Anita Arnon: 在之前的几集中，我们介绍了参与者的名单、幕后交易以及他们的小秘密，甚至包括他们自己都不知道已经被卖给苏联的秘密。现在他们要见面了，罗斯福的飞行旅程非常艰辛。斯大林对安全问题非常重视，采取了包括清洗潜在对手和清除克里米亚鞑靼人等极端措施。他没有亲自迎接与会者，而是派莫洛托夫前往，这被英国代表团视为一种明显的怠慢。各方不仅担心苏联控制了东欧，也担心罗斯福的状态。
William Drimple: 丘吉尔神采奕奕地下飞机，而罗斯福则需被用轮椅抬下飞机，他坚持不希望媒体拍摄到他脆弱的时刻。罗斯福不希望受丘吉尔的约束，这预示着英国战后地位的衰落。斯大林担心纳粹袭击，制定了严格的飞机进场协议，以防误伤。英国代表团担心罗斯福的健康状况不佳。罗斯福和丘吉尔在停机坪上的互动，被视为国际形象的展示。斯大林已在自己的地堡中准备就绪，这只是游戏和立场形成的开始。
