Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"...

[GRUNTS] I'm just a cleaning lady.

Let me clean it for you.

You did a good job. I want you on call.

Everything I've done
I've done for my son.

Luca's medications are stuck in Mexico.

There's an opportunity here,
and it can benefit both of us.

- [g*nf*re]
- Who are these men?!

It's Sin Cara. So we need
to keep our eyes open.

You really trust him, don't you?

He always shows up when I need him.

Do you love her?

Luca's getting sicker.

It is illegal to administer this drug!

MAN: You are under arrest.

Dr. De La Rosa is an active
asset in a Federal case,

- so she has to be released to me.
- What about Fiona?

If you don't have clearance
on her, she's coming with us.

Do you really trust
the FBI to protect you?

[g*nf*re]

You broke protocols. And now he's dead.

The deal with the FBI fell apart.

She got Mom deported!

You need to help me get her back.

You need to fix this!

What you're asking for is not easy.

And Nadia can't find out about this.

On our next shipment,
I'm bringing someone back.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Open!

Let me in! Hey! Open!



[GRUNTS]



[g*nsh*t]

MAN: Where'd you get that?

Arman Morales.



[GRUNTS]



Okay, Luca.



Which song do you want to sing?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

How about we do... something fun?

Um, Tita Fi's favorite?

Yeah? We could do a duet.

No. It's no fun without Tita Fi.

Come here. I know you miss her.

I miss her, too. But
she will be home soon.

And remember... there's always
a place you can find her.

Yeah. Okay?

Mwah!

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

Right. If you don't want to
sing, how about a bedtime story?

- Two stories?
- Deal.

You read one to me,
and I read one to you.

Alright?

So, uh, you go pick one,
and I will be right back.



[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Chris, can I come in?

- [MUSIC PLAYING ON HEADPHONES]
- Chris?

I need you to watch Luca for me tonight.

I'll put him to bed.
You just need to be home.

It's about your mom.

You know, every lawyer JD
talked to said it was impossible

- to get her back anytime soon.
- I know.

So what exactly are you gonna do?

It's best if I don't tell you.

[SCOFFS] You do realize

that's exactly how you got my
mom deported in the first place.



[EXHALES HEAVILY]

[RAPPING IN TAGALOG]



JAZ: It won't stop frizzing!

Have you asked your dad to help?

How do you think it got like this?

Um, okay, w-what about that, uh,

no-frizz stuff that we got you, huh?

It's not here. I left at home.

At our place.

Okay, well, I'll... I'll text
a picture of it to your dad,

and he'll get it to you, yeah?

I just... I hate that you're
missing my junior prom.

I know. Me too.

Um, I... I'm so sorry, anak.

Auntie T's calling. Um, I gotta go.

You look... amazing.

I love you. Alright?

She better get you home soon.

THONY: Everything's set. I'm
going to, um, meet Arman soon.


The plane should be in
Manila in about 16 hours.

Well, if it's anyone who could
figure this out, it's you.

I had to. You're there because of me.

No. We made the decision
about Luca together.

It's the other stuff. [SIGHS]

The things that everyone
told you not to do.

I know. I need to work on that.

I guess we both do. Wait.

So you sure this is safe?

Yes, it is. The pilot won't
let you on board if it's not.

And I'm going to talk to him myself.

Okay, but... but nothing crazy, right?

I mean, last thing we need is
for you getting deported, too.

Nothing crazy. I promise.

Alright.

Let's do this.

- Sige na.
- Alright.

See you soon.

[DOOR CLOSES]



This is... perfect.

It's an architectural
masterpiece built for luxury.

Clean design. No wasted space.

Even the kids' rooms have
wet rooms with heated floors.

Oh. No, no. No. [LAUGHS]
It'll just be me.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

And I'll be putting
in an offer. In cash.

Yes? What is it, Orlando?

ORLANDO: Did you authorize
Arman's flight tonight?


N-No, no, no. I-I did not okay that.

Well, plane's on the tarmac.

Is Arman there now?

Yeah, he is.

What?

Just... Just a second.

ARMAN: This wasn't our deal.

MAN: I know... I know it
wasn't part of the agreement.

Well, you can't change it.

There's no way we're
gonna do it unless we...

No. You listen to me. You
need to stick to our agreement.

You must be kidding me. dr*gs? Arman?!

What's happening here?!

- [TIRES SCREECH]
- [INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

[g*nf*re]

Get to cover!



Arman!

Stay down.



- [INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
- Move!

[TIRES SCREECH]

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

Nadia.

