Killer Queen

Previously on "The Cleaning Lady"
When I walked away
from Sam Heller today,
it wasn't Vanessa that was in my head.
It was It was you.
Okay, come on. Okay.
- Who are you?
- I am Sin Cara.
Either you or your wife are going down
for the murder of Rex Blackley.
Take down the person
pulling all our strings.
Someone in your house is dirty.
Oh, my God! You did it!
Benny, send him the password now.
Thony De La Rosa, you are under arrest
for the murder of Rex Blakley.
Jorge, why?
I want everyone in that prison to know
that Ramona is the
secret face of Sin Cara.
I want everyone in that
prison to tear her apart.
[DISHES CLANGING,
INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Sin Cara. [CHUCKLES]
The cartel with no face,
no fear, and no mercy.
And it's you?
You must be confused.
Your brother, Jorge, was pretty clear
when he put the word out.
Wait. You look familiar.
Paxton's little girl, right?
If I told you the things your daddy did,
[SCOFFS] you'd have nightmares.
I did you a favor when I cut his throat.
Ahhh!
[ALL GRUNTING]
On your knees! Hands behind your head!
[MOANING]
Inmate, you're out of bounds.
Sin Cara has a face,
and it's mine.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Remove all your belongings.
The, ring too.
JOEL: So, was it worth it?
This whole charade?
Shocking, isn't it? How quickly
it all goes down the gutter.
Faster than my luck
at the slot machines.
And raise that up.
So that's it? You're just
You're gonna let Jorge
determine your future?
I wish my wife had that much faith in me
when I promised her that trip to Tahiti.
- Sir, you can't go in there.
- Open up. I'm her lawyer.
All right, enough
with the scare tactics.
- My client is under no obligation to talk.
- I am not your client.
She can't be your client.
All right, you know, this
is getting cuckoo bananas.
I need her side of
the story on the record.
You want to do things by the book?
I can bring in outside counsel,
but it'll get real messy, real fast
if we don't stick to our agreement.
What agreement? What
are you talking about?
Do you want to tell her?
Two minutes.
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So, w while I was risking
my life for your cartel,
you're cutting a deal behind my back?
A cartel war was breaking out.
I had to be freed from
custody to protect us, all of us.
Oh, yeah.
You saw what they
did to the Guerrero family,
- their children.
- I can't believe
I fell for your voicemail.
I am so stupid.
That voicemail was real.
The way you shut down Sam Heller,
you prevented a massacre,
and I owe you for that.
Yeah. Yeah, you do.
What's this agreement?
Joel confirmed that
he was played for a fool.
Sam Heller pressured
someone in the DA's office
to plant murder evidence against me.
So by kicking me free and arresting you,
Joel can smoke out the corruption
'cause someone's gonna
complain about my release.
Whoever does is the guilty party.
Just used me as a pawn.
- Yes.
- Yes!
But it benefits us.
Look, no jury is gonna convict you
for the murder of Rex Blackley.
T The case will crumble
once they learn about
the tampered evidence.
Just get me out of here.
Yes, I will.
I I'll have you
arraigned in the morning.
You'll be home before
Luca gets back from school.
You've reached Thony. I'm not available.
- Please leave a message.
- [BEEP]
Thony, where are you?
It's Spa Day at the
Cleaning Ladies, remember?
We're celebrating a new homeowner me!
Hi. Oh, one second.
I'm just getting into my chair.
Hold on. Okay.
I can't believe you're missing this.
Oh, yes, right there.
Get your skinny butt over here, okay?
Bye.
- [EXHALES]
- Ooh, girl.
This is exactly what mama
needed after a long week.
Mm-hmm. Mama gets what mama wants.
Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt.
Um, I'm sorry. One second.
Hi!
Ms. Wilkins. It's the Realtor.
Uh, don't be shy. Betsy,
Dolores, go ahead.
- Yes.
- Can we talk in private?
Um, yeah, sure. I I
thought that we were, uh,
signing the papers this afternoon.
Well, we were, but
unfortunately, another buyer has come in
with a cash offer.
So what? I gave you a down payment.
I worked my ass off for that.
