Polygraph




Thoughts?

ETA: Since apparently it's not viewable by everyone, here's a description:

There's a lie detector machine showing a read out. Voice asks "Are you committed to your country?" Philip, shot from behind, says yes. The needle scribbles, indicating tension/conflict/lying, and there's a shot of a clock like a stopwatch ticking seconds by. He's alone in a yellow-tinted shot.

Another voice asks "Would you sacrifice everything for it?" Elizabeth, from behind, says yes. Her needle also jumps a little, followed by the clock. She's also alone, in a red-tinted shot.

Then we see the two Russian military men in split screen, reading from clipboards. They both ask, "Even your own children?" The separate lie detectors get more and more agitated as P&E in split screen look down, then up at the camera.

It ends with a note about the show, and a shot of the polygraph going crazy and then flatlining.

The lesson here being: squeeze your sphincter and look at Oleg in the corner!

I'd appreciate it :-)

Though I'm guessing it will be available within a day or two.

First of all - thank you!!!

And second, I underestimated SpoilerTV. They just now put it up: http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/12/the-americans-season-3-new-teaser.html

Having seen the description now - we knew this is what S3 would be about.

I suppose this isn't a real scene (?)

If so, it gets the point across. Though I'm not sure Russia sees the second generation joining in as a 'sacrifice'.

I think Phillip's sideburns are even longer than last year.

I agree. It was the '70's when sideburns and polyester leisure suits were big. We can be grateful this show is set in the 80's.

Really appreciate the write up! It also helps those who can't watch the videos for whatever other reason and you're so good at including the details.

Can't wait!
