THONY: Previously on
"The Cleaning Lady"...

You think you can short leave my g*ns?

- Hey!
- [g*nsh*t]

You ever see any of these
guys at the warehouse?

- No.
- No?

- This is about my son!
- [g*nsh*t]

PERSON: Oh...

I didn't see anything, I swear,
but I did see something here.

And how is it we're
missing some merchandise?

No one steals from us, Jimmy.

[g*nshots]

After I finish here today, I
want out of our arrangement.

But the second you're out on your own,

I can no longer protect you.

I lied. You were born in Manila.

JAZ: I think Luca's sick.

He's dying. He almost
didn't make it, Fi.

I don't know what it is...
I can't stop watching.

Well, let me know if you

want to do something
more than just watch.

I'd be happy to provide a private room.

[CHUCKLES] Thanks, Arman, but...

I couldn't do that to
Isabel. I'm crazy about her.

- Arman.
- Hey.

Ben, hey. Welcome to the family.

[CHUCKLES]

You remember, you hurt my sister,

I'm gonna take you to the desert

and I'm gonna sh**t you.

BOTH: [CHUCKLE]

They'll never find you. All right.

Ladies.

THONY: [WHISPERS] Kay.

[QUIETLY] So like a spaceship,

the stem cells go back into your body

carrying healthy genes,

and once they land, they take over.

And then I'll be like other kids.

Yes.

Are you ready?

- Yes.
- Yeah?

Today's the trial. Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Time for blast off.

Let's go.

Three...

TOGETHER: Two, one.

Blast off!

That's good, my love.

THONY: Who's this?

It's the guy who saved my life.

Hmm.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

It's not what you think.

We had a bachelor party here last night.

It got a little outta hand.

Hayak's daughter is getting married.

I have a cleaning crew on the way.

I just figured we could
use your special touch.

Arman, wait. Um...

I got something for you.

Luca drew this.

He wanted to thank you
for saving his life.

You're his hero.

His trial starts today.

It wouldn't have happened without you.

Well, I'm glad Luca's
gonna be all right.

I wanna pay you back for his care

- at Doctor Saroyan's clinic.
- That's not necessary.

Yes, it is. I'll need extra work.

Well...[SIGHS]

it's gonna be a busy
week with the wedding.

I could use your help here at the club.

Thank you.

[SOFTLY] All right.

Chris, why are you wearing flip-flops?

I-I told you to wear
something nice today.

Yeah, my nice shoes
are too small, remember?

These are the only ones that fit.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- WYATT: Hi, there.

You must be Fiona.

- I'm Wyatt.
- Hello.

This is my son Chris, and
this is my daughter Jaz.

Uh, so, Chris, I understand
that you are interested

in applying for DACA,

and it says here that, uh,
your dad was a U.S. citizen?

- Is that right?
- Yes.

Uh, we met in the Philippines,

but when I found out I was pregnant,

Jacob had already moved to the States.

So-so we-we applied
for a fiancée visa,

but by the time I got it,
Chris was already born.

So Chris was born in
Manila, not in the U.S.

Which she lied to me about for years.

Chris.

WYATT: And when you
finally got to America,

why didn't you get married?

Jacob got in a car accident, and...

and, uh, he d*ed.

[SCOFFS]

Well, Chris, based on this,

I do think you have
a viable path to citizenship.

Oh, my God, he does? Really?

It'll take some time and resources,

but I'm very confident.

Why don't you look
over this fee schedule,

- and then we'll talk.
- FIONA: Sure.

All right, here we go, kids.

- Daddy!
- Oh, hey, buddy.

[CHUCKLES] Mwah.

Are you coming to my birthday party?

You know what, Sammy?

I'm gonna talk to
Mommy about that, okay?

- DAYCARE WORKER: Come on, Sam.
- Oh!

Looks like you gotta
scoot. Have fun, pal.

Good morning, ASAC Russo.

I just spoke to
the U.S. Attorney's Office.

- Okay.
- They have concerns about

the Barsamian investigation.

What's their problem?

- You.
- [CHUCKLES]

They don't think you can
deliver a prosecutable case...

Well, there's nothin' to worry about.

I'm working on a new informant.

About that... I went
through your case notes.