I know, I know. It's not
fair, but money does talk.
You can beat his offer, though,
by upping your down payment.
Say $75,000 by the end of next week?
Sure. Yeah, sure, sure.
Let me get my ski
mask and go rob a bank.
[GASPS] Ooh.
How's that? Huh?!
[GATE BUZZES]
Oh, I have to say,
Warden, I like what I see.
Full capacity, low overhead.
It's good for the bottom line, isn't it?
I try my best to, uh,
keep shareholders happy.
- Good.
- Ah, there she is.
- Warden.
- Ramona.
All right, come on, ladies, let's go.
RAMONA: Sam! I thought
you forgot about me.
You're always on my mind, darlin'.
I'm glad you came to
visit me in person this time
instead of sending your timid daughter.
What a mess that got us in.
But it's never too late
to repair the damage.
I'm afraid I won't be handing out any
get-out-of-jail-free cards today.
Don't tease me, Samuel.
Our partnership has spanned governments,
corporations, borders.
But the wild horses of your
hubris have finally broken free
and your cartel's galloping off a cliff,
all because you couldn't get
a cleaning lady under control.
What are you talking about?
This is not the kind of relationship
you can just back out of.
- You need Sin Cara to do your dirty work.
- Mm.
You're not wrong. Sin Cara was useful.
And that's why I'm making sure
that the right hand will
be steering the ship.
You're nothing without me.
I know you're upset, darlin'.
Me, too.
I'll give you a chance
to redirect that rage
on the appropriate target.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Think about it.
- OFFICER: Mrs. Sanchez?
- Yes.
Time to roll out.
Am I being released?
Put this on.
Well, my lawyer said I'll be arraigned
and released on bail in the morning.
I said put this on.
CHRIS: All right. How's this, guys?
The perfect roll.
The guts are coming out.
It looks like my grandma's neck.
[LAUGHS] How about we ask the master?
Huh? Mom?
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
You sure? 'Cause, uh
I have never seen you roll
a lumpy lumpia in your life, Mom.
I know. I I'm just
having some problems
with buying the house, and, um,
I still haven't heard from the
mother of our little helpers.
You know Auntie T, just always working.
Yeah, but which job, huh?
I mean, just just tell
me something good
that I can think about, please.
Well, remember when you said
that if I wanted to move out to LA,
I'd have to work for it?
Teddy and I have made
like 60K on our viral videos.
Yeah, and we're investing
it on this rad incubator.
Next-level hustle. You know what I mean?
I I have no idea what
any of those words mean,
but if they are special to
you, then I'm very proud of you.
Thanks, Mom. [LAUGHS]
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Oh.
- Hi.
- VIOLETA: Daddy!
Hey. Mi princesa.
LUCA: Want to help make lumpia?
Oh, you know what? I'd love to, Luca,
but, um, I have to
talk to your Tita Fi first.
- Okay.
- Alone, if possible?
Sure. Let's go to Luca's room.
All right.
I appreciate you
keeping an eye on Violeta.
I put your sister in
a difficult situation.
Oh, I know.
I'm just glad to hear that you do, too.
I mean, you and your cartel,
every day my ate's with
you, she's either in danger or
- or she's in trouble.
- Well, today she's in jail.
Oh, that's a good one.
You know, she never said you were funny.
Oh, my God. You're serious.
I need you to hear this from me.
I, um turned Thony in for murder.
Now, I I did it for
the safety of our family.
How is she safe in jail?! [STAMMERS]
Don't Don't worry.
- She's gonna be released soon.
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
And then One second.
Que paso compa?
What?
When?
How did this happen?
Well, find out.
- What? What, what? Huh?
- I I
Thony's being transferred to prison.
[GRUNTS]
I don't know the game
you're playing with my sister,
but she cares for you, okay?
So go fix this now.
[EMMIT FENN'S "EDGE OF THE DARK" PLAYS]
GUARD: Single file and stay quiet.
Hey, where are they taking us?
Where do you think they
take convicts, dumbass?
I I'm not Sir, there's a mistake.
I I shouldn't be here, really.
- Yeah, me too.
- What did I say about talking?!

