The Cleaning Lady (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Icebox - full transcript

Previously on
The Cleaning Lady...

We're gonna need
a little more time

to get our funds together
to purchase this hotel.

How much more time do you need?

- Do you recognize that guy?
- No.

I'm being raided by Feds.

You have to get my laptop
out of Lexi's room.

Trust me,
you do not want the FBI

to know what's in my laptop.

FBI!





You pull this off
for Hayak,

he won't be able to say no

to making you an equal partner
in the hotel.

He's been thinking
about his legacy,

how I'm a big reason
his business is so successful.

Lying to a federal agent
is a felony.

I could deport you for that.

I clean for Mr. Morales.

I want you to be
my eyes and ears

inside Arman's organization.

That's it. I got her.

All right. Let's go.

Hands behind your back.

♪ They just wanna,
oh, girls ♪



Let's go!
This way!

I want a line straight back.



All right.
Step right up here.

Arms up!

Once you've been searched,
your zip-ties will be removed.

All belongings must go
into the paper bags.

Quickly.
All shoelaces must be removed.

Come on, we don't have all day.

Let's go.

Walk in an orderly fashion.

Empty your pockets.

Everything in there.
Go ahead and take it out.

Next.

Everything must come
out of your pockets.

All belongings must go
into the paper bags.

No belts, shoelaces.

Everybody stay
in a single wire line.

I've got five
headed over to the icebox.

We broke a record.

Over a hundred
illegals overnight.

I can't believe
this is happening.

We're gonna
get through this, Fi.

Ma'am, excuse me.
We need to check on our kids.

Get in.
- Do we have a call?

All right, we got five
more coming down your way!

Jaz will be worried.

I-I promised I'd take her
to her basketball game.

I should be picking my kids up
from the sitter.

I'm never late.

Okay. Let's just sit for now.

Okay? Let's go there.

It's freezing in here.

She called it an icebox
for a reason.

Let me see your hand.

Is it broken?

And dislocated.

Sir?

Excuse me.

We need help.
My friend has a broken finger.

Olea! Step away.

We said her finger's broken!

They--they don't give a crap.

- I think I'm gonna puke.
- Okay.

Just breathe through it,okay?

Stay with her.
I'll get some supplies.

You know, one time,
I fell off a ladder

and dislocated my shoulder,
and Thony did her thing

and fixed it
like nothing happened.

- We're gonna be okay.
- Okay?

I'm gonna pop your finger
back in place.

Just bite down on this.

Fi, libangin mo muna siya.



Um, Gabby,

remember that time
we worked at the Chippendales?



Better?



Thank you.



Chris. Chris! Hey!

Mom and Auntie T aren't home.

Stop. Get out!

Auntie T said she'd be back
to take care of Luca.

And Mom promised
she'd take me to my playoffs.

And you believed her?

She's probably
out partying again.

No. Something's not right.
Their phones are off.

Both of them.

- Seriously?
- The eggs are frozen.

It's disgusting.

Hey!

Gabby, we'll get through this
together, okay?



Hi.



- Esther.
- Okay.

Hi, Esther.
How far along are you?

Thirty-nine weeks.

I was on my way to the clinic
when I got pulled over.

Where does it hurt?
My back.

I'm a doctor.
Do you mind if I examine you?

Uh-huh.

Are your legs tingling,
like pins and needles?

Mm-hmm.

She needs an external
cephalic version.

A what?

Excuse me!
Can somebody help us?

- Can't you help her?
- Not without a sonogram.

The umbilical cord could be
wrapped around the baby's neck.

Help! Help!

LV3-165!

What?

I said LV3-165.
Look at your damn wristbands!

3-162.

Yeah, it's me.
I'm right here.

Come with me.

N-no, wait.

You can't just take her.

Ma'am, that pregnant woman
here needs help.

You need to call an ambulance.

The medic already checked her.

Can do this the easy way
or the hard way.

- No, no. No.
- Fi. Fi.

Where are you taking me?

Stand back.

