The Cleaning Lady (2022) s04e05 Episode Script
Wrecking Ball
1
Previously on The Cleaning Lady
Joel Herrmann,
assistant district attorney.
- How can I help you?
- Feng, is he trustworthy?
I'm surprised Feng would turn on us.
There's another way. There's
another way. Marry me.
You're just like all the
others. You stole from me.
JORGE: I can't confirm that
Feng ordered the hit on me.
You take him out anyway.
Either way, you set an
example that they need to see.
If we get married, we can't
testify against each other.
And without that, then
the DA's case falls apart.
It's a business arrangement.
Let's move fast. Okay?
[BUZZER]
Isabella, y Emilia son chismosos.
[INDISTINCT TALKING]
Don't listen to them.
They want to want to know
everything about everybody.
Estrella, go away.
No es que me importe, pero
I just needed to tell you.
I said go!
Todos ustedes!
[CLANGING]
Lights out, ladies! Wrap it up.
MAN: Lights out! Let's go!
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
OFFICER: Move it!
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER CONTINUES]
[GRUNTING]
[GRUNTING]
[TASER CRACKLING]
[GRUNTING]
Who are you?
It doesn't matter. We know who you are.
Then you know I'm an
innocent woman waiting for trial.
Aaaah!
Innocent?
The head of Sin Cara?
Half the inmates here
lost family thanks to you.
How long do you think you'll survive
when they find out who you are?
You're confused.
We can work something out.
I have access to things. Drugs.
We can set up something
with one of my girls.
- Ohhh!
- Hold out your hand. Do it!
[GRUNTING]
$25 million wired this account.
You got 48 hours, or your secret's out.
[GASPS]
Lots of married couples
don't live together.
They just visit. You know,
keeps the mystery alive.
Our marriage needs to look real, Fi,
or I'll end up in prison.
Yeah, but I mean, for how long, Thony.
What, the prison or marriage?
Now you're joking?
[LAUGHS]
It's not funny. Come on.
You're moving in with a drug lord.
Look, Jorge and I will come up with
a plan to get out of this mess.
For now, this is how it needs to be.
Yeah, well, you don't
have to take everything.
It's just clothes.
Everything in this house is yours.
Thony, there's no yours and mine.
I mean, there's only ours.
God, marriage has changed you.
[LAUGHS]
It's Luca I'm Worried about.
He just doesn't understand why we have
to move to their home.
Neither do I, but I'll get used to it.
And so will he.
That's it. Our entire
lives in two suitcases.
[BAG ZIPS]
Veinticinco millones
to this account.
25 million?
Mm-hmm.
I don't have that.
All our resources
are tied into the mining project.
Y que?
I taught you taught you to keep
a special fund for bribes, for cuotas.
I did, and I'm using
that fund to persuade
the mining commissioner to
find me an operational license.
Those words mean nothing to me.
Without that license,
we forfeit our entire
investment in this mine.
All the money that our
associates entrusted to me.
And they'll reclaim
those losses with blood.
You know they will.
They'll butcher us
in front of each other.
Is that what you want?
You risked our lives for a dream.
It's not a dream, Ramona.
I'm at the finish line.
Someone's trying to stop
me from getting this license.
This is a move against me, not you.
What is la diferencia?
I won't survive a night
here if they find out who I am, Jorge.
I have other ways of protecting you.
I'll petition for a prison transfer.
But until then, just
do what you do best.
Survive. Entiendes?
GUARD: He's authorized. Open the gate.
[INDISTINCT TALKING]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Hi.
Hello. You remember Violeta.
Hi.
I guess it's welcome home.
Yes. Welcome home please.
I've set both of you
up in the guest house
like we talked about,
but we call it the
casita, right, Violeta?
Mm-hmm.
If this is our home, why
are we in the guest house?
Because it's cozier, my love.
Why don't you show Violeta
what you brought for her?
[JORGE SPEAKS SPANISH]
It's piko, Filipino hopscotch.
That's very thoughtful of you, Luca.
You know, outside on the patio is
the perfect place to play piko.
Why are there so many men with guns?
They keep us safe.
My mom keeps me safe.
You know, once you settle
in, you won't even notice them.
Mm-hmm.
Can we go back to Tita Fi's?
Do you remember what
we talked about, my love?
Yes, I do.
Can we give it a chance?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Why don't you go teach Violeta
how to play piko?
- Yeah?
- Okay.
All right.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[GRUNTS]
What was that, Sanchez?
I barely touched you, mija.
Keep up that attitude,
and you'll be on toilet duty.
As long as I don't have to
clean your mess, I'm good.
I know you're not trying
to check me, Sanchez.
That's the fastest way
to a week in solitary.
Yeah, what's your smart
mouth got say to that, huh?
I have no words.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTING]
[SHOUTING IN SPANISH]
GUARD: Sanchez!
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
Restricted to your
cell. Loss of privileges.
Do I know you?
She stays in gen pop.
Like hell. You're going to solitary.
Enjoy your month in
the crazy maker, bitch.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
Ooh!
The transfer for the
mine needs to be done
by end of day tomorrow.
FENG: Not a problem. It's
already converted to crypto.
It's already with the tumbler,
shuffling with the coins,
breaking the links. It's a process.
Where are you, Feng?
We can't play around on this one.
It's under control, boss.
I'll have your funds
transferred just in time for
Jagerbombs at the Saloon
Door Casino happy hour, okay?
Care to join me?
Yeah. Just message me when you're done.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I think there's a couple
things we need to figure out.
Like, do I need to transfer
Luca to Violeta's school?
Also, I need house keys.
The staff has keys.
Someone's always home.
To hold the guns. Yeah.
How's Luca doing?
He remembers Violeta.
That helps. Do you guys
have a Cinnamon Crunch?
Is that a food?
His favorite cereal.
I can pick up a box tomorrow.
She hears everything.
She's like an elephant.
- Thank you. Greta.
- Thank you.
Uh, we'll sort out the
family details, I promise.
But we have a more pressing
matter to deal with first.
What is it?
Our new best friend.
Assistant district attorney Joel Herman.
