02x01 - Sins of the Father

[bunniefuu]

- What'd I tell you?!
- Hey, hey!

I'm just a cleaning lady.
I make cleaning for you.

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

This is not who I am.

I was a surgeon in Manila.

I came to this country to save my son.

When it comes to keeping your son alive,

it's not about doing things
the right way or the wrong way,

but any way you can.

Don't do this.
We need to stay invisible.

What other option do we have?

NADIA: Who is this cleaning lady to you?

My husband Marco, his visa came through.

- He's here.
- What are you doing?

I want to know who this guy is

and what he wants with my wife.

Thony De La Rosa, I just
have a few questions.

Feds are getting close.
You're gonna need a plan.

THONY: I can deal.

You could help them arrest Hayak,

and maybe they'll let you go.

I'm not letting the FBI
take everything from me.

How can $ million fit in that?

Cryptocurrency.

Luca! Baby?

How could you? Luca.

How long's it been since
you've done laundry, Hayak?

It's been awhile.

When Vida and I first got
married, she shrunk everything.

So I had to take over and
teach her how to do it.

[CELLPHONE BEEPING]

It's all set.

My lawyer says the judge
can be easily swayed,

so you should be out by next week.

Every second you are here,

it gives our competitors
a chance to move in.

You don't have to worry.

As soon as I'm out of here,
I'll reach out to our suppliers.

I'll be running things in no time.

I'll make sure Vida and your family

are taken care of,
too, like I always do.

Then we'll focus on getting you out.

You got someone to take
care of the withdrawals?

Well, the feds are watching Nadia,

but the cleaning lady's on it.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[ LINE RINGING]

It's Marco. Leave me a message.

Marco, can you call me back, please,

so we can talk about this?

I just want to know
that Luca is all right.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

FIONA: Look, we've looked
all over the neighborhood.

I tried calling the local
motels, restaurants,

casinos he liked to go to... Nothing.

I left these at a bunch of places.

No one remembers seeing him.

Did you freeze your credit card?

No, because I'm worried
that's all he has to buy food!

I put an alert on it, so if he uses it,

I'll know where they are.

Marco's such a jerk for doing this.

- Chris...
- What? He is!

Okay.

Why don't you guys just
get some sleep, okay?

Please.

Just...

Go.

Hey, it's gonna be okay.

Is it?

Marco's not gonna hurt
Luca. He's just a hothead.

He needs time to cool down,

and... and maybe he'll wake up

and realize he made a mistake.

It wasn't a mistake.
He did this to hurt me, Fi.

Chris is right.

He's a jerk for doing this
to you. I... I'm sorry.

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]

That's the credit card alert.

He just bought tickets
on Philippine Airlines.

Synced & corrected by QueenMaddie
www.addiced.com

What flight are they on?

That doesn't tell me that.
Just that he purchased them.

Try calling the airline.

Even if they give me that information,

I can't just stop Marco at the airport

with security all around.

I-I have to call Garrett.

- Seriously? No.
- Yes, seriously.

He's the only one who can stop him

- from leaving the country.
- Wait.

How can you trust him

after he nearly deported us, huh?

And no matter what he tells
you, cops will be involved.

They could arrest Marco or contact ICE.

It's not safe for him or any of us.

Don't do this.

What do you suggest, Fi?

If Marco boards that plane to Manila,

then I'll have to go, too.

I don't want to do that.

Luca and I, we belong
here with you and the kids.

If we go, that's it.
We can never come back.

I'm calling Garrett
because he's the only one

who can stop Marco.

I'm calling him now.

Alright, you little monkeys have fun

at Grandma and Papa's
house this week, okay?

There you go. Ohh. I love you, kid.

Hey, don't you let Papa Carter
cheat at Old Maid, okay?

He creases that card. Look for it.

I wish you could come, Daddy.

Yeah, I know. Me too, bud.

But I'm gonna call
you every night, okay?

Come here.

I love you.

Alright, go on.

You got a minute?

Since Colleen is
taking her new boyfriend

and the kids to meet her parents,

yeah, I got nothing but time.

[SIGHS]

Did you see who they assigned
to Arman Morales' case?

Judge Tuckerson. He's corrupt as hell.

Couldn't have been an accident.

I've got Public Corruption on it.

If money exchanges hands, we'll nab him.

Well, we can't risk that.

We got to stop the
bribe before it happens.

