Previously on The Client List. Come on, let's give Daddy his presents.

I'll bring my gifts next time I come over. I didn't have time to shop.

What, you too busy? 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 gone a while. It might be time to let the house go.

If Daddy's gone, I can't take their house away too. Riley Parks, we spoke on

the phone about the job. Oh!

When would you like to start?

Hi, Hank.

I don't want to be rude, but... Hank!

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 nothing I need to tell you.

Raleigh? Sorry about this.

Me too.

Kyle Parks, you're under arrest.

Hands behind your back.

Let's go. Hands behind your back.

Kyle.

Kyle!

Kyle! What the hell is going on?

Kyle, what did you do?

Won't 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 him 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.

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

The state of Texas does not allow me to divulge any information until he is

booked and processed.

Nice to know some of them come back.

Hey,

Mama,

it's me.

Sweetie, what's wrong? Is everything all right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, 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. Well, 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.

Raj.

Hey there, sleeping beauty.

Come bearing donuts.

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. When they called Lacey, Lacey told Dale.

Dale called me.

Please tell me this is all some kind of misunderstanding.

That's what I'm hoping.

Got your jelly filled?

Cream on sugar?

Oh, and if you're gonna fall asleep on a police department bench, you should take

better care of your purse.

Your diary's gonna fall out.

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?

Yes, me.

Howdy. I'm Hal Burkett, your husband's public defender.

I've got his file right here.

Parks, Kevin... Kyle.

Oh. All right. Here we go.

Thank you.

Felony theft.

Your hubby... Can we talk in front of this guy?

Yeah, he's his brother.

All right. You're, 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.

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 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 meemaw

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 going to help me pre-hearse for the science fair.

I can help you pre-hearse.

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.

What did you do?

The truth or a 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.

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.

Then you're different because... I guess I'm not.

I know I did a bad thing.

All right, but that money was 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.

You gave up on us.

I know, Mama.

I will be there. Let's 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. I don't want to be left behind.

Distance was a friend of mine.

Catching breath in a web of lies.

I've spent most of my time catching my breath,

letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show.

Now that you know.

No! Are you kidding me?

What's happened to yours?

Raleigh, are you okay?

Mom!

Mommy! Hey!

Hi! Mommy! I don't suppose this is the best time to tell me what's what.

No, it's 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 Meemaw's car.

So how bad is it on a scale from one to ten?

I smashed my own car window.

Call him at 11.

Are you going back to see him?

No. I'm going to 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.

Not as much as that does.

Parks dominated the gridiron. 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. Filthy copper

wire from Houston's van minor construction.

Kyle Parks, a Beaumont native, has fallen far. High soaring days as UT'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 come for a surprise party, you're 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.

Raleigh, 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 going

to stand around watching her make a mistake.

Well, that went well.

So, you're going to stay mad at me, too?

Holly, 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 donuts. Jelly filled.

Raspberry 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.

Hello? 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, not you?

Evan.

I meant what I said to you about us.

It's just... I wish we could be

selfish.

Me too.

Okay, at least you have to 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?

Yeah, I promise.

I promise.

Come on.

Walk a girl in her car?

Hey, guys, I'm trying to figure this out, okay?

Hot and dry. Now we got clients coming out of rags. I can't believe it. Jolene

and Kendra just quit. And Deanne hurt her knee at Zumba.

Bradley, we safe?

Yes. Yes, of course, we are safe.

Fortunately, we have to stick together.

What about the police, huh? They come back here? No, they had nothing to do

with the rub and everything to do... You're no good husband.

Georgia, you're back.

And not a moment too soon.

Riley and I need to have a meeting of the mind, Selena.

Tell the clients that they'll be comfortable free massage for their

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

Because that's really going to help our schedule.

Still a smart ass, I see.

Yeah, a pain in one, too.

Some things never change.

Holly, are you all right?

I saw the news about Kyle.

Oh, 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?

Oh, 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.

That's great.

Oh, look at that smile.

I'm happy for you. Oh, me too, honey, me too.

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 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 going to do?

The truth.

But until I figure it out, I want you to keep doing what you're doing.

So, here's the plan. We're going to split Kendra's clients. You'll take

Deanne's, and I'll do Jolene's, because we both know that she don't want to do a

legit massage.

All right. You're going to 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

judgy 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 now, uh...

Judgy 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. 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 the cheerleader.

Sergio's at 11.45. Oh, look at you.

You got a pornographic memory.

So who's first up out 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, the shoe fits.

Oh, 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 do you have in mind?

Really?

Kendra did that?

That's a first.

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

Like this?

Exactly like that.

Mrs.

Parks?

Thanks for meeting me here. I'm doing court in ten 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.

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?

That's how retainers work.

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

Cash.

Only my criminal clients.

Hey, Cashin, 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

gotta go.

But Daddy's not here yet.

Why hasn't he come home?

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'm...

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 going to take care of them.

Sure, baby.

Thanks, Mommy.

Here you go.

Raleigh Parks?

Detective Monroe. We need word.

Detective Dunbar, Houston PD.

You know, Nathan says to say hi.

Raleigh. I'm really sorry to bother Travis at school.

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

Oh, you probably don't recognize me without my helmet on.

I played at UT with Kyle.

Put the other side of the ball.

Manny Monroe.

Manny the man.

A few years and a whole lot of enchilada plates later.

Yeah, a whole lot. Yeah, and 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 a sale from the stolen copper wire?

Is this one of those trick questions?

No.

No one has given me any money. Really?

Because 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.

I'll try to give you all something good to look at.

Hey, Travis, what's wrong?

Samantha's mom told me you couldn't go to the pizza party.

Oh, she did, did she?

I'll be right back.

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, and 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!

Yay! Yeah, pizza party!

Ladies.

Thanks for squeezing me in. Of course, it was nice to see you last night.

It was also nice to see you tail 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 hardworking people.

After we pull this line of credit, we'll figure it out.

I really appreciate it.

Good single moms gotta stick together.

Let me guess.

Parks family grapevine?

Better than GPS tracking.

So did you forget something last night?

Heaven 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.

So, after the paper mache 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.

Do you remember senior year when we found ourselves out here all alone?

And when you dropped your purse on the stand 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 going to understand

it. It's a girl thing.

It did get us along 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 cell phone, 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.

Oh, 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 gotta go.

Yeah,

we're good.

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. Right. Right? You have to

give up your accomplice. Yeah, and I told you that I can.

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. Probably don't walk out like that.

Like you walked out on me.

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

Hey, pull up.

So Mr. Louboutin brought in a friend. He must have blown his socks off yesterday.

Oh, Lord, please don't give that man any new ideas.

Is he waiting on me?

Yeah, in reception.

You know, honey, 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.

Bye.

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, start 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. the owner of the rub get the 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 because 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 going to 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. Kyle Parks, your visitor's here.

What the hell was he 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 and bring another patrol. I came

home for my family.

Yeah, they were doing just fine without you.

You should just stay calm 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 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 for your own, did you?

Seriously? Well, at least Kyle left you something.

My window's being fixed. I figured he wasn't going to need his truck for a

while. Well, it suits you.

Thanks for coming to give him.

I had no idea what I was supposed to tell the kids about their daddy and

uncle 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.

Better protect him 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 hotheads.

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.

Smutty, 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

going to lose my wife because of them.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

It's 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 a lot of 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?

Raleigh, 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.

It's been hard on all of us. I know it's not fair to ask you to wait.

But it's what we gotta do.

Until things with Kyle get... Sort it 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.

I was thinking of making Uncle Evan's famous burgers and shakes.

Great!

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.

As 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?

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.
