Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"
NADIA: Get your things and go!
I saw you.
Riding off with her arms
wrapped around her
Nadia, Nadia, Kamdar is a
threat to us and you know it.
There is no more us!
We found some videos.
If Marco had an altercation that night,
it may have been recorded.
Can I speak to Detective Flores?
Go ahead and sign in.
I'll let her know you're here.
It was an accident. You
need to forgive yourself.
What if I can't?
DETECTIVE FLORES: You said there
was somebody here to see me?
Chris De La Rosa?
We can give you Robert Kamdar.
He's a loan shark who funds
criminal organizations in Vegas,
and he's in business with Cortés.
My guy is just outside of Vegas.
I'll be in touch once
I reach those meds.
She stays.
You can go get the product.
When my man confirms receipt,
I'll send this one on her way.
MAYA: I don't know what
kind of game you're playing,
but it's over if Julian
realizes who you really are.
It kind of looks like you
two are already old friends.
We can convince Kamdar to introduce us
to this distributor and sell our drugs.
Just go. I'll say you grabbed the gun.
Maya? What is this?
So you set up a sting,
take them both down.
It's over, Julian. Just let me go.
[GUNSHOT]
He didn't have a gun.
I-I couldn't let him get to you.
[TIRES SCREECH]
THONY: Garrett saved us.
Wait, you're not taking our meds?
These drugs are only authorized
to be used in a deal with Cortés.
So until we figure things out,
they'll be held in FBI possession.
We've got nothing now.
Nothing to show Kamdar.
He's going to think that
we have something to do
with Cortés being killed.
I know, Thony.
I can't do this anymore. I need out.
Look, I know, Thony, but
there is no way out, not yet.
We have to see this through.
We'll do it together.
Remember, we keep things simple.
Yeah, after we lost Cortés,
went to Bosco, got the drugs,
but he didn't reach out
to complete the deal.
And now we need a new buyer.
Thony, Arman.
Do come in.
This involves you both.
This is Nick.
He was Cortés's right hand.
I don't know whether you heard,
but after your meeting,
the FBI stormed in.
They killed Cortés, but
they didn't seize any drugs.
Is that correct?
No, no, we have the drugs.
Whatever happened must've
happened after we left.
Fortunately, you went there
either, were you, Nick?
No. I wasn't.
Well, you know what they say.
There's no smoke without fire.
And when there's a fire,
the rats will scurry off to safety.
You didn't scurry off
the ship, did you, Nick?
Robert, come on.
Our crew's been doing this for years.
It could only have been Maya.
Or these two.
[SCOFFS]
Yes, his new business partners.
That seems most likely.
How do we know you didn't set us up?
You're the one that
hooked us up with Cortés.
Next thing you know, there's a raid.
We did what you asked us to do.
You've known Nadia and I for years.
I've known Nadia for years.
You and I are just
getting to know each other.
But I don't know anything about her.
Well, maybe I do know a few things.
Thony lives with her sister-in-law,
her niece, nephew, and
her little boy, Luca.
All very cozy in a little house
just a few kilometers from here.
Listen, we don't work for the FBI,
and I'm not working with
someone who threatens my family.
We don't have to do business with you.
You've made some very good points.
[SCREAMING]
Robert! Robert, I'm not a rat!
- I-I swear, Robert!
- Nick Nick, keep it down.
Keep it down.
I can't think with that
noise you're making.
I have someone else who
will buy the drugs from you.
But this time, the deal will
be made on my terms.
Prove to me my doubts are unfounded,
or you're as worthless
to me as this man.
No. No, no.
No, Robert. Robert.
Robert, please!
Robert! Robert!
Robert!
[GASPING]
Well, go on, then.
You have a business to
run and a debt to pay.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Let's go home. I I need to
- I need to go home.
- Thony.
He threatened my family, Arman.
Thony, I need you to tell me
exactly what happened
at Cortés's compound.
I told you.
G-Garrett shot Cortés
because he was going to kill us.
What? Us who? Who,
you and Cortés's girl?
Why does Garrett care
so much about this girl?
Thony.
Thony, anything you hold
back endangers us both.
[SNIFFLES]
Look, she was Garrett's informant.
I don't know. They
They had an affair.
He wanted He wanted her out.
