Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"
I don't know whether you heard,
but after your meeting,
the FBI stormed in.
They killed Cortes.
I have someone else who
will buy the drugs from you,
but this time the deal
will be made on my terms.
I need you and Chris to come in
to the station for questioning.
We have new evidence in the
murder of Marco De La Rosa.
I protected you when you shot Cortes!
Now it's your turn to protect me!
Thony De La Rosa needs to be released.
She's an important
asset in a federal case.
From what you've told me,
it wasn't your fault, Chris.
It was an accident. I'm
not gonna bring you in.
Thony, Arman. Meet Maya Campbell.
Either you two are also rats
or you're people I can trust.
Prove your loyalty.
I'm not gonna shoot this girl.
Because it's the only way you and Thony
will get out of here alive.
THONY: Don't do this! Please!
Is it her? Is it Maya? Is it Maya?!
RUSSO: I'm so sorry, Garrett.
You look like ♪
A perfect fit ♪
For a girl in need ♪
Of a tourniquet ♪
But can you save me? ♪
Come on and save me ♪
If you could save me ♪
From the ranks of the freaks ♪
Who suspect they
could never love anyone ♪
Except the freaks ♪
Fi, wake up.
Fi.
What? What is it?
You and the kids need to go now.
- Huh?
- I packed Luca his bag,
but I need to go through
his medications with you.
- Wait
- Just come.
These are the directions
for Luca's medications.
As soon as you get there,
you put it in the fridge.
What? Where are we
supposed to go, Thony?
Well, I was thinking JD's.
He just moved in, right?
Yeah, but I can't just
show up at his door.
You said you were gonna
tell me what's going on.
So, I mean, what happened last night?
What What are we running from, huh?
I've been helping Garrett
find evidence on a man,
someone very dangerous,
and I just want to make sure
nothing bad happens to you and the kids.
I can't talk about what happened,
but just trust me.
Is Is that why he was in
our living room all night?
Yeah. I asked him to stay
here until I finished a deal.
What But it's not over?
No. Fi.
As soon as I know it's safe,
you and the kids, you come back home.
Wait. Wait!
You're not coming with us? No.
If If we go, we go together, okay?
The FBI can handle this without you.
It's not your job!
I can't. I'm sorry.
I need to finish this with Arman.
Oh. So this is about him?
No, it's about you!
It's about our family.
This man threatened us.
He knows Luca's name.
He knows about you,
the kids, where we live.
It's not safe. You have to go now.
FIONA: Chris.
Chris.
- Wake up, anak. Chris.
- [SLEEPILY] Mom.
- Chris, we
- Mom, it's Saturday.
I know. I know.
We have to go now, so you
have to pack a bag, okay?
- Come on.
- Wait. What?
- Where are we going?
- Just come on.
What's going on?
W-We'll talk about it later, okay?
Come on.
Are the cops back?
N-No, i-it's just
It's just Jaz and Luca.
Garrett said he wasn't
going to say anything,
and he won't, okay?
We're just
We're just going to JD's
for a little while, okay?
Okay. W-Why? W-What's this about?
Auntie T? Is she okay?
No. She's fine. It
It's just a precaution.
- Okay? So
- But this is about her?
Is that why the FBI
agent stayed last night?
Wait. Did something happen?
[SIGHS]
I can't tell you what
happened because
Hey. Because I don't know.
[SIGHS]
Thony's working with Garrett
on an FBI investigation,
and t-that's all
we're supposed to know.
But we've been told it's not safe here,
not until she's finished with this.
What I need from you is to help me
with Jaz and Luca without scaring them.
They can't suspect anything is wrong.
Can you do that for me, anak?
Huh?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah, okay. I got you, Mom.
Okay. Thank you.
I still think you should come with us.
We should all stick together.
I know, Fi. I wish I could.
Trust me.
I couldn't find my phone
charger. Did you take it?
No, but my dad should
have one you can borrow.
Okay.
I don't want to go.
Come on, Luca. Hey.
A staycation at JD's house?
- It'll be bomb.
- Okay.
JAZ: You sure you can't come, Auntie T?
No, she's gotta be here
for when the landlord sends the plumber.
Yeah.
Okay. Everybody, let's go.
- CHRIS: Alright, come on.
- JAZ: Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Okay, so, call me if there's
any sign of rejection,
and if for any reason
you can't reach me,
just give him the prednisone
I-I know, Thony. I got it.
I will take care of him, but
But please be safe.
- Yeah.
- Okay?
Okay.
I'll call you soon. Mahal kita.
Okay. Mahal kita.
