Chapter 144: Lure the snake out of its hole
The room suddenly became quiet, the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while, and everyone’s eyes fell on Van Wagelen’s face.
Robert Redford was almost furious and asked: "Where are the other videos?"
"No, really not!" Waglen firmly refused to admit it.
If he admits it at this time, he will inevitably take out the video and destroy it, and he may be abandoned. As long as he denies it, those people must keep him.
Rooney felt a headache and stopped the quarrel and said: "You two, the key now is to solve the problem."
She pointed to the clock on the wall: "There are only seven weeks until "Ace News" is broadcast. It’s been more than an hour. If we don’t take action, the consequences will be very serious.”
Redford could only hold back and deal with the immediate matters first.
Rooney said directly: "The Fox TV network is biased over there. According to my understanding, Megan Taylor can rise from a gossip anchor to the anchor of Channel 11's number one ace program, competing with Fox News. "Ke Osmond has a lot to do with it. From a public relations perspective, it's difficult for us to do anything about it."
"I have an idea." Attorney Cheryl spoke at this time. From her professional perspective, she said: "The other party has the video and plans to broadcast it on the public media without notifying the parties, which violates basic human rights and Portrait rights."
She looked at Waglen: "You have the right to apply for privacy protection. As an attorney, I will apply for a judge. Temporary restraining order prohibits Fox TV from broadcasting."
Rooney wondered: "Is this okay?"
Cheryl said: "It is definitely not in full compliance with the regulations, but it must be followed. Come on, is there so much bad stuff happening in America?”
Redford frowned slightly: “Is it too late?”
"It's definitely too late on my own." Cheryl is not stupid. She definitely can't do this kind of thing.
She looked at Wallglen, then at Redford, and said: "I need you to mobilize your power to assist me, and it must be fast. You must get it before the Fox Television Network executives react. Temporary restraining order, so we will have at least 14 days..."
"Wait "Lu. Ni Neng became the director of Full Speed Public Relations Company, and of course she had real credentials: "I thought of a way to cooperate with Cheryl."
Waglen said: "Please tell me."
Rooney said quickly: "The prohibition order has a time limit, and we must consider what to do next."
She got inspiration from the selfie-taking method of Menhoek: “In the meantime, we can contact the Sacred Valley manufacturers and find a few actors who look similar to Wallgren and actresses who look childish to take selfies. And use secret photography techniques to shoot some large-scale videos and put them on the Internet to create a series of uncles and little girls to confuse the public. ”
Redford said: "Good idea."
Walgren also agreed: "Okay, okay."
"You have time to do this when the prohibition order comes down." Shelly I was not proficient in public relations and urged: "Get the restraining order first."
Redford glanced at Wallglen: "I'll make a call."
Cheryl picked up the bag: "I'm going back to the law firm now to initiate an application and keep in touch."
Rooney also went to work, opened the bag and found a piece of information left in the car, and told Sasha: "Go Get the potential list back in the car.”
Sasha left the private room and came to the elevator. She saw the Mexican cleaner cleaning the marble wall panels, pressed the down button of the elevator, and waited. Come up in the elevator.
The cleaner moved to a place closer to her and continued mopping the wall.
Sasha seemed to be saying to herself: "The video exists, and Wallgren may have secretly filmed a lot of it."
The cleaner's rag fell down, as if nodding.
The elevator came up at this time, and Sasha entered the elevator without looking back.
After the cleaners finished cleaning here, they went to the freight elevator.
In the suite, Redford's phone number went to Sacramento. When Pope on the other side got through, he explained the matter in detail.
Pop was silent for a moment: "There must be other videos."
Redford also knows this: "I know that now the LAPD remains neutral and the video cannot be exposed by Fox TV, otherwise the LAPD will have no choice but to end under the pressure of public opinion."
Pope said: "I will contact Judge Bremer"
His tone changed. Very deep: "Robert, I don't want to hear any more news or rumors about the video, do you understand?"
Redford understood what this meant: "I will try my best to get rid of Wallgren."< br>
Pop said: "It's not about trying your best, it's about being sure."
After the phone call here, Pope thought about it and called Cheryl's lawyer first. After asking for details, he called Judge Bremer.
Pop stood up and came to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window and thinking: How many secret photos did that bastard Van Wagelen take?
…………
Beverly Avenue, inside that villa.
Hoke received a call from Campos and confirmed that the video was real.
Brian praised: "It turns out that most people are like me, and they still record it after playing."
"Don't make excuses for your perversion." Hawke sarcastically said, and then turned to the topic: "The next goal is very clear, find a way to get the video."
Brian went to look for information and said: "I have already found out all the properties under Waglen's name. And the bank safe, do you want to send someone to look for it directly?"
Hoke raised his hand to stop: "Don't worry, you can find it, which means others can also find it. Think about it, Waglen will Where are you hiding the video?”
He suddenly remembered the teacher in front of him who also took the video, and asked: “Where is your video hidden?”
"What do you want to do?" Brian was very alert: "Do you want to mess with me?"