And they've still got
millions of dollars

out there somewhere.

You still can't find the
money from the g*n deal?

Nope, and we can't keep
Arman behind bars without it.

It's got to be crypto.

Yeah, well, if it is, we got
to find it and shut off the tap.

We can put more tech on that.

It would be easier to locate

if we knew what kind
of storage they used.

Without the wallet, it's like looking

for a needle in a haystack.

What kind of intel do we...

[SIGHS]

♪♪

What's Maya doing on
the suspect board, huh?

You know I can't discuss
someone else's case with you.

Yeah, it should still be my case.

Garrett, we've been over this.

Haven't I proven myself?

I dismantled Hayak's syndicate,

and I pretty much did it by the book.

The Cortez case was
only taken away from me

because of a technicality.

Sleeping with a CI
is not a technicality.

The only reason

that you aren't selling
insurance right now

is because I protected you.

Just tell me what the
hell happened, Russo.

When she was my CI,

she was... she was bartending
to pay off student loans.

When you were taken off
the case, we lost her.

She's dealing for Cortez now.

Then we have to do something about that.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

We're gonna talk about this later.

Hey, Thony.

Marco took Luca, and I need your help.

He bought tickets for Manila.

I-I'm heading to the airport now.

Thony, I'm sorry, but what
exactly do you expect me to do?

Help me, please!

I'm not gonna let him take my son.

[SIGHS]

Okay. Okay, look.

I'm gonna put in some calls to the TSA,

and I'll meet you at the airport.

Thank you.

Sometimes you can't
control these situations.

What if something happens to Marco?

Nothing's gonna happen to Marco!

Stay here, and if he does call,

just... don't tell him what I'm doing.

You want me to lie to my
brother about this, huh?

Just have him call me, okay?

[ENGINE STARTS]

[DOG BARKING]

Thank you.

[BUZZER]

Armando.

[IN SPANISH] It's so good to see you.

Is everything okay?

Better than you would think.

Did Hayak's lawyer contact you?

[IN ENGLISH] Yes.

They don't think they have
enough evidence to hold you.

You should be a free man soon.

And we have the money for my legal fees?

Not yet.

I've left many messages,
but haven't heard back.

Maybe you put the wrong person
in charge of our finances.

- Nadia.
- Sometimes, when people

get what they want,
they leave with no explanation.

That's not what's going on.

Why are you so sure, Armando?

Because I trust her and the
team I put in place for this.

Which is your weakness.

You trust people too much.

That's enough, Nadia.

You barely know her.

For all we know, she could be
headed to the airport right now.

Flight to Los Angeles.

[CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Special Agent Miller.

We're meeting TSA officers at gate C.

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT
OVER P.A. SYSTEM]

Ready for our adventure, Luca?

When's Mommy coming?

Later, Luca.

And tomorrow, we're back
home with Lolo and Lola.

But I want Mommy to come with us.

She... She will, okay?

May I have your attention, please.

Looking for flight .

[CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

GARRETT: Thony! Thony, hold up! Hold up.

Luca?

Mommy!

Luca.

That was him. Did you
hear him? That was him!

- Luca!
- Let's go.

Luca!

Luca?

Make sure they didn't board the plane!

Check the rest of the airport. Go.

Luca?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Oh, my...

Luca?

Luca?

Luca!

This is the final boarding call

for flight to Buffalo.

[SIGHS]

The security footage confirmed it.

Marco and Luca left the airport

just minutes after we got here.

We tracked his cellphone, but
he dumped it on his way out.

He could take him anywhere.

Well, actually, he can't.

We put out an APB.

He won't be able to leave the country

without us knowing about it, so my bet?

We'll find him in the next day or two.

I'm sorry, Thony.

I-I just... I can't imagine
what you're going through.

So did you, uh...

What, did you fight
with your husband, or...

No.

Marco wanted to go back home.

I told him I wasn't
ready, and he took Luca.

Is that the worst thing in the world?

To go home?

Look, Thony, I don't know
anything about your marriage...

- That's right, you don't.
- No, I don't.

But what I do know is
that you are still involved

with Arman somehow.

Arman's in jail.

Which means you could be free of him.

So unless there's something
you're not telling me,

I don't know why you don't
just go home with your family

and make a fresh start.

A fresh start?

There's no fresh start for us back home.

Marco took Luca away from me.

There's no possibility for us.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Okay. Why don't you go get some rest?

