The Client List (2012–2013): Season 2, Episode 1 - 'Till I Make It on My Own - full transcript

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.

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.

Come on. Haven't you ever done
a bad thing for a good reason?

Now, I think that I may
have a way out of all this.

But I need you
to do me one favor.

Don't give up on me.

I never gave up
on you, Kyle.

You gave up on us.

I know, mama.

I will be there.

Just take the kids
to school, okay?

I just need
to let my head...

I don't know,
get straight for a minute.

I'll get
the kids ready.

Thank you.

Mama!

I need to take the kids
to school.

Can I borrow your car?

What's happened to yours?

Riley, are you okay?

Mom!

Mommy!
Hey! Hi.

Mommy!
Hi.

I don't suppose
this is the best time

to tell me
what's what.

Now is certainly not
the best time.

Okay. Mama's gonna
take y'all to school.

Can daddy
pick us up?

Uh...

Not today.

Will he be here
tonight?

We're gonna talk
about that later, okay?

So, go on.
Get in mee maw's car.

So, how bad is it,
on a scale from 1 to 10?

I smashed
my own car window.

Calling that an 11.

Are you going back
to see him?

No. I'm gonna drop the kids off
and then go to work.

Our family has been just fine
without him for a year.

Mama, he left me
without even a phone call.

He may be locked up,

but...at least this time
I know where he is.

Ladies, all hairdressers
on deck, please.

As of today, the Curl Up and Dry
is switching to a brand-new

and very, very exciting
business model.

Which is guaranteed to suck.

Each of you gets
to rent your very own chair,

be your own boss,
make your own hours.

Pay our own salary?

Yes. Oh,
and health insurance,

but the upside's unlimited.

You're right.
This sucks.

No, I was wrong.

My friend Raylene's salon
runs this way,

and she makes
way more money than us.

We could save up.

You always wanted
to open your own place.

I'm sticking with, "this sucks."
In local news,

former U.T. starting
quarterback Kyle Parks

was arrested last night...
Not as much as that does.

...on suspicion
of robbing Houston's

Vandermeyer
Construction company.

Parks faces charges
for the alleged theft

of a semi truck
loaded with copper wire.

Parks is being held
by Harris county authorities,

where he will be arraigned
later this week.

If convicted, he faces
up to 10 years in prison.

Parks dominated...

Kyle Parks, local football hero

is being held
by Harris county authorities

and will be arraigned
later this week.

If convicted,
Parks faces up to 10 years

in the state penitentiary.

...Filled with copper wire

from Houston's
Vandermeyer Construction.

Kyle Parks, a Beaumont native,
has fallen far

from his high-soaring days
as U.T.'s starting quarterback.

Mr. Parks
was arrested last night

and is being held
at Harris County jail.

The investigation is ongoing
as police continue --

Well, if y'all have come
for a surprise party,

you are six months
too late,

and I hope
you brought me some cake.

Sweetie,
I know change is hard.

Mama, I really
don't want to hear it.

The Curl is using
a chair-rental system.

Do I like it?
Not one little bit,

but I have to face the reality
of the situation.

I have made my decision,
and I'm hiring an attorney.

Well, thank the lord.
If you haven't found one yet,

the guy who handled
my fourth divorce was great.

I am hiring Kyle
a criminal defense attorney.

Riley, you are not bailing
that man out of trouble.

I have to do something.
He's the father of my kids.

You can't afford
to pay some fancy lawyer.

You two should have
seen this public defender.

He couldn't even
zip up his own fly,

let alone
help Kyle win his case.

After all he's done,
it shouldn't be on you.

Lacey's right.
This is Kyle's mess, not yours.

I appreciate the input.

Actually, no.

No, I don't.

You know what?
End of discussion.

Lacey, we've got to
get back to work.

I'm waiting
in your car.

I'm not gonna stand around
watching her make a mistake.

Well, that went well.

So, you gonna
stay mad at me, too?