Thony? Where's Arman?

He's on the other side. Pull up.

There, there, there, there!

Armando!

[SIREN WAILS]



Oh, my God. Go, go, go, go, go!

[TIRES SCREECH]



THONY: No. Armando, no.

What the hell just happened?

I-I-I could...

What the hell just happened?!

- I couldn't see.
- Did they get him, Thony?!

- Is he gone?!
- I-I don't know!

¿Porque me hiciste dejarlo?

How could we leave him?!

We had to.

We had no choice.

He was going to k*ll us.

What if they have him now, Thony?

It means he's okay.

He's... He's alive.

Who the hell were those people?

I don't have answers,
okay?! I don't know!

How can you not know when
you were using my plane

to do deals behind my back?!

I was just trying to
get Fiona back home.

So none of this would have
happened if it weren't for you.

Please. Just get out of my car, Thony.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Get out of my car!

iVamos, Andate!

[LAUGHTER]

Look how happy your Tatay
is now that you're home.

He will miss you. He just won't say it.

Ah, I've missed both of you, but
I need to get back to my kids.

Oh, Jaz's Tatay, he's a good man, huh?

JD, he is, but Chris is all alone,

and I need to get back to both of them.

Because you're a good mom.

Hoy. Well, sometimes,
I wonder about that, you know?

[CHEERING AND INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[LAUGHTER]

Ooh. I think this
guy's checking you out.

What?



You're hopeless. You know that?

[LAUGHTER]



Psst. Hey. Let me take that sh*t.

What?!

Let me take that sh*t. [LAUGHS]

Look, if I make it, you
split half the win, hmm?

There's 6,000 pesos on the game.

It's his call, not yours.

THONY: Fi, let's just go.

Sira ulo. You'll never get that in.

Or I do it behind my
back for the whole pot.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

- Behind your back?
- Mm-hmm.

- Ano, takot ka?
- Okay.

Mm-hmm.

But if you miss, you pay 3,000.

Okay.

[LAUGHING]

You don't have that kind of cash.

I know.

PAOLO: Whoo-hoo-hoo! Let's go!

Let's go! Wow!

Wow. Did you see that sh*t?

Like Efren Reyes,
"The Magician" himself!

Come on. Pre. No one wants trouble.

Is this how you want

- [LAUGHS] Oh, my God.

- Paolo, you're still here.
- Here?

Oh, oh, I never made any
big moves to the U.S.,

not like "The Magician."

I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye.

I just decided to go.

I was afraid that you'd
convince me to stay, so...

Hoy. I get it.

You took your big winnings
and you got out of here,

and here I am doing the
same thing I was then.

I didn't mean it like that.

- Eh, walang anuman.

Come... I'll fix you a bowl.

Actually, um, I-I have

But, uh, it's so good to see you.

I'm sure I'll see you around. [LAUGHS]

ARMAN: It's Arman. You know what to do.

[BEEP]



[SIGHS]



Ms. Morales? We have a problem.



MAN: FBI! Everybody out!

Let's go! Come on! Now! Come on!

Okay. You too. Let's go.

MAN: Hey. Let's go. Let's go.

Hello, Nadia. I'm
A.S.A.C. Katherine Russo.

MAN: Come on, guys. Let's go.

I don't care who the hell you are.

You people cannot be in here.

Where is Arman?

Your guess is as good as mine.

We know he was at that tarmac tonight,

but when the deal went
south, he was M.I.A.

Well, let me know if you find him.

So you're still protecting
him, even though his interests

lie with another woman?

[SCOFFS]

I'm not interested in making any deals,

if that's what you're asking.

Don't go down for a
man who's betrayed you

more times than you can count.

You deserve better than that.



[CHUCKLES] Mon dios.



[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]



[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE]



[LOCK CLICKS]

Arman?



Are you here?



[SIGHS]

FIONA: What happened?

I lost Arman.

He's gone.

What do you mean, "gone"?

W-What about my plane?

There were dr*gs on it, Fi.

Someone came to take it. The cops came.

And we lost everything...
the plane, Arman.

Why were there even dr*gs on the plane?

They weren't supposed to be there, okay?

I'm sorry, Fi.



I left him.

I mean, you had to. I
mean, you know that.


If you got caught, you w...
you would've lost Luca!




What if I lost Arman?

Maybe he... he got away, alright?



He would have called by now.

He knows how important
this is for both of us.




I'm gonna bring you home, Fi. I promise.

I just need more time.

Just... [SIGHS]

Just do what you can to find Arman.