I'll call you as soon
as I hear anything.

Come on. I'll walk you out.

Come on.

[CELLPHONE VIBRATING, BEEPS]

Damn it, Thony.

I need to hear from you now!

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

[SIGHS]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Why did Uncle Marco
just take Luca like that?

We didn't even get to say goodbye.

I don't know. Hand me that Kn*fe.

If they catch him, will they arrest him?

No. That... That won't happen.

How could he do this to Luca?

To Aunty T.?

'Cause he's a major tool.

[SIGHS] Marco's a good dad, okay?

He's just... very protective.

You always said he was a spoiled brat.

At home, he was, but at school,
no one ever messed with me

because he always had my back.

But it's true.

At home, your Lola and Lolo

gave Marco whatever he wanted.

Yeah, well, if he gets
whatever he wants this time,

we'll never see Luca again.

Don't say that, Chris.

Why? It's true.

Okay, well, Jaz might,

but you and I can't
go to the Philippines,

and Auntie T. won't
be able to come back.

I'm just saying it like it is, okay?

Yesterday might be the last
time we ever see Luca again.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

A-Anything?

Did you find them yet?

Not yet.

You two, go finish your homework.

Give us a minute.

I asked you not to involve the FBI.

I had to, and you know it.

Well, now they're treating my
brother like he's a criminal.

Do you understand the danger

he could be in now that
the cops are involved?

He made that choice
when he kidnapped Luca.

He's the one putting my son in danger.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Is that Marco?

I don't know.

[BEEP]

Hello?

ARMAN: It's me.

Arman?

So you are answering some calls.

Are you okay?

Nadia says you've been ignoring her.

I need you handling that money.

Well, I've started on it...

You need to keep at it.

It's the only job
you have right now.

I need $ million to
get the hell out of here

before Hayak gets a whiff
of what actually happened.

So when Nadia calls,

pick up the phone.

That's a lot.

It takes a lot to bribe a judge,

so whatever it is you've
got going on right now,

I need you to drop it.

I don't think I can.

What's going on?

[SIGHS]

Nothing.

Thony, what is it?

Um...

It's Marco.

He took Luca.

Where is he now?

I don't know.

He tried to take him back
to the Philippines, but...

But what?

He didn't get on the plane,
but who knows where he is now.

I wish I could do something
to help you right now.

I know you do.

What are you gonna do now?

Um...

I called Garrett.

He stopped him from boarding the plane,

but Marco left the airport.

They put out an alert,

so he can't leave the country now.

Well, it sounds like you
don't need my help anymore.

You've got a visitor.

Call Nadia.

Find out when she needs that money.

I need to get the hell out of here.

[BEEP]

Help yourself.

Why am I here?

You didn't keep your end of the bargain.

Yeah, that's a little hard to do

when you didn't keep up your end.

I delivered Hayak to
you on a silver platter.

Yeah, sure, Hayak's in prison.

But the money from the g*n
deal is still in the wind.

You tell me where that money landed,

maybe we can work something out.

I don't know where it is.

The longer you play games, man,

the longer time you'll serve.

One for the road? Hmm?

A reminder of what it's
like on the outside?

No?

Alright.

Suit yourself.

Mmm.

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT
OVER P.A. SYSTEM]

You were right.

Arman cut a deal with the feds.

He's your rat.

[BILL COUNTER WHIRS, BEEPS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

FIONA: It's me, Thony.

[KNOCKING]

I need to get this to Arman's wife

so she can get him out of jail.

- All of it?
- And much more.

They need $ million to pay off a judge.

So that's it, huh?

After all the work we
did getting this cash out,

we get nothing?

What about starting
our own business, huh?

Having a clinic to help people?

That's not gonna happen anymore, is it?

Fi, that's not what I said.

We just need to get
him out of jail first.

There's still plenty of money
for all of that, I promise.

Are you sure about that?

'Cause from my experience,

people tell you what you want to hear.

The plan was always
to build our business

while cleaning his money.

That hasn't changed.

Why do we even need him at all, Thony?

I mean, we can have our
own business, even as TNTs.

We don't need Arman.

Unless... Unless you're
doing this for another reason.

Excuse me?

[SIGHS] Come on, Thony, be honest.

Why do you think Marco took Luca?

Because he knows something's
going on with the two of you.

Hey, hey. I'm sorry. I
shouldn't have said that.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Hello?

You brought police to
the airport to get me?