Riley, none of us
are mad at you.

We're worried...

and angry -- at Kyle.

I can't stand
seeing him

treat you and the kids
like this...

Especially
when you have better options.

Did I tell you
that Evan showed up

at the police station
last night,

and he brought doughnuts?
Jelly-filled?

Raspberry
and powdered sugar.

My favorite.

Oh, and yours.

Evan's a great guy.

He's been there for you

while Kyle's been out
holding up copper trucks.

Kyle did something illegal
to help his family.

I mean, how can I judge him
for that?

That is different.

No. We're both
breaking the law.

What you do at the Rub
might be illegal,

but you do not steal.

Those men...want you.

It's not like you're reaching
in their pockets

and grabbing
what's in there.

Not unless
it'll get me a bigger tip.

Lacey, I'm kidding.

Now, will you just
do me a favor, please,

and have my back
on this?

I always do.

I know. You're so good
that way.

Riley.

- You should go.
- Okay.

Guess you heard
the news.

Oh, yeah. I heard.

Just...
Tell me one thing.

Did he do it?

Well, at least this time
it's not your problem.

I'm hiring Kyle
an attorney.

You can't afford that,
Riley,

and why are you
standing by him?

Because he is...

Katie and Travis' daddy,
all right?

And you saw
that idiot public defender.

Are you sure you're doing this
for the kids and not you?

Evan...

I meant what I said
to you about us.

It's just...

I wish
we could be...

selfish.

Me, too.

Well, can I at least see you
after work tonight?

I have to meet
Kyle's attorney.

I thought you said

you weren't gonna let
Kyle's problems get in our way.

Hey.

Now, I'm gonna call you
when I get home tonight, okay?

Now, I promise.

Promise.

Come on.

Walk a girl
to her car?

High and dry.

Now we got clients
coming out of our asses.

I can't believe that
Jolene and Kendra just quit.

And Dee Ann
hurt her knee at zumba.

Riley...

We safe?

Yes. Yes, of course.
We are safe.

Unfortunately,
we have to stick together.

What about the police, huh?
They coming back here?

No, that had nothing to do with
the Rub and everything to do --

Your no-good husband?

Georgia, you're back.

And not a moment too soon.

Riley and I need to have
a meeting of the minds.

Selena,
tell the clients

that they'll be comped
a free massage for their patience.

Oh, great. Two-for-one.
Good thinking.

'Cause that's really
gonna help our schedule.

Still a smartass, I see.

And a pain
in one, too.

Some things never change.

Riley,
are you all right?

I saw the news
about Kyle.

Oh, I'm --

I'm hanging in there.

Well, if there's anything
you need --

Thank you.

I'm just glad
that you're back.

You know,
I was worried.

I mean, you just dropped off
the face of the earth like that.

I'm fine.
I just had to lay low

once that councilman
gave us heat.

Well, we did not hear one word
from that man after you left.

You're damn right.

I called in a favor from one
of my very powerful clients,

but I knew it was best
for everyone

if I just
stayed away.

But you're back
for good now, right?

Well, about that --

I've got a situation.

What do you mean?

There's this gentleman.

Georgia, you met someone?
Who is he? What's his name?

His name is Harold.

He's been on the back burner
for a few months,

but I must say
that while I was away,

our pots did boil over.
Oh!

That's great.

Oh,
look at that smile.

I'm happy for you.

Oh, me, too, honey.
Me, too.

So, what does
this relationship

have to do with
you coming back to the Rub?

Well,
Harold is a good man.

I don't want to have to keep
lying to him about what I do.

Georgia, this --
this place is your life.

And it cost me
my first husband.

I never want to go through
that kind of pain again.

Harold could be
my last chance at love.

So, what are you
gonna do?

The truth?

I don't know...

But until
I figure it out,

I want you to keep doing
what you're doing.

Okay.

Okay.
So, here's the plan.

We're gonna split
Kendra's clients.