Hoke reminded: "Think from my perspective."
Brian thought for a while and said vaguely : "I hid it in a very safe place that is difficult for others to find."
Hoke said: "How many people can you mobilize? Let them be prepared. If things don't go well on my side, use your method to deal with it."
"I'll do it right now. Go make a call." Brian picked up the phone and went to another room.
Hawke looked at Caroline and asked: "Have you been notified?"
Caroline nodded slightly: "She will always pay attention to Waglen's developments." She wondered: "Waglen is really Will it escape?"
"It's just possible." Hawke asked back: "If there is something very similar to the treasure you treasure, this thing will still concern you in the future. "How will you react when you find it suddenly appearing in the future?"
Caroline said: "Have my things been lost? Well... I will go and see if they are still there?" , if possible, find a safer place.”
Brian came back after making the call and heard these words: “It’s hard for most people to hold back.”
Caroline asked: "Do you want her to take action and give you a push?"
"No, don't do this." Through the movements of the past few days, Hawke judged: "The people over there are not Idiot, we finally got Nail to gain trust. She can be used as an eye, but not Turn into a hand."
He looked at Brian, then at Caroline, and pressed his hand down: "Guys, we have seen the dawn, be more patient."
The three of them discussed alternative plans. One more plan would give them more confidence.
Megan Taylor's call came to Hawke at this time.
Hawke asked: "Something happened?"
Megan replied: "Legal trouble."
Hoke simply turned on the speakerphone and let Brian listen together.
Meghan continued: "I just received a call from Judge Bremer, suspecting that my show may use video recordings that infringe on the rights of others. The lawyer for the client submitted a privacy protection application, and Judge Bremer wants to temporarily Call both parties to hold a hearing."
Brian sneered: "As expected, these bastards are trampling on the bottom line of the law step by step!"
Hawke asked another key question: "Should the video be played during the hearing?"
"No." Brian said directly: "We can refuse on the spot on the grounds of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the other party in the video."
Meghan said: “This is what I told my legal advisor. "
Since the other party has used such methods, Hawke can imagine the final result: "No matter what, let your people argue with reason, although we have not thought about publishing that news."
In the storage disk is Miss Me's sheep cry. It is absolutely impossible to release it.
Megan said: "Hoke, I'm about to be dragged into the water by you."
Before Hawke could speak, Brian said: "Miss Taylor, the Ferguson family remembers your helping hand."
< br>"You're welcome." Megan was very good at talking: "I am willing to help because of my friendship with Hawke."
The two parties quickly hung up the phone.
Hoke thought for a while and called Campos again: "Take people to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel and don't sleep tonight."
Campos responded: "Understood."
Not long after, Campos and Garcia, dressed in formal attire, checked into the Four Seasons Hotel separately.
At the same time, Cheryl's phone call came to Robert Redford.
After the latter answered the call, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Judge Bremer issued a one-week temporary injunction to Fox Television on the grounds of privacy protection and possible infringement of portrait rights."
Waglen asked: "Have you seen the video content?"
"Fox refused to give in." Redford said: "They also refused us to get the video back on the grounds of privacy protection." Waglen cursed: "Damn it!"
This was expected, Rooney reminded: "Only One week, time is very tight.”
Redford has a lot of connections: “According to the plan, I will contact the manufacturers in the Holy Valley to make the uncle and girl series.”
He picked up the bag and came to the scene. Before leaving, he looked at Waglen again, but ultimately said nothing.
The two had been friends for decades, and the gang would definitely help, not to mention that he was also involved. Redford patted Wahlgren on the shoulder and left quickly.
Rooney also wants to leave: "The other party is still looking for potential targets. I want to go back to have a meeting and let people make corresponding plans."
Waglen waved his hand: "Let's go. "
Rooney looked towards Sasha.
Sasha is sitting in front of the computer, gathering the list of collectors.
Mainly small actors who have appeared in the works of Redford and Wallgren.
Rooney asked: "Are you going to wait a while?"
Sasha nodded: "After I finish this, I want to find an insider to confirm the specific personnel there, so that I can be targeted. ”
“Yes.” Rooney recognized her ability and trusted her: “Contact me in time if you have any important news.”
“Yes! Continue to bury your head in front of the computer.
Rooney greeted Wallglen and left the suite.
Waglen came to the window, opened the curtains and looked down, always thinking about the video in his head.
What he is most worried about now is the secretly filmed videos.
These things are important.
Waglen is a film director with a rich imagination and has seen some nasty things, so he made the video as a trump card.
Once the current incident completely deteriorates, he, the first party involved, will definitely be given up.
Wahlgren suddenly regretted not taking the video, but not having more backups of the video.
I went abroad to live with my ex-wife in Australia and mailed a copy.
When I return to my cousin in the Netherlands, I also need to mail a copy.
Old friend Redford, forget it, he is too involved with those people.
Waglen returned to the room, took off the coat he was wearing, took the hat he wore every day when going out, and a spare pair of plain glasses, and put them on the sofa.
