Previously on The Cleaning Lady...

- Who did this to us? - Sin Cara cartel.

- I think Sin Cara's a woman. - Ramona Sanchez.

Jorge said you've been shot. Bullets contain lead.

- It could be poisoning you. - Can you get it out?

The light's out on the smoke alarm.

- Want me to check out the battery? - That would be great.

If I die, so will you and your family.

I'm gonna be okay now?

Once your lead levels drop, yeah.

- Where are Giselle and Camila? - She sleeps here at night.

This whole business with Nadia,

I thought you did it because you wanted to cut me loose.

Every move I make, they're all to keep us safe.

I got a bunch of perfectly good cameras just collecting dust in my truck.

This is weird, Fi. Jeremy's up to something.

He came in when everyone was out, and he snuck back out when I got home.

But why?

I think that he broke the faucet so I'd call him to fix it.

He's scamming us?

It's more than a scam. He put up cameras.

He's watching us? Like a creeper?

I don't know. There's something else.

Didn't Mr. Ludlow send him?

Yes, he did. But when the warehouse got vandalized,

I never checked that he actually...

I think he's the one who trashed the place.

So this whole thing is a setup?

He could have put cameras inside.

He cased the whole place that first time he came to fix the toilet.

- What? - Yeah. Oh, my God.

The smoke detector. He changed the battery.

The place is bugged.

You're kidding. First grade is like a glorified daycare.

I mean, no offense, but when I was six and I wrote my letters backward,

Miss Cipriaso beat me with a broom.

Well, American schools are different.

Yeah. They're soft.

Crap!

What is it? Is it one of those jobs again?

Don't start with me, Fi.

What is it, then?

I have to go to the "Spring Valley Fluff and Fold." Just a simple pickup.

Nothing is ever simple with these people.

You're in so deep that you've become full-time now!

- You're overreacting. - No, I am not overreacting.

I'm just so sick of this cartel stuff.

Well, I have to do it because, otherwise, they're gonna kill me.

Well, fine. Can you drop me off to Susie's?

Because it's on the way to the Fluff and Fold.

Sure. Let's go now because I have to meet them.

Okay. Great.

Hey!

Only you can have guerrilla surgery

and wake up the next morning looking like you just came out of a spa.

Thank you.

How are you feeling?

Amazing, all things considered. The nurse has me on the perfect cocktail.

Well, I'm glad it's over.

Thanks to Thony. She did so well under pressure.

You mean, being forced to operate at gunpoint?

Well, that was necessary.

Debatable.

I want you to know it wasn't just the pain talking.

I meant what I said about you having more control in the business.

Good. 'Cause I'm cooking up something that you're gonna like.

Do your plans include Nadia?

If so, I'd be careful. She's angry with me.

Look, I've gotten her to see past that.

And, as you know, Nadia knows some influential people that could help us.

Well, I'm happy you managed to work your charms on her, then.

Violeta! Where is my princess?

Congratulations, Miss Morales. All this is officially yours.

Thank you.

And thanks again for your patience. I've had an eventful few weeks.

But it's time to put the past behind, right?

Yeah...

Time for a fresh start.

You sure you don't want some tea? Boba?

We're good. Thanks, Mai.

We won't be here long. Thanks.

Please. You ladies always take care of me. Let me take care of you.

- Fi, that's him. He's here. - What? Son of a bitch!

He was listening.

See? I knew he's too hot to be a plumber.

Okay. How many pictures does he have of us?

Of you? If he's FBI, what does he have on you?

I don't know, but all those times he was pretending to be Mr. Nice Guy...

When we were looking for Arman, he gave us a ride.

That's why the feds showed up that day.

How could I be so stupid to let an FBI agent into our home?

The guy had me fooled, too.

He knows I'm working for the Cartel. If Ramona finds out, I'm done.

Didn't you just save her life? Any chance she can cut you free?

Whatever trust I built, I need to use it to get out of this.

All right, let's go. Let's go before he realizes that I'm not showing up.

Son of a bitch!

Well, what about the cameras that he put up, huh?

And the bug up in the smoke alarm? We need to get those out.

- No, no. We can't touch them. - You're kidding?