By using us?
Thony, why the hell didn't you tell me
this was personal for Garrett?
You realize what this means?
We don't know anything about this Maya.
She could rat us out to Kamdar.
She didn't say anything to Cortés.
She would not.
We need to cover our
bases, get ahead of this.
Let's go. I'll talk to Garrett, okay?
Not without me, you don't.
He got us into this mess.
He can get us out of it.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Think it's this way.
Do you really think I'm safe here?
I mean, if Kamdar thinks I'm
the one who got Julian killed,
he's going to come after me.
It was clearly an FBI raid.
Yeah, that he thinks I set up.
He's going to think
I'm the rat, Garrett.
Don't you get it?
He's not just going to let me go.
Which is why you're here. Alright?
This is a fully protected safe house.
I've got an agent
coming to check on you.
She can stay with you.
This is temporary.
Is it?
I mean, I'm no longer Maya Campbell.
I'm never going to see my
friends or my family again.
Isn't that what the witness
protection program is?
I am no longer me.
- It's
- Yeah.
- I know.
- It's just crazy.
Listen, it won't be forever.
Alright? I promise you.
Just need to make sure that you're safe.
Don't leave.
- Okay.
- If you need anything, you call me.
Alright?
Thank you.
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
How's Maya? She okay?
She's safe, yeah.
I didn't thank you for what you did.
I could have wound up in
a six by nine for that.
Cortés would have killed us.
Everyone knows that.
[MOTORCYCLE APPROACHES]
Listen, I had to tell Arman about Maya.
She used to be your informant.
Damn it, Thony.
I had to.
Arman, Arman, hey, Arman,
stop, stop it, stop, stop!
Arman, stop!
Do you realize the danger
you just put us in?!
Whose idea was it to
storm in and shoot Cortés
- in the middle of a deal?
- You touch me again,
I will break your little pretty face.
Okay, alright, guys,
stop it! Both of you.
Because of that little stunt you pulled,
you just signed our death warrant.
Kamdar killed Nick Chambers.
Now he's on a rampage
trying to smoke out anyone
who might have tipped off the FBI.
And right now it's
just us and your Maya.
Okay.
There's a way out.
We can do another drug deal
with a buyer that Kamdar has lined up.
If we prove our worth,
it might buy us some time.
But we need the drugs
back to do the deal.
No, no.
They're out of my hands now.
No, you did this.
You get them back.
Otherwise, we're as good as dead.
He threatened my family.
I mean, he He called Luca by name.
He knows where I live.
So if you don't get the drugs back now,
we're all dead.
[SIGHS]
LUCA: Come on, Chris, play with me.
Ah, sorry, buddy, algebra
teacher piled it on today, so
Okay.
Jaz, please?
I can't. I got homework, too.
I want homework.
Wait, wait, say that
again so I can videotape it
and show it to you in a few years.
Go. You want homework?
[LAUGHS]
Mommy, can I to school tomorrow?
Uh, not yet, but soon.
CHRIS: Hey, hey, enjoy
it while you can, okay?
But you said once I get better.
I know. I just, uh
I just want you to be safe, my love.
Mwah!
Hey, uh, Jaz, can you get
some homework for Luca, please?
Hey, Luca, I'll give you some homework.
Let's go find your crayons.
- LUCA: Yeah!
- [CHUCKLES]
Thony, what's wrong?
We need to pack overnight bags
for you and the kids just in case.
Just in case what?
What's going on?
I can't go into it right now.
Please don't panic, Fi.
Packing "just in case" bags
sounds exactly like a reason to panic.
[SIGHS] Come on, Thony,
you can't ask me to do this
and not tell me what's going on.
I need to do something tonight.
When I leave, lock the
door and don't answer it
unless you know who it is.
Okay, seriously, you're
freaking me out now.
Keep the outside lights on.
Not the inside.
And keep your phone
with you just in case
I need to call you.
Fine.
But you can't keep me
in the dark forever.
Mommy, I can't find Turtle.
Okay, well, let's go find him together.
Robert, I made my last
rounds on the floor,
and now I'm leaving for the day.
Somewhere nicer you prefer to be?
I'm going to La Habana.
Oh, I see.
