Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"...

I'm just a cleaning lady. Let me clean it for you.

Thank you for your loyalty.

I hope your son recovers soon.

I was a surgeon in Manila.

I came to this country to save my son.

Sin Cara?

She's out of control, Jorge.

I know. No, you don't.

She's setting you up.

She's gonna let you take the fall for everything.

Maybe we could take her down.

Asset is in position.

FBI! Freeze!

What kind of man turns his back on his own familia?

You were taking Violeta, hermana.

What did you expect me to do?

Ramona Sanchez, you are under arrest

for the first-degree murder of Nadia Morales.

Hey! We gotta go!

Oh!

It's gonna be okay. I promise.

Just text or call. Okay, but yes.

Since I'll be running things now,

there's a place for you if you want.

That's not the life I want.

What do you want?

I want to do things my way.

You're really good at this.

He's looking at us. Oh, my goodness.

De La Rosa.

Come on.

That's us! Oh, that's us!

Okay.

Immigration officer: When did you enter the U.S.?

Two years ago with my son, Luca.

Um, he was very sick, but he's better now.

What is your name?

Luca De La Rosa.

What are your plans for the future?

Well, I'm-- I'm moving to Los Angeles

'cause my-- my girlfriend is there right now, so...

Planning on regaining my career as a doctor.

I want to start to help people again.

I'm just very grateful to be in this country.

I love America.

Have you ever been involved in any criminal activities?

Límpiala ahorita!

That's my girl!

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

I like that red ribbon.

Looks like Snow White. Yeah?

Ven aquí.

I said come here.

Hola, bonita.

Mmm.

You even smell good.

What? You don't like my touch?

Hmm?

You will. I promise.

I don't know. Analyn, Analyn.

Uh, Carla, Reyna.

I am so sorry.

Uh, the envelopes are a little light.

Uh, we've lost, uh, an account.

Should we be worried? No, no, no, no, no, no.

We'll be fine. We'll be fine.

Thank you.

Hey, look, it's Russo.

Don't worry. I'm not here to confiscate your vehicle.

You confiscated our money. That was--

That was a gift from Nadia.

It was stolen money.

And now it's evidence in a murder trial.

What do you want?

Is it so crazy to think I just stopped by

to see how you're doing?

Yes. Yes.

So we haven't always been friends.

I'd like to change that.

As a result of assisting the FBI sting

at Ramona Sanchez's charity event last month,

I've received approval

from the Department of Homeland Security

to personally sponsor the entire De La Rosa family

for "S" visas.

W-What?

For-- For Luca, too?

Wait. And-- And Chris and-- and... me?

First round of interviews

at the Immigration Office downtown in two days.

It's a process, but I'm gonna make sure it happens.

You helped me put Ramona behind bars.

I owe you.

What the hell?

Oh, I could be a doctor again?

And-- And I'm gonna be a cleaning lady,

but-- but an American one!

Thank you.

How you doin' there, friendo?

You got nothing to worry about. Would you step out of the car?

Mm-hmm.

Come on, come on, yeah. It's all right.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

You deserve full recognition.

It's time for your American dream to come true, Thony.

We're gonna be American! Thank you!

Aah!

Come here! Come here. Aah!

Boss got a job for us.

We got a little lady to kill.

Order up! One batch of patriotic pancakes for a special day.

- Ooh. - Thank you, ma'am.

Jaz, go round 'em up.

Yeah.

Hey, breakfast is ready, everyone.

Luca? Pancakes are ready.

Why are you brushing your teeth before breakfast?

My teeth are fuzzy.

You're just gonna have to brush them again.

Why? It's just food.

Food's ready.

Could you knock, please?

- Hey, Camila. - Go, go!

Hey. Sorry. I-I gotta go now.

Necesito, uh, voy.

Buena suerte. Good luck... con tu visa.

Hey, when-- when can I, uh... when can I come visit you?

-Visita? - Yeah.

-Pronto. - Pronto. I like that.

Okay. I'll talk to you later, all right? Hasta pronto.

Come on, let's hurry up. We're gonna be late.

Mom, breakfast.

Oh, my God.

Okay, look, look, look, look, look, look, look.

Oh, what do you think? This is the one Nadia gave me.

What? Too much?

Way too much. How much? That rock is--

Don't-- That rock is huge.

I know. Don't touch it.

It's nice, but you're gonna keep this? Yes!

