Making the Case: Creating the Lincoln Lawyer Page #3

---

How's Hayley today?

She's good.

Good.

I'll pick her up the usual time

on saturday.

Because of the seriousness of the

offence...

the financial resources of

the accused...

the state requests no bail.

Your honour, there's no way

the state can

claim that my client is a flight risk.

-He's not.

-With resources like this man has,

flight is always a risk.

-Are there any priors?

-No, your honour.

Then, I'm gonna reduce

the risk of flight

by ordering him to wear

a tracer anklet...

and I'm gonna set bail at $1 million.

-Judge, have you seen the photo?

-Ms. Mcpherson, bail is set.

Thank you, judge.

Mick, feel compel to thank me

and speak good of me

'cos this one's gonna be the

money, I'm telling you.

We'll see, we'll see.

Alright! This is the lawyer

right there, Cecil Dobbs.

Hey, Mick, don't forget our deal.

Possibilty but...

Oh... he's here now.

I'll talk to you later.

-Cecil Dobbs.

-Mr. Haller.

Depressing to see the boy caught

up in that cattle call.

The boy?

I represented the family for a long time.

Listen, my advice is, let Val fix you

up the bond.

And you, take the boy home.

Well, we were thinking of putting

up property.

There's the Windsors beach house.

Mother's name is Windsor?

Her second husband's name.

He's dead now.

Assessing the house could take days.

And trust me, you don't want the boy

in the clean cringing that long.

So, tap Val.

Take Louis to your office...

I'll meet you there at 4.

Here, let me give you

my business card.

Oh boy.

Oh... media?

Yeah, that'll be on us.

Mrs. Windsor's sensitive about

the press.

I guess there's not much we can

do about that.

We'll see.

Say, Bob!

Come here. Come here.

Saw you filming in there.

What's your name?

Name's Rob Gillan.

They call me 'Sticks'.

Sticks, you freelancing on this?

Yeah, your client's got profile,

figure I'll sell it to local news.

-How much?

-How much what?

How much they pay you for

what you shot in there?

Uh... that depends.

-7... 750?

-Ehh!

How about we take it off your hands...

for 8? No?

Too short?

Alright, let's make it a grand.

-Deal?

-That's yours.

-So, I can expense this, right?

-Of course.

Absolutely.

Thank you, Sticks.

Thank you.

You know, Mr. Haller...

you weren't my choice.

I bet I wasn't.

Firms like yours must have

some heavy hitters on call.

We do, but Louis insisted.

Frankly, I've never heard of you.

But uh... maybe I should have.

Did you say I was Louis' choice?

Yes, he read about a case you had.

I need a hundred grand upfront.

Working on $550 an hour...

another hundred if we go to trial.

More if we goes pass a week.

Appeals, we start over.

I take it that's not a problem?
