Walking out of the detention room, Rose saw a strange man. When the man saw him, he greeted him, nodded and said, "Come with me."

Rose was a little confused. Although he had just signed some documents, he didn't know who bailed him out.

Leaving the police station, he raised his tattooed hand to block the harsh sunlight, followed behind the man, and asked, "Who are you?"

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

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

Moreover, all his bank accounts have been temporarily frozen by the police, and only he knows about several hidden accounts. The charges of drug possession and drug trafficking will definitely require a large amount of bail. Who will pay this money for him?

Those collaborators? Would they have such kindness?

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

Rose tilted his head for a glance, then got into the car, Robert closed the door and walked to his car.

Seeing that the person sitting in the car was Murphy, Robert didn't feel any surprise, and all doubts disappeared in an instant. He looked at Murphy, and then at the blond girl sitting beside him.

"Kerry," Murphy gestured to a Cadillac not far away through the car window, "help me to thank Lawyer Robert, please?"

Gently nodding his head, Carey Mulligan opened the car door and jumped down, then turned around and closed the car door again.

Although she is young and has a rebellious personality, she has received a good enough education. She can't like people like Ross, and she is very opposed to Murphy helping him.

As she grows older and more knowledgeable, Carey Mulligan's innocent appearance has not faded, but she has become more mature in her consideration of issues. She has never said anything against Murphy's help, but she can analyze that this kind of thing will only gradually pull her away. Big difference between Murphy and Ross.

Although he has never interfered with Murphy's private life and interpersonal relationships, just like most girls, Carey Mulligan does not want to see her boyfriend has a friend who is too complicated and unbearable like Ross.

Come to Cadillac,

Carey Mulligan opened the rear door and got in the car. In addition to Robert in the driver's seat, she and Murphy's manager Bill Rossis were sitting in the co-pilot.

"Bill, are there any reporters watching Murphy?" She asked first after getting into the car.

"The situation is much better than we expected." Bill Rosies breathed a sigh of relief with a tired face on his face, "Although there is a movie that sells well, Murphy is still a very inconspicuous director. High-profile, lack of attractive news, and most of the media's attention is still on the 911 chain report, the tabloids and entertainment media pay more attention to the charity activities of superstars."

To put it bluntly, he still slightly overestimated the appeal of the directorship of "Chain Saw" to media reporters.

Carey Mulligan is still a little worried, "Will someone turn over old accounts in the future? It is said that Murphy does not have a good relationship with the Los Angeles police."

"It's okay." Bill Ross shook his head, "The effect of fried rice is very small."

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

Carey Mulligan relaxed, blinked mischievously, and pretended not to understand.

Robert laughed and turned around.

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

In the other car, the atmosphere seemed a bit stagnant. Rose looked at Murphy but didn't say a word, as if he didn't quite adapt to the current position between the two.

In the past, he was always helping Murphy, fighting in prison, and funding after he was released from prison...

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

It's like a dominant person who is suddenly robbed of the dominant position, the feeling is indescribable and unknown.

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

"We don't need to talk about this between us." Murphy has been thinking about the wording. There are some things he doesn't want to say, but he has to say, "Ross, have you considered changing your industry?"

Although drugs are rampant across the United States, this is really a way of no return.

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

"Is it enough to be extra careful?"

Hearing this, Murphy finally couldn't help but pop out the words that had been held in his heart for a long time, "I know, in your profession, there must be a certain tacit understanding with the police. I don't really want to do anything to you, what if I change to another person?"

In the past, Murphy couldn't even guarantee his own life, so he couldn't care less about other things. "I also grew up in a slum, and I have seen the end of many people in this industry!"

He patted the armrest of the seat hard, and said loudly, "Ross, do you want me to collect your body? Or you disappeared inexplicably, and you couldn't even find the body in the end!"

This is a heavy word that Murphy never said when he came to California, even in the most difficult time in prison.

"There are some things you don't understand and won't understand."

