Previously...

- It's a raid! - Arman!

Go, go, go!

- I left him. - Maybe he got away.

- How do you know Arman Morales? - I clean for him.

Stop lying! Take her to Sin Cara.

Sin Cara?

Help me find him. He could be in danger.

We'll put our best people on it.

I had a baby. We have a son.

How the hell are you here?

I'm not interested in making any deals, if that's what you're asking.

I'm your new caseworker from Child Protective Services.

I'm afraid Luca's gonna have to come with me.

You're ready, my love.

I should be in there with him.

Please. And I'm a doctor.

I could explain things that aren't in the chart.

But you're not his doctor. And you're not a doctor in this country.

There are different protocols.

The medication you gave him may not have been approved

because of concerns about its safety.

This treatment saved his life. He wouldn't be here without it.

I know this is difficult. But this is an unbiased exam

to determine if Luca's health is at risk or if there's been any harm done to him.

What happens after this?

After today, I'll do a home assessment

and then random wellness checks before a judge will decide

if Luca can stay with you.

A judge? You're telling me I could lose him? No, no.

We always prefer that a child stay with a parent.

So, you'll get a chance to bring in witnesses who can attest

to your care for Luca.

You mentioned that you live with your sister-in-law, Fiona.

Someone like her will really help your case.

Mommy!

I need to get in there, please. I'm going in. I'm his mother.

It's my right.

I'm sorry, Thony. As of today, your rights are under review.

What do you mean? I thought the FBI dropped all the charges.

They did, but CPS just put Luca in the system,

and now, we're gonna have a custody hearing within a week.

I'm sorry, Thony.

- I feel like I'm losing everyone. - No.

You're not. I'm right here, and you're not gonna lose Luca.

I hate having to worry you with all this

when you already have so much to deal with.

Well, Paolo talked to some of his Turo Turo friends,

and we're staying at Tay's family's,

so hopefully no vigilantes will find us.

But if they did, I'm afraid of what Chris would do to protect me.

I can't have anything happen to him.

It won't. I already made contact with someone

that should be able to bring you back.

How? Through Nina's coyote or something?

'Cause it's one thing for me to take the risk.

But for Chris, I mean, people die on those routes.

It's gonna be safe. It's someone connected to Arman's family.

They bring people in all the time.

And I'm just gonna make sure that they take care of you.

But still no word from Arman?

Nothing.

Thony, I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do.

I just keep remembering that look on his face. I shouldn't have left him.

Please stop beating yourself up over this.

There was nothing else you could do.

You're right. Let's just focus on bringing you home.

Are you sure you can do all this now?

Fi, I'm going through hell without you.

And Luca's hearing is in a week.

Listen to me. I'm there. Okay?

You stay safe and I'll get back to you as soon as I work things out. Okay?

Thank you. Okay.

All right.

I'm coming. What's wrong, my love?

I don't wanna go with that lady again. Don't let her take me.

No, no. This is Samentha.

Do you remember what Mommy said?

I'm never gonna let anything bad happen to you. Okay?

So, apparently Samentha has heard that you have a new toy to show her.

The new spaceship?

The spaceship. Yeah. Why don't you go grab it?

Hey, girl.

Thank you so much for coming on such short notice.

Of course, he's my favorite little guy in the world.

I shouldn't be too long. Okay?

You sure it's safe for you to be out here?

Yeah. I'm not gonna live my life in fear.

And while we're here, I think it's important for you to know

where you come from.

No, you're not of age yet.

Although I've been drinking this since I was fourteen.

Yeah, you were a rebel.

Cool! What do you think?

How are you? My name is Chris.

That's not bad. You're getting there.

But what I meant by where you came from, it's...

Luca would love this. He would love this, right?

Look, I think it's great, Chris that you get to see all the stuff

that I grew up with, but there's something else.

I need to tell you something important.

Ruby! Ruby!

Magician!

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

I need to get in touch with the cartel again.

