The Cleaning Lady (2022) s02e10 Episode Script

1
Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"
RUSSO: Couple of
fishermen just pulled a gun
out of the Colorado River
40 yards from where we found Maya.
GARRETT: Any prints?
He woke up jaundiced this morning.
Is it hard to breathe?
Thony got involved in something,
and now she's helping the
FBI take down a criminal.
I don't want our daughter
anywhere near Thony.
I was a surgeon in Manila.
I still have contacts there.
You want to traffic drugs
out of the Philippines
in the middle of a drug war?
Must be very difficult
to see Luca sick again.
If there is any liver damage,
there's a new drug here.
It's called Hepatic Peptin.
I want to try to find ways
to get affordable medicine
for people who need them.
We can get in a lot
of trouble for these.
This is the name of a man
who's been known to take bribes.
He'll do what you're asking for.
That's a marriage certificate
for Robert and Nadia Kamdar.
I'm gonna kill Kamdar.
When he dies, everything he owns
will belong to you his wife.
And you have the rest
of the meds for Luca?
So the rest are on a cargo
ship bound for Long Beach.
I mean, how are you ever
gonna get out of this?
I don't know.

[GASPS]
So, here's the plan.
When you feel better,
we're gonna do a big party
with Tita Fi and Jaz and Chris,
but today is very special,
because today is just the two of us.
Want to blow and make a wish?
It's okay, Peanut.
It's all right.
We're gonna do it together, okay?
[INHALES DEEPLY, BLOWS]
I love you.
Happy birthday, my love.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE]
Hello? Robert?
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
Nadia? What are you doing?
Oh, Robert.
I've got a headache, and I
didn't see you on the floor.
Can I take one of these?
Those are prescription for my back.
They're way too strong for you.
Come here.
What are you doing?
It's a pressure point called Hegu.
Picked it up on my travels.
Why are you so tense?
I don't know. I guess I'm worried
things won't work out with La Habana.
There's no need to be worried.
I put the cash down.
It clears at the end of the week,
and then it's all yours.
I don't mean buying it.
I mean running it.
I didn't build La Habana on my own.
And even though Arman and
I aren't together anymore
I thought you were done with him.
I am, Robert, but this is
As far as I'm concerned,
Arman is a liability.
In my business, we
eliminate liabilities.
Understood?
No.
You're right.
I'm focusing on the wrong things.
We should be celebrating.
How about dinner tonight?
Then we can toast to our
future at La Habana together.
Yeah.
[DOOR OPENS]
- Morning.
- Oh, hi!
What What are you doing?
Well, I thought I'd be
done before anyone woke up.
I just wanted to do,
you know, a deep cleaning
and and get everything sparkling.
Fiona, stop.
I wanted to say thank you for
letting me and the kids stay.
I know it's a lot.
Hey. Hey.
You don't have to clean.
You don't have to
make anything up to me.
I like it when you're here.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm sure your girlfriend's
not too happy about that.
Laura wasn't happy
about a lot of things
including me moving back here to Vegas.
Uh, I guess we should
get out of your hair, huh?
Uh, well, in case you haven't
noticed, I don't have any, so
Such a bad dad joke. [LAUGHS]
I'm serious. Y-You don't have to go.
Laura and I broke up.
Oh, my God. I'm I'm sorry.
- I hope I didn't
- You did.
But
I'm not sorry.
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
Mnh-mnh. Ignore it.
[CELLPHONE CONTINUES RINGING]
I
- I I think it's Thony.
- Okay. Okay.
I gotta
Uh
Hi, Thony.
Is, uh Is Luca okay?
Uh, yeah, he is right now,
but fluid is building up in his lungs.
I have to do a tap.
Can you come and stay with him?
I think I'm gonna have
to go to the clinic
and find some supplies.
Of course. I I'm on my way.
Thanks, Fi.
- I'm
- I get it. [CHUCKLES]
I'm a parent.
Go.
We're not done with this. Right?
