Answer the goddamn phone.

- Hello.

MAN [OVER PHONE]: It's Tom.

- Hi, Tom.

- Something wrong?

No, everything's okay.

I just dropped a bottle of milk...

...and it's just made

a big mess everywhere.

Listen, I thought we'd stop by--

Thanks, but we're all down

with the flu.

- All right, well--

-Okay. I gotta get back.

- Thanks, Tom.

-Okay.

ANDY:
Mom.

BETH:
Come on.

Are you all right? Okay, you're okay.

Don't you ever touch my children again,

do you hear me?

Shut your goddamn mouth.

From now on, you do as you're told!

- Roll down the window!

-What?

- How much is he paying you?

-Get back in!

- Five million dollars to get my family out.

-Get in the car or I call Bill.

There are traps in the system.

He's gonna get caught.

You're all gonna get caught, Willy.

- Five million dollars, right now.

-In the car, I mean it!

Get back in the car.

- What the hell happened, man?

-Nothing.

Exactly. So, what's the plan?

How do we get the money?

You are really beginning to bore me.

I want you and your wife

downstairs now.

How was your day, Beth?

Am I supposed to believe you care?

Willy! Come down here!

Jack has broken our agreement

and decided not to cooperate.

COX:

Willy!

What's he talking about?

-It's just a game, honey.

-No, it's not a game.

Listen to your wife, Jack.

- Hey.

-Sit down, Willy.

So, Willy...

...what happened today? How did Jack

manage to hand over the pen?

WILLY:

I'm not exactly sure.

- I mean, everything seemed to be fine.

COX:
Willy, I told you to watch him.

Everything was cool.

And then all of a sudden--

Listen, Willy...

...how can I expect Jack to do

as he's told if you don't?

Yeah, I don't know.

- I made a mistake. Sorry.

-We all make mistakes, Willy.

- Just not as many as you.

-Yeah, yeah, I said I was sorry.

All right.

Okay, you're sorry.

Watch them.

[GUNSHOT]

- Oh!

-God Almighty.

[CRYING]

Get out.

BETH:

Oh, my God.

- What happened?

COX:
Clean this mess up.

VEL:

Sh*t! Liam, come here.

LIAM:
What?

VEL:
He shot him.

Go through the basement.

Get the kids out of here.

LIAM:
Shut up, Vel.

VEL:
Don't tell me to shut up.

Pretend to be watching television,

falling asleep.

- Nine o'clock, I'll divert them.

-Sit down now!

Beth, go to the bedroom.

Jack, over there.

Okay, honey.

- Don't really go to sleep, okay?

-Okay.

Just pretend to be asleep.

-Okay.

-Okay.

This is all gonna be over really soon.

COX:

What are you planning?

How are you gonna get me

my money?

Uh, I don't know yet.

I'm working on it.

COX:
You've got 12 hours

till the bank opens, Jack.

Sh*t.

Go. Get Daddy's flashlight.

Okay, go.

- What's going on, Vel?

-it's fine.

It's just some local interference.

COX:

Go check on Jack.

It's back.

Yeah, he's just sitting there.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

LIAM:

Pim!

COX:

Vel, you stay here and watch.

Okay, go, honey, go-

[SCREAMING]

Wait, honey.

ANDY:
Mom.

-Let me go first, honey.

COX:
Pim, check the bedroom!

Vel, get these lights on now!

Fast as you can. Fast as you can.

Andy, go.

They're gone!

[PHONE RINGING]

Liam, we need him.

[PHONE CONTINUES RINGING]

They're not here!

Hello!

Yes, this is Jack Stanfield.

- You okay?

ANDY:
Yeah.

I'm sorry.

My son opened a door, and...

Yeah, I know.

Come on, honey, help me.

Ready? One, two...

They're in the garage!

Come here. Okay, go, go, honey.

LIAM:

Get out of--!

ANDY:

Mom!

[SARAH SCREAMS]

Open the goddamn door now!

ANDY:

Stop!