Theo LaMont made repeated
requests to get out.

Oh, come on, have you
ever known an informant

who didn't try to wiggle off the hook?

And now he's dead.

Which is why I'm not
gonna let Arman Morales

just waltz away after k*lling him.

It's not just Theo.

It's what you did on
the Cortez case too.

I know, I know.

I should've taken myself off that case.

No, I should've fired you after
you slept with an informant.

Pushing paper for a year was worse.

Really, Garrett?

Colleen left, okay?

And the reunion tour's
not lookin' so good.

Do you think I like this position

that you keep putting me in?

You know, you're a good boss,

but you were a lot
more fun in the field.

I don't know why you gave that up.

It's called a promotion, Garrett.

[CHUCKLES]

We need fresh eyes
on the Barsamian case.

That's the wrong move.

This cleaning lady
is gonna come through.

- I know it.
- She agreed to cooperate?

Just give me some more time.

I can turn her.

Do I have to worry?

No. Absolutely not.

If you can't turn her,
you're off the case.

Mm-hmm.

[UNEASY MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT]

Hello.

This is Luca, and I'm Thony.

Hi, I'm Janna, and my son Hudson.

Nice to meet you.

Are you here for the trial too?

- Yeah.
- Oh.

I thought we were the only ones here.

We moved here from Scottsdale
to be a part of this.

[EXHALES] We came from the Philippines.

Wow. Okay, you win.

[CHUCKLES]

Mommy, can I play with the toys?

Oh, I already sanitized
all the toys twice.

BOTH: [CHUCKLE]

Yeah, go and have fun.

You brought walkie-talkies?

Yes, just in case Luca and I

are separated during the procedure

so we can still talk.

Thony, Janna.

It's so nice to see you both again.

- Thony, could I have a word?
- THONY: Mm-hmm.

So Luca's preliminary
test results came back,

and his liver function
is slightly abnormal.

- Can I see?
- Of course.

Thank you.

His INR is elevated.

- Total bilirubin's up.
- That's right.

So because of the numbers,

we're going to have to
postpone the procedure

and get Luca retested.

Well, he's right on the border.

Yeah. Unfortunately, it's not up to me.

These clinical trials
are strictly regulated.

Dr. Han in Hepatology
is waiting upstairs.

There'll be a series of
tests that'll last the day.

Um...

Thank you, Doctor.

[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT]

Mommy, can you open these?

[SIGHS]

Well, actually, the doctor said

that we have to wait a little longer

before you can start the trial.

Why?

Because you have to do a few more tests.

- I'm sorry, peanut.
- Oh...

Why don't we give these
to Hudson and his mommy?

- Okay.
- THONY: Yeah?

Hey, you guys hold on
to them till next time.

It's just a bump in the road, Thony.

Thank you.

[BEEP]

[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT]

Oh, thanks.

Oh, God, that's awful. [SMALL LAUGH]

I don't have time for this.

I need to get back to my son.

What are you even doing here?

I'm here because you lied.

You claimed you didn't
know Arman Morales,

but...

here you are.

That's your son, right?

He's adorable.

You know, lying to a
federal agent is a felony.

I could deport you for that.

Or...

we could start over,

and you can tell me the truth this time.

I clean for Mr. Morales now and then.

Which is why I want you
to be my eyes and ears

inside Arman's organization.

It's the perfect cover.

You want me to... spy for you?

- No.
- Thony, Thony, listen.

If you work with me, okay,
I can offer you a way out.

I can offer you protection.

And if not, well, I make one phone call,

and you're on a plane
back to the Philippines.

And good luck finding
a stem cell trial there.

Are you threatening my son?

I'm just... I'm just stating the facts.

This... this is Luca's
only chance to live.

You take that away, you k*ll him.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

Can you believe it?

My baby girl is getting married.

[CHUCKLES]

You know, this wedding

made me reflect on my life,

all I've built,

my legacy,

all I have achieved with you by my side.

You are a part of my legacy, Arman.

Thank you.

Hayak, it's a pleasure.
It's an... it's an honor.

Now I have a favor to ask.

There's an Armenian tradition
that every wedding guests

bring the bride a monetary gift.

Mmm.