[INMATES SHOUTING "SNAKE!"]
[SHOUTING AND POUNDING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
WOMAN: You better watch your back.
[DOOR BUZZES IN DISTANCE,
INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Tough crowd, huh?
I'm Cheryl.
Thony.
- You play chess?
- Not really.
I'll teach you, Thony.
I'm pretty good after
32 years in this place.
How long you in for?
Oh, come on, we're
sharing that toilet now.
There's no hiding in here.
They got me on triple homicide.
Life without parole.
I haven't been arraigned yet.
Mm. That's a bitch.
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
Oof.
You work in the kitchen?
Safest job in the prison.
No yard politics, no gang nonsense,
no lockdown drama.
Just chopping onions
and flipping burgers.
Seeing as how they
greeted you out there,
I can put in a word.
But it's gonna cost ya
that toiletry bag.
Joel! I just need a second.
How could she be shipped
to a high-security prison
- without due process?
- I don't know.
I'm still trying to figure out
who's pulling the strings here.
Well, until you do,
go talk to your boss.
Tell the DA to release Thony
before Ramona kills her in there!
I make a move now, I blow my one shot
at exposing the corruption.
Fine. I'll make the move for you.
- Hey, what are you doing?
- I'm done waiting on you!
[GROANS]
Ah, Mr. District Attorney.
Bad back?
Ugh, it's murder.
Do I know you?
We met once before, uh, a fundraiser
at the Liberace mansion. Jorge Sanchez.
I'm sure you're aware of the
charges brought against me.
No, I'm not particularly
aware of the case.
And I have to say, Mr. Sanchez,
if you think a $5,000 dinner
is gonna buy you
influence in my office
I just want an explanation.
In over a decade as a defense attorney,
I can count on one
hand the times a suspect
was sent to prison before arraignment.
Well, despite our best efforts,
sometimes the T's get
dotted, the I's get crossed.
Sir, you're the only one
who can help me here.
Y You don't understand.
Look, I'm sure the
situation with your wife
will get resolved as soon as possible.
I thought you said you
weren't familiar with the case.
If you need further assistance,
I suggest you make an
appointment with my office.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Thank you for looking out for me.
I really appreciate it.
Hey, we do what we have to.
'Cause in here, nothing's free, right?
Not kindness, not protection,
not even this conversation.
Think of this as
your first lesson, fish.
Don't trust anyone.
[DOOR BANGS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey, what's happening?
Ramona sent me.
[GRUNTS AND GROANS]
Please stop. Don't, don't, don't, don't.
Don't fight it.
[GRUNTING AND PANTING]
WOMAN: Get her up.
You thought you helped Jorge?
All you did was remove him from power.
[WHISTLES LOUDLY]
[GRUNTS]
- Hey!
- [LAUGHS] Thony just sucker-punched Six-Two.
Esta loca!
- All right.
- No, no, no, no.
Let's see how much steel you
got after three days in the box.
I didn't do anything.
Enjoy the crazymaker, Thony!

