and it's got me busy.

- I'm sure you know how that is.

- Oh, yeah.

Have you got your I. D?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

Oh, just bring it next time.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

All right.

Thanks.

Good night, Martin.

Mitnick is good.

He's better than good,

but he's not perfect.

He's not a machine.

Somewhere, he's made a mistake.

I need to find that mistake.

We look for patterns

by cross-referencing

the data from my hack

with the Brian Merrill

phone records.

I'm certain he's using

Netcom as his main provider.

The log-in times will match

one of their client accounts.

An account Mitnick

has probably hijacked.

Mr. Shimomura,

the log-in times you sent us

did match one of our accounts.

The account belongs

to G. Kremen,

a 52-year-old divorced

advertising exec from Minnesota.

Perfect.

Probably reads

e- mail once a month.

He's at a telnet session.

The other party

is somewhere inside Israel.

Did you say Israel?

Positive. JSZ is

somewhere inside Israel.

Nokitel.

Martin has to be our boy.

Any way to trace Martin's

P. O. P?

I can try.

Just keep typing, dipshit.

Oh, please.

Okay, check it out!

In the course of six hours,

he's dialed into Hawaii,

Boston, Port-of-Spain, Dallas.

Man, it's teleportation!

Ron, we just need

his real P. O. P.

Just stay online

a little longer. Come on.

Come on!

Local call.

No area code.

I got it!

P. O. P. 's in Raleigh-Durham!

- You sure?

- Yes.

Your boy's in North Carolina.

Mr. Shimomura,

Special Agent Gibson

has kept me apprised,

but this is not

about computer security.

It's law enforcement.

Agent Rollins,

I'd like to stay involved.

Well, I understand that,

sir, but I'm sorry.

I cannot authorize civilians

going on what has now become

criminal apprehension.

I will, however, have everyone

keep you informed.

Thank you.

Oh, he's thrilled we're coming.

Who are you calling now?

Brad. He should have

just arrived in Raleigh.

I don't know. There's

something about this guy.

I was on this telnet session,

and it was like

he was watching me.

Listen.

Do you know what you're saying?

Listen to me.

He was there.

You're getting jumpy. How could

he figure out where you're at?

He was there!

Alex, listen to me.

9:
00 A. M. Tomorrow.

Don't forget and don't be late.

I'm limited as to what

information I can give you.

- I'm not authorized.

- You said that.

Look, Mr. Shimomura,

I understand this is important,

but I can't give out that info.

You promised me you'd help.

I want to help,

but what you're asking me for,

I could lose my job.

I traveled over 3,000 miles,

and I'm not gonna leave.

You heard what he said!

He could lose his job.

At least show some respect!

You're the genius here.

Think about what

you're doing, man.

Man, what's it...

Okay, Dan, how about this?

We look for the calls

to the Netcom P. O. P.

Specific times.

We match them

to the sessions we have.

Can we do that?

- Can we do that, Dan?

- Come on, Dan.

All right.

I can do that, I guess.

It took thinking.

Good morning, Rachel.

How was your weekend,

Mr. Fiori?

Short.

Way too short.

That was fast.

Computer Sciences.

Tom?

Hey, is that you?

What you doing

answering your phone?

Well, I...

Who is this?

Greg Mundy, B. E. C.

Your service rep.

Tom, we've had complaints

about the latest

tape update we sent out.

Are you having problems?

No, not that I know of.

Hold on.

Rachel, we having problems

with last month's B. E. C. Update?

Well, this problem's

causing some systems to crash.

Jesus.

Which is why I'm sending

one of my maintenance guys by.

His name's Joe.

He should be there shortly.

I'll just feel more comfortable

if he's been by.

If there's any problem,

he's gonna fix it

because we at B. E. C. Like to

stand behind our products.

Hi. Joe Turner,

Binary Equipment Corporation.

Okay.

Friday.

At 15:
29, do you see

404-555-7332,

duration, 44 minutes?

Yes, I have that.

Okay.

What a way to start a Monday.

Okay, Joe, it's all yours.

Let me just try

a different P. O. P.

It's the same day.

It's a call

to 612-555-6400.

It's at 22:
22 for 49 minutes.

I have it.

Rachel, hi.

Just in time.

Would you do me a favor?

Get me a cup of coffee, please?

- Sure.

- Thank you.

Do you see a call Sunday?

It's at 02:
21, 919-555-8900.

Yep.

Now, are they all going

to the same cell site?

As a matter of fact, yes.

So, where is it?

Well...

Cell site 19.

It's outside the city

near the airport.

How big of an area is it?

It's a radius

not larger than a mile.

Hey, Dan.

You ever go trolling?

- Trolling?

- Yeah.

Yeah, in the van,

just like trolling for albacore.

Do you guys like fishing

for real because we could go.

You're all set.

Couldn't find a thing.

Hey, thanks, Joe.

Lifesaver.

Bye, Nancy Drew.

Afternoon, folks.

I want to officially

thank all of you

for your invaluable help

with this matter.

Okay, now that that's

out of the way,

what I want to tell you is this.

We have a delicate

situation here.

We're trying to build

a case against Mitnick.

We want the case to hold up.

We want the case to hold up

even if he hires a Dershowitz

or that wiseass Johnnie Cochran.

Can you believe this?

He wants to take the case,

or Jerry Spence shows up,

walking all over us

because of one single, little,

f***ing, f*ggot detail

we neglected to take care of.

Okay, do I make myself clear?

We get warrants

for everything, fine.

If we don't, we do nothing.

There'll be no discussions,

just plain old f***ing

compliance.

We gather all the information.

We lay down the paper trail.

We will apprehend.

All right, good day to you.

F***ing bullshit, man.

Dan, can Brad hang back here

and use your phones?

Yeah, that's fine.

Link up with

Ron Bowie at Netcom.

Monitor the Kremen account.

What are we looking for?

Patterns. Our guy's working

from a cellular phone

like he did in Seattle,

which means we can catch him.

10,000 computers

at your command?

That's like your own

computer network.

That's awesome.

What do you think

your exposure is?

None.

With the system patch,

they can't tell I'm logged on.

There's no record.

That's awesome.

How long to crack Contempt?

36, 24 hours, maybe.

Awesome!

I'm a genius.

What do you got?

An inexpensive version

of your CellScope.

It's not very directional,

but it'll pick up both channels.

How does a private citizen

get his hands on that?

I designed it.

Oh.

Makes me a little nervous.

Will you read me

those minutes, Julia?

555-0106.

Next.

555-0120.

Next.

Got him!

Left here!

- How's the signal?

- Strong.

Dan!

Sh*t!

Jeez!

All right, slow down.

We're very close.

This may be this complex.

Left.

Wow, that's close.

Pull in here.

Pull in here.

This building.

Definitely this building.

Here.

Thanks.

There's cream and sugar.

If he goes outside...

We've got him on

probation violation.

Your people know to halt

cellular traffic?

Gonna have

transmissions scrambled.
