The Cleaning Lady (2022) s02e11 Episode Script

Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"
Both his liver and his
spleen are enlarged now.
It could be fatal.
There's only one drug
that can really treat that,
and it costs $150,000.
I still have contacts in Manila.
I could get the meds for half
of what we paid in Mexico.
Just give me one good reason
why I should trust you.
I told you to file those
divorce papers years ago!
And you never did!
We just got a buyer for La Habana.
Robert?
A couple of fishermen just pulled a gun
out of the Colorado River
40 yards from where we found Maya.
We're still running the print,
but there's enough
there to find a match.
Wait a minute. Hold on. Son of a bitch.
I could take you in for Maya.
But I'm not gonna do that
because Kamdar's a bigger fish,
and I need you to help me take him down.
I'm gonna kill Kamdar. And
you're gonna help me do it.
- Robert!
- Call 9-1-1.
You saved his life.
We'll take it from here.
Oh, my
Wow!
Are you ready to really
celebrate your birthday, peanut?
- Yeah!
- Yes?
Don't go without us.
Sorry. Excuse me. We're with them.
Hi! Happy birthday!
Hi! Tita Fi, you made it.
Luca, happy birthday.
- It's Jaz and Chris!
- I know.
Hey! You made it.
We wouldn't miss your birthday, buddy.
Oh! Come on.
Hey, give me some.
- Oh!
- Excuse me.
Okay.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Come on.
Oh, we going?
Oh? We're going? Oh, okay.
- Thank you.
- Tita Thony.
Ah, thank you.
Wow!
- Crazy, right?
- JD let you come?
I don't need his permission.
Okay, he's at work.
But I couldn't let the kids
miss Luca's special day.
Especially after everything
he's been through.
Thanks, Fi.
How is he today?
Today, he's good.
Yeah! Whee!
- We're going again?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
- I want to go again.
Crazy, right?
This is the best birthday ever.
I'm gonna have to go, Fi.
What? Who is that guy?
He works for Kamdar.
Well, what does he want?
It'll be fine. I'll meet you at home.
- No, but isn't it
- Please, Fi.
Hey, my love.
Can I ride that one?
Yes, you can.
Um, Mommy has to go to work,
but I'll meet you at home
for cake and ice cream?
- Okay, Mommy.
- Okay.
Have fun, guys. I'll see you.
Winner, winner, winner!
One second.
Nadia. Where are you?
At Robert's.
I haven't been able to call
because they haven't
taken their eyes off me
since we left the hospital.
- What happened?
- I did it.
But he's still alive
because your cleaning lady
gave him CPR and saved him.
Now I'm trapped, and he won't let me go.
I'll come get you.
No. No, Arman.
We can't have him suspect anything.
And you and I aren't
supposed to be talking.
Alright, Nadia, you listen to me.
I need you to get the hell out of there
before he figures anything out.
Yeah, I know.
So far, his blood test
didn't find anything.
What did his doctor say?
That it was a cardiac arrest.
There was no poison or
drug found in his system.
Yes?
Robert wants to see you.
Yeah, of course.
I had a full physical
just a few months ago,
and there was nothing that indicated
an issue with my heart.
High potassium can lead to hyperkalemia.
We're looking at what
may have caused this now.
Your levels have since dropped,
but that could be due to stress.
The only thing that's stressing me out
is the sight of all this bloody
medical equipment in my room!
Get rid of it!
Robert, we're all here trying
to make sure you're okay.
Dr. Fogle, is this all really necessary?
Well, if he wants us to
monitor him here at home
and not the hospital, then yes.
Okay.
Could you please give us a minute?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
Alright, you know you're
gonna have to calm down.
This way.
What is she doing here?
I want a second opinion from
the doctor who saved my life.
Thanks for that, by the way.
Give her my toxicology report.
Thank you.
So, what do you think, Thony?
Your blood work looks normal, but the
Your potassium levels
are unusually high.
And what would cause that?
Have you had any fatigue
or muscle weakness
before your attack?
No. Never been fitter.
Well, it's possible that you have
undetected kidney or liver damage.
That can cause elevated
potassium levels.
Well, I do like my
drink, but not that much.
But you tell me.
Your numbers look well
within the normal range.
So what's the most plausible explanation
for my cardiac arrest?