[CLEARS THROAT] Hello?
- Can I help you?
- I'm Fiona De La Rosa.
I I'm here to see Thony Sanchez.
Weren't you just in here,
like Yeah, four days ago.
- Did you fill out the N
- NDOC visitor application form?
Three times. Sent one
by mail, one by e-mail.
Oh, and I put one in your hands.
You know, the ones at
the end of your arms?
- Fiona De La Rosa.
- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]
[DOOR BUZZES]
Looks like your application
is still being processed.
While your people are still processing,
my sister's son is asking
after her every night.
I I don't even know if she's okay.
I Is she in that cell over there?
- I can can go there now.
- Ma'am, you cannot go through there.
You can't do this to good people!
Where's my sister?
There is nothing I can do.
If your request is not processed,
you cannot see the inmate.
[DOOR BUZZES]
[BANGS ON DESK]
And with a little
encouragement with a chainsaw,
the warden graciously
agreed to let you see Thony.
Dos cafes.
I'm glad he came to his senses.
What about DA Thornfield?
Ah, there will be no convincing the DA.
He's in too deep with Sam Heller.
Then Thornfield needs to go.
I want Thony out of that prison.
And Joel he's been a pain in my ass,
but he's a straight shooter.
He'll take over from
his boss, do what's right.
Eliminating a district attorney?
Jorgito, that's no small thing.
- [SLAMS BAR]
- I don't care.
Se maldito threw my wife to the wolves.
I want him dead.
Thornfield is a high-profile man.
It's gonna take some time to arrange.
Then get to it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Once you get it and flip it,
this house will be a real cash cow.
FIONA: Come on. Please, Luca.
When is Mom coming home?
What's wrong with the butterfly?
Oh, they, uh, like to take
naps sometimes, you know?
Come on, Luca, please.
LUCA: [WHINING] When is Mom coming home?
Um, excuse me.
W We're having a family moment here.
Isn't it enough that
you're stealing my home?
Oh, we'll just take a look outside.
Oh, great, yeah. Oh, why don't you check
- the cute rats' nest in the mailbox?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, the mother
just gave birth to quintuplets.
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
- Oh, my God.
AUTOMATED VOICE: You
have a collect call from
- THONY: Thony.
- It's her.
AUTOMATED VOICE: an inmate
at Women's Correctional Facility.
To accept this call, press one.
Thony! Thony, look,
I I wanted to see you,
but they wouldn't let me.
I I'm fine, Fi.
Um, I'm okay.
Jorge has a plan to let me out.
He's the one who turned you in.
[SIGHS] I It's to protect us, Fi.
Okay. D Do you hear yourself?
You sound like one of those
abused women on "Dateline."
What are you not telling me?
How What What's going on, Thony?
[SOFTLY] She's here, Fi.
Wait. She? Ramona she?
I don't want to worry you, but I think
that something's going down.
No, no, no. We We
have to get you out of there.
Okay, what can I do? How can I help?
I don't know. I don't know.
I just I just want to talk to Luca.
Okay, I'll get him now.
Hey, honey.
Uh, Violeta, uh, why don't you, uh,
show me that pirouette
that you did last night, right?
- Come on.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Mom?
- THONY: Hey, my love.
The butterfly's not flying anymore.
I think it's dying.
Maybe he's just gathering his strength.
But what if it never flies again?
Well, then it'll have
its memories of flying
with a wonderful little boy.
You sound funny. Where are you, Mom?
Uh, Mommy's made a mistake,
and I have to stay somewhere
for a while to make things right.
But I'm okay, my love.
What kind of place?
- Uh I will explain when I come home.
- [LINE BEEPS]
- Luca.
- [LOUND POUNDING]
GUARD: You're done! Time's up!
[GROANS]
What the hell is that?
I used the kitchen earnings
to buy from the commissary.
It's gonna be a lotion with
crushed chili peppers
and some menthol.
The capsaicin stuns the nerve ending,
and the menthol has an
antl Inflammatory property.
And you think that will earn my trust?
I'm making this for you to
take care of your arthritis.
I am tired of hearing you
groan in pain every night.
And I want to know how
you survived here 32 years.
You want to know my tricks?
Join me for a game of chess.
All right.
What I did to you the other day
not personal.
The pecking order is the pecking order,
- plain and simple.
- I understand.
But I saw how you looked at Ramona.
You don't like her.
That's an understatement.
But I stay close to her
because it keeps me safe.
Like a pawn
shielding the king.
As long as she's in play,
no one is looking at me.
So, Doctor
who are you?
[EXHALES]
I I dedicated my
career to saving lives.
But when it came to my son, I
I did whatever it
took to keep him alive.
One thing led to another.
And I had to put down a suffering man.
So, what does that make me?
That makes you dangerous.
Not because you took a life, but
because you think you're a hero.
Maybe I'm dangerous.
I'm gonna go after Ramona
before she comes for me.
Ah, nice to meet you, Thony.
I knew she was in there somewhere.
[WOMEN SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
Ramona's making a move
on Monday after shift change,
right when everyone's
looking the other way.
That's all I know.
But you better be ready.
I plan to be.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
What the hell?
It was burning.
You're a cleaning
lady. Hands off the food.
- Hey, easy. Go. Go, go.
- It was a mistake. Okay.
- Porcina.
- Go, go.
Stay in your lane, cleaning lady.
It's fine. It's just Mr. Herman.
Ah, there you are! Hi.
I'm sorry, ma'am, you
can't just walk in here.
Ms. De La Rosa, I
believe you were witness
to the blessed union of
Thony and Jorge Sanchez.
No, don't "blessed union" me.
I watched you pick apart their marriage.
But take a good look at
these children, Mr. Herman.
I want you to know
who's really going to pay
for what you're doing to Thony.
- Huh?
- What's he doing to Mommy?
- Ms. De La Rosa, please.
- Mm-hmm.
That little boy out there, that's Luca.
He's been through more in seven years
than both of us put together,
but he's still the
sweetest boy in the world.
Okay? That little girl, Violeta
Thony was her best
shot at having a mother.
And those children will suffer
if you don't do the right thing.
The right thing?
There is no right thing.
There's the best I could
do under the circumstances
which your sister created for herself.
She didn't create Luca's illness
or the health care
system that failed him,
or the cartel that threatened her life
unless she cleaned up their dirty work.
She was willing to scrub toilets
[VOICE BREAKING] by my side
to keep her son breathing, okay?
Would you move halfway across the world
from your fancy office to scrub toilets
to save your daughter?
Of course you would.
But you're lucky
because you don't have to. [SNIFFLES]
Don't punish Thony for
[SIGHS] for doing the
best thing she could.
Ms. De La Rosa,
I genuinely regret to inform you
that Thony's current
situation is out of my hands.
But if that changes, your words here
have not gone unheard.
You don't understand what's
what it's like to be on our side.
One day.
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
WOMAN: Hey, hey,
check it! [SHOUTS IN SPANISH]
Watch your back.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
You wanna play a game?
It's called Slap Jack.
You see the Jack