You'll take Dee Ann's,
and I'll do Jolene's,

'cause we both know that you
don't want to do a legit massage.

All right, if you're gonna
get all high and mighty

about the kind of massages
we do, save it --

been there, heard that.
Yeah.

You wouldn't believe
the things I've heard

coming from your massages.
Oh, and there you go

with your little judge-y,
pageant-queen face.

Okay,
here's the new deal.

Whatever you and the client
decide in that room

is cool with me.

The room
becomes like Vegas.

Whatever happens in there
stays in there.

And no, uh...

Judge-y, pageant-queen face
from you?

And no stink face
from you?

You clear this
with Georgia?

Absolutely.
She's on board.

Really?

I'm gonna make
so much more money

than anyone
in this place.

Yeah, I really think that you're
gonna blow the clients away --

pun intended.

You know, I think
this is the first time

I've kind of liked you
since you started working here.

Speaking of work --
today's schedule --

you're gonna need something
to write this down.

You got a pen?
No, I got my phone, though.

Okay, you got Nelson
at 10:30.

He's got a comb-over,
so don't mess with his hair,

and I hope you brought
your pom-poms

because he loves himself
a cheerleader.

Sergio's at 11:45.

Oh, look at you.

You got a "pornographic"
memory.

So, who's first at bat
for you?

Oh, you know that guy
they call "Mr. Louboutin"?

Yeah, are you kidding me?
So, what?

Just because you're in charge
of this place now,

you get to pick
the best clients?

Well...

If the shoe fits.

Those are not just shoes.

They are a work
of art.

Beautiful shoes
for a beautiful woman.

You know what?

Shoes and flattery
do get you everywhere.

You know, I was real sorry
to hear Kendra up and quit,

but...I think you and I
are gonna get along just fine.

Really, now?
What'd you have in mind?

She used to take a stroll
up and down my back.

Really?
Kendra did that?

Mm-hmm.

That's a first.

Look, I promise...

I'll have you smiling
by the time you leave here.

Mrs. Parks.

Thanks for meeting me here.

I'm due in court
in 10 minutes.

Did you have a chance
to go over Kyle's case?

I reviewed your husband's case.
He has no priors, correct?

No, not even
a speeding ticket.

In other words,
other than this...

misunderstanding
with his employer,

Kyle's an exceptional
husband and father.

Yes.

Sure.

Well, uh...
based on my experience,

given that
he has no priors

and...if the missing
semi truck full of copper

were to mysteriously turn up
on the streets of Laredo

or any old place...

I'd say Kyle has a good chance
of beating these charges.

All we need is a retainer
of $5,000 to get started.

$5,000 -- up front?

Well, that's
how retainers work.

Well, I don't have
that kind of cash on me.

Cash.

Uh...only my criminal
clients pay cash,

and you don't look like
a criminal to me, Mrs. Parks.

I'll get you your money.

Won't leave you high and dry.

Travis,
your intestines look great,

but the science fair's
in half an hour. We got to go.

But daddy's
not here yet.

Why hasn't he come home?

Uh, he ran into
a little bit of trouble...

on his construction site,
you know?

So, he may not be home
for a while.

Is he ever
coming back?

Yes.

He will.
I just don't know when.

Tell you what -- why don't I
record the science fair,

and we'll send it to your daddy
so it's like he's there, okay?

Okay...

But I still wish
he was coming with us.

I know you do, baby.
I know.

Now, come on,
you worked so hard.

You don't want to miss it.
Let's go.

Careful.
Oh, those are intestines.

Hello.
I'm your amazing intestines.

I'm an organ
just below your stomach.

If you stretch me out,
I am 20 -- 52 -- 25 feet long.

Thank you.

Ignore them.

Biggest bunch of gossips
I've ever met.

They need to
mind their own bake sale.

Karina.

Our sons were
in kindergarten together.

Ethan. He's adorable.

You work at my bank?
Accounts manager.

I handle your home loan
and the PTA treasury.