THONY: [SPEAKS TAGALOG]
You're gonna be good
for Tita Fi and for JD.
I wish you could come with me, Mommy.
I wish I could come,
too, but you know what?
You're gonna be back home in no time.
I love you.
I love you, Mommy.
Okay.
Have fun, guys!
Fi, thank you.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Garrett.
I, uh I took every precaution.
I followed every protocol.
How did they find her
in that safe house?
Garrett, this isn't your fault.
Is that, um
Maya's effects.
I just spoke to her family.
It's gonna be a few
days before they fly in.
I told you. I'd handle that call.
Please. Garrett. Take some time off.
They took Maya alive.
The chair was broken. There
was blood on the floor.
She put up a fight.
I failed her.
And now she's dead.
So until I figure out how
they found her in a safe house,
I am not taking any time off!
Who else knew about Maya?
Other than you, me, and Jefferson, huh?
Do not go there.
This wasn't any of your fellow agents.
That's the only thing
that makes any sense!
A mole. Nobody followed me.
So someone from the FBI
must have tipped off Kamdar.
That's it. It's time for you to go home.
Yeah, like hell I'm going anywhere!
Look, I know how you're feeling.
We've all been there.
But unless you can keep a cool head,
I'm putting you on leave.
I'm not going anywhere
until we get Kamdar.
Good.
I just spoke to the financial
crimes experts this morning,
and they feel confident
that we can nail Kamdar
on criminal profiteering.
No, Russo. He's a murderer!
Huh? What, are we gonna put
him away for a couple years
for a white-collar crime?
You know it's nearly impossible
to pin murder on guys like Kamdar.
They're never the ones
pulling the trigger.
So we need to focus on
the evidence we can get.
No.
That son of a bitch
is going away for life.
[KNOCKING]
ARMAN: Thony?
Did your family leave?
Yeah.
You should have gone with them.
If Kamdar's watching me, I can't run.
Alright, well, I'm staying
here. You shouldn't be alone.
I just keep replaying it in my mind
what he made you do.
Maybe we could have
done something different.
[MUTTERS] I don't know.
Did Garrett mention anything about Maya
when you last spoke with him?
No.
But I could hear it in his voice.
He knows she's dead.
And now I have to go
lie to him about it.
Let's go. Let's do this.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
[DOORBELL RINGING RAPIDLY]
Give a man a minute to get to the door!
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, baby girl.
[LAUGHS] The whole crew!
- I love it.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Where's Thony?
Uh, someone has to
wait for the landlord.
Ugh. I'm just glad it's
not me. I hate that guy.
Huh.
Sorry about the mess.
Don't worry. It makes
us feel right at home.
[LAUGHTER]
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
[SIGHS]
Anyone follow you?
We would have seen them.
Kamdar got to Maya. She's dead.
They shot her, dumped
her in the Colorado River.
I'm really sorry, Garrett.
So why did you call us here?
- What's the plan?
- The plan has changed.
Now we're gonna take
Kamdar down for murder
Him and whoever pulled the trigger.
Anyone who touched her
or even looked at her.
I'm gonna make sure every
one of those bastards
rots behind bars.
And you guys? You're
gonna help me do that.
No, we can't do that.
What?
Kamdar doesn't know I knew Maya.
If we start asking questions about her,
he'll figure out that
we've been working for you.
- He'll kill us both.
- She's right.
I think it's best we stick
with the original plan.
It's not up to you two, alright?
I'm your handler. I'm the
one who calls the shots.
And you're gonna do what I
tell you to do. You hear me?
And that is help me
find who killed Maya.
When's your next meet-up with Kamdar?
He still owes us that cut
from last night's deal.
Okay. Good. Set up
the meeting for today.
I'm not wearing a wire,
and neither is she.
You want to get back
to your family, Thony?
This is the fastest way.
We'd get caught, Garrett.
Anyone who get into Kamdar's
office is checked for wires.
Any signal, he'll find it.
Alright. Fine. Then we'll
put this on your phone.
Cellphones already give off signals.
He takes our cellphones, too.
A-Anything you got, he
already thought about.
Does that office have any windows?
- No.
- No, no.
But he does have a two-way mirror
that he uses to keep an
eye on the gambling floor.
This is a laser mic.
We just got them in.
The sound quality
doesn't compare to wires,
but it does have one advantage
It can listen through glass.
So we won't have to wear
anything into the room?
No, as long as we can
get someone close enough,
we'll get full audio surveillance.
Alright. We'll set up
the meeting with Kamdar.
Alright.
Please. Come in.
You okay?
Yeah. I just don't know
how I can keep doing this.
I mean, Garrett's helped
me, my family, Chris.
