Previously on The Client List. You got something to say to me? What kind of man

takes advantage of his brother's wife?

Kyle's the one that left you.

And I said for better or for worse.

Hit delete. What? You need to hit delete on the file that is you and Riley. And

then go into your trash folder and hit permanent delete. It's not that easy.

We believe Mr.

Parks to be a danger to society.

Look at you with the secret life.

You know me, woman of mystery.

I don't like to mix my...

Personal and professional that's right. That's your own little honey down at the

Academy You're under arrest mommy she won't get up what do you mean she

won't get up we'll go and try again Hi, baby. Hi.

You know that you're not supposed to be drinking right while taking that

medicine or while watching my kids

Thank

you you have my number

That was quick. How'd it go?

Well, apparently Mama can't have visitors for 72 hours, and I'm not even

supposed to call.

You haven't even spoken with her since she checked herself into rehab? No, I

woke up this morning, and she had packed everything and left a note saying how

upset she was about Katie. Just because she had a little bit too much wine with

her pain pill? No, it was more than that.

Five prescriptions for pain pills. I guess it's been going on since the

accident. And you had no idea?

No, I mean, I knew she was in pain, but Mama?

A drug addict?

Yeah.

Well, at least she admitted it and is asking for help. Yeah.

The kids have been through so much.

By the way, who's gonna help me take care of my kids?

We're all gonna pitch in. We did it before. We'll do it again. Thank you.

All right, I gotta get to work.

What? You could not possibly be going to work today. Really?

Who else is gonna pay for this place?

Ellie, come on. Let's go.

It's my dream.

We're heading into a dream.

Okay, well, I told you there were going to be sparks.

Let me just go get my oven mitts real quick. Be right back.

Hey, what is going on? All the lights.

Aren't doing that.

I don't do well in the dark.

You all smell something, huh?

Yes. My wallet.

It's me again.

I know we've had this discussion, but you have to bump the other people. You

cannot do this to me.

Oh, my God, the world has ended.

The English tea house is double booked. I don't have a venue for my sister-in

-law's baby shower. Why is it up to you to throw her shower in the first place?

Have one of her high-minded friends throw it for her.

Because it's important to Dale.

But when he asked me to throw his sister's shower, I didn't know there

were gonna be five more.

Well, okay, all right. If it's so important to Dale, why don't you ask him

for help?

because dale's on a run in santa fe like he always is when arlene has a shower

you know she thinks that we owe her because she lent dale and i money to

start our trucking company but we paid her back a year ago don't you just hate

those big brassy women who take over a room they're all sunshining y'alls but

you know they're just wishing you bad day yes taylor you have no idea how

annoying they are oh my god without the tea room i'm doomed no you're not

georgia said yes you've got the venue it's gonna be high-end and you get the

friends and family discount Raleigh Parks, you're a lifesaver. At least for

someone. Hey, she's going to be okay.

I hope so. Anyway, this shower is almost over, and I'm going to be with you every

minute just like you were with me this morning.

You better be, because Hurricane Earlene is a Category 5.

Looks more like a 6.

Simply Glowing. I'm Taylor, Lacey's boss. Actually, I'm my own boss. I rent

my chair.

Well, I'm poaching her for the weekend.

I want to be pampered. I know it's going to be hard, but I want you to make me

look more beautiful.

It is hard to believe that you're even pregnant. You look thinner.

I know, right?

It's my brother, Dale.

He's the one who looks pregnant.

Oh,

nanny number three.

Isn't she just the sweetest?

If that's sweet, you mean a total.

Okay.

No.

Okay.

All right, next up is the case involving the exclusionary rule addressing the

fruits of the poisonous tree doctrine is... Matt versus Ohio.

Thank you for playing, Trimble. Shelby.

Wong versus U.S. Gold star for Officer Prince.

Ow!

Oh, hey, Riley.

Uh, no, I'm just, uh, I'm at home.

Prepping for my police exam with my study group.

Oh, you know, I can watch them this weekend. All right. No, I'll be there.

