Take a seat.

Let's see...

Posession of marijuana

with intent to traffic...

Certainly not original, eh?

Look, I've already told you, I

got it from my mates, alright?

I wasn't trafficking anything.

But, you're the only one

here right now, aren't you?

Now, the drugs we can plea out...

...that still leaves the theft

over for the joyriding.

Oh, come on, really... That's rubish!

I mean, that's Rudy's father's car!

Well, you took his Mercedes

without his consent.

Last time I looked, that's

a crime, Mr. St. Clair.

Mr. Irving, will he have to go to jail?

Well, likely.

Since Mr. St. Clair took it upon himself.

...to fail to appear, twice.

Worst case scenerio? Two years.

No! No way a bit of

weed is worth two years!

Mr. St. Clair...

Please, take a seat. And let me finish.

If you own up to what you did.

Take some responsibility

for your actions...

What's that mean?

If he pleads guilty to all charges...

I'm not guilty of anything!

Sentencing will likely be 3-6 months.

And there's a possibility

of a suspended sentence.

Best case scenerio.

Right... That's great...

Oh, shut it!

Why do you keep doing these things?

Mr. St. Clair, think of your future.

is getting outta control.
