Previously on "The Cleaning Lady...
Everything okay? No, everything's not okay.
I lost another account.
- What is it, Feng? - Well, I was hoping
to meet your new doc, but apparently,
she doesn't like house calls.
Why the hell aren't you answering your pages?
We page. You show up.
I'm sending you an address.
Get there now or this all goes away.
I'm Dr. De La Rosa.
Weren't you the cleaning lady?
A Sin Cara leader cannot sustain
an attack on his life without retribution.
I got you a name.
Ramona found the guy who tried to kill me.
I need you to keep him alive.
Yeah. We need to call the doc.
How long has he been here?
Do whatever it takes to keep him alive.
I'm not a miracle worker.
I need a surgical suite.
Okay, done.
Hey.
Whatever she needs, just give it to her.
How's he doing?
Collapsed lungs. Fractured sternum.
Broken leg. Possible brain injury.
But he's hanging in there.
Has he said anything?
No, not yet. He's been in and out.
But once the sedatives wear off, he'll wake up.
Good. You should go home and get
some rest. I'll take it from here.
Are you a doctor now?
Because my patient needs to be monitored.
Your patient was the getaway driver for
the people who tried to kill me, and you.
What are you going to do with him?
Depends on what he knows.
He needs to rest.
He could slip into a coma, and you won't get any answers.
Thank you for your assessment, Doctor,
but your work here is done.
No, I will be back after my shift to check on him.
I strongly suggest you let him heal.
Turn the music down, Chris.
I love this song. Turn it up.
Wait. Has anybody seen my keys?
Luca needs to focus on his homework.
Luca thinks better when it's loud, right, buddy?
What did he say? I didn't hear him.
I'm sorry. I-Is that a smile I see on your face?
I mean, does everybody see this?
He's been like this ever since Ted started helping him
study for the GEDs.
Hey, I'm so happy to hear that
you're focused on your future, anak.
Camila will be proud of you.
Have I missed the party?
It's not a party, Mom.
I'm doing homework. That's good!
Listen, guys, I can't pick up Luca from school
because I have to study for the GED, so...
Okay. I-I can't either.
I have-- I have a cleaning job.
Oh, no. And I have another shift at the hospital. Oh.
Really? Again? Um...
Scouts are in town.
Wait, scouts?
The college fair. Remember? Ah.
It's okay. You know what? We can ask Samantha.
And you focus on getting into Berkeley.
I'm thinking East Coast now.
Somewhere far away from all this.
Oh, Jaz.
Come on, Luca.
Bye. Oh, bye-bye, my love.
You have fun today. Thanks, Jaz.
Bye.
She's right, you know.
With the cleaning business struggling,
me working so much, we're asking a lot from her.
Oh, the pain the little finger is felt by the whole body.
Okay, hindi na sya dalaga. Jaz-- Jaz will be fine.
Oh, my God. I have to go.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Thank you.
Yeah, see you later.
Ay-yi-yi.
Thanks for coming on, um-- on such short notice.
Lealtad sobre todo.
Hey, Ramona,
she told me what happened in Santa Maria.
Yes, yes, I get a little carried away sometimes.
Well, I can't have any of that here.
At least until I know who ordered the hit.
Jorgito.
Remember when we take you out boar hunting?
Man, you hated hunting.
I can still see that scared look in
your face when you shot that boar.
When you didn't finish the kill that day,
I didn't think you had the stomach for this.
But look at you now, eh?
El gran jefe.
Shh, shh, shh.
It's okay. Relax.
Just tell me, where does it hurt?
Right here?
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Who hired you?
Aah! Aah!
I need to get to Edna.
Okay. You want your head to pop off
like a champagne cork? I will pop your pompous ass
all the way back to where you came from.
Okay. Take me to Edna.
She-- She's over on Elkhorn Road.
Okay, patient-- Blood pressure is 220/160. He needs that IV push now.