What about him?
I faced that man in
court. He's a bloodhound.
He's going to stay on the
hunt and watch us closely.
Well, I live here, so it's fine.
That's just geography.
We need to sell it to the world now.
Joel's going to be at the grand
re-opening of the Desert
Colosseum tomorrow.
It's my big introduction to the
Vegas business community.
There are certain
expectations that someone who
was my wife would fulfill.
I'm not going to play
your arm candy. I'm sorry.
Thony, it's no secret that
we've gamed the system.
And we cannot give them cause
to prove this marriage fraudulent,
or one of us is going
to end up behind bars.
So we need to host
this event together as a
very happily married couple.
I don't have a lot of
experience in that field.
Well, I do, and I can help you.
- [SIGHS]
- Look, we just need to
tell people how we met,
how we came to have feelings,
how we broke up, and, you know,
realized it was a mistake, all of that.
Fine. Everyone loves
a love story, right?
We'll give them a good one.
[MAN SHOUTS IN DISTANCE, GUNSHOTS]
- What is it?
- Hey.
- Greta, just take her inside.
- What is it?
[SPEAKS SPANISH]
The coyote came on to the property.
The guards have
standing orders to shoot.
Well, can you tell
your guys that there are
new standing orders to
shoo the coyote maybe?
Not shoot it.
It's for their safety,
Thony. Everything's fine.
The kids are playing
here. It's not fine.
My My son isn't fine.
[LUCA HUMS]
Morning, my love.
[GROANS]
Good morning.
Did you crawl into my bed last night?
I had a bad dream.
What was it?
I dreamed I was a coyote.
You need to reduce the
number of guns around here.
I can't do that.
Jorge, I saw your face yesterday.
You looked as scared as I was.
What are you not telling me?
The cartel is finishing
a critical negotiation.
And if things don't go my
way, then they will turn on me
and my life and my
family's life will be forfeit.
Well, I'm your family
now. Me and my son.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
I would have never come here.
Oh, please. With the drama.
The drama? Are you kidding me?
Guns. Death threats.
This is not dramatic for you?
My daughter lives here, too.
- You think I would put her life in danger?
- I don't know.
Maybe your standards
are different than mine.
You mean lower? Because I do what I do,
I don't love my child as much as you do?
Just say it, Vanessa.
If this isn't good enough for you,
then the safe house is still an option.
[SIGHS] All I'm asking
is that I have a say in
how this house is run
while I'm here, that's all.
Fair enough.
Thank you.
The grand reopening starts in two hours.
We should get dressed.
Right. Can I go in my jeans?
It's either that or scrubs.
It's a formal event.
Follow me.
You'll need new clothes
for formal occasions,
and we don't have time to shop today,
so you'll have to wear
one of Vanessa's dresses.
I can't wear her clothes.
You need to look the part of my wife.
Well, this is what she looked like.
Uh, I don't think she would want that.
You have no idea what
Vanessa would want.
[SIGHS]
She didn't care about
any of this stuff anyway.
What did she care about?
Our family, our home.
I promised her I'd get
out, out of the cartel.
But it was harder than I thought,
and I kept putting it off,
and then before I knew it
Vanessa was gone.
Oh, one more thing.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- We have to wear rings.
People are going to
want to see the ring.
I it's not going to
fit. I have calluses.
The curse of being a
surgeon and a cleaning lady.
What do you know?
Just choose, um,
whichever dress you like.
[SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
[LOCK CLANGS, DOOR OPENS]
Well, you sure went to
a lot of trouble to get yourself
thrown in here, Sanchez.
It was no trouble, warden.
Your C.O. is an easy target.
Come at me again. See what happens.
Relax, Cronin.
Well, your attorney would seem to
agree that you belong here.
He submitted a request
for protective custody.
My brother cares deeply for me.
I won't be manipulated by anyone.
You're going back to gen
pop. Take her to her cell.
White roses.
I was told your wife loves them.
Maybe if I had a dozen
delivered to your home
in Summerlin, you
would change your mind.
You think you're the first inmate
to threaten me, Sanchez?
No.
But I will be the last.
Step outside.
- Sir.
- Leave us. Go!
Close the door.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Your men assaulted me,
made a threat against my life.
They are blackmailing
me for $25 million.
Slow down. I had no
Pendejadas!
I know your reputation.
You know everything that
happens inside these walls.
Your men would not act
without your authorization.
So you're gonna tell me why?
Or I will send a special
delivery to your wifey.
I had orders.
From people worse than you.
Put me in touch with them,
and I promise your wife
a lifetime of safety and white roses.
Boom, boom, something's going down ♪
Do you, do you hear the song? ♪
Do I look the part?
It'll do.
Mrs. Sanchez?
Yeah, I guess that's the idea.
It's just a dress, Greta.
I never said the kids could come.
- Well, I said they could.
- The reception is for adults.
Get them changed.
You said I had a say.
And when it comes down to
my son, I have the final say.
I'm not leaving him here
with your men and guns.
This is a high pressure event.
It's a rodeo with clowns.
We need to stay focused.
That's why Greta is here.
She's coming with us.
Look, our story would be
more convincing if we're not
just a happy couple, but a happy family.
Fine.
You look so good. So cute.
[PHONE RINGING]
JORGE: Feng, are we still on schedule
with the money transfer?
I'm on it, boss.
Like you said, end of day.
And you said happy hour.
I won't be happy
until that bribe is paid.
Message me when you're done.
Okay.
[COUGHING]
Mm-hmm.
[COUGHS]
[CLATTERING]
[GRUNTING]
Jialong?
[TEA KETTLE WHISTLING]
That side.
[GRUNTING]
[GUNSHOTS]
Ah!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GUNSHOTS]
[GUNSHOTS]
[GUN CLICKS]
[GRUNTING]
Aah!
[NECK SNAPS]
[GASPS]
Jialong?
[BELL DINGS]
I got my mind made up ♪
Councilwoman Reyes.
- Mr. Sanchez.
- You made it.
Thank you for coming.
Let me show you the
best seats in the house.
Okay. Thank you.
