They can't tell from the pictures if it is the same woman, but when the Centre orders them to kill her anyway, Elizabeth tells Philip they'll make sure when they get there. Elizabeth and Philip break into Natalie's home, and confront her. At first, she denies being Anna, but when her husband comes home, she tearfully admits she was Anna. While Philip isn't sure they should kill them, Elizabeth ends up killing both of them. Afterwards, however, Elizabeth tells Philip they should think about quitting and going home to the Soviet Union.
