Cleaners (2013) s02e06 Episode Script
The Caterpillar and The Butterfly
WOMAN: Previously on Cleaners.
ISABELLE: He came back to us, you know.
Excuse me? Joshua.
He was never quite the same person once he found out you hadn't come back as well.
MAN: See that map with all the dots spread across it? That's a list of Mother's known safe houses in the region.
You need to move now before she slips through my Through our fingers.
Again.
Yes, sir.
Oh, and Barnes? I may have threatened to disappear your career earlier, but disappearing people is where I really excel.
As soon as Phillips gets here, he'll handle both of you.
Phillips? As in CIA Clarence Phillips? Wait, who's that? The worst shadow of them all.
I want El Mariposa dead.
I want his head and you're going to bring it to me.
Before she died, Mia was able to describe one aspect of the man who took her life.
A tattoo similar to this.
El Mariposa.
The butterfly.
We want you to infiltrate ALL: Whoo! and get any intel that gets you further up the chain.
That's Mia.
The Walkers' kid.
ROXIE: It's fricking El Mariposa.
It has to be.
Yeah, where's the big boy? He unfortunately got called on urgent business.
But he did say to give you this.
For a party tonight.
[MUSIC.]
VERONICA: I'm sorry about what happened to you.
After tonight, he'll never be able to do this to anyone again and you can finally rest in peace.
[WINCES.]
Jesus.
ISABELLE: What are you doing here? You wanna tell me what's happening here? Now, don't be a coward, Isabelle.
You know how much you detest cowards.
It's the device Marcus put inside you.
It's thinning your blood, uh, reducing its ability to clot.
You should see him about it.
He'll be able to fix it.
Oh, yeah? What's he gonna do, give us the antidote? Can he do that? Look, I want El Mariposa dead too.
I looked into his eyes today and I saw everything I hate about the world you forced me into.
It's cruelty, disrespect, lack of honor, and I want him dead for it.
You don't need an insurance policy, Isabelle.
Roxie and I will do it tonight no matter what.
But what if something happens worse than a thorn prick? Then what? Please give us the antidote.
You must.
You left us and lied to us once.
What makes you think I would ever trust you again? I believe tonight you will erase El Mariposa and earn that antidote.
Then you will have your life and have your freedom from us for good.
[MUSIC.]
[SEAGULLS CAWING.]
[BANGING ON DOOR.]
[MUFFLED.]
Church is closed.
Termite infestation.
MAN: It's the exterminator.
Who? It's Phillips, you idiot! Open the door.
The exterminator, I like that.
Oh, you did good.
[MUSIC.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, it's good to see you again, Mother.
[MUSIC.]
Sorry about earlier.
At the gravesite, snapping at you like that.
It's just this place, man.
It gets to me.
I did not want to be the person that was made here.
You're not to me.
How do you do it? Do what? Be so available, so open.
Doesn't that scare you? Not really.
It's easier than being closed off all the time.
That's the way you were raised, I know.
I get it.
I see it.
But you have to know that's not normal, right? I mean, Marcus and Isabelle aren't necessarily the poster couple for the well-adjusted.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah.
Yeah, I dropped my guard once.
Joshua.
Look how that turned out.
I said to myself never again.
And then What? I met you.
We're not so different, you and I.
I mean, we never met our real parents.
I never even really had a real home.
Neither did you.
But, you know, no matter where I've been or what I've done, that doesn't mean I don't wanna find one.
But, you know, having a real home means opening the door and letting people in, and not kicking them out the moment you feel emotionally confronted.
Pass me your knife.
That's the spirit, Veronica.
Hey, do me a favor.
From now on, call me V.
[CHUCKLES.]
All right, ready for the ball, Cinderella? You bet your sweet ass I am.
[GRUNTS.]
Goddamn it.
[MUSIC.]
PHILLIPS: What are you staring at? I know I'm pretty, but now you're starting to make me feel objectified.
BARNES: All right, so there she is.
Where's J.
R.
? I never thought I'd say this, but I just wanna hop on his plane and get the hell off this island.
I'm serious.
Come on, I'm out of here.
I am done.
Uh, that's right.
You're all done.
[MUSIC.]
Goodbye, Agent Barnes.
[EILEEN GRUNTING.]
Oh, my God.
I'm free.
Ahh.
What? [SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
I can't understand you.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
Oh, you want me to leave you here with Captain Creepy and his gun? That sounds dangerous, but if that's what you want.