No blue ones for me.

Blue food dye causes brain cancer in rats.

Good thing we're not rats.

Hey, Mom, can I go to L.A.? I, uh, want to visit Camila.

Oh, I wish I could send you, but I-I can't afford it.

What are you doing? Saving my brain.

You could sell that rock around your neck.

We'd have all the money we need.

Absolutely not. No.

This is for your college fund. You and Jaz.

I don't care about college. Even if I did--

You know what you're gonna have today?

- What? - A visa.

We'll all have, and that's something to get excited about.

Visa! Visa! Yes!

Fiona and Luca: Visa! Visa! Visa! Visa!

Hey, Mom. Mom, Mom. Mom, Mom, Mom, no.

It's crooked.

No, that's too floppy.

Do it like Mom did.

Let me just get this loop in here, and then it'll be good.

Just forget it.

I don't want to go to school today.

I don't want to go to work today.

Really? Why?

Well...

When you were born,

I made your mommy a promise.

And today is the day that I need to make that promise happen.

So I guess I'm...

a little scared that I might let her down.

What will you do?

I'm gonna transform my fear...

...into power.

I understand the dangers all of you face.

Cartel wars, DEA raids,

every day a battle to stay alive.

What if I told you that I could eliminate your risks

and increase your profits tenfold?

Ever since our days at Harvard together,

I've been acquiring cheap land in the middle

of the Nevada desert.

Now, I made those buys first based on a hunch.

Then I had a preliminary survey.

But now I have a core sample report.

And the land that you're standing on right now

contains a deep deposit

of rare earth metals.

Estimated net worth--

Trece billones dólares.

$13 billion.

If we divert a portion of the profits

into an open pit mining operation,

each one of you will acquire generational wealth

beyond your dreams.

Ladies, gentlemen,

together we can own Vegas.

Hell yeah!

...ser dueños de Las Vegas!

Now, let me get this straight, jefe.

You want us to pay more money to Sin Cara than we already do?

Yeah, but in exchange for greater gains.

It's clean money at no risk.

You'd be a fool to turn it down.

What does Ramona think of this plan?

I'm sure I don't need to remind you

that I'm the head of Sin Cara now.

Still, perhaps we can gather at a future date

after you've spoken with her.

Tough crowd.

Nah. They lack vision.

Care for some spicy peanuts?

...support and defend the Constitution... Thank you.

...and laws of America

against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Congratulations! That's gonna be us soon.

I won't lie. You're lucky to have Agent Russo as a friend.

Without her sponsorship, you would not be sitting here today.

Yeah. We're very grateful for her.

I know.

I'm gonna ask you a series of questions.

It's important you answer honestly.

What's your full name?

Thony Chantrea De La Rosa.

When did you enter the U.S.?

Two years ago with my son, Luca.

Um, he was very sick, but he's better now.

How did you enter the U.S.?

Well, um, the first time I came here on a tourist visa,

and, um, I overstayed by-- by like 18 years.

What is your job title or field of study?

My job title is, um, cleaning lady,

but my field of study is surgery.

I'm trained and certified

by the University of Santo Tomas in Manila.

Are you in school now?

First grade.

My class graduated.

I still have to take the GED.

I kinda fell behind when I got stuck in Manila.

Like your mom?

Exactly like my mom.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A scientific analyst and archaeologist.

Uh, have you ever been involved in any criminal activities?

Yes.

No. I mean, I spent my whole time here in America

hiding from the police.

What are your plans for the future?

Oh, moving to Los Angeles.

I'm going for ice cream after this.

My plans for the future. I mean, how should I know?

I don't even know what I'm gonna cook for tonight.

I like your tie.

When I get my visa, um,

I'm gonna find a residency

for international medical graduates.

And my plan is to regain my career as a doctor

and start helping people again.

Good.

Thank you.

Can we go for ice cream now?

Yes, my love. You go with Tita Fi.

I'm gonna wait for Russo for her to sign the applications

and make it official.

Okay, Let's go for ice cream!

I'll see you there.

Ice cream! Ice cream!

Where-- Where are you going?

Away. I'm taking Luca to the airport.

I'm going to Cambodia to see my mom.

No, they-- they won't let you back into the country.

I can't take it anymore. This is no life, Fi.

Just don't do something that you're gonna regret.

Okay? They burned her alive in front of me.

I thought I'd left the cartel.

Well, obviously, I was so stupid for believing it.

