01x08 - Full On Gangsta

[bunniefuu]

THONY: Previously
on The Cleaning Lady...

Marco?

We've got some responses we put up

looking for liver donors.

I could really use that $ ,

to get through my last year of college.

We're really glad you're
here. You were the only match.

We're gonna unload these
g*ns up at that farm.

What about Hayak?

I'll tell him once things cool down.

I'm making moves, Nadia.

I'm selling Hayak's
g*ns without him knowing.

You and I walk away with $ million.

There was an underground fight.

The man in charge of it
thought I did a good job.

He's offered to pay for the surgery.

So you've already taken his money?

GARRETT: You know I had that hunch

that Arman moved
something before the raid?

If they're watching me,
they're probably Noah too.

Thony, I'm gonna have
to call off this deal.

I can't afford the surgery without it.

Did you talk to your Pinay nurse friends

about where to do the surgery?

One of them mentioned Mexico.

Once we cross the border,
we can never come back.

It's $ , . It's gone.

I'm sorry, okay?

I was only trying to help Luca.

And I was.

I was up over Gs
before I had a bad run.

You're an addict, Marco.

Even if you had won all that money,

I wouldn't want it.

Oh, but you have no problem taking money

from a gangster, do you?

I'm Luca's father.

I'm not gonna have some other man

taking care of my kid, or my wife.

This isn't about Arman.

You sure about that?

Don't put the blame on me, okay?

This is about you and
your gambling issues.

Whatever.

I'm so sick of constantly
being judged by you.

You're not always right, you know?

I was right about one thing.

It was a mistake for
you to come to Vegas.

I think you should go back home.

No, no, no, no, I won't be
separated from my son again.

Do you think you're helping Luca? Hmm?

You stole $ , from your son.

I can't trust you anymore.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

MARCO: That's grand.

I saved it for Luca.

Hey.

Marco's sleeping it off in my room.

THONY: Great.

What he did was wrong,

but at least he kept the money for Luca.

Isn't that progress?

It's not just about the money.

It's about who he's become.

Look, I wanna slap
some sense into him too,

but maybe he just needs
our support right now.

Well, that doesn't help, Fi.

You don't know how bad it
got before we came here.

We almost lost our home
because he gambled away

the money for the mortgage
and didn't tell me.

Our car got repossessed.

Our friends stopped talking to us

because he borrowed money
and never paid them back.

Each time, he begged for another chance,

only to do it again.

So that's it?

You're just gonna give up on him?

All I can think of is Luca right now.

If I don't find a way

to get him a liver
transplant, he'll die.

So Marco, our marriage,

I can't think about it right now.

GARRETT: Hey.

You're letting the A*F
take over the g*n raid, huh?

The F stands for "firearms."
This is sort of their bag.

Yeah, but if they roll there
like a bunch of good ol' boys

on a beer run, my case goes up in smoke.

Hey, look, I need more time, all right?

I need more time to link the g*ns

to Arman and the Barsamians,
or I've got nothing.

Look, these interagency pissing matches

aren't easy to navigate.

- My hands are tied.
- Come on, Katherine.

I've been working this case for months.

I need it to go my way.

Please.

- I'll see what I can do.
- Yes. All right. Great.

Okay, look, all I need is enough time

to get Thony to lure
Arman to the farmhouse,

and then ba-bam, busted.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Do you have a minute?

Yeah.

So there's a hospital in Mexico

that will do Luca's surgery for $ , .

It won't be a problem to get there,

but coming back...

You'd get picked up at the border.

Yeah.

Could you talk to your friend Bosco,

see if he'd be willing
to smuggle us over?

I'm not comfortable with you doing that.

No, traveling with coyotes is not safe.

It's the only option there is.

Will your husband be with you?

No.

[SIGHS] There's something else.

I only have , ,

and , of that is for Dara,

Luca's liver donor.

I said I'd cover Luca's surgery.

Even without your deal going through?

Well, with the Feds watching me,

I can't move forward on anything.

Things are gonna be a
little bit tight for a while,

but I can cover that.

Okay.

The FBI can't watch
you in Mexico, can they?

Hey, you're right. They can't.

Maybe I can still do
the g*n deal down there.