The woman from the Full Speed Public Relations Company is still working hard.
Wahlgren felt that the public relations money was well spent. Rooney Chasen had outstanding abilities and defeated Hawke Osmond in public opinion.
Even his subordinates can find a breakthrough independently.
He came behind the woman and asked: "Is your name Sasha?"
Sasha turned back and smiled politely: "Yes."
Waglen asked: "Can I ask you a favor? A little something."
Sasha Very professional: "Mr. Director, you are the employer of me and Full Speed Company. If you have any orders, just tell me."< br>
Waglen thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. He coughed and said, "You put on my clothes, get in my car, go out for a spin, um... just go to Griffith." Over there at the Si Observatory.”
Sasha wondered: “Just these?”
"Did you drive here?" Wallgren guessed that the people from Redford outside might be watching: "Lend me your car."
Sasha took out the car key and handed it to To Waglen, he said: "The car is in Area C of the underground parking lot. A red Focus."
Waglen pointed to the sofa: "Go and change your clothes."
"Okay." Sasha picked up the clothes and hat on the sofa. Entered the conference room, closed the door, and quickly changed into it.
After she came out, she was stopped by Waglen again.
The latter put a pair of flat glasses on her, put her hair into a hat, and adjusted it slightly: "That's it."
Sasha was ready to leave.
Waglen took out his wallet, grabbed most of the cash inside, and stuffed it into Sasha's hand: "This matter is our secret, don't tell anyone."
He did not forget his greatest advantage: "As a public relations person, your clients are the most important. If your clients need roles in the future, they can come to me."
Sasha hurriedly responded: "Okay."< br>
Waglen waved: "Go."
Sasha stuffed her cell phone and some personal belongings into her bag, went out and took the elevator downstairs.
Arrived at the parking lot, she quickly found Waglen's Bentley.
Sasha looked around, hid behind a pillar, took out her cell phone, found Caroline's number, and called her.
The other party connected and asked: "Is there something urgent?"
"Wahlgren asked me to wear his clothes, wear his hat, and drive out in his car..." Sasha quickly recounted what had just happened.
Caroline asked quickly: "He left your car?"
"Yes." Sasha said again: "I suspect he wanted to take my car out. ."
Caroline said: "You do as Wallgren said. Do it, don’t worry about the rest, I won’t call you, don’t go back to the Four Seasons Hotel.”
Sasha responded, waited for the other party to hang up, got into the Bentley, drove out of the underground parking. field, heading northeast toward Griffith Observatory.
She didn't notice that two cars were following her in the traffic behind her.
At the same time, in the villa on Beverly Avenue, Hawke and Caroline exchanged a few words and knew that the opportunity had come.
He immediately called Campos: "The plan has changed. You are leaving the hotel now. There is a main intersection on the east and west sides of the hotel. Guard at the intersection."
Carlo Lin automatically answered the call: "A red Focus is currently parked in Area C. The license plate number is..."
Campos wrote it down, hung up the phone and went out, notifying Garcia and Carlos at the same time.
The latter pushed the bucket and rag, temporarily ended the work at hand, and took the freight elevator back underground.
The cleaning department is located in the underground parking lot, not far from Area C.
Campos and Garcia came out of the hotel one after another, drove into their own cars, and came to the intersection on the east and west sides.
At the villa, Brian asked: "Should we go there? We can use the same method to let the savior drive away the people outside."
Hoke said: "We Sitting here without any movement is the best help. Once we go out, the people watching outside will immediately report to our superiors.”
Brian nodded: "It's up to you."
Caroline was a little worried: "Will Sasha be in danger?"
"No." Hawke comforted: "She was just pushed out by Waglun to attract attention. Waglun only had to sneak out and... Something will definitely happen.”
Upstairs at the Four Seasons Hotel, Wallgren changed into inconspicuous clothes, stood in front of the window, saw his Bentley drive out of the basement, and took Sasha’s. After waiting for a moment to make sure Bentley had not returned, he went out and went downstairs.
He took the elevator to the underground garage and walked towards Area C.
There is a cleaner nearby, cleaning the dust around the support pillars.
Wahlgren glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, pressed the electronic key, saw the lights flashing, and quickly found a red Focus.
The car is not bad, 80% new.
Waglen got in the car, drove out of the parking space, and drove towards the basement door.
Carlos took out his mobile phone and made several calls: "The target got into the corresponding vehicle and is leaving."
"Copy that."
Waglen drove onto the main road and drove all the way west.
Not long after, he turned onto Santa Monica Boulevard. When he arrived in Santa Monica, he stopped in front of a store for a while, got out of the car and bought some storage disks.
Then Waglen drove onto 20th Street and stopped in front of an apartment building that was built less than ten years ago.
The apartment on the third floor was given to him by his cousin before returning to the Netherlands.
Waglen did not change the title information, and the house remained in his cousin's name.
This apartment has also become a good place for him to hide things.
Waglen took the elevator upstairs, came to room 404, opened the door and went in.