Oh, we are definitely
not done with this.
Okay.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Hello?
Someone here?
Arman?
Hey, Thony, what are you doing here?
Though you were
supposed to be with Luca?
Oh, well, I needed to get an
anesthetic and supplies for him.
He He's with Fiona at home.
What's wrong? Is he okay?
Um no.
Well, fluid is building up in his lungs.
It's hard for him to breathe.
Hey, Thony
And today
he couldn't blow out
his birthday candles.
He's 6.
Hey. Hey.
Hey, you've been here before.
You'll get through this again.
[CRYING] I will, I will.
I'm gonna drain the fluid at home,
and that's gonna buy me time
until I get the new meds from Manila.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
I'll be fine.
Call me if you need anything.
Okay. Wait.
Why are you here?
When my dad was on
medication for his heart,
I remember there were certain
drugs he couldn't take,
and doctors said it could kill him.
Arman, you can't kill Kamdar.
It's time, Thony.
I'm not gonna sit and wait
for Kamdar to come for me.
I'm gonna take him out first.
This way, it won't
blow back on any of us.
No, don't do this.
Are you gonna try and stop me?
After what he's done to you, to Maya?
I need him for the meds.
You don't need him.
You're the one who brokered
the deal for the drugs.
I can find a way to get them there.
They're already on their way.
He's the one paying for the
ship, the bribes at customs
I have my own contacts.
I can get them in from the ports.
How?
With what money, what resources, Arman?
After all I've done for you and Luca,
you're gonna question me now?
Things are different today.
I know you want to help,
but I'm not gonna take
a risk, not with Luca.
I didn't come for your permission.
I will get the drugs,
and I will kill Kamdar.
I'll let you know when it's done.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
[BRAKES SQUEAL, GEAR SHIFT CLICKS]
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
[TAPS ON GLASS]
Stop following me.
If Kamdar gives me a job, I do it.
Well, you tell Kamdar
I don't need a spy outside of my house.
I'm here for your protection.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Who the hell are you?
Kamdar sent me to protect Nadia.
Yeah, sure.
What's he doing here?
Robert thinks we need more security
after what happened with Sin Cara.
That's what he told you?
I told you he's paranoid,
and it's getting worse.
When will you see him?
I'm meeting him for dinner tonight.
Joseph is always with him.
Then I'll find a way to distract Joseph
and anyone else who's around him.
Just make sure to put
enough of these in his drink,
and it'll stop his heart.
What if they catch us?
I'll put a bullet in Kamdar myself.
No, Armando, you'll never
make it out of there alive.
I'm not gonna let
anything bad happen to you,
and it's not gonna come
down to that, all right?
This is going to work.
First, I need to lock down
that cargo from Manila.
Did you get that
shipping-container number?
Yes, I did.
But what if Robert finds
out you're stealing from him?
- He'll be dead by then.
- But why take that risk?
When Robert's gone, I'll
get everything he owns.
Nadia, we need those meds now.
You mean she needs them.
Armando, I'm risking my
own life to save yours.
Nadia, they are for her son,
and this is not up for debate.
Once I get my hands on those meds,
I'll meet you at FastLane.
We'll take care of Kamdar.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
Okay, I'm ready with the bandages.
Tape.
That should relieve the
pressure so he can breathe again.
Most of the pain was
because of that fluid.
Thank you, Fi.
I could not have done it without you.
I just wish I could do more.
It seemed like he was getting better.
Well, hopefully, the new meds
can reverse some of the liver damage.
If not?
Will he need another transplant?
Well, one step at a time.
Right now, I need the drugs from Kamdar,
and Arman is ignoring my calls.
Go.
I'm good with Luca.
Thank you.
We need to arrest him now.
That's jumping the gun, Miller.
We got the weapon that murdered Maya.
We got his fingerprint on it.
A partial print.
You and I both know that
he pulled that trigger.
22 other potential
matches will contradict
that in a court of law.
You mean 22 random suspects
with no reason to murder Maya?