What--what's going on, huh?

It's okay.

I'm gonna be okay.



Mahal kita, beshie!

Mahal kita, sis.



What are you gonna do with me?
Huh? Why am I here?



Ahh!

How can you treat us
like this?

I don't make the rules.

Just my job to follow orders.

Until you decide it isn't.

How you doing, Thony?

You okay?

How...

You did this?

No, Thony.

You did.

I need to know what you were
doing in that hotel room

and how Councilman Knight
ended up dead.

He's dead? How?

Well, my best guess,

the prison hit was ordered
by your buddy Arman.

No one's saying
it's your fault.

You made me record him.
Maybe.

But I didn't send you
into that hotel room.

So who did? Why?

Come on, Thony.

Don't strain yourself
with more lies.

Just tell me the truth,
and I can get you out of here.

I was asked to get a laptop

from his hotel room,
that's all.

Well, that is
obstruction of justice.

So forget deportation.

I mean,
that could be jail time.

But maybe I can help you out
if you can tell me

what you know
about Knight's murder.

Nothing!

And you can't
hold us hostage like this.

Actually, I can.

Okay, fine.

But you let Fiona and Gabby go.

They have nothing
to do with this.

That's right, they don't,

which is why
you'll go back to work

and get Arman talking
while you're wearing this.

It's not as nice
as your Buddha,

but it picks up
the faintest whisper.

I can't.

If you want your friends out,
I think you can.



Okay. Okay.

But not until
that pregnant woman in there

goes to a hospital,
or she and her baby could die.

Fine, I'll make sure
she's taken out of here.



But your sister-in-law
won't be so lucky

if you don't go back to Arman
and do what you promised to do.

Understood?



Like our special ops
days, right?

Those were the best,
am I right, huh?

You sure her friends
are gonna be okay in here?

Come on, brother.
This is my watch.

I'm the police, judge,
and enforcer here.

I decide who goes
where, when, and how.

I know, I'm just making sure
they're not getting deported.

It's just a tactic, okay?

Yeah, sure. You got it.
I got you.

Hey, beers on me next time,
Davis.

I need to go check on the kids.



My friends.

If success was measured
by the distance traveled,

we are far from home today.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Thank you for closing this deal

and for helping me build

the Barsamian legacy.

- Cheers.
- Cheers, Hayak.

After so many years,
you two finally did it.

Felicidades.

Thanks.

We're so proud of you, Dad.

And thank you, Arman.

And thank you, Hayak,
for your generosity, really.

Isabel and I are so excited

to partner with you
in this hotel.



- Daddy, didn't you...
- No.



You know, you and Nadia

have done wonders
with this club.

This is where I need you.

Hayak, we talked about
running this hotel together.

No, you talked about it.

I've made my decision.

The hotel and casino
are going to Isabel and Ben

as a wedding present.

Now, let's not spoil
the celebration.

Cheers.



I deadbolted the doors.

If anyone knocks,
we use a red card

in case it's ICE.

We should call Miss Kopetka.

She's the first one
in our emergency contacts.

Our neighbor
who looks like a witch?

She died...like, years ago.

Oh, yeah.

Look, you're wiggin' out
over nothing.

Chris, what if they're
really missing?

How are we gonna go to school

and take care of Luca
and pay the bills?

Just chill, all right?

You know this isn't normal.

Relax.

I'll call
the immigration lawyer, okay?

Chris?
- Auntie T!

- Told you.
- Jaz!

Auntie T!

Mommy.

Where's Mom?
Is she okay?

She's okay, right?
Yeah.

Listen.
I am sorry.

There was a raid,
and they took us both.

ICE still has her.

I'm so sorry.

- Where is she?
- I'm so sorry.

I need to see her!

Come here, come here,
come here, come here.

I'm so sorry...

So is she gone?

No. No, no, no, no.

And I'm gonna do everything
I can to get her back.

Just have to stay strong
and work together.



Hey, baby.

Mommy, what's wrong?

