Making the Case: Creating the Lincoln Lawyer Page #2

---

a hotel, and all that kind of stuff.

But you don't need to know that.

All you need to know is that

we had a deal.

It's time to refill the tank.

What? Another 5 grand?

Ten. He wants to fly business.

He wants first class hotel.

And we want Harold back on the farm.

He's our best farmer,

if you know what I mean?

I don't.

And I don't want to.

Now, look.

Either pay me.

Or go with the public defender.

He won't know much about

air space, but...

aren't you gonna count it?

I just did.

Keep that rubber on the road, Eddie.

Let's roll, Earl.

So, this expert flying

in from New York,

you want me to pick him

up at the airport?

There's nobody coming in.

The best camera experts in the world

are right here in Hollywood.

Nice, you know what?

You would've done alright

on the streets.

Sh*t... what do you think I am,

Earl?

Louis Roulet?

Yes.

I'm Michael Haller.

Mr. Haller. I called you because

I need someone.

This whole thing is a set-up.

I made a mistake with that woman

and she was setting me up...

Keep your voice down, hear me?

Don't say anything about the case,

until I get you out on bail.

I understand your family lawyer's

in court?

Yes, his name's Cecil Dobbs.

-He's here somewhere.

-I'll find him.

Tell me about yourself.

-How old are you?

-32.

Ties to the community?

Did you grow up here?

Yeah, Beverly Hills. Went to USC.

I worked for my mother's business.

What about your father?

He died when I was 2.

How much did you make last year, Louis?

My taxes said $600,000.

I want a lawyer too.

My name's Corliss two S's.

-You got a card on you?

-Listen, buddy, they have

a lawyer for you out there.

Right now, I need you to back away

and give us a little space.

Can you do that, pal?

I'm backing, boss.

-Here we go.

-Okay.

There we go.

There we go.

Now, listen, they've uh...

put some heavy charges on you, Louis.

The D.A's probably gonna ask

for no bail.

-No bail?

-I said they're gonna ask for it.

When was the last time you

were arrested?

-Never.

-So, if I check your, your record....

You'd find parking tickets.

Are you gonna get me out of here?

I'm gonna try, Louis.

Are you the prosecutor who used

to have the Roulet's case?

Haller.

Son of a b*tch.

Rules are rules.

I wanted this one.

Okay, okay, I'll go quletly.

But after today's hearing,

if you don't object...

Depends.

You going for no bail?

That won't change with the prosecutor.

Not after what your guy did.

If he didn't?

Sure 'if'.

Bailey picked him in her home

with blood all over him.

I love it when you get sarcastic.

Can I at least see the arrest report?

Fine! You get it from whomever

takes over.

No favours on this one.