Where do you think you're taking him?

Is that what you want?

For our son to see his
father led away in handcuffs?

To have me rot in a Manila prison?

You didn't give me a choice.
You kidnapped Luca.

It's not kidnapping! He's my son, too!

That doesn't give you the right
to take him away from me!

We need to talk in person,

like we're still married to each other.

Okay, yeah.

Where are you? I'm coming right now.

Unh-unh. Not yet.

Not until Luca is asleep tonight.

He's been through enough.

He doesn't need to see us fighting.

Can you at least put him on the phone?

I need to hear his voice.

Not until you and I have settled this.

I'll call after he's gone to bed.

You're not calling
the FBI again, are you?

No!

I'll see him tonight.

Till then, there's nothing I can do.

Hey, I'm... I'm sorry about what I said.

Fi, our marriage is over.

You want me to go back to Manila?

I can't get a divorce there.

It's illegal.

I'm not doing this. I won't!

But when I said I wanted to
open a clinic here, I meant it.

I can still be a doctor
and help people who need it,

and I'm not gonna let Marco
take that away from me, from us.

But this is how we do it.

Anything else is just a dream, Fi.

And the key to all of it is
to get Arman out of prison.

Glad you could join me. [SIGHS]

[CORK POPS]

A -year-old single malt.
How'd you manage that?

The benefit of making
friends wherever I go.

[SIGHS]

Now that I have so many
friends looking out for me,

I know who I can trust...

and who I cannot.

[WHISTLES]

What is this, Hayak?

To new friends.

You'll need them where you are going.

Hey, Hayak!

Hayak!

Hayak!

GUARD: Welcome to Gen-Pop!

Hey.

- Whoo!
- Fresh meat!

- [LAUGHS]
- Hey, cupcake.

[DOOR CREAKS]

Welcome to La Habana.

Yeah, I'm here to see her.

Sir. Sir!

Heard you had a visit with Arman today.

Must have been nice.

A little romantic table for two.

The only thing missing was
candlelight and violins.

What can I do for you, Agent Miller?

You can cooperate with the FBI,

tell me where the money is.

I wouldn't know.

I have nothing to do
with Hayak's g*n business.

And as we both know, that's a lie.

What do you think's
gonna happen to Arman

when Hayak finds out who helped me

put him behind bars, huh?

So if you really want
to protect your husband,

just tell me where that money went

and I will keep Arman safe.

And as a bonus, well, I'll make sure

you're not wearing an orange jump suit

that matches your husband's.

The ownership of this club

may have changed hands
to Isabel Barsamian,

but everything else is exactly the same.

Impeccable service,
exquisite surroundings,

and an exclusive membership.

Mm-hmm.

We review new members twice a year,

and I look forward to your application.

Until then, my security
will escort you out.

Thanks for coming, Mr. Miller.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

[BEEP]

Tell me something good.

So, how much time do we
have with each withdrawal?

Eight minutes.

- That's impossible.
- It's not.

Vegas has a bank or
an ATM on every block.

I have it all mapped out.
We can do this, Fi.

I can't believe you talked me into this.

You want to swap places?

I can show you how
to transfer the crypto

to the bank accounts.

You know I'm not good
with that technical stuff.

We can do this, Fi.

We just need to get Arman out of prison.

We'll get our cut for our business.

Fine.

you're the last person I expected

an invitation from, Hayak.

- [SIGHS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]

So what's the special occasion?

Well, thanks to my daughter,
my lawyers are telling me

that you have a very
strong case against me.

Well, there's always loose
ends to tie up, but...

Would the money from the g*n deal

be one of those loose ends?

Now, why would you help me make
a stronger case against you?

I want reduced sentence.

If your intel pans out,

the judge might be a bit more lenient.

Good.

Get that in writing to my lawyers,

you will have what you need.

Anything?

I'm currently querying the blockchain

to look up the wallet's
transaction history.

Can you speak human, please?

I'm working on it.

There you go.

Why would Barsamian just
hand over his crypto wallet?

- It doesn't make any sense.
- Yeah, it does.

He found out he's facing ,

and the thought of his
number two walking free

was too much for him.

I've got something.

How much is in the wallet?

Uh, it's kind of a moving target.

What do you mean?

Are those all withdrawals?

Yeah. Happening every to minutes.

There's another one.

Wait a minute.

Wait, someone's pulling
money out in real time?

Maybe it's about that.

