The Cleaning Lady (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Crown - full transcript

Needing a way out, Thony tries to make a deal with Garrett to save herself and help Arman, but Arman doesn't trust any promises made by the FBI. A sting operation is hatched, but Arman's distrust leads it off course.

Previously
on "The Cleaning Lady..."

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

Just let her do her job.
You might learn something.

You don't know how bad
it got before we came here.

We almost lost our home.
Our car got repossessed.

Our friends
stopped talking to us.

I think
you should go back home.

No. I won't be separated
from my son again.

I have to face Hayak.

He's way too dangerous.

He knows he didn't kill me.



Wanna play a game?

You're gonna pretend
Dara is your mommy.

And if we get separated,

we're gonna have to race
to see who gets back first.

Can you step out
of the car, please?

Thony De La Rosa,

you have the right
to remain silent.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Thony!

Sit.

Okay.

Thony, Thony!

What are you doing?
You're going without me?



I have to take Luca now,
Marco.

No, no. We wait
until my visa comes through.

I can't wait.

You know how hard it was
to find a donor.

No, he's my son too.
We do this together!

No. Ah--no.

Stop!

Thony! Thony!

Thony!

Thony!

Thony!

Thony.

Thony De La Rosa.

Get up.
Let's go.

I don't know
what else you think I can do.

I told you everything.

According
to Special Agent Miller,

you've been working both sides,

feeding us false information.

If you need reminding,
that is obstruction of justice,

lying to a federal agent,
aiding and abetting.

Look,
I think she gets the point.

It's prosecutable crimes.

It could carry sentences
of two to five years each.

- I need to get back to my son.
I don't think

you quite understand
what's happening here.

We're not talking about
deportation anymore.

If you don't help us
with this case now,

you're going to jail.

Don't look at him.

If he can't make an arrest

before the ATF seizes the guns,

we are terminating Special
Agent Miller from the FBI.

- Miller will take you home now.

Check in with your family,

and then get back in contact
with Arman Morales.

We know that
he hasn't moved the guns.

So find out what's going on.

And don't even think about
leaving the country.

You will be arrested.

If you don't fully comply,

you will be locked up
for a very long time.

I got the message
you sent to my home.

You didn't have to kill Carlos.
He had nothing to do with this.

You could have told me
what you were really doing.

You chose not to.

You found a buyer.
You negotiated price.

You betrayed me.

When you gave that hotel
to Isabel and Ben,

you betrayed me.

All this talk
about us becoming partners.

Never enough. Always more.

I came here to settle things
with you.

You're in no position
to negotiate.

You have nothing.
You are nothing.

I would disagree.

I still have the buyer.

And he'll only deal with me.

So here's my offer.

I sell the guns,
and you take all the money.

All I'm asking in return
is Nadia and I walk.

That's $6 million
in exchange for our lives.

And Nadia and I run the club
until the deal is closed.

Then we're out.

I did not
like that game, Mommy.

I know, peanut.

We're never, ever gonna
be separated like that again.

- Okay?
- Okay.

But Mommy's got to go to work.

So you sleep now?

- Okay.
- Yeah?

I love you, peanut.

I love you.

Just remember
what she went through.

It worked.
Luca's going to be okay.

Why can't you guys
just stay here?

And live a life of a TNT?

No. I want more for my son.

Thony.

Thony.
We need to talk, Thony.

We will, just not now.

I need to find post-op meds
for Luca.

The hospital only gave us
enough to last for the week.

Which is why
we should go home,

where we can get Luca
what he needs.

I told you,
I can't leave the country.

They'll arrest me.

I'll be back
before you go to work.

No problem.

Can you call Samentha
and find out the number

of this guy
she buys insulin from?

Sure. Good luck.

Thanks.

You had so many chances
to tell me about the FBI.

And now it's too late.

There was nothing
you could have done.

That's not the point.

You could have included me
in your life.

Why don't you just give this
guy up and be done with it?

Why are you protecting him
instead of us?

Luca is alive because of Arman.

♪ ♪

Can I help you with anything?

Where do you think
you're going?

Maybe Arman
forgot to tell you,

but your services are no longer
needed here at the club.

I just need to talk to him.

