The Cleaning Lady

Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"...

I should be in there with him.

I'm his mother. It's my right.

As of today, your rights are under review.

Thony: My sister-in-law got deported to the Philippines

and I need her back with her son.

I can clean for you. I can make anything disappear.

Jorge: This is the deal you made, Thony.

You will do what is asked.

That's the flight information for your family,

along with details on the motel, the coyote.

You have to be careful out there.

Might not be as easy as we think.

Where is Arman? Your guess is as good as mine.

You're still protecting him?

I'm not interested in making any deals,

if that's what you're asking.

You need to be careful, Nadia.

Nadia: A guy showed up and threatened me.

He was Cartel, Thony.

From what he said, Arman could still be alive.

And if he is, we need to find him.

If we don't back off, they're gonna kill us all.

Okay, Jaz... Luca's asleep. There's curry in the fridge.

You text me if you need anything, okay?

Wait. Have you heard anything from my mom and Chris?

Uh, they might not have cell service where they are.

Well, then how do we know if they're okay?

They will be, Jaz. Don't worry.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Okay? See you after work.

So you guys made it okay?

Jaz and I was starting to be worried.

Fiona: Yeah, we're at the border now.

I mean, the reception sucks, but we're fine.

Yeah, except that it smells like wet dog.

These clothes aren't much better.

Oi, it's better than nothing.

Well, it's gonna get cold.

Hey, thanks for taking care of all of this, Thony.

Um, I'm sure the coyotes will be here soon, so...

Keep in contact, okay?

Hey, um, I want to help you pay for this.

I know it wasn't easy to set up.

Don't even think about it.

I worked out a trade. It's all covered.

It's one of those jobs?

Don't worry, okay?

How am I supposed to not worry?

I mean, it was one thing

when you were cleaning stuff for Arman.

But can you trust his connections?

I'll be fine, Fi.

I have to go. I can't be late for this job.

Okay, okay. I'll text you when I'm on the road, okay?

Mahal kita. Okay.

Hey, who are you?

Whoa! Easy, easy.

Your super called -- Mr. Ludlow.

He said someone reported a broken window.

I'm here to fix it.

I'm the handyman.

Hi.

Hi.

I know it's late and dark and this doesn't help.

I totally...get it.

Uh, my name's Jeremy.

Thony.

Sorry about this.

It's not for you to apologize for.

Yeah, well, someone should.

So please allow me to apologize

for all the ignorance out there.

You okay?

No, but I will be. Thank you for asking.

Yeah, no, I'm just glad your super got ahold of me.

Shouldn't have to deal with this crap.

Okay, I'm gonna make sure the door is boarded up

so no one else can get in here. I got this.

Okay.

Thank you.

Did Paolo give you his recipe for sinigang?

Mm-hmm.

You can probably find

all the things you need at the Island Market.

I mean, if not, you can swap one thing out for another.

And, um, I mean, Paolo can give you tips,

and maybe you can video chat so that you --

Stop, Mom. I don't want to talk about

my dad with you right now, all right?

De La Rosa. Fiona, Chris?

Uh, yes. That's us. We're ready.

- Telefonos. - Telefonos.

No, no, no, no, no, you can't take all of that.

One bag. Just a small one. So no se pueden llevar.

Okay, just give us time --

No tiempo. That truck's about to leave,

and you want to be on it.

Okay. Un minuto.

Sí, sí, sí.

Vamos. Let's go. You made it to the US.

Keep going. Go, go! Come on.

Not those.

These, all of them, by dawn.

Nothing left inside or outside.

No stench, no stain, no hair,

no fingernails, no fingerprints.

I don't want to see any signs of humans.

Got it. I'll wipe it all clean.

Anything left behind goes in here.

We're all supposed to fit in this one truck?

Move up.

Camila: iEllos dijeron que era suficiente!

O te dijeron mal o escuchaste mal.

Pero hemos vendido todo lo que teníamos.

Sólo alcanza para uno.

Por favor, conseguiremos trabajos...

What do you think's going on?

Seems like they don't have enough money for both of them.

No, no dejare a mi hija sola.

¿Quieres pagar de otra manera?

Chris!

Camila: iMama, no!

Hey, hey, hey.

Let me cover the other passage.

You think this is enough?

Come on, man, it's -- Just give them a break.

It's her mom. Look, there's still room, okay?

And if you don't take this, you'll lose money for both.

That what you want?

Better not be any trouble, hey?

Nice one, anak.

Come on, let's go.

Gracias.

Dante: We've got three pickups.

Um...

Excuse me. You need to come see this.

What's the problem?

This isn't just blood.

A baby was delivered here.

This is not your business.

Well, if the mother needs help, please take me to her.

I'm a doctor. I could take care of her.

Doctor? Yeah.

Right now, your job is to clean.

We're backed up. Let's move it.

Uh, hi. My name is Thony. What's your name?

No hablo inglés.

Thony. You?

Soledad. Soledad.

How long have you been here? Did anyone help you?

I'm a doctor.

Um, doctor. Can I see you?

¿Doctora?

Doctora, sí.

Um, um, can I -- can I -- Give -- Give me...

Soledad, Soledad, you're going to be okay.

Me duele mucho.

Sí, sí. Let me look at you.

I'm gonna look at you first and then your baby.

You lie down. All right? Good, good.

Okay. Lie down.

Was I a grumpy kid?

Yeah, you kinda were.

I guess not much has changed, huh?

Did you ever think about what might have happened

if you'd never left? You mean Manila?

Manila. Paolo. All of it. No, I couldn't.

I couldn't. Once I decided to leave,

I couldn't think about the things I was leaving behind.

I mean, I just had to keep moving forward.

Well, did he ever try to stay in touch?

No, I didn't give him a chance.

What did Lolo and Lola have to say about it all?

They weren't talking to me at that time.

You -- You had a baby.

They didn't care at all? They were --

They were grandparents.

Look, it -- it was different, a different time.

I wasn't married or anything, so...

Did you want to be?

I mean, hey, Paolo's pretty awesome.

Mm-hmm.

I hated having to leave him.

Yeah. Yeah, me too.

I mean, I wanted a lot of things,

but what came out of it was you.

And -- And, uh -- And that changed everything.

¿Americano? ¿Tu hijo?

- Yes. Yes. I'm -- I'm American. - Yes. Sí. Sí.

Yes.

Hi.

Hola.

I'm Chris.

Uh, this is my mom, Fiona. Hola.

Camila. Y mi mama Gizelle.

Camila. Pretty name.

- Muchas gracias por ayudarnos. - Tienes un buen hijo.

Ah, sí. He's a good kid.

Sometimes.
