Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"
I'm sure I don't need to remind you
that I'm the head of Sin Cara now.
Don't do something
that you're gonna regret.
Okay? They burned
her alive in front of me.
We're gonna make a new home.
Tita Fi says if
someone's picking on you,
you're not supposed to run away,
or else they will just
keep picking on you.
Jorge is at the Desert Coliseum.
Convince him to come visit me,
and I'll give you what you ask.
- [GUNSHOT]
- Ah!
[GROANS]
Podesky! Mándalo page
Arterial trauma in the
upper left shoulder.
Who are you?
What do you want?
His job.
[CHUCKLES]
Let's get this over with.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[KEYPAD BEEPING]
Be careful when coming here alone.
- Who else has keys?
- No one.
Still, always count the Oxy.
And I recommend carrying
a weapon of some kind.
Okay.
I hope you know what you're doing.
When they page,
you answer.
Understood. Any advice?
Don't let it keep you up at night.
The things you'll see.
What's up, Doc?
I'm not the doctor anymore.
I know.
Get in the car. Get in the car.
I ain't gonna bite.
[SIGHS]
I'm gonna miss you, Doc.
[GUNSHOT]
[SIGHS]
Wow! You're a doctor again.
Yes, my love.
Alright, let's go get breakfast.
Alright. What do you want?
Um, eggs on toast?
Cinnamon Crunch.
Okay. But not every day this week.
And you have to drink a cup of water
- for every ounce of that.
- Don't doctor me.
Alright? Let me have this.
I've been up all night doing
the books for the business.
Everything okay?
No, everything's not okay.
- I lost another account.
- Oh, Fi.
What if I can't do this alone?
What if I mess everything up?
No, no. Out of the two of us,
you were born to be a boss.
You'll find another account.
We already did find
another account a bad one.
Except I had to accept it to
keep the money coming in.
And Chris. Chris won't be happy.
It's not dangerous, is it?
Oh, really? From you? [LAUGHS]
Ah. And here is my new employee.
- Mom, please don't.
- JAZ: Nice shirt.
Has Camila seen it yet?
You know, as a matter of fact, she has.
She thinks I look muy lindo.
Muy lindo.
What's lindo?
It's like cute.
Oh. Mom, you look lindo, too.
Thank you, my love,
but it'll be linda for me.
But you're Thony.
Yes. I'm Thony.
So, Mom, what are we cleaning today?
What?
What are we cleaning today?
Oh, um, it's a surprise.
You're gonna love it.
- [HORN HONKS]
- Um, that's my ride.
- FIONA: You're going?
- I'm going, yeah.
- Good luck.
- LUCA: Super Thony!
- Super Thony.
- Super Thony!
- Good luck.
- Save lives!
- Good luck.
- Save lives!
- Save lives!
- Save lives!
Bye.
Was the motorcade necessary?
You might have forgotten,
but someone tried to kill me.
[SIGHS]
You really shouldn't be driving.
It's only been four days
since I sewed up your artery.
Your work visa.
How did you do this? Like, how did
How did you find me a
real job in a real hospital?
Cartel membership has its privileges.
You're starting a medical residency
training program today.
In three years, you make it through,
you'll be certified to practice medicine
anywhere in the U.S.
It's not a gift, Thony.
I know.
Did Podesky tell you
everything you need to know?
Yeah. You page, I show up.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Get out. I'll check your stitches.
I'll do it.
Have you visited your
sister in prison yet?
I've been busy recovering.
- Uh-huh.
- [WINCES]
And the last thing we want
is for her to get restless.
That's okay.
I'm not convinced she
isn't behind the hit on me.
I know, but if she loses you,
she loses the cartel and her power.
So
I'll visit her today.
You should get inside.
Your contact is Melissa,
the chief administrator.
She'll take care of everything.
Oh, one more thing.
It's yours.
This?
I need you available
when you're paged 24/7.
Sharing the family
van with your sister
wasn't gonna cut it.
Vamonos!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
MELISSA: Hope you
don't scare easy, Doctor.
This place is a bit of a wild card.
A haven for no-pay
patients, wasted tourists,
and the occasional D-list celebrity
who didn't want to go
to the fancy hospital
because of the object
stuck in his rectum.
Always a fun time here at Dub-Vee-Cee.
- Sounds like it.
- Dr. DuPont
this is Dr. Thony De
La Rosa, our new intern.
Hello.
[FRENCH ACCENT] Ahh, the
one that bought her way in here.
Nice to meet you, Dr. DuPont.
Fab. Please don't kill each other.
Quel bordel.
Fine. Let's go.
I'm told you have some experience.
I spent most of my career as
a thoracic surgeon in Manila.
That's very impressive for you.
We have electronic files,
but the system is slow
and it breaks down daily.
So get used to hand-writing your notes
and always place the file in
the hands of a human being.
I'm the only attending,
and you are my only intern,
so I don't have time to babysit.
You have to be quick and precise.
If you can't give a
diagnosis in two minutes,
this is not the place for you.
Two minutes is a luxury where I'm from.
Why would an experienced surgeon
like you choose this place?
As you can see, we are ill-equipped,
unorganized and underfunded.
Some days, even unsanitary.
Well, the people who have no choice
but to come here need
doctors like me then.