Take your feet off my bed ♪
You've done such an amazing job.
I was so happy to see you and JD.
Thank you for coming.
I know it was last minute.
Of course.
I mean, you know, I
would never miss a party,
let alone a rodeo.
Wow, look at you. I feel under-dressed.
Oh. Come on. You always look good.
Oh, I know I do. But
who is your stylist?
Vanessa Sanchez.
Wait, Jorge is dressing you
up to look like his dead wife?
Oh, that always ends badly on "20/20."
Stop it. It's just for today.
And then he's buying me a
new wardrobe to look the part.
Yeah, for a fake marriage,
perks seem very real.
Maybe I should get fake married.
Hey ♪
I don't care what my mom says ♪
- Wait.
- What's wrong?
Assistant District Attorney
just walked in the door.
Oh, okay. Well,
you're in. Go. Wife it up.
Joel is here.
I saw him. It's showtime.
ANNOUNCER: Welcome
to the Desert Coliseum!
- Put your hands together
- Mayor Solomon.
I'm so honored you could join us.
I'd love to introduce you to my wife,
Dr. Thony De La Rosa.
Mayor, my pleasure.
The pleasure is all mine, Thony.
So tell me. How'd you two kids meet?
Um, it started on a blind date.
[GASPS]
She's a talented surgeon.
You wouldn't believe what
she can do with a blade.
[WHIRRING]
Oh, he has a way about him,
with his sweet words and gentle manner.
I'm going with them.
- In the car now!
- I'm leaving.
[GUNSHOT]
She would move heaven
and earth for her family.
I want to get them out alive.
I don't want to quit on them!
And that's your job, to find them.
You know what? We're done here.
Well, I knew he was the one after
our a romantic getaway in the desert.
MAN: Alpha, we got
ourselves some drug mules,
maybe coyotes.
She proposed to me.
And how could I say no?
Come on. There's another
way. There's another way.
Marry me.
Enjoy the rodeo.
ANNOUNCER: Get up on your feet.
Make the noise.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Let's hear it.
I think we're killing it out here.
As far as everyone's concerned,
we're madly in love.
- [PAGER BEEPING]
- Mm.
No, no, no, no, no. You put that away.
No. We have people to meet.
- We haven't spoken to the ADA yet.
- They page, I answer. You made the rules.
Well, now I'm making the exception.
- Hey, Eric. Good to see you.
- Hello.
Someone's hurt, maybe
dying, Jorge. I have to go.
I don't care. We need to show
people that we're a real couple.
You know what's real? I'm a doctor.
When someone needs help, I help.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. I don't want to do this.
Play along. I'm sorry.
Mr. Herman.
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
Oh, you know, honeymoon phase.
We're all over each other.
Yeah, yeah, I kind of
remember how that was. Yeah.
So would this be a good
time for the three of us
to have a little chat?
Well, I'm actually leaving.
The hospital just paged.
But Jorge can speak for both of us.
Well, surely they can
find a replacement.
Ah, you know the life of a doctor.
You'll get used to it. Good to see you.
Yeah.
[AIR HORN BLARES]
- She's so dedicated.
- Mm.
[LAUGHS]
You like 'em?
They're funny. Right? Clowns are funny.
Yeah, I guess.
They're mine.
- Wait. The clowns?
- Mm-hmm.
I provide a clown service
to rodeos across the country.
They wear the face paint.
I cashed the checks.
Oh, that must be nice.
Imagine waking up every
morning with money flowing
into your bank account
without raising a finger.
That's the power of passive income.
- Huh.
- What do you do for a living?
Oh, I clean up.
I clean up, I make
money left and right here.
I mean, I own my own
business. Look at me.
My kind of lady!
[BOTH LAUGH]
- I'm Charles.
- Hi, Charles.
- You can call me Chaz.
- Hey, Chaz.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm JD.
You can call me JD.
Say no more.
You ever want to learn
more about passive income
Mm-hmm.
watch my webinar.
Oh, thank you, Chaz.
Webinar.
Ah, thank you for saving me.
You kidding. You saved him.
- Hm?
- He's out of his league.
Tsk.
It's a shame your wife
has to miss the rodeo.
It was one of my
favorite things growing up.
You don't strike me
as a rodeo kind of guy.
This doesn't read rodeo to you?
I used to go with my cousin.
We'd cheer for the bull riders.
Oh, yeah. I'm partial
to the calf roping myself.
I love it when one
of those little doggies
makes a run for it.
Yeah, it takes a lot of
skill to pull them back in.
Oh, yeah. And patience.
The cowboy has to
wait for the calf to
think he's gotten away.
But once that little sucker
thinks he's free, he's a goner.
Hog tied before he knows what hit him.
That's why I prefer the bull riders.
Because the bull
always comes out on top.
That he does, that he does.
Until the rodeo is over, of course.
Then he ends up back in the cage
like all the other beasts.
Oh, look at that.
A friend of mine just arrived.
- Oh.
- Please keep enjoying yourself.
Thank you.
I just received an
unsettling phone call.
The bribe to secure the mining license
hasn't been received.
Feng said he had it handled.
You promised our associates
easy wealth, sobrino.
If those funds don't go through today
broken promises lead to spilled blood.
Hey, Padrino, I'm well aware.
- Thanks for the warning.
- You're welcome.
[CELLPHONE BEEPS]
[LINE RINGING]
Feng. What's the delay?
That's what I'm wondering.
I paged the doctor a half hour ago.
I was attacked. One of my men is down.
Well, your man is not a priority here.
This is cartel business.
You make that transfer now.
I'm sorry you feel that
way about my people.
But I take care of my own.
My hands are tied
until El Médico arrives.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
THONY: What the heck?
FENG: This way. Come on!
I don't feel any broken bones.
[GROANS LIGHTLY]
No skull fracture, but
I can't be sure without imaging.
This tattoo looks infected.
When did he get this?
A few days ago.
He needs a hospital
for further evaluation.
No, no, no. Jialong is better off here.
Just do what you can for him.
[JIALONG GROANS]
All right. Um
I'm gonna give him
antibiotics for the infection,
but he needs stitches
for his head wound.