You win, we beat you up.
You lose
we kill you. [LAUGHTER]
Relax, Thony.
We're just here to have some fun.
- Game time!
- Yeah, we got some Slap Jack!
Okay.

OFFICER COOK: Lock down! Lock down!
Lock down! Everyone in their cells.
Hey! You did this?
You think I'm scared of you, Ramona?
What is it? What? Are
you feeling sick yet?
Next time I see you, it will
be the last time I see you.
Move it, girls. Into your cells.
[GROANS]
THONY: Cheryl?
- [GASPING]
- Oh, my gosh.
Help! Medical care, please!
All right, move, back
away from the inmate now!
I'm a doctor.
Her defibrillator thinks
she's having a heart attack.
I need a magnet or
something to to stop it.
- [GASPS]
- Someone, a magnet!
Will this work?
What's going on?
The cardiac irregularity
has triggered her defibrillator.
The magnet will keep her alive,
but she needs an IO insertion now.
- I can help.
- Okay, sure.
Okay, all right. Over here.
All right. Help me out here, Doctor.
- So, the softest
- Hands behind your back.
The softest part is the shin.
Gonna drill into it.
Um, a little a little lower.
- [DRILL WHIRRING]
- Okay, and drill until you feel give.
That's it.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
I went to nursing school
during COVID. [CHUCKLES]
All I had were videos
and fruits to practice on.
You're doing great.
Okay. All right.
And the fluids are gonna go
directly into her bone marrow.
You've done it. You're a natural.
[SIGHS] I could really use
someone like you around here.
Ah. It's the first time I
feel like I've belonged
since I got here.
Well, don't get too comfortable.
They would never allow
an inmate to work in here.
[CHERYL GASPS AND GROANS]
Cheryl, it's okay. You'll be fine.
Officer, can you assist, please?
[DOOR BUZZES]
Inmate, step aside.

OFFICER COOK: Davino,
please report to the showers.
Lockdown remains in effect,
but get ready to shower.
[LOCK CLICKING]
You tainted the food
to force a lockdown?
You nearly killed me.
But I saved your life,
so you owe me one.
I was worried about
you when you got here,
but I think you will do just fine.
Your move.
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[SIGHS]
You plan on taking her out?
I'm planning on staying alive.
Hope you know what you're doing,
because if you pull a stunt like that,
there is no turning back.
Well, that's why I need your help.
[INTERCOM BEEPS]
OFFICER COOK: All right,
ladies, you'll have five minutes
in the shower in and out.
If she's gonna make a move on you,
she's gonna do it now.
They release us in groups by last name.
Sanchez and Sanchez, right?
Means you'll go in at
the same time as her.
Make sure you stay behind her.
On your way to the showers,
wait till you pass the second door.
That's when you strike.
No guards, no inmates to protect her.
Just you and her.
Okay. How long do I have?
- 30 seconds at most.

