Peter Jennings (Matthew Rhys) assignment - Moscow Andrzej Bielawski (Andrew Krukowski) is a Polish defector that despised what he described as the “Soul killing godless abomination” that was killing his native country. Working with Charles Duluth, (Reg Rogers) and another Soviet agent Irina (Marina Squerciati) discredits Andrzej by framing him for assaulting and raping Irina.
Turns out Sanford is as frightened of the “lady KGB” who comes knocking at his urinal (literally) as he should be because he’s in debt to some very dangerous men and expects to be dead anyway. Elizabeth pays off Sanford’s debts and now has him in her pocket.