And I'm here, okay, if you need.

I'm here, too.



[DOOR OPENS]

I just came to check on you.

Because I-I've been calling all night.

[SIZZLING]

I didn't know you cook.

I don't.

I guess you haven't heard from him?

I've called more than


The cops don't have him.
The Feds don't have him.

I don't know where else
to check but the morgues.

There has to be somewhere else he'd go.

Have you ever talked about

what you'd do if everything went wrong?

I've already checked
everywhere, Thony, okay?!

If he's still alive, someone has him.

- Well, we don't know that.
- That is the only reason

he wouldn't have
reached out to me or you.

- Maybe, maybe not.
- I can... I can feel it in my bones, Thony.

So, who knew you smuggled
dr*gs from Manila?

Who could have screwed
him over like this?

Could have been anybody.
Kamdar's men, for retribution.

Buyers stealing the dr*gs.

Could have been Sin Cara
because we used their routes.

If it was, he'd be dead already.

Maybe he got away. Maybe
he hasn't reached out to us

because he wants to protect us.

And he'd be somewhere with
no connection to either of us.

His parents.

Maybe?

I've... I've never even met them before.

I-I asked Arman so many
times to call them, but...

They haven't talked in years.

That's exactly the kind
of place he'd be hiding.

I'll make us the eggs.
You go get changed.

And we'll go together.



Okay?



[DOG BARKING]

[KNOCKING]

Hola.

¿Quienes son?

I'm Nadia.

Soy la mujer de Armando.

No. No eres bienvenida aquí.

- No, no.
- Por favor. Necesitamos su ayuda.


We are looking for Arman.

We were wondering if he'd come here.

Armando? Why? Is something
wrong? W-Why have you come?

Teresa, si nos deje
pasar podemos explicar.


- No, Teresita.
- Of course!

- Oy.
- Please.

- Gracias.
- Sí.


Please, tell us... what
happened to our son?

I-Is he in trouble? What can we do?

We don't know. We... We
were hoping he came here.

We haven't seen Armando in 23 years.

Pero todos los dias todavia rezo por el.

I-I'm really sorry. I can't
imagine how that feels.

Sorry. We cannot help you.

- So, please...
- NADIA: Actually, maybe you can.

We think Armando may have been taken.

We're trying to find out by who.

We know nothing about that.

¿Lo que su familia sabe?

No. No. It is time for you
to go, so, vámos.

Armando once told me your
family has ties to smugglers.

And maybe they can help us

- find him with their connections.
- Sálganse.

- ¿No cree que es posible?
- No.

Por favor. Eduardo, we have no time.

They are dead to us,
eh? They are dead to us.

Just like Armando.

- Eduardo!
- Well, he's still your son.

- And he might be hurt. And...
- He made his choice.

Bringing us nothing but shame.

I think you don't know your son.

Please. Tell us about our boy.

I owe him everything.

He saved my son when he was sick.

He never gave up on him.

So you might not understand his
choices, but he's a good man.

He helped you, huh?
How? With blood money.

- Eduardo, para.
- Blood begets blood, Teresa.

NADIA: Eduardo, I am begging you.

If you don't help us, we don't
know what will happen to him.

And he's your son. He needs you.

He needs me? Armando abandoned us.

He turned his back on the entire family.

The moment he ran to Hayak is the moment

he was running to his own grave.

So now it is time for you to go.

- So you're not gonna help us?
- iSálganse! iSálganse de aquí!


TERESA: I'm sorry.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Sorry.

iY nunca vuelvan!



NADIA: I should have known better.

This is the last place Arman would come.

Nadia!

Please. Forgive Eduardo.

Oh, no, no, no, no. We
didn't mean to upset you.

Arman spent his whole life
running towards trouble.

If you look for it, it will find you.

Be careful where you ask questions.

It's not safe.

But if you must... take this.

It was a gift to Eduardo
from that side of the family.

EDUARDO: Teresa!

What is this?

[DOOR OPENS]

Looks like Cartel.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Don't worry, anak.

You'll be back in Vegas
when the time is right.

FIONA: Salamat, Tatay.

If you don't know
when you're going back,

it wouldn't hurt you if
you saw your old friends.

Wala ka bang kaibigan dito?

I'm not staying, okay?

Thony's gonna find a
way to bring me home.

- [GLASS SHATTERS]
- [ALMA SCREAMS]

- Ah...
- Raid!

- Walang tatakbo!
- Thony De La Rosa!

- Where is she?!
- Walang gagalaw!