Not far away, a black car came and stopped. The black bald head that got out of the car was extremely bright. Rose seemed not used to Murphy's way of speaking. He opened the door and said, "We are already people in two different worlds. .”

He got out of the car and was about to close the door when he turned around and said, "Bail money?"

Murphy didn't speak, but just shook his head. Since the three hundred thousand dollars bail was paid, he never thought about getting it back.

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

Seeing Rose get into the car, the car started, and the black car gradually disappeared, Murphy slowly closed his eyes. There are some things and people that he can't 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 co-pilot.

After fastening the seat belt, Carey Mulligan looked at Murphy curiously, but Murphy ignored her, picked up his mobile phone and called Bill Rossis, "I will drive the car away first, and I will send it to the company for you another day." inside."

After hanging up the phone and starting the car, Murphy left the Los Angeles County Police Department.

Carey Mulligan turned his head, and he could see that Murphy was not in a good mood, and seemed a little depressed.

"What happened?" she asked tentatively.

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

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

It can be seen that the conversation between Murphy and Rose should not be very pleasant, scratching his face, Carey Mulligan didn't know how to comfort Murphy, so he had to imitate the words he comforted himself and said, "Honey, everything It'll all be fine."

If everything would be fine, the world would not be so complicated, and one person would not experience so many difficulties, but this is obviously impossible.

However, Murphy still turned his head and gave Carey Mulligan a bright smile, as if he had forgotten the troubles just now.

He also temporarily put aside the matter of Rose. It is really difficult to change a person.

The two had been together for a while, and Carey Mulligan could see that Murphy's mood hadn't improved, so he stopped mentioning this matter and changed the subject on his own initiative.

"When I came out this morning," she said, "Rosa mentioned to me that the flight to Australia was booked."

Murphy patted his forehead lightly, "I seem to have forgotten to tell her to buy some."

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

Going to David Robbie's farm for vacation, by the way, to get rid of the hunting addiction, of course, don't forget to buy a plane ticket for the other party.

Carey Mulligan added, "Are we buying shotguns now? Or after we go to Australia?"

"Honey, you're not yet eighteen." Murphy shook his head, reminding her, "Do you think you can still bring a shotgun on a plane now?"

"That's right." Carey Mulligan grabbed his short blond hair annoyed, "Those terrorists made it so troublesome for us to fly!"

With Carey Mulligan constantly provoking the topic, Murphy's mood gradually improved, and as long as Ross paid attention to himself, there should be no more trouble in a short time, so he put this matter aside and began to prepare Your first vacation.

Although Australia is far away in the Western Pacific region, it belongs to Western countries according to the traditional division. The two places are far away, but the connection is quite close. Murphy doesn't have to worry about any emergencies. The studio or Bill Rossis I can't contact myself.

In particular, Bill Rossis, who participated in the whole process of "Saw" was a great success, and he himself received a lot of money. Pass the situation to Murphy for a while.

There are also overseas distribution rights. Stanton Studios sold all the overseas distribution rights and peripheral sales rights of the film "Chain Saw" to Fox Searchlight for US$12 million, but this does not involve the copyright of the series.

The money will not be paid immediately. Fox Searchlight has limited liquidity and will make an upfront payment of $3 million at the end of this year, and the rest will be paid in installments.

Before Murphy boarded the plane, Fox Searchlight reached a videotape and TV copyright agreement with Blockbuster and HBO respectively. The former's 10-year videotape and DVD basic licensing fee is 6.5 million US dollars, and the latter's two-year first-round TV copyright fee Also $3.5 million.

Just like the box office distribution, TV stations and video tape sellers also pay in installments, and they will not be credited immediately.

Fortunately, after the first batch of 2 million U.S. dollars from "Chain Saw" arrived, even with the expensive expenses, Murphy is not short of money for the time being, and has enough funds for him and Carey Mulligan to play in Australia for a while. Fan.

The September 11 incident completely changed the civil aviation industry. After going through extremely strict security checks, the three of Murphy boarded the plane smoothly and embarked on a journey to Australia. (To be continued.)
