Previously on The Client List. You've met someone? I'm Harold. It's a

pleasure. Your client Lisa has been in here multiple times a week. I left my

husband. Let's talk about us.

We work together.

It's just a little naughty fun on the side.

No strings attached.

You think that I'm a thief? I quit.

Nikki, she's in trouble. She's working over at Wild Nights. That guy's no good.

What makes you think Carlisle's gonna listen to you? Because he's driven by

money. Is there something going on with you and my brother? I don't know. You

never did have the balls to go out and make a life for your own, did you? We

absolutely cannot do this anymore.

You're under arrest.

I had no idea you were so strong. There's a lot about me you don't know.

Prosecutors want Kyle's accomplice. I had it. A choice to make? I chose you.

What do you want?

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

I just need Riley to get here.

Riley, I need you here. Where the heck are you? Do you miss this for work? I'm

always there for you, whatever you need. I need you to understand. I think I

understand just fine.

Kyle?

You're out?

We did it, baby.

You got me out.

You're beautiful.

Beautiful slut.

Hi, baby.

The daddy-daughter dances tomorrow, but daddy's at home.

Oh, he will be.

Soon?

Yeah, um, you know what? When your daddy was away playing football, your Uncle

Evan, he took me to prom, so I wouldn't have to go alone.

He did?

Mm-hmm. Pretty good dancer, too.

Better than daddy?

Well, maybe just a little.

Do you think he'll take me?

You're just gonna have to ask him, won't you? We girls have to do everything.

I know, right?

Oh, I love you.

Morning.

I told Taylor I would handle Lynette's clients while she's in rehab. She said

her appointment book was here.

I'm in a rush. I've got a bridal party coming to the salon.

Okay. So we're doing this.

Is she okay?

She's fine. You know, Mama.

She can bend, but she won't break.

Well, look, Lacey, I am punishing myself as it is.

Okay, so the cold shoulder thing, it really isn't necessary.

Well, sometimes I'm too good at holding a grudge. Did you handle your sitch?

Huh? You said you missed Earlene's shower because you had a situation at

work.

Oh, yeah, um, it was an electrical thing. Anyway, thanks for helping, Mom.

Of course.

I'm gonna run.

Hey.

I just got a message from Katie, who's on my way to the academy.

Everything okay?

She called you? I am so sorry. It is nothing that you needed to come over

here for. Katie, your Uncle Evan is here.

Uncle Evan, can you take me to the daddy-daughter dance tomorrow?

You know what?

There's nothing I'd rather do.

And I have a feeling you're going to be the most beautiful one there.

You believe I'd have celebrated my 10-year anniversary?

10 years? Wow, that is a long time.

My wife insists we do traditional anniversary gifts.

Do you know what 10 years is?

Mm-mm.

10.

10.

Wow, that is a tough one.

Yeah, three words.

10 beverage time.

I'll fill that bad boy with ice, some beers, and call it a day.

I think I'm gonna do the good stuff.

I'm suddenly feeling a little feverish.

I'm talking, dirty mama.

No, no. No, like a flu coming on kind of feverish. So I'm just going to have one

of the other girls finish your massage because I wouldn't want you to get sick.

I'm going to need you to take over my massage.

Oh, sorry. No can do.

Why, are you a little too freaky-deaky? No, not at all. I just feel like I'm

coming down with something.

I heard there's a nasty bug going around. See? Nasty bug, and I'm getting

it.

Can you take over my massage?

Sure, I got him.

Oh, and remember, it's starve a fever, feed a cold.

Or is it feed a fever, starve a cold?

You should rest.

There's a walk-in for a deep tissue massage if anybody's got time.

Not it.

Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it. Even though I really do really start and

fight some.

I'll let him know.

Oh, I get it.

You're atoning.

12 years of Catholic school.

Should have kept that uniform.

I am just a massage therapist trying to give a legit massage, plain and simple.

Mm-hmm.

You know, when I was babysitting the other night, you came home looking upset

as a sinner and a cyclone.

It was Dylan, wasn't it?

Come on, tell me.

Come on, how much you pay you?

I bet you made a truckload.

Look, the guilt goes away. You know, I'm not feeling like an Oprah moment right

now, so... Look, I was just trying to help, you know. We need somebody to talk

to. I'll bring it up.