- MAN: Thony De La Rosa!
- [INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

MAN: Don't lie to us!

[ALMA SCREAMS]

Anong pinagsasabi mo?

- Thony De La Rosa! Drug dealer!
- What?!

JACINTO: No. Hindi siya si Thony!

- What do you want, huh?
- Fiona!



Nasaan si Thony De La Rosa?

- Thony De La Rosa. What?
- Barilin mo na siya!


[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

Thony's not here! Nasa America siya.

Walang pera dito!
There's no money to make here!

[SPEAKING TAGALOG]

Ano ang ginagawa niya?!
Patagiling mo siya!


She's praying for your soul.

Cause what you're doing here is wrong!

[SPEAKING TAGALOG]

Lumayas kayo dito!

- Tinatago mo siya!
- You turn her in.

Or we'll be back for you.

Lumayas kayo dito!

Manga hyop. Get out!

Get out!

I can't believe his family
was connected to a cartel.

Because you think he
told you everything.

Arman was only 14 when Eduardo
cut ties with his family.

I don't even know how
much he knew about them.



So, how are we supposed to find him?

Well, we can't just go
around asking for this cartel.

We ask the wrong people,
we get ourselves k*lled.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Just take it.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]



[DOOR CLOSES]

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Hey, Fi. Everything okay?

FIONA: No, everything's not okay.

There's a reward on
your head, Thony.
What?

For the medicine you
smuggled out of the country.


Three guys came to the house tonight.

Tay got hurt. Then
they started calling me


a drug dealer because
they thought I was you.


You need to get somewhere safe.

Is Tay okay?

If you can't get to a hospital,
I can send you a doctor.

No. It's your doctor
friends who turned you in.


I mean, the police are after you,

and people will k*ll for that reward.

And if they can't find you,
they're gonna come after me.


Oh, Fi, I'm so sorry. You
had nothing to do with this.

It doesn't matter, Thony.

If anyone says I work with you,

they'll put a price on my head, too.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. No.

Um, I'm... I'm... I'm gonna find a way.

Look, we need to talk to someone,

someone who can call them off.

I don't know.

I just saw Paolo earlier,
but... but it's been years.

Yeah, h-he's someone people listen to.

Maybe.

Just check in on Chris for me, okay?

Jaz has her dad, but, I
mean, Chris is all alone,

and he's... he's really upset

and he's spinning out.

I know you're dealing
with a lot, but, I mean,


if anything happens to
me, I need you to promise.


No, no, no, no. Don't even go there, Fi.

Look, Thony, we have
to face the reality.

I may never come back.



I'm gonna bring you back,
okay? That's what I promised.



THONY: Chris?

Chris, are you in here?
Are you doing okay?

Really? My mom just had
a g*n pointed to her head.

Hey. I'm gonna bring her home.

Yeah, that's what you keep
saying, and look what happened.

Just... Just stop.

Please, Chris. Can we
just talk for a minute?

No, I'm done talking, okay,
a-and just sitting around

feeling like there's nothing
I can do about anything.

I-I just want to see my mom.

I know... No! I'm...

I'm going to JD's.

I can't be around you anymore.

Chris...

[DOOR SLAMS]



Hey. Everything okay?

No. Something happened to my friend

who was gonna help me bring Fiona home.

Do you guys have any ways
I could bring her back,

some... something safe?

There are ways, but I
don't know if they're safe.

We got stuck in a trailer at the border,

and the refrigeration broke.

I don't know. I was born here.

My cousin got across okay.

I should put you in
touch with his coyote.

I think his name is Angel or something.

Thank you.



Do you really have to go, kuya?

I don't want to.

I'd rather hang out here with you.

But sometimes you got to do things

you don't want... so
things can get better.

Once Tita Fi gets back,
everything will be better.

They... They sure will, buddy.

[ZIPPER SLIDING]

Come here.

[STRAINING] Oh, my God!

Unh! Geez!

Listen. When I'm gone,
take care of Mom, okay?

Okay.

Because as tough as they seem,

mommies... they need
us more than they know.

I'll miss you.



[DOOR CLOSES]



[WHISTLES]



THONY: Um...

I'm looking for Angel.

Ricardo sent me.

Yeah, that's me.

He said you could help my sister
cross the border through Mexico?

You got the cash?

I want to know how you
plan on doing it first.

How much you got?

Maybe a few thousand.

Yeah, that's not gonna cut it.

Well, Ricardo said
you could make a deal?

Well...

That depends on what
she's willing to do for us.

- Not that.
- [CHUCKLES] Relax, lady.