I can't just keep lying to him.
You have to.
Right now he doesn't
know we were involved.
Well, he's not gonna stop until
he finds out who killed Maya.
He's not going to. Alright?
We're going to get Kamdar today.
All we have to do is
get him to start talking
about this drug deal
with the FBI listening in,
then that'll be it.
Then you can get back to your family
And forget about all this.
We have to be done with this guy.
Yeah.
[HORN HONKS]
Thony and Arman should
be here any minute.
This damn laser mic better work.
RUSSO: Relax, Miller. It will.
Hey, Denise?
Can you make sure that mic
is perpendicular to the glass?
It is.
RUSSO: Denise, do you have a visual
on Thony and Arman yet?
Affirmative. They're headed
back to Kamdar's office now.
THONY: What do we do
if Kamdar says something
about what happened in the desert?
We're not gonna talk
about anything but money.
He still owes us our cut. We
keep the conversation focused.
Get in and get out.
[WAND BEEPING]
JOSEPH: Phones.
[BEEP]
Where's Kamdar?
He's out of town.
Right. Well, let's just
come back when he returns.
That won't be necessary.
He left me in charge, so
whatever you came to discuss
with him, you can discuss with me.
Nadia, you know I'm not gonna do that.
You have no business working for Kamdar.
You're doing this just to spite me.
NADIA: Okay.
Is that what you want me
to report back to Robert?
Nadia Morales is involved with Kamdar?
Did Thony say anything about that?
No, she didn't, but the
way that Arman sounds,
he didn't know either.
THONY: We're just here to get the money
from the deal last night.
NADIA: You mean our deal? The
one I should've been a part of?
Have you forgotten?
Selling your meds on
the street was my idea.
Enough, Nadia! I said I'm
not doing this with you.
Right, because you're
trying to cut me out
of a business we started together.
Come on, Thony. Let's go.
Well, we did this deal for Kamdar,
but if you're in charge,
just give us our money.
ARMAN: Thony, let's go!
Thony, now!
Armando!
What the hell just happened?
Arman just screwed us
to protect his wife.
[HEADSET THUDS]
[SIGHS]
- Look, Tita Fi!
- FIONA: [GASPS]
Don't set up the tents
yet. We're still playing.
Chill, alright? I'm just
bringing them for tonight.
Oh. Um [CHUCKLES]
Here.
Ah! Teamwork.
Uh, thanks again, JD,
for letting us stay.
In between the cops coming
and the plumbing blowing,
it's been pretty crazy, s
Glad I was able to help.
But you know you could
have called me earlier.
Sounds like Jaz was a
little freaked out by it all.
Yeah, I I didn't
want to impose, you know,
with your girlfriend being here and all.
W-We'll definitely be out of your hair
as soon as the plumbing is fixed, so
No worries.
Laura won't be back
until next week, so
Oh. Yeah. Um
Yeah, we'll be gone by then, for sure.
Okay. I'm not kicking you out.
It's just
Of course. I mean, I-I totally get it.
Oh. Uh, no, no. Give
me Give me those.
- But No!
- Nope.
My house, my
My house, my dishes.
Okay. [LAUGHS]
Okay. [LAUGHS]
Really?
[LAUGHS]
You want to tell me what
the hell happened in there?!
We had her, man, until
you screwed it up!
The deal was to bring
down Kamdar, not Nadia.
Look, I don't care who we have
to go through to get to Kamdar.
He killed Maya, and I'm taking him down.
I'm not gonna bait my wife
to incriminate herself.
THONY: Arman, the longer
Kamdar is free, the more time
he has to figure out that we've
been working with the Feds.
If that happens, we're all dead.
- I want to protect my family.
- And I need to protect mine.
She's my wife, and you don't get
to use her to get what you want!
Okay.
Let's do this another
way. Without recordings.
How?
There's a ledger on Kamdar's desk.
What if we get ahold of it?
It's a record of who owes
what, how many points they have,
and so forth, but it's all coded.
Well, you collect it for him.
You know who owes him
money and how much.
- You can help figure this out.
- Yeah, yeah.
We crack that code,
follow the breadcrumbs
to every criminal and
syndicate he backs.
Then we can take 'em all down.
No, that ledger never leaves the office.
Then get Nadia's keycard to the office.
I'll do the rest.
Alright. Yeah. Do that.
I can't. We're not
living together right now.
She kicked me out of the house.
Then maybe you should reconcile.
It's the only way we
can protect our families.
Alright.
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
What do you want?!
Come on, Nadia. Just
open the door, please.
We need to talk.
You want to talk? Talk.