Well, okay, fine.

What's this?

I'm ordering more glasses for the bar, and you have the best taste. Oh.

This one.

I like that you know when to let me decide.

Well, I like that you know what you want.

Oh, Riley, hey.

Hey, sorry.

Am I slowing your roll?

Only temporarily.

I'm gonna go order these glasses.

Well, all that loving make a girl jealous.

What's up on that? I am having a rough day.

Want to talk about it? Well, let's see. I am married, and I slept with a man for

money, so there's always that. I crossed a line that you told me that I shouldn't

cross,

for me to drink during the day? Oh, not today.

Whiskey. Whiskey? All right, then.

That guilt is just eating me alive inside.

I can relate to that.

Hey, why don't you come to church Sunday? That is so not what I thought

you were going to say. Come on, Raleigh, I'm serious. This is the only place that

will lift me up when no one else can.

You know I met Harold there.

Yeah, I don't think that church and I are going to be getting along right now.

Harold, honey, come over here and tell Raleigh about Southern Hope Baptist. I'm

trying to convince her to go to church Sunday. Oh, that place always lifts me

up. You know, that's why I met Georgia. Oh, God, please tell me you two are not

going to start dressing alike.

No, no, we wouldn't steer you wrong. You should come.

I mean, the choir's gonna be amazing, and the coffee ain't bad either. Oh,

that coffee is terrible. So bad.

Oh, yeah, don't drink the coffee. Okay, well, I'm in.

Hey,

Gene, it's Lacey from the salon.

I just wanted to let you know that something came up, and Lynette isn't

available for your appointment, but I'd be happy to do it for you.

Yep, same time. Okay, see you then.

Hey. Would you mind turning up that dryer in ten minutes? I gotta go rinse

Miss Coleman before she ends up looking like strawberry shortcake. Of course.

Bless your heart for helping Lynette out in this way. You're a good person.

I'm doing what I can. She's been like a mama to me.

Well, I'm sure it takes a load off Riley, too.

Can't say that I'm not a little envious of you two. Y'all are closer than me and

my sister will ever be. Don't ever let anything get in the way of that.

Oh, hello.

Curl up and dry.

Laundry room.

So I'm going to enter my grandpa Orville's pickles into the Taste of

Texas contest.

I told you that I'm already sorry enough for both of us. You don't have to make

me eat those in the morning.

Good.

Good. These things are better than good. They're salty, garlicky, crunchy spears

of heaven.

Speaking of heaven, you want to go to church with me?

I'm kind of maxed out from Lynette dragging us there every Sunday.

Oh, um... I'm really sorry that I let you down.

Oh, my God.

These are Hakari Jaguar scissors.

Okay.

Church. The scissors. What are you keeping from me?

Nothing. Really?

Remember when you shaved Ken and Barbie's heads?

You were so scared to tell me that you bought me the Barbie dream pool?

I didn't make it to the shower because I was with a man.

You had a date and you didn't tell me?

What about Kyle?

No, it wasn't a date.

One of my clients paid me $50,000 to sleep with him.

And you can be mad at me.

Or yell at me now or something, anything. Just don't... Don't do that

deep freeze thing.

Well, I just... I might just need a minute to wrap my mind around this. I

mean, I'm sitting here telling you about my Grandpa Orville's pickles and you

tell me that you... You had sex for $50,000?

I mean, this is exactly what I was worried about when you started doing...

Whatever it is that you're doing. You know what, Lacey?

I've really needed the money.

And it's just a one-time thing, so... Please don't look at me like that.

I told you I feel bad, okay? But when you look at me like that, it just makes

me feel like I'm the worst person in the world.

I am not judging you.

I'm just worried about you.

Hi. On second thought, I think we could use us some church.

Yeah, I'm sorry for just stopping by.

I wanted to surprise the kids. I didn't know that you were being released so

soon.

I should have called. I'm gonna go make sure the kids are ready for Sunday

school.

So, um, we're just heading out. Church, yeah.

Yeah, you can come if you want. Or I could just, you know, call you.

When we get back, where are you going to be?

I got to meet with the lawyer.

Okay.

Daddy!

I missed you. I missed you too so much.

Mama, can we stay home with Daddy?