It could be a drug interaction.
Something you took didn't
react well with something else.
That's exactly what my doctor said.
But there's nothing in this
report that indicates that.
Not to worry.
I'm having them run a second,
more thorough tox screen.
Thank you, Doctor.
You're welcome.
I don't think it's gonna
take you long to recover,
but in the meantime, if you want,
Arman and I can sell
the drugs coming from Manila,
so it's nothing for you to worry about.
Actually, it is.
The shipment's gone missing.
What?
It happens all the time.
Cargo's always getting
delayed or misplaced.
Let's hope that's all it is,
since your son's medication
is with that shipment.
Well, I-I'll check with
the pharmaceutical factory in Manila.
There's no need.
My sources say it went missing
after it arrived in Long Beach.
I'll send my best men to track it down.
It'll turn up.
And then we'll find out
exactly who's to blame.
Till then, Juergen will take you home.
I'll walk you out.
Why would you tell him
it was a drug interaction?
Because it was a test.
He knew the answer.
Well, he's gonna suspect me now.
So if you happen to see Arman,
tell him you sold us both out.
Thank you for coming, Thony.
Good to see you.
Yeah, I'm here. Great. Let's meet up.
Uh, I'm I'm so sorry. I
need to go to the restroom.
- Yeah, I'll wait here.
- Yeah, thanks.
Garrett?
You want to explain why the
hell you're being driven around
by Kamdar's men?
He had a cardiac arrest and
he asked me to check on him.
And you're the one who was
supposed to detain Arman
so that wouldn't happen.
Yeah, I did. And guess what he told me.
After everything that I have done,
you didn't even have the decency
to tell me what happened with Maya.
That you were there when she was killed.
I ju I just didn't know how to
You had me watch over
your family that night.
I looked the other way with Chris.
I protected you.
I'm sorry, Garrett.
Yeah. You're sorry.
Does that word have any
meaning to you anymore?
Hmm?
Or have you gotten so good at lying
and covering up the truth that
you don't even recognize it?
Yes, Fi?
Oh, thank God. Thony.
Luca has a fever of 104,
and he's been vomiting.
We're here at Nevada General.
We just got here.
I-I didn't know what else to do.
You did the right thing.
I-I'll be right there.
Luca's at the hospital. I have to go.
Okay.
I'll park the van.
We'll come in with you.
No, no. It's not safe for you.
Because we're TNTs? Mom, I don't care.
- It's Luca.
- No, okay?
I can't take that risk with
you if anything happens.
- Then I'll call Dad.
- No.
He'll take Luca in.
No, okay? He's at work.
It'll take too long for him to get here.
Luca needs to go now.
Then I'll wait with you.
No, Jaz.
Okay, if I get deported,
Child Services will
take you away from me.
Look, I need you to both listen to me.
Take the van and go to JD's.
Wait for him to come home.
Please. Then I know you're both safe.
My purse, please.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Next.
What's your emergency?
Um, my nephew has a high fever,
and he started throwing
up about an hour ago.
Has he been to this hospital before?
No. It's It's his first time.
Proof of insurance?
Uh, he doesn't
We don't have insurance,
but it's an emergency.
Does he have prior medical conditions?
Yes. His His whole life.
Fill that out. Bring it
back when you're done.
We'll need his date of birth,
home address, and his Social.
Uh, Social?
His Social Security number?
Yes.
Right. Thank you.
Tita, where's Mommy?
She'll be here soon, okay?
You can leave that part blank.
What?
The Social Security section.
You don't have to put one
down if you don't have one.
Some people just make up a number.
My mom was tago ng tago.
She didn't have a number either.
Medical repatriation
happens, but not here.
This is a sanctuary city.
At this hospital, we don't
care where you're from,
just that you're here now.
Everyone's entitled to emergency care,
regardless of your status.
Thank you.
Hey, buddy. You doing okay?
- Code blue, stat, in the E.R.
- Got to go.
We're really slammed back there.
But we will get him
in as soon as we can.
Salamat.
Oh.
Joseph, thank you. Let me do it.
I'm not hungry.
I'm just keeping you company.
Well, you have to eat, Robert.
The chef is bringing
out something light.
And it's also good for you to
get up and move a little bit.
Right?
Robert, you scared me.
I thought we almost lost you.
Is that right?