Because if we do, he'll know we know.

- So we just leave them? - Maybe we could use them later.

- Thony, this is not a game. - I know, Fi.

But for the first time, I'm ahead of things.

Now that I'm stuck between the FBI and the Cartel,

staying ahead is the only way we can get through this.

Okay, fine.

Everything looks good.

Your blood pressure is normal.

Have you had any symptoms from the chelation therapy?

Only the return of my energy and ability to think.

You really have proven yourself to me in many ways.

And, as you know, not many people can say that.

I'd like you to be more involved in my organization.

I appreciate the offer. Thank you, Ramona.

I know you don't take things lightly.

But since I've proven that I can be trusted,

I'd like to step away. I want out.

That's not what you came to me asking a few days ago.

I know, but you just tried to kill me.

Right. And now?

I'm just concerned for my son.

Especially, since CPS is still dropping by,

I can't be caught doing illegal things.

I'm sure you understand.

Look, you can be sure that I will never expose you or Jorge to anyone.

I just want to go back to my family. And my son.

I just hope you can understand that.

It might be hard for you to see this,

but you and I are not so different. I started out like you.

Just trying to "do the right thing" under challenging circumstances.

And, like you, everything was for my family.

To provide for them. To keep them protected.

But you know what I've learned?

What keeps my family safe is power.

And that's what I'm offering you.

I'm not interested.

Well, that's not entirely true, Thony.

I've seen you grasping for power in every situation you've been in.

Even when you should be completely powerless.

It's who you are. But I see you, Thony.

I may wear the mask of Sin Cara, but you wear many masks of your own.

Well, that may be so.

But right now, I just want to be a good mother.

I will make sure that you're well. And once you're recovered,

I hope you can understand my decision.

I'll consider your request, Thony. But, just to be clear,

I make the decisions about who's in and who's out.

And frankly, I'm just not ready to let you go yet.

This is it. Nadia, look at this. This is the dream.

Picture it. Right here. You're standing in the middle of it.

I'm not sure I'd ever want to leave.

That's the point. You won't.

I mean, it's for people who want everything at their fingertips.

Power players with friends to impress and money to burn.

Not to mention being a haven for money laundering.

Only that won't be in the brochure.

You're gonna fund this through the cartel?

Partially. We'll still need investors, of course.

So it's not just us?

Nadia, I'm gonna unlock all of the assets that the FBI froze from you.

Everything Robert Kamdar left behind.

That's how we make this ours.

- I was told it could take years. - It's a bit of a game.

And if we play it right, Nadia, we're gonna make a killing.

And how do you see my role in this?

You decide.

But I can't imagine you in any role that takes you out of the limelight.

You want me to be the face of it?

The face, brains, the talent, 'cause you're all of that.

- I'm no glorified hostess. - That's not what I meant.

Of course, you're not. I've seen what you can do.

You can convince people of anything. It's amazing.

And that with the clientele that you've cultivated at the club,

we're gonna reel in the big money.

And once it's up and running?

You'll be able to do whatever you want.

You'll be set for life.

We both would.

I'll make sure we're protected through shell corporations.

You'll be able to spread your wings and be free.

Striking, isn't it? It speaks of strength, resilience.

Breakin' the binds of one's circumstances.

This piece just got in

and already has more attention than anything else in the gallery.

I can see why.

Though to me it seems she's trapped by the guise of her own making.

Have you been here before?

No. It's my first time.

It's inspiring, actually.

So many pieces that speak to a woman's fortitude, power.

Thank you. I select everything myself.

I think I remember now.

We've crossed paths at La Habana.

I've been to La Habana many times. For work.

What is it that you do?

I'm ASAC Katherine Russo. FBI.

No? That's cool.

Pandemic. I get it. Not a lot of people shake hands anymore.

But since you don't seem like the fist pump kind of gal,

we can skip straight to the intro.

It's Sin Cara, right?

I'm not familiar with that name.

Speaking of, did you know galleries are often used as a front to launder money?

Or are you not familiar with that, either?

Unfortunately, a few bad actors in the art world spoil things

for the rest of us.

But if you have any doubts, you're welcome to look around.

