Yurchenko stares out the window of the northern Virginia safehouse, a waving American flag reflected in the glass. Bearden is behind him.

An alternative angle shows the many Chevrolets parked in front of the circular street.

Another view shows the townhouse development.

Yurchenko sits at the kitchen table of the safehouse as he is questioned by Bearden.

Yurchenko and Bearden in an open field, as described later in the episode, where Yurchenko is relocated farther out of town onto some acreage.

Peterson hides in the bushes to observe TRIGON at the dead drop in the park. (This anecdote was cut from the final episode.)

Another view of Peterson watching TRIGON from the bushes.

Peterson realizes that the log she left for TRIGON hasn’t been collected and suspects that something is wrong.

A different angle on Peterson’s realization as she stands in the rainy park.

Jamali removes his hat, drawing in a swarm of FBI agents during a sting in the car park.

Another view of the car park sting.

The initial meeting between Jamali and FBI agents at a neighborhood Dunkin’ Donuts.

An imagined portrayal of the meeting with a Russian customer in the Jamalis’ bookstore.

Another bookstore view.

In winter, Shaikh leads recruits in a training camp in the Ontario wilderness.

Another view of Shaikh overseeing the training camp.

Shaikh remains calm as Zakaria Amara pulls out a loaded gun at the dinner table.

In a nighttime meetup, Amara shows Shaikh a primitive cellphone detonator he built, as well as maps of one target: a nuclear power plant.

Another view of the detonator unveiling in the dark of night.

Riding past a war zone of explosions, Carlson sits in the passenger seat of a Toyota Hilux with a scarf concealing her M4 carbine rifle.

Another view of Carlson leaving in the Toyota.

While packing her “go bag,” which included her Glock and passport, Carlson oversees the destruction of documents, laptops, and her bow and arrows in a fire.

Another view of Carlson’s go bag-packing and the fire.

A security guard, his hand on his pistol, stands at the embassy boom gate as Tugboat hands over a case of money. The CIA van is behind him with a Soviet flag flying overhead.

A disguised Tugboat talks to security at the embassy as a CIA agent, reflected in the side mirror, watches. In the puddle reflection, Tugboat’s undisguised identity is revealed.

A low-angle office view focuses on the Dr. Scholl’s foot powder that Mendez is using to disguise Tugboat as a colleague—mustachioed for a vintage look—watches. A fan spins above to hint at the hot environment.

In a dimly lit office, Mendez applies makeup to Tugboat as he tries on a mask.

Mendez disguises Tugboat in a van outside the embassy entrance.

Agents prepare their disguises while Mendez works on Tugboat’s makeup. Details about the operation are evident on the desk to the left.

Tugboat exits the van outside the embassy. A split screen or animation shows a glimpse of his real identity beneath his disguise.

Mendez and Tugboat are silhouetted in the back of a van as she works on his disguise, a can of Dr. Scholl’s foot powder in her hand. He adjusts his tie as the van approaches the embassy security guard.

A closer-to-final version of the van scene.

A view over the shoulder of a U.S. customs agent as Barsky displays a Canadian passport. His bag in the foreground reveals a glimpse of his shortwave radio. The line in the background shows a variety of people in late ’70s attire, perhaps with the suggestion that they’ve just come from Mexico.

Barsky listens to his shortwave radio, running his spy operation out of half of a typical modest New York apartment while his girlfriend and baby live in the other half of the space.

A long-distance shot of a train underpass as Barsky spots the fist-sized red dot on the support pillar.

An alternative take on the scene above.

Two Mossad agents frame their target moments after he realized what has happened and is preparing to flee. The driver and Mashal’s daughter stand shocked at the base of the stairs.

The little girl is in the foreground as she exits the car. One of the Mossad agents looks back in shock, while the other holds the decoy Coke can in his hand, as Mashal sprints off in the distance.

A low-angle view of Mashal running away as he clutches his ear. The Mossad agents watch as the driver (with Mashal’s daughter) shouts to draw attention to the attack.

Another version of the scene with the Coke exploding in the foreground as a distraction.

Fox describes meeting Jakab for the first time in the shadows on a street in Lyon, France, his face illuminated as he lights his cigarette. Shield depicts Jakab as a squarish brute of a man, as Fox described him, and places them under a bridge in Lyon for a European feel.

Another take in Lyon, this time with Fox tailing Jakab through the shadowy streets.

Fox faces herself in the mirror during a sleepless night in Shanghai, where she knows she’s under surveillance. This scene depicts the moment she questions: “What would I do if I were me?” as her husband sleeps in the next room with a bugged smoke detector above their bed.

Jakab and Fox meet at a hotel overlooking a tropical beach in Thailand. They weigh the gravity of the moment as she reveals that she’s a CIA operative and they agree to help each other.