Yeah, that's not what we do here.

In fact, making those calls raised a little hell for me.

Boss didn't really appreciate the cartel stormin' in on our territory.

I can pay double what I did before.

Or you could tell us who Sin Cara is.

I thought you knew.

Nobody's got a beat on Sin Cara.

But for some reason, the cartel snatched you up, took you with them.

Wait!

Come on, lady. What do you mean to the cartel? Tell us what you know.

If I knew anything, I wouldn't be here.

But they know you now.

If you really think I matter to them, go ahead. See what happens.

Don't come back here.

How is he?

Great. We built the spaceship for Turtle.

And now he's playing I Spy with your friend.

My friend?

Hello, Thony.

You have fun at the park.

- Have fun catchin' up. - Bye, Mommy.

What a precious little boy.

He's just a little older than my niece.

But the health scares that he survived.

It's a miracle, really.

You have no right to be here, Ramona.

I thought you wanted to see me. Isn't that why you went to see Angel?

You caused quite a stir from what I hear.

And I just wanted to talk to you.

I appreciate your resourcefulness and that you kept quiet.

But as Armando's cleaning lady,

I thought you'd know better about discretion.

I do. I really do.

Good. Because I'm still trying to see how you fit into his life.

So, you haven't found him yet?

We will. These things take time.

Listen, I can help. We have contacts.

We've put the word out.

But this is a delicate situation, as I'm sure you understand.

Yes, no one can know that you're family.

For Armando's sake, as well as ours.

If he's gone underground, that's one thing,

but if he's being held captive...

- He'd be more valuable. - That's right.

But Armando is my family. My blood.

We were all so close before Eduardo ripped us apart.

So, when I say I'll take care of it, I will.

Now, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?

My sister-in-law got deported to the Philippines,

and I need her back with her son. Could you help me with that?

You got a lot of nerve asking for passage on the very routes

you compromised for me.

And while I feel for your family,

the only person I'm interested in bringing home safely is my nephew.

I understand. Arman was helping me with Fiona.

And if you don't do it for me, do it for Arman.

Ramona, please. I have money.

I can pay you and I'll give you the rest later.

I can clean for you.

I can make anything disappear, same type of jobs I was doing for Arman.

But you'd need to bring my sister back this week.

As a matter of fact, I just might have something coming up for you to clean.

My brother Jorge will be in touch.

Magician!

I saw you over here. Meet my friends.

Hey! So you live in America now?

Yeah. That's me. I live in America.

Next time you take Paolo too, huh?

Well, if I could have, I would have.

Just do, right?

Mom, Ruby Ibarra, she spoke to...

- Sorry! Hi! I'm Chris. - Your son. He's here too.

Chris.

- Chris, this is Paolo. - Hi, Paolo!

How are you?

- Paolo, this your son? - What? You have a son, Paolo?

Anak? Doesn't that mean "son"?

Is he... Are you...

Yeah, I've already called Clark County and Nevada Mortuary.

I've actually called every mortuary in town

and no one matches his description.

No. Why do I need to file a report when I'm telling you he's missing?

Okay. I'll look into it.

Can you just please call me if anyone turns up?

I'm sorry about...

Okay, thank you.

Just stop.

Stop! Will you just leave me alone?

I was trying to tell you, that's why I brought you here.

So, it's true, huh? What that guy said.

They called me "anak".

I never meant for it to come out like that.

So that guy's my dad?

Yes. Paolo is your father.

You gotta be kidding me, right?

I was gonna tell you. I swear.

You pretended that you didn't even know him.

That he was just a one-night stand.

It was a one-night stand that became another night.

And how long? How long were you together?

Four or five months. I don't know.

Seriously? I spent my whole life wishing that I had a dad.

And you just robbed me of that.

You pretended that you didn't even know him,

but he's been here the whole time?

I didn't know he was here. I hadn't spoken to him since.

Why did you have to lie to me about it, though?

Right after you told me there'd be no more lies.

