I wasn't betting. I don't gamble.

- I don't even know how.

-Well, that's obvious.

Think somebody got my information off

the bank's internal network or what?

Are you doubting yourself

in your old age?

No. More likely a dumpster diver...

...somebody sifting through your trash.

-Maybe.

A debt collector showed up

this morning about it.

Don't worry. I'll clean it up.

It's just a pain in the ass.

Bill Cox? Guy from Atlanta.

- Supposed to have a drink.

-I can do 5:
30.

I wanna get home early, pizza night.

- Good. I'll let him know.

-Okay.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hey, you.

JACK [OVER PHONE]: Hi, hon.

Harry and I need to see a guy

for a few minutes after work.

- Okay if I'm late?

-What are you thinking?

I don't know, 45 minutes, tops.

We'll see you when we see you.

Love you.

Love you too. Bye.

I see him. My question is this:

Do we really wanna work

for those Accuwest morons?

- I'll listen to what he has to say.

HARRY:
This guy could be our future.

JACK:

Okay, okay.

HARRY:
Bill.

-Good to see you, Harry.

- Bill Cox, Jack Stanfield.

-How are you?

I've been looking forward

to meeting you. Please, sit.

Thank you.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Sarah, the pizza's here.

My wallet's by the door.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Is somebody gonna get that?

WAITRESS:
Here you go.

BILL:
So listen...

...I don't know how much

Harry's told you about what I do.

Not a lot. Just that you're in banking.

I have a company that provides

banking-support services...

...mainly in the South, but, really,

I'm an old-fashioned entrepreneur.

[YELLING OVER TV]

If that's a scary movie, turn it off.

Your brother won't sleep for a week.

BETH:
I'm so sorry to make you--

-Hello.

Aah!

BETH:
Sarah!

-Mom.

Call 911!

There's over 200 regional banks

in the U.S. alone that have nothing...

...like the sophistication of the system

you developed for Landrock.

[SCREAMING]

BETH:

Sarah! Leave her alone!

With your system's software...

...Harry's expertise in law enforcement

and the physical security...

...you're an unbeatable team.

PIM:

Hey! Come here!

No!

- What are you doing to me? Get away!

PIM:
Shut up!

You'd be your own bosses.

I'd just supply the money-

BETH:
Don't hurt my children.

-Shut up!

Oh, my God, what do you want?

I have to think about

a couple of other options...

...but this sounds very attractive.

Okay, good.

[SCREAMING]

I hate to break this up.

JACK:
I gotta get home.

-Family man.

No! Daddy!

So how many kids do you have?

- Two. Boy, 8. Girl, 14.

-Wow.

- Sure you don't need a ride?

-No, thanks, Harry. I'm fine.

Going back tonight?

- No, I've got some business in town.

-Well, great meeting you. Take care.

She has beautiful eyes,

your daughter.

What?

Jesus, what--?

Oh, my God. What do you want?

I wanna get you home.

It's pizza night.

Drive.

Drive.

Liam, we're on our way.

Everything all right?

Fine, the house is secure.

And we're setting up now.

I wanna talk to my wife.

You hear that, Liam?

He wants to talk to his wife.

They can't talk right now.

She's busy.

JACK:

Who are you?

What's this about?

What do you want from me?

This is your exit, Jack.

MAN [OVER TV]:
Three defenders had

the chance to put him on the ground.

VEL:

They're here.

MAN [OVER TV]:
--as good as he's

been. Tremendous effort to stay alive.

- Where are they?

-Through here.

Jesus.

JACK:
What is this?

ANDY:
Daddy.

Why have you done this,

for God's sake?

It's okay. They're children!

I said, "if they were trouble."

Were they trouble?

- They were noisy.

-Yes, we made an executive decision.

But you're a criminal, Willy,

not an executive.

- But I thought you said--

-Shut up.

ANDY:
Daddy.

-I wanna know what you want...

...and I wanna know now.

Beth...

...I'm sorry about all of this.

I am, but, well...

There we are.

Uh, I need you to talk to your husband.

He listens to you.

I need you to make him understand that

if he doesn't do exactly as I ask...

...I will kill you and your two children.

But if you can make him listen, Beth...

...if you can make him do

what I want...

...you'll all walk away from

this unpleasantness unscathed.

COX:

Not because I'm a nice man...

...simply because there'll be no reason

for me to hurt you.

Make sense?

Can I rely on your cooperation?

- Just tell him yes.

-Yes.

Sarah?

Fine.

And you, big fella?

Maybe.

BETH:
Andy.

-No, it's all right. It's honest.

Do you keep a gun

in the house, Jack?

No.

- Daddy!

-I'm okay.

BETH:
It's okay.

JACK:
Don't worry.

-It's okay.

-I'm all right. I'm okay.

Pass me the gun.

COX:

It's empty.

You lied to me, Jack.

COX:

Don't let it happen again.

You have an excellent alarm system.

What are alarms for, Andy?

- To keep people out.

COX:
That's right.

And they also keep people in.

I'll need the password, Jack.

Lark.

Lark. It's the name of our boat.

All right.

Untie them.

JACK:

Take it easy.

Daddy.

I'll be fine.

COX:
Hi, this is Jack Stanfield,

account number 51216.

I need to change our alarm code

and give you a new password.

I know it's difficult for you,

but try and get some sleep.

Mom, what's going on?

- What do they want?

-I don't know, sweetheart.

Do you want something to eat, Jack?

- I'm not hungry.

-No?

Do you have any wine?

There's some in the bar.

COX:

Pim, go and get me a nice bottle of red.

I don't know sh*t about wine, man.

How do I know if it's nice?

It'll be dusty.

I didn't know he had a gun.

They hit him so hard.

He'll be fine.

It's just a little lump on the head.

- Let's think about something nice, okay?

-Okay.

I know.

We're on board the Lark.

And the sail's up.

And the sun is shining.

And it's warm.

And, Andy, you're at the wheel

with your dad.

Vel.

Get Jack a blanket.

COX:

He's got a busy day tomorrow.

She's asleep. Get some yourself.

- I'll wake you in an hour.

-Okay.

MAN [OVER TV]:
Let's take a look,

show you what's going on.

Yeah, we do have a big storm,

big section of the country.

It's gonna bring a variety

of weather...

COX:

Morning, Jack.

Time to get ready for work.

MAN [OVER TV]:
You can look

for some snow by tomorrow...

...through the upper Great Lakes.

You have to do whatever they want.

I don't care what it is.

It may not be that easy.

We've seen their faces.

- But he said if we just cooperate--

-I know what they said, Beth.

VOICE [OVER TV]:
Did you ever notice

how big squirrels' teeth are?

Where's Andy?

Breakfast.

COX:
Count to three.

ANDY:
One, two, three.

- Whoa!

JACK:
Andy!

Andy.

This man is not our friend. Stay away.

- But I want a pancake.

-Go see your mom.

- Want some Cheerios?

ANDY:
No.

You're worried I'll give him

peanut oil, Jack.

I know about his allergy.

Don't imagine for one second...

...that I just blundered in here

out of the rain.

Don't touch him.

Don't talk to him.

And don't feed him anything.

VEL:
I'm fitting you

with two separate systems.

Audio transmitter.

We hear everything you do.

- What do I do when I get to the office?