Mom!

BETH:
Andy!

COX:
Get them in!

BETH:
Leave them alone.

COX:
Get up!

ANDY:
Mom!

Beth. Beth.

- Jack.Jack!

LIAM:
All right! Move!

COX:
Okay...

LIAM:
Move!

...let's do this a different way.

You'll find a way in, Jack.

That's why we chose you.

COX:

Hey, you mind if I watch TV?

Where's my mom?

She's upstairs, asleep.

No, she's not.

- Where's my dad?

-He's in his office, working.

Well, can I see him?

No.

[CRYING]

I know, I'm sorry.

I made a rule.

I'll let you see him in a bit, okay?

- Okay.

-Good.

COX:

Why have I got no sound?

Is it broken?

No. Give it to me.

WOMAN'S VOICE [OVER TV]: Fred, why don't you give up.

So you're a genius.

Thank you.

- You want a cookie?

-Have they got nuts?

- Why?

-I'm allergic.

I'm sorry, Andy. I didn't know.

Let me check.

Mmm, no.

No,no,no.

Not a peanut in sight. You're fine.

I promise.

BETH:

Jack!Jack!

SARAH:
Andy? Andy!

BETH:
Come on.

Come on, baby.

Breathe for Mommy. Come on, angel.

Andy, breathe for Mommy.

- He's going into shock.

-Is he breathing?

JACK:
Is he breathing?

BETH:
Barely. He's just barely breathing.

JACK:
It's not here.

BETH:
Come on, honey.

Get his backpack. Come on.

Stay with me, Andy. Stay with me.

-It's not here.

SARAH:
Mom, it's not here!

BETH:

Stay here. Stay here, Andy.

Oh, God. Come on, honey.

Do something, he's dying.

BETH:
Breathe for Mommy.

SARAH:
Andy.

Give it to me, please.

I'll do whatever you want.

Give it to me, please.

Please.

BETH:

Come on, breathe. Breathe!

- I've got it.

-He's not breathing.

I've got it.

BETH:

Come on, baby. He's not breathing.

[GASPING]

Okay. You're all right, honey.

- You're okay.

-He's okay. He's okay.

Are you all right, big fella?

Good.

I need my daughter's MP3 player

to use as a hard drive.

Honey.

I need to borrow your iPod.

Will I get it back?

Sure. I promise.

Here.

Thanks, sweetie. Go back to sleep.

VEL:
This is the scanner head

from the fax machine.

Yeah.

VEL:
You'll capture the images of the

account numbers off the server screen...

...and transfer them to this.

Ten thousand songs,

10,000 account codes...

...it doesn't know the difference.

- How will you run the actual file?

JACK:
I won't.

I'll have the maintenance department

in Wichita do it.

But they're still just images.

What are you gonna do?

Use an OCR program to convert

it to data that the computer can use.

Then use my merge program

from the CD.

JACK:

That's right.

What about the money?

I just need access to a wire-transfer

terminal, and you'll get your money.

Vel?

It should work.

It better.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello?

COX [OVER PHONE]: How'd it go?

Oh, fine, considering.

How's it going at your end?

I'll have it finished

by the time you get here.

I guess I never thought

we'd pull this off.

I know. What time

does your flight get in? I'll pick you up.

Fire her.

What?

Fire Janet? Why?

I don't like the way she looks at me.

Fire her.

- Anything else?

-I'm good. Thanks.

- You're the only banker who drinks tea.

-I am?

Give us a minute, will you?

Janet, I want you to pack up your stuff

and go home.

What? What do you mean?

Just what I said.

Pack up your stuff and go home.

Why?

You're fired.

- If this is a joke, it's not funny, Jack.

-No, this is not a joke.

I'll call Human Resources. I'll get you

a job with somebody else at the bank.

- Right now, just do what I said.

-What are you talking about?

- Is this because of him?

-Don't argue with me.

- But I haven't done anything wrong.

-Pack up your sh*t and get out of here.