I was embarrassed. Okay?

I was embarrassed. It wasn't just you I lied to.

I lied to everyone, including Paolo.

Please.

You should be ashamed of that.

Stop.

You don't need that. We'll have supplies there.

Well, I like to be prepared.

I said you don't need that.

So how long has it been since you saw Arman?

A long time.

He never got to meet your daughter, I guess.

Ramona mentioned her niece and St. Helena's...

She also said Arman and you were very close.

We were kids. We didn't know anything else.

When I first met Arman, I thought he was going to kill me.

But if we didn't meet, my son wouldn't be alive today.

He was born with a rare immunodeficiency

that led to one medical issue after another.

And he only made it because of Arman.

Doesn't change who he is.

No, I think it speaks to who he is.

You may think that, but people reveal themselves eventually.

So, what did Luca's father have to say about that?

He passed away a few months ago.

Sorry.

I know people don't wanna talk about these things.

Yeah, people don't wanna hear it.

They just wanna tell you how to get over it.

So you understand. You lost someone too?

You don't know what I understand.

I'm really sorry, okay? I know how hard it is. Especially on kids.

Kids are tough. They get through it.

How could you not tell us that Paolo's the father of Chris?

After what you guys said when I got pregnant? I mean, what you did?

Did you love him?

Did I love him? I don't know.

But I knew that I was on my own and I had to give my baby

the best life I could. And it wasn't gonna be here.

You raised a good son.

A great son. Tell her.

You raised a great son.

Hot-headed, like his mom.

Like his grandfather.

Yeah, exactly. Look who's talking.

I gotta call Thony. Okay?

Hello?

Hey, Fi. I can't really talk right now.

But everything is almost sorted out.

You'll be flying to Mexico in one day or two.

So, you need to take Chris to the consulate as soon as you can

and ask for two expedited passport renewals.

I don't think that's possible.

It is if you know the right person to pay.

Did you get the money I sent?

Yes. But I don't think it's possible because Chris took off of me.

He's been gone all night.

What do you mean, gone?

I tried introducing him to Paolo and just totally botched it.

And now he knows everything and he's pissed.

Okay. Well, he might just need a bit of time.

But I still don't think I can get him to the consulate today.

Any chance we can push this?

No. Are you kidding?

It's been hard to set this up,

and we need to get you out of there before there's another attack.

- So, just think, where could he be? - I don't know.

Fi, I have to go. He's clever.

He'll be okay. Just find him and be safe out there.

What are we doin' here?

Cleaning up the mess you made.

What is that? Is that Angel?

Why'd you kill them? Is that some sort of sick punishment?

You're the reason that they're dead. For almost exposing our identity.

I promise you I didn't say anything to them.

These are your tools.

I am not doing this. I clean. That's all.

You wanted to work for your sister's passage. This is the job.

Please.

Yeah.

I'll take care of it. Bring her to you.

Arman's wife, Nadia. Did you say anything to her about us?

No. She knows nothing.

Keep it that way.

You have two hours. Acid.

There's your plastic.

Get rid of it all.

Morales?

Hi. I am here to file a missing person's report.

I tried calling, but I was on hold for over an hour.

And then the line just dropped.

Fill this out best you can. Did you bring a photo?

I did. I can call off the search anytime, right, if he turns up?

Yes, this is Nadia.

Yes, of course.

And the description matches? I'll be right there.

Come.

Let me cook for you.

This is a lot of food.

Not for a Filipino.

That's sinigang, my specialty.

Do you cook?

Me? No. Not unless you count nuking Jollibee leftovers.

For me cooking is life.

Come. Let me show you.

But before you can enter Paolo's great Turo Turo kitchen...

- Now you look the part. - I do?

Do you know what this is?

Ugly...

It's ampalayá.

Bitter melon. Ugly and bitter.

But it cleans the blood, helps with diabetes.

It's good for you, but it's no good if no one eats it.

First we have to make it look nice.