from Sam Heller today,
it wasn't Vanessa that was in my head.
It was It was you.
Okay, come on. Okay.
- Who are you?
- I am Sin Cara.
Either you or your wife are going down
for the murder of Rex Blackley.
Take down the person
pulling all our strings.
Someone in your house is dirty.
Oh, my God! You did it!
Benny, send him the password now.
Thony De La Rosa, you are under arrest
for the murder of Rex Blakley.
Jorge, why?
I want everyone in that prison to know
that Ramona is the
secret face of Sin Cara.
I want everyone in that
prison to tear her apart.
[DISHES CLANGING,
INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Sin Cara. [CHUCKLES]
The cartel with no face,
no fear, and no mercy.
And it's you?
You must be confused.
Your brother, Jorge, was pretty clear
when he put the word out.
Wait. You look familiar.
Paxton's little girl, right?
If I told you the things your daddy did,
[SCOFFS] you'd have nightmares.
I did you a favor when I cut his throat.
Ahhh!
[ALL GRUNTING]
On your knees! Hands behind your head!
[MOANING]

JOEL: So, was it worth it?
This whole charade?
Shocking, isn't it? How quickly
it all goes down the gutter.
Faster than my luck
at the slot machines.
And raise that up.
So that's it? You're just
You're gonna let Jorge
determine your future?
I wish my wife had that much faith in me
when I promised her that trip to Tahiti.
- Sir, you can't go in there.
- Open up. I'm her lawyer.
All right, enough
with the scare tactics.
- My client is under no obligation to talk.
- I am not your client.
She can't be your client.
All right, you know, this
is getting cuckoo bananas.
I need her side of
the story on the record.
You want to do things by the book?
I can bring in outside counsel,
but it'll get real messy, real fast
if we don't stick to our agreement.
What agreement? What
are you talking about?
Do you want to tell her?
Two minutes.
[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So, w while I was risking
my life for your cartel,
you're cutting a deal behind my back?
A cartel war was breaking out.
I had to be freed from
custody to protect us, all of us.
Oh, yeah.
You saw what they
did to the Guerrero family,
- their children.
- I can't believe
I fell for your voicemail.
I am so stupid.
That voicemail was real.
The way you shut down Sam Heller,
you prevented a massacre,
and I owe you for that.
Yeah. Yeah, you do.
What's this agreement?
Joel confirmed that
he was played for a fool.
Sam Heller pressured
someone in the DA's office
to plant murder evidence against me.
So by kicking me free and arresting you,
Joel can smoke out the corruption
'cause someone's gonna
complain about my release.
Whoever does is the guilty party.
Just used me as a pawn.
- Yes.
- Yes!
But it benefits us.
Look, no jury is gonna convict you
for the murder of Rex Blackley.
T The case will crumble
once they learn about
the tampered evidence.
Just get me out of here.
Yes, I will.
I I'll have you
arraigned in the morning.
You'll be home before
Luca gets back from school.
You've reached Thony. I'm not available.
- Please leave a message.

Um, I'm sorry. One second.
Hi!
Ms. Wilkins. It's the Realtor.
Uh, don't be shy. Betsy,
Dolores, go ahead.
- Yes.
- Can we talk in private?
Um, yeah, sure. I I
thought that we were, uh,
signing the papers this afternoon.
Well, we were, but
unfortunately, another buyer has come in
with a cash offer.
So what? I gave you a down payment.
I worked my ass off for that.
I know, I know. It's not
fair, but money does talk.
You can beat his offer, though,
by upping your down payment.
Say $75,000 by the end of next week?
Sure. Yeah, sure, sure.
Let me get my ski
mask and go rob a bank.
[GASPS] Ooh.
How's that? Huh?!
[GATE BUZZES]
Oh, I have to say,
Warden, I like what I see.
Full capacity, low overhead.
It's good for the bottom line, isn't it?
I try my best to, uh,

- Good.
- Ah, there she is.
- Warden.
- Ramona.
All right, come on, ladies, let's go.
RAMONA: Sam! I thought
you forgot about me.
You're always on my mind, darlin'.
I'm glad you came to
visit me in person this time
instead of sending your timid daughter.
What a mess that got us in.
But it's never too late
to repair the damage.
I'm afraid I won't be handing out any
get-out-of-jail-free cards today.
Don't tease me, Samuel.
Our partnership has spanned governments,
corporations, borders.
But the wild horses of your
hubris have finally broken free
and your cartel's galloping off a cliff,
all because you couldn't get
a cleaning lady under control.
What are you talking about?
This is not the kind of relationship
you can just back out of.
- You need Sin Cara to do your dirty work.
- Mm.
You're not wrong. Sin Cara was useful.
And that's why I'm making sure
that the right hand will
be steering the ship.
You're nothing without me.
I know you're upset, darlin'.
Me, too.
I'll give you a chance
to redirect that rage
on the appropriate target.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