Can you turn around, please?
I'm gonna give you
something to numb the pain.
[JIALONG GROANS]
You gonna put this on your report, Doc?
Um, I believe it'd be a HIPAA violation.
And it's nobody's concern, anyway.
But it makes your work more challenging.
It would if they knew.
They target guys like me first.
They think we're easy
prey, assume we're soft.
I don't think you're soft.
I think you're a monster.
I saw how you beat those prisoners.
It is eat or be eaten in this sideshow.
But you already knew that.
Cleaning lady to cartel
doctor to now boss's wife.
I'm guessing Podesky isn't
the only body you left behind.
- I never intentionally hurt anybody.
- [LAUGHS]
Well, you're gonna have to
eventually get over that, Doc.
Because you can't truly protect
the people you love
with ethical boundaries.
Jialong is my family,
and I'll become whatever
I need to be to protect him.
I'm not gonna become a monster.
That's what I said, too.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Oh, I'm pleased you enjoyed yourself.
You and the wife put on
a great show, that's a fact.
But it's gonna take more
than a rodeo and jazz hands
to sidestep a murder charge.
If you want to bring
charges against us, bring it.
And risk getting the case thrown out?
No, no, no, no, no.
There's no statute of
limitations on murder.
Sooner or later, one
of you will slip up.
Night.
All right. That should do it.
Uh, he can go to bed.
I'll leave some pain
medication before I go.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
- Yeah?
- JORGE: You with Feng?
Put him on.
He's got his hands full
right now. One second.
Thony, do you remember that negotiation
I told you about?
Well, our safety depends on Feng
making a money transfer right now.
Okay, okay. Y You got it.
I'll make sure he does it.
Hey, what's wrong? What's wrong?
Thony Hello?
He needs to go to a hospital.
Why?!
To find out what's
causing this complication.
Jialong isn't safe at a hospital.
He's a political dissident.
If he gets deported back to China,
he's gonna die in a prison camp.
He's gonna die here if I don't take him
to my hospital right now.
Once we get there, you
need to transfer the money.
No. I can't.
Oh, you're gonna do it,
because my family's
life depends on this.
You don't understand. I literally can't.
Jialong is the hacker.
He's the one who
moves the money, not me.
- Okay?
- [JIALONG GROANS]
If the cartel turns on Jorge,
you're in danger, too.
Just take him to my hospital.
Come on, let's go!
Okay. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Sandra. Possible spinal trauma.
Keep the C-spine stabilized, okay?
We're going to triage.
Thony, what are you doing here?
Uh, my friend had a
bad fall. Head trauma.
I need an IV drip,
full blood panel, C
scan, head and chest.
NURSE: Push the slide board
to the bed. Follow my lead.
He already started treatment.
How long since the fall?
- THONY: Um
- About five hours.
- Yeah.
- You delayed hospitalization
for a patient with head trauma?
Uh, look, Dr. DuPont,
I will accept your
lecture any other time.
But right now, I need
to treat this patient.
[LOCK RATTLES, DOOR OPENS]
Let's go, Sanchez.
- Where to?
- Warden's office.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
I assume you failed to take out Feng,
or you wouldn't be here.
You didn't warn me
that your money man had combat skills.
I told you where to find him.
I fulfilled my part of the deal.
Now call off the threat against me.
I won't do that.
Our agreement was
for you to stop the bribe.
Put your brother out
of the mining business.
You can still make it up to me.
Just tell me where Feng went.
Do I look like a mind reader?
I'm sorry our collaboration
wasn't more productive.
The C.O. will show
you back to your cell.
Tranquilo, tigre.
I want Sin Cara out
of the mining business
as much as you do.
I promised to support my brother,
but his dreams are going to kill us all.
I can get you what you want,
but there's only so much I can do
from behind these walls.
What exactly did you have in mind?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
CT negative for cranial bleeding.
Blood pressure 80 over 40.
Rules out epidural hematoma.
He's got a minor fluid
buildup in his lungs.
But his blood panels are negative
for bacterial and viral infection.
His immunoglobulin levels are high.
Maybe he's having an immune reaction.
But none of this is
consistent with head trauma.
Isn't that a small
perforation in his lung?
The fluid could it be tattoo ink?
One way to find out.
Drain the fluid and test it for ink.
If it's positive, administer IV fluids
to flush his system and get him started
on epinephrine and corticosteroids.
Okay.
[INDISTINCT PAGES OVER P.A.]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me!
What are you doing? Can I help you?
WOMAN: We need security.
- What's this about? This is a hospital!
- Where is he?
I will take you to him, but
you tell them to get out.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Please, Jorge, listen to me.
Take out your phone and
make the transfer right now.
The money doesn't
move until Jialong does.
Is he worth dying for?
Please tell him. Tell him the truth.
I can't make the transfer.
I don't know how. Jialong is the expert.
What, this guy?
Mm-hmm.
He's been moving cartel money
this whole time without my knowledge?
If you knew what he could do,
you would have taken him for your own.
- I protected him.
- I trusted you, Feng.
- I trusted you, not him!
- Jorge, please!
If we don't get this deal for
the mine, we lose everything.
This happened because someone wanted
to stop your bribe.
Think!
Jorge, listen to me.
I'm gonna call a code silver now
if you don't drop this gun.
Active shooter on the premises.
I'm gonna do it.
Jorge!
The mine is not gonna bring her back.
This is not how you honor Vanessa.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Okay. Now, both of you.
You trust me, all right?
I know what's wrong with Jialong.
I'm gonna fix this,
but I need to treat him now.
Out.
Both of you. Now!
THONY: It wasn't head trauma.
It's the ink from his tattoo
that leaked into his lungs.
And if anything, the attack
may have saved his life
by bringing him here.
I'm more interested in our lives.
Wake him up. Whatever it takes.
[GROANS LIGHTLY]
Jialong, feeling okay?
You're in the hospital.
THONY: I'm gonna put him up, okay?
THONY: Here. Sit up.
Okay.
It'll get done.
Okay.
It's gonna be quick.