He is meeting, so... You're not going to leave us again, are you? Oh, no.

No. I'm never leaving you ever again.

Pinky swear?

Pinky swear.

It's time to go. Okay.

I can call you when we get back so that you can spend some time with them.

Think you swear?

Yeah.

This is your final tactical simulation.

It is pass or fail.

We have a hostage rescue scenario.

And I don't need anybody looking stupid on my watch.

Shelby, you free for dinner tomorrow night?

You're asking me on a date now? Right before our last tactical?

Yeah, I am.

Thought you'd never ask.

Fat Jacks will pick you up at 8.

What,

you got something against barbecue?

I'm a vegetarian.

You serious?

Hope you're not that gullible during the hostage rescue.

Lacey, that guy's from the list.

So is he.

Harold, hey.

Hey, Riley. Hi. I'm happy you made it. We sold you on that coffee, didn't we?

Yes. Come on, let me introduce you to Pastor Duncan.

Good to see you. Good to see you. Pastor D. Hey. Hey, man. Meet my girls, Riley

and Lacey. Hi. These ladies are friends of Georgia's.

Oh, okay. It's nice to have you. It's always good to see new faces. And Saj,

Riley here just took over the rub.

Is that right? Yeah, I did.

And I owe her everything. Because of her, I get to spend more time with my

lady. Okay, well, I have to stop by. I've got a bum shoulder that could do

some work.

If someone fouls too hard in our basketball league, but it wouldn't be

Christian to call him out by name.

You know what? It was a pleasure to meet you, and we should get a seat. Yeah?

Okay. Enjoy.

Take care of that bum shoulder. Okay.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning.

Pass it down.

I guess I should just put my scissors in there. No.

Do not get the big guy anything sharp he can use against me. If I were you, I'd

pay up.

Hey, I'm not the one who's trying to get square with God.

I just

celebrated 20 years of marriage.

People say I must feel lucky, blessed, like I've accomplished something.

And yes, I feel all those things.

But marriage is a commitment, not a feeling.

Marriage is work.

Marriage is honor and honesty.

Is he talking to me? He's looking right at you.

Well, you can probably see that broken halo hanging off your head.

Marriage is appreciating your partner, treating them with respect.

Be kind to your husbands.

Is it hot in here?

Do your best to lift each other up.

Adulteress.

Adulteress! Adulteress!

Raleigh, what are you doing? I'd like to acknowledge... All the way from Des

Moines, Iowa, Pastor Thomas.

And Pastor Williams gracing us with his presence from Tallahassee, Florida.

All right, you've agreed to testify, and you know that your immunity is

contingent on your testimony.

All right, now's the time to be squeaky clean.

Can't be around any convicted felons. Can't even jaywalk.

Understood. Then get a job.

Look, I get it.

All right, I want to provide for my family.

This is your witness prep.

You have little credibility, and Vandermeier's lawyers know it.

They're going to try to slice you up.

Let's run through a few of these and see where we are.

Is it true that you left your family?

Answer the question, Mr. Parks.

You left your wife and children to buy drugs in Mexico. Yes or no?

Look, I don't understand what any of this has to do with Vandermeier.

I saw him make false insurance claims. I mean, the guy bribed a congressman.

He's guilty.

Answer the question.

Look, do you mind if I just go over these on my own first?

Just to be clear, this is the most important thing you can do for you and

your family.

Get it right.

Harold.

Hi. Hey.

Everything okay?

To be honest, I don't think that I belong here.

I guarantee the folks in this building have felt that way before.

I mean, I was a...

musician on the road, so I've done my share of sinning.

Does Georgia know?

Like the back of her hand. That's the good thing about us. We don't have any

secrets.

I know it's not my business, but if something is bothering you... It's just

the sermon. It hit pretty close to home. I'm having some trouble in my marriage,

and I shouldn't be talking to you about this.

Not to pry, but have you and your husband tried talking to someone?

You mean like counseling?

Yeah. No, we've never been.

If you're open to it, they offer it here at the church.

It might be good to talk through things. Yeah, a lot of damage has been done.

I'm not sure this is the kind of thing that gets better by talking about it.

Yeah.

It might be a good place to start.

Maybe.

You're a good man, Harold.