Stop working for Kamdar.
I need you to stay away from him.
Why would you care what I do?
You've got your precious
Thony to worry about, right?
So go.
Go take care of her and her
kid and leave me the hell alone.
Look, I understand you
went to Kamdar for money
'cause you had no choice.
It's the reason I'm free, alright?
But now I've negotiated
a way out for us
There's no "us" anymore.
You made your choice,
Arman. And it wasn't me.
Oh. Don't.
Remember what you told
me when we first met?
You said you left him
'cause you were scared,
that he was dangerous.
Yeah, that was a long time ago.
I was I was younger then.
Well, he hasn't changed. In
any case, he's gotten worse.
Nadia, Robert's a brutal
killer. I've seen it.
Mnh.
It's not safe for you to work for him.
I'm not one of his employees, Arman.
I taught him about sports betting,
I encouraged him to open the casino,
and now I'm running it for him.
He trusts me because he believes in me.
He's using you because
he wants to own you.
Okay. I can control Robert.
Even if you could control him,
why would you want to be
with a narcissistic sociopath?
And why should you care?!
We're done. You should go now.
Nadia.
I'm worried about you.
Do you love her?
Just
Answer me that, Arman.
Do you love her?
No.
I don't know.
But what I do know
is I love you.
Okay, what do we do?
I might get this, 'cause if it's
Maybe just
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
Careful!
Breathe the air that I wanna breathe ♪
Feels like my life is a dream ♪
- Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
- Aah!
Where I don't need
you to believe in me ♪
I feel brand-new ♪
Okay. Thank you.
They go into these little tunnels here
on the outside of the tent. Got it?
Don't Don't swing
that around, little man.
You'll poke an eye out. It's okay.
As you can see, we
are not camping people.
Oh, not camping people yet.
[LAUGHS] Whoa.
- See?
- Wow.
We did it!
High fives all around.
High five. High five.
Alright.
'Cause, oh, I feel brand-new ♪
And I love the view ♪
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
I bet that's your mommy, Luca.
Thony. Hi!
Hey, Fi. How are you?
Well, it's pure chaos here.
As you can see, it's
Luca's camping for
the first time tonight.
Ohh. [CHUCKLES] Oh, my.
Hey. How's everything?
Is there anything I should know?
Uh, no.
I mean, it's it's quiet.
It's just very quiet.
But w-what about the other stuff?
I mean, are you making any progress?
Yeah. We've been working on it.
I made the right call, Fi.
Um, hey.
Hi! Hi, Mommy.
Hey, my love. How are you?
Are you having a good time?
We're all gonna sleep in
a tent in the living room.
I know. Sounds like fun!
When are you coming, Mommy?
Um, I need to stay here a little longer,
but I'm gonna get us together
as soon as I can, I promise.
Miss you, Mommy.
I miss you, too, my love.
CHRIS: Hey, hey, Luca!
Come check this out!
Look at this!
Mahal kita, Mommy.
Mak srolanh kon. Bye.
[LINE DISCONNECTS]
[FENCE RATTLES]
[DOG BARKING]
[POUNDING]
ARMAN: Hey, Thony?
[SIGHS]
I got
Just wanted to stop by to give you this.
- Look, Thony
- It's fine.
Um
I'm gonna call Garrett
and tell him I'm ready.
Okay. Alright.
Alright.
Hey, Thony, uh
Just be careful out there.
I don't know how much
time I can buy you.
Alright.
[SIGHS]
[GROANS]
I know how much you love it.
[CHUCKLES]
It's been too long.
Mm-hmm.
Way too long.
[SIREN WAILS]
Okay. I got eyes on him.
[ENGINE SPUTTERING]
[ENGINE SPUTTERING]
It worked. I jammed his ignition.
Good work, Denise.
- Thank you, Chan.
- Team effort.
Should buy us a 10, 15-minute window.
Let us know if his position changes.
THONY: Garrett, I'm almost at the back.
You got maybe 10
minutes. Get in, get out.
Kamdar's man is on the move.
He got a buddy to pick him up.
Your girl better make this snappy,
because if she gets caught
Alright, Thony. Time to hustle.
Find us that ledger and get out fast.
I'm just about in.
[BEEP]
[BEEP]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
Thony.
I got it. I found the ledger.
No, Thony. Get out of there!
Joseph's in the building!
I'm almost done.
That's it. I'm going in.
No, you can't. If Nadia sees you
Arman is keeping her distracted.
What if he's not? Can you trust him?
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
[KNOCKING]
GARRETT: Thony, it's me.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Did you get the photos?
- Yeah.
It's a lot of them. I'll
I'll send them to you.
