
You owe me a passport.
I know. Yeah.
Wait, wait, actually,
I hate to ask you for another favor, but
do you have a a suicide pill?
You know, one of the the I pills,
the thing you bite down on
and you die in two seconds?
- Why?
- It's not for me,
but I'm in the middle
of another negotiation.
I don't have any more paintings to steal,
but, I do need one.
I have one of those.
Really? Wow.
Just get me a passport.
Here it is.
So that's me now.
"Pam-Ella Wilson."
Yep, that's you.
From "illinoise."
Close enough. Yeah.
And here is the pill.
What what are you doing?
My god.
Okay. Wow.
You don't need it?
I did once.
Now I have since learned
it's only a fool who thinks
they can control death.
Death takes you whenever it wants.
I kinda wanna bite it.
You ever just wanna bite it?
No.
I got you everything you wanted.
Could you,
could you tell me what
really happened to them,
to Tom and Chris?
It was the kompromat facility.
They were looking for
it when, they were killed.
Caterpillar is giving
us the new coordinates.
But was there ever really a crash, or
there was a plane.
Not a crash.
Fucking hell, Tom.
Give me a break, I'm landing blind.
Think anyone was close
enough to hear us come in?
We are still ten kilometers
from the coordinates
you broadcast to me.
Well, we better start walking.
If caterpillar even gave you
the right fucking coordinates.
Stay here.
We'll be fast.
It's Christmas Eve. Our
wives are expecting us.
Chris!
There were soldiers waiting
for us when we landed.
I watched them die.
I escaped before the
soldiers got to the plane.
- Wow. So, there were
- there were soldiers, though?
They they were waiting for you?
- They knew you were coming?
- Somebody told them.
Who? Who would tell the Russians?
Your husband.
He was feeding the
information to the Soviets.
- What?
- Your husband was a mole.
I mean, are are you sure?
He he was a he was a lot of things
but, I mean, working with the Soviets?
I mean, I how how do you know?
How do you know this?
For this information, I
need something else.
What?
No.
No, no. You're gonna
tell me. Look, I gave
Okay. That's that's good.
Yeah. Yeah, that's good.
That's kinda good.
My god!
You almost gave me a heart attack!
I, twila! Let's get out.
Let's get out. Let's get out. Let's get out.
Some something, hang on. Yeah.
What? Wait, wait, wait.
Why are you wet?
Vera fell into the river.
- Jesus Christ, twila.
- You gotta be careful.
- She's an old woman.
- No. No, no.
She fell in the river and she died.
- What?
- Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know. The bridge
she she was standing on,
just, the bridge crumpled
and then she fell.
- What, you just left her there?
- Yes!
What was I supposed
to do, drag her body
through the streets of Moscow?
What what are you supposed
- shit. This is bad.
- Yeah, it's bad. Yeah.
But, but, you know, you
know it's not all that bad
because I already got the
the painting to the butcher,
so he's gonna set the
meeting and, you know,
we're gonna get that
location for Dane, still, so
- god. That's good.
- Yeah, that's good.
Before Vera died, did she
did she say anything?
You know you know,
that might be relevant for us.
Actually, yeah.
She she said she was
there when Tom and Chris died.
She said that?
Yeah.
She saw them die?
That's what she said.
And you believed her?
Okay.
God.
I'm sorry, this is so stupid.
No.
I don't know, I thought
maybe there was a chance.
Maybe they were still alive?
I know that doesn't make any sense.
I just.
I don't know, I I kinda
'cause there were no
witnesses, that maybe
maybe this wasn't real, but god, it is.
I don't know if this is helping. Just,
let me know if you
want me to stop, okay?
Sorry, I just
I just miss him.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Okay, did she did
she say anything else?
No. No, nothing else.
Okay.
Yeah.
We should probably let
someone know that our asset is
- dead.
- Dead, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I I didn't push her, if
that's what you're thinking.
No, I wasn't thinking that.
Yeah, 'cause it 'cause it
was an accident, so if anyone,
you know, were to find her, it
would it would look like one.
Right.
Right. If the Russians find the body,
they can come to whatever
conclusions they want.
Jesus.
Okay. I gotta get ready for the show.
But could I get the passport
that we made Vera so I can destroy it?
The passport?
Yes, please.
I don't have it.
Where is it?
She has it, because I gave it to her.
If an American passport
is found on the body,
that ties us in to all of this.
Okay, this is a big fucking problem
and we have very little time.
I'm gonna need you to act quickly.
Yeah.
Doing what?
Okay. So, so how we gonna do this?
I I guess we just, walk out there and,
and and reach reach in her pockets
and get the passport, yeah?
Okay. Okay. So so do that.
What what what about
you? What are you gonna do?
Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna look out.
This is your operation, so, you know,
I should probably just -right, yeah, okay.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just checking in her coat.
Okay.
Okay.
Do we take this with us or.
- I I think so.
- Can I toss it to you?
- Nope. No, don't
- don't throw a gun at me.
Even if it's been underwater?
You can just come over, hand it to me.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- All right, good job. Okay.
- Okay.
Don't touch the -no. No, not gonna
- okay.
- Touch it at all.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah. I think I feel it!
- Thank god.
- Yeah.
- Okay, let's go.
- Yeah, I got it.