We talked about this,
Robert, and I was very clear
that if I worked for you,
I would set my own hours.
Don't get snippy.
You just seem in such a rush to leave.
Is everything alright?
Well, no.
I'm just trying to stop
La Habana from sinking.
I'm throwing a party tonight
to attract new members.
A party and you didn't invite me?
I'm so very hurt.
You shouldn't keep
things from me, Nadia.
We're closer than that.
You can come to the
party if you want, Robert.
I wasn't talking about the party.
I was referring to
yesterday's unfortunate events.
Arman didn't tell you Cortés was killed?
The FBI raid?
None of it?
Hm.
You really don't know.
I haven't seen Arman in a few days.
Trouble in paradise?
My relationship with Arman is
none of your business and
Don't do this, Robert.
I hate when you get paranoid
like this, so just stop it.
Whatever business you have with Arman
has nothing to do with me.
Nadia?
If you want to increase
membership at La Habana,
I could join.
I'll bring a few people in.
That'd be great.
Thank you.
Please bring a date.
Garrett, what are you doing?
Cortés's right-hand man,
Nick Chambers, deceased.
Kamdar had him killed right in front
of Thony and Arman today.
We need to release the drugs
or they're both going
to end up dead, too.
Those meds were only approved
for an exchange with Cortés.
Has Kamdar lined up a new buyer yet?
Yeah, I don't know who,
but he's giving them
a time and a place to meet.
They need to be ready
for when that happens.
I need something more
definitive than that.
We don't have time for that.
Look, Maya's terrified and
Kamdar's coming after her.
And Thony and Arman have
been accused of being rats.
If they don't regain
his trust, it's on us.
And if we want her help
in taking down Kamdar,
we need her alive.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
You didn't think to tell
me you're throwing an event?
You didn't think to tell me
that Cortés was killed at your drug deal
because of an FBI raid?
Did Thony have something to do with it?
Nadia, we weren't there.
It happened after we left.
What did he say?
It's what he didn't say.
He's angry.
And how bad is it?
It's Robert.
Just Just tell me what happened.
I
It's best if you don't know.
It's him.
He wants to see me now.
Be careful.
And cut Thony loose.
She's going to get you killed.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIGHS]
Transaction's on for tonight.
But the buyer's a little skittish.
Wants to make sure
it's in a safe location.
Yeah, we can arrange that.
You don't have to.
I already have.
La Habana?
Why not?
You get to show up to your own party.
The buyer gets to meet you
and Thony on your own turf.
And if the Feds do
decide to pay us a visit,
it's your place, your drugs,
and you'll be holding the baby.
[LINE RINGING]
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
Arman.
Thony, did you get the meds?
I-I told Garrett I'll
call him when it's set up.
Which is now. Get a hold of him.
We're meeting the buyer
at La Habana tonight.
La Habana? You're sure?
It was Kamdar's call. He wants it there.
He doesn't trust us. [SIGHS]
Thony, just get the
meds or we'll be screwed.
Okay, I'll call Garrett now.
[CELLPHONE BEEPS]
Fi?
Here you go.
If you don't hear from
me when La Habana closes,
you should go.
Thony, please tell me what's going on.
I need to know what to
look for, what to expect.
These are my kids to protect, too.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Hi, Chris.
Detective Lana Flores.
You came by the station
to speak with me?
- May we come in?
- FIONA: No.
Chris, don't let them in.
No, don't let them in.
Mom, what's going on?
Um, Jaz, keep Luca back, please.
Detective Flores, what's going on?
I need you and Chris
to come into the station
for questioning.
We have new evidence in the
murder of Marco De La Rosa.
Are we under arrest?
Depends on how this goes.
They They can't do take
us without lawyers, can they?
Right now we're just
talking about questions.
But if you feel like you need one
No, we don't. We haven't
done anything wrong.
Good. Then you and
Chris can come with me.
No!
No, you can't do this, okay?
Chris is a minor. You
can't take him without me.
Mom.
Call Garrett.
We're right behind you.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Nadia.
You remember Yvette?
And Bianca?
Yes, I do.
It's going to be a
great night, I can see.
We could walk down memory lane.
We'll see where the night takes us.
You want a cigar?
Why don't you pick one out for me
and take the girls with you?
Sure. Come on, girls.
