The Cleaning Lady (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Full On Gangsta - full transcript

Previously
on The Cleaning Lady...

Marco?

We've got some responses
we put up

looking for liver donors.

I could really use that $20,000

to get through
my last year of college.

We're really glad you're here.
You were the only match.

We're gonna unload these guns
up at that farm.

What about Hayak?

I'll tell him
once things cool down.

I'm making moves, Nadia.



I'm selling Hayak's guns
without him knowing.

You and I walk away
with $6 million.

There was an underground fight.

The man in charge of it
thought I did a good job.

He's offered to pay
for the surgery.

So you've already taken
his money?

You know I had that hunch

that Arman moved something
before the raid?

If they're watching me,
they're probably Noah too.

Thony, I'm gonna have
to call off this deal.

I can't afford the surgery
without it.

Did you talk
to your Pinay nurse friends

about where to do the surgery?

One of them mentioned Mexico.



Once we cross the border,
we can never come back.

It's $20,000. It's gone.

I'm sorry, okay?

I was only trying to help Luca.

And I was.

I was up over 100 Gs
before I had a bad run.

You're an addict, Marco.

Even if you had won
all that money,

I wouldn't want it.

Oh, but you have no problem
taking money

from a gangster, do you?

I'm Luca's father.

I'm not gonna have
some other man

taking care of my kid,
or my wife.

This isn't about Arman.

You sure about that?

Don't put the blame
on me, okay?

This is about you
and your gambling issues.

Whatever.

I'm so sick of constantly
being judged by you.

You're not always right,
you know?

I was right about one thing.

It was a mistake for you
to come to Vegas.

I think you should
go back home.

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

Do you think
you're helping Luca? Hmm?

You stole $20,000
from your son.

I can't trust you anymore.

♪ ♪

That's 25 grand.

I saved it for Luca.

♪ ♪

Hey.

Marco's sleeping it off
in my room.

Great.

What he did was wrong,

but at least he kept
the money for Luca.

Isn't that progress?

It's not just about the money.

It's about who he's become.

Look, I wanna slap some sense
into him too,

but maybe he just needs
our support right now.

Well, that doesn't help, Fi.

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

We almost lost our home
because he gambled away

the money for the mortgage
and didn't tell me.

Our car got repossessed.

Our friends stopped
talking to us

because he borrowed money
and never paid them back.

Each time, he begged
for another chance,

only to do it again.

♪ ♪

So that's it?

You're just gonna
give up on him?

All I can think of
is Luca right now.

If I don't find a way

to get him a liver transplant,
he'll die.

So Marco, our marriage,

I can't think about it
right now.

Hey.

You're letting the ATF
take over the gun raid, huh?

The F stands for "firearms."
This is sort of their bag.

Yeah, but if they roll there
like a bunch of good ol' boys

on a beer run,
my case goes up in smoke.

Hey, look,
I need more time, all right?

I need more time
to link the guns

to Arman and the Barsamians,
or I've got nothing.

Look, these interagency
pissing matches

aren't easy to navigate.

-My hands are tied.
-Come on, Katherine.

I've been working
this case for months.

I need it to go my way.

Please.

-I'll see what I can do.
-Yes. All right. Great.

Okay, look,
all I need is enough time

to get Thony to lure Arman
to the farmhouse,

and then ba-bam, busted.

Do you have a minute?

Yeah.

So there's a hospital in Mexico

that will do Luca's surgery
for $40,000.

It won't be a problem
to get there,

but coming back...

You'd get picked up
at the border.

Yeah.

Could you talk
to your friend Bosco,

see if he'd be willing
to smuggle us over?

I'm not comfortable
with you doing that.

No, traveling with coyotes
is not safe.

It's the only option there is.

Will your husband be with you?

No.

There's something else.

I only have 25,000,

and 20,000 of that is for Dara,

Luca's liver donor.

I said I'd cover
Luca's surgery.

Even without your deal
going through?

Well, with the Feds
watching me,

I can't move forward
on anything.