You're not going to want to miss the testimonials. People say the damnedest

things. It's very entertaining.

Okay.

All right. Now, you know what time it is.

If the spirit moves you, then please stand up.

Testify.

Okay.

Brother Harold.

One of the best days of my life was when I found the good man upstairs

and stopped acting a fool.

And the next best day was when I found Georgia.

You make me a better man.

Georgia Cummings, will you marry me?

Yes.

I

have

a little testimonial of my own.

At last.

I found a dream that I can speak

to.

Sorry, did you need more time to undress?

Just a little something to thank you for motivating me to leave that god-awful

marriage I was in.

Lisa, I... I can't accept this.

Please.

Divorce is making me a rich woman.

And a single one.

Now, is there any chance you could unzip me?

I ache all over.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey.

Thanks for calling. Yeah, the kids have been dying to see you. Um, how did it

go? With the attorney, are we safe? I mean, with you testifying and

everything? Yeah, we're safe.

Okay, I just would be lying if I didn't say that this whole Vandermeier thing

makes me very nervous.

Look, I get that, but you heard what Graham said, right? The police are

watching him, and he'd be a fool to come after us, and he knows it.

Everything's going to be okay.

Hey,

there's nothing to be scared of, okay?

Um, we're going to eat.

Do you want to stay?

Yeah, they're really nice. Daddy, come see the pictures we drew for you. We

drew you a picture at Sunday school.

Dad?

Hey.

Hi.

So, uh, saw Lisa on the books.

Thought you'd cut her off.

Hmm.

Why don't you look at that fancy watch of yours and tell me what time it is?

Oh, wait, I know.

It's seven minutes past. What the hell are you thinking, accepting gifts from

crazy-ass clients?

She caught me off guard.

I want to keep her around. She pays well.

She is one glass of wine away from tying you up in the attic and boiling your

bunny.

Look, taking that watch is just a bad idea.

Why? Mr. Louboutin buys you shoes.

What's the difference?

Okay, first of all, Mr.

Louboutin is not trying to make me his wife.

And that's no Folex.

What are you doing to her?

Just the usual.

Oh, the usual.

Mm-hmm.

Like what, um, like we do?

Usual? Mm-mm.

What we do is better than usual.

Low weight.

Wait, are you... My what?

You're jealous.

Please.

She's just a client.

Fine, fine. Crazy.

And I mean, she's batshit crazy, but whatever you want to do.

She can't do this, though.

Which one? Are you crazy? That does not look like her.

You look like a grandma.

It's like I spotted Bigfoot.

It's strange, isn't it?

My babies look happy, though. He does. Come on, don't shoot.

So is he, I mean, is this like, you know, Riley and Kyle business as usual?

You want to remind me what that looks like?

Oh, my God, I forgot about the dance.

Hey, Katie, your Uncle Evan is here.

Welcome home.

Thanks.

You didn't have to get all dressed up for me.

Okay, so here's the deal.

Um, Evan was just gonna take Katie to the daddy-daughter dance because I

didn't know that you were gonna be home.

You know, Katie, maybe you want your daddy to take you to the dance.

But Mommy says if you tell someone you're gonna do something, you do it.

Oh, I did say that.

No, Katie's right.

That's the right thing to do.

You have a good time with your Uncle Evan tonight, okay? But now that I'm

back, I'm gonna be your date next time, okay?

Mommy says Uncle Evan dances better than me. Oh, okay.

Kids, why don't you go get on your dress and get ready.

I'll go help her. Hey, Dad, let's play some catch.

Yeah, let's do it, buddy.

Thank you for taking her. It really means a lot.

Do you really think a man lives up there?

I don't know.

You know what I remember?

I remember reading Goodnight Moon to you and your little sister and you guys

giggling about cows jumping over the moon.

Mom, that book's for babies.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

But you know what? You will always be my baby.

I still don't think cows jump over the moon.

Yeah, well, you're probably right.

Did I just hear you two say that a cow can't jump over the moon?

Yeah. You ever see a shooting star?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, I hear a shooting star is a big Bessie making her way

through space.

I'm serious.

Okay, why don't you go get ready for bed, kiss your daddy, and I'll be in in

a minute.

You're still wearing it.

We're still married.

