04x21 - Clean House

[bunniefuu]

My brother was just
when he was m*rder*d.

The guy who k*lled him has cancer.

Wants to get out of prison early.

Keep this k*ller in the cage.

Let justice be served.

They're asking for a new trial?

Based on what?

Actual innocence.

The prosecutor withheld evidence.

What's in the prosecutor's file?

They said there's a statement
in there from a witness

who claims she saw your brother
arguing with a white man.

A white man? Then it couldn't
have been Larry Davis.

I wanna see that file.
Where's the lawyer's number?

Special Agent Remy Scott, FBI.

It's about her client,
Larry Michael Davis.

Yeah, go ahead.

Counselor.

Agent Scott.

How's he doing?

Better.

The chemo seems to be helping,

and his last radiation
treatment is tomorrow.

So caught him on a good day.

This witness statement

that the prosecutor
failed to disclose...

Look, I can't share any information

about Mr. Davis' case
until after he agrees

to sign the waiver of privilege.

It could prove my brother's
k*ller is still out there.

It can also prove an innocent man

has been in prison for years.

If you've come to spit on my grave,

you've come a little early.

No, Mr. Davis, I haven't.

"Mr. Davis."

That's a change from
what you've been calling me

for the last years...

m*rder*r.

All the evidence
pointed in your direction.

All the evidence a r*cist DA
allowed the jury to hear.

I see now there's more
to this case than I knew.

I flew all the way down here
to talk to you in person.

I know why you're here.

- What do you say?
- What do I say?

I say how about an apology first

for everything you've done to me.

I'm sorry you didn't get a fair trial.

I'm sorry for your cancer
and your suffering.

But until I know
what happened to my brother,

that's all I can apologize for.

This case has never
been about the truth.

Well, it can be now.

If you agree to a waiver of privilege,

I can find this witness.

Have you ever heard of this woman...

Hey, hey, we said
no questions about the case.

All I'm saying is if I can locate her

and this person
who really k*lled my brother,

it exonerates you in the process.

It's a win-win for both of us.

At least let me try.

Let me think about it.

Mr. Davis...

Have a good flight home.

We're almost there.

English.

Remember, we... we have to practice.

We've been on this bus forever.

Do you think we'll be able
to see the Statue of Liberty?

I just want to look at something

that's not the back of this guy's head.

It's...

Everything.

This way, Xiomara.

We're from Venezuela.

Oh, beautiful country.

Yeah. I mean, it's terrible
what's happening down there.

Maria, one of my employees,
she's from San Miguel.

Oh, we're from Caigua,
right down the road.

No kidding?

Wow, what a small world.

Hey, do you ladies have a sponsor yet?

I could help you with
your immigration paperwork,

offer you a place to stay
till you get up on your feet.

What's the catch?

Well, there's no catch,
but I don't do it for free.

You'd be paying off your
debt by working for me.

But the fact that you two speak English,

you'll be making money pretty fast.

What kind of work would
we be doing exactly?

Ah.

Just cleaning.

Oh, those are government employees.

You can trust them,
but they're going to send you

to live in a very cramped hotel.

If you're lucky,
you're gonna have a room

with like five or six
other people with you.

Do you guys have family back in Caigua?

Mm-hmm.

And they expect you
to send money back to them?

Yes.

I'm offering you a more comfortable,

more exclusive way to establish
yourself here in America.

We don't know you.

You haven't even told us your name.

I'm so sorry.

My name is Carlos.

I think you're right.

You're probably better off
with the government workers.

There are a bunch of other people

who'll probably jump at my offer.

But thank you.

Buenos suerte. Good luck to you both.

Should we trust him?

We can't trust the government.

They will deport us
the first chance they get.

If we have jobs and a sponsor,
we'll be able to stay.

We don't know anybody else here.

We'll be together.

I'll protect you.

I'm the one who protects you.

Wait.

So your sponsorship paperwork,

that costs $ to file, each.

And your apartment plus power and water,

that's $ , a month for each of you.

And you're going to need
uniforms, at least three sets,

but I got you a good deal
on those, $ a set.

That is a lot of money.

Well, no, like I said,
I'll pay for everything,

and you can work off the debt.

The good news is you can start tonight.

