After the meeting, Martin had a chat with Mayor Villaraigosa and LAPD bigwig Bratton. When he saw they had important matters to discuss, he excused himself at the right moment.
McLain escorted Martin out of City Hall.
Not only did he exchange personal contact information with Martin, but he also gifted Martin an "exemption card" on behalf of the LAPD.
Of course, it wasn't an exemption from the law, but rather a means to receive preferential treatment within the LAPD's jurisdiction.
Considering McLain's position, Martin specifically said, "I'm making my way in Hollywood and also getting involved in film project investments. Last year, I established a studio, mainly associated with Warner Bros. and Pacific Pictures. I might need LAPD's help in the future with film shootings."
The LAPD is one of Hollywood producers' biggest partners, and since McLain was in charge of this sector, he said, "Just give me a call if you need anything."