You could say the same
thing about Morales.
No, hey, that's not true.
The second that Arman
found out that Maya
used to be my informant,
she turned up dead.
Because he was afraid that
she was gonna rat him out.
My guess is that he killed Hayak.
He killed Maya.
He has screwed us over a thousand times.
This is our chance to finally nail him.
You go off emotion, you blow the case.
Just like Cortés.
That wasn't justice.
That was sloppy, and that's
not how we do our jobs.
You are so stuck on revenge right now
that you can't see the big picture,
and that is to get Kamdar and
everyone he's connected to.
We've made some headway on the ledger.
We have a pretty good idea
who some of the players are.
If we're right, Kamdar's backing
one of the biggest
human-trafficking rings
on the west coast
Drugs, prostitution.
We take him down, we can dismantle
half a dozen syndicates in Vegas.
So until you accept that
this isn't just about Maya,
you need to back the hell off Arman.
We need him.
And that's not a suggestion,
it's an order.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS, DOORS OPEN]
I need to talk to Arman.
He's not here.
Any reason you can't just call him?
He's not answering.
Well, that's progress.
[SIGHS] What do you want, Thony?
I know what you're
planning on doing to Kamdar.
You have to wait.
Here you are, dictating terms again.
Because my son's life depends on it.
Please.
I wouldn't be here begging
you if I didn't have to.
Haven't we helped your son enough?
Didn't he already get
a transplant in Mexico?
Yes, he did, but
his liver is failing now
because of a complication.
I need Kamdar because I need those meds.
So now Robert's your hero,
and whatever happens to
Arman doesn't matter to you?
- That's not true!
- Isn't it?
We want to help your boy, Thony.
We do, and we have.
But we can't keep putting
our lives on the line for you,
and I'm sorry about your son,
but it's Arman's life that's at risk.
And after everything he's done for you,
you need to think about him.
Robert is gonna kill Arman.
Please, you need to leave.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
Morales.
Was wondering when we'd see
your face around here again.
Heard you had trouble getting
back on your feet without Hayak.
Yeah, I'm shifting gears, man.
I'm hauling some product
on a boat from Manila
as we speak.
What's the cargo?
That's not your concern.
But this is what you can do for me.
I need you to track this container down,
reroute it to me.
Yeah, sure.
But for all my trouble,
this feels a little light.
It's a down payment.
You get me the container,
and I'll pay you twice as
much as what I paid you before.
No problem.
Except I need all the money up front.
That's not how this works.
Does now.
So I'll just hang on to your petty cash
until you come up with the rest.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Don't move, or he's dead.
Looks like you forgot who
you're dealing with, man.
Okay, look, look, look, man,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay?
Get me the cargo, and I'll
get you the rest of the money
and the opportunity to stay involved.
Yeah.
I want in.
[PANTING]
There's your down payment.
And nobody touches the cargo but me!
Do you understand?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Let him go.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[INHALES DEEPLY, EXHALES DEEPLY]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
I'll do a basic wash, please.
Thank you.
[BUZZER]
What's going on?
I have a favor to ask you.
Arman is planning on killing Kamdar,
and I need you to protect him.
You want to protect Kamdar now?
Why?
Because Luca's liver is failing,
and right now, Kamdar is the
only one with the resources
to get this experimental
drug from the Philippines
that could save him.
What kind of game you playing, Thony?
You think you're in control,
making side deals with
criminals, but you're not.
You keep going down this
path you're gonna end up dead
just like Maya, and I won't
be able to protect you.
I'm sorry about Maya.
But you can't get justice for her
if Kamdar is killed, can you?
What really happened to Maya?
I don't know.
What do you want me to do?
This is the number to Arman's burner.
You can track it, right?
Just find him, and keep
him away from Kamdar.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
[CROWD CHEERING, LAUGHING]
Sophie, is the champagne chilled?
Of course, Ms. Morales.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE]
[GUN CLICKS]
GARRETT: Gun.
Drive.
