The Client List

Previously on The Client List...

Come on. Let's give daddy his presents.

I'll bring my gift next time I come over.

Didn't have time to shop.

What? You too busy to get your big brother a present?

The bank called again about our mortgage.

You and me, we're gonna get through this together,

like we always do, right?

Yeah.

Kyle?

Kyle left me, and I have no idea if he's ever coming back.

Kyle's been ne a while.

It might be time to let the house go.

Their daddy's gone. I can't take their house away, too.

Riley Parks. We spoke on the phone about the job.

Oh, right. When would you like to start?

Hi, Hank.

I don't want to be rude, but the girls that don't give extras

don't really do very well here.

90% of what we do here is legit.

I have a client list for a few guys

who like a little something extra.

What if I was interested in something that weren't on the menu?

What are you looking for?

The guy on your table was a cop.

I know you... from the spa.

Next time we meet, I might not be so nice.

I'm not quite sure what I would do without you around here.

A guy can't step in for his brother?

I didn't think I'd be doing it alone.

You are not alone.

Oh, my God. Kyle.

Can I at least peek in and see the kids?

Where are we?

We are in a good place.

Kyle coming back doesn't change anything.

I want you to run the spa.

In that file cabinet,

there's a little book with some very big names in it.

The client list?

I heard you were in trouble.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

Are you in trouble?

Riley, are you in trouble?

I'm sorry.

Kyle, I'm so sorry.

What? What is it?

What's going on?

There's something I need to tell you.

Riley.

Sorry about this.

Me too.

Kyle Parks, you're under arrest.

Hands behind your back.

Let's go! Hand's behind your back.

Goodbye.

Kyle.

...can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Kyle, what the hell is going on? You have the right to an attorney.

Kyle, what did you do?! If you cannot afford an attorney,

one will be appointed to you.

It's not what you think.

I'm here to see Kyle Parks.

Go to the waiting room,

and we'll call you when we're ready.

Wow.

That is a beautiful family that you've got there.

You know, I bet if their daddy was being booked for something,

you'd want to be able to tell them

what he was being booked for, right?

Their daddy might be in that picture,

but he hasn't been in mine in years.

Good for you for going it alone.

My guy has been gone for, you know, a year, and...

Look, I really just need something to tell my kids.

The state of Texas

does not allow me to divulge any information

till he is booked and processed.

Nice to know some of them come back.

Thank you.

Hey, mama. It's me.

Sweetie, what's wrong?

Is everything all right? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm -- I'm fine.

Um...

I'm at the county jail.

Uh, it's Kyle --

I think he's in some sort of trouble.

That man is nothing but trouble. What's he done this time?

Honestly, I don't even know what to think.

Look, you may have to take the kids

to school tomorrow morning.

Sure thing.

And whatever's going on with Kyle,

remember what I always say.

I know, mama.

"Husbands are like pancakes.

There's no shame in throwing the first one out."

And I should know. I've had my share of pancakes.

Okay, bye.

Riley.

Riley.

Hey, there, sleeping beauty.

I come bearing doughnuts.

I'm sorry. I must have dozed off.

How long have you been here?

Oh, not long. I just got here.

You know how it is at your house.

Linette called Lacey. Lacey told Dale.

Dale called me.

Please, tell me this is all some kind of misunderstanding.

That's what I'm hoping.

I got you jelly-filled.

Cream, one sugar.

Oh, and if you're gonna fall asleep

on a police-department bench,

you should take better care of your purse.

Diary's gonna fall out.

Oh, you know what?

That's just some accounting stuff from work.

You didn't have to come down here so late.

Any excuse for an apple fritter and a cup of lukewarm coffee.

You holding up okay?

Better now that you're here.

Listen...

No matter what's going on with Kyle,

it doesn't change my feelings.

Me, too.

Mrs. Parks?

That's me.

Howdy.

I'm, uh, Hal Burkett,

your husband's public defender.

Whew. Got his file right here.

Parks, Kevin.

Kyle. Oh.

All right. Here we go.

Oh. Thank you.

Whew.

Felony theft.

Uh, your hubby --

uh...can we, uh, talk in front of this guy?

Yeah, he's his brother.

All right. Your, uh...

Your husband allegedly stole a semi truck full of copper wire

from a company he was employed by.

Well, that can't be true.

Like I said, "allegedly."

Okay. Why would someone steal copper wire?

It happens all the time on my construction sites.

It's worth thousands on the black market,

but...my brother?

Yeah, I mean, he's a lot of things,

but he's not a...thief.

Well, good news is,

you know, it's just one charge.

If your husband pleads out --

that means "guilty," by the way --

we're not looking at that much time --

a couple of years.

You haven't even talked to him.

I mean, what if he isn't guilty?

Uh, look, like I said,

it'll go a lot smoother for Kevin --

Kyle.

Uh, Kyle, right.

Mrs. Parks, I've fixed it so you can see your husband now.

Thank you.

Do you want me to go with you?

No, that's the last thing I need is you two in a room together.

Hey.

Kyle.

Yes, ma'am.

Sorry.

Why are you here, mee maw?

Yeah, where's mommy?

She had to do some mommy errands, but she'll be back real soon.

Don't you worry, sweetheart.

But mommy said she was gonna help me

"prehearse" for the science fair.

I can help you "prehearse."

I'm all ears.

Now, go on, honey. Go get your report.

Is daddy coming to the science fair tonight?

We'll have to see about that.

Kyle, I can't help you without the truth.

Just...what did you do?

The truth or I walk.

Look, when I got clean...

I couldn't come back to you and the kids empty-handed.

The kids wanted you to show up. They don't care about money.

Yeah, but I do.

I care about providing.

I care about being a man.

So, you stole. From crooks.

That construction company is run by a bunch of thieves.

And you're different because...

Well, I guess I'm not.

Look, I know I did a bad thing.

All right, but that money waz for you and the kids.