[MUFFLED.]
Get me out of here.
What? Oh, and I don't have to pay you? Oh, Mother.
You're so generous.
Sayonara,bitch.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
Where did she go? [SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
[MUFFLED.]
Go get her.
Ah, well.
You're the one that I wanted.
And you are the one that I got.
Time for the fun and games.
[MUFFLED.]
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Mm.
Security at that place today was tighter than Oprah's Spanx.
I have a feeling this party's gonna be even tighter.
I know, Helen.
That's why it's time to go to Troy.
[MUSIC.]
[MUSIC.]
You look magnificent.
Where's Matilda? Oh, she's out, uh, sulking somewhere.
because she can't go and play.
What we're doing here, Marcus, is life or death.
Maybe it's time you realized there's nothing playful about it.
Yeah.
Keep the antidote on ice.
I'll take it with a double tequila.
[ENGINE STARTING.]
[MUSIC.]
[MUSIC.]
You ready, Roxi-licious? It's time to de-wing the butterfly.
Whoa, good evening, ladies.
All right.
Right in.
[DETECTOR BEEPING.]
Whoa, honey.
Check you.
You don't mind, ladies? Oh.
Do your worst.
Or your very best.
Are you both sure there's nothing inside those dresses? Only a whole lot of dirty secrets.
Meow.
Yeah.
Go right in.
[BEEPING.]
Oh, it must be all the metal boning in our dresses.
Yeah, the boning.
[BEEPING.]
[MUSIC.]
[CHATTER.]
Mm.
Ooh.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ah, ah, ah, eye on the prize.
Ooh, there he is.
I'd know that beach ball body anywhere.
Okay, Rox, it's time to get ready.
Let's go find a bathroom.
MAN: Hey, hey, hey.
Welcome to my Midwestern princesses! Just wait for a second.
Hello.
Hola.
We're not ready yet.
Oh, hello.
Okay.
Hola.
[CHUCKLING.]
Hi.
Thank you.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
Okay, now we have a party! Hey, girls! Down here.
It's me, Maddy.
I can't believe you bitches left me behind.
You know that pretty girl? Um, uh, she's my cousin.
I hope you don't mind, I invited her.
Uh, no, not at all.
But with you two I already have my hands full.
You know what they say, two's company, three will give this old man a heart attack! ALL: Ha-ha-ha! Oh, no.
Okay, well, let me tell her that she can't come up.
Yeah, I'll come with you.
Hey, hey, I know you like to do everything together, but come back quickly, or yours will no longer be yours.
[ALL CHUCKLING.]
Whoo.
[MUSIC.]
Clear.
Are you out of your mind? I-I'm sorry, I was just trying to What, trying to help? What do you think we are, Charlie's freaking Angels? You turning up like this is anything but helping right now.
I said I'm sorry.
Veronica, we need to move.
All right.
Just lay low and follow our lead.
Okay? What did you bring with you? Weapon-wise.
What do you have? Nothing.
I didn't know how to get anything past security.
Amateur.
[MUSIC.]
Are you girls always this prepared? Does a bear shit in the woods? Is the Pope a Catholic? You need to get out more.
It's called the Trojan Horse approach.
Here.
Okay, we can't go back to the VIP area 'cause there's too many of them and they're too close.
There has to be a way.
I mean, there's three of us now, right? Maybe there is.
[MUSIC.]
[CHATTER.]
You know what to do.
Do it.
I hope you know what you're doing.
[SNAPS FINGERS.]
[MUSIC.]
[CROWD CLAPPING.]
Trust me, I think it's me you wanna be dancing with, Veronica.
Who are you? Is it too presumptuous to say that I was the first person you ever loved? Joshua? Hey! What are you doing here? [GRUNTS, BONES CRACK.]
Isabelle said you came back.
Maybe I wasn't as strong as you and was afraid of what the Walkers could do to me.
But not anymore.
[ROXIE WHISTLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[THUDDING.]
What are you doing here, Veronica? You finally came to your senses and realized you couldn't live without me? I had no idea you'd be here.
Especially working for a drug lord.
What happened to you? [GRUNTS.]
What happened to you? One day you tell me you love me, and the next day you're gone.
Just flew away like a butterfly.
El Mariposa? That's right.
I am the drug lord.
That clown works for me.
[GUNS COCK.]
[CROWD SCREAMS.]