I'll see you then. Bye.

Everything all right?

Oh, yeah. It was just my sister-in-law. The ultra-hot Riley.

Yeah, she just needs some help with her kids this weekend.

Mental note, good with kids helps hot sister-in-law.

I didn't realize that the rub was in the red light district.

Power adage, we're doing our best.

Hi.

Hi.

Riley.

As in life of?

Oh, not quite. That would mean I had it easy.

Um, family name.

What about you, Mr.

Monaghan? Oh, please, Dylan.

My mom was a hippie, thought I'd grow up to be Bob.

Oh, well, judging by that suit, I guess you didn't.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm about as far from being a folk legend as you can imagine.

I manage an overseas investment fund.

Oh, that sounds... Republican.

I know.

But fear not.

The only good thing about my job is that it pays the private school bills.

You're a dad?

Yeah, single dad.

Struggling work and their schedules.

I'm not going to lie.

I feel ripped in half. Oh, I hear you.

That's why I haven't been to the rub in more than a year.

Well, that is what I'm here for. Put you right back together.

Okay. Let me just put this underneath your neck.

There you go.

And we'll start with your chest.

Does that feel good?

Feels amazing.

Good. Because this is going to feel even better.

Wait.

Something wrong?

No.

But it is so nice just talking to you.

What do you say we take this whole get-to-know-you thing to this Italian

place in Houston that I know? We can ask each other awkward questions with our

clothes on.

I admit that does sound nice.

Let me guess. You have a policy against dating clients.

Yes, and I am the boss, so... Well, that's a shame.

I wish I'd met you outside of here.

You seem like the perfect girl.

You have no idea how often I hear that.

It's funny.

I've never said it to anyone.

Hey, can you put Mr. Monaghan in for 3 p.m. tomorrow?

I can put him in anywhere.

Oh, Nikki, did you get those lamps for the treatment rooms like I asked? I sure

did.

Halogen's for everyone.

Right, just what every girl needs.

Spotlight in her lady lumps. You know what? It's only temporary, okay?

George's electrician is busy today. He's gonna come by tomorrow and check things

out. Can't we just hire a different electrician?

Not unless we want to pay. He does this in exchange for massages.

So he's gonna work on our wire and we're gonna work on his? So inappropriate.

It's funny. And no, he's a happily married man who only wants legit

massages. So which one of you is going to be my team player? Not even asking

you. Nikki, it's your assignment.

So I get Bill Nye the science guy and you get Hottie McHotterson.

It's Dylan Hott. I didn't even notice.

And what your headlights are saying. Oh, well, at least there's some lights

working around here.

I'm inappropriate.

You're rubbing off on me is what's happening.

Hello?

Yes, this is Mrs. Parks.

Travis and Ethan.

What kind of trouble?

Careful. Hey.

Sorry. Hey. Hey, you two.

All right, stop.

Why don't you take him into your room, please? Go play.

I'm gonna beat you.

Hi. Hi.

I'm so sorry that I couldn't leave work on the school call. Here, come here.

Yeah. All right, shoot. What's going on?

Well, Mrs. Chang caught them cheating on their spelling test.

Is she sure? I mean, that doesn't even sound like Travis and Ethan.

Oh, wow.

Apparently, it's been going on since they started school.

Okay, so that would be just about the time his daddy got thrown in jail.

Well, my ex isn't behind bars, so what's Ethan's excuse?

You're okay.

I can't even make it home in time to see my son get suspended.

Hey, this isn't about us.

Travis is a good boy and made some mistakes.

Yeah, you have no idea how many times I've heard that.

I don't understand.

Your husband's lost visiting privileges. What? What did he do?

105-24, fighting with another inmate.

Fighting? My God, is he okay?

Lady, I look like a concierge to you?

Look, when can I see him again?

Have your lawyer call Adco.

Do you know every time I call a lawyer, it is like another car payment? But your

lawyer's the only one who can request an admin review.

Can you just, can you get him a message for me?