I was wondering if you could make sure

that our valued friends

understand the importance
of this tradition.

Do you have a figure in mind?

Oh, I-I have this...

[UNEASY MUSIC]

[CHUCKLES]

What?

You're serious?

This is just a ballpark.

I mean, use your own
judgment. I trust you.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Why didn't you ask me to do that?

That should be my job.

Don't worry, son.

I have a very special role
for you in mind as well.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

What is it?

You will see, but for now,

some things are best handled by Arman.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

ARMAN: [CHUCKLES] Come on, Your Honor.

We both know you've had some
indiscretions at the club.

Just think about this
grand as an investment.

ARMAN: Thank you.

No, he'll be delighted to hear that.

Your Honor, thank you so
much. And we'll see you there.

Well, it's a sacred
Armenian tradition, Senator.

Every guest is required
to bring a monetary gift.

ARMAN: Yeah?

Well, what can I say,
Senator? Thank you.

Thank you, Senator.
I knew you'd come through.

No, no, come on.
Too rich for your blood?

Come on, Stephen, I mean,
the last time I saw you,

you were cage-side at
the McGregor/Khabib fight.

Yeah.

What I'm asking from you
a fraction of that right now.

SINGER: ♪ Let me catch my... ♪

ARMAN: Thank you. That's
what I wanted to hear.

How's it going?

Well, I made a big dent,
but look who's left.

You can do it, babe.

Just keep your eye on the prize.

You pull this off for Hayak,
he won't be able to say no

to making you an equal
partner in the hotel.

You know, he might
already be thinking that.

Why do you say that?

Well, I, uh, yesterday he was, uh...

he was talking about

how he's been thinking about his legacy

and how I'm a big reason his
business is so successful.

Because you are.

But you need to think about your legacy.

- Hmm.
- What do we own?

Nothing.

Armando, you need to make
your ask at the reception.

You know, when Hayak's
feeling like the big man.

- Mm-hmm?
- [PHONE VIBRATES]

Lucky us. The moocher himself.

- Ah... okay.
- But you have to take that.

Councilman.

COUNCILMAN KNIGHT: Hey, Arman.

Hey, listen, I've, uh...

I have a bit of an emergency.
I need your help.

Well, my hands are
full, Eric. Can it wait?

COUNCILMAN KNIGHT:
No. No, it can't wait.

This is a situation
that affects all of us.

What is it?

There's a... there's another...

Another councilman.

His name is Charles Burton, okay?

This guy's a real jackass.

It turns out, he found out about our...

our arrangements, you know,

and, uh, he's... he's
threatening to talk, he's...

Arman, he's gonna name names.

How much does he want?

Half a million dollars.

Here's what you're gonna do, Eric.

You're gonna tell him he's
gonna get what he wants.

He's just gonna have to
come by the club to get it.

This is my cash-out.

Yeah, you took a big swing,
Charles, I get it.

I respect that.

This is the famous La Habana, huh?

Yeah.

Heard a lotta great
things about this place,

but never been inside.

Well, we have a very
exclusive clientele,

and we limit the number of guests, so...

That's true.

I mean, I-I can't even get
a table here on the weekend.

Hey, why don't I give you

I didn't tell anyone.

O-okay! Okay, Arman!

I think he gets the message.

Get out.

ARMAN: Get outta here!

This is bad, Arman. This is really bad.

No, no, I swear. I swear I won't talk.

- Come on, get him

You could have k*lled him.

Clean it up.

This isn't what I signed up for.

You said you wanted to

Clean it up.

[DARK, HEAVY MUSIC]

[GRUNTS]

Hey, what's that? What are you doing?

You okay, Thony?

[SNIFFING] What's that smell?

There was a grease spill
at a fast food joint.

Alonzo sent me.

Alonzo doesn't have
any fast food places.

It was in a casino.

Can you just grab me
some, um, dish soap?

Yeah, sure.

GARRETT: Look, I'm his Dad too.

I mean, can I just bring over his bike?

What? You got... You got him the bike?

Okay. No, I mean, I thought, I...

I know I told you that
I was gonna get him...

Okay, no, it's fine. I gotta go.

[SIGHS]

Oh, sit.

Sit down. It's my wife.

Actually, we're separated.