I'm sorry about them.
No, it's all right.

Small town --
nothing's more interesting

than a fallen
beauty queen.

Well, my son
did his project on volcanoes.

Maybe we can toss a few
of them in there.

I think the universe
is gonna take care of them.

Hey, mommy.
Can I have a cupcake?

Uh...

Sure, baby.

Um...here you go.

Riley Parks. Detective Monroe.
We need a word.

Detective Dunbar,
Houston P.D.

You know,
Nathan says to say hi.

Riley. I'm really sorry
to bother you at Travis' school.

I'm so sorry,
but do I know you?

Oh, you probably
don't recognize me

without my helmet on.

I played at U.T. with Kyle --
but the other side of the ball.

Manny Monroe --
"Manny the Man"!

A few years and whole lot

of enchilada plates later.
Yeah, a whole lot.

Yeah, Mr. Triathlete here
can eat as much as he wants.

Well, I think you look great.

So do you, as always.

We need
to ask you some questions

about your husband's crime.
Manny...

You know Kyle.

I mean,
he's not a bad guy.

But I still need
to do my job.

Okay. Ask away.

Timeline --

so, Kyle leaves
the family home last year,

spends some time
south of the border,

comes back to get some
construction work in the states.

Sounds about right,
as far as I know it.

Did Mr. Parks
ever give you any funds

off the sale
from the stolen copper wire?

Is this one of those
trick questions?

No.

No one has given me
any money.

Really? You know,
'cause I can't help notice

you got a really nice
outfit there.

Manny the man here might be
your friend, but I'm not.

I'll be watching you.

Well, I'll try to give y'all
something good to look at.

Hey.
Travis, what's wrong?

Samantha's mom told me

I couldn't go
to the pizza party.

Oh, she did, did she?

I'll be right back.

I know.
That family.

Hey.

You still sober?

Your nose job looks great.

You know, I remember
taking care of both of your kids

when you guys
were having some problems.

You know,
I paid $22.50

for Travis to be able
to go to this pizza party,

so he's gonna
see y'all later, right?

That's what I thought.

Look, you can say
whatever you want

about me
and my husband,

but don't take it out
on an innocent child.

It's just not ladylike.

Who wants pizza?

Me! Me!

Whoo! Let's go.
Come on.

Ladies.

Thanks
for squeezing me in.

Of course. It was nice
to see you last night.

It was also nice
to see you tell them off.

I wouldn't have
had the courage.

So, how can I
help you today?

Well, uh, I need to open
a small line of credit

on my house

for some attorney fees.

I understand.

Riley, are you sure you want
to take on more debt?

Is there anyone
you can borrow the money from?

Any chance
of taking on extra work?

I don't know anybody
that has that kind of cash,

and...as far
as more income --

look, the thing is,
I need the money right now

for the retainer.

Okay. Let's see.

Well, you've got
some equity,

so that
should be fine,

but I see you've made
some large deposits in cash.

I'm a manager
at the spa,

and so...I get tips
on the massages that I give.

I get it,

but you know
how the IRS is.

They go after
the most hard-working people.

After we pull
this line of credit,

we'll figure it out.

I really appreciate it.

We single moms
got to stick together.

Let me guess.

Parks family grapevine?

Better than GPS tracking.

So, did you forget something
last night?

Evan -- to call you.
I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Protein. Hydration.

Look, I know you got
a lot going on.

Don't you think we deserve
a little selfish time?

Come on, then.

Spend some selfish time
with me?

Come on!

So, after
the papier-mâché fell apart,

we had to put the whole
darn thing back together again

using pasta
and a balloon.

Who knew the intestines
could be so fascinating?

Go with your gut --
that's what I always say.

Couldn't agree
with you more.

Oh.

Do you remember
senior year

when we found ourselves
out here all alone?

You mean when you dropped
your purse in the stands here

and everything spilled out?
Of course I remember.