That ego won't serve you here.
It seems to serve you just fine.
In that case, you can
take the patient in bed 2.
He's been constipated for weeks.
How long have you been constipated?
Hello. I'm Dr. De La Rosa.
And you are?
Monsieur Trevinthan?
Okay.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Dios mio. Do you have any idea
what you put me through?
I heard you were shot.
You burned an FBI agent alive.
No more stunts like that. Me oyes?
And Thony is off limits.
She's Sin Cara now.
Yeah, I heard. [CHUCKLES]
Clever little mouse.
I'm only here because she asked me to.
So [SPEAKS SPANISH]
To keep you safe.
This mining project of
yours is putting a target
on your back with our associates.
Is that who you think tried to kill me?
Our partners?
You don't know who it was yet?
Whoever was responsible
should be dead by now, Jorge.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
No, no, no, no, hermano.
You don't.
You're showing them dreams
when they need to see strength.
- Money is strength.
- Ahh.
I'm elevating Sin Cara
to something you could never understand.
[LAUGHS]
- [SPEAKS SPANISH]
- [SPEAKS SPANISH]
I've got a meeting to put the
last piece of my project in place.
Mm. Let me guess.
With Hunter Heller. Listen to me.
You cannot trust the Hellers.
Her father controls Vegas.
This is why you need me.
I can help you run my cartel.
[SPEAKS SPANISH]
The cartel is mine now.
I don't need help
from an old, sad, crazy woman
who tried to steal my daughter
- [POUNDS TABLE]
- and put me in jail.
[SPEAKS SPANISH] Ramona!
[YELLS IN SPANISH]
[SIGHS]
[GRUNTING]
Wait, wait.
This is our new account?
Mm-hmm.
Mom, I cannot clean this place,
out of all places of Vegas.
Why? I mean, this is our
community, your childhood.
I mean, the people helped
us a lot when we were here.
Mom, the people are not the problem.
It's one woman who's the problem.
Ooh. I I don't know
who you're talking about.
Mom, do not play this
game with me right now.
You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Okay. She She
literally humiliated you.
She tried to turn everyone against us
for being undocumented.
Anak. We have no choice.
Okay? We need work.
Just please.
I can do this.
Okay.
Oh, my God, look at this place.
I mean, when we came here,
there was nothing but, you know,
peanut butter and boogers on the walls.
Is that Fiona and Chris De La Rosa?
Oh, my God, Rose,
it's so nice to see you.
It's so nice to see you, too.
We've all been waiting
for the day when our
wayward ate and pamangkin
make their way back here.
Oh, really? Have you?
Um, the place looks a-amazing.
Oh. Thank you. I took over as director
last year as an act of
service to my community.
Of course, but it took a lot
of elbow grease to
get it to look this nice.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
And Chris. My gosh.
You've gotten so
handsome, even with that hair.
It made me so sad that
you and Ted had lost touch.
Nothing made me happier
than to see you boys dance. Ted!
Oh, no. You don't have to call him back.
- You remember Fiona and Chris De La Rosa.
- FIONA: Hi.
Hey, man.
- What's up?
- What's up, man?
Ted is taking a year
off to be in service
for our community before
he goes to Cornell next year.
Mom
Well, we should start cleaning.
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yes. Make this place sparkle.
Sparkle. Yes.
Make it sparkle.
So you'll take the antibiotics
twice a day for seven days.
And it's important he
doesn't miss a dose.
And it tastes like bubblegum.
So you're good. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Have a good day.
- [PAGER BUZZING]
- Lena. Thank you.
[SIGHS]
[DOORS CRASH OPEN]
Incoming! 3's open.
17-year-old female found
unresponsive at home.
Possible septic shock.
Mother says she's had stomach
aches and flu-like symptoms.
NURSE: Let's get O2 going.
Preparing a cutdown tray.
WOMAN: 1, 2, 3.
Let's get fluids and bloodwork.
Possible diverticulitis.
NURSE: I'll put it in.
Prep her for imaging.
- Yes, Doctor.
- Wait.
You see the redness
on her hands and feet?
I think it's toxic shock syndrome.
I want to do a pelvic
exam. Get the curtain.
Pelvic exam. Let's go.
[PAGER BUZZING]
[LINE RINGS]
What is it, Feng?
Well, I was hoping to meet your new doc,
but apparently she
doesn't like house calls.
God.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
You treat like a field medic.
Thank you.
It's not a compliment.
You are here to learn.
Never speak over me during
triage. You understand?
Perfectly.
[CELLPHONE BUZZING]
Why the hell aren't you
answering your pages?
We page, you show up.
That was the deal, Thony.
I was saving a teenager's life.
You want me to walk away from that?
The only reason you're saving lives
is because I put you there.
Because you are my doctor. You got that?
I'm sending you an address.
You get there now,
or this all goes away.
Lena, uh,
tell Dr. DuPont I have an emergency.
Okay? I'll be back as soon as possible.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
[LAUGHTER]
Oye.
[LAUGHING]
Ay.
Sí, carino. How can I help you?
Did you take my phone?
You know
I have a long laundry list
of grievances with you.
First, you didn't even
introduce yourself.
And as a Mexicana in my prison,