Oh, I am just sad
because I have a second shift,

and I can't come in
and snuggle with you.



How are you feeling anyway?

- Like a T. rex! Rawr!
- Like a T. rex?

Wow. That's strong!
You know what that means?

It means your new stem cells
are working!

Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. Okay.

Mommy has to go,

but you listen to Chris
and to Jaz, okay?

- Okay, Mom.
- Come here.

Mak srolanh kon.

Mahal kita, Mommy.



Yeah, I love you.

No, you didn't ask Hayak
when I told you to!

Honey, it wouldn't
have made a difference.

All right, he's already
made up his mind.

This place is still important.

This where we close deals.

- We forge relationships--
- As the help.



At least now we know
where we stand.



- Isabel.
- Hey.

What are you doing?
We thought you had left.

Well, since
I was already here,

I thought I'd just take
a look at the books.

Who's your accountant?

We take care
of our own accounting.

Yeah,
I'm afraid it shows.

I mean, the sales
somehow exceed the inventory.

It's hard to spot
unless you know where to look,

but I mean,
from an IRS standpoint,

it might look like
you're cooking the books.

Isabel, we--

we sell Cuban cigars here.

Yeah, that'll change.

I mean, you could get
arrested or shut down

for selling contraband cigars.

And even taking that
into account, I mean,

it still doesn't add up.
Huh.

I'm sorry,
I-I should've asked you first.

I was just excited
to get going here.

No, we'll schedule something.
We'll look over everything.

We'll figure this out,
all right?

Right now,
I'm gonna walk you out.

Sure.
We can do this another time.







Don't worry, I'll get it.



Are you okay?

I work so hard to make sure
everything is in place,

and then people come in

and they--and they
just mess it all up.

I can relate.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.
I did this.

It's my fault.
You can leave it.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
I was just kidding.

That's my job.

I can see how hard
your work is.

Managing this place
doesn't look easy.

Yeah.

Who knows if I'll have a job

once Hayak's little princess
takes over.

Oh, you mean the lounge?

Everything.



- Drinking alone?
- Not anymore.

Come on.

Come on, it's just one drink.

Come on, sit down.

I couldn't help
but overhear there--

there might be
some changes around here?

- We'll see.
- I take it Isabel

doesn't know all the ways
Hayak makes money.

You got that right;
she's got no idea

what actually goes on here,
and it's becoming very clear

that I don't have
a future here.

So...

I'm sorry.
What am I doing?

I'm-I'm complaining
about my problems

when you're--you're fighting
for your kid's life

every single day.

Everyone has problems.

How is Luca?
How is he doing?

Good.
The bone marrow worked.

We're just hoping
that his improved immunity

will strengthen his liver

so he won't need
the transplant.

I-I guess what I'm asking
is how is he feeling?

Is he--is he sad?

Or, like, is--
is he aware of it all?

No.

He's never known anything else.

This morning, he was playing
with his dinosaurs.

Just like any other day.

That's kids.

No. It's not kids.

That's Luca.



Just after everything
he's been through,

he's an amazing boy,
isn't he?



I think so.

And thanks to you,
he's still alive.

I'm just glad I got to do
something good for once.



Okay, all right.

Come on. Come on.

You don't--you don't usually
just sit and talk.

Tell me why
you're really here.



What are you doing?



Uh...
I have to tell you something.

I should've told you sooner,
but I was just very scared.

The FBI is onto you.

I made a big mistake.

I went to Theo's funeral,
and they followed me home.

They've been pressuring me
for information about you,

but I haven't
told them anything.

But because of that,
they took Fiona,

and now they'll deport her
if I don't give them something.

I have to get her back,

but I don't wanna hurt you.

They think you killed Theo
and Councilman Knight,

and they're not gonna stop
until they get answers.

How could you have done that?

I trusted you.

We can work together,
just give them something,

anything to get them
off our backs--

Get out of here!
Get out!







All right, all right.

All right.

Just--just give me
the recording

and we'll call it a day.

There isn't one!

He knew I was asking
too many questions.