- Must have fallen asleep.
- Mm.
Probably all that champagne.
Oh, boy. How was the webinar?
- [SCOFFS]
- Learn anything?
Huh! Sure did.
I learned the 10 steps to building
a passive-income franchise.
You don't look too happy about it.
[SCOFFS] Step seven
A successful franchise requires
financial resources and stability.
I I can't even meet
my weekly payroll.
What you need is an angel investor.
I can take a little out of my 401(k).
You're a good guy, JD.
I have a better idea.
I figured out how you could
make some passive income.
Mm-hmm. What if we move into your place?
Chris, Jaz, me.
I'll I'll pay half the rent.
[CHUCKLES]
A Are you sure?
My apartment's gonna be a little tight
- with the four of us living there.
- No, I'm good with that.
This house I love it.
[LAUGHS]
But, I mean,
it feels so empty right now.
Thony and Luca are gone.
Chris and Jaz are close behind.
And I'm ready to move
forward with you, too.
What do you say?
I already said it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We'll observe your patient overnight.
If he's stable, he can be
discharged in the morning.
Okay. Thank you, Dr. DuPont.
I appreciate it. I'll let him know.
Thony, I've let my
questions go in the past,
but you have to give me some answers.
Why didn't you call a code silver?
It's basic protocol when you see a gun.
I had it under control.
- Under control?
- Yeah.
Are they really your friends?
Because it didn't look like it to me.
I am trying to help you,
but you have to trust me.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
Okay.
They're actually my
my husband's colleagues.
Your husband?
He was the code silver.
I don't know your husband's business,
and I don't want to.
But when his colleagues are discharged,
I don't want to see those
men in this hospital again.
Your husband included.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[LAUGHTER]
So, you liked the rodeo, huh? Yes?
Yes. Tita Fi got me cotton candy.
- She did?
- My fingers were all sticky.
Oh, really? I can tell.
[CLEARS THROAT]
So, I'm sorry I left you there.
But I'm so happy we're both home now.
Why do you keep saying that?
This isn't our home.
[SIGHS] Okay, my love.
So, do you remember
when we lived in Manila?
Yeah? Well, that was our home.
Then we went to Vegas.
- From a plane.
- From a plane. Yes.
And lived with Tita Fi.
And that was our second home.
Number two. Yes.
And then we came here,
and now we're living
with Jorge and Violeta.
All right, and this is home
again 'cause you and I,
we're together here.
Okay, my love?
- Okay.
- All right.
Scoot over, now. I
need to sleep as well.
I can sleep alone tonight.
Oh, yeah? Can you now?
You're a big boy? Yeah?
But keep the door open.
All right. No problem.
So I'm not that much of a big boy.
Yes, you are.
But I'm here if you need me, okay?
Good night.
You know, Luca, there's
a prize in every cereal box.
See if you can dig it out.
What's in there?
Mm!
What the heck?
I think that's for your mom.
You should give it to her.
Put it on her finger.
This one.
That's from you.
Because you'll always be
first in your mom's heart,
no matter who she marries.
Where's my ring, Daddy?
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I'll get it, Greta.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Ramona? How'd you get out?
[SIGHS] Bueno.
[SCOFFS]
Qué sorpresa.
- Hola.
- Hola.
My case was reassigned to a new judge.
He granted bail.
Now I just need to find a place to stay.
You have room for your sister?
The door is always open for family.
Previously on The Cleaning Lady
Joel Herrmann,
assistant district attorney.
- How can I help you?
- Feng, is he trustworthy?
I'm surprised Feng would turn on us.
There's another way. There's
another way. Marry me.
You're just like all the
others. You stole from me.
JORGE: I can't confirm that
Feng ordered the hit on me.
You take him out anyway.
Either way, you set an
example that they need to see.
If we get married, we can't
testify against each other.
And without that, then
the DA's case falls apart.
It's a business arrangement.
Let's move fast. Okay?
[BUZZER]
Isabella, y Emilia son chismosos.
[INDISTINCT TALKING]
Don't listen to them.
They want to want to know

It doesn't matter. We know who you are.

Aaaah!
Innocent?
The head of Sin Cara?
Half the inmates here
lost family thanks to you.
How long do you think you'll survive
when they find out who you are?
You're confused.
We can work something out.
I have access to things. Drugs.
We can set up something
with one of my girls.
- Ohhh!
- Hold out your hand. Do it!
[GRUNTING]
$25 million wired this account.
You got 48 hours, or your secret's out.

Lots of married couples
don't live together.
They just visit. You know,
keeps the mystery alive.
Our marriage needs to look real, Fi,
or I'll end up in prison.
Yeah, but I mean, for how long, Thony.
What, the prison or marriage?
Now you're joking?
[LAUGHS]
It's not funny. Come on.
You're moving in with a drug lord.
Look, Jorge and I will come up with
a plan to get out of this mess.
For now, this is how it needs to be.
Yeah, well, you don't
have to take everything.
It's just clothes.
Everything in this house is yours.
Thony, there's no yours and mine.
I mean, there's only ours.
God, marriage has changed you.
[LAUGHS]
It's Luca I'm Worried about.
He just doesn't understand why we have
to move to their home.
Neither do I, but I'll get used to it.
And so will he.
That's it. Our entire
lives in two suitcases.
[BAG ZIPS]
Veinticinco millones
to this account.
25 million?
Mm-hmm.
I don't have that.
All our resources
are tied into the mining project.
Y que?
I taught you taught you to keep
a special fund for bribes, for cuotas.
I did, and I'm using
that fund to persuade
the mining commissioner to
find me an operational license.
Those words mean nothing to me.
Without that license,
we forfeit our entire
investment in this mine.
All the money that our
associates entrusted to me.
And they'll reclaim
those losses with blood.
You know they will.
They'll butcher us
in front of each other.
Is that what you want?
You risked our lives for a dream.
It's not a dream, Ramona.
I'm at the finish line.
Someone's trying to stop
me from getting this license.
This is a move against me, not you.
What is la diferencia?
I won't survive a night
here if they find out who I am, Jorge.
I have other ways of protecting you.