- Tonight?
- Yeah, the sooner you start,

sooner you're making money, huh?

Isn't that what you want?

Where are we?

Why did we leave the city?

All right, let's go.

Get out.

OK.

I'm investing a lot into you two...

the trust, money,

my reputation.

I need to know you're invested, too.

What happened to her?

Oh, she... she couldn't be trusted.

She was a liar.

No... no, this isn't what we agreed to.

Well, you said that
you were willing to work

for your place here.

Are you two liars too?

OK, so first job,

we're gonna bury this liar.

Bien?

Nothing in America is free.

You want your freedom, your citizenship,

you have to earn it any way you can.

You're the liar.

You lied to us.

Regina, Regina, por favor.

You tricked us.

_

- Regina, no!
- Run!

_

No, no!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my...

What's going on?

Slow down. I don't understand.

You need help.

Por favor, por favor.

No, no, no. Can I...
can I come in the house please?

Please, please,
can I come into the house?

No! No!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Is there anything that can
help us identify the girl...

tattoos, braces?

A necklace.

It was half of a heart.

I'm so sorry. I should have let her in.

He could have k*lled you.

I just wish I saw more of him.

We're gonna have you speak
with a sketch artist.

Anything you can remember about the girl

and the guy that took her
would be helpful.

OK. Thank you.

Take her.

Our missing girl is petite.

Size shoe.

Yeah, our witness puts her
at about pounds,

her abductor twice her size.

He pulled up in a black passenger van,

dragged her away at gunpoint.

She get a good look at the van's plates?

When he flashed his g*n,
she closed the door.

She just ran back in there and hid, huh?

She was scared.

Yeah. And so was she.

Witness doesn't have any cameras,

so this is all we have
in our missing girl.

Local PD said a hiker found
two bodies in a grave

about five miles from here.

I'm going to check in with Kristin,

see if she was able to ID
any of the bodies they found.

Yeah.

Yeah. Thank you.

Thanks.

Barnes said our kidnap victim
was covered in dirt,

but the witness didn't mention
the blue streak in her hair

so she must have been here and then ran

to the house where her abductor,

a Latin male, caught up with her.

OK, I was able to ID the woman
with the blue streak in her hair.

Her name's Regina Marquez, years old.

She's an asylum seeker from Venezuela.

CBP has her crossing the border
in El Paso two weeks ago,

and it says here
she's registered on a bus

that arrived here last night.

Well, governor of Texas has been

busing migrants up from
border cities in New York.

Part of their ongoing publicity stunt

explaining our status
as a sanctuary city.

ME has Regina's time of
death four to six hours ago,

which means that she was k*lled here.

Our other victim, the housekeeper,

her time of death is a little earlier,

which means that she was most
likely k*lled elsewhere

- and then transported here.
- And nothing on her ID?

No, she's not coming up on the database.

OK.

That's half of a best friend's necklace.

According to the witness,

our abducted girl
was wearing the other half.

So they were probably
traveling together.

It looks like those buses dropped off

at the Colston Hotel.

OK, I'll call Remy,
have him meet me there.

Maybe we can ID our missing girl.

I'll run all the license cams
into New Jersey,

see if we can get an ID on the driver.

OK. Ray and Barnes should
head to the office

of asylum seekers operations.

We've had over , migrants

bussed here since last year.

Most of them come here with
nothing, knowing no one.

How many people have sponsors here?

Some. And when they work,
they are a huge help

with a high success rate.

But in reality,
sponsorship scams are rampant.

People posing as fake sponsors?

They're like coyotes on U.S. soil.

They prey on migrants at bus stations,

promising to front expenses
that migrants

are forced to work off as that's...

One of our victims was
in a housekeeper uniform.

Very popular occupation
for our female migrants.

They're only paid a few dollars an hour

and continually charged for expenses,

so they're never able to
climb their way out of debt.

That sounds like indentured servitude.

Asylum seekers are willing to give up

almost everything
for a life that's better

than the one they've left behind.

Have you noticed a pattern
of migrant women going missing?

No, but it's hard to say.

Migrants move to other cities,
return home.

Once the refugee's out of our housing,

it can take a while before we
know where they've relocated.

We have the name
of a teenager we believe

was bussed here last night,
and it's possible

our abducted teen
was on the same bus as her.

