[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Alright, thank you.

Everyone thinks this job is clipboards and signatures.

Actually, it's surveillance.

And luckily, my co-supervisor sees everything.

The living, the dead, and the slacking.

Thank you.

[GROANS] Hmph!

[MOANS] Hmm.

Tess! Stop it!

I'm sleeping! Stop messing with me!

[TESS] Hey, Ms. Ros! Your break ended ten minutes ago!

You know, if you weren't dead,

I'll shove my foot down your throat.

Hi, Ros! Break ended at 9:05.

[SIGHS]

Noa,

can you please tell your mom to stop doing that to me,

or I'm going to spill all her dirty little secrets!

You're always late.

And your feet are full of callous.

I thought my tickling powers would go to waste.

[ROS] Hey, Tess!

You heard me, right?

Mom said, she'll stop.

Okay.

Good.

[GASPS]

[INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING]

[GROANS IN PAIN]

I'm sorry, we didn't know we had another

overflow patient being brought in.

Jane Doe?

Listen, lady. I just rolled the beds, okay?

All I know is that she collapsed in the grocery store.

Hi, I'm Noa.

How can we help you?

Dear, it hurts.

I can't take it anymore. My stomach hurts.

Don't worry, we'll take care of you.

Do you have an ID?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Sorry, I don't have one right now.

Uh-oh, TNT vibes.

That's okay.

Do you have an address?

Uh...

12 Greenhills Subdivision.

Yep, that confirms it.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Ma'am?

There's no subdivisions here in America.

Is she stupid?

My intestine is in pain!

I'm not deaf!

It's fine.

Let's move her to...

Room 511.

Huh? Why are you putting her in my room?

Noa? A word.

[ROS] I need to tell you something important.

Come here!

Noa, don't trigger the silver alert yet.

That's protocol.

How's her family supposed to find her?

Do you know what they do to people with no papers?

Especially with an accent as thick as that?

I'm not breaking the rules.

[GROANS] Ugh!

Excuse me, ladies.

Can I ask you a question?

No, we're not talking to ghosts here, you crazy person.

Go back to work!

Okay, Ros, don't gaslight me.

I know what gaslighting is.

That's the same tool I use making you all believe

I can only speak Spanish and my real name is Atzin.

Wait, your real name is not Atzin?

I definitely don't like secrets.

They don't care if your name is James Ingram.

Just mind your own business. Go!

[SPEAKING IN FRENCH] Don’t tell me to mind my own business!

When you tell me not to do something,

I’m gonna do it anyway!

I’ll show you what a real chismosa is...

Whatever!

Where am I again?

Minding your own business?

Ah.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYING, FADES]

Can you at least tell me anyone's phone number?

[TESS] Oh, is that so?

You brought her here so that I can be your Tagalog tutor?

What is your...

No, no...

What is your...

phone number?

I failed as a mother.

Alright.

- Maybe we can start with... - [GROANS]

- [PHONE THUDS]- Oh!

[GROANS IN PAIN]

What is it? Where's the pain?

Flip phone?

[CHUCKLES] It's like 1997.

You're not helping.

Whatever happens, don't call them.

[GROANING IN PAIN]

Excuse me.

[JANE] Sir.

Bruh.

- You're ward five, right? - Yup.

It says you're off today.

Is Noa making you come in on your mandated rest day?

Well, yes.

Actually, she's a...

She's a slave driver.

[JANE] What?

Yeah.

Not on my watch.

You go be with family.

Touch grass.

I don't care. Just not here.

Family...

If I see you in here, I'm writing you up.

It's payday.

Live a little.

Right... right.

[INHALES SHARPLY, SIGHS]

- Uh... - Go live a little.

[SIGHS] Yeah, of course.

[BRIGHT UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC FADES]

[TESS] It's a miracle. Dr. Morris answered their phone.

We needed the order.

Plus, she's a little altered,

so UA should let us know if this is infection-related.

[ROS] Hey!

What's urine got to do with confusion?

UTIs are the most common reason

why older folks become suddenly confused.

Ah,

so that's why Tess is always nagging me to get a urine test.

Hey, Tess!

If I become a ghost, you better watch out!

I'll tear your hair off one by one!

[PHONE RINGING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Answer it.

[SIGHS] She practically begged me not to contact anyone.

- [PHONE RINGING] - Then respect her wishes.