Wait, it's-- you think it's Ramona?

I know it was Ramona.

I helped Russo put her in prison.

If I stay, I'm next.

What are they fighting about?

I don't know, buddy, but it doesn't sound good.

There are no visas without Russo.

No one else cares about us.

Luca, come!

You can't go, okay?

You can't go. We-- We're a family.

Yeah, look, you and Chris and Jaz

were just fine before I came.

No! You'll do it again.

What if we don't want to do it again, huh?

We-- We-- We need you! Just don't make it hard!

Fi, please! I need to go.

You need me to go. Say goodbye to Tita Fi.

Okay?

Love you.

Bye. Bye.

Come on, my love.

Yes, come on, come on, come on, come on.

The white zone is for the immediate loading

and unloading of passengers only.

Bag. Here you go.

Thank you.

You follow, my love?

All right. Hurry up.

This way.

I forgot to tell Thony I love her.

Thony knows how much you love her.

I-I just can't believe she would leave me alone like this.

This is-- You're not alone.

Oh, God. You know what I mean.

No, I don't know.

No, I mean, she's my ate, you know?

And-- And without her,

I-I just don't know who I am.

Okay. Hey. I-I get that...

You don't have to do this by yourself, Fiona.

I can stay here and help as long as you need.

Permanently, even.

We could be our own family.

O-O-Our own family?

Family is family.

I mean, it's you, it's me,

it's Chris, it's-- it's Jaz, it's Thony, it's Luca,

it's Paolo, Nanay, Tatay.

I mean, family members aren't like pieces of food

you can spit out when they're too hot to chew.

Do-- ugh!

Okay. Just...

I-I'm sorry. I'm upsetting you.

Yes! I mean, no, it-- ugh.

Final boarding call for flight...

Why are we running? Where are we going?

I told you, we're gonna go see Lok Yeay Sokha

and lots of family you've never met before.

We already have lots of family here. Hello, ma'am.

I need two tickets for, um, Phnom Penh

next to each other.

But we already have lots of family here.

We do, yes, I know, I know.

When are we coming back?

I have to be back by Tuesday. Tuesday is a field trip.

My whole class is going to the Space Museum.

Hey. A minute, my love.

I have two seats on the 3:30 flight to Phnom Penh

with a stop in Seoul.

Stop-- yeah. Great. Thank you.

Mama, no.

I want to go home.

We're gonna make a new home. Okay?

I know it's hard, but do you trust me?

Mama? What?

Are you scared?

Flight 2744 to Manila is now boarding.

Is someone picking on you?

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.

Ticket agent: Ma'am, do you want to buy these tickets?

Oh sige. Oh sige.

Mm.

Um... Yung susi.

Hmm.

Let's go! Back inside!

So you proved your point.

You still have power in prison.

Good for you.

Good for me, too.

How is any of this good for you?

Obviously you need me,

because otherwise I'd be the one who's dead right now.

What could you possibly have to offer me?

I don't know yet, but what I need

is visas for my family.

Make your ask,

and I'll see if I'll help you or not.

You're getting confused, Thony.

You put me here.

I'm not helping you with anything.

Okay.

Then I'll go home to see my family,

to a nice meal because I--

well, 'cause I'm free to do so.

You'll never control me again.

Thony!

Thony!

My brother has a soft spot for you.

I sent word for him to visit,

but he won't come to me.

I mean, you only tried to steal his daughter

and frame him for your crimes.

What I did, I did for Jorge.

I knew he was not strong enough to lead.

He needed to toughen up,

learn how to fight.

Time in prison--

that was going to be my gift to him.

That's so... generous of you.

Do not lecture me, Thony.

My baby brother is a dreamer.

But our associates-- they don't want dreams.

They want what they know.

Jorge's life is in danger.

I can counsel him, but he needs to come see me.

And I need visas for my family.

So what is it gonna be?

Jorge is at the Desert Coliseum.

Convince him to come visit me,

and I'll give you what you ask.

This isn't a pawnshop, son.

Uh, yes, sir, I-I know.

And I'm not a fence for stolen merchandise.

No, no, no. These are my mom's.

I-I just want to get them appraised.

I'll take the set. Give you a fair market price.

I-I just want to see how much they're worth.

My mom-- My mom-- My mom does.

Write down your name and number.

Well, this is a big surprise.

What brings you to my door?

Your sister.

