When he walked out of the detention room, Ross saw a strange man. After seeing him, he came up and nodded and said, "Follow me."

Ross was a little confused. Although he had just signed some documents, he couldn't figure out who was bailing him.

Leaving the police station, he raised his tattooed hand to block the dazzling sunlight, followed the man and asked, "Are you?"

"A lawyer." The man led him to the parking lot without looking back, "You can call me Robert."

"Robert?" Ross was sure he didn't know any lawyer named Robert.

Moreover, all his bank accounts were temporarily frozen by the police. Only he knew about several secret accounts. The allegations of drug hiding and drug trafficking must require a large amount of bail. Who would pay the money for him?

Those collaborators? They would have such kindness?

When he arrived at a black business car, Robert opened the door and turned to Rose and said, "He's on it."

Ross tilted his head and took a look, then got into the car, Robert closed the door and walked towards his car.

Seeing that the person sitting in the car was Murphy, Robert felt no surprise, and all doubts disappeared instantly. He looked at Murphy and then at the blonde girl sitting next to him.

"Carry," Murphy signaled a Cadillac not far away through the window, "Can you help me thank Lawyer Robert?"

Nodding his head gently, Carrie Mulligan opened the car door and jumped down, turned around and closed the car door to death.

Although she is young and has a rebellious personality, she has received a good education enough. She can't like anyone like Rose, and she is also very opposed to Murphy's help.

As she grew older and had more knowledge, Carey Mulligan's naive appearance did not fade away, but she became more mature in thinking about the problem. She had never said anything against Murphy's help, but she could analyze that this kind of thing would only gradually increase the difference between Murphy and Ross.

Although she has never interfered in Murphy's private life and interpersonal relationships, just like most girls, Carey Mulligan doesn't want to see her boyfriend having a friend who is too complicated and unbearable as Ross.

When he arrived at Cadillac, Carey Mulligan opened the rear door and got into the car. In addition to Robert in the driver's seat, she and Murphy's agent Bill Roses were also sitting in the passenger seat.

"Bill, is there any reporter staring at Murphy?" she asked first after getting in the car.

"The situation is much better than we thought." Bill Roses's face was a little tired, but he sighed relieved. "Although there was a big movie, Murphy was still an inconspicuous director. He was not high-profile and lacked attractive news. Moreover, most media attention was still focused on the 911 chain reports. The tabloids and entertainment media paid more attention to the charity activities of superstars."

To put it bluntly, he had previously overestimated the attractiveness of the directorship of "Saw" to media reporters.

Carey Mulligan was still a little worried, "Will someone bring up old accounts in the future? It is said that Murphy has a bad relationship with the Los Angeles police."

"It's okay." Bill Roses shook his head, "The effect of stir-frying cold rice is very small."

The older Robert turned around and said, "Little guy, you look down on me too much."

Carey Mulligan relaxed, blinked mischievously, pretending to be unable to understand.

Robert laughed and turned around.

In fact, Carey Mulligan knew that since Murphy had found a lawyer, he must have used legal means.

In the other car, the atmosphere seemed a little stagnant. Ross looked at Murphy but said nothing, and seemed to be unable to adapt to the current position between the two.

In the past, he always helped Murphy, fight in prison, and funded after he was released from prison...

Now, the positions of the two people have changed by 180 degrees, which makes him feel very strange.

Just like a dominant person, suddenly the dominance is stolen by someone, and the feeling is indescribable.

He withdrew his gaze, his eyes fell on the tattoo on the back of his hand, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Thank you."

"There is no need to say this between us." Murphy has been thinking about the words, and there are some things he doesn't want to say, but he has to say, "Ross, have you considered changing the industry?"

Although drugs are rampant across the United States, this is really a way out.

Ross frowned slightly, "Murphy, thank you for helping me this time, I will be more careful in the future."

“Is it enough to be more careful?”

Hearing this, Murphy held it in his heart for a long time, finally couldn't help but jump out, "I know that in your career, I must have a certain understanding with the police. This time, the new prosecutor wants to establish his prestige. He doesn't really want to do anything to you. What if another person is changed?"

In the past, Murphy had no guarantee of his own life and could not care about anything else. "I grew up in a slum and saw the final outcome of many people in this industry!"

He patted the armrest of the seat hard and said loudly, "Ross, are you going to let me collect the body for you? Or you disappeared for no reason, and in the end you couldn't even find the body!"

