You got your one phone call.

0Hi~02br
02br
02br
02br
00In the following dialogue, I don't understand well the meaning of "You got your one phone call."02br
02br
00As I searched info on the website, people arrested have a right to make one call to one they know.02br
02br
00So I imagine that sentence might mean "you have a right to make a phone call."02br
02br
00Or "You already made a call." ..... or "somebody called you now so..."02br
02br
02br
02br
00Well... if you have some idea, would you comment some?02br
02br
00Thanks a lot~ !02br

00M: I’m innocent. I want to talk to my lawyer.02br
00W: 01u01b00You got your one phone call.02b02u00 If you cooperate, we’ll be easier on you.02br
02br
00M: I have no idea what you’re talking about. I told you – I’m innocent.02br

00Which one do you think is correct, 'if it is relevant' or '00if they are relevant' if I make the phrase "if relevant" into full sentence ?02br