Thank you for that. But, conveniently, I don't need your permission.

FBI! We have a search warrant!

- Miss Sanchez? - Do as they say.

We have nothing to hide.

What is it?

Mr. Sanchez, this is urgent. We need you in the front.

- Jorge Sanchez? - Can I help you?

We have a warrant to search the premises.

Sure. Have at it.

Yes, Derek. The FBI is here, too. In my home.

They're searching all my properties. Jorge's office.

Whatever is going on, I need answers now.

- Aunt. - My love!

Are you okay? Did something happen?

She was playing with her dollhouse and the agents scared her.

- Hi! - Hey!

What are you doing here?

I was at the market today.

And they had a two-for-one on those shrimp chips you love. So...

You know the way to my heart and to bargain with that.

And these are the ones that mom gets me.

Thank you. Are you playing hooky?

Sort of. It's a teacher development day.

I used the morning to do some math,

and I calculated that I'd rather spend time with you than grade quizzes.

It sounds like you didn't come here to do laundry, so let's eat these.

So Jaz tells me she wants to go Go-kart racing for her birthday.

Yeah. That's 'cause Chris talked her into it 'cause he wants to go.

Of course, he did.

Hey, did Chris ever hear back from Camila

after they thought she ghosted him?

Jaz kinda made it sound like maybe Camila's in trouble or something.

Honestly, I don't know.

Did it have to do with the people Thony's mixed up with?

The ones who brought you back?

I've heard bad things about people like that.

I don't really wanna talk about it anymore, all right?

All right. I get it. Is there someone Thony can reach out to?

Not that we could trust them, but I mean...

Just shut up and come here.

Are you tryin' to change the subject?

- Just stop talking. - Okay.

You know, can we really play hooky and just get out of here?

I've been in the house all day. Yeah?

- Yeah. - Let's do it.

I'll meet you in the car. Can I have the glasses? Thank you.

How is Violeta?

As if she hasn't been through enough already.

They tossed her room just to spite us 'cause they know they have nothing!

No, no, no, Jorge. I mean, this wasn't just a flex.

This Agent Russo called me Sin Cara to my face.

There's no way they know that for certain. And if they do,

nothing ties directly to you. You're clean. Spotless.

I've made sure of that.

- And you activated all our protocols? - Yes, of course.

Our contingencies are in motion. We're moving inventory, housing,

rerouting our cargo. Nothing will trace back to us.

Still how did this happen?

They've never come at me. At us. In our home?

Just scaring Violeta?

I know. Which is why I keep saying we need to dump those smuggling routes

and change things up.

The bigger our corporate framework, the easier it is to hide.

None of that matters if we've already been exposed.

Can you just put your big plans aside for a moment

and focus on what's happening here?

- I am doing that. - No!

We can't appear to be reacting, which is exactly what they want us to do.

What we need to do is figure out who did this to us.

Someone leaked something to the feds.

We need to find out, who, what, how, everything.

I need to make sure that Nadia hears this from me first.

- I don't want her getting spooked. - Really?

Do you think right now is the moment? Can you completely trust her?

I'm making good headway with her, so, yes.

And the investments we're making together are gonna protect us.

This came in from Derek.

Thank you.

I'm coming!

Oh, my God. Thank you.

Hey. I came as soon as I could.

It's the faucet that you fixed the other day.

- Damn! - I don't know what happened.

It's a good thing you were close. Like always.

Where were you exactly?

I was just at this new taco joint nearby. Taco Nazo.

I thought you were more of a Taco Bell guy.

I am every taco kinda guy.

Right. So I'm gonna go pick up my son.

But do you mind staying a little longer?

Fiona has a few questions about those pipes you mentioned.

- She'll be back soon. - Yeah, yeah, no problem.

Thank you so much. Good luck with this one.

Ramona, what happened here?

The FBI rampaged my home today

and I know who led them straight to my door.

This betrayal won't go unpunished.

I am so sorry. I didn't know...

Of course, you didn't. She lied to us all.

Nadia cut a deal with the feds.

What?

Do you mind?

Where did you get this?

I mean, is it even a real document?

From someone I trust. Someone I never had to question.