And then we make it taste good.

How did you learn how to cook?

The original Paolo, the OG. My tatay.

I wish my mom told me about you sooner.

Don't be mad at your mom.

What she did, too many others are too scared to do.

She left everything she loved.

And everyone who loved her.

But she did it all for you.

Yeah, but still, I mean, she didn't have to, like, lie to me about it.

Do you know what malasakit is?

Malasakit?

It's a Filipino thing where you put the needs of others before your own.

Your mom, she is full of malasakit.

You're the proof.

She gave up her life so that you could have yours.

A life that I could not have given you.

Back then, I was not the same man that I am now.

I was young and stupid.

I was all over the place, man. I was a mess.

We met at the right time, son.

Okay. So, who are you and what have you done with my son?

Go. Show some malasakit for your mom.

I'm sorry. I wish I did things differently with...

With both of you.

You just did what you thought was best for me. I get it now.

But you're right. I robbed you of a father.

And that's wrong.

No, Paolo is a good person,

and I never wanted to hurt him like that. Okay?

That's because you're a good person too.

I am?

Look, I hate to do this, but we have to go to the consulate.

Thony's found us a way home, and we leave soon, so...

Come back for merienda.

Bring your lolo and lola.

Really?

You'll never find him this way, Nadia.

Who are you?

Consider me a friend of the family.

You don't look like a friend.

Well, I have some friendly advice.

Stop asking questions about Arman.

You've been busy.

Calling hospitals, morgues, but the police?

You should've been smarter than that, Nadia.

All I care about is finding Arman.

I just want to know what happened to him.

This is the problem.

A caring wife starts making noise.

Starts coming up with theories. Pretty soon, she's hysterical.

I won't say another word, I swear.

Just let me know if he's still alive.

You need to be careful, Nadia.

Arman's not here to protect you.

And I would hate for us to meet again.

Because the next time it won't be as a friend.

- Did your teacher like the drawing? - Yeah.

She did? I knew it. 'Cause you're so good.

It was such a good drawing. That's why, right? Beautiful.

Wait for me a second, sweetheart. All right?

I'll be right back. All right?

What the hell are you doing here? Put this on.

- I almost got caught by the police. - You need to leave. Now.

If I get caught, I'm gonna lose my son.

Stop! There's kids here. My kid.

Jorge.

Hey.

Hey, are you volunteering at Carnevale this year?

I know Violeta's mom always helped

but the fish toss has two spots open.

The fish toss? I love it. Okay, put me down for one.

- Just one? - Yeah. Thank you.

You need to leave.

And you need to listen to me. I am not gonna do this again.

- I barely got away this time. - You came to us.

Asking for help, asking for this job. It's what you did for Arman.

- I never chopped bodies before. - Stop.

Who do you think you are, huh?

Coming near my child? Coming to her school like this?

Ramona came to my home. And that's fine?

What are you talking about?

She came and threatened my kid.

And how would you feel if that happened to your child?

Don't come near my daughter again.

What the hell kinda game were you playing with Thony?

First you show your face. Now you're going into her home?

She wanted to see me, and I thought we could get better acquainted.

By threatening her son?

He's an adorable boy. So inquisitive.

Stop. And own up to what you did.

Which is what?

I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

But what I do know is that while I was at the morgue

trying to stop Armando's wife from exposing you,

you were exposing me to Thony.

Did you really have to tell her that I've got a kid?

Why? What did she do?

She went to Violeta's school covered in blood, making a scene.

Did Violeta see her?

No, she didn't see her, but she could have!

That woman is erratic. You wanted me to find out more about her?

She has a sick kid, dead husband,

family being attacked in the Philippines.

She's desperate.

And we both know that desperate people become liabilities.

So, whatever game you're playing with her has to stop.

I know what I'm doing, Jorge. I would never put Violeta at risk.

She is my heart and my soul.

Then why keep that woman around? She's nobody.

She should be buried in the desert by now.

Just because she has ties to Armando...