Not a concierge. I get it.

Oh, yes. Oh, you're right there, Lacey. Oh, that is just... Lacey, what are you

doing? I'm so good with that. Well, I'm just giving Evan a trim. What did you

think I was doing?

I don't even want to say, but it's after midnight.

And the kids are in bed. Read to and tucked in like you asked me to.

Lacey's offering to give me a little trim before my inspection tomorrow.

Hey, I heard about Lynette.

You, uh...

You feel like talking about it? No.

Actually, I don't.

Ah, wow. I have to be in Sugar Land early tomorrow morning.

Right. Yeah, well, I gotta get up early myself, so I guess I'll get going. Okay.

Thanks so much, Lace. You're welcome.

Bye. Bye.

I'm sorry.

It is really late.

Mommy? Hey, sweetie, what's wrong?

I got a migraine.

I think you mean a really bad headache. Come here.

I don't think I can go to school tomorrow.

Oh.

I think maybe you're just embarrassed about what happened.

You know what?

You just don't cheat again, okay?

I'm too dumb for those tests.

Hey.

Don't you say that. You are not dumb.

But I mixed up all the letters.

Well, sometimes when we're studying, you do...

Mix them around a bit.

Can you do mommy a favor?

Will you spell cake for me?

C... K...

It's that much?

For a consultation?

For educational testing?

Yeah, I'm going to have to call you back.

Oh, hey, Alice, how was Nikki's massage?

Spectacular. She's a real live wire, that one.

Speaking of, your estimate.

Wait, I thought this was a trade.

Well, it was. One massage gets you the estimate.

But if you want to get your electric room right again, it's going to cost you

$3,500. $3,500?

Is that the best you can do?

No, that's with the 10-finger discount for Nikki doing such a good job. You

call anybody else, it's going to cost you $1,000 more.

Okay, well, you're going to have...

You're gonna have to start today, because we need to get our power back

on. All right, well, I'm gonna need a check to start.

You got it.

Surprise!

Wow.

Look at all this, and you in your suit.

Oh, yeah, business, not birthday.

Thought we'd save the naked lunch for another time.

You look very handsome.

I guess I'm just surprised, that's all. Someone wants to take care of you for

once and not the other way around. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I'm a single dad. Trust me, I get it.

I don't remember the last time somebody brought me lunch.

Have a drink.

You know what, Dylan?

I can't.

Sure you can.

It's my hour, my time. If I want to spend it sipping champagne and giving

you a neck rub, well, customer's always right.

Well, that's... That is true, but I told you... No, no, no. You told me that you

couldn't go out with me. You didn't say anything about me bringing a lunch date

in here.

So technically, I'm not breaking any rules.

You're good.

And you are gorgeous and overworked.

And need a break.

Relaxing with a brilliant, yet modest, businessman.

So what's it gonna be?

Are you for real?

What do you want?

Look, my life is really complicated.

And my job is kicking my ass right now.

I just want to have a nice lunch with a beautiful woman.

whose company I really enjoy.

BLT toast?

Sure.

To eating in.

Yeah.

So, the lights are flickering, and then there's this big boom, and all lights go

out. Then it's all wires and fuses. I know the drill.

Literally. Yeah, that's the downside of being the boss. The buck stops here, and

then it rolls right back out to pay the bills.

Well, before you turn into a pumpkin, when can I see you again?

Uh... What we do here at the Rub, it is not a fairy tale.

It's a... It's a fantasy. I understand.

And I'm not looking to start a relationship right now.

And if I was, no offense, but it wouldn't be here.

None taken.

I just want to keep having a good time with you until I have to leave again.

Where are you going?

Hong Kong.

On business.

But before I go, your tip.

Dylan, this is like... A thousand dollars.

You are worth every penny.

I don't know what to say.

Say that you'll meet me in my hotel room in Houston before I leave for China.

Are you asking me to... Look, Riley, you are the most sensual, savvy

woman I have ever met, and being with you would be a dream come true.

I'll pay you $50,000 to sleep with you.