- It's just hard to believe. - Yes, it is.

After everything I did for her, welcoming her into my home, my heart,

my family. She stabbed me in the back and exposed me.

It doesn't sound like Nadia.

Jorge's gonna have difficulty believing it, too,

which is why I'm not certain he needs to know. At least not now.

Well, let me help you figure this out.

I can talk to her. I know her.

I'll find out if she really talked to the feds.

And if she did, then I'll take care of her myself.

You're not a killer.

No. But if she's feeding information to the feds,

then she's a threat to all of us, your family, my family as well.

I can do it discreetly, medically.

It will never lead back to you.

How?

I'll make it look like an overdose.

You've got ketamine in the stables. It'll be painless.

And Jorge won't need to know.

Talk to Nadia.

But if what I suspect is true, her life ends today.

And if you warn her off, you'll have betrayed me as well.

- But the feds didn't find anything? - They won't.

Anything in our names is completely clean.

As for the rest, we've got the safeguards in place.

Emergency protocols.

At this point, it's an annoyance more than anything.

Trust me, I know what that's like,

trying to stay calm when all you want to do is rip your hair out.

Which is exactly why we need to take this business to a new level.

One they can't touch.

So I just wanted to reassure you that despite what happened today,

nothing has changed.

I don't need any reassurances. I've already made my decision.

You know what you said about being free?

That's what I want now.

Well, then, here's to us becoming untouchable.

And as far as investors, have you ever heard of Christian Waller?

Waller? Yeah, sure.

He's a blind partner on half the hotel's on the Strip,

but I hear he keeps it close to the vest.

He definitely has some trust issues, but not with me.

You think you can get us a meeting with him?

I already did. Charmaine is holding a table for us tonight at eight.

- Oh, no! What now? - Nadia, we need to talk.

Hi, Thony.

Hi. Alone. Now.

We'll talk later.

Yeah. See you tonight.

Wait. I think it's here.

- You brought Chris here? - No, not inside.

The last thing I wanted him to do was barge in looking for Camila.

I've never seen him like this before about anyone.

Yeah, he is in deep. I know what that's like.

I just wish you'd loop me into all this sooner.

You are now.

Let's go.

- Not much out here. - Well, yeah, that is the point.

It doesn't feel right.

Last time I was here, there were a bunch of cars in the driveway

and men hanging out to keep watch.

- I'm gonna check in there. - Wait for me. Hold on.

No, no. They're gone. Everyone's gone.

They cleared the whole thing out.

What have they done to everybody?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I mean, did I do this?

No, Fi, you're not gonna put this on you.

There was a man that day, and he asked me what I was doing,

and he kicked me out. You don't get it.

There's something about these people here.

They were all crammed in a room and sharing a bed.

I mean, they weren't locked in, but they were trapped.

What if they moved everyone because of me?

I mean, how are we gonna find Camila and Giselle now, huh?

It's not your fault, Fi. It's okay.

Did you cut a deal with the feds?

What? No. No, I didn't.

- Nadia, I really need to know. - What the hell, Thony?

You think it's okay to just come in here and accuse me like this?

That body cam video you showed me, was it from the feds?

Did Russo approach you with that?

Just talk to me, Nadia.

Okay.

Okay, yes.

Yes. All right.

When Arman went missing, Russo came to me offering a deal.

But I didn't take it because she was playing me.

All I wanted was to find Arman, Thony. Like you, I wanted to protect him.

But when she wouldn't make a deal for him, I just cut things off.

- Why didn't you come to me? - Why would I? It was over.

That's why Russo froze all my assets because I refused to work with her.

I swear to God, Thony.

I could've helped you, Nadia. But now...

Now what?

Are you asking me this because of the raids on the cartel?

Because I had nothing to do with that.

I know you didn't. I believe you.

But other people won't.

You have to be careful, Nadia.

You always think you know everything.

But you don't.

What did you find out for me, Thony?

We need to talk. About Nadia.

Did you do your due diligence?

Yes, I did. We need to meet in-person.

There's nothin' to talk about anymore, Thony. I made my decision.

And I already sent someone to handle things.

I was just talking to her and I told you that I would take care of it.