Yes.
But you'll be feeling
like your old self soon.
I promise.
My father died of a heart attack at 45.
I always had this looming fear
that I would die at the
same age, just like him.
But you didn't.
Because I took every
available precaution.
I tried to keep on top of
my cardiovascular health.
I hired the best doctors
to keep an eye on my heart.
But here I am.
Recovering from a cardiac arrest.
Some things we can't control, right?
It doesn't mean I didn't try.
Uh, not for me.
Doctor's orders.
Just for her.
Though it is my favorite grand cru.
There is something I
need to tell you, Robert.
When you were away,
Thony came to the office asking
about a shipment from Manila.
She wanted to know when
it was coming and she
She said she needed to know for her son.
So I didn't think much of it
until I heard you two talking.
I think Thony's the one who
tried to steal your shipment.
Thanks for telling me this.
We're gonna have to sort this out.
Make sure someone is
with her at all times.
I wouldn't want anything
to happen to you.
Would I?
Sorry. Fi?
Oh, God.
- How is he?
- I don't know.
They haven't checked him yet,
but they keep telling us to wait.
Oh, my God. My love, can you hear me?
Okay, how long did
they say it would take?
I don't know, but I've heard people say
they've been here for six hours already.
He doesn't have that kind of time.
Ma'am, excuse me.
My My son needs to be seen now.
We're moving as quickly as we can.
I know, but he just
had a liver transplant,
and his body's rejecting the new organ.
His temperature is at 104.
He's jaundiced.
There's blood in his vomit,
which means that he's
going into liver failure.
You need to call a code white.
Please!
I know I look like any worried mother,
but I am a doctor and I am telling you,
if you don't admit him immediately,
he's gonna die in this waiting room.
Code white!
We have a code white
in the reception area.
Code white.
- Thank you.
- Code white.
- Here.
- Hi. Excuse me. Coming through.
This is my son.
I got you. Come on. Come on, sweetheart.
Okay.
Okay, we're coming with you.
- Let's go.
- Alright.
- Behind you. Come on.
- Go.
Robert, you wanted to see me?
I want you to send a
team to every rail yard
and shipping yard in the Nevada area.
Find that container with my drugs.
Yes, sir.
And bring Thony to me.
If she's the one who's stealing from me,
I want to make an example of her.
What part of "emergency"
takes two hours
to even see a doctor, huh?
I mean, it's like we're invisible.
Well, you know what? I'm
gonna make them see us.
Hi. Excuse me.
Hi. Uh, I am looking for Dr. Gonzales.
He's down there.
Thank you.
Dr. Gonzales?
Dr. Gonzales, excuse me, excuse me.
Patient Luca De La Rosa, age 6,
previously immunocompromised.
Now, 10 weeks post liver transplant.
His TPR shows significant drops
in respiration and pulse ox.
I'm sorry. Who are you?
I'm a doctor.
But right now, I'm a mother
whose son's been ignored.
Okay.
Uh, you said his transplant
was only 10 weeks ago?
Yeah.
Organ rejection is always a concern,
but I wouldn't have imagined
quite this much damage already.
The first graft seems extremely clean,
so it doesn't appear to be
complications from the surgery.
Listen, Luca can't wait any longer.
He needs to be seen now.
As you know, with these numbers,
he may be cirrhotic already.
Yeah, but he He might not be.
There's still a chance
we can reverse the damage.
But if he is, all I can
do is start the process
to add him to the UNOS transplant list.
Uh, I understand, but I
Okay, look, I'm just gonna come
by your room in a few minutes
and treat his discomfort
in the meantime.
- Okay?
- Okay. Thank you.
At least he's on the transplant list.
He's never going to
qualify for a transplant.
And even if he does, how
long is that gonna take?
I need this new drug from Manila.
I know it's still experimental,
but it can reverse the liver damage.
I'm gonna call Arman.
I'm sure he has the drugs.
Go. Do Do what you have to do.
I'll I'll stay with Luca.
Thank you.
What do you want, Thony?
Do you have those drugs from Manila?
What, you mean the meds
you said I couldn't get?
I got them rerouted,
but I don't have them
because you screwed it all up.
Okay. I'm really sorry.
I really am. But I need that drug
Look, if you had just trusted me,
Kamdar would be dead
and we'd have those meds.