What do you think I'm trying to do here?
I don't know, but are these
the bedside manners they teach in France?
Ce mec est impossible! Je te file un coup de main.
I've got it.
No, I don't think you do.
You two, you're-- you're worse than me and Edna.
Well, you know what? My boss here
thinks I can't do my job.
Would you help me prove him wrong?
Let's do it. Let's do it.
Yeah. Let's do it, right?
Yeah. Ernest? Is that Ernest?
Ernest. Yes, Ernest.
So why don't you tell me about Edna
while I'll give you this blood pressure medicine?
She's mad at me. Oh. What did you do?
Well, they rushed me here,
and I left her behind. You did?
At that wretched wrinkle ranch.
I didn't mean-- I didn't mean to do that.
I'm sure you didn't.
I'm gonna take care of you now.
And you're gonna see her very soon.
Okay? Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
I don't like to be lied to.
You know, your whole bruja act was pretty impressive.
And, yeah, earned you a place at the table.
But things are not adding up.
I asked around about you,
Miss Ramona Sanchez.
Look, Chiqui, I'm not looking for any trouble.
Art curator wrongly accused of murder.
You see, the thing is, bougie bitches,
when they wind up in lockup,
they cry for weeks.
But you,
you haven't shed a tear since you strolled up in here.
And now I see you tearing up that bag like a contender.
They teach you that at Pilates, hmm?
Hey, I'm just messing with you, pendeja.
I'm Chiqui.
But I'm gonna find out who you really are.
You hear me?
He's still breathing.
So what do you have for me?
If I were to put my money on it,
I think the hit came from
your sister's Chinese hire.
Feng?
He's got no juice here. It'd be self-sabotage.
People self-destruct,
and he's a little different, don't you think?
You're covered in blood, and all you've got
is a racist hunch?
Feng hired mercs to secure
his pig butchering compound, right?
Hey. Former Marines. That's right.
And all of them stationed in Afghanistan,
just like this guy.
I hear he has triad connections.
Could be they're making moves.
Mira. Makes sense.
Pero...
I need details from our friend in there before we
accuse one of our own associates.
How is he?
Thony, this is Neto.
He's helping us with this.
Oh, my gosh. What did you do to him?
This is sick. This is less than human.
You hear me? Can you hear me? Sir?
This was his choice.
He has the power to stop it.
All he has to do is tell us what we
need to know. Are you okay with this?
I spent all night saving him. Look at him.
Just do your job, Thony.
He doesn't deserve this. No one does.
Enough chitchat. Wake him up, but don't numb him.
I need to get to work, and he needs to feel it.
No, I need to get back to work
so I can save him again.
If he dies, you're not going to get anything out of this.
Do you understand?
Now, please, please get out.
Are you going to let her speak to me that way, sobrino?
Or is this another one of those
squealing pig situations?
Can you hear me?
Mira.
Out of respect for our history,
I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that, pero...
test me again, Neto, and it'll be the last time.
Hey. Wake up.
I need him awake, Thony, so we can get back to work.
I'm gonna give you a sedative to ease the pain.
All right? I'm going to help you.
Come on, Larry, what happened to buy now, pay later?
No, I can't pay you unless I get this big job.
But to do this job,
I need floor wax, your floor wax, and a lot of it.
Wait, Thony? No, no, no, she's not here.
You know what? Just forget it. Forget it.
Oh, my God.
Krista!
Are you feeling better? For a moment there,
I thought you weren't coming back.
I'm not. What? No, no, no, no.
Not you, too.
I'll get us out of this, okay?
As soon as the economy picks up
and-- and, please, just don't give up.
I'm sorry, boss. The kids need
new clothes, school supplies. The money here is not enough.
Yeah, I know, I know. Well, what are you gonna do?
I'll be fine. I'm working for StripRide now.
Wait. Stripping?
No. StripRide, a new Vegas rideshare app.
Wait. Don't you need a visa for that?
