Clark's Place
"Clark's Place" is the fifth episode of the fourth season of the American period spy drama television series The Americans. It is the 44th overall episode of the series and was written by co-producer Peter Ackerman, and directed by main cast member Noah Emmerich. It was released on FX on April 13, 2016.
The series is set during the Cold War and follows Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, two Soviet KGB intelligence officers posing as an American married couple living in Falls Church, a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., with their American-born children Paige and Henry. It also explores the conflict between Washington's FBI office and the KGB Rezidentura there, from the perspectives of agents on both sides, including the Jennings' neighbor Stan Beeman, an FBI agent working in counterintelligence. In the episode, Philip tries to help Martha with her problem, while Oleg is informed of Nina's death.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.89 million household viewers and gained a 0.3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the episode's tension, writing and performances.
Philip (Matthew Rhys) meets with Martha (Alison Wright) at Clark's place, explaining he had an emergency and couldn't reach her. Martha tells him that the FBI is closing in on her, having noted that William's surveillance record was copied. To help her, he gives her a new number to call him, which he will definitely check.
In Russia, Oleg (Costa Ronin) is informed of Nina's death by Igor (Boris Krutonog), devastating him. When Oleg blames his father for not even helping her or his brother, Igor suggests he could go back to America. They later attend Yevgeny's funeral, but Igor is forced to fire his gun in the air when he is not given a military funeral. Afterwards, he returns to the Rezidentura, where he reports Nina's death to Arkady (Lev Gorn). However, Arkady is not sympathetic, deeming that it was Nina's fault. He later informs Stan (Noah Emmerich), who shares his feeling of devastation.
Philip and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) meet with Pastor Tim (Kelly AuCoin) and Alice (Suzy Jane Hunt). They bring a Salvadoran priest, Father Rivas (David Anzuelos), who relates that Philip and Elizabeth helped him during the Salvadoran Civil War. This makes Tim change his perception of the Jennings, unaware that the priest is actually lying. Meanwhile, Elizabeth continues spending time with Young Hee (Ruthie Ann Miles), getting more involved in her personal life.
Philip shares his concerns with Gabriel (Frank Langella), fearing that Martha's cover will be blown. Gabriel tells him to continue the operation, claiming he has everything under control. Philip then calls Martha through the new phone line, promising to meet her soon. Finding that Henry (Keidrich Sellati) is spending more time with Stan, Philip decides to visit him and reconcile. Stan is not happy with Philip hanging out with Sandra, but eventually accepts his apology as he considers him "a good guy." Stan then leaves to surveil Martha with Aderholt (Brandon J. Dirden), with Philip meeting Aderholt in the process. Philip recognizes him as the person who took Martha to dine, while Elizabeth also recognizes him from a previous encounter. They proceed to have sex, while Stan and Aderholt stand outside Martha's apartment.
In March 2016, FX confirmed that the fifth episode of the season would be titled "Clark's Place", and that it would be written by co-producer Peter Ackerman, and directed by main cast member Noah Emmerich. This was Ackerman's fourth writing credit, and Emmerich's second directing credit.