I'll petition for a prison transfer.
But until then, just
do what you do best.
Survive. Entiendes?

Hi.

Hi.
I guess it's welcome home.
Yes. Welcome home please.
I've set both of you

but we call it the
casita, right, Violeta?
Mm-hmm.
If this is our home, why
are we in the guest house?
Because it's cozier, my love.
Why don't you show Violeta
what you brought for her?
[JORGE SPEAKS SPANISH]
It's piko, Filipino hopscotch.
That's very thoughtful of you, Luca.
You know, outside on the patio is
the perfect place to play piko.
Why are there so many men with guns?
They keep us safe.
My mom keeps me safe.
You know, once you settle
in, you won't even notice them.
Mm-hmm.
Can we go back to Tita Fi's?
Do you remember what
we talked about, my love?
Yes, I do.
Can we give it a chance?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Why don't you go teach Violeta
how to play piko?
- Yeah?
- Okay.
All right.

Ooh!
The transfer for the

by end of day tomorrow.
FENG: Not a problem. It's
already converted to crypto.
It's already with the tumbler,
shuffling with the coins,
breaking the links. It's a process.
Where are you, Feng?
We can't play around on this one.
It's under control, boss.
I'll have your funds
transferred just in time for
Jagerbombs at the Saloon
Door Casino happy hour, okay?
Care to join me?
Yeah. Just message me when you're done.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I think there's a couple
things we need to figure out.
Like, do I need to transfer
Luca to Violeta's school?
Also, I need house keys.
The staff has keys.
Someone's always home.
To hold the guns. Yeah.
How's Luca doing?
He remembers Violeta.
That helps. Do you guys
have a Cinnamon Crunch?
Is that a food?
His favorite cereal.
I can pick up a box tomorrow.
She hears everything.
She's like an elephant.
- Thank you. Greta.
- Thank you.
Uh, we'll sort out the
family details, I promise.
But we have a more pressing
matter to deal with first.
What is it?
Our new best friend.
Assistant district attorney Joel Herman.
What about him?
I faced that man in
court. He's a bloodhound.
He's going to stay on the
hunt and watch us closely.
Well, I live here, so it's fine.
That's just geography.
We need to sell it to the world now.
Joel's going to be at the grand
re-opening of the Desert
Colosseum tomorrow.
It's my big introduction to the
Vegas business community.
There are certain
expectations that someone who
was my wife would fulfill.
I'm not going to play
your arm candy. I'm sorry.
Thony, it's no secret that
we've gamed the system.
And we cannot give them cause
to prove this marriage fraudulent,
or one of us is going
to end up behind bars.
So we need to host
this event together as a
very happily married couple.
I don't have a lot of
experience in that field.
Well, I do, and I can help you.
- [SIGHS]
- Look, we just need to
tell people how we met,
how we came to have feelings,
how we broke up, and, you know,
realized it was a mistake, all of that.
Fine. Everyone loves
a love story, right?
We'll give them a good one.
[MAN SHOUTS IN DISTANCE, GUNSHOTS]
- What is it?
- Hey.
- Greta, just take her inside.
- What is it?
[SPEAKS SPANISH]
The coyote came on to the property.
The guards have
standing orders to shoot.
Well, can you tell
your guys that there are
new standing orders to
shoo the coyote maybe?
Not shoot it.
It's for their safety,
Thony. Everything's fine.
The kids are playing
here. It's not fine.
My My son isn't fine.
[LUCA HUMS]
Morning, my love.
[GROANS]
Good morning.
Did you crawl into my bed last night?
I had a bad dream.
What was it?
I dreamed I was a coyote.
You need to reduce the
number of guns around here.
I can't do that.
Jorge, I saw your face yesterday.
You looked as scared as I was.
What are you not telling me?
The cartel is finishing
a critical negotiation.
And if things don't go my
way, then they will turn on me
and my life and my
family's life will be forfeit.
Well, I'm your family
now. Me and my son.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
I would have never come here.
Oh, please. With the drama.
The drama? Are you kidding me?
Guns. Death threats.
This is not dramatic for you?
My daughter lives here, too.
- You think I would put her life in danger?
- I don't know.
Maybe your standards
are different than mine.
You mean lower? Because I do what I do,
I don't love my child as much as you do?
Just say it, Vanessa.
If this isn't good enough for you,
then the safe house is still an option.
[SIGHS] All I'm asking
is that I have a say in
how this house is run
while I'm here, that's all.
Fair enough.
Thank you.
The grand reopening starts in two hours.
We should get dressed.
Right. Can I go in my jeans?
It's either that or scrubs.
It's a formal event.
Follow me.
You'll need new clothes
for formal occasions,
and we don't have time to shop today,
so you'll have to wear
one of Vanessa's dresses.
I can't wear her clothes.
You need to look the part of my wife.
Well, this is what she looked like.
Uh, I don't think she would want that.
You have no idea what
Vanessa would want.
[SIGHS]
She didn't care about
any of this stuff anyway.
What did she care about?
Our family, our home.
I promised her I'd get
out, out of the cartel.
But it was harder than I thought,
and I kept putting it off,
and then before I knew it
Vanessa was gone.
Oh, one more thing.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- We have to wear rings.
People are going to
want to see the ring.
I it's not going to
fit. I have calluses.
The curse of being a
surgeon and a cleaning lady.
What do you know?
Just choose, um,
whichever dress you like.
[SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
[LOCK CLANGS, DOOR OPENS]
Well, you sure went to
a lot of trouble to get yourself
thrown in here, Sanchez.
It was no trouble, warden.
Your C.O. is an easy target.
Come at me again. See what happens.
Relax, Cronin.
Well, your attorney would seem to
agree that you belong here.
He submitted a request
for protective custody.
My brother cares deeply for me.
I won't be manipulated by anyone.
You're going back to gen
pop. Take her to her cell.
White roses.
I was told your wife loves them.
Maybe if I had a dozen
delivered to your home
in Summerlin, you
would change your mind.
You think you're the first inmate
to threaten me, Sanchez?
No.
But I will be the last.