I just left the prison. She wants to see you.

Why would you go to see her?

Why? Because I'm tired of running from her.

She had Russo killed in front of me today.

Yeah, I heard about Russo. You were there, huh?

Oh, yeah, I was there. Yeah.

It's only gonna help the DA's murder case against her.

Yeah? Who's giving the orders here?

I thought you were the boss.

Ramona's still powerful, even behind bars.

Yeah, I know that.

What happens when she comes after my family next?

Thony.

Come here. Have a drink.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

I was hoping to avoid my sister, but I hear you.

I'll get her under control.

Please.

What's this place?

Desert Coliseum.

We needed a new method to wash cartel money.

And I just bought it.

I thought you wanted to develop a big, fancy casino resort.

I've got a new project, one that's gonna provide

a safe and legal future for my daughter.

That was my wife's dream before she died.

So, anyway, if you like rodeos

or monster trucks or K-pop concerts,

I can get you the best seats--

Go! Stay low!

Hey! Hey!

Who shot at us?

I'm not sure, but, uh, I'm gonna get you out of here.

Come on.

Thony, get back!

You stay here.

- Jorge? - Aah!

Okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna stop the bleeding with this.

Hold it tight. Tight. Really tight.

- Okay. - You're gonna be fine.

Aah!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Who do you work for?

Who sent you?

Jorge, watch out!

Okay, okay, okay.

We need to elevate your shoulder.

Come here, come here.

The bullet went through.

It hit your brachial artery.

I'm gonna have to stop the bleeding.

It's gonna hurt. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thony... Call an ambulance.

911. Now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No police. Podesky!

Mándalo page-- This is not a time for a house call.

You need to go to a hospital.

He's the cartel doctor. He--

When he gets here, he'll know how to handle this.

No luck. I can't reach Thony.

I'm sure she's okay.

Or maybe she flew to Manila on her own.

Shh.

What-- What's happening? Is it-- Is it Thony?

Thony? No.

I'm here to speak with a Chris De La Rosa.

Chris? Come in.

A local shop owner called us

after a teenage kid brought some pricey jewelry

in for an appraisal today.

Uh, um, yeah. Yeah.

Um, I-I sent my son to get my jewelry appraised.

Well, you're a brave lady, ma'am.

I don't know if I'd trust my kid

with a quarter of a million dollars worth of merch.

A quarter of a million?

Now, maybe you can tell me how you came

to acquire the stolen jewelry.

It's connected to the MGM Grand hit three years ago.

Um, that-- that was the gift that Nadia...

gave me. Mm-hmm.

Let me talk to this fine gentleman for a minute, okay? Yes, okay.

Chris, why don't you go wait in your room?

Yeah. You wait in your room.

Jorge!

Stay calm. Don't fall asleep.

Okay? Stay with me.

Jorge, don't fall asleep.

Then keep me awake.

Okay. I made a deal with your sister today.

Oh, Thony.

She's gonna help me get visas for my family

in exchange for getting you to visit her in prison.

She thinks you can't run the cartel alone.

If your family takes favors from Ramona,

then they'll all be in her debt.

Every one of them.

I'll pay her a visit.

Just don't take any gifts from her.

Thank you.

Your doctor better get here soon.

Back to work, Sanchez.

I want that upper floor clean before lights out.

Can I talk to you?

Go away.

I know who you are.

I'm Sin Cara.

I was with El Don when you met him at Rio Grande.

Mm. I-I wasn't supposed to see you, but...

but I did.

My name is Elena.

Elena, can you get me a cellphone?

Easy.

That sweaty peckerwood out there?

He trades burner phones for sexual favors.

You're a junkie.

No. No, I-I'm not.

It's okay.

I probably killed the men of half the women here.

I can't risk

a drug addict giving me away for a fix.

Hold tight, Mr. Sanchez. Help is on the way.

What have we got here?

Arterial trauma in the upper left shoulder.

Hold on. Who are you? I'm a doctor.

He suffered a laceration of the brachial artery

with stage-two distal ischemia from the gunshot wound.

He needs blood. I got three units

of Mr. Sanchez's blood in the cooler.

What I don't have is a vascular shunt.

Y-You don't need one.

A simple anastomosis can restore blood flow.

He needs sutures.

Jorge, can you hear me?

You're gonna lose your arm

if we don't restore circulation right now.

Tell your doctor to get out of my way.

Now, hold on, young lady.