Your little boy, he's okay?

Yes.

Then you already got what
you wanted from my husband.

Now leave us alone.

Hey, Thony.
Would you come on back, please?

Por favor ya.

♪ ♪

How are you?

I'm all right.

And how's Luca?

He's gonna be fine.

What about you?

I was able to work
something out with Hayak

to do the gun deal with him,

but I'm gonna need your help
to get the Feds off my back.

You can't do that.

They know where the guns are.

Both the FBI and the ATF
are watching the bar now.

And how the hell
did they find that out?

I don't know.

But if you try
to move the guns,

they'll arrest you.

Thony, if I don't
close this deal

and get Hayak his money,

I mean, he'll finish me.

Maybe there's another way.

What if I could help you
make a deal with the FBI?

You could
help them arrest Hayak,

and maybe they'll let you go.

That's not gonna happen,
Thony.

Then Hayak will kill you

and the Feds will put me
in jail.

Wait, what--what
do you mean?

You have nothing
to do with this.

When you couldn't get me
out of Mexico,

I had to call Garrett.

He didn't have
the right paperwork,

tried to smuggle me back,

and we got caught
at the border.

Arman, they know I've been
lying to them, okay?

And now they're forcing me

to help them set up
a sting operation.

And set me up.

Yes.

But if we give them
Hayak instead--

How am I supposed to work
with the FBI, Thony?

Isn't that what you want?
To be free from him?

Not that way.

What other choice do we have?

No. That is not what we agreed.

Arman is a criminal.

He killed Knight.
He killed my last informant.

He's not getting away
with that.

Wait, who was your informant?

Theo.

And I didn't do
enough to protect him.

I am not gonna let Arman walk
after what he did to him.

Arman didn't kill Theo.

Whether he pulled the trigger

or had of one of his boys
do it, it's all the same.

No, it's not.

Hayak's son killed Theo
and Arman tried to stop him.

And it was over a fixed fight.
It had nothing to do

- with him being an informant.
- All right, okay.

Is that what Arman told you
to say?

No, I saw it.

Theo was a good man...

and I had to clean his blood
off the floor to stay alive.

That's what
I've had to deal with.

And Arman saved my life
that night.

So don't ask me to betray him.
I won't.

Work with him.

He can help you get Hayak.

Come on, Thony.

I mean, you really think that
he's gonna give up his boss?

The reason
I got stuck in Mexico

is because Hayak tried
to kill him.

I really think he's gonna
make a deal with you.

All right,
if we're gonna do this,

I need to be
the one calling the shots.

I know too many people who got
burned doing deals like these.

- Yeah.

Arman.
Thanks for meeting.

That's all this is.

Um, shall we sit?

You can sit here.

You cooperate with us,
we can work something out.

Who said I'm cooperating?

I'm here because of her.
That's all.

As you know,
we've got eyes on the guns.

Any movement of those weapons
will result in an arrest.

It doesn't have to be you.

Hmm.

If we can't
figure it out together,

we all lose.

Arman, please.

How would this work?

You help us out
with the sting.

We get Hayak, your gun buyer,

and everything seized
in the raid.

You...get to walk away

a free man.

No wires, no recording devices,
not on me.

When all this is over,
Thony gets to walk too.

No more working
as an informant.

Sounds like a win-win-win
to me.

♪ ♪

This is seriously sketchy.

All right.

- Thanks, Vinny.
Yep.

Hope you get what you need.

Thanks, Sam.

So, you're looking
for an antiviral, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- I got acyclovir.

And also
the immunosuppressant.

Yeah, I got it.

But...
this took some legwork.

I'm gonna have to charge you
double what I told Samentha.

It's fine.

I'll take
everything you've got.

Also got new batch
of antipsychotics.

Why you looking at me?

You really think I haven't
thought this through, Nadia?

How would I know?
You didn't discuss it with me.

Instead you decided to talk

about our future
with the cleaning lady.

She's giving us a way
through this.

It's the only way we can get
our hands on those guns

and close this deal with Noah.

There are other ways.

But you chose the way that's
gonna get us both killed.

If not by Hayak,

then anyone else
who finds out you're a rat.

Nobody's gonna put
that together, Nadia.