It's good to see you.
Where's Thony?
Excuse me.
She'll be here shortly.
I see your buyer's here.
It's a very crowded room.
How did you spot him?
Robert, I've been doing
this for a very long time.
In the Vegas night scene,
there's only a few types.
Educate me.
The tourists.
We do our best to keep them out.
The new money.
Never pass up free booze or food.
And the decadent criminal,
where everything bores them.
That's the category
your buyer falls into.
He's sitting right behind
us with his two men.
And which category do I fall into?
Well, you're a sociopath,
but you already know that.
But you and I have
something in common, Robert.
We know the power of money.
La Habana's not just a
place for gorgeous women
and Cuban cigars.
It's a place where
million-dollar deals are made.
So why don't you just
make the introduction
and we can get this going?
When your better half
gets here with the product,
they'll be ready to meet you both.
[LINE RINGING]
Thony, where the hell are you?
So what is it you wanted to tell me?
Do you know who killed your uncle?
No. He He just wanted answers.
I asked your son.
Uh, no, no. I [SIGHS]
I just, uh
Yeah, I-I-I just wanted answers.
Then why did you leave the
precinct before talking to me?
Because he's scared.
Why? Did someone threaten you?
What? No.
No, it It's because I'm
I'm undocumented and And he
He wanted to protect me.
Who else are you protecting, Chris?
What? Uh
Give us the room.
Okay, good.
I need to meet Arman at La Habana.
You're not going anywhere
until you stop lying to me.
Sit.
If you're withholding information,
it's called obstruction.
And you will be arrested.
He's not withholding anything!
Enough.
You're in here as a courtesy.
Step outside.
No.
N-No, he He's not even 16.
In the state of Nevada,
it's legal to question
a minor without a parent.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Now, tell me. Did you kill Marco?
No.
Did you get Arman to kill Marco?
Garrett, come on, I am not a murderer.
But you were there, the
night that he was killed, huh?
Yeah, after you called me.
Okay.
Well, then how do you explain this, huh?
I know this is hard, Chris,
but maybe you can help me out.
That's your Aunt Thony, isn't it?
That's you. And that's a time stamp.
Which proves that you were there
at the time of Marco's death.
Are you saying this isn't her?
No, no, uh
I-I-I-It's her.
It's
You know, when I confirmed
your husband's death,
I had to gear up to call you.
To find the words to
break the news gently.
But all that time, you
used me, manipulated me.
So that's it? That's
That's your new evidence?
Sure as hell is.
What do you think Chris
is going to say about it?
That's Auntie Thony.
But she didn't She didn't
[SNIFFLES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
I want to speak to a lawyer.
You help Chris cover this up?
No.
I did it.
I killed Marco.
Garrett, you need to get me out of this.
You're in no place to make demands.
You need to tell me the truth.
It was an accident.
Marco called me to go to the motel.
I just tried to reach out to Luca.
And he grabbed me and I pushed him.
You pushed him?
That's it?
Yeah.
We were right at the top of the stairs.
Marco just fell.
He just fell.
You're lying.
Again.
You didn't kill him. But
you know who did, don't you?
Come on, Thony.
Who are you protecting,
huh? What, Arman?
Look at me.
If you didn't do this, you
cannot take the fall for it.
I need you.
Maya needs you.
We need to take down Kamdar.
Then do something about this!
I protected you when you shot Cortés.
Now it's your turn to protect me.
Oh, so that's it?
What, I just tell the
federal powers that be
that my C.I. committed murder
but to get her out anyway?
Hmm?
Is that not what your
little badge is for?
You want to get Kamdar?
You want to protect Maya?
Then you get me out of here.
Because otherwise more
people are going to die
and that's going to be on you!
Auntie T, I-I-I
I didn't say anything.
Good. Good.
Hey, you're free to go, Chris.
Just wait for us outside.
Come on.
[DOOR CLOSES]
What's going on here?
I got a call from the AUSA.
Thony De La Rosa needs to be released.
That's right.
She's an important
asset in a federal case.
So that's it?
You're just going to
let her get away with it?
I didn't kill my husband.
I made a mistake by not
calling when I found him,
but I was just scared.
I I didn't want to
get arrested or deported.
I-I I'm sorry.