that's already a problem.
Then one of my best
customers ends up dead
after my crew saw you talking to her.
Third strike the phone.
And I don't remember
giving you permission
for that kind of contraband.
I can't let any of this disrespect
go unpunished, carino.
[SIGHS]
I apologize.
I had every intention
to introduce myself.
Hmm.
But I wanted to respect
your mourning process.
What makes you think
that I'm mourning, hmm?
[DOOR OPENS IN DISTANCE]
[KEYS JINGLING]
Your mother.
She was a powerful woman.
She died recently.
Did she not?
Get out.
Move it!
Not even my crew knows that.
So how the heck do you know my mother?
Who the hell are you? Hmm?
Eres cartel?
I'm nobody.
But the dead
they speak to me.
- Bruja?
- Làrgate!
- But she lies!
- Làrgate!
You got five minutes.
Now, if you're lying to me
voy a matarte. Entiendes?
[SIGHS]
So you're the new Podesky, huh?
- I'm Dr. De La Rosa.
- De La Rosa.
Weren't you the cleaning lady?
Can you take me to my patient?
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
What's this place?
Oh, you know, just your run-of-the-mill
customer-service call center.
BENNY: Boss. Boss.
[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
49-year-old widow from a dating app.
I got her to open a crypto account,
but now she has cold feet.
Won't transfer her savings.
Uh-oh.
Did you follow the script?
Did you become the man of her dreams?
BENNY: Of course.
Uh, man, I tried.
Step aside, Benny.
"I understand It feels like a risk"
"but love is a risk."
"Imagine our life"
"once we get this transaction."
"Spending entire days in bed."
"Oh, how I want this for us."
[BEEPING]
There.
Well done, Benny.
So these men are
scamming women for money.
Don't be silly. Most of these men
are scamming other men.
Loneliness doesn't discriminate.
- And they fall for it?
- Well, let's just say
I incentivize my workers not to fail.
Pick one.
The devil.
El diablo.
Your mother says
you have to be careful
who you trust in here.
Who can't I trust?
I'd be happy to help you discover who.
Ni tanto que queme al santo.
Ni tanto que no lo alumbre.
My mother used to say that.
You can trust your mother
and me.
[DOOR BUZZES]
It's Ramona. I need information.
I'm willing to pay for it.
What exactly happened here?
Well, there's a lot of rough
edges on these floors.
Hey, come see me before you leave.
[MAN COUGHING]
You can't help him.
He's a poor performer.
He'll be dead soon.
He needs a hospital.
That's what he needs.
The infection is already
in the bloodstream.
I've never seen anyone
walk out of here alive.
But I volunteer as tribute
if you'd like to help me try.
It'll be easy. All we
need are a lot of guns.
It should be no problem
getting guns in this country.
Or, like, tanks or, like, swords, too.
Or a chopper.
You can airlift me out of here.
All else fails, we use napalm.
Pwoo!
I'm Benny, by the way. Like the Jets.
Hmm. You seem to be
watching a lot of movies.
I did back at home.
I love the American movies.
That's how I learned English.
My dream was to come to this country
and be an action star.
I thought I was being
recruited for an IT job.
We all did.
Benny, I wish I could help you,
but I really can't.
I'm sorry, I can't.
Sure.
Sorry.
I'll come back tomorrow
to give him more antibiotics.
As long as he's conscious,
your work is done.
You might be the boss here,
but you don't tell me how to do my job.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Till then, you leave him alone.
Okay. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
MAN: Sir, you have a visitor.
Miss Heller.
Call me Hunter.
Wow.
They did not tell me
you were so handsome.
Please take a seat.
Let's just get right to it, shall we?
I don't want to do that
thing where we pretend
we don't know of each
other and our families.
To our families.
Now, you want to use the access road
through my father's
land to transport materials
to and from your
proposed rare-earth mine.
And I'm offering a very
generous percentage
for the use of said road.
My family would be
very happy to do business
with you for 75% of your profits.
You have a sense of humor.
Your other option
would be to sell the land
you've already
purchased to me right now.
Okay. $13 billion.
That's the estimated value
of the rare-earth metals in my land.
But I'm sure you already knew that.
You know, most people
think that Nevada was
built by mobsters and
casinos and tourism,
but they're wrong. It
was built on mining.
When my great great
grandfather came out here,
he had nothing but a
dirty spoon to dig with.
And when he struck gold,
he planted a flag in the Heller name.
We've been pulling precious metals
out of the ground ever since.
My family built Nevada, Jorge.
Trust me, you don't want
to get into mining without us.
It's a dirty business.
Trust me.
You don't know dirty.
- 60% of your profits.
- [SIGHS]
You do know I have other options.
My land also borders
with the Paiute reservation.
Right. Because the
Paiutes react so warmly
to capitalists trying to
bulldoze their sacred land.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Call me if you change your mind.
I won't, but, uh
it was nice to meet you, Hunter.
Hmm. Bye.
Set up a meeting with Chief Wovoka.
Yes, sir.