I can get you the manifest.

OK.

_

Gracias.

No one's gonna talk to us.

We're the federales. Can you blame them?

I only see women and children here.

Where are all the men?

They're at an evacuation
center in Red Hook

they've turned into temporary housing.

You are the FBI?

- Yes, we are.
- How can I help you?

Most of the people here won't
even make eye contact with us,

and you're offering to help?

The police help me greatly.

My name is Graciela.

I'm from Celaya, Mexico.

There, it is very bad.

My son, he was m*rder*d.

The police find his k*ller and...

it doesn't bring my son back.

_

_

Sorry for your loss.

There's a bus that came in
from El Paso last night.

Yes, some of those people
from the bus are here.

We believe a teenager
who was on that bus

was abducted this morning
and is in grave danger.

We know that she was traveling

with a friend of hers.

We don't know her name.

Do you see the necklace she's wearing?

Best friends.

Yeah, so the girl we're looking for

was wearing the other half
of that heart.

And also a black passenger van

that we think could be
coming here to pick up

young women, teenage girls.

Yes, many bosses, vans
come here to pick up people.

And it's a black van?

Yes. If you see one
or have any information,

if you could call me.

_

_

Ah, here we are.

All yours. Eh?

What you want me to do now?

Well, we put on the uniform
and get ready for work.

I don't feel good.

Come.

Come.

_

You know, I'm a migrant too, in a sense.

I came from California to New York.

I'm chasing the American dream.
I'm just like you.

What happened to Regina?

Don't worry about last night.

OK? I don't blame you for what happened.

It's in the past.
There's nothing to be done.

She was my friend.

Yeah, and I'm your friend now,

and I'm offering you a gift.

Every day, hundreds of girls

just like you come to New York,

and they would do anything
for the opportunity

that you have right now.

I just... I just wanted...

Exactly what you have?

A job, a new life,

if you're willing to work for it.

You're very special.

I could tell.
I could tell the moment I saw you.

And you're pretty lucky.

You're gonna work
for the most powerful man

in all of New York City.

You?

Me? No, no.

This man owns half of New York.

No, we're both pretty lucky to know him,

but he's gonna make
your dreams come true

just like he did mine.

Promise.

What if I don't want our deal anymore?

Your fingerprints are
at the scene of a crime.

You helped bury a woman's body.

I didn't k*ll anybody.

Well, maybe the police will believe you.

But do you think ICE will care?

They're gonna deport you.

All right.

Come on. Let's get dressed.

Go ahead.

I'll wait.

_

This is the manifest of the
passengers from last night.

Here is Regina Marquez.

That means she was abducted
as soon as she got off the bus.

Her and her friend could
have been loaded into that van

with all kinds of promises.

OK, we got a sketch of the kidnapper.

Run that against
last night's security footage

from the bus terminal.

Mm-hmm.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Right there, you see it?

That's Regina.

Who's that other girl she's with?

Mm-kay, I'm running her face now.

And there's the other half of the
heart necklace Regina was wearing.

Xiomara Torres, , from Venezuela.

And that's a man they're talking to.

Is there a clean sh*t of him?

No. His face is obstructed by a hat.

Any footage of them getting
into a black passenger van?

Yes.

But there's no clear sh*t of the plates.

All right, let's go
wide with Xiomara's picture

as an endangered missing person.

Hold back the sketch of her abductor.

We don't wanna spook him.

What are we doing here?

Oh, we need to pick up
the rest of my staff.

You didn't think you'd have
to clean all those rooms

by yourself, did you?

Hey, listen, don't tell the others

about our arrangement, OK?

You know, they'd be very jealous

at all those extra perks I'm giving you.

Yeah.

Come on, ladies. Come on.

Hola, Claudia, Lucinda, buenos dias.

This my new friend over here, huh?

Xiomara. Come on in.

Vamos, vamos, vamos.

I understand, but this is helpful.

Thank you for calling, Graciela.

Who was that?

A migrant woman Remy and I met earlier

today at the coast, and she said

a black van just left the hotel.

It was picking up
some cleaners, young ones.

She get a look at the license plate?

Yeah, she took a photo.

New York, P-D- .

Van belongs to New Orange Staffing.

- They have a number?
- Yeah, right here.