She's having a birthday party for him,

and not only am I not invited,
but she already bought him

the present that
I told her I was getting.

Sorry about that.

I'm glad you wanted to meet. What's up?

You said you could offer me protection.

I wanna know how.

Did something happen?

[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT]

Okay.

Well, it all depends on
whether you can give us

something that we can actually
use for our investigation.

I won't do anything that
will endanger my life,

and you have to agree not to deport me.

Thony, if you prove
to me I can trust you

and give me something I can
use... you've got a deal.

What kind of information
are you looking for?

I hear there's a big,
fat Armenian wedding

coming up for the Barsamian family.

Have you noticed Arman
up to anything unusual?

It sounded like he's in charge

of collecting money as gifts.

Think you can get inside?

I want to know who's giving those gifts.

I'm not working the wedding.

Oh.

You're resourceful. I'm
sure you can figure it out.

Ah.

[NADIA YELLING IN SPANISH, MUFFLED]

No! The smoked salmon canapés

should be served during
the cocktail hour,

not during dinner.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

I just finished up in the kitchen.

I could help you straighten
up in here if you'd like.

You're Thony, right?

Yes.

You're the woman who cleaned my party.

You look... different.

Yeah, I forgot my high heels at home.

I could actually use your help.

This place is a disaster.

How's the wedding planning going?

NADIA: Oh, everyone is incompetent.

But I think that's why
my husband's boss asked me

to take care of it.

Well, if you need an extra hand

setting up the wedding,
I'm happy to help.

I could really use the extra work.

But I understand if you
have to ask your husband.

I don't have to ask Arman anything.

When it comes to my husband,
I usually get my way.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

Thony. What are you doing here?

I asked her to come.

She needed the work, and
I needed the extra help.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Oh.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Ma'am, I'm just gonna
put this in the kitchen.

Why do you care so much anyway?

She's just the help, isn't she?

Just do what you want. You always do.

[UPBEAT ARMENIAN FOLK MUSIC]

GUEST: Ooh!

[GUESTS MURMUR, EXCLAIM]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Today, we celebrate

not only the union of my
precious Isabel and Ben.

But we also celebrate

our history, our culture,

as we join two Armenian families.

Our people have suffered
so much heartbreak and loss,

our homeland torn apart by w*r.

But no matter where we are,

no matter where we go in the world,

Armenia will remain our home.

Which is why I'm proud to announce

that I will be sending my son Tarik

to join the Armenian m*llitary

to help reclaim our
land from Azerbaijan.

I'm sure he will make us all proud.

Son.

reading under that tree.

BOTH: [CHUCKLE]

Hey.

What is it?

Oh, nothing, I... just
needed a little air.

Kay.

A gift for the bride.

Oh, Arman.

You know I used to love to ride.

Yeah.

I haven't ridden in years now.

Well, something to remind
you of the past then.

Do you ever think about the past?

About us?

I'm happy for you, Isabel.

It wasn't me, you know. It was my dad.

That letter I wrote you?

Isabel, that was a long time ago.

Yes, but my dad made me write it.

I didn't want to break up with you.

He made me do it.

Why?

You know my dad.

I mean, you have to marry an Armenian

and think about your children's future.

- You can't date the help.
- Yeah.

Oh God, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

[UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES]

It wasn't meant to be.

I'll never forget.

Neither will I.

[DOOR OPENS]

What are you doing here?

Uh, I'm here to clean, sir.

Yeah, in the money room?

I don't think so.

Are you stealing from us?
Empty your pockets.

That's it, isn't it? You're a thief.

- I-I'm just working here.
- Yeah.

Oh, I know you.

You're the cleaning lady
who works with Arman.

Oh, okay.

[SNIFFS, CLEARS THROAT]

So what's going on with you two?

Is he slummin' it? Yeah?

You know, it's okay.

Arman, he's an impostor too.

You know, he poisoned
my own father against me.

THONY: I'm sorry.

Hey, let's see what
you're taking from us, huh?

Empty your pockets. Empty your pockets.

Get off. Get off me!

Hey, hey!

What is the matter with
you? Get outta here!

She's stealing from us.

That's why she won't empty her pockets.

Show him.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

Don't.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Don't.