Why would you listen to Ros?

Maybe her family is worried for her!

Maybe that person knows her family.

[PHONE RINGING]

[ROS SCOFFS] That's not a contact.

That's a warning.

[CURIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Welcome!

OMG, Dolce.

I used to have one, but it ran away.

Either that, or I left it at CVS.

- Either way, respect. - Where is she?

Hi, Beatrice?

- Yes. - She's resting right now.

Thank God, we were so worried.

(In Tagalog) See? I told you, it's a good idea to call them.

The boss can also call the family members.

Is she your mom?

- Yes. - No. She's not.

But she's like family.

Is she okay? What happened to her?

She's okay. We gave her medication for the pain,

but we're gonna need full consent for a CT scan.

A CT?

Yeah, it could be something serious.

We can't afford that.

Girl, I know the perfect pawn shop for your bag

if you need some extra cash.

Oh, foot in mouth?

I'll go take my break now.

Yeah.

- [PRAYING IN SPANISH] - [QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Oh...

- [EGG CRACKS] - my god.

I didn't see anything.

I am just...

uh, looking for my lunchables.

Uh... [STAMMERS]

it's fine. You can look.

[SIGHS]

If I look, legally,

I have to report it. I don't know to whom.

But still, that did not look right.

I'm doing what my grandma used to do.

She was a faith healer.

And I'm a Christian,

so I'm used to the whole golden rule thing.

What?

Don't judge others

and get judgmental karmic acne, or whatever.

Right.

What are you doing that for, anyway?

Haven't you ever wanted to communicate

with the ghosts in this ward?

[SCOFFS] Did Camille tell you?

I ghosted that guy from Tinder.

He looked nothing like his profile picture.

Never mind.

Wait, like ghost ghosts?

Because I know how to open someone's third eye.

[QURIKY MUSIC CONTINUES]

[WHISPERS] What? Is that true? Really?

- [MONITOR BEEPING] - [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

- Go watch the kids. - Okay.

We were so worried about you.

- I doubt that. - Ros!

No, Noa.

You were not supposed to call them.

That's what she asked for!

We follow protocol.

Do you even know what these people have done to her?

Who the hell do you think you are?

If she did not collapse in the grocery,

nobody would ever know what you have been doing to her!

(In Tagalog) I just wanted to take a little break,

before I go back to...

She's just making up an excuse.

- That's not true. - Tell them.

Tell them how much you're getting paid to be their maid.

- But she's like family. - Liar!

This is labor, and she's abused.

- Ros, go outside. - Don't even bother.

- Now! - No!

- What is... - I'm so sorry, folks.

Ros!

- [ROS GRUNTS] - [NOA SIGHS]

[NOA] Ros!

- [BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING] - [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[BRIGHT MUSIC FADES]

[NOA] Ros!

Ros!

Please give us a minute.

Ros!

You don't hurl accusations at patients like that.

Just because she's old doesn't mean she's confused.

It's not our place.

This is all your fault.

You shouldn't have called them.

Trust me, Ros.

I can't break any more rules than I already have.

How about you trust me, huh?

Your mom may be a pain in my ass,

but she well knew enough to listen.

I may not have your degrees, or your straight A's.

But I have been there.

I have been there!

- Ros! - [TESS] Noa!

Shhh!

Let's listen.

[NOA SIGHS]

I'm listening.

[ROS TAPPING]

When I came to America,

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

I was desperate to send money to the Philippines.

Desperate for my son.

He's special.

I was a caregiver in the facility.

This Filipino sponsor seems so nice.

And you know, I have this sense of gratitude.

But then it became nonstop.

Every day.

Every hour.

Seven years.

With no day off.

Why didn't you just leave?

How could I?

She kept my passport.

I'm so sorry.

Not until I saw the flyers

of the Filipino Workers Center here in LA.

Led me to the consulate.

Then the FBI got involved.

I couldn't even make a call.

She said long distance was too expensive.

I can't talk to my son.

I can't even listen to his voice.

It hurts.

You don't know how lucky you are that you've been born here.

We...

we bleed just to get here.

Ros.

I'm so sorry you went through that.

[ROS SNIFFLES]

[ROS EXHALES]

Noa.

I don't need your pity.

Especially you, Tess.

I don't pity you, Ros.

I hate you most of the time.

But...

I always respect you.