I'll make sure of that.

You promised me you'd
cut her out of our lives.

Not now, Nadia.

- Noah.
- Arman.

So good to see you.

Wow. You clean up well.

Nadia. Always a pleasure.

So Noah,

I want to apologize
for the delay.

It's not the way
I like to do business.

And we're all set
to deliver the inventory now.

But there's a sticking point.

I have a boss and my boss wants
to control the transaction.

He wants to be sure
we're at a secure location.

Arman, I get it.

You can't be too careful.

But, see, my sticking point
is that

things are starting to feel
a little too...unpredictable.

Missing deadlines,
radio silence.

- Yeah.
Makes me uncomfortable.

Well, you're right, you know.

I haven't been
completely honest with you.

I promised more
than I could deliver.

Look,
we've been suffering the same

post-pandemic
supply line shortages--

Babe.
This isn't about the details.

This is about trust.

I understand how you feel.

It's--it's hard to trust
after you've been lied to.

Noah,
please accept our apology,

and know that Arman
is a man of his word.

We have the full shipment now.

Okay.

All right.

But for my time and delay...

I want a better deal.

I'll tell you what,
you throw in a case

of your carbon-neutral bourbon,

I'll take off 5%.

You got it.

Where the hell
did you get these?

Vincent? Fred?

You don't even know
what's really in these bottles.

All the pills are stamped.
You can see that.

All right peanut, here you go.

- Mmm--
- What?

It's yucky.

They didn't have syrup
this time.

Try again, okay?

Come on.
You gotta drink it, buddy.

You don't want
to get sick again, do you?

No.

All right.

Okay.
I'll put more juice in it.

I'll be right back.

Picky monster.

This is crazy.
You know that, right?

We need to go home.

What about Fiona?

Chris, Jaz?

They're our home too.

And you've seen
how happy he is.

You really wanna take him
away from his family here?

So you're saying
you want to stay.

You've decided that now.

I'm saying we need
to talk about it.

That's all.

Let me guess, that's him?

You sure
he's not the real reason

you want to stay in Vegas?

Make sure Luca drinks this.

And please don't put
any thoughts in his head

about leaving.

We need to decide this
together.

♪ ♪

Hey.
- Hi.

Thanks for meeting me here,
Isabel.

Yeah, of course.
What's going on?

So I looked into
the paperwork for you

And your name's still tied to
all your father's businesses,

including the trucking company.

Did you speak with him?

He told me his lawyers
were working on it.

Yeah, well, they're not.

So he's still lying to me then.

I'm sure your father just wants
to provide for you.

But if the FBI ever caught up
with him,

you'd be implicated too,
Isabel.

Okay.
So what is it, Arman?

I mean, what does he ship
out of those trucks?

Guns.

Your father's
an illegal arms dealer.

He ships them across the US,
Mexico, Armenia.

It's an international
operation.

Oh, God.

For how long?

Since before I started
working for him.

And my name is attached
to all of it?

Maybe it won't be a problem.

I just wanted to let you know,
because I care about you.

And I don't want you to go down
for your father's crimes.

No, I--I can't let that happen.

I know of a way
you can protect yourself.

Hey.

You hear from Thony yet?

Nope.

And she's ignoring my calls.

You really think Morales
is gonna deliver Barsamian?

If he doesn't,

you still firing me?

I can probably dump you
on surveillance

with the rest
of the broken wings.

Yeah.
I'd rather be fired.

What do you want from me,
Miller?

My sympathy?

Oh, I'd settle for friendship.

That's manipulative.

And you know it.

We are friends,

and you took advantage of that,

of me.

I--

Garrett's been calling me.

I'm sure he wants to know
what the plan is.

I'll let you know when and
where the deal's going down.

But you should also know,

I'm not letting the FBI
take everything from me.

If you go back on the deal,
we'll both be arrested.

Worse--you could be killed.

That's true whether I do
what they want me to do or not.

So I came up with my own plan.

That's not what you agreed to.

I'm not gonna trust the FBI
to do what they promise.

I've seen it happen
too many times.

So what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna use that
to my advantage.

Arman--

You asked me once
if I trust you.

I'm asking you now,
do you trust me?

I do.