Step outside.
- Sir.
- Leave us. Go!
Close the door.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Your men assaulted me,
made a threat against my life.
They are blackmailing
me for $25 million.
Slow down. I had no
Pendejadas!
I know your reputation.
You know everything that
happens inside these walls.
Your men would not act
without your authorization.
So you're gonna tell me why?
Or I will send a special
delivery to your wifey.
I had orders.
From people worse than you.
Put me in touch with them,
and I promise your wife
a lifetime of safety and white roses.
Boom, boom, something's going down ♪
Do you, do you hear the song? ♪
Do I look the part?
It'll do.
Mrs. Sanchez?
Yeah, I guess that's the idea.
It's just a dress, Greta.
I never said the kids could come.
- Well, I said they could.
- The reception is for adults.
Get them changed.
You said I had a say.
And when it comes down to
my son, I have the final say.
I'm not leaving him here
with your men and guns.
This is a high pressure event.
It's a rodeo with clowns.
We need to stay focused.
That's why Greta is here.
She's coming with us.
Look, our story would be
more convincing if we're not
just a happy couple, but a happy family.
Fine.
You look so good. So cute.

I don't care. We need to show

They wear the face paint.
I cashed the checks.
Oh, that must be nice.

- He's out of his league.
Tsk.
It's a shame your wife
has to miss the rodeo.
It was one of my
favorite things growing up.
You don't strike me
as a rodeo kind of guy.
This doesn't read rodeo to you?
I used to go with my cousin.
We'd cheer for the bull riders.
Oh, yeah. I'm partial
to the calf roping myself.
I love it when one
of those little doggies
makes a run for it.
Yeah, it takes a lot of
skill to pull them back in.
Oh, yeah. And patience.
The cowboy has to
wait for the calf to
think he's gotten away.
But once that little sucker
thinks he's free, he's a goner.
Hog tied before he knows what hit him.
That's why I prefer the bull riders.
Because the bull
always comes out on top.
That he does, that he does.
Until the rodeo is over, of course.
Then he ends up back in the cage
like all the other beasts.
Oh, look at that.
A friend of mine just arrived.
- Oh.
- Please keep enjoying yourself.
Thank you.
I just received an
unsettling phone call.
The bribe to secure the mining license
hasn't been received.
Feng said he had it handled.
You promised our associates
easy wealth, sobrino.
If those funds don't go through today
broken promises lead to spilled blood.
Hey, Padrino, I'm well aware.
- Thanks for the warning.
- You're welcome.

This tattoo looks infected.
When did he get this?
A few days ago.
He needs a hospital
for further evaluation.
No, no, no. Jialong is better off here.
Just do what you can for him.
[JIALONG GROANS]
All right. Um
I'm gonna give him
antibiotics for the infection,
but he needs stitches
for his head wound.
Can you turn around, please?
I'm gonna give you
something to numb the pain.
[JIALONG GROANS]
You gonna put this on your report, Doc?
Um, I believe it'd be a HIPAA violation.
And it's nobody's concern, anyway.
But it makes your work more challenging.
It would if they knew.
They target guys like me first.
They think we're easy
prey, assume we're soft.
I don't think you're soft.
I think you're a monster.
I saw how you beat those prisoners.
It is eat or be eaten in this sideshow.
But you already knew that.
Cleaning lady to cartel
doctor to now boss's wife.
I'm guessing Podesky isn't
the only body you left behind.
- I never intentionally hurt anybody.
- [LAUGHS]
Well, you're gonna have to
eventually get over that, Doc.
Because you can't truly protect
the people you love
with ethical boundaries.
Jialong is my family,
and I'll become whatever
I need to be to protect him.
I'm not gonna become a monster.
That's what I said, too.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Oh, I'm pleased you enjoyed yourself.
You and the wife put on
a great show, that's a fact.
But it's gonna take more
than a rodeo and jazz hands
to sidestep a murder charge.
If you want to bring
charges against us, bring it.
And risk getting the case thrown out?
No, no, no, no, no.
There's no statute of
limitations on murder.
Sooner or later, one
of you will slip up.
Night.
All right. That should do it.
Uh, he can go to bed.
I'll leave some pain
medication before I go.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
- Yeah?
- JORGE: You with Feng?
Put him on.
He's got his hands full
right now. One second.
Thony, do you remember that negotiation
I told you about?
Well, our safety depends on Feng
making a money transfer right now.
Okay, okay. Y You got it.
I'll make sure he does it.
Hey, what's wrong? What's wrong?
Thony Hello?
He needs to go to a hospital.
Why?!
To find out what's
causing this complication.
Jialong isn't safe at a hospital.
He's a political dissident.
If he gets deported back to China,
he's gonna die in a prison camp.
He's gonna die here if I don't take him
to my hospital right now.
Once we get there, you
need to transfer the money.
No. I can't.
Oh, you're gonna do it,
because my family's
life depends on this.
You don't understand. I literally can't.
Jialong is the hacker.
He's the one who
moves the money, not me.
- Okay?
- [JIALONG GROANS]
If the cartel turns on Jorge,
you're in danger, too.
Just take him to my hospital.
Come on, let's go!
Okay. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Sandra. Possible spinal trauma.
Keep the C-spine stabilized, okay?
We're going to triage.
Thony, what are you doing here?
Uh, my friend had a
bad fall. Head trauma.
I need an IV drip,
full blood panel, C
scan, head and chest.
NURSE: Push the slide board
to the bed. Follow my lead.
He already started treatment.
How long since the fall?
- THONY: Um
- About five hours.
- Yeah.
- You delayed hospitalization
for a patient with head trauma?
Uh, look, Dr. DuPont,
I will accept your
lecture any other time.
But right now, I need
to treat this patient.
[LOCK RATTLES, DOOR OPENS]
Let's go, Sanchez.
- Where to?
- Warden's office.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
I assume you failed to take out Feng,
or you wouldn't be here.
You didn't warn me
that your money man had combat skills.
I told you where to find him.
I fulfilled my part of the deal.
Now call off the threat against me.
I won't do that.