Who the hell do you think you are?

I'm his best chance to stay alive.

Just do what she says, Podesky.

Find something flat. We're gonna make a stretcher

and transfer him to a sterile field for surgery.

Okay, okay.

I-I wasn't trying to steal them, I swear.

I-I was just trying to see how much you could sell them for.

I-I-I promise.

Why?

You said you'd send me to L.A. if we had money.

I mean, honestly, we could all use the money.

You, too.

Okay.

Sit, sit. Hmm?

Look...

I understand your desire to-- to run off to L.A.

I mean, when I wasn't much older than you,

I ran off to Vegas, here, the City of Lights.

But, I mean, L.A. and Camila--

those aren't gonna solve your problems.

Who says I have problems?

Do you?

Nothing changes, Mom.

I just keep getting older,

and we're not even gonna get our visas.

It's why you have to-- to take control of your future.

Mom, not college again. Okay?

Well, college is not an option.

The police have confiscated my jewelry.

What?

Are you serious?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Look, Chris,

you have to find something that you like.

Music. You like music. You like--

You're in here with your headphones all the time.

Come on. Yeah, but it's not like I play music or write music.

I just... I just feel it.

But, I mean, that's a gift. That's a gift.

You have something that-- that feeds your soul.

Look, figure out what makes you happy.

Hmm?

And if that means going to L.A., I-I'm okay with that.

But you have to find a way to work

and save money on your own to get there.

How am I supposed to find work?

Undocumented? No transportation?

Like...

Well, that-- that is why your Tita Thony and I

started the Cleaning Ladies.

And there's always room for one more.

- You talking about me? - Mm-hmm.

- A cleaning lady? - It'll make you a better man.

And you can start by, uh, cleaning your room here

'cause it smells like feet.

You saved my arm and my life, Thony.

I was a soft target for that second shooter.

If it wasn't for your warning, I'd be dead right now.

You want to show your gratitude?

What do you want?

His job.

She's a live one, isn't she?

Dr. Podesky's work for us requires him

to maintain employment at an actual hospital.

Yeah, I know that.

When Russo was alive, I was on my path

to an actual hospital.

You have no idea what you're asking.

As El Médico, you have to do things you don't want to do.

You see things you can't unsee.

Like what? Watching a woman burn alive

or chopping up dead bodies?

Done it.

After Ramona's arrest, I offered you a role in the cartel.

You rejected my generosity then.

What's changed?

Me. I've changed.

The cartel has taken enough from me.

It's time to give back.

I want what's mine.

So?

So... it's pretty good, I think,

because Jorge said that he can use his connections

to help me.

I'm gonna work in a real hospital

earning my medical license.

So cleaning's too good for you now, huh?

It's a matter of perspective.

I'll still be cleaning up after the messes.

Is this-- Is this really a good idea?

I mean, you're-- you're in the cartel now.

I've been in the cartel since I let Hayak use me,

and then Jorge, and then Ramona.

If it's too much for you, I can take Luca...

No. ...and we can move out, Fi.

No, no no, no. Yeah.

We're a family. We stick together.

But the children-- they can't find out.

If it makes it any easier,

the family of cartel members are off limits.

Oh, my God. Russo.

Yeah. Jesus.

We'll find our way to citizenship.

I haven't given up on this dream yet.

I'm serious.

For now, you just have to

run this cleaning business by yourself.

I've never run anything on my own.

Not even the washing machine.

I guess we're both moving up the food chain.

Mm. Food, snacks.

Luca has got a field trip tomorrow.

Well, the sari-sari store is still open.

Uh, yeah. Don't take my food.

All right, I'll be back.

Hello.

I understand Sin Cara has a new Médico.

Congratulations.

If you think I'm working for you,

you're wasting your phone minutes.

I'm only answering to the boss.

Bien dicho, mija.

Did you convince my brother to come visit me

like we talked about?

If you want those citizenship documents--

I don't want anything from you.

You might have saved Jorge's life,

but if you want to keep him alive

and keep your new job,

he needs to come see me.

That's up to him.

Is it? Is it, really?

Let me ask you something, Thony.

Was it Jorge's idea to bring you into the cartel,

or was it yours?

That's what I thought.

In my world, the men hold the throne,

but the women have the power.

Well, it's too bad for you, Ramona,

because in my world, a woman can have both.

Good night.

Come here.

You get out of my way now.
