COX:
You do your work, Jack.

Chase that American dream.

The video camera,

with a wide-angle lens.

VEL:
We see what you see.

-Whoa!

VEL:

I've cloned your cell phone.

Any call that you make or receive,

we can monitor.

JACK:
What about my family?

-Oh, they'll be safe...

...here with us.

Now, tuck your shirt in

and go to work.

- Bye,pal

-Bye,Dad.

You're a young man.

JACK:

You don't need to be doing this.

The longer it goes on...

...the deeper in you are.

Let's stop it right now,

before it gets worse.

Same to you, kid.

[CHATTERING]

You're gonna love me.

- Those tickets I couldn't get? I got them.

JACK:
I need five minutes.

WOMAN'S VOICE [OVER PHONE]:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average...

...is up 16 points to 10,255...

...on a volume of 22 million shares.

The NASDAQ Composite

is up 11 points...

...to 2,061 on a volume

of 1.6 million shares.

Can you hear me?

JACK [OVER RADIO]:

Can you hear me?

If you can hear me, tell your boss

I wanna speak to him.

Tell him to quit dicking me around

and tell me what he wants me to do.

- Can you hear me?

-Jack? Are you okay?

Yes, I'm just talking to myself.

What's up?

Arlin wants to see you.

Yeah.

So you're an architect.

Yes.

VEL:

And you designed this house.

I did.

It's nice.

Thanks.

How old is it?

BETH:

Seven years.

VEL:

How much does a house like this go for?

This is about robbing the bank,

isn't it?

You're using Jack to help you

rob the bank.

Open a few doors

and press a few buttons.

LIAM:

Just look after the kids, Beth.

And, Vel, stick to your work.

I need you to try and get along.

Arlin, I'm tired of him patronizing me.

Gary is an idiot.

Be that as it may, he's a fact of life...

...on top of which, you may be working

for him in a couple of weeks.

Okay. I'll take care of it.

Jack. Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

And Beth and the kids?

They're fine, Arlin.

Listen, Jack, Gary doesn't like you

very much...

...and based on your performance

yesterday, it's not hard to understand.

Also, we had a debt collector here

yesterday asking questions.

- What was that all about?

-Somebody compromised my identity...

...and ran up $95,000 worth

of online gambling debt.

Harry's taking care of it.

You know me, I--

I don't gamble. I don't have any debt.

Talk to Gary now.

- I want this merger to go smoothly.

-I can't today, I'm--

Today, Jack.

Okay. I'll take care of it. Thanks.

Are we on for dinner next week?

Um, yeah, let me check with Beth.

Looks good. Get it out there.

Gary?

Oh, yeah, Jack. Need something?

Yeah, I just wanted to have a word.

If...

If I seemed like I was a little abrupt...

...or difficult yesterday,

I wanna apologize.

I want you to know I am committed

to this process.

- Just having a bad day, that's all.

-Seem a little stressed. Everything okay?

- Yeah. I'm just fine, Gary. Thank you.

-You sure?

- Yeah.

-We can make this merger work...

...for everyone's benefit.

I'm here to help. If you ever do have

a problem, my door is always open.

Thank you, Gary.

Janet? Come in here

for a second, will you?

We'll do some letters.

Janet, if I've been difficult

or distant...

...for the last couple of days,

I hope you'll understand.

JACK [OVER RADIO]: I wanna apologize.

JANET [OVER RADIO]: That's okay.

JACK:

We're a team, you and me.

And I want you to understand how much

I appreciate what you do for me.

- Thanks, Jack.

-It means the world to me.

JACK [OVER RADIO]: Sometimes I think I just need to...

...relax.

Okay.

- Take a minute.

-Okay.

Take five minutes out of the day...

...and just sit quietly

and take a break.

JACK [OVER RADIO]: You know, just...

JANET [OVER RADIO]: Sure. Jack--?

He's lost it. Completely lost it.

Letter to Scott Smith.

Dear Scott,

pursuant to your request...

...for further information regarding

the security-interface issues...

...unfortunately, the information

that you requested is not available.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Until the merger--

Sh*t. Strike that.

- Harry's in L.A. for a convention.

-Thanks for coming to tell me that.

JACK:
I can refer you

to my associate, Gary Mitchell...

...who may be able to provide you

with the information.

- Regards to the family, usual close.

-Jack?

JANET [OVER RADIO]:

Jack, I've been looking for you.

Sh*t.

JANET [OVER RADIO]: There's a Bill Redmond to see you.

- Sh*t!

JACK [OVER RADIO]: Who?

Redmond,

from the Federal Banking Board?

- What are you talking about, Federal--?

-Jack Stanfield?

Bill Redmond. Pleased to meet you.

Janet, close the door, please.

- Look--

-Oh, Jack, Jack, Jack.

Liam, take the boy downstairs

and break his knee.

Don't do that.

It's my fault, not his. It's my mistake.

Don't take it out on the boy.

[ANDY SCREAMING OVER PHONE]

Please.

- Please don't.

-Liam?

BETH [OVER PHONE]:

Let him go!

Leave him be for now.

I'd like a tour of the bank now, Jack.

I'm sorry, I have a terrible memory.

- What was your name?

-Janet Stone.

- Janet, can I borrow a pen?

-Sure.

That one'll do. I just need to write them

down once, and then they stick.

I didn't know about your meeting.

Who set it up?

It was a last-minute thing, Janet.

I forgot to tell you.

Now I'm gonna give Mr. Redmond

a tour of the bank.

- Thanks.

-I'll find you if I need you.

- Good morning, Mr. Stanfield.

-Good morning.

- I have a guest, Mr. Redmond.

-Hi.

Hi.

Open sesame.

Mr. Stanfield.

You'd think with so much plastic, there

wouldn't be a need for this real money.

COX:
How long do they keep the images

from those cameras?

Fifteen days.

Thank you.

How do you expect

to get in and out of here?

I don't.

This is the real vault, isn't it, Jack?

Binary code.

Virtual money.

Tell me, how can it be stealing

if you can't even touch it?

That's it, huh? This is your plan?

You think your schoolboy techie friend

can hack into these servers?

This is what you kidnapped

my family for?

I don't need to hack into anything.

We're already inside.

All we need to do is plug in.

You're gonna log on to a maintenance

terminal and run a prioritized search...

...selecting the accounts

of your 10,000 richest customers.

And then with the program on this,

you'll withdraw $10,000 from each...

...and transfer the money

to my offshore accounts.

A hundred million dollars.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

- That's a good plan.

-Thanks, we like it.

At least it was last week.

Look around. Do you see any

maintenance terminals to plug into, huh?

The bank that took us over

had them removed.

There's nothing accessible from this

room anymore. Not from this building.

You're in the wrong town.

You should be in Wichita, Kansas, Bill.

You designed the software...

...you find me a way in.

I wouldn't know where to start.

Well, then you have

a big f***ing problem.

- Looks like it's almost done.

-Yeah.

[PHONE RINGING]

Andy!

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

[DOG BARKING]

Let him go. Oh!

PIM:
Come on--

-Okay, okay.
