right on top of us.

All right, Konnie.

Thought you might be

a little hungry.

A lot of food left over

from last night.

And Philip wants to talk

when you get a chance.

What we got here?

Caviar House?

Yeah, you catered last night

for Dunson, Hess and Magruder,

and, um, one of the caterers

left a jacket,

and I wanted

to get it back to her.

Sure. Do you have a name?

No, I don't have a name.

Uh, she was a girl, about 5'7",

brunette and, um...

We have a lot of people.

You need Jerry.

He's back tomorrow.

Yeah, well,

I agree with you on this one

and I agree also that this case

should never get to trial.

I think we can achieve that.

I appreciate your call.

Thank you.

You didn't even get her name.

What?

I'm simply curious.

You just keep propositioning

people until somebody says yes?

Come on, Lois.

Or was this another

of your regular girls

who have trouble with

too many syllables?

How many syllables do you need?

Sign this for me.

By the end of the day.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you, Lois.

You're welcome.

Konnie,

I'll be back in one hour.

What about...

I'll call 'em later.

Lois. So sorry for the delay.

Have a nice day!

Hello!

Anybody home?

Hello?

Anybody home?

Hello? Anybody home?

Jesus!

Konnie, get Clyde

to meet me at the office.

I'll explain when he gets there.

OK, see you later.

Hey, Cassandra.

Where's Konnie?

She's in with Lois.

- Has Clyde Pell shown up?

- No, sir.

Cassandra, put your legs

away and answer the phone.

While you're here.

Hey, Konnie?

Where's Clyde Pell?

I told you to get him right now.

- I did.

- So where is he?

She's been waiting for you.

I had to see you.

I went to the house.

I saw what he did.

- Everything'll be all right.

- Can I get anything?

Get Lois. Clyde shows up,

bring him right in.

Son of a b*tch.

Hey.

I liked that cat.

I came home from work

this afternoon and found him.

I know, I know.

I'm scared.

No smokin' in here, right?

Mr Pell, Mr Magruder's waiting.

How're you, sweet cheeks?

You're lookin' fine.

Thank you. Don't play

with my phone. Go on in.

I won't,

if you don't play with my...

Hey, remember me?

Private dick?

Don't touch me.

Mr Magruder's waiting.

I called half an hour ago.

I know, my pager's on the fritz.

- Hey, Rick.

- Hey, Clyde.

Thanks for comin'

at short notice.

Clyde Pell, this is, er...

Doss. Mallory Doss.

You know each other?

- No.

- Not exactly.

What does that mean?

Well, maybe she don't

remember me.

I investigated her father.

Shoeless Joe, they call him.

- For what?

- I worked at the DA. Tax case.

Some fringe group applied

for religious exemption.

Joe was up sh*t creek

without a paddle.

Excuse me, ma'am.