OK, I'm gonna call them.
Find out where they're heading.

This is a meat packing plant.

That's our van, but it's empty.

There's plenty of ways
to dispose of a body in here.

FBI. We're looking for...

No, no, no, no, we're here to help.

It's OK. You're all right.

- It's OK. It's OK.
- Hey, hey, hey. It's OK.

We're here to help, all
right? We're here to help.

You're safe. You're safe. It's OK.

FBI! Hands in the air.

Yeah, yeah, my hands are up.

Trubinsky hires us to come in
at the end of the day

and make sure the equipment
and floor is cleaned

before the day shift
starts next morning.

Do they know their entire
crew is underage minors?

We ask for all mandated paperwork

before hiring any employee.

Minors can work starting at age .

These kids are clearly nowhere near .

Most of the paperwork we get

is given to us by their sponsors.

We act in good faith
and assume it's accurate.

You assume it's accurate?

Is that standard?

Look, you don't hear the
desperation in their voices

when they come looking for work.

This is a good legitimate job.

Hey, we're all after
the American dream here.

Xiomara Torres, she's .

Have you seen her?

No.

Sorry.

This is Alma.

She's the head of housekeeping here.

She'll teach you everything
you need to know.

We're behind schedule. Keep up.

No. No, no, come, come.

You have everything, right?
Good, good, good.

Come. OK, ladies, over here.

You'll do.

You're his type.

Whose type?

I don't know anything about cleaning.

Do you know how to make a bed?

That's enough.

_

We speak English here.

You have a choice with this job, yeah?

If you do well, you'll advance,

get your citizenship like me, hmm?

This room is bigger
than my family's house.

It's OK. You can go outside.

Beautiful view, isn't it?

Perd n, I'm sorry. I'll come back later.

It's all right.

You see that building over there?

The one with the point?

That's the Chrysler Building.

I'm talking about
the one in front of it.

I built that.

You're the powerful man,
the one I work for?

Yeah.

I don't always feel like it though.

I'm going through a divorce.

I got two kids, boy and my little girl.

They don't wanna live with me.

You know how much that hurts?

I-I should go,
but I'll come back later, OK?

No, no, no, no, no.
I'm glad you're here.

Gets lonely when it's just me.

Come on.

Come on. Let's... let's go inside.

Thank you, uh, for the job.

Put your hair down.

Oh. It's OK.

It's easier to work that way.

Come on, relax.

You're prettier with
your hair down, I bet.

- Don't embarrass me.
- I'm not.

I just... I just wanna do my work.

Beautiful.

Mm.

Come on.

Let's turn the shower on.

We'll get to know each other better.

It's all right.

I won't tell if you don't.

I... I... I should just do my work.

I'm telling you what your job is,

and your job is to shower with me...

No.

You're telling me no.

Fine.

You wanna clean?

Clean it up on your hands and knees.

Hana Banana.

Ooh, what you got there?

Bagels, pastries.

It's not some crappy pastry.

It's the world's greatest
pain au chocolat.

Flaky, dark chocolate.

Mmm, yum.

OK, I assume that your ask

is on par with this deliciousness.

It's about my brother's case.

Oh, yes, uh,
your recent trip to Florida.

Larry Michael Davis gave his
consent to share this with me.

His attorneys are sending all his files,

but she sent me this one
early this morning.

The night Mikey was m*rder*d,
he got into a fight

with someone on the beach
that wasn't Davis.

There was a witness to this fight

that the prosecutor failed to disclose.

That's her statement,
and I need to find her.

She gave her name as Mama Cass?

She was homeless, possibly a drug user.

Remy, I mean, you're asking
me to find a woman in Florida

from years ago with no name?

I know.

But I can get you more croissants.

You know, I kind of have
been looking for a challenge.

I honestly love you.

Guys, I've been running
the plates of all of the vans

that pick up at the Colston Hotel.

One of them is registered

to Alinea Cleaning Solutions,

a staffing agency
owned by Carlos Morales.

Now who does that look like?

Carlos Morales. That's our guy.

- What's his deal?
- American, born in San Diego,

been in New York eight years,
lives in Queens.

Any priors?

A DUI, that's it.

Secretary at Alinea says

he's recruiting this morning
in Red Hook,

where all the migrant men
are being housed.