Creep.
I used to love watching
you dance tinikling.
It made me feel connected to home.
I know you hated it,
but you were so good.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY]
I didn't hate it. I just
it's not cool to like it, you know?
[SIGHS]
I think I've missed this place. [LAUGHS]
ROSE: Oh. Good. There you are.
I have to run. I have
dinner with the mayor,
some, uh, charity thing
for the underprivileged.
Um, what do I owe you?
I'm assuming that
cash is preferred. Yeah?
No paper trail for the TNT, right?
Uh, no. We're a legitimate business,
so it actually matters.
You can't really be if
you're not legitimate, right?
I mean, it's great. No judgment.
If there's one thing I've learned,
it's that the rich get rich
because they hire good, cheap labor.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
Let the community center keep its money.
We don't need it.
Think of it as an act of service,
to give back to this place
for all it gave us once
before people like you
made us feel unwelcomed.
I'm sorry.
I know, anak. We're gonna be okay.
How was your first day as a doctor?
Was it everything you had hoped for?
The cartel paged.
Um, they have a
warehouse full of immigrants.
They live underground.
The punishments are
I I I don't want to hear anymore.
I thought I knew what I was getting into
as the cartel's doctor,
but I am not prepared for this.
The cartel will be the cartel.
Okay? Whether
you're a part of it or not.
As their doctor, at least
you can ease some suffering.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
[SIGHS]
- Hello.
- Doctor.
[WOMAN SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY OVER P.A. SYSTEM]
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
How is she doing?
- What do you care?
- Of course I care.
Look, I'm sorry, I had
an emergency yesterday.
Save it.
Melissa explained everything to me.
Oh, everything? What did she say?
Ah. The hospital now has
a new shiny MRI machine
we desperately needed thanks
to an anonymous donation.
And that earns you a coveted position
I had a more qualified candidate for!
- Well, I am so sorry
- And for reasons above my pay grade
- that you couldn't hire who you wanted.
- you can come and go as you please.
No, you're not.
You wanted something and you took it.
I hate that kind of
thing. It's so American.
You don't know anything about me.
I know I don't trust you.
You walked out on a
patient under critical care.
You excused me and she was stabilized.
Otherwise I would not have done it.
And I'm supposed to just believe that?
Based on what? You
cheated your way in here.
Now you come and go as you please.
I'm sorry. I should not have gone
but I had to. I had to.
I don't care your reasons.
I can't fire you.
But I can limit the damage you cause.
Stay away from my patients.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
CHIEF WOVOKA: It's a big number.
JORGE: That number is just
for permission to build our road.
Once the mine turns a profit,
you'll be cut into a
percentage of the take.
We're talking nine figures, Chief.
[HORSE NEIGHS]
[SPEAKS NATIVE LANGUAGE]
This land is sacred.
We don't take deferred payment.
Hasn't worked out for us in the past.
Name your price, then.
You know, we have a creation myth.
The first man and woman found a bottle.
Four beings dropped out.
They were taught to make fire.
The first two made
fire with minimal smoke
as to not harm what was around it.
The other two made
fire with a thick smoke
without a care for what they killed.
How do you make your fire, Jorge?
With efficiency and respect.
I'll consider your offer
if your sister approves.
Ramona isn't part of this project.
That's too bad.
That woman can control fire.
- [SIGHS]
- You get her blessing, you'll have mine,
and you'll have your road.
YENG: What did I say?
- MAN: Be more specific.
- MAN #2: Boss.
FENG: You're done, okay? Done.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Hey.
Where's my patient?
[MAN COUGHING]
I told you he was a dead man.
What happened?
Feng put him back to work last night.
They even punished him for being slow.
I think that was all that he could take.
Come here.
[MAN COUGHING]
What did he do to you?
They even beat me for talking to you.
Stop talking to me then.
Remember how you said
that you wished you
could help me escape?
- I think I figured out how.
- No, no, I never said that.
No, no, no. Just hear
me out. Hear me out.
Do you have any, um,
matches or a lighter?
I'm not gonna let you
set this place on fire.
No, no, no, that's
that's not the plan, I swear.
I have a family.
I I can't help you. I am so sorry.
I have a family, too.
[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY IN DISTANCE]
[YELLING INDISTINCTLY]
[SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]
[SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]
Another dead man.
They're not gonna just kill him, right?
Eventually, they kill all of us.
As soon as we stop making the money.
I know you can't save everyone,
but shouldn't helping
one person be worth it?
Okay, they won't know I helped you?
And you're not gonna hurt anyone?
They'll have no idea.
And probably not.
RAMONA: So now you need my help.
Much of what you said is true.
I am sad, many nights alone in my cell.
And Lord knows I'm getting old.
But let me give you
a piece of advice, little brother.
Never, ever use the word "crazy"
to dismiss a woman.
Do you understand?
It was a mistake.
I made a mistake when I betrayed you.
When Vanessa died,
you were the only thing holding me up.
My only family.
Darling, my reasons
for what I did remain true.
I wanted to put you behind bars
to make you strong.
Our associates, they do not fear you.
I know.
We can change that.
Alone, neither of us
can control Sin Cara.
- But together
- I'll work with you, Ramona.
But remember something.
If I get word of your identity out,
you won't last another night in here.
You betray me again
I'll let them rip you apart.
Do you understand?
There's the strength
I've been waiting to see.
I'll find out what Wovoka really wants.
But first, we need to repair your image.
A Sin Cara leader
cannot sustain an attack
on his life without retribution.
To that end
I got you a name.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
What the hell?
What the?