You do, but I rent an account under the table.
I drive under another identity.
Some woman in Henderson, a US citizen.
I made a grand last week.
A grand? Okay, how do-- how do I get in on this?
I mean, come on. Hook me up, man.
Mama needs to buy some cleaning supplies, please.
Rex, you don't seem like
the type of guy to be involved in any of this.
I'm just a driver. I know.
The man you drove shot at us and tried to kill my boss.
I didn't know
what the job was.
I just needed the money
for my family.
I would do anything for them.
I understand.
Do you know who hired you?
They don't believe me.
I believe you. I believe you.
Okay? Help me.
Please.
What? Please.
I'm gonna put you in a coma.
They won't touch you if you can't talk.
Do you understand?
You're just gonna have to sleep. All right?
I'll figure it out.
Is he awake?
He's slipped into a coma.
I did my best.
We're just gonna have to wait and see if he wakes up.
It's just...
You've been torturing this man to death.
I thought you wanted to elevate the cartel,
create a future for your daughter.
You think I like any of this? I don't know. Do you?
'Cause your friend in there seems
to be getting off on it.
If I don't figure out who's after me,
they'll just keep trying. This is survival.
It's not survival. Your guy is sadistic.
You're better than that.
Honestly, I don't know if that's true.
I don't know if I have the luxury to be better than that.
Okay.
Let me try. I can talk to him.
He'll trust me. He'll give me the name.
He's in a coma right now. Page me when he wakes up.
Um, hello?
Hello.
Um, hi. I'm-- I'm Krista's friend.
I have girls your shape and size.
Oh, this is for driving, right?
Have a seat.
I rent a StripRide accounts for a weekly rental fee.
Let's see. Give me your best DMV smile.
Nah.
Wait. Did you steal these licenses?
I borrowed. Hey, it's a victimless crime.
Bada bing, bada boom. You'll be driving by noon.
Give me your phone, Blanche-- we got a match.
Oh, no. My name is-- Your name is Blanche.
Your name is now Blanche.
Am I going to get in trouble for this?
You want the account or not?
I've got a long line of ladies just dying to be Blanche.
I-- Maybe I made a mistake. I just needed
a few hundred bucks to get me out of a pinch.
But I think I should-- Wait, wait, wait.
$500 a day. Peak hours on the strip.
Let's start again, shall we?
My name is Elwood. And you are?
Blanche. My name is Blanche.
Nice to meet you, Blanche.
500, huh?
Hey.
¿Qué me quentas con tu amigo, Feng?
Is he trustworthy?
Mm. Sounds like Neto's doing right by you.
He always gets the answers we need,
but I'm surprised Feng would turn on us.
He came here alone from Hong Kong.
Without our backing, he-- he's got nothing.
If Neto confirms he ordered the hit on me,
boss, I'll take him out quietly.
No. No. You set an example out
of Feng in front of the others.
No, no, no, no, I can't take that risk, Ramona.
I'm close to a deal on a very public mining project.
I need to keep a low profile.
Nobody understands the value
of operating in the shadows more than me.
Pero nuestras asocios, they're sensing weakness from you.
¿Quien dice, eh? Who?
I hear the talk, Jorge. Even in here.
Listen, I've been where you are.
No, you haven't. You hid your face in the shadows.
Even now, people don't know who you are in prison.
Me? I'm exposed out there. I could lose it all.
Entonces...
what can I do to keep our people in line?
You can still show them strength.
Call a meeting of the inner circle.
Remind them what happens when they step out of line.
Qué pasa si I can't confirm that Feng ordered the hit on me?
You take him out anyway.
Either way, you set an example that they
need to see.
Mm, it's getting cooler now, huh?
Yeah, it's a bit chilly. I know.
You want to tell me about your day?
Not really, no. Ugh. That bad?
Worse.
Oh, well, I have some good news to share.
Yeah? You want to meet the new me?