But you came close?
What'd he say?

Nothing.

So please, just let
Fiona and Gabby go now!

Look, Thony, you and I,

we're the only ones
that can stop Arman

and the rest of them
from hurting someone else.

And who's stopping you
from hurting me and my family?

Huh?



You think
that guard will tell us

where they took Thony?

They're not gonna
tell us jack.

They won't even
give us a call.

God, I hope
my kids are okay.

Yeah... I mean,
this--this isn't helping.

Close your eyes.

If I close my eyes,
I'll fall asleep

and wake up in Tijuana.

Come on. Just do it. Okay.

- It's a breezy summer day.
- What?

It's called
"take me somewhere else."

It's a game I used to play
with the kids

to get them to sleep.

Okay? Just focus.

Where do you wanna go, huh?
Pick a place. Anywhere.

Uh... Italy.

I've always wanted
to go there.

It's a breezy summer day
in Italy

and we're wearing
cute summer dresses

as we walk down
a cobblestone street.

We step out on a busy--
on a little seaport,

busy with locals.

We fill our baskets
with fresh fruit when--

Two sexy fishermen
stroll up to us

and say, "Bellissimas!"

They're tall and dark
and buff...

- Mm-hmm.
- From working out at sea.

They grab our hands
and take us away

and we don't have a clue
what they're saying--

- Does it matter?
- No.

But I know they're gonna take
real good care of us...

Oh, yeah, they will.

Everyone, sit down!

Wait to be called!

Hey, what's going on?

Line up by the gate
as I call your number.

The deportation buses are here.

LV-086.

LV-055.

LV-076.

You know we pay people
to do that now, right?

If you want things done right,

you've got to do it yourself.

Is that what you told Isabel?

She's going through our books.

She's counting
every single decimal point.

She's seeing things
she shouldn't be seeing.

- Uh-huh.
- Or is that what you want?

The more she knows,

the harder it's gonna be
to keep her clean.

I mean, I--I thought
you didn't want her

to have anything
to do with crime.

I've made my decision, Arman.

Did you tell her
we launder money at the club?

That we're planning
on doing the same thing

at the hotel and casino?

Let it go, Arman.

Hayak, just give her
another business

and partner with me on this.

I have plenty of money saved
for part of the down payment.

What money
are you talking about?

The money I gave you?

The money I earned!

Oh, this is how you see it?

If it wasn't for me,
you would be sweating

under the hot sun
like your father.

I gave you your life,

your house, your cars,
your money, your women.

I gave you everything, Arman,

but it's seems
it's never enough for you.

What else do you want from me?
Huh?

Hayak, I didn't mean
to offend you.

I-I simply came to warn you.

Isabel is gonna come to you
with a lot of questions.

It's not gonna be long

before she actually finds out
how you make money.

Maybe you should do
a better job at hiding it.



Okay, I will.

Good.



Get in. Close the door.

Sit down.

What'd you tell the Feds?

- Nothing!
- Tell them about Theo?

Tarik would be in jail
if I did!

What did you tell them
about me?

I never said anything

because you're the only one
who helped me with my son.



Hayak runs guns
from his shipping company.



Now, I've done
some terrible things

to help him build his empire.

Things I never thought I'd do.

That's all
about to change now.



This is Councilman Knight's
laptop.

The one you took
from the hotel room.

I've scrubbed most of it,
but what's left there

should be enough
to get Fiona back.



All right, look at me.
Look at me.



I'm going to work with you,

but I get to decide
what you give the FBI.

Do you understood me?

I'm not going down.

Yeah.

Knight's laptop,
where is it now?

I dug it out of the dumpster
behind the club.

But you're not getting it
until you release them today.

But that's not gonna happen.
Okay?

You get me Knight's laptop,
then they go free.

Don't you think you've caused
enough harm already?

I'm not the bad guy here.

You sure about that?

Fine, you can see them.

They're not walking out
until I can verify

that laptop
hasn't been wiped clean.

If I'm sent away, I'm not sure
where Chris and Jaz would go.