Well, it's not in your hands anymore.

Truth is, I realized it's probably too close to you.

No, I want to do it.

For Arman.

You can certainly try, but if you fail, my guy won't.

Hi. JD just dropped me off

and we went to the house to find Camila and Giselle.

Hold on.

They're gone, Thony.

I think they cleared them out because of me.

What if it's my fault that we lost them, huh?

No, no, Fi, it's not your fault.

I think the cartel had to move people around.

Ramona got raided by the FBI.

Oh, my God. Wait. So they know who she is?

Yeah, because of me and Jeremy.

But she thinks it's Nadia who talked to the feds,

and she wants her dead now.

Does Nadia know?

No, I couldn't tell her.

If she tried to run and Ramona thought I'd warn her off...

Oh, my God, please. Please, just stay out of this, okay?

I can't, Fi.

Thony, what are you gonna do, huh?

Yes, Atticus?

I'm leaving La Habana now. I got the address and I'm on my way.

Good. Get it done quickly.

I always do.

It's a bad idea, Thony. Don't get in the middle of this.

Damn it, Thony, please.

I know it feels like this is the only way,

but if you go in there, it's not gonna end well.

I mean, how much more blood do you want on your hands?

What if you get killed?

Please, just turn around. Yeah?

Thony, are you there now, at Nadia's new house?

Damn it!

Don't go in that house.

- Hey. - Hey.

Something's going down with Thony and Nadia Morales.

Fiona's totally freakin' out about it.

Where? I'll send another agent.

- No, I'll go. - Jeremy, you can't blow your cover.

No, I can't lose an asset either.

I'll shoot you the address, I'm headed there now.

Nadia?

Thony?

Oh, my God. What are you doing here?

- Are you alone? - What the hell?

Thony? Thony, please.

You just can't barge in here. I have an important dinner.

I need to go.

What's happening?

Nadia, Ramona thinks you made that deal with the feds.

Again? I already told you, I walked away from it.

It doesn't matter. She has a copy of the deal with your name on it.

So she blames me for those raids? Thony, I didn't do it.

I know, but she just blames you for everything and she wants you dead.

I need to get outta town.

Nadia, there's no way out. She's gonna find you.

But I need to go somewhere. Where did I leave the keys?

This can't be happening! This can't!

I just got my life back again!

I'm so sorry.

You need to talk to her. You need to help.

I tried, okay? Are you okay? Sit down.

- Just talk to her. - I tried. I am so sorry.

I'm sorry.

There's only one way out of this.

- I can make it painless. - What the hell?

Thony?

So you'll send the autopsy and death certificate straight to me?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry, I was unable to reach Miss Morales.

Your girl took care of it for us. Gotta say, I like her style.

Thank you, Atticus.

Where am I? What the hell?

Thony?

Thony, where am I?

What did you do?

I helped you die so you can live.

Thony?

Thony, what the hell happened? Is she dead?

No, but you're gonna help me make everyone believe that she is.

And how exactly am I supposed to do that?

Because you're FBI.

Why would I help you do this?

Because if you don't, the cartel's gonna kill her.

And if I do?

I will help you take Sin Cara down.

How?

I'm already on the inside. I can give you whatever you need.

All right then.

But don't think for one second that what she did was okay. It wasn't.

What'd you give her?

It's just a sedative. It slows your heart.

But we have to move fast

because the cartel is already sending someone to kill her.

Well, we know how to put on a good show.

Apparently.

Detective, I've got an ME finishing up inside,

but you should set up a perimeter.

No cars coming in or going out.

But this man, he's been cleared already. He's free to go.

- Thanks for comin' through, man. - You got it. I'm always here to play.

Yeah, she's good.

Here.

So everyone thinks I'm dead?

How? You can't fake a death certificate.

No, but he can.

This is Agent Jeremy Dolan.

You mean he's FBI?

Wait a minute.

So you were the one who was working with the feds this whole time?

No, no, I didn't know. He was a plant.

But when Thony found out, she insisted that I help you.

To protect you. So it's official...

You're deceased.

So Ramona is no longer after me.

No, you're free.

How am I free, Thony? You just took my whole life from me.