I know.

Kids are so happy that you're here.

This is complicated.

I know.

Look, I want to earn my way back into the house.

Where are you going to stay?

I don't know. I'll figure it out.

You want to sit with me for a while?

Yeah. We can do that.

better but I've heard that before

it's what happens when you don't show

it's what happens when you don't call it's what happens

when you don't know

You staying here is temporary, right?

Yeah, it is.

And so is you being a father to my kids.

We're blood, so I'm helping you out. But just so we're clear, we're not friends.

I will never respect you again.

Yeah, that's rich coming from the man who tried to steal his brother's wife.

I'm gonna turn orange. Yes, you are gonna turn orange, and you're gonna like

it. They're good for your eyes.

So are cookies. Nope. Go and get your backpacks. We're gonna be late.

Daddy! Dad!

Okay, kids, go, go, go. Straight to the car. Come on.

Sorry, we're just running behind.

I can take them to school. No, that's okay. We have a routine, and I need to

talk to one of Travis' teachers when we have this song that we listen to right

as we get out of the car.

Do you let Evan take them?

Please don't go there.

Okay? I have enough on my plate with mom in rehab and... What?

Lynette's in rehab?

You missed a lot, pal.

Look, we'll figure out how to do this, okay?

And what is this?

I made us an appointment for counseling, so we'll talk about this there.

Okay?

So, what's up with Riley? She hasn't been herself lately.

I don't know. Might have something to do with her hubby getting out of the clank.

The clank?

Really? Dude, she's a badass.

Ladies?

One of y'all is gonna have to take my client.

Why, you got a case of sniffles again?

Uh, who is it?

Quickdraw McGraw. Oh, yeah, I'll take him.

Oh, well, it's not like Selina gave me a chance to answer, but I already have a

client. You can't even handle three jabs you're out.

Girl, your indecent proposal messed you up good.

Hey.

Hey.

So... I got a client who might think that there's something more going on

between us.

Is there?

Definitely not.

Is it Lisa you want me to talk to her? No, she's harmless.

I just... I don't know how to handle it.

You can start by giving that watch back.

Look, I see things, Derek. I see a lot of things.

And I know that it is hard to tell the difference between a happy ending and a

happily ever after.

But you need to make sure she knows that what we do around here, it is...

Only a fantasy. None of it's real. And if you need me to walk in there and tell

her, I will. I got it. Thanks.

Okay. Well, if she still doesn't get it, she has to go.

No wild cards on the list.

Love that guy.

This is very romantic.

Barbecues never look sexier.

Good, good.

You got a little sauce on your face.

Oh, thanks.

So, Evan Parks, you bring all your ladies here?

Oh, well, if by ladies you mean my buddies from the rodeo, then yeah.

Come on.

You're handsome, you're smart, you're funny. You have amazing taste and ribs

served from a truck.

Thank you.

Why are you single?

Here we go.

Yep, here we go.

Uh, I just haven't had time.

My brother, he deserted his family, so I was looking after him.

Feeling the man in the house role?

Yeah, yeah, I guess. I mean, they've been in my life for a long time.

I just wanted to make sure my sister-in-law felt like she had some

support.

It's just tough seeing my brother treated the way he does. You know, she

deserves so much better.

Someone like you?

You really fell for her, huh?

I came close.

But I moved on. Wow.

I knew you were hiding some dark secrets. Oh, yeah? How'd you know?

Because you should have been all over me.

I'm looking for someone a little more self-confident. I think you might be

wasting my time. Oh, yeah?

How's that?

I'm not sure why you're over there talking when you could be over here

kissing.

Oh, you want to kiss me?

Maybe.

I might be waiting for someone a little more self-confident.

I told you this place was good.

I'm still deciding.

I'm glad you're both here.

Kyle just got out of jail.

How's that been going since he's back home?

He hasn't really been staying at home.

I left my wife.

And I left my kids.

And I know that... I know that this is gonna take some time.

Why'd you leave?

I had a drug problem.

Are you still using?

No, I've been clean six months.

That's good.

Did you ever think the drugs or your leaving were an escape for something?

Yeah. Any idea what?

The truth.

You know, I was playing ball in college. There were a lot of expectations for me

to go pro.