What do you mean?
Okay. Introducing the one...
the only Blanche Clutterbuck.
What the hell? Mm-hmm!
What is this?
It's my best DMV smile.
DMV? You gonna be driving people illegally?
You can't do this. Oh!
Fi, you could be arrested.
Really? Really? Coming from Dr. Cartel.
Hey, I'm providing a service.
Oh, wait.
Oh, my God. I-- I-I have-- I have a ride.
No, no, no, no. Hold on. Wait.
You're drunk. Oh, I'm-- Oops.
No, you can't do this. Oh, sorry.
Go to bed now.
Yeah! Oh-ho-ho-ho!
Oh, my God. Drifting is like a dance with death, okay?
All right.
Feel it, feel it, feel it.
Are you okay?
Oh, God, I think so.
Dude! That was crazy. Oh.
You're a natural.
Thanks, man. Oh, God. I want to try it again.
All right, go for it.
Oh. Won't start.
No, you're good. Not the first time, man.
Drifting puts a lot of strain on the engine.
Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. All those high RPMs?
Yeah. Give it a minute to cool and try again, yeah?
You sound like you know what you're talking about.
My uncle has a shop.
He's teaching me about cars, drifting them,
racing them, fixing them up.
Wait, what about Cornell?
What about it?
That's my mom talking. This is my life, pare.
Sorry. I mean, you're right. I mean, our time is now.
Yeah. Oblivion lies ahead.
What do they say? DIFTP?
DIFTP! DIFTP!
Yeah!
All right, let's do one more round.
All right, all right. I gotta hit it one more time.
All right, I'm going. All right.
Okay.
Oh-- Oh, my God. There's-- There's Rob and Olivia.
I mean, I can't believe you guys are all going to college.
I'm-- I'm so proud of you.
Mom, it's just the college fair.
We haven't gone anywhere yet.
Oh, no, but you will. I don't know much,
but I know how smart you are.
We'll see. Good luck driving.
Thank you. Um, are you sure this is on?
It's on. Okay, great.
All right. Ay! I have one.
I got a ride. Okay.
See you in a couple hours. Okay. Yeah, sure, sure.
Be good, okay? Okay. Bye, Mom.
Bye. Okay.
StripRide? I-I'm Blanche.
No. Okay, just one second.
Oh. My bad. Let me help you. One second.
Okay. Everything in park.
Great. Hi. How are you?
I am not getting in that.
Oh. One second. Let me open the door.
No, thank you. We're good.
Hop in. No, no, no. Um...
Move it!
Yeah. Okay.
Aah!
We have a code blue.
Code blue! Code blue!
Ernest! Ernest, can you hear me?
Ernest, you're going to be fine now.
You're going to be okay.
What did you do?
I intubated him.
Without looking at his chart?
"No extraordinary measures."
I'll be reported to the medical board for this.
Wait, please. Can I explain?
He was flatlining. I could not let him die.
Right, right. You surgeons and your-- your God complex.
You're the same. You treat the disease, not the person.
Okay, I messed up. I'm sorry.
Ernest was bound for palliative care,
where he would receive comfort and dignity.
I get it. Not a tube down his throat.
I get it!
You know, Doctor, you will learn that--
that sometimes the best thing to do is not be a savior,
but to just be there for our patients
in their final moments.
Perdón.
Talking about moms...
Jefa, got the oleander flowers?
Sí. Gracias.
You get any more intel out of Chiqui's father?
Esta pedo, but he said
that she got burned in a house fire when
her mother, Anita, passed out smoking.
Perfecto. I can work with that.
Next order of business, my little brother.
Pues. I'm glad you brought him up.
I mean no disrespect, but the men are talking.
Yes. And I know what they're saying.
Just as I know you're going to help me put a stop to it.
Ramona, por favor... This isn't a discussion, El Don.
When Jorge calls a meeting,
you let our people know
my brother has my full support. ¿Entiendes?