If you could be ready by morning,

I could take us there and back by jet.

The customs guy at the
hangar is in our back pocket.

I don't even know how to thank you.

Consider this my way
of thanking you, right?

This might be the answer
to both our problems.

I think I know how we can
still make it to Curaçao.

- Spare me your empty promises.
- ARMAN: C'mon, Nadia.

Please just... just listen to me.

All right, we could still make
this deal with Noah in Mexico.

The Feds don't have
jurisdiction down there.

- But they've got friends there.
- So do I.

I could fly down there under the radar,

line things up with my old connections,

and funnel the g*ns across the border.

You think Noah will agree to that?

His bunker's in Chile.

It's easier to move the g*ns
from Mexico to South America.

Babe, we can still make millions here.

We can get what we deserve.

What about the cleaning lady?

Are you still gonna give her
$ / million of our money?

Come here.

Everything we make from the sale

will be for our future.

We could disappear.

We could start new lives,

if that's what you still want.

I'll pack a bag for Mexico.

Yeah, but I need you to stay here

and manage the club

so everything appears normal to Hayak.

Okay.

What if he asks where you are?

You tell him my aunt d*ed

and I had to help with the arrangements.

Can you do that for us, babe?

Claro, Armando.

Just be careful.

Yeah.

You too.

He's my son too.

I'm not gonna let you take
him to Mexico without me.

He needs me. I'm his father.

Then act like it.

Put his needs first.

Luca needs a stable,
calm environment to heal.

I can't risk you jeopardizing that.

He's been through enough.

I think we both have.

You just don't wanna
make things uncomfortable

- for your boss.
- Come on.

FIONA: Look who's ready
for his big adventure.

It's Luca.

MARCO: Buddy. Oh, yeah.

Goodbye, kiddo.

Be brave for Daddy, okay?

Remember, anak,

we're always connected right here

You better make it back, all right?

All right, Peanut.

- Get the bag?
- Mm-hmm.

You ready?

- [SPEAKS FILIPINO]
- I'll call you.

Okay.

Hey.

What if that's the last
time I ever hold my son?

Wow.

Talk about a ride.

Okay, Peanut.

No, I want Daddy.

Oh, my love.

We're gonna call Daddy soon.

Okay? I promise.

Hey, little man.

How would you feel about flying

in your very own spaceship, huh?

What do you say?

- LUCA: Yeah!
- THONY: Yeah?

Okay, let's go.

- ARMAN: Come here.
- LUCA: Up.

Oh, let's go.

[PHONE BUZZING]

[ENGINE ROARING]

ARMAN: All right, let's do this.

[SOFT GUITAR MUSIC]

- BELLHOP: Ah, buenos días.
- Buenos días.

Welcome to Prestige Wellness.

Right this way, señor.

This is a hospital?

It's the hotel that
services the hospital.

Well, feels like a vacation to me.

Although a seriously weird vacation.

Hey, don't worry, Peanut.

Come here, come here, come here.

Don't be scared, okay?

It's just a giant Band-aid.

You're all checked in.

I'm just gonna go take
care of some business.

You okay getting settled?

Yeah.

BELLHOP: Right this way, señorita.

- Let me grab that for you.
- Gracias.

THONY: Okay, now we're
gonna go get our room, yeah?

As you'll see, we have
the finest facilities

of any medical tourism
establishment in Mexico.

Oh, that's really nice,

but I'm just here to
get surgery for my son.

Of course.

But we believe in a holistic
approach to healing.

Serenity of the mind
equals harmony in the body.

Don't you think?

Well, it's been a long time

since I've had serenity of the mind.

Then you should partake
in our full-service spa.

And you'll definitely want to check out

our organic juice bar.

Are most of the
procedures here elective?

Not all, but a good
portion of our clients

do come for face-lifts, tummy
tucks, chin augmentation.

We cater to a very
prestigious clientele.

I thought it was mostly
life-saving procedures

for people who can't
afford treatment in the U.S.

I assure you, Mrs. De La Rosa,

underneath all the perks
is a top-notch hospital

with renowned doctors in their fields.

Our priority is patient care.

I promise, your son is in good hands.

This way.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Nadia.

