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

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

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

"A lawyer." The man led him to the parking lot without turning his head. "You can call me Robert."

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

Moreover, all his bank accounts have been temporarily frozen by the police. There are several secret accounts that only he knows. The allegations of drug possession and drug trafficking must require a large amount of bail. Who will pay this money for him?

Those collaborators? Will they have such kindness?

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

Rose tilted his head and glanced, 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. All the doubts disappeared instantly. He looked at Murphy and then at the blond girl sitting next to him.

"Kerry," Murphy gestured through the car window to a Cadillac not far away, "Help me, thank you lawyer Robert?"

With a light nod, Kerry Mulligan pulled the car door and jumped down, turned around and closed the car door again.

Although she is young and has a rebellious personality, she is well-educated. She doesn't like anything like Rose, and she is very opposed to Murphy helping him in her heart.

With the increase of age and knowledge, Kerry Mulligan’s appearance of innocence has not faded, but she has become more mature in considering issues. She has not said anything against Murphy’s help, but being able to analyze this kind of thing will only gradually increase The difference between Great Murphy and Rose.

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

Coming to Cadillac, Kerry Mulligan opened the rear door and got into the car. In addition to Robert in the driving seat, she and Murphy's agent Bill Rossis were also sitting in the co-pilot.

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

"The situation is much better than we thought." Bill Rossis was a little tired, but he was relieved. "Although there is a movie that is selling well, Murphy is still a not-so-remarkable director. High-profile, lack of attractive news, and most of the media's attention is still on the 9/11 chain reports. Tabloids and entertainment media pay more attention to related charity activities of superstars."

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

Kerry Mulligan is still a little worried, "Will someone turn the old account in the future? It is said that Murphy has a bad relationship with the Los Angeles police."

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

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

Kerry Mulligan relaxed, blinked mischievously, pretending to not understand.

Robert laughed and turned back.

In fact, Kerry Mulligan knew that since Murphy had found a lawyer, he must have used all legal methods.

In the other car, the atmosphere seemed a bit stagnant. Rose looked at Murphy, but didn't say a word, and seemed not quite comfortable with 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 actually changed one hundred and eighty degrees, which makes him feel very strange.

It's like a dominant person, who is suddenly robbed of the dominance. It's unclear what it feels like.

He retracted 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."

"We don't need to say 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, "Rose, have you considered switching to another industry?"

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

Rose 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's words that had been held in his heart for a long time finally couldn't help but jumped out, "I know, in your business, there must be a certain tacit understanding with the police. This time it is the new chief prosecutor who wants to establish prestige. I don’t really want to do anything to you. What if I change another person?"

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

He slapped the armrest of the seat hard and said loudly, "Rose, are you going to let me collect the body for you? Or you disappeared inexplicably, and you couldn't even find the body in the end!"

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

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

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

He got out of the car, just about to close the door, then turned around and said, "Bail bond?"

Murphy didn't speak, but shook his head. Since the $300,000 bail was paid out, he didn't expect to get it back.

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

Watching Ross get in the car, the car started, and the black car gradually disappeared. Murphy slowly closed his eyes. After all, he could not persuade some people for some things.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, Murphy got into the driving seat, and Kerry Mulligan on the other side trot back and sat in the co-pilot.

With the seat belt fastened, Kerry Mulligan looked at Murphy curiously, but Murphy ignored her, picked up the phone and dialed Bill Rossis’s number, “I’ll drive the car and I’ll send it to you at the company another day. in."

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

Kerry Mulligan turned his head and could see that Murphy was not in a good mood, as if he was still 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."

Carrie Mulligan knows as little as possible about this kind of thing. In his heart, the other party is still that innocent and lovely girl.

I could see that the conversation between Murphy and Rose should not be very pleasant, scratching his face, Kerry Mulligan didn’t know how to comfort Murphy, so he had to learn from him when he was comforting himself and said, "My dear, everything It will be all right."

If everything will really get better, the world will not be so complicated, and one person will not experience so many difficulties, but this is obviously impossible.

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

The Rose matter was temporarily put aside by him. It is really difficult to change a person.

The two have been together for a while, and Kerry Mulligan can see that Murphy's mood has not improved, so he simply stopped mentioning this matter and took the initiative to change the subject.

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

Murphy patted her forehead lightly, "I seem to forget to tell her to buy a few."

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

If you want to go to David Robbie’s farm for a holiday, and get addicted to hunting by the way, of course you can’t forget to buy a plane ticket for the other party.

Kerry Mulligan said again, "Should we buy shotguns now? Or after we go to Australia?"

"My dear, you are less than eighteen years old." Murphy shook her head and reminded her, "Do you think you can still take the shotgun on the plane now?"

"That's right." Kerry Mulligan grabbed his short blond hair annoyedly, "Those terrorists, let us fly so much trouble!"

With Kerry Mulligan constantly provoking topics next to him, Murphy's mood gradually improved, and as long as Rose pays attention to himself, there should be no more trouble in a short time, so he put this matter aside and began to prepare. My first vacation trip.

Although Australia is far in the Western Pacific region, it belongs to Western countries in the traditional division. The two places are far apart, but the connection is quite close. Murphy does not have to worry about any emergencies, the studio or Bill Rosisner Bian couldn't reach himself.

In particular, Bill Rossis, who participated in the entire "Chain Saw Cry", was a great success, and he also received a lot of money. It can be described as full of enthusiasm. On behalf of Murphy, he participated in Fox Searchlight negotiations with companies such as Blockbuster and HBO. 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 at a price of 12 million US dollars, but this does not involve the copyright of the series.

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

Before Murphy boarded the plane, Fox Searchlight reached a video tape and TV copyright agreement with Blockbuster and HBO, respectively. The first ten-year video tape and DVD license fee for the former was US$6.5 million, and the latter two-year first-round TV copyright fee. There are also 3.5 million dollars.

Just like the box office splitting accounts, TV stations and video tape sellers also use installment payments, and they will not be paid immediately.

Fortunately, after the first batch of 2 million US dollars in "Chain Saw" was received, Murphy is not short of money for the time being even with a lot of money, and there is enough money for him and Kerry Mulligan to play in Australia. Fan.

The 911 incident completely changed the civil aviation industry. After undergoing extremely stringent security checks, the three Murphys successfully boarded the plane and embarked on a journey to Australia.