I know I should not have lied.
People run when they're scared.
You know that. That's all this was.
So unless you want
to deal with the AUSA,
Thony and her family will be released.
Now.
Come on.
But
Thank you.
- The hell?
- We'll talk later.
[SIGHS]
Mommy!
Oh, my God, Thony, you okay?
[SMOOCHES] Yeah.
I'm alright.
I just have to go do something.
What? Now?
It's okay.
Everything's over, right?
Agent Miller's going to take you home.
Yeah.
[SIGHS] You're going to be okay.
Yeah.
Love you.
Where's she going?
So, an agent's going to meet
you out back with the meds, okay?
Okay. Could you
Could you please stay
with them until it's done?
I got them.
- Thank you.
- Alright.
It's been over an hour.
Where is she?
She had a hold-up.
She'll be here with the product soon.
- Robert
- Nadia, please, not now.
You're right. Not now.
Because this is a party.
And whatever you need Arman to do,
it can wait until tomorrow, right?
Come on, enjoy yourself a little.
Come smoke a cigar
with me and the girls.
Nadia, will you tell the girls
that I'll see them back at the house?
Thony, I never thought you'd
keep me waiting like this.
I apologize, Robert.
I'm not interested in excuses.
- Is the product here?
- Of course.
The truck is downstairs in
the loading loading dock.
Gentlemen, ready to
take the party elsewhere?
All there.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Next time, don't keep us waiting.
Thank you.
[TRUCK DOORS CLOSE, ENGINE STARTS]
[SIGHS]
[GASPS]
You'll get your cut at
the appropriate time.
What the hell are you doing?
Hey!
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
[LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS]
Chris, Jaz, help Luca into bed.
I'll be right in.
[SIGHS]
Are you going to tell me
what the hell's going on?
Where did Thony go?
Don't worry. She's okay.
She's She's just
doing something for me.
She wasn't acting like
everything was okay.
What are you making her do now?
Look, Fiona, you know
I can't talk about this.
She'll be fine.
When is this going to end, huh?
Haven't you put her through enough?
Like, what is wrong with you?
What's going on? Is Auntie T okay?
Chris, get back in your room.
- No, I just need
- Get back to your room now.
Get back to your room!
I just need to know if
she's still in trouble.
- Is she still with the police?
- No, she's going to be okay, Chris.
No, she's not, okay?
They They think she
did it, but she didn't.
- Please! No!
- I
Chris, no.
Okay?
Please.
Please don't.
I did it.
What are you talking about?
I pushed him down the stairs.
I-I-I-I didn't mean it,
but he grabbed me, and
Chris, please stop.
Please.
I didn't I didn't
mean to push so hard.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[CRYING]
I-I was just trying to get to Luca.
That's all.
Garrett, it was an accident.
Please just don't bring him in.
Hmm?
Okay, hey.
Look at me. Let's just take this inside.
Okay? Come on.
Look, I get why you
all tried to hide it.
The law can be tricky,
especially for people
in your circumstances.
But from what you told me,
it wasn't your fault, Chris.
It wasn't?
It was an accident.
You didn't intend any harm.
And since Marco grabbed you first,
one could say it was,
uh, well, self-defense.
I'm not going to bring you in.
Your family's been through enough.
Now it's time you put
all this behind you.
Hey, Robert, what the hell
is this about?
We did everything you asked for.
We delivered for you.
ROBERT: You did. But I
still have some concerns.
Thony, Arman, meet Maya Campbell,
Cortés's girl.
Scooped up from an FBI safe house.
[MUFFLED CRYING]
She's a rat.
Now, either you two are also rats
Or you're people I can trust.
Let's find out, shall we?
[MUFFLED SOBBING]
Go on. Prove your loyalty.
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
I'm not going to do that.
You can kill me if you want,
but I'm not going to shoot this girl.
Well, actually you will
because it's the only way
you and Thony walk out of here alive.
No.
Very well.
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
Your time is up.
What's it going to be?
THONY: Don't do it.
Arman, no.
One.
Don't.
Don't do this.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
Two!
Don't listen to this.
[SOBBING CONTINUES]
So what's it going to be, Arman?
Arman.
No.
MAYA: [SOBBING CONTINUES]
Three!