Nobody said anything about ass.

But if she's willing
to transport something,

maybe a few pellets of coke...

I'll find another way, thank you.

Alright.

Do you know this cartel?

[SCOFFS]

What is this? Some kind of thr*at?

No. I-I'm just trying to find them.

I make you a deal, and you're
gonna run to my competition?

I can pay you, okay?

Take this and just take me to them.

What do you think? I'm a cheap date?

I can't just snap my
fingers, make a few calls. No.

I'd be sticking my neck out for you.

[SCOFFS]

Come on, lady. You got
to do better than that.

Okay.

There we go.



Take her out back.

Oh, you mean before

No, it wasn't you, Paolo.

Eh, it kind of felt that way.

I mean, you and I... we had something.

Then, all of a sudden,
you were... [FINGERS SNAP]

No. We... We did have something.

It's not... It's okay.

You don't have to explain yourself.

I had a baby.

"Chris."

Yes.

Um, my family was just

Diyos ko po. Are you okay?

No, I am. No. I am for now.

It's fine.

Um, look.

I know everybody knows
you. People listen to you.

And this is gonna sound crazy,

but can you just tell
people I'm not a drug dealer?

Whew. Okay.

Tell me what happened.

- Okay. Okay. I just...

anyone hurt you guys again.

No, no, no, no. You can't be here.

How did you get these, huh?

- I-I found them in your closet.
- What?!

- Mom, it's okay.
- Yeah.

I did something called
voluntary departure.

No! It's not okay.

I mean, you know what it took
for me to get you to the U.S.

I mean, w-what if we
can't get you back?

- We'll figure it out.
- How?

Thony hasn't even figured
out how to get me back.

Well, that's why I'm here.

'Cause whatever crazy idea
Auntie T comes up with,

I'm going with you.

I...

Mom, I'm not gonna let you do it alone.

I can't.

I just... I can't lose you.



Halika dito.



You need to know you're only
alive because of your silence,

and if you ever speak a word about us,

that will no longer be the case.

Tell us how you met Armando
and why you protect him

even at risk to yourself.

He saved my life.

- And he saved my son.
- Why?

B-Because he wanted to help me.

Hm. How long have you been together?

We're... We're not exactly together.

There's more to it
than you're letting on.

I need to know he's
okay. Do you have him?

We'll ask the questions today.

If you don't, please help me find him.

He could be in danger.

If he means anything to you.

We'll put our best people on it.



How can I trust you
when it was your people

who att*cked us in the desert?

They didn't understand

how important Armando is to me.

You didn't know it was Arman?

He doesn't know that you're Sin Cara.

You're the one his father
cut ties with, right?

We had a... painful
separation with our brother.

I never held that
against my sweet nephew.

But I always hoped

I'd have the chance to help him one day.

So you're gonna find
him. Well, you have this.

Clearly, you're important to my Sobrino.



And I assure you...

he'll be protected.

Thank you, ma'am.

Please. Call me... Ramona.



[EXHALES HEAVILY]



Dale, Arman.

[SOUR TONES PLAY]

WOMAN: We're sorry. The
number you have dialed is...




Arman, que te hicieron?

Volcano.

Huh!

THONY: What are you doing, my love?

Can we make pancakes with
Tita Fi when she comes home?

I think she's gonna love
that, my love, but...

Ooh! Okay. You need a bowl.

Okay? And that... that...
You're doing great,

but we just maybe need to
practice a little bit more.

Let's put this back in
the bowl and let's pra...

[GASPS] You little rascal!

You did not do this.

- [LAUGHS]
- [GASPS]

You're a strawberry pancake!

Come here. Come here.

Aah! You did it again!

- [LAUGHS]
- I'm gonna get you!

[LAUGHING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Who's that, Mommy?

I don't know. I'm gonna see who's there.

You don't move. Stop it.

- Hello. [LAUGHS] Hi.
- Hello.

I'm here for Thony De La Rosa.

Yeah, it's me.

And is this your son, Luca?

Uh, what is this about?

My name is Susan Redman.

I'm your new caseworker from
Child Protective Services.

I wasn't aware we had a caseworker.

Well, after your arrest
at Nevada General,

Luca was put in our care.

Yeah, but all the charges got dropped.

I-I understand, but
he's still in our system.

And according to his file, he
missed a mandated medical exam.

Uh, no one told me about this.

Oh, no, it would have been
in your discharge paperwork

they gave you at the hospital.

I'm afraid Luca's gonna
have to come with me.



I don't want to go, Mommy.