[CAR STARTS]
[CELLPHONE CHIMES]
Nadia.
Oh, Robert, you You shouldn't have.
Go on, open it.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN DISTANCE]
Here, let me.
There, now you have
something to match the ring.
Thank you, Robert. It's gorgeous.
Thank you for giving me the pleasure.
Now, let's go out for dinner.
Actually, I just ordered a bottle
of your favorite Grand Cru.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Joseph, tell the pilot we'll
be delayed for about an hour.
The pilot? Where are we going?
We're going to have dinner on the jet
so we can be in
Buenos Aires for sunrise.
But Robert, I I
haven't packed a thing.
Anything that you need,
we'll buy it in Argentina.
Come on.
The girl that I fell in love with
was always up for adventure.
And I'm still that girl.
Prove it.
[LAUGHING] Okay.
Let's do it.
I think we deserve a toast.
To our new beginning.
Our new beginning.
[GRUNTS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS,
LAUGHTER IN DISTANCE]
Okay, I think I'm ready to leave.
Shall we?
No, not yet.
This champagne is too good to waste.
Robert, enjoy the moment.
I need to work on that, don't I?
Mm-hmm.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Why don't you tell Joseph
to let the pilot know
we need a little more time?
And please tell me
there is caviar onboard.
You are a woman after my own heart.
Here you are.
Thank you, Ms. Morales.
Thank you.
Sorted.
Recognize this place, hmm?
It's a gangster's burial ground.
Countless lowlifes
and nobodies get dumped
over this cliff all the time.
You think anyone would give a crap
if your body was one of them?
What do want, Miller?
Bigger office, maybe a house in Kauai.
But what I really want is to
know everything about the night
that you put a bullet in Maya's head.
We have your prints on the gun, man.
Just come out with it.
No?
Alright.
Let me tell you about the
woman that you murdered.
I met Maya at a bar near Fremont.
She was hustling a
bunch of these frat boys
in a game of darts.
And after she took all
their daddies' money,
she gave most of the money to the guy
that was begging outside.
That's how she was.
She wanted to be a social worker, man.
She wanted to help people.
And you know who she helped?
Thony.
Cortés would've killed her if
Maya didn't get her outta there.
There was no way of saving her.
What?
It was either her or Thony.
Kamdar brought us to Maya.
He said he knew she was a rat.
And that if I didn't shoot
her, he would've killed Thony.
If it had just been me,
things would be different.
Hi. Are the kids okay?
Yes, they ate everything in the house
like a swarm of locusts,
then went back to their video games.
Well, that's your fault for
having good food and games.
Just trying to make sure people
around here still like me.
Well, you don't have to bribe me.
I already like you.
I don't leave anything to chance.
Hey, do you need any food over there?
Got a lot of great leftovers here.
Have you eaten?
Um, actually, no.
Someone's gotta take care of that.
I'll be right there after I put
out some dessert for the kids,
or they will riot.
Can't have that, huh? [LAUGHS]
Okay, let's go.
There's plenty of beluga
and bubbly onboard,
so let's not dilly-dally, my darling.
Okay.
Come.
Robert, I need to talk to you.
Thony, we were just about to leave.
It's about our shipment.
Um, I know you're busy, and
that might help, actually.
I think I should move
the meds with Arman.
He can handle this cargo.
He's moved guns all around the world.
And that way, you won't expose yourself
in being part of an operation like that.
Sounds like you're trying to tell me
how to run my own business.
Well, it's actually what
we agreed on to begin with.
You mean, before Sin Cara's massacre?
Why don't you get it, Thony?
You're so much better than Arman.
You're on a different level.
You have the potential
to do great things.
I'm willing to help you.
[STRAINS] Are you okay?
You You don't need Arman.
Robert, you okay?
You don't need him.
Robert!
MAN: Alright?
Call 9-1-1.
MAN: Folks, let's get
everybody to clear this area.
We need room. Thank you.
[THONY PANTING]
Here, use this.
A defibrillator? No, bad idea.