Entiendo. I'll spread the word.

Hoodlums. Where are their parents?
Chris!
Hey!
Oh, no.
Is that your mom?
Studying for the GED? Huh?
We were just getting tacos, that's all.
No, no, you were driving like maniacs.
What if you got pulled over, huh?
What if you got arrested, huh? Mom, please.
Look, Ms. DLR, is this
the same van from when we were little?
I love this relic. Ted.
I can't believe you still have this.
I remember you picking us up from class in this.
Oh, well, why don't you tell your mother about it, too?
I'm sure Rose will have a good laugh at me, too, huh?
I didn't mean to offend you.
You know, I still have the same car,
and I'm still a cleaning lady,
but I do everything I can to give...
Okay, Mom. All right, let's go. ...my kids everything I have so they don't end up like--
Let's go. Come on. Like this!
Mom.
Is he awake? No, but I need him to be.
I've called a cartel meeting tonight.
This is his last chance to talk. Do whatever it takes.
He's in a coma. Yes. So you keep saying.
Give him a shot of adrenaline.
That's what Dr. Podesky would do.
I'm not Dr. Podesky. That could kill him.
Give him adrenaline, Thony. Just do it now.
I'm here, I-I'm here.
Just breathe, breathe, breathe.
I'm with you.
You're gonna be fine.
Don't lie to me.
You're gonna be okay. You need a hospital.
You're bleeding internally.
I understand.
I wish I could help you. You can.
Oh, no, no. No, no.
I-I can't do that.
Please! No, no! I-I can't.
Please! Please! My family.
Get the photo.
There you go.
You tell them the money,
the payment for the job.
Rolls of cash. It's buried here.
Here.
Please. I can't die for nothing.
Please.
I'll make sure they get the money, I promise you.
I'll make it painless.
I'm scared. I'm right here with you.
I won't leave.
I'm sorry.
I-I did what I could. H-He's gone.
Liar!
Hey, hey, hey! Calma.
Tranquilo.
Deshacerse del cuerpo.
¿Oyes? Get rid of the body.
What happened in there? Did he wake up?
I-I injected him with adrenaline, just like you asked.
Just tell me the truth.
I did what I had to.
So Neto's right. You murdered him.
No, that monster murdered him. I only made it painless.
What do you expect me to do with you, Thony?
He was innocent, Jorge.
So he did talk to you?
Yes. He did. Yes, he talked to me.
Did he tell you who hired him? No. He didn't know anything!
He just wanted to get money to his family.
What money?
He talked about rolls of cash.
GPS coordinates.
Just gave me this. I need to find this cash.
Please let me help you.
Go home.
I-- I promised him I would give it to his family.
Jorge, please.
Hey, you can't be following me like that.
I was not following you, okay?
I was just trying to pick up people on
that stupid rideshare app,
but no one would get into my crappy van.
Rideshare? Yeah, I thought it would be easy.
You know, extra bucks for the business, but...
But the way people looked at me,
I-I'm...
I just--
Okay. I'm sorry.
Wow. Really?
Oh, God. I'm so sorry, Jaz. The college fair.
I waited and waited for you, and you-- I know.
I guess whatever this was, it was more important.
Okay. Hey, mom had a rough day, all right?
I'm so sorry. I just-- I saw Chris driving like a mani--
Yeah, it's always Chris this, Chris that.
You know, you complain
about Lolo and Lola favoring Marco,
and you-- you're doing the same thing.
Jaz. It's not the same thing.
No. You have no right to criticize me.
You're barely carrying your own weight.
You-- Y-You're blowing off your GEDs,
and yet you still get all the attention.
I--
I'm the only one doing everything right.
God.
Sorry we can't all be perfect like you.
Argh! Oh, my God. What is happening?
What is it?
I know who tried to kill me.
Let's go.
Your mother. She's persistent.
She wants to make contact with you.
Really? You're lying.