But since he's still
alive, thanks to you,
we all have to lay low now.
I can't wait.
I'm at the hospital with
Luca, and the tests confirmed
that his liver is so damaged
they can't do anything about it
but put him on the transplant list.
And we both know he's
never gonna get it this way.
So this drug from Manila is my only hope
to reverse the liver damage.
That's why I did what I did with Kamdar.
But, please, don't let my son
pay for my mistakes, Arman.
I need this drug.
Alright.
We'll get those meds, but
after that, we're done.
Thank you.
What hospital are you in?
Nevada General.
Kamdar's men are watching.
I'll slip out the back.
I'll come get you.
You know how many angry calls
I've gotten looking for
that missing shipment?
Did you say anything?
No, of course not.
Alright, get this
cargo out of my hair
Hey, I need that.
Arman, it's here!
So, what are we looking for here?
It's called hepatic peptin.
It could be in any of these boxes.
Nope.
Okay.
Nope.
Okay.
It's okay.
Where?
Alright, let's go. Alright,
two of you in the back.
You come with me.
It's Kamdar's men. Just find it fast.
I'll do what I can to hold them off.
Okay.
No.
No.
Hi, Tita Mommy.
Tita Mommy? That's a new one.
Dinosaurs, basketballs,
and boats on Saturn.
Hmm? Wait. What was that, Luca?
Stars like boats.
Stars like boats?
Um, yeah, of course.
Of course, sweetheart.
Uh, excuse me.
Uh, I think there's something wrong.
He's starting to talk funny.
Don't worry. I'm I'm
sure he's just tired.
The monitors will let us
know if something's wrong.
Doctor!
Um
No! No, no. He He needs help!
Um, his nose is bleeding!
Aah!
Dr. Gonzales. Excuse me.
Um, Dr. Gonzales,
Luca's nose is bleeding,
and he's not making sense.
He's just talking gibberish.
I need a procedure
cart and a nasal pack!
Yes, Doctor. Right away.
Okay, let's go!
Yes!
He's got epistaxis. Probable
hepatic encephalopathy.
What is that?
It's okay. We got him.
You can just wait outside the room.
Okay. I'm I'm just here, okay?
Pick up, Thony.
Go ahead. I got him.
Go that way.
There she is!
Aah!
Aah! Aah!
Get down!
Fi?
How is he?
Thony, thank God.
The nurse keeps checking his vitals,
but he had a nosebleed,
and I guess he had some brain swelling.
They gave him something
to help him, but
Did you get the new medicine?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
We can't give it to him now.
It could affect his
respiratory function.
So we have to put him
on a ventilator first
before we start him on it.
There's no reason to
put him on a ventilator.
His breathing is fine.
Hepatic peptin? I didn't prescribe that.
Well, it's a new drug that
helps with liver failure.
And it's not been FDA-approved here.
No, but many countries
have used it successfully.
But not here.
And even if it were legal,
I'm his doctor, not you.
Look, it is unethical
to treat another member
of Of your family.
And it is illegal to
administer this drug.
We have no other options.
Maybe not, but regulations
exist for a reason.
I am not asking you to administer it.
If you are asking me to
look the other way, I won't.
She's asking for you to
help her save her son.
The answer is still no.
Dr. Gonzales, patient's
ready for you, room 3B.
I don't care. We need a ventilator.
There must be one free in this hospital.
You're still gonna give
Luca the medication anyway?
- Yes.
- How are you gonna do that?
I don't know.
We must know someone
who works here.
Okay.
Okay, thanks, Samentha.
Okay. Okay. Thank you, Nina.
Any luck?
Yeah, okay, Nina's cousin can help us.
She's a cleaning lady in radiology,
and she knows where
the equipment room is.
She said she can take us there.
Okay. There it is.
She's on three, and she
wants us to meet her there.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Okay.
All the extra equipment is kept in here,
but if we have it, it's stored here.
That That's perfect.
Nina told our family how
you helped deliver her baby.
- Thank you.
- Oh.
You know, we all have
to help each other.
Thank you.
Thank you, Aurora.
Oh, excuse me.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Great. Thank you so much.
Get him down here.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, med bay 3. Can
we get an EKG on him?
Alright, let's get him in med 3.
In the middle.
That's good. Perfect.