Barsamian wanted you to stop this

because he found out
someone is stealing from him.

Yeah, he knows it's
someone who works for him.

Can you stop these transactions?

I can contact the exchange and tell them

to freeze the wallet.

If we stop this, that means
Barsamian gets what he wants.

If we don't, we risk that money

being used to bribe the judge.

Freeze it now.

- _
- [BEEP]

Come on.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS, LINE RINGING]

something's wrong with the account.

Maybe she knows what's going on.

- I... I just...
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]

Who is it?

Hello.

Luca's asleep now.

I'm going to give you the
address of where to meet me.

Okay.

But you have to come alone, understand?

You pull a trick like
you did at the airport,

and you'll never see your son again.

Where is he?

Some motel outside of town.

Hey, wait. I'm coming.

No. He wants me to come alone.

No, alone means no
cops. He's my brother.

I know how to talk him
down when he gets like this.

I can handle Marco.

- N...
- I'm coming, too.

I want to be there for Luca.

- How's Luca doing?
- Shh.

- Don't shush me.
- Shhhh!

This must be so upsetting to him.

He's not upset.

- He's excited.
- Excited?

I told him we are going
back home to Lolo and Lola

and that you are going to join us.

- You're crazy.
- Which is true, because I know

you wouldn't stay in
Vegas without your son.

You have no problem leaving me behind,

but you wouldn't do that to Luca.

Marco, your visa didn't come through.

I did this because Luca could have d*ed.

But now he's better.

Wasn't that the whole point?

To go back home when it was done?

Together, as a family.

Well, he's happy now, okay?

He's got Chris and Jaz. They're
like a brother and sister.

Oh, I've heard this all before.

What I haven't heard is the
real reason you want to stay.

Just say it. It's him.

Your gangster.

[INDISTINCT ARGUING IN DISTANCE]

Someone's gonna hear
them and call the cops.

Maybe that's a good thing.

Chris.

Mom, he kidnapped Luca.

Why do you keep defending him?

Look what he's doing to
Auntie T., to our family.

Do you... [SIGHS]

Just stay here.

You see how you twist reality,
justifying your behavior.

It's insane.

Our marriage is over.

I'm sorry, Marco.

We're still a family.

I know.

That's why we have to
work things out for Luca.

I told you to come alone.

Marco, Kuya, please.

No, and I blame you for
getting inside her head,

talking my wife into staying.

I'm not having my son end up like yours,

scraping by with no
chance at citizenship.

- Hey, hey, enough, Marco, okay?
- Oh, look at this.

- Shut up!
- What do you think you're doing, huh?

Hey, hey, hey! Just...

To see if Luca's okay.

He shouldn't be alone hearing this.

- He's asleep!
- Just leave him alone. Marco!

- Get off him.
- Let him go.

I said, he's asleep. Just leave...

Let go!

I said let go!

Marco!

He's dead? Did I k*ll him?

- I-I k*lled him.
- No. No, no.

It was an accident. It was an accident.

Here. Take Chris home.

I'll clean this up.

Wait, what do you mean?

He needs you now. I'll take care of it.

- You take him home.
- But what... what about Marco?

- Just go now.
- Okay, but what are you...

Just go. Let's go. Let's go.

This is your property.
Someone has to make that call.

Alright.

I'll do it.

[DIALING]

Thank you.

Garrett?

Did you find them?

We did. Luca's okay.

He's fine.

But I have some bad news.

She's good. She's good.

I'm sorry, Thony.

You okay?

I just want to see Luca. Where is he?

He's still asleep in the room.

Police wanted you to
identify Marco first.

Need a minute?

- I just want to hold my son.
- Okay. Let me get him.

♪ She was my woman ♪

♪ But it's too late now ♪

That's him.

♪ I let her go ♪

Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

Come here.

♪ I'm going through changes ♪

Where's Daddy?

You okay?

♪ In my life ♪

♪ We shared the years ♪

♪ We shared each day ♪

♪ In love together ♪

♪ We found a way ♪

♪ But soon the world ♪

What happened to Marco was an accident.

♪ Had its evil way ♪

But we don't know if
anyone will believe that,

so no one can ever know the truth.

If I need to, I'm taking the blame
for this, not Chris.

- No, Mom.
- Fi, it's not gonna come to that.

No one will find out.

Chris.

We're gonna protect you, okay?

We're not gonna let anything
happen to our family.