Just one time.

$50,000? That number is huge. I've heard figures like that in Paris and Tokyo,

not Sugar Land. This man really wants you. Yeah, well, the money is tempting.

Of course it is. Speaking of which, I'm going to need a little bit more time on

this month's payment.

Oh, with everything that's going on in your family? Of course. I can wait a bit

for a payment.

You know, you have a big decision on your plate.

I've never gone all the way with a client. In fact, the only man I've ever

done that with is my husband.

Are you telling me that Kyle is the only one who... Hello, Harold.

Nice to see you. What are you two up to?

Yeah.

Well, setting up for the baby shower, I see, and it looks great. Thank you for

hosting, by the way. Of course. Can I give you a hand?

Uh, no. No, no. Okay, well, I'll be in my office doing paperwork.

Okay, honey.

Good to see you, Riley.

Bye.

As we were saying, I was a virgin until Kyle, and I haven't slept with anyone

else. You're telling me all the while he was away, even while he was in jail, not

even once? Well, I was...

I was tempted.

Tempted? Is that what you call it? Yes, Georgia. Okay, I get horny. I've spent

some time with Rita Wright.

Rita Wright?

Look, I'm only human, but this is for money.

I mean, what I do with the rub, it's fantasy.

You know, this is real, and I'm just not that kind of girl.

Well, I think you've made the right decision.

Because once you've crossed that line, it's done.

There's no going back

Don't

peek

Okay. Keep them closed.

Alright, where did you go?

Alright, you can open them.

Happy anniversary, babe.

I'm just spending the rest of my life with you.

And you.

Yes, I'm calling about inmate Kyle Parks.

Still no phone privileges?

Okay, thank you.

Oh, thank God you got a head start on those favors.

36 hours to E-Day, and we still have about a million baby storks to assemble.

How's the game prep coming?

Riley, if you don't want to help me with Earlene's shower, I totally get it. I

know that you have a lot on your plate.

No, I want to help you, of course. It's just...

I have this decision to make, and I just want to make sure that I... I'm not

making the wrong one.

Anything I can help with?

It's Travis. That testing he needs, it's kind of pricey. Well, doesn't the school

pay for those tests?

No. Not since the budget cuts, so I have to hire a private company, and the

testing he needs is $800 to start.

Just for the tests?

And then what if he does have a learning disability? Then it's thousands of more

dollars in treatment.

And then when that's rehab on top of it. Yeah, I just feel like I can't keep up

as it is.

And I keep missing things, you know, like Mama and now Travis.

Riley, that is not true.

I kind of wish I could just snap my fingers and make a big box of money

appear. Oh, you and me both.

Hey, Selena.

Oh, something else is going wrong at the rub?

Sure, go right on ahead.

Lay it on me.

Riley, there you are.

Here's a new estimate.

New estimate? What do you mean?

I found another problem in one of the treatment rooms. Work's going to take a

little longer than I thought.

Yeah, well, it always does. Just come on by my office when you're done, and I'll

write you another check.

Not any problems? No, everything's fine here at the rub. I wasn't talking about

the rug.

You know, we should do one of those sexy car washes.

I am under enough water here, but I do appreciate the offer.

Yes. Work for Cameron Diaz. Riley, Heidi McConnerson's here to see you, and he

brought roses.

Roses. I know what that means.

I'm sure they're not for me. Hey, Selena, don't sleep with him.

Hey.

Hi. These are for you.

Oh, and, um, so is this.

Five o'clock, Stansfield and Houston.

I'll be waiting for you.

I... I can't.

Is it me?

Did I do something wrong? No.

No, you did everything.

If the circumstances were different.

So it's a no.

It's a very generous offer.

It's just not me.

I understand.

And more than understand, I respect your decision.

But I am leaving for six months.

Well, then I will see you here at the rug when you get back.

I'd like that.

Just in case you change your mind, you'll know where to find me.

Goodbye, Riley.

Goodbye.

Oh, excuse me.

Oh, yes.