- Hi!
- [SCREAMS]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
What are you doing in my car? Get out!
Uh, please go.
That's not what we agreed on.
I'll die in the desert
if I'm out there alone.
That's why they chose this place.
I gave you what you needed, okay?
- I can't I can't do more.
- Doctor.
Some people are born great,
and others have
greatness thrust upon me.
Do not quote movies at me!
Okay. I'm sorry. Um
Okay. Look. I chose
you because you cared.
[SIGHS]
No one who sees us in there cares.
[SIGHS]
All you have to do is drive away
and you'll save my life.
[SIGHS]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Please.
Be right back. I think
I left my headphones
at the community center,
so I'm gonna go grab them.
Wait, are you sure you
want to go back there?
I mean, hey, I can buy you new ones.
Right. Like we have the money for that.
Chris, I'm I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't charge
Rose after we worked all day.
I mean, we need the money,
but I just I just
couldn't take one more
second of her smug attitude, you know?
I mean, the look on her face
- was worth it.
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
- Ah!
- Okay. Go ahead.
- Hey.
- Don't burn them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um
Hey, I need your, uh,
recipe for sweet and sour.
Okay, Fi. One second.
Okay. TV. Okay. You good?
Okay. So, just to give you the heads-up,
we have a guest in the warehouse.
Wait, this wouldn't have anything to do