Our agreement was
for you to stop the bribe.
Put your brother out
of the mining business.
You can still make it up to me.
Just tell me where Feng went.
Do I look like a mind reader?
I'm sorry our collaboration
wasn't more productive.
The C.O. will show
you back to your cell.
Tranquilo, tigre.
I want Sin Cara out
of the mining business
as much as you do.
I promised to support my brother,
but his dreams are going to kill us all.
I can get you what you want,
but there's only so much I can do
from behind these walls.
What exactly did you have in mind?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
CT negative for cranial bleeding.
Blood pressure 80 over 40.
Rules out epidural hematoma.
He's got a minor fluid
buildup in his lungs.
But his blood panels are negative
for bacterial and viral infection.
His immunoglobulin levels are high.
Maybe he's having an immune reaction.
But none of this is
consistent with head trauma.
Isn't that a small
perforation in his lung?
The fluid could it be tattoo ink?
One way to find out.
Drain the fluid and test it for ink.
If it's positive, administer IV fluids
to flush his system and get him started
on epinephrine and corticosteroids.
Okay.
[INDISTINCT PAGES OVER P.A.]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me!
What are you doing? Can I help you?
WOMAN: We need security.
- What's this about? This is a hospital!
- Where is he?
I will take you to him, but
you tell them to get out.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Please, Jorge, listen to me.
Take out your phone and
make the transfer right now.
The money doesn't
move until Jialong does.
Is he worth dying for?
Please tell him. Tell him the truth.
I can't make the transfer.
I don't know how. Jialong is the expert.
What, this guy?
Mm-hmm.
He's been moving cartel money
this whole time without my knowledge?
If you knew what he could do,
you would have taken him for your own.
- I protected him.
- I trusted you, Feng.
- I trusted you, not him!
- Jorge, please!
If we don't get this deal for
the mine, we lose everything.
This happened because someone wanted
to stop your bribe.
Think!
Jorge, listen to me.
I'm gonna call a code silver now
if you don't drop this gun.
Active shooter on the premises.
I'm gonna do it.
Jorge!
The mine is not gonna bring her back.
This is not how you honor Vanessa.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Okay. Now, both of you.
You trust me, all right?
I know what's wrong with Jialong.
I'm gonna fix this,
but I need to treat him now.
Out.
Both of you. Now!
THONY: It wasn't head trauma.
It's the ink from his tattoo
that leaked into his lungs.
And if anything, the attack
may have saved his life
by bringing him here.
I'm more interested in our lives.
Wake him up. Whatever it takes.
[GROANS LIGHTLY]
Jialong, feeling okay?
You're in the hospital.
THONY: I'm gonna put him up, okay?
THONY: Here. Sit up.
Okay.
It'll get done.
Okay.
It's gonna be quick.
- Must have fallen asleep.
- Mm.
Probably all that champagne.
Oh, boy. How was the webinar?
- [SCOFFS]
- Learn anything?
Huh! Sure did.
I learned the 10 steps to building
a passive-income franchise.
You don't look too happy about it.
[SCOFFS] Step seven
A successful franchise requires
financial resources and stability.
I I can't even meet
my weekly payroll.
What you need is an angel investor.
I can take a little out of my 401(k).
You're a good guy, JD.
I have a better idea.
I figured out how you could
make some passive income.
Mm-hmm. What if we move into your place?
Chris, Jaz, me.
I'll I'll pay half the rent.
[CHUCKLES]
A Are you sure?
My apartment's gonna be a little tight
- with the four of us living there.
- No, I'm good with that.
This house I love it.
[LAUGHS]
But, I mean,
it feels so empty right now.
Thony and Luca are gone.
Chris and Jaz are close behind.
And I'm ready to move
forward with you, too.
What do you say?
I already said it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We'll observe your patient overnight.
If he's stable, he can be
discharged in the morning.
Okay. Thank you, Dr. DuPont.
I appreciate it. I'll let him know.
Thony, I've let my
questions go in the past,
but you have to give me some answers.
Why didn't you call a code silver?
It's basic protocol when you see a gun.
I had it under control.
- Under control?
- Yeah.
Are they really your friends?
Because it didn't look like it to me.
I am trying to help you,
but you have to trust me.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
Okay.
They're actually my
my husband's colleagues.
Your husband?
He was the code silver.
I don't know your husband's business,
and I don't want to.
But when his colleagues are discharged,
I don't want to see those
men in this hospital again.
Your husband included.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[LAUGHTER]
So, you liked the rodeo, huh? Yes?
Yes. Tita Fi got me cotton candy.
- She did?
- My fingers were all sticky.
Oh, really? I can tell.
[CLEARS THROAT]
So, I'm sorry I left you there.
But I'm so happy we're both home now.
Why do you keep saying that?
This isn't our home.
[SIGHS] Okay, my love.
So, do you remember
when we lived in Manila?
Yeah? Well, that was our home.
Then we went to Vegas.
- From a plane.
- From a plane. Yes.
And lived with Tita Fi.
And that was our second home.
Number two. Yes.
And then we came here,
and now we're living
with Jorge and Violeta.
All right, and this is home
again 'cause you and I,
we're together here.
Okay, my love?
- Okay.
- All right.
Scoot over, now. I
need to sleep as well.
I can sleep alone tonight.
Oh, yeah? Can you now?
You're a big boy? Yeah?
But keep the door open.
All right. No problem.
So I'm not that much of a big boy.
Yes, you are.
But I'm here if you need me, okay?
Good night.
You know, Luca, there's
a prize in every cereal box.
See if you can dig it out.
What's in there?
Mm!
What the heck?
I think that's for your mom.
You should give it to her.
Put it on her finger.
This one.
That's from you.
Because you'll always be
first in your mom's heart,
no matter who she marries.
Where's my ring, Daddy?
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I'll get it, Greta.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Ramona? How'd you get out?
[SIGHS] Bueno.
[SCOFFS]
Qué sorpresa.
- Hola.
- Hola.
My case was reassigned to a new judge.
He granted bail.
Now I just need to find a place to stay.
You have room for your sister?
The door is always open for family.