That's him, isn't it? Oh.

He's quite a handsome man.

Yeah, he is.

Well, I bet it wasn't easy turning him down.

Not the way these bills are piling up. Oh, you came about the rub payment. Of

course not, with everything going on.

But with the way you were looking yesterday, I just thought I'd come by,

check on you.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I mean, I've got attorney fees and family stuff and repairs that were

supposed to be free.

Well, I am not here to put more pressure on your shoulders.

I just can't be sleeping with that man.

I know, honey.

I know.

A long, long time ago, when I was an escrow on the rub, my ex ran off with my

whole bank account.

And I received a timely offer.

Georgia, you accepted it?

The next day, I closed escrow and I got my business started, but I also bought a

lifelong regret.

So now you understand what I was saying when I hired you.

No girl should ever have to do anything that makes her feel uncomfortable.

This fist fight has complicated everything for Kyle. Yeah, I'm sure it

has, but I thought that you were going to make a deal. Yeah, I'm trying, but

prosecutors still want your husband to give up everything he knows about

Vandermeer, including Kyle's accomplice.

I know this guy helped Kyle get clean. Wait a minute.

His accomplice helped him get clean?

I assumed you knew.

No. No, I didn't.

Um, may I give you some advice?

Only if it's free.

You're sacrificing everything for your husband Just make sure you're looking

out for yourself as well.

I Would make a contingency plan put away some money for a rainy day Cuz Kyle

might be put away for a long time If

you wanted to talk to your wife and you couldn't it is very important, please

just let me talk to I'm sorry

I didn't think you'd show up.

Neither did I.

You look stunning.

I'm not done yet.

You know, I really think that this place is cute. Don't y'all love it?

Oh my God, I'm so glad. I was so worried. It reminds me of that dive bar

we used to go to back in college. What was it? The Thirsty Armadillo.

Oh, Earlene, you didn't go to college.

Honey, I spent three semesters at JCC.

JCC's hard.

Oh, no, I can't sit down.

But that was before the twins were born. Yeah.

family comes first she has sacrificed so much i know i'm always telling dale that

too oh he's telling dale what well that you got to make sacrifices to get ahead

like he should buy one of our hvac franchises but he's too damn stubborn if

he'd listen to me he would be here right now and not out on the road well dale

loves his job and wayne isn't here either oh honey you can't compare the

two anybody can drive a truck

Must be nice to have yet another child.

Oh, yes, I can't wait to meet our little angel. And soon it's gonna be just

midnight feedings and all night crying.

Well, and don't forget about the baby.

Oh, yeah, it is hard, and then your life, it changes forever. That's

why, Lacey, you're lucky.

Yeah, I'm living the dream.

Would anyone like some more scones, Lacey? Could you please help me with

this?

Oh, oh.

She is really a piece of work.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just need Riley to get here. She keeps her lean in check and keeps me

from killing her.

You know, I mean, if they only knew how lucky they were. I would kill for

sleepless nights. Well, your time is coming. I know it.

What's wrong?

I want to kiss you.

I have sort of this Julia Roberts pretty woman thing, so... No kissing.

This isn't working.

I don't want all this. I want... I want the real you.

Okay, but, you know, what we're doing here, it's not real, so...

Maybe not to you, but it is to me.

You're the first woman I've been with in over a year.

When did your wife leave you?

She left me and the boys 14 months ago.

14 months, two weeks, and eight days.

If you don't mind me asking, why did she leave?

She, um... She claims that she fell in love with someone else.

That I worked too much, that I wasn't emotionally available. All I know is

everything I ever did, I did for her and my kids.

I begged her to stay, to not break up our family, but she wouldn't change her

mind.

You're the first person I've talked to about this.

That's good.

I need to get that stuff off your chest.

It's not the sex. It's... Riley, there's something

about you, something special.

Something that can fix what she broke. I feel like you understand me.

I do.

And I want to understand you, too. See, the real you.

Can we just forget about everything else and just enjoy each other?

Hey, it's me. Where the heck are you?