She's clearly much more than that.

And if he returns to find we hurt someone he cares about

he will never forgive us.

Why does any of that matter?

'Cause it does. Until Armando comes back, God willing,

we have to keep her close, learn what we can from her.

And maybe she'll even prove useful.

We don't need either of them for our business.

Especially after they stole from us.

Our people were killed because of them!

He couldn't have known he was using our routes.

He's family, Jorge.

Family who turned their backs on us, treated us like crap.

That was Eduardo.

Armando was just a boy, same as you.

You were just like brothers.

But now, he's come back into our lives. Can't you see?

This was meant to be.

And once Armando returns to us,

you'll remember the bond you shared with him. Because he belongs to us.

No. Not with me.

- Dad! - There's the princess!

The princess of the house. Have a seat.

How are you, my love?

We'll continue this later.

Now, do me a favor and see that our new friend gets this.

Are you hungry? A little bit?

A little bit or a lot?

That's the flight information for your family.

Along with details on the motel, the coyote, it's all there.

So, we're good now, right?

It doesn't work that way.

I didn't do this...

Until we say that you are done, you will do what is asked

and you do not want to renege on paying that debt.

There has to be an end to this. Two passengers, two jobs. That's it.

This isn't a negotiation.

I have a custody hearing at the end of the week.

If they find out about any of this, I'm gonna lose my son.

There has to be something else I can do.

This is the deal you made, Thony.

And the only reason we made this concession is because of Arman.

Be grateful you're not already dead.

Oh, my God, I have been craving for this coconut pie!

It's even better than I remember. It's so good.

I remember you eating two pies at once or was it three?

It was four.

My daughter has a good appetite.

Where it comes from. It's Thony.

Thony, I wish you were here to taste Paolo's pinakbet

and coconut pie. Say, "hi"! Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah. Everything is set.

I have your tickets. I'm gonna send them to you and you're flying tonight.

Oh, my God.

So, I'm gonna send all the details. I'll text them.

The motel. Where to meet the coyote. It's all set.

Thank you, Thony. It's just all happening so fast.

You have to be careful out there. It might not be as easy as we think.

Hey, I get that.

Thank you. I'll see you soon. Yeah?

How is everything over there?

She got us tickets on the next flight to Mexico tonight.

Can she get us three more tickets?

Don't worry. I'll take care of your lola and lolo.

We'll take care of your tatay, now that we know he's family.

Don't open it 'til you get home.

Thanks, dad.

It's gonna be okay.

A few sessions with the Magician... Now look at him.

I just wish everything happened differently.

Everything is as it should be. Hmm?

And don't worry, Chris made the coconut pie.

You won't have to go another sixteen years without it.

God, I'm spoiled.

Come on, we have to go.

Are you sure you have your passport? Check again, please.

Of course, he did.

It's "for my son".

Nadia, what are you doing here?

I got a call back from a mortuary today, but it was a setup.

What do you mean, it wasn't him?

No. A guy showed up and threatened me.

He told me to stop asking questions about Arman.

- Did he come for you too? - No.

Because he was cartel, Thony. I'm sure of it.

Maybe even Sin Cara himself.

Did you say that to anyone?

What? No.

Good, because this is what's gonna get you killed.

Especially the police, Nadia.

I'm not an idiot, Thony.

I was just gonna file a missing person's report in case anyone turned up.

But now, I think this guy has Arman. And we gotta figure out who he is.

I won't have the cartel near my family. It's too dangerous.

Don't you get it? From what he said, Arman could still be alive.

And if he is, we need to find him.

If we don't back off, they're gonna kill us all.

Where were you today?

I had a job.

What kind of job?

Is there anything you're trying to hide from me?

What? No.

Thony, I need to know that I can count on you.

If anyone approaches you or tells you anything about Arman...

I want to find him as much as you do. Okay?

I just need to protect my family and you need to protect yourself.

I need to speak with agent Katherine Russo.