They were gonna kill him.
How do you think Jorge's gonna react

Hey, yo. Yo, Chris.

Uh, I just left my headphones.
I'm gonna go grab 'em real quick,

Hey. Sorry about my mom.

For the record, she does

Well, I thought you

All a show.
She's in the middle of a divorce,

Dude, I got wait-listed,

Okay. Um, I thought you might be hungry.
Is that lumpia?

Okay, just stay here.
Don't say anything.
Uh, we're closed.
I'm looking for a Dr. De La Rosa.
I think she may have accidentally
taken off with something of mine.
Uh, well, Thony doesn't
work here anymore,
so I don't know anything about that.
You don't mind if we take a look around?
Actually, uh, actually, I do.
Um, I don't know who you are,

And as I said, we are closed. Okay?
Just the same, I think
we'll check in here.

So you were quite sick,

Are you my doctor?
Mm-hmm. You can call me Dr. Thony.
Will you stay till I fall asleep?
Yeah. Of course.
I remember telling you
to stay away from my patient.
THONY: Mm-hmm. You did.
I didn't.
I'm sure they welcomed
you from France, right?
But for me, they laughed.
They made me the help.
So, yes, I made a deal
with someone who could
help me do my job again.
Did you have any other choice
than to make the deal?
What do you think?
Then do what you must.
Because while you
can use some finesse
you're an adequate doctor.
[WHISPERS] Oh, my goodness.

Did Podesky tell you
everything you need to know?
Yeah. You page, I show up.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Get out. I'll check your stitches.
I'll do it.
Have you visited your

I've been busy recovering.
- Uh-huh.
- [WINCES]
And the last thing we want
is for her to get restless.
That's okay.
I'm not convinced she
isn't behind the hit on me.
I know, but if she loses you,
she loses the cartel and her power.
So
I'll visit her today.
You should get inside.
Your contact is Melissa,
the chief administrator.
She'll take care of everything.
Oh, one more thing.
It's yours.
This?
I need you available
when you're paged 24/7.
Sharing the family
van with your sister
wasn't gonna cut it.
Vamonos!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
MELISSA: Hope you
don't scare easy, Doctor.
This place is a bit of a wild card.
A haven for no-pay
patients, wasted tourists,
and the occasional D-list celebrity
who didn't want to go
to the fancy hospital
because of the object
stuck in his rectum.
Always a fun time here at Dub-Vee-Cee.
- Sounds like it.
- Dr. DuPont
this is Dr. Thony De
La Rosa, our new intern.
Hello.
[FRENCH ACCENT] Ahh, the
one that bought her way in here.
Nice to meet you, Dr. DuPont.
Fab. Please don't kill each other.
Quel bordel.
Fine. Let's go.
I'm told you have some experience.
I spent most of my career as
a thoracic surgeon in Manila.
That's very impressive for you.
We have electronic files,
but the system is slow
and it breaks down daily.
So get used to hand-writing your notes
and always place the file in
the hands of a human being.
I'm the only attending,
and you are my only intern,
so I don't have time to babysit.
You have to be quick and precise.
If you can't give a
diagnosis in two minutes,
this is not the place for you.
Two minutes is a luxury where I'm from.
Why would an experienced surgeon
like you choose this place?
As you can see, we are ill-equipped,
unorganized and underfunded.
Some days, even unsanitary.
Well, the people who have no choice
but to come here need
doctors like me then.
That ego won't serve you here.
It seems to serve you just fine.
In that case, you can
take the patient in bed 2.
He's been constipated for weeks.
How long have you been constipated?
Hello. I'm Dr. De La Rosa.
And you are?
Monsieur Trevinthan?
Okay.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Dios mio. Do you have any idea
what you put me through?
I heard you were shot.
You burned an FBI agent alive.
No more stunts like that. Me oyes?
And Thony is off limits.
She's Sin Cara now.
Yeah, I heard. [CHUCKLES]
Clever little mouse.
I'm only here because she asked me to.
So [SPEAKS SPANISH]
To keep you safe.
This mining project of
yours is putting a target
on your back with our associates.
Is that who you think tried to kill me?
Our partners?
You don't know who it was yet?
Whoever was responsible
should be dead by now, Jorge.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
No, no, no, no, hermano.
You don't.
You're showing them dreams
when they need to see strength.
- Money is strength.

This is why you need me.
I can help you run my cartel.