Found a found a knife, too.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I hate to say this, 'cause, I,
I really do wanna get
out of here, but she
she's kinda just exposed, you know?
I mean -maybe we should just
ray kinda said, you know, if
the passport wasn't on her,
then it sorta doesn't matter.
That's fucked up.
- It matters.
- Yeah.
I mean, maybe not to the Russians,
but it just it should still matter.
I mean, look at her, she's
she's just gonna rot here.
I mean, no one's gonna move her.
No one no one cares
about her. She's just
she was completely alone.
She just lived this life and,
did all this wild shit, and now
now she's dead and
no one's gonna even
remember she existed.
That's really sad.
- Tell me if you want me to stop.
- Yeah.
Honey.
You have to promise me.
Only if it's absolutely necessary.
I know.
There's this Russian
saying, you may know it.
And
what is this for?
There are instructions inside,
for something that we need, if
you're still willing to do that?
Thank you for trusting me.
You know I'm doing this for my sister.
Why are you doing this?
My husband.
I don't know if you knew I was married.
You almost said you had a husband.
I
Don't anymore.
He was killed.
Does that make me not married now?
He feels so far away.
You know, my sister,
we we were twins.
Am I still a twin if there is no other twin?
Maybe we're both
something in between of
who we were with them
and who we are without them.
I -yeah.
I should -goodnight.
Take care.
Cheryl?
You may call me missus szymanski.
- Missus shis
- shis man manki.
I I was wondering if it would be okay
if I came to the performance tonight.
Absolutely not.
Who would look after Trent?
I would bring him.
He's been talking all day
about watching his father sing.
Well, he has to go to bed.
Where have you been?
I I just I I need the, of course.
Thank you.
Hi.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Well done, Cheryl?
Twila.
If you don't cheer really, really loud
when I sing my song, you are fired.
- Well, in that case.
- I really should be
singing more songs, though.
You know, people say that
I really I own the stage.
Do you ever think maybe
the problem isn't your voice?
- Bea.
- Shep? Can we just please
- yep, yep, yep.
- Hi, Alan.
You mind coming up to my
office? I need to talk to you.
Of course. But you know,
the show's about to start.
I'll have you back in time.
I was wrong about you, be a.
When I first met you,
I thought you were
just another secretary.
But it turns out, you're a
compassionate person.
That's why I'm letting you in on a secret.
Gretchen and I are
having some problems.
- Alan.
- I'm gonna be sleeping
in the office for a while.
I'm letting you in on that
so that you can help me
keep that, you know, discreet.
- Of course.
- Thank you.
On the bright side, the,
couch in here is very comfortable.
Yeah!
And and and and there is nothing
like sleeping in front of truly fine art.
Everything okay?
For now.
Wow!
- Whoo!
- Okay!
- Whoo!
- Yes!
Wow!
For this song, I would like to invite up
the newest member
of our embassy family
straight from Helsinki
with a great set of pipes.
It's eevi! Come on up, eevi!
Everybody, give a round of applause!
- Come on, eevi.
- Come on, Trent.
Let's go to your mom.
- Would it be okay?
- No.
Okay, ready?
Five, six, five, six, seven, eight!
We should dance!
- I thought you'd never ask.
- Yeah.
Sorry!
Why didn't you ask me to do a duet?
Well, because I I didn't
know you wanted to sing. I
every time I put on
music in the apartment,
you tell me it gives you a headache.
Yeah, well, I don't like music per se,
but I might, if you asked
hey, hey.
Next time, I will ask.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Trent?
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Trent!
- Trent?
- Okay.
See? She cannot control him.
He's fine.
Trent?
Where are you?
Come on, Trent.
Trent!
Come here. Careful!
When were you planning on
telling me that Vera is dead?
Now?
Well, fuck.
- Where
- where are you going?
To bed.
We tried. Not every
mission is a success.
No, no. No.
I mean, this was a
successful mission, though.
I mean, come on, I
I did all the stuff I was supposed to do.
You know? Vera
wanted to pay the butcher.
He's paid. Okay?
And and and so he's setting
the meeting with caterpillar,
and he's gonna get you the coordinates
for the facility you want,
the facility that Tom and Chris
were were looking for when they died.
And he's their contact, by the way.
So he's gonna know
what happened to 'em.
Caterpillar is key to
finding out what happened.
We're really close here.
And yet the person he was
expecting to meet is dead.
Wait. No! Caterpillar's never met Vera.
Ray, right? That's what you said?
He's never seen her, he
doesn't know what she looks like.
He just knows her
based off her reputation.
So let's just find a
different old Russian woman
and throw her into this meeting.
I mean, he would never
know the difference.
- I could do it. I could
- you don't speak Russian.
She does! Just just
put a babushka on her.
- I could get the wig master.
- You got a wig master?
This is a life and death situation,
not a high school
production of "bye, bye birdie."
Caterpillar will see this woman up close.
So she has to be
Vera's age, Vera's profile,
Russian, but on our side,
which means we have to
already know her and
she has to already know us.
So unless any of you have
another elderly Russian woman
who you would trust
with your life -Dane?
I do.
All over the world, little guys
are standing up to tyrants, but not me.
Well, I hate violence.
In fact, my father
always told us in his sermons,
he who lives by the sword