- OFFICER: Mrs. Sanchez?
- Yes.
Time to roll out.
Am I being released?
Put this on.
Well, my lawyer said I'll be arraigned

I said put this on.

Huh? Mom?
- You okay?

I still haven't heard from the
mother of our little helpers.
You know Auntie T, just always working.
Yeah, but which job, huh?
I mean, just just tell
me something good
that I can think about, please.

Oh, my God. You're serious.

career to saving lives.
But when it came to my son, I
I did whatever it
took to keep him alive.
One thing led to another.
And I had to put down a suffering man.
So, what does that make me?
That makes you dangerous.
Not because you took a life, but
because you think you're a hero.
Maybe I'm dangerous.
I'm gonna go after Ramona
before she comes for me.
Ah, nice to meet you, Thony.
I knew she was in there somewhere.
[WOMEN SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
Ramona's making a move
on Monday after shift change,
right when everyone's
looking the other way.
That's all I know.
But you better be ready.
I plan to be.

What the hell?
It was burning.
You're a cleaning
lady. Hands off the food.
- Hey, easy. Go. Go, go.
- It was a mistake. Okay.
- Porcina.
- Go, go.
Stay in your lane, cleaning lady.
It's fine. It's just Mr. Herman.
Ah, there you are! Hi.
I'm sorry, ma'am, you
can't just walk in here.
Ms. De La Rosa, I
believe you were witness
to the blessed union of
Thony and Jorge Sanchez.
No, don't "blessed union" me.
I watched you pick apart their marriage.
But take a good look at
these children, Mr. Herman.
I want you to know
who's really going to pay
for what you're doing to Thony.
- Huh?
- What's he doing to Mommy?
- Ms. De La Rosa, please.
- Mm-hmm.
That little boy out there, that's Luca.
He's been through more in seven years
than both of us put together,
but he's still the
sweetest boy in the world.
Okay? That little girl, Violeta
Thony was her best
shot at having a mother.
And those children will suffer
if you don't do the right thing.
The right thing?
There is no right thing.
There's the best I could
do under the circumstances
which your sister created for herself.
She didn't create Luca's illness
or the health care
system that failed him,
or the cartel that threatened her life
unless she cleaned up their dirty work.
She was willing to scrub toilets
[VOICE BREAKING] by my side
to keep her son breathing, okay?
Would you move halfway across the world
from your fancy office to scrub toilets
to save your daughter?
Of course you would.
But you're lucky
because you don't have to. [SNIFFLES]
Don't punish Thony for
[SIGHS] for doing the
best thing she could.
Ms. De La Rosa,
I genuinely regret to inform you
that Thony's current
situation is out of my hands.
But if that changes, your words here
have not gone unheard.
You don't understand what's
what it's like to be on our side.
One day.

I need a magnet or

Will this work?
What's going on?
The cardiac irregularity
has triggered her defibrillator.

As your new district attorney,
I'm writing a new chapter for our city.
One where justice isn't just a concept,
it's an action.
- [CELLPHONE RINGS]
- From this moment forward,
this office will be
driven by one principle
to do what is right.
Just watching the news reports.
Congratulations on your promotion.
Intentional overdose?
You really expect me to believe that?
What can I say?
I guess the guilt from all
those years of corruption
finally caught up with your boss.
What do you think? Suicide?
All right, let me be clear
about one thing, Jorge.
I will not dance for you.
This is outlaws and
lawmen, not a puppet show.
We had an agreement.
You wanted to expose the
dirty player in your office?
Well, we did.
Now Thony is counting
on you to do the right thing.
Well, I've already filed a motion
to have your wife arraigned
and released from prison.
But just so you know, I
didn't do it for you or Thony.
It's that crazy sister of hers
screaming Jesus on a Ferris wheel.
Where did she come from?
Did you see this?