Earline is driving me crazy.

God, Riley, I need you here. Now.

You wanted the real me.

So... Here it goes.

I'm a single mom.

My husband...

and I have been deadly insecure ever since.

I lie to my family and friends about what I do.

Oh, Hal, I lie to everyone about everything.

And I hate it.

And here I am.

And I'm asleep with you for $50,000.

A mess.

A beautiful mess.

Why does a guy like you want to sleep with me for $50,000?

Because I don't want to hurt again.

Well, look at us.

Two beautiful messes.

This is Riley.

You know what to do.

Kyle? Riley.

You told me how desperate you were, and I didn't get it. Are you okay? You sound

like you're crying.

I'm okay.

I'm okay. I just... Talk to Graham about the deal.

No, it isn't that. I just... I can't.

I can't. Riley, talk to me.

Well, last but not least, Dale and I wanted to give Earline something special

to welcome her newest bundle of joy.

Well, isn't that quaint?

Quaint?

Well, I mean, it's just very country.

It's real pine. Dale made it himself with his own two hands.

It's just like my brother to do something like this. I mean, we just

finished the nursery.

That thing is going to totally clash.

That thing?

All of you know that Dale spent three months working on that thing. Nights,

weekends. Don't even get me started on the safety issue.

Oh, no, honey, you have already started. You do not deserve this gift, not with

that attitude.

And furthermore, don't you think that I got this? I have had it, Earlene. I've

had it with you and your... Lacey, why are you yelling?

I want you to hear me loud and clear.

You will not put Dale down in front of me. It ends today.

Oh, and another thing.

Dale and I may not have kids yet, but we are a family.

Your family.

Got it?

I never.

Well, you have now, Earlene.

You have now.

Well, I'm about to get on the road, and I just want to tell you...

You were right.

How did that taste in your mouth?

Oh, honey, I am so sorry.

Gail's my big brother.

You know, he's always protected me.

I was always in his shadow, and you know he cast a big one. Is this an apology or

not?

Oh, when I married Dwayne, I finally came into money. And here I am, the

first chance I get to help you all out with your first truck, and I just lord

it over you.

Yeah, you tear Dale down every chance you get.

Oh, but I don't mean it, Lacey.

It's just how me and my girlfriends bond. We rip on each other's husbands.

Believe me, I know how awesome Dale is.

And he worships the ground you walk on.

The only time I get any attention from Dwayne is when something is coming or

going down there.

Well, how about we find another way to bond?

Honey, I am in.

Well, Lacey, thank you for the shower.

It was absolutely perfect.

There you are.

I was so worried.

Is everything okay with your mom? With mama?

Isn't that why you're late?

No, Lace, it was, um, it was sort of a work situation.

So what, whoa, whoa.

So you missed this for work? Please, I need you to understand.

No, I'm always there for you, whatever you need.

I think I understand just fine.

Lacey.

Well, I guess you need a drink.

Hey, sorry.

I'm late. You are a lifesaver. Hey.

You know, I didn't know someone like you would have so many trashy mag...

magazines.

Yeah, you know, I just gotta keep up with Will and Kate.

Will and Kate.

Please, I'm looking at Lil' Lohan.

I mean, so what? The girl goes commando. I don't know the big deals anyways.

It's not like she's banging some random tourists.

But when I did that, he... he tipped really big. Yeah, I'm sure he did.

How was the shower?

It was great.

Great. Lots of baby stuff.

That's good.

Kids sleep like rocks.

Thank you very much.

I'm going to take this as my cue. Thanks again.

I'll see you in the morning.

I threw my hands in the air and said, show me something.

He said, if you dare, come a little closer.

What is going on?

Talk to me.

Riley, I'm sorry about the fight.

And that I couldn't see you.

I really need you now.

I need you too.

And Travis, he needs you so badly and he's having a really hard time in

school.

Okay.

Well, he's gonna have his daddy home a lot sooner than we thought.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about I'm getting out of here.

choice to make.

I chose you.