Maybe Jaz's dad,
if he'd even take them.

My sister lives in Texas,

but I don't know
how I'd get them there.

If I get out, I'll help
your kids get to your sister.

And I'll do the same
for your kids.

Okay.

Hey, come here.

Are we being released?



Okay, this way.
Come on, hurry up.

You'll be next.



Kuya!

That's right.
It's you and me today, buddy.

You know what time it is?
It's time to...

rawr!

Oh, I hate that.
Come on.

You want to be big and strong
like me, right?

Yeah? That's what I thought.
All right, bud.



You spilled again!



Hey. Hey. Hey.



Boop, boop!



Hello?

This is a collect call

from the Clark County

Immigration
Detention Facility.

Will accept the charges?

Yes!

Jaz! It's Mom!

Mom?

Put her on speaker.

Mom, are you okay?

I'm better now.

Listen.

I left some money
under my mattress, okay?

The rent is due on the 5th,

and all the bills
are all online.

Jaz, call your dad
and tell him what's going on.

Chris, call that
immigration attorney, please.

We did, but he said
he couldn't do anything.

What? But he took my money!

It's okay, Ma,
we'll figure it out.

I love you.

I'm so sorry.

I-I didn't want this, okay?

I love you both.

No matter what happens,
always remember that.

We love you, too, Mom.

We'll--we'll get you out, okay?

Auntie T is doing
everything she can to help.

Wait--wait. Thony's out?
Put her on.

LV-162! You're up.
- Put her--

Okay. They're coming.
Just tell Thony--

She's not here right now,
but she's--

Mom.

I have a name!

And I don't care what it is.
It's time to go.

- Now move it!
- Am I being released?

My sister-in-law
who came with me, she's out.

Hmm?

- Just--just tell me!
- Let's go.



All right, go ahead.



You hang tight
while I get them.

- Are you leaving me here?
- You can't come in here.



Well, hurry, then.



Hey, where's Davis?

Yeah, can you hold on one sec?

He went home sick,
so I'm covering.

I'm here for Fiona De La Rosa
and Gabby Martinez.

Do you know where they are?

I'm sorry, who?





Davis, I'm at your office,
call me back.



- They can't find them.
- What?

They don't know them
by their names.



Excuse me.

We're looking for LV-3160
and LV-3162.

They were moved
for deportation.

You did this.
You fix it now.



You did what?

It's not my fault.

Davis said he had everything
under control.

Your buddy Davis
was too dumb to be FBI

and too much of an ass
to be a cop.

What were you thinking?

Yeah, I screwed up,
but it worked.

Thony has Knight's laptop.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

She's in the conference
room now,

but she's not handing it over,

not until I find
her sister-in-law.

Look, I'll call my contact
at Homeland Security,

but I'm not lifting a finger

until that laptop
is in my hands.

And if you pull something
like this again,

I'm gonna have to report you,
understood?

Yeah.

Detainees, stand by!

Give your number
to the correctional officers

before boarding
your designated bus.

In formation. Move it!

This is it, Fi.
We're being deported.



Whoa. Hold up.

You're in the wrong line.
No.

This line is for Mexico.
No, no.

- Yeah.
- No!

We're together!

- No. Come on.
- No!



Gabby!

I'll see you in Italy, huh?



Look, I'm sorry.

I know there's nothing
I can say to--

No, there isn't.

It's salvageable.

Did you find Fiona and Gabby?

I made a few calls.

The good news is they found
one of your girls.

Which one?
I don't know.

But the other one was deported.

- Hey!
- What did Hayak say to you?

Look, honey,
this is gonna take some time.

You're gonna have
to trust me on this.

So you did nothing? Hmm?

Why don't you go kiss
Hayak's ring a few more times?

Maybe you'll finally
become a real boy.

What's your problem?
I've got a plan here.

Oh, you have a plan?

You, always
with some brilliant plan

that puts Hayak before us.

I'm leaving.



You see anything?

No, I can't see a thing.