Are you scared of me now?

You're not the man I thought you were.

What am I then?

[SHOUTS] What am I?

Say it. You think I'm a monster?

You're so sanctimonious,

yet you leech off me every
time you need my help.

You don't get to judge me

and still take from
the fruits of my labor.

I only did this to help my family.

Am I so different?

You didn't have to stay with Hayak.

You chose to work with him

against your own father's wishes...

That's enough.

You gave up your real
family for these people.

These horrible people.
Was it all worth it?

[THUMP]

Next time you need help,
don't come running to me.

Arman. How did we do with the gifts?

I think you'll be pleased.

You always come through for me.

One more thing.

Councilman Knight texted.

He cannot make it to the wedding.

Oh, that's a shame.

It's not just a shame.
It's disrespectful.

Why don't you go and fetch him for me?

We're just about to head over to church.

I could have somebody else go get him...

No, Arman, no. It has to be you.

I-I can't miss the ceremony.

If you leave now,

maybe you can make it back in time.

Yes. Thank you, son.

See you later.

[TAPPING]

FIONA: Um, you hungry?

I'm about to make some afritada.

Vote, study abroad,
get a driver's license,

see the Eiffel Tower, be a firefighter,

meet my grandparents,
run for president...

Chris, what are you talking about?

These are all the things
I can't do anymore

because I'm undocumented.

Now I'm a TNT just like you.

Chris, I swear,

I'll... I'll come up with
the money for the lawyer...

[LAUGHS] How?

You'll never get your life together.

You're... you're a mess.

I will. I promise.

Your promises don't mean anything.

All you ever do is lie.

Okay.

Okay, no more lies.

Your... your father's not dead.

What?

Your real father was a one-night stand

I had in Manila, and...

I knew there was no future with him,

and my last boyfriend, Jacob,

had already moved to the States,

so I... I convinced him you were his,

but when we got here,
he found out the truth.

Oh, my God.

And I know. I know.

It was a terrible thing to do,

but I... you know,

I was just young and
stupid, and I just...

[CRYING]

But I just wanted what was best for you.

Please, please don't hate me, anak.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

[SOBS]

Hey.

So what do you have for me?

- Walkie-talkies?
- I'm sorry.

I couldn't get what you asked for,

but I didn't want to come empty-handed.

Okay.

I thought you could give these
to your son for his birthday.

Luca's around his
age, and he loves them.

You know, when Luca was diagnosed...

Doctors gave him a year to live.

But then a birthday went by...

And another one,

and another one, and
each one was a gift.

I don't know what's
going on with your wife,

but if you want to see
your son on his birthday,

you don't have to ask for permission.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

- Hey.
- Hey.

What are you doing here?

I just came to drop this off.

It's walkie-talkies.

Apparently, it's all the rage
with five-year-olds.

Look...

I know you said you
wanted boundaries, okay?

And you have every right.
Every right, Colleen.

But this... this isn't
about us right now.

This is about Sam.

It's about our boy and his birthday.

So just think about it.
All right, think about it.

What... what does Sammy get every year

when we cut his birthday cake? Huh?

A visit from the Cookie Monster...

Don't. Don't, please.

[AS COOKIE MONSTER]
Colleen, please let me

come to birthday party.

Cookie Monster wants to eat
cookies at the birthday party.

[CHUCKLES] Come on.

Ah, there it is. I got you.

But don't deprive Sammy
of the things that he loves

because of my mistakes.

He's still my son.

I got Luca's results.

I'm afraid his liver damage is
more extensive than we thought.

It's because of the
adenovirus, isn't it?

Yes.

He's gonna need a liver transplant.

I'm sorry, Thony,

this disqualifies him from the trial.

No. No, no. No, no.

We need to fix his immune system now,

or he'll never survive
a liver transplant.

You know it. He needs
this trial, or he'll die.

- I understand that, but...
- There has to be another way.

You can use his old
INR and T-bili numbers.

You can just push it through.

You know I can't do that, Thony.

The rules for this trial
are strict for a reason.

If just one child presents
with organ failure,

it could shut the trial
down for everyone.

I could pay you.

You can do the treatment off the books.

No one would have to know.

Thony, that would be unethical.

I think you should leave now.