Is she saying something?

She loves you more than she'd like to admit.

Oh.

So, what do you suggest we do?

It's not like you have those consulate contacts

on speed dial.

What if I do?

I wouldn't know what to say.

Uh...

you think...

you can hold them long enough?

[WHISPERS] I have a plan.

[TESS] Wow.

Now she has a plan?

I don't know. I don't know.

I get it.

It's so hard to trust. It's always just been you two.

I'm not asking for forever.

Noa.

Just this once.

Hmm?

Okay.

I'll follow.

You lead.

(In Tagalog) Hey, Tess.

You heard that?

I'm being a good girl here.

So don't you dare use magic on me

with your unspecified ghostly powers.

Just three hours.

Okay.

[WHISPERS] Okay?

Three.

[DOOR OPENS]

- [BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING] - [WAVES CRASHING]

[BRIGHT MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MUSIC FADES]

When do we get the results?

Oh, you can go.

Oh, here they are.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Our Consul General from

the Philippine Consulate General of Los Angeles,

ConGen Adel.

[MUSIC FADES]

And that lady over there,

our PWC representative, Ms. Malou Villacisneros.

The President of SIPA, Ms. Kimmy Maniquis.

[SCOFFS] What is this?

This is so cool.

It's like a mafia movie, but like, with good people.

We're here to assist Nanny Linda in coordinate support

from the Philippine government for a distressed citizen.

Wow, you can do that?

Yes, of course. We are mandated by the Philippine government

to promote and protect the welfare

of every Filipina wherever they are.

- Wow! - Mm-hmm.

And the lady over there, Miss Malou,

our PWC representative,

is here to help find

Nanny Linda's closest living relative.

You can't do this. I'm going to sue all of you.

She's not even a citizen.

I'm actually here to help out with that.

Mario Salgada, MTS Law.

Oh, that's ridiculous. You cannot do that.

You don't get to intimidate staff and patients here.

Step back.

Now.

Actually, as her counsel,

I'll be filing criminal and civil complaints.

We are here to advocate for Nanny Linda.

Mm-hmm. And I'm sure

Nanny Linda will be more than happy to sue you

for 30 years of unpaid labor

for three generations of your family,

not hers.

Ooh, girl, you are in trouble.

You might want to pawn that bag now.

I totally know a place.

Hi.

It's time to roll you over to Imaging now.

(In Tagalog) But that's expensive, right?

There are some nice people here.

They are going to take care of that for you.

(In Tagalog) Ma'am,

we have a surprise for you.

We've found your relatives on social media.

Lapis lazuli.

It's supposed to open someone's third eye.

- How do you know that? - ChatGPT.

No one had it, so I ordered one for you.

[JOSH GASPS]

Wow, that's-- that's very nice of you.

If Noa's taught me anything,

this job is about people, not just the work work.

Hey, um...

W-Would you be down for dinner sometime?

Maybe ghost hunting?

I'll bring snacks. And holy water.

Y-You have my number?

Yeah, saved.

I just couldn't spell your name.

Oh. Real name's Josh.

You're, like, totally blowing my mind.

Well, Josh is too approachable.

Well, text me if anything starts floating, Josh.

[JOSH CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Immortality.

You're not here to tell me anything.

You should be thankful that I'm here, not because of you.

It's another excuse for your daughter to hate me.

What a shame.

I really thought it would end well.

That is neither good nor bad, Tess.

It simply is.

[TESS INHALES]

Maybe...

I should be the one to tell her.

She might be asleep in front of the computer again.

Don't worry.

I gave her some extra time to say goodbye.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

He also told me

how hard you're fighting to keep your mom here.

[NOA SCOFFS]

He's really trying to piss me off.

I don't think spite is their purpose, dear.

Because you can't keep her here for the rest of your life.

She's all I have.

There are more people out there.

There are a lot of people waiting for me.

Exactly!

We just helped you! They were going to fly you back

to the Philippines to see your family.

I've been sick for a long time.

I think you already know that.

[NOA SIGHS]

[NOA BREATHES DEEPLY]

Don't cry.

You know what?

You've given me more than my whole 30 years here in America.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

That's not fair.

When did life become fair?

When were we given this kind of miracle?

That's what you gave me. You and Ros.

[SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES]

What for, dear?

I've lived a long life.

I've been suffering for a long time.