But, um, do you think
you can get him with this?
Once we figure out
who he's been backing.
We can get him on something
called criminal profiteering.
Just got to connect the dots.
Okay. But when?
I need to know when it's safe
for my family to come back home.
As soon as we get what
we need to arrest him,
I'll let you know.
But we're close, Thony.
And thanks to you, your
family's gonna be okay.
I-I wanted to thank you, Garrett,
for everything you've done
for my family last night,
especially Chris.
He really needed to talk to someone.
I think it was good for
him to, uh, admit the truth.
Fiona said that he's doing much better,
and that's thanks to you.
It was, uh It was an accident.
- He's just a kid.
- Yeah.
He shouldn't have had to go
through something like that.
Neither should you.
What happened to Maya,
that wasn't your fault.
Well, I wish I believed that.
Anyway, um, just call me if
you need anything, alright?
Good work today.
[DOOR OPENS]
[LOCK CLICKS]
Come on, guys. Wait up.
[CHUCKLES] No. Sorry, buddy.
How do you play this?
What, is it something
Something like that?
- Mom! Mom, Mom! Mom!
- JAZ: Hey!
- What are you doing?!
- Go, Luca! Go, Luca, go!
- She's helping Luca.
- I know she is!
Uh, you know, I found out last night
that your son takes his
video games very seriously.
- Yes, he does.
- Mom! Stop!
So I suggest you come help
me with breakfast instead,
especially since I know
you take maple cured
bacon very seriously.
Okay. Now you're talking my language.
CHRIS: Yeah, go, go, go.
I'm about to pass you!
Hey, hey!
[ENGINES REVVING]
I-I thought you needed help. [LAUGHS]
Hm. I do need your help, Fi.
I need you to tell me the truth.
Wait. What do you mean?
There's another reason why
Thony didn't come here with you guys,
and it's got nothing to do
with the plumbing, does it?
You know Thony.
She has reasons for everything.
Chris told me the way he and Thony
got out of the police station
was through an FBI agent?
Did you know that?
I'm sorry, JD.
It's It's been a heavy few weeks.
I didn't want to drag you into it.
I'm sorry for what
you're going through, Fi,
but I thought after our last talk,
we were gonna be honest with each other.
I know I haven't been around much,
but I'm still Jaz's father,
and I deserve to know
what's going on in her life.
Thony got involved in something, and
And now she's helping the
FBI take down a criminal.
Involved how?
She witnessed a crime and
And the only way she
could protect herself
was to work for them.
- The criminals?
- Yes.
But now this FBI guy started
making her work with him.
As As an informant?
And if the criminals find out
she's now working with the Feds,
how's that gonna end up?
I don't know. That's
That's what she's trying to figure out.
Then until she does,
I don't want our daughter
anywhere near Thony.
That's not fair, JD.
She's trying her best.
She's a good mother, and Jaz loves her,
and she's the only person
who's ever been there for me
every time I've needed her.
Yet she still put you and
the kids in so much danger,
you had to leave your house.
You all need to stay right here
until Thony does whatever she
needs to do to make this right.
But if she isn't able to
are you prepared to leave
her to protect your kids?
[MACHINES RINGING]
You looking for these?
Found them on the bar when I got in.
[SIGHS] Joseph. Thank you.
You're just lucky I
found them and not Robert.
Yeah. Yeah. Thank you.
[BEEP]
[CHATTER IN DISTANCE]
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
RUSSO: Your C.I. did solid work, Miller.
All of Kamdar's illegal business
transactions in that ledger.
We'll have Arman help decode some of it,
but the rest should fall into place.
Yeah, not all of it.
Come on, Garrett.
Why don't you leave that for
Maya's family to go through?
Let's grab a beer or something.
Or even dinner? I'm buying.
What the hell?
- Russo, look.
- That's a location tracker.
Cortes was a controlling son of a bitch.
They were tracking Maya the whole time.
That's how Kamdar found Maya.
This wasn't your fault.
Look, Russo. I'm sorry
I've been such an ass.
People look for someone to
blame when they're grieving.
Now you know you're not to blame.
And neither are any of our agents.
So let's take the bastard
down who is to blame.
[ENGINE REVS]
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
How'd it go?
I gave everything to
Garrett. Except one thing.
What's that?
Nadia might be in deeper
with Kamdar than you thought.
What do you mean?
Did you know they were married?
What are you talking about?
That's a marriage certificate
for Robert and Nadia Kamdar.
Arman, I really wanted to
help you protect her, but
Luca needs me. My family needs me.
If there's no way to take him down
without her going down,
too, then I'm sorry.