Hours and hours spent crawling
around on our hands and knees.

Like a couple
of lunatics.

Yeah,
we did find everything.

No, we did not.

We never found
my lucky lip gloss.

Okay. I still
don't understand that.

How can lip gloss
be lucky?

You're never gonna
understand it.

It's a girl thing.

Well, it did get us
alone together in the stadium,

so maybe it was lucky.
Evan, put that down.

Oh, no.
What do we got here?

We got a brush,
we got a cellphone,

but where's
that lucky lip gloss?

Well,
that's right here.

Are you sure
that's the lucky one?

Only one way
to find out.

♪ I will meet you
down the line ♪

Give me that.

Hello.

Uh, sure.

Yeah, I'll be there
as soon as I can.

Thank you.

That was, uh,
Kyle's attorney.

Kyle.

Yeah, I got to go.

♪ I'll meet you down the line

♪ I will meet you
down the line ♪

I got your call.
What's the emergency?

You need to talk some sense
into your husband.

What's going on?

I told you
to leave her out of this.

She hired me
to get you out,

and this is
the only way, all right?

You have to give up
your accomplice.

Yeah, and I told you
that I can't.

Kyle, if it's the only way
to get you out, start talking.

Look, I know that it seems
crazy, but I have my reasons.

You just have to trust me.

Are you kidding me?

You've got
two kids at home.

You're gonna be
a stand-up guy for some crook?

Why don't you be
a stand-up guy for them?

The longer we wait, the harder
it'll be to cut a deal.

I'm sorry. Talking was
never our strong suit.

Riley,
don't walk out like that.

Like you walked out
on me?

Do not call me again until
he's got something to say.

Oh, lord.

Oh, hey, hey.
Hey, hold up.

So, Mr. Louboutin
brought in a friend.

You must have blown
his socks off yesterday.

Oh, lord. Please don't give
that many any new ideas.

Is he waiting on me?

Yeah, in reception.

You know, honey,

your -- your eyes are
looking a little swell,

and I don't mean that
in a good way.

Didn't think you would.
Must be my allergies.

You should see me
when I have hay fever.

Here. Try that.

Thank you.

Sure.

Like you said,
us Rub girls,

we got to stick together,
right?

Yeah.

I said that.

Right.

I was raving
to my friend Clyde here

about that amazing massage
you gave me yesterday.

Oh. So, you want a tour?
Okay.

Well, then,
let's start in my office.

There's a lot
of special things we offer.

Have a seat.

And we have
a lot of special girls.

Okay, so...you want to be
on the client list.

Well, that's...great.

Here's how it works.

If we accept you
onto the list

and you betray the Rub
in any way,

the guy that brought you here
is responsible.

You take us down,
you take him down --

we all go down.

Like dominoes.

It's how we keep
ourselves safe --

me, the girls,
the clients, everyone.

Now, whatever you
and the girl decide,

totally up to you, as long
as it is 100% consensual.

And the owner of the Rub
gets a cut of everything.

Oh, and there's
one more rule.

It's kind of like, um --
like the "Fight Club."

We don't talk about,
and we don't mention the list

anywhere outside this room.

There are many powerful
individuals on that list --

or so I've heard.

Yeah, and you're never gonna
find out who they are

'cause it is
completely confidential.

And I promise you,

they will crush
whoever violates those rules.

Who controls the list?

I'm the manager,
so I call the shots.

What about Georgia?

I'm gonna be taking over

more of her
responsibilities.

Now,
you have any questions?

Just one.

When can I start?

Hey.
Nice necklace.

Oh.

Yeah,
thanks for the referral.

That new guy, Clyde,
loves pearls.

A pearl necklace.

Really?

Okay.

Ew.

Kyle Parks,
your visitor's here.

What the hell
are you thinking?

You know, the last thing
I need right now

is a lecture from you.

Riley was just getting
on her feet.

Kids were doing great.

You come back here,
bring nothing but trouble.

I came home
for my family.

