THONY: Previously
on "The Cleaning Lady"...
You've been there a year now
since that donor backed out.
We're on
a donor registry, Marco.
We just have to be patient.
He sent me your visa.
It's expired.
I'm afraid we can't help you.
Check it out.
Your daughter's
gonna love it, Theo.
I'm just a cleaning lady.
I can help you
make this disappear.
Police have ID'd Theo's body.
I-I still have a cleaner inside.
The cleaner
who should already be dead?
- Do you trust me?
- Yeah.
(screams)
Where'd you learn
how to do that?
What are you... some kind
of doctor or something?
You want me to work
for you, protect me.
- I give you my word.
- PERSON: That's her.
PERSON 2: I'm calling
to schedule an appointment
for Luca.
Thank you for calling
the clinic for my son.
I want you on call.
This is your pay
for the other night
and a burner phone.
Why do you want me
to work for you?
'Cause I don't want to
have to kill you.
(indistinct chatter)
LUCA:
It's supposed to make noise.

Incoming.
Your dinosaur has no chance now.
(imitates rocket whooshing)
(imitates gun firing)
- Got ya!

Okay, you drink it now.
We got to go, Thony.
Yeah.
All right, peanut,
time for me to go to work
and you take a nap.
I don't want to take a nap.
But astronauts need their sleep
to become big and strong.
- Okay, Mommy.
- All right.
MAN ON RADIO:
Good morning, Vegas.
Here's a little something
to start your day.
W-where are my keys?
I-I know I put them here.
- Chris has them.
- What? Why?
He's just going around the block
He's not old enough to drive.
Actually, he is.
THONY:
I'm out of Luca's medicine.
The guy I buy from
hasn't called me back.
Can we swing
by his place after work?
Well, we can't even get to work
because Chris is driving my van
around Vegas without a license.
JAZ:
You don't have one either, Mom.
- Stay calm.
- (mutters softly)
- (keys jingling)
- Oh, you...
What the hell
are you thinking, huh?
You can't drive without me.
You won't even sign
my driver's ed form.
(music playing indistinctly
on radio)
Mom, I said sign it,
not use it as a coaster.
Well, I can't now because
we're going to be late,
thanks to you.

red shirt, not very tall.
It could be Jimmy.

Jimmy.
Were you heading out?
Arman, hey.
Yeah, heading to Reno
with this load, then back home.
Hey, Jimmy, why don't you
give it to me straight?
What is it? What?
Are we not paying you enough,
or we're not treating you right?
Arman, no.
Then how is it we're missing
some merchandise, Jimmy?
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Half a truckload of AKs
and AR-15s.
You made a big mistake, Jimmy.
Arman, please.
I never took nothing
from you before.
And, what, you're going
to shoot me now?
That's what you want to do?
You want to shoot me?
Come on, shoot.
No one steals from us, Jimmy.
You understand me?
Nobody steals from us!

She was right.
Jimmy had our guns.
Now we can close
this deal with Viktor

I told you we could trust her.
Thank you for your loyalty.
I hope your son recovers soon.

Wait up. Check this out.
What's this?
GARRETT: Boom.
RENEE: Is that Arman Morales?
With Thony and her kid.
They look pretty cozy,
don't they?
- They really do.
- Mm-hmm.
You think
they're sleeping together?
Well, whatever it is,
she lied to us,
which means
she's protecting him.
Okay. Then explain
that grin on your face.
I mean, after losing Theo,
I thought we'd have zero chance
of getting anyone else inside.
But Thony, she's already in.
That's if you can turn her.
Piece of cake.

I can't wait to hear how she's

Ooh. Neither can I.

Just until the symptoms clear

But... but... but
he's gonna be okay, right?
He almost didn't make it, Fi.
But he did, Thony.
And you... you made sure of that.

W-we'll make it through this.
