The Cleaning Lady Episode 5 Ending: Does Garrett Arrest Thony and Arman?
Arman and Thony agree to move the drugs consignment to street dealers so that they can earn quick cash and Arman can repay Robert Kamdar. The duo completes the deal and receives their payment. Meanwhile, Garrett’s informant tips him off about the drug handover. As a result, Garrett decides to foil the drug deal in hopes of reaching The Brit. However, the deal is done when Garrett arrives on the scene, and the dealers are escaping in a truck. Garrett catches up to the truck and manages to stop it.
Garrett realizes that the dealers are Arman and Thony. He holds them at gunpoint and demands an explanation. While Garrett intends to arrest Arman, he gives Thony a chance to clear her name. However, Thony takes up the blame for dealing drugs and tries to protect Arman. Nonetheless, Garrett does not believe Thony’s cover story. After Thony and Arman fail to provide Garrett with any reason to set them free, he decides to arrest them. However, Thony decides to strike a deal with Garrett.
Thony reveals that Cortez is working for Robert Kamdar. Garrett is tracking Cortez and wants to catch the criminal so that he can free Maya. Therefore, Thony offers to help Garrett catch Robert, who is a bigger criminal in her eyes and technically Cortez’s boss. Thony explains that Robert is a loan shark who invests in nearly every criminal business in Las Vegas.
Thony’s words make Garrett realize that Robert Kamdar is the mysterious Brit he is searching for. Therefore, Thony pleads with Garrett to let her and Arman off the hook. In exchange, Thony agrees to work as an informant for Garrett. Ultimately, Garrett does not arrest Thony and Arman. He accepts Thony’s deal, landing him, Arman, and Thony in the same uneasy alliance they were forced to form in the season 1 finale.