Muchachos!

_

_

Carlos Morales?
Alinea Cleaning Solutions?

_

_

You take that Carlos.
I'll take this one.

We're looking for another
Carlos Morales.

Alinea Cleaning Solutions.

Have you seen him?

Si.

_

_

Um...

_

Gracias, mi amigo.

Señor.

Carlos. Señor!

He's coming to you! Block the exit!

Agent Scott, we need you
in the parking lot.

Come get him.

- I got him.
- In the back of the van,

there's a secret compartment.

What'd you find?

Not what, but who.

Xiomara.

Welcome to America.

That was the th.

Carlos had the same answer for
every one of their questions.

Let me guess... lawyer, lawyer.

You guessed it.

Well, he can certainly afford it.

Alinea Cleaning Solutions reported

. million in earnings last year.

That's a lot of soluciones.

Well, he doesn't track any of his hires,

not in a way that I could search.

What else do we know about this company?

They're a commercial cleaning company.

They provide janitors
for office buildings,

housekeepers for hotels.

Xiomara was wearing the
same uniform as our Jane Doe.

Carlos had to have known
who our Jane Doe was.

He hired her.

He's not gonna tell us anything

even if he does know her name.

Both of them had
to have been housekeepers

somewhere upscale, right, so
does Alinea have any contracts

at four or five star hotels?

The Dority Hotel, the jewel
box of the Upper East Side.

I'll get on that warrant.

I'm pretty sure ERT accessed
the navigation system

in Carlos' van, so hang on.

Yeah, it stopped at the Dority
twice the night Xiomara d*ed.

OK, give me timestamps.

I can access the cams near the hotel.

: PM and : in the morning.

And there she is.

OK, and this is the morning footage.

With no Xiomara.

ME puts her time of death
at around midnight, so...

Meaning she was m*rder*d at the Dority.

If Carlos didn't k*ll her,
he's working with someone...

Or for someone possibly,

supplying housekeepers to this hotel.

He's keeping quiet.
One of them goes missing,

so the hotel's got
to be allowing this, right?

This is some kind of conspiracy.

Who is Carlos and the hotel protecting?

Maybe a guest, someone powerful.

Xiomara was just years old.

She just didn't waltz in
and start cleaning.

Who's the head of housekeeping
at the Dority?

Alma Iglesias?

Yes?

We're here about Xiomara Torres.

Who?

The new housekeeper who was r*ped

and strangled in this hotel.

You're in charge of housekeeping.

Is that right?

We read your file...
a DACA kid, Dreamer,

originally from Sonora,

and you got your green card
just a few years ago, right?

And worked your way up into corporate.

None of this came easy.

We believe the same person
that k*lled Xiomara

k*lled another housekeeper.

Have you noticed anyone go missing?

I don't know. We use an agency.

Yeah, we know.
Alinea Cleaning Solutions.

We have Carlos Morales in custody.

What is he saying?

Well, he's not cooperating with us.

Alma, come on.

You can help these girls.

You can help us.

The guest you're asking about,

he's stays in the Terrace Suite.

And did he hurt you, too?

His name is Harcourt, Mr. Harcourt.

His name is everywhere on buildings.

Easton Harcourt?

As in Harcourt and Sons,

the property developer?

Is that him?

Don't show me that picture again.

That's him.

So Easton Harcourt is the CEO

of Harcourt and Sons, a massive
commercial real estate firm.

His name's on half
the scaffolding in this city.

Thanks to Easton, he transformed

a small family business into
a billion dollar company.

They had a house a few towns
over from where I grew up.

You know him?

Knew of him.

A housekeeper drowned
at his Hamptons place

when he was ...
death was ruled an accident,

but Easton was
the only one home at the time.

You think she was his first victim?

Kids like Easton were practically

raised by their nannies
and housekeepers.

Some of these brats would even
take out their frustration

and abandonment issues on these people

who could easily be replaced.

Nothing ever to eat here.

Well, it sounds like
he grew up in a world

where no one ever said no to him,

a word he clearly disregards.

Easton's nothing but a tyrant,

and people are too afraid of his power,

too eager for their citizenship
to blow the whistle on him.

But it seems unlikely he's been k*lling

all of these years,

so why is he suddenly
doing it again now?