Nadia.

Hayak.

- HAYAK: Beautiful as always.
- [LAUGHS]

Surprised to see you here so late.

Can I get you a drink?

We just got a case of
an exquisite Bordeaux.

No, thank you.

I've been looking for Arman.

I haven't been able
to reach him all day.

He got a call early this morning.

His aunt passed away.

So he went on behalf of his father

to help with the arrangements.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Which aunt?

Eduardo's sister, Ana.

Well, I'm sure they
appreciate him being there.

You should have gone with him.

Well, we thought I should stay here,

make sure things run smoothly.

Thank you.

Please, when you speak with him,

give him my condolences.

And if there is anything
I can do to help,

don't hesitate.

That will mean so much to him.

Thank you, Hayak.

No, thank you.

I'm so sorry.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Just in time to join me for a drink.

- Sounds great.
- Hey, dos.

Luca and Dara are sleeping,
so I thought, why not?

- Would you like to sit down?
- Yes, thank you.

Anything else for the beautiful couple?

No, gracias.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

Sí, claro que sí.

- Should I be worried?
- Oh, yeah.

[LAUGHS]

Cheers.

Cheers.

So are you looking
forward to going back home

after all this is over?

I don't know if the Philippines
is home anymore.

Yeah.

And what about Vegas?

So much has happened
in Vegas I wanna forget.

Well, not everything, I hope.

No, not everything.

[GENTLE ACOUSTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

You hear that?

You have to dance to "Reloj."

- Oh, I have to?
- You have to dance.

No, no, no, no.

I'm not much of a dancer.

[LAUGHS]

What do they say? Two left feet.

It's one of the most beloved
songs in all of Mexico.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

Come on. Trust me. Follow my lead.

It looks like you don't have
two left feet after all, huh?

[LAUGHS]

What does it say?

ARMAN: It says, uh...

"Clock, don't count the hours
because I'm going crazy."

[LAUGHS]

"She'll leave forever when
the morning comes again."

Good night.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

FIONA: What the hell?

Get off my property before
I report you for trespassing.

Look, I know I'm public
enemy number one in your book.

All right, what I did...

What I did with the ICE raid was wrong.

Do you even care that
Gabby's kids have to grow up

without their mother now?

We have a word for people
like you in my country.

Tarantado.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel

about myself these days.

Look, I know... I know
it doesn't fix anything,

but I am sorry.

I am.

I'm just looking for Thony.

She's been ignoring my calls.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Thony's working.

I know she's not working, Fiona.

Just tell me where she is.

I wanna make sure she's okay.

That's it.

If Thony wants to talk to you, she will.

Get out of my house.

- Get out.
- All right.

[SIGHS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDING]

Hey, Jeff, my man, I need a favor.

Yeah, I got an informant in the wind.

I need you to track the
location of their phone.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Yeah, someone's waiting for you.

He's right over there.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND]

Okay. Sure. [INDISTINCT]

- Hello.
- GARRETT: Hi.

I'm Nadia.

I understand you were
inquiring about membership?

I mean, who wouldn't want
to join this club, right?

I know. [CHUCKLES]

Which is why membership is
by invitation or referral.

Only certain kinds of
people are the right fit.

Yeah, I can see that.

- NADIA: So Mr...
- Miller.

- Mr. Miller.
- GARRETT: Yes.

How did you hear about us?

Well... [CHUCKLES]

You have quite the reputation
with the people in my office.

- NADIA: Oops.
- [BOTH CHUCKLING]

What kind of work do you do?

I'm a special agent with the FBI.

- Wow.
- GARRETT: Yeah.

That must be interesting.

Fascinating, actually.

We consider all our
members to be special,

but we don't have any special agents.

Well, the dues here are pretty steep,

and crime pays better
than crime-fighting.

Well, maybe you're in
the wrong line of work, Mr. Miller.

Ah, you're not the first
person to tell me that.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Look, I'm not gonna waste
your time, Ms. Morales,

so I'm just gonna get to the point.

There's a woman who
works here as a cleaner.

Thony de la Rosa.

Do you know her?

[TENSE MUSIC]

Well, we have lots of
cleaners who work here.

Yeah, of course. Of course.