Okay.
Mommy, where are we?
We are in a place where
people like to pray, my love.
I wish we can go on the rides again.
Um, and we will when you feel better.
Okay?
It was the best birthday ever.
Well, wait until you
see your next birthday.
Right?
It's gonna be so much fun.
But for now, I think you need
to take a little nap, my love.
Okay?
I want you to rest a little bit, okay?
And when you wake up, I'm sure
you're gonna feel much better.
Okay.
I'm gonna put your little
Give me your arm.
Okay.
Here.
That's fine.
So can you count to 10 for Mommy?
One, two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight
Yeah. Okay.
Lower it down.
Okay.
Take the pillow, please.
Bring him up.
That's right.
Okay. Now what?
Um, now we have to wait
for all the medication
to go through his IV,
and about 36 hours after
that, uh, we can take him off
the ventilator if he's stabilized.
I told you no No
and you do this anyway,
right after I told you that
this is against hospital policy,
that this is illegal.
Okay, you cannot take
him off this ventilator.
That could kill him.
And I'm not gonna let him die
over some regulation or policy.
And I know you won't either.
Because we both became
doctors to save lives.
I am just begging you
to help me save my son.
Hi.
Uh, vodka martini,
please, up, with olives.
Thank you.
No.
Of all the gin joints,
she walks in to mine.
"Of all the gin joints in all
the towns in all the world,
she walks into mine."
No, my version sounds better.
"Casablanca" is one of the
greatest movies of all time.
So, no, you did not improve it.
This is why you are the
boss and I am the screw-up.
I don't know anything, alright?
Accuracy That's your thing.
Or I'm just an OCD freak who
needs to be right all the time.
- Yeah. And that.
- Thank you.
Cheers.
So, how did we get here?
- I don't know.
- Huh?
We have barely started drinking, Miller,
- and you opened with that.
- No, well, I'm already
I'm two drinks in, so let
me just set the stage here.
I am yelling at Thony, alright?
I mean, I am in her face,
screaming at her for being a liar.
And then she gets a call
that her son is in the ER.
And then I suddenly It hit me.
I-I-I just had this complete epiphany.
You get too close to your CIs?
It's pathetic.
It is part of the job.
And when you remember that,
you're gonna sleep easier at night.
Arman admitted that he shot Maya.
I'm not gonna tell you
how I got him to confess,
but Kamdar made him do it.
It was her or Thony.
And you believe him?
Yeah, the irony is, Arman is a criminal
who actually tells the truth.
And, yeah, of course I
want to bring him down,
but you were right.
Kamdar's a bigger whale.
See?
If you just admit I'm right,
things are just easier between us.
I wouldn't say things
are difficult between us.
How would you say things are, then?
Between us.
I am a big girl.
If you don't want this, just say so.
No, it's not that.
We could be something.
We both know that.
But, Russo, like, I'm a I
am a mess right now, alright?
I mean, I need to figure it out.
Yeah.
- I get that.
- Yeah.
Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Ugh. JD's back, and he's pissed.
I'll deal with that later.
It's better to ask for
forgiveness than permission.
Ah. He's a good guy.
- He gets it.
- Yeah.
Do you want any, uh, coffee
or tea from the cafeteria?
- No, I'm good.
- No? Okay.
This is Theresa Wilcox
with Social Services.
- What's going on?
- Mrs. Wilcox will stay with Luca
until the treatment is
finished and he is stabilized.
- What are you talking about?
- The two of you
have stolen hospital property
and administered an illegal drug
that's not approved in this country.
So I will be pressing charges.
What's What are you doing?
Thony De La Rosa, you are under arrest.
Anything you say can be used against you
- in a court of law.
- Are you kidding me?
Are you really doing this?
I need to call my children
to let someone know. Please.
You'll get a call down
at the station. Let's go.
You're not taking my son
away from me! Do you hear me?!
I won't let that happen!
You made a mistake.
Thony didn't steal my drugs.
Arman did.
- No. It can't be.
- You're lying.
Armando would never do that.
All Thony wanted was
the medicine for her son.
But I found out that
Arman used an old contact
to reroute that entire shipment.
What? I didn't know that.
You've been lying to me.
No, Robert, I haven't I haven't
Because you're still protecting him.
And that's why you poisoned me.
Aah!