Could be a new stressor in his life.

Anything that threatens
the family he created

could send them over the edge.

Yeah, well, he's gonna
lawyer up immediately.

So let's use that to our advantage.

Agents.

I'm Marnie Ducat.

I represent Easton Harcourt.

I know you have a warrant.

Remind me to hire a plumber

to fix that leak in the clerk's office.

Yeah. We have more than a warrant.

We have forensic evidence
connecting your client

to the m*rder of a -year-old girl

who was working as a housekeeper

at the Dority Hotel.

Now because your client
is a flight risk,

we've grounded his jet
and put him on a no-fly list.

Bring his passport when you surrender.

Well, naturally, I will confer with him.

Do that.

We strongly suggest that your client

turn himself in immediately.

This really is coming
as quite a surprise.

I'm willing to bet

you've been making hush
payments to Easton's victims

for years now.

You're enabling him.

I get it, it looks good
for a sexual predator

to have a female attorney,

but I'm sure you're well aware
that cases like these

are bombs going off.

Save yourself.

You never know how big
the blast radius will be.

If you'll excuse me.

Done.

Just leaving the meeting now.

Standing by for Easton's location.

Thankfully, lawyers are the
one call rich people will take.

I know this is a little out of the way,

but it offers the best view
of the building.

There she is.

stories?

For now.

I own the air rights to more floors.

Odd, isn't it? Looking at air.

You're not looking at air.

You're looking at space worth
$ , a square foot.

Marnie?

No, that...

I will not.

Fine.

Yeah, I'll meet you there.

Any questions?

Let's discuss it on the way down.

Someone's lying.

The DNA profile they found
in the Terrace Suite

was a match to yours.

I stay in suite whenever I come to town.

Your DNA was also found on the victim.

I guess a r*pe kit was done.

What happened between me
and that girl was consensual.

Consensual? She was .

She wasn't old enough to consent.

? How am I supposed to know that?

It's the same age as my Sophia.

How much do they want?

This is the FBI. They don't want money.

Look, I highly advise you to
play ball, turn yourself in.

The board will fire me.

That's what you're worried about?

Look, you can fix this situation.

Situation?

Yeah, I can't represent you any longer.

Wait, what?

Kristin, we're at rd and st.

- We're at nd Street.
- Where's Easton now?

He's on the bridge
between us, heading north.

OK, let's go.
Who wants to do the honors?

I do.

Look, the settlements I could justify

in that maybe the money
could help these women

pave a better road for themselves.

But m*rder, that is something
that I can't...

I won't backstop.

- I didn't k*ll anyone.
- I don't believe you.

I pay you to believe me.

Not anymore.

Good luck, Easton.

No. You know what?

You're fired.

FBI.

Easton Harcourt, you're under arrest.

Remy, he's headed toward you.

I see him!

- Got him.
- Move, move, move!

FBI, don't move!

It's over, Easton.

The young girl you k*lled in the hotel,

do you even know her name?

Did you even ask?

It was Xiomara Torres.

She was years old.

Say her name.

Say it.

Xiomara Torres.

What about her? You know her name?

- No.
- These women,

these girls, they mattered.

They're not disposable.

They were loved.

And now your name will be
forever linked to theirs.

Hey, man, this is all
a misunderstanding.

You feel me?

Not even a little.

Hana, you get anything on our Jane Doe?

No, she didn't come through.

CBP and anyone
at Alinea Cleaning Solutions

has no record of her.

Now, the people that
should know her name...

Alma, Easton, Carlos...

none of them do,
or they're not telling us.

Well, Easton can still be prosecuted

for Jane Doe's m*rder.

Just like Xiomara,
she was r*ped and suffocated.

- Her r*pe kit came back?
- Yeah.

She's being buried at Hart Island.

In a pauper's grave.

Well, we should go, be there for her.

- I'm in.
- Yeah, let's go.

What's up?

Hey. I know it's late, but I found her.

- Mama Cass?
- Yes.

Her real name's Cassie Fortner.

She's sober now,

runs a Christian rehab clinic in Newark.

I just sent you a screengrab
from their website.

- Thanks, Hana Banana.
- You're welcome.

If you need anything else,
just let me know.

- I will. Good night.
- Good night.