But I'm curious about this cleaning lady

because she's in Mexico right now,

and I'd love to know why.

I have no idea.

Why would I?

Because I think she might
be there with your husband.

I think you're mistaken.

Am I?

Hmm?

What I think...

is that we're not the right
club for you, Mr. Miller.

Maybe check out the YMCA.

[CHUCKLES] That's good.

[LAUGHS]

Thank you.

Sure.

[DOOR CLICKS]

[DOOR CLICKS]

[ENGINE REVS]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Hayak. Can I help you?

I called Arman's father

to tell him how sorry
I am about his sister.

It turns out they just celebrated

her th birthday.

So tell me, Nadia, where is Arman?

Yeah, once Luca's surgery is over,

we'll have a little celebration.

How soon till he can
have some ice cream?

I don't know, but I'll be able to have

a margarita right away.

- [PHONE DINGS]
- [CHUCKLES]

_

Is everything okay?

There's an emergency back home.

I have to go.

Oh, but how will we get
back to the U.S. without you?

I'll come back and take you home.

I just have to take care of
this business in Vegas first.

Hey.

You're almost through this.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

- You wanted to see me?
- Thony, hi.

Yes. Please come in.

We've had to reschedule
your son's surgery.

We'll get him back on the books

as soon as another spot is available.

No.

No, no, no. This is unacceptable.

My son... my son needs
a liver now to survive.

It's just a temporary delay.

We paid for the surgery already.

And you'll get it.

We just had another
transplant that took priority.

Who's a bigger priority

than a critically ill five-year-old boy?

Thony, we take a lot of
factors into consideration.

It's not easy.

Luca was bumped because
someone else paid more money.

Is that it?

[CHUCKLES]

I can't share details
about our clientele.

Oh, don't you mean patients?

So you're really gonna
give some rich person

the surgery first?

Even if it means that my son could die?

Well, I'm terribly sorry.

But don't worry.

We'll get back to you soon.

[EQUIPMENT BEEPING]

Is it time, Mommy?

THONY: Not yet, Peanut.

The hospital changed the
rules, so we have to wait.

I hate the rules.

I hate them too, Peanut.

Close the curtain.

What are you gonna do?

Don't worry. It's not gonna hurt him.

It's just gonna make him sleep.

I'm making my own rules.

[MONITOR FLATLINING]

JULIO: What is it? What's wrong?

He's encephalopathic.

His liver is in complete failure.

If you don't do the transplant
now, he won't make it.

We don't have the surgeons.

They're already at work
with the other team.

- Then I'll do it.
- No

- THONY: I'm a surgeon.
- I'm sorry, we can't do that.

Those are my credentials from Manila.

I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon.

Give me an operating
room and another surgeon,

and I can do the transplant myself.

The hospital would never allow it.

It's unethical to let a surgeon
operate on a family member.

You think giving a surgery

to someone with more money is ethical?

Listen to me now.

If my son dies,

you don't wanna answer to
the man I came here with.

He comes to Mexico to do business

with a certain organization.

And I don't think he'd appreciate

the way you're treating my son.

Nurse, we'll set up an O.R.
and prep for surgery STAT.

NURSE: Yes, sir.

[EQUIPMENT RESUMES BEEPING]

That's full-on gangsta.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[MACHINES BEEPING]

ASSISTANT: He's ready, Doctor.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

You sure you can do this?

Scalpel.

[THONY BREATHING DEEPLY]

[HEART POUNDING]

Good job, Doctor.

[TENDER MUSIC]

Gracias.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SOBBING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Nadia told me everything, Arman.

I'm very disappointed.

How could you lie to me
about your aunt like that?

I felt horrible for you and your family,

only to find out it was
so you could sneak off

and have an affair
with the cleaning lady.

[SCOFFS]

You made a fool of me.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

So is this true, Arman?

Yeah.

You're a coward.

HAYAK: I'm surprised by you, Arman,

leaving a...

magnificent woman like this.

Well, it's not my business.

Trust is everything, Arman.

Nadia.

[DOOR CLICKS]

Nadia...

[BOTH GRUNT]

[CARLOS LAUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHING]

HAYAK: Anything yet?