Yeah, they were doing
just fine without you.

You know, you should've
just stayed gone.

And you should stop
standing there

acting like you're
some kind of hero

when you're off sneaking around
behind my back.

You got something
to say to me?

Yeah, I do.

I saw you with my wife.

Riley needs me.

You know,
I've been there for her --

after you abandoned
your family.

Right.

And there was nothing in it
for you, right?

What kind of man takes advantage
of his brother's wife?

You never did have the balls
to go out

and make a life of your own,
did you?

All right, all right, all right,
all right, all right!

You should have
stayed gone, Kyle!

You should have
stayed gone!

Seriously?

Well, at least Kyle
left you something.

My window's being fixed.

I figured he wasn't gonna need
his truck for a while.

Well, it suits you.

Thanks for coming to get me.

I had no idea what I was
supposed to tell the kids --

that both their daddy
and Uncle are in jail.

Do the kids know where Kyle is?
No.

I wanted to wait
until after the arraignment.

Hopefully they'll
never have to know.

That's probably a good idea.
They've been through enough.

Got to protect them
as long as you can.

You know, are you gonna tell me
what you two were fighting about,

or are we just gonna keep
dancing around it?

We're brothers,
all right?

We got a lot of history,
and we're both hot-headed.

Oh, yeah.

Riley, don't you see?

You could leave Kyle right now,
and nobody would blame you.

Travis and Katie would.

They would never forgive me.

Look, Evan, I told you
that I can't just walk away,

and if you don't
understand that,

then I don't know
what we're doing here.

Buddy, you're wasting my time.
Why am I here?

You already made it clear

that you won't give up
your accomplice.

I have made
my share of mistakes,

but I am not gonna lose my wife
because of them.

All right, well,
I'm glad to hear that.

And, so, the name
of your accomplice?

I'm still not
giving that up.

But there is something else
that could help.

Some things that would mean
a lot more to a prosecutor

than just some copper wire.

Interesting place.

Oh.
It belongs to Harold.

He's redoing it,
but it's gonna be cute.

I think I have a solution
to your problem.

With Harold?
Go on.

Okay, so, you don't want to lie
to the man that you love,

but you can't let go
of the spa.

Because you girls need me.
Right.

But what if you helped us
with what we needed,

but you weren't tied
to anything on paper.

Riley,
what are you getting at?

Well, I think
you should sell it...

to someone that you trust,
somebody who knows the business.

Honey,
you are not suggesting --

My bills are piling up.

And with attorney fees,

I just don't know
that I'm gonna make it.

But if I was the owner --

Oh, but...

There would be
so much more risk.

Look, I'll be
as careful as I can,

but honestly...

...it's a risk
I just might have to take.

You would no longer have to lie
to the man that you love.

And no more secret life.

Think about it.

What are those for?

For being stupid.

For thinking of myself
and not you and the kids.

Oh.

It's been hard
on all of us.

I know it's not fair
to ask you to wait.

But it's what we got to do.

Until things with Kyle
get sorted out,

I'll take what I can get.

I'd regret it for the rest
of my life if I didn't.

Mommy!

Mommy, is that you?

Uncle Evan,
you're eating dinner with us?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, I was thinking
of, uh, making

Uncle Evan's
famous burgers and shakes.

Great! Yay!

Ooh, you know what would
make it even better?

If daddy
was here with us.

Hey, Georgia.

I've been thinking --
your proposal.

I'm selling you the spa.

Okay.

It's a deal.

Deal.

So, you're finally
passing the baton.

Hello, Judge.

After 20 years in the business,
it was time to move on.

After that nasty business
with the councilman.

I do appreciate you
getting him off our backs.

Long as I can
get off on mine.

Oh, you are a powerful man.

Indeed, I am.

However, there are limits
to my reach.

A request
for a search warrant?

Now, I'm stalling the
authorities as long as I can,

but I'm not sure
how much longer

I can keep them
away from her.