This is a harsh thing Murphy never said even when he came to California, even when he was in prison.

"You don't understand some things, and you won't understand them."

A black sedan drove over and stopped not far away. The black bald head got off was extremely bright. Ross seemed not used to Murphy's way of speaking. He pushed open the car door and said, "We are already people in two different worlds."

He got out of the car and was about to close the door, but turned around and said, "Balan?"

Murphy didn't say anything, but just shook his head. Since the bail of 300,000 was paid, he never thought of taking it back.

Ross closed the car door and walked towards the bald black man.

Seeing Rose get in the car, the car starts, and the black sedan gradually disappears, Murphy slowly closes his eyes, and some things are not something he can persuade after all.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, Murphy got into the driver's seat, and Carey Mulligan on the other side trotted back and sat in the passenger seat.

After tied up the seat belt, Carey Mulligan looked at Murphy curiously, but Murphy ignored her and picked up her phone to dial Bill Rosess, "I'll drive the car first, and I'll send it to the company another day."

Hang up the phone, start the car, and Murphy leaves the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Carey Mulligan turned his head and could see that Murphy was in a bad mood, and seemed to be a little depressed.

"What happened?" she asked tentatively.

"It's okay." Murphy turned and smiled at her, "It's just some little trouble."

Carey Mulligan knows less about this kind of thing, the better. In his heart, the other party is still the innocent and cute girl.

It was obvious that the conversation between Murphy and Ross should not be very pleasant. After scratching his face, Carey Mulligan didn't know how to comfort Murphy, so he had to follow his words when he comforted himself, "Dear, everything will be fine."

If everything really would be fine, the world would not be so complicated, and a person would not go through so many difficulties, but this is obviously impossible.

However, Murphy turned around and gave Carrey Mulligan a bright smile, as if he had forgotten his troubles just now.

Ross' affairs were also temporarily put aside by him, and it was really difficult to change someone.

The two have been together for a while, and Carey Mulligan could see that Murphy's mood was not getting better, so he simply stopped talking about this and took the initiative to change the topic.

"When I came out this morning," she said, "Rosa told me that the ticket to Australia has been booked."

Murphy gently patted her forehead, "I seem to have forgotten to tell her how many copies to buy."

"I ordered three tickets," Carrey Mulligan said deliberately, "I know you are busy, so I specifically advised Rosa to three business class tickets to Brisbane."

I have to go on a vacation to David Robbie's farm and have a hunting addiction. Of course, I must not forget to buy a plane ticket for the other party.

Carey Mulligan said again, "Are we buying a shotgun now? Or after we went to Australia?"

"Dear, you're less than eighteen." Murphy shook his head and reminded her, "Do you think you can still bring a shotgun on the plane now?"

"That's right." Carrie Mulligan grabbed his short blonde hair in annoyance. "Those terrorists make it so troublesome for us to fly!"

With Carrey Mulligan constantly stirring up topics, Murphy's mood gradually improved. As long as Ross pays attention, he will not have any trouble in a short period of time, so he puts this aside and starts preparing for his first vacation trip.

Although Australia is far away in the Western Pacific region, it belongs to Western countries in traditional divisions. The two places are far apart and the connection is quite close. Murphy doesn't have to worry about any emergencies, and the studio or Bill Roses will not be able to contact him.

Especially Bill Rossis, who participated in "Saw" throughout the whole process, was a great success and received considerable rewards. He was very motivated. He represented Murphy in the negotiations between Fox Searchlight and companies such as PepsiCo and H-Po, and would immediately pass the situation to Murphy.

There is also the overseas distribution rights. Stanton Studio sold all overseas distribution rights and peripheral sales rights of the film "Saw" to Fox Searchlights for $12 million, but this does not involve the copyright of the series.

The money will not be paid immediately, and Fox Searchlight's working capital is limited, and will pay $3 million first by the end of this year and the rest will be paid in installments.

Before Murphy got on the plane, Fox Searchlight reached a videotape and TV copyright agreement with PepsiCo and Hwa respectively. The former had a 10-year videotape and DVD basic license fee of $6.5 million, and the latter had a two-year first-round TV copyright fee of $3.5 million.

Just like box office sharing, TV stations and video tape sellers also use installments and will not be immediately received.

Fortunately, after the first $2 million share of "Saw" was paid, even if there were a lot of money, Murphy was not short of money for the time being, and there was enough funds for him and Carrey Mulligan to have a trip in Australia.