[CARLOS PANTING]

I know you think you're
being loyal to Arman,

but you should remember,
Arman works for me,

so your loyalty belongs to me.

What is Arman doing in Mexico?

Okay, fine.

Go get Nadia.

Let's see how long she
will last in this chair.

CARLOS: Wait.

Wait.

[TENSE MUSIC]

He went to Mexico to sell g*ns.

My g*ns?

Where are my g*ns now?

Where are my g*ns now?

In a barn

near the Paiute
reservation on Highway .

If you're lying to me...

I'm not a liar.

All the inventory is there.

Thank you for telling me the truth

when Arman did not.

CARLOS: Where is Arman?

Where is Arman?

[g*nsh*t]

You wanted to see me?

The A*F caved.

Since you found out Arman is in Mexico,

they'll give you a little more time.

Sweet!

I knew you had some
magic up your sleeve.

I called in some favors,

but if you can't figure out
a way to get Arman or Hayak

to that barn,

they're gonna move in.

They don't wanna lose the g*ns.

Fine.

I owe you one.

You owe me way more than one, Miller.

- [GARRETT LAUGHS]
- Come on.

True, true, true, true.

Well, it's way past quitting time.

Oh, okay.

Well, if I knew that you
had that in your desk,

I would have come
around here more often.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah.

I tried Sober October once.

I couldn't make it past the third day.

Yeah, well, October's a rough month.

- Don't be so hard on yourself.
- Cheers.

Yeah, it's just part and
parcel of the job, huh?

That and a high divorce rate.

Hey, you had a sh*t,
and then you blew it.

- Come on.
- You had it all.

A wife, kids, respect at the bureau.

The kind of life I had to give up

just to stay in the game.

And you still managed
to screw it all up.

[CHUCKLES]

What are you... What are you doing?

If this is your idea of
cocktail hour conversation,

well, that explains...

That explains a lot of your issues.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Sometimes, you make it
really hard to like you.

Wait.

You like me?

I'm not gonna lie.

It was much more fun

to break rules with you back in the day

than to monitor you now.

Yeah, it was pretty fun. [LAUGHS]

But it was a long time ago.

That it was.

Good night, Katherine.

[DOOR CLICKS]

It was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.

- [EQUIPMENT BEEPING]
- [SIGHS]

But I think he's finally
gonna be okay, Fi.

[SIGHS] I'm... I'm so happy for you.

You've worked so hard for this.

Uh, there's something
else I have to tell you.

That FBI guy was here.

Garrett came to our home?

Yeah, he came looking for you.

I think he knows you're not in Vegas.

Be careful, Thony.

Thank you, Fi.

Bye.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Nadia.

Please, Nadia just...
Please open the door for me.

This whole time, I thought
you were going to Mexico

for us, for our future.

- Look, I was doing that, Nadia...
- Were you even there

for the g*n deal at all,

or were you lying about that too?

I was doing that.

I didn't finish setting
things up out there

because I came back for you.

Don't sound so happy about it.

All this time, I've
kept things sexy and fun,

and you still had to
sneak around with her.

- A cleaning lady of all people.
- Nadia, please...

Do you know how embarrassing
it was to find that out

from that sleazy FBI guy?

- What? From who?
- Don't change the subject.

It was humiliating.

Look, Nadia. Hey, listen to me.

I only let Hayak think
I was having an affair

to keep us from getting k*lled.

It's not true, all right?

Thony went with me to Mexico
'cause her son needed surgery.

- That's it. That's all this is about.
- Right.

I didn't sleep with her, Nadia.

I swear to you.

Even if you didn't,

you've lied about her
over and over again.

Why?

This isn't about helping her kid.

You love the way she looks at you

when you do these things for her.

When you are her hero.

Admit it.

Nadia...

Get out!

Go.

Go, and don't come back.

[SHOUTING IN SPANISH]

[DOOR CLICKS]

[CAR ALARM BEEPS, LOCK CLICKS]

[PHONE BUZZING]

Thony, what is it?

My FBI contact went to Fiona's house

looking for me.

Do you think he knows
anything about Mexico?

Yeah, he knows.

[expl*si*n]

Arman? Arman.

Arman!