I don't know what meds he's on.
A shock could kill him.
- Shock him!
- Do it, Thony!
You need to save his life!
WOMAN: Guys, the paramedics are here.
MAN: Hey, over here! Clear the way.
Let them through.
Thony, if you save
him, he'll kill Arman.
Over here.
I'm a doctor.
He's bradycardic.
We need an EKG on him.
Okay, I'll get that started.
[BEEPING]
Come on, come on.
Come on, okay.
We have a rhythm.
Okay, start him on dextrose
and calcium gluconate.
See the peaked T-waves
and the QRS is widening?
That might be hyperkalemia.
If his heart stops again,
let's not shock him.
That could kill him.
- Carry on the CPR.
- You saved his life.
We'll take it from here.
MAN: He's stable.
Congratulations, you just killed Arman.
Hi, mommy.
Hello, my love.
You okay?
It does not hurt that
much anymore, mommy.
Oh, wow. This is very good.
You know why?
It's because you've
been very brave, my love.
Mommy's gonna help you fight
this until you're all better.
- Okay?
- Okay.
I love you.
- How's he doing?
- He says he's feeling better.
How about you? How are you doing?
[SIGHS]
I I don't know.
I had to do something today,
and, uh, it was difficult.
Did you find out about Luca's meds?
Yes, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.
- They're still coming.
- Okay.
But it may have put Arman
in more danger to get them.
I-I don't know much about him,
but Arman can handle himself.
You've seen that many times.
Yeah, sure, but today I was
asked to protect him over Luca.
Yeah, but y-you chose Luca.
Of course, Fi.
He's my son.
Hey, get your hands off me!
- Hey!
- Whoa.
What the I told you to
stay away from my family!
Caught this guy creeping
around back, so
My God, JD, I-I
So you do know him.
Yes, I do know him!
Can you get out of my house now?
Oh, take your time.
- Okay.
- Get out.
JD, are you okay?
You want to tell me
what's going on here?
I am so sorry. He should
not have done that.
I need to speak with you.
Alone.
It's not her fault.
I didn't say it was.
Okay.
Hey, I I
- We talked about it, Fi.
- I know.
Whatever she says
she's doing to get out,
she's clearly still in it.
I'm sorry.
I mean, I-I had no idea
That's exactly my point.
You don't know what kind of people
Thony's involved with.
And And sorry's not enough.
Sorry doesn't keep our daughter safe.
That's all I care about You and Jaz.
That's what you need to care about, too.
I do.
All I think about is
how-how to keep my kids safe.
This is it.
Well, what if it was Jaz
out there with those men?
What would we have done then?
This can't happen again.
No more.
You either live your life with Thony
or live it with your daughter.
N-No, I just
Make the right choice.
I don't want to have to make it for you.
I just [CRYING]
Listen, please, just

[COUGHING]
[MONITORS BEEPING]
[HOSPITAL INTERCOM CHATTER]
Robert. Oh.
Ay, dios mío.
Thank God you're awake.
Huh.
[SIGHS]
What happened?
They said you had a cardiac arrest.
I've never had an issue with my heart.
The doctors tested
your blood for toxins,
but they didn't find anything.
Get them to run the test again,
but this time, check everything
that could've caused this.
[SIGHS]
Hey.
Is JD okay?
He left.
Fi, I am so sorry.
I didn't know Kamdar's guy
would do something like this.
But you knew he was there.
JD's right.
W-W-We can't keep doing this.
But he wants me to choose Jaz or you.
What did you tell him?
I didn't.
I didn't.
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
I understand why you did it.
But I never would've
pulled that trigger.
That might be true.
I could take you in for Maya,
for all the other murders
you committed, for the drugs, the guns,
and Thony lying for you.
You both deserve to go down.
But I'm not gonna do that
because Kamdar's a bigger fish,
and I need you to help me take him down.
But the minute that either of
you gets in the way of that,
the second that you are
no longer useful to me,
I will bury you.
