Complete story — includes the ending

Elizabeth tells Hans that Todd saw him at the site where Venter was killed. Fearful of being excluded from further operations, Hans finds Todd and kills him. Martha, who seems determined to act as if nothing has happened, informs Philip that the FBI's Mail Robot has been sent for repairs after a tense Agent Gaad kicked and broke it. Philip and Elizabeth go to the repair facility to install a recording device inside the Mail Robot and are discovered there by Betty, who had come in to work on the business's books in the middle of the night. The repair facility was started by her late husband and is run by her son. Betty tells Elizabeth about her life and family; moved by Betty's openness, Elizabeth reveals that she is a Russian spy and allows Betty, who now knows she will be killed, to overdose on her heart medication. Stan and Oleg reach a tentative agreement to use Zinaida's possible status as a Soviet mole to secure Nina's freedom.