Your day is coming.
Oh. She never forgave
herself for the burns you got in that house fire.
If only she could have quit smoking.
Let go of me. Maldita bruja.
There's nothing to be afraid of, Chiqui.
Do you want to know who I really am?
Let me show you.
Let me help you reconnect with your mother.
Shuffle the cards.
The tea opens spiritual pathways.
I can feel your mother.
Is her name Anita?
Ooh. The Empress.
Hmm. Your mother is proud.
You came from nothing.
And you made yourself a strong woman
who demands power and respect.
I know there's been some doubt,
some resistance to the direction
that I've been taking this cartel.
But I'm here to reassure you that you
have nothing to worry about.
Anyone know what this is?
Inside this rock is lithium.
Oh. The Tower.
It's a warning
of the chaos and destruction to come.
Everything you've built, everything
you've fought for is about to crumble.
Lithium is resilient.
Can withstand heat, hold strong under immense pressure.
Yeah. It reminds me of us.
Highly effective under heat and pressure.
Pero...
The thing about lithium is
it can be corrosive
when exposed to harmful elements.
Death. Don't be scared.
Death is not a thing to fear.
It's a thing to be embraced.
Oh, my God.
And someone here...
...has been a corrosive agent.
And this traitor...
...he's compromised our collective strength.
La otra.
If you hire someone to kill me...
...try using Bitcoins
instead of your old man broccoli bands.
The shadow of death creeping in.
What'd you do to me?
He's-- He's bucking the vent.
It's what I feared would happen.
Having to pull the plug or worse.
Hey, Dr. De La Rosa.
Hey, Doctor.
Jorgito.
No, no, no.
I need to take care of this.
You never had it in you.
Aah!
There he is. The scared little boy.
I've always known it.
Doctor, are you with me? You have to pull the vent.
Ready?
Go.
Breathe.
In case anyone has any doubt.
I'm Sin Cara.
Are you going to tell me what happened?
I asked you here to stitch me up,
not ask questions.
Are you done? I'd be if you'd stop moving.
I'm working for you now.
I just want to know what to expect.
Are we safe?
It's over. We did what we had to.
Yes, we did.
I never killed anyone before you.
No. No.
Yes. You killed that man.
It was your decision, not mine.
Done.
Here you go.
You can keep your promise.
At least one of us can do something good today.
What?
Come on.
What the--
Chris. Where have you been? I've been worried sick.
- Wh-- - Come outside.
Wait. What is that?
I don't know.
Anybody need a ride? Oh, my God.
What? What is this?
It's your new slick whip. What do you think?
How much did all of this cost, huh?
Nothing. It's all stuff we had lying around in the shop.
And Ms. DLR...
I-I didn't mean any disrespect earlier.
I forgive you, but I'm still mad at you both.
Okay, wait, wait till you check this out.

Are you Dr. De La Rosa?
Are you Edna?
I got here just in time to say good-bye to him.
Thank you.
I'm-- I'm sorry.
I take it that you met with Edna.
Mm-hmm.
Are you drinking?
Is that judgment in your voice?
You're at work.
I'm off the clock, and it helps with
the whole death scene.
It's never easy.
No. It's not. Seeing Ernest say good-bye
to the love of his life, it, um...
It almost made me feel something.
Wow.
Take it.
We're making a toast.
To what?
To you.
Me?
For officially earning my hatred.
Finally, I'm on your bad side.
We're equal.
You know Sartre?
He said, "L'Enfer, c'est les autres."
Was that after he met you?
Oh, touché, Doctor. That's very funny.
Thank you. You trying to cheer me up?
Do you really believe that?
Hell is other people?
Yeah, most of the time.
But I'm starting to reevaluate.
Oh, yeah? What happened?
Maybe it's not other people.
Maybe it's being alone.
Hmm.
Then we're in trouble, aren't we?
I've got something else to do.
Dad?
Kids, get back inside.