Wait, wait.
This is our new account?
Mm-hmm.
Mom, I cannot clean this place,
out of all places of Vegas.
Why? I mean, this is our
community, your childhood.
I mean, the people helped
us a lot when we were here.
Mom, the people are not the problem.
It's one woman who's the problem.
Ooh. I I don't know
who you're talking about.
Mom, do not play this
game with me right now.
You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Okay. She She
literally humiliated you.
She tried to turn everyone against us
for being undocumented.
Anak. We have no choice.
Okay? We need work.
Just please.
I can do this.
Okay.
Oh, my God, look at this place.
I mean, when we came here,
there was nothing but, you know,
peanut butter and boogers on the walls.
Is that Fiona and Chris De La Rosa?
Oh, my God, Rose,
it's so nice to see you.
It's so nice to see you, too.
We've all been waiting
for the day when our
wayward ate and pamangkin
make their way back here.
Oh, really? Have you?
Um, the place looks a-amazing.
Oh. Thank you. I took over as director
last year as an act of
service to my community.
Of course, but it took a lot
of elbow grease to
get it to look this nice.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
And Chris. My gosh.
You've gotten so
handsome, even with that hair.
It made me so sad that
you and Ted had lost touch.
Nothing made me happier
than to see you boys dance. Ted!
Oh, no. You don't have to call him back.
- You remember Fiona and Chris De La Rosa.
- FIONA: Hi.
Hey, man.
- What's up?
- What's up, man?
Ted is taking a year
off to be in service
for our community before
he goes to Cornell next year.

Well, we should start cleaning.
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yes. Make this place sparkle.
Sparkle. Yes.

I have a long laundry list
of grievances with you.

introduce yourself.
And as a Mexicana in my prison,
that's already a problem.
Then one of my best
customers ends up dead
after my crew saw you talking to her.
Third strike the phone.
And I don't remember
giving you permission
for that kind of contraband.
I can't let any of this disrespect
go unpunished, carino.

Or a chopper.
You can airlift me out of here.
All else fails, we use napalm.

We all did.
Benny, I wish I could help you,
but I really can't.
I'm sorry, I can't.
Sure.
Sorry.
I'll come back tomorrow
to give him more antibiotics.
As long as he's conscious,

You might be the boss here,

I'll be back tomorrow.
Till then, you leave him alone.
Okay. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
MAN: Sir, you have a visitor.
Miss Heller.
Call me Hunter.
Wow.
They did not tell me
you were so handsome.
Please take a seat.
Let's just get right to it, shall we?
I don't want to do that
thing where we pretend
we don't know of each
other and our families.
To our families.
Now, you want to use the access road
through my father's
land to transport materials
to and from your
proposed rare-earth mine.
And I'm offering a very
generous percentage
for the use of said road.
My family would be
very happy to do business
with you for 75% of your profits.
You have a sense of humor.
Your other option
would be to sell the land
you've already
purchased to me right now.
Okay. $13 billion.
That's the estimated value
of the rare-earth metals in my land.
But I'm sure you already knew that.
You know, most people
think that Nevada was
built by mobsters and
casinos and tourism,
but they're wrong. It
was built on mining.
When my great great
grandfather came out here,
he had nothing but a
dirty spoon to dig with.
And when he struck gold,
he planted a flag in the Heller name.
We've been pulling precious metals
out of the ground ever since.
My family built Nevada, Jorge.
Trust me, you don't want
to get into mining without us.
It's a dirty business.
Trust me.
You don't know dirty.
- 60% of your profits.
- [SIGHS]
You do know I have other options.
My land also borders
with the Paiute reservation.
Right. Because the
Paiutes react so warmly
to capitalists trying to
bulldoze their sacred land.

me out. Hear me out.
Do you have any, um,
matches or a lighter?
I'm not gonna let you
set this place on fire.
No, no, no, that's
that's not the plan, I swear.
I have a family.
I I can't help you. I am so sorry.
I have a family, too.

[SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]
Another dead man.
They're not gonna just kill him, right?
Eventually, they kill all of us.
As soon as we stop making the money.
I know you can't save everyone,
but shouldn't helping
one person be worth it?
Okay, they won't know I helped you?
And you're not gonna hurt anyone?
They'll have no idea.
And probably not.
RAMONA: So now you need my help.
Much of what you said is true.
I am sad, many nights alone in my cell.
And Lord knows I'm getting old.
But let me give you
a piece of advice, little brother.
Never, ever use the word "crazy"
to dismiss a woman.
Do you understand?
It was a mistake.
I made a mistake when I betrayed you.
When Vanessa died,
you were the only thing holding me up.
My only family.
Darling, my reasons
for what I did remain true.
I wanted to put you behind bars
to make you strong.
Our associates, they do not fear you.
I know.
We can change that.
Alone, neither of us
can control Sin Cara.
- But together
- I'll work with you, Ramona.
But remember something.
If I get word of your identity out,
you won't last another night in here.
You betray me again
I'll let them rip you apart.
Do you understand?
There's the strength
I've been waiting to see.
I'll find out what Wovoka really wants.
But first, we need to repair your image.
A Sin Cara leader
cannot sustain an attack
on his life without retribution.
To that end
I got you a name.