Things are gonna be
a little bit tight for a while,

but I can cover that.

Okay.

The FBI can't watch you
in Mexico, can they?

♪ ♪

Hey, you're right. They can't.

Maybe I can still do
the gun deal down there.

If you could be ready
by morning,

I could take us
there and back by jet.

The customs guy at the hangar
is in our back pocket.

I don't even know
how to thank you.

Consider this my way
of thanking you, right?

This might be the answer
to both our problems.

♪ ♪

I think I know how we can
still make it to Curaçao.

-Spare me your empty promises.
C'mon, Nadia.

Please just--just listen to me.

All right, we could still make
this deal with Noah in Mexico.

The Feds don't have
jurisdiction down there.

-But they've got friends there.
-So do I.

I could fly down there
under the radar,

line things up
with my old connections,

and funnel the guns
across the border.

You think Noah will
agree to that?

His bunker's in Chile.

It's easier to move the guns
from Mexico to South America.

Babe, we can still
make millions here.

We can get what we deserve.

What about the cleaning lady?

Are you still gonna give her
$1/2 million of our money?

Come here.

Everything we make
from the sale

will be for our future.

We could disappear.

We could start new lives,

if that's what you still want.

♪ ♪

I'll pack a bag for Mexico.

Yeah, but I need you
to stay here

and manage the club

so everything appears normal
to Hayak.

Okay.

What if he asks where you are?

You can tell him my aunt died

and I had to help
with the arrangements.

Can you do that for us, babe?

Claro, Armando.

Just be careful.

Yeah.

You too.

♪ ♪

He's my son too.

I'm not gonna let you
take him to Mexico without me.

He needs me. I'm his father.

Then act like it.

Put his needs first.

Luca needs a stable,
calm environment to heal.

I can't risk you
jeopardizing that.

He's been through enough.

I think we both have.

You just don't wanna make
things uncomfortable

-for your boss.
-Come on.

Look who's ready
for his big adventure.

It's Luca.

Oh, let's go.

All right, let's do this.

Ah,buenos días.
- Buenos días.

Welcome to Prestige Wellness.

Right this way, señor.

This is a hospital?

It's the hotel
that services the hospital.

Well, feels like
a vacation to me.

Although a seriously
weird vacation.

Hey, don't worry, Peanut.

Come here, come here,

señorita.

- Let me grab that for you.
- Gracias.

Okay, now we're gonna go
get our room, yeah?

As you'll see,
we have the finest facilities

of any medical tourism
establishment in Mexico.

Oh, that's really nice,

but I'm just here
to get surgery for my son.

Of course.

But we believe in
a holistic approach to healing.

Serenity of the mind
equals harmony in the body.

Don't you think?

Well, it's been a long time

since I've had
serenity of the mind.

Then you should partake
in our full-service spa.

And you'll definitely want
to check out

our organic juice bar.

Are most of the procedures
here elective?

Not all, but a good portion
of our clients

do come for face-lifts,
tummy tucks, chin augmentation.

We cater to a very
prestigious clientele.

I thought it was mostly
life-saving procedures

for people who can't
afford treatment in the U.S.

I assure you, Mrs. De La Rosa,

underneath all the perks
is a top-notch hospital

with renowned doctors
in their fields.

Our priority is patient care.

I promise,
your son is in good hands.

This way.

Nadia.

Nadia.

Hayak.

Beautiful as always.

Surprised to see you here
so late.

Can I get you a drink?

We just got a case
of an exquisite Bordeaux.

No, thank you.

I've been looking for Arman.

I haven't been able
to reach him all day.

He got a call
early this morning.

His aunt passed away.

So he went
on behalf of his father

to help with the arrangements.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Which aunt?

Eduardo's sister, Ana.

Well, I'm sure they appreciate
him being there.

You should have gone with him.

Well, we thought
I should stay here,

make sure things run smoothly.

Thank you.

Please,
when you speak with him,

give him my condolences.

And if there is anything
I can do to help,

don't hesitate.

That will mean so much to him.

Thank you, Hayak.

No, thank you.