And then I blew out my knee, and all that went away.

I started taking pills.

To numb the pain.

And then over time, I just started taking them to numb everything.

I'd look at my wife and I would think that... I would think that she should be

looking at something better.

And I left.

I was selfish.

But now you're back.

And what do you want?

A second chance.

I want to move back into my house.

Be with my wife and my two children.

I slept with someone.

Are you gonna say anything?

It wasn't Evan.

So what about you?

What about me?

Well, you're pretty, you're funny, you're smart, and that self-confident

thing is a little bit of a turn-on.

Why are you single?

Why am I single? Yeah.

I guess I've been too busy trying to climb out from under a heavy past.

What, from your uncle?

He started dealing drugs to help my mom raise us.

And he ran with the wrong guys.

And one day he had me and my brothers out playing soccer and a

car drove by.

And the car slowed down and I heard pop, pop, pop.

I watched him die in front of me.

And I knew right then and there that I wanted to be a cop and that I wanted to

get far away from that place.

Sorry you asked.

Not at all.

Georgia Cummings.

I'd like a whiskey.

Neat.

I see you know my name, but we haven't been introduced.

Greg Carlisle.

I know who you are, and there's a reason we haven't met.

So I suggest you get your butt off that bar stool. Go get your drink somewhere

else. We're closed.

That is just terrible manners for a barkeep.

It's probably a good thing that you sell in the parlor.

I'd like to make an offer.

I already got a buyer.

I'd like to raise the offer $200,000 for what that little dove is offering you.

I have all the low-end clientele in Texas. Now I'm after all the high-end.

I told you.

I already got a buyer.

Oh, that just seems like a really bad business decision to me.

I bet your man wouldn't mind his wifey having an extra 200 grand.

Oh, I get it.

You are keeping this dirty little secret all to yourself.

Well, didn't anyone ever tell you you can't bury past sins?

I'm not afraid to bury more than that.

You come back here again, you're gonna find that out.

I hope you don't regret it.

I just can't seem to get enough of those strong hands of yours.

Lisa, we need to talk.

Something tells me you're not about to invite me on a romantic weekend to South

Padre Island.

I'm sorry, but you pay me for an hour to make you feel good.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I know I got carried away.

The divorce is just making me so sad.

I was only looking for a distraction.

I know.

Don't cry, please.

I wasn't trying to be harsh.

I mean, if we'd met under different circumstances, I'm sure we'd be great.

You're just saying that.

No.

Will you accept the watch?

My ex bought one for his secretary that he was sleeping with.

I know it's revenge-y and childish, but... Thanks.

Do you mind if we finish?

No, of course not.

So...

If we had met under different circumstances, where would we be and

what would you be wearing?

Hey.

Thought we could make these together.

I'd like that.

You tell Kyle.

Parts. And?

He doesn't even know everything, because he can't know everything.

Well, maybe he shouldn't have left.

Sorry.

I'm being protective.

No, it's fine.

We all know he shouldn't have left, but now he's back, and he's going to try to

convince me that our family is worth fighting for.

What will you do?

I don't know.

I mean, I've got two babies, my bills are piling up, and the way I see it, I

am the best our family's got.

Just promise me no more secrets.

Because we're in this till the bitter end, you and me.

Promise.

Oh, Lacey, did you know that the traditional seventh wedding anniversary

gift is... copper?

No, it is not. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just to make things better, it's copper.

Well, Kyle sure got him some copper, didn't he?

Oh, he got a truckload.

Come on. Let's go make some pickles.

Okay.

Mommy?

Yeah? When's Meemaw coming home?

Oh, um, soon, baby.

Real soon.

Why isn't Daddy staying with us?

Uh, because your daddy and I need a little bit of time.

Okay? But he's gonna come and take you both to school tomorrow morning.

Right?

Hey, you know what? It's going to be okay.

Everything is going to be okay. Your Meemaw's going to be okay. Your daddy's

going to be okay. And, well, me, you're stuck with me because I'm not going

anywhere.

Why should I feel discouraged?

Why?

Should the shadows come?

Why should my heart feel

lonely when all is

heaven and home?

Hey. Hey.

Are you gonna talk to me about this?

Not right now.

Hey.

You wanna sit down with me for a while?

Yeah.