- Hi!
- [SCREAMS]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
What are you doing in my car? Get out!
Uh, please go.
That's not what we agreed on.
I'll die in the desert
if I'm out there alone.
That's why they chose this place.
I gave you what you needed, okay?
- I can't I can't do more.
- Doctor.
Some people are born great,
and others have
greatness thrust upon me.
Do not quote movies at me!
Okay. I'm sorry. Um
Okay. Look. I chose
you because you cared.
[SIGHS]
No one who sees us in there cares.
[SIGHS]
All you have to do is drive away
and you'll save my life.
[SIGHS]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Please.
Be right back. I think
I left my headphones
at the community center,
so I'm gonna go grab them.
Wait, are you sure you
want to go back there?
I mean, hey, I can buy you new ones.
Right. Like we have the money for that.
Chris, I'm I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't charge
Rose after we worked all day.
I mean, we need the money,
but I just I just
couldn't take one more
second of her smug attitude, you know?
I mean, the look on her face
- was worth it.
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
- Ah!
- Okay. Go ahead.
- Hey.
- Don't burn them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um
Hey, I need your, uh,
recipe for sweet and sour.
Okay, Fi. One second.
Okay. TV. Okay. You good?
Okay. So, just to give you the heads-up,
we have a guest in the warehouse.
Wait, this wouldn't have anything to do
with that underground-scammer
thing, would it?
They were gonna kill him.
How do you think Jorge's gonna react
when he finds out that you've
taken one of his prisoners?
He's not gonna find out.
Are Are you coming home now?
Uh I have to go
to the hospital first.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One second, guys.
Hey, yo. Yo, Chris.
What's up, bro? What are you doing here?
Uh, I just left my headphones.
I'm gonna go grab 'em real quick,
and then I'll be gone for good.
Hey. Sorry about my mom.
She turns judgment into performance art.
For the record, she does
it because she's unhappy.
Well, I thought you
guys all had a perfect life.
All a show.
She's in the middle of a divorce,
and I'm not really going to Cornell.
Dude, I got wait-listed,
like, way down the list.
Damn.
Sorry to hear that.
Hey, do you want to head out with us?
You can ride shotgun.
Uh
Get your headphones later. Come on.
- Why not?
- Come on.
Alright, alright.
Hey, guys, this is Chris.
Hey, guys. Chris.

FENG: Are they all here?
One is missing, sir Benny.
Benny?
The one who was talking to the doctor.
The cleaning lady.

Hello?
[CLATTERING]
Wh
Uh, hello. You don't have to hide.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You must be Fiona.
- And you are
Uh, Benny. Like the Jets.
Okay. Um, I thought you might be hungry.
Is that lumpia?
Mm-hmm.
I've always said lumpia is
the most delicious egg rolls
in all of the Asian egg rolls.
- This is the best.
- Um, okay.
Well, I'll I'll bring more tomorrow.
Is there dipping sauce?
- [POUNDING ON DOOR]
- YENG: Open up!
- It's him.
- Open up!
Please. He can't find me.
Okay, just stay here.
Don't say anything.
Uh, we're closed.
I'm looking for a Dr. De La Rosa.
I think she may have accidentally
taken off with something of mine.
Uh, well, Thony doesn't
work here anymore,
so I don't know anything about that.
You don't mind if we take a look around?
Actually, uh, actually, I do.
Um, I don't know who you are,
and you have no right to be here.
And as I said, we are closed. Okay?
Just the same, I think
we'll check in here.
Uh
[SIGHS] Satisfied?
There are days where
I feel like I might die
from an overdose of satisfaction.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
This is not one of those days.
I'll leave you to your
cute little maid service.
[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
It is cute.
Just in case.
Um
[KNOCKS]
[BENNY KNOCKS IN RESPONSE]
Great lumpia. 10 out of 10.
Okay.
That's good.
It's Alie, right?
So you were quite sick,
but now you're gonna be just fine.
Are you my doctor?
Mm-hmm. You can call me Dr. Thony.
Will you stay till I fall asleep?
Yeah. Of course.
I remember telling you
to stay away from my patient.
THONY: Mm-hmm. You did.
I didn't.
I'm sure they welcomed
you from France, right?
But for me, they laughed.
They made me the help.
So, yes, I made a deal
with someone who could
help me do my job again.
Did you have any other choice
than to make the deal?
What do you think?
Then do what you must.
Because while you
can use some finesse
you're an adequate doctor.
[WHISPERS] Oh, my goodness.
[PAGER BUZZING]
It only took you 15 minutes to get here.
Timing is improving.
THONY: What's happening?
JORGE: Ramona found
the guy who tried to kill me.
I need you to keep him alive.
