...from unnecessary risk.

Jack, I don't think you're hearing

what I'm saying.

JACK:
I hear what you're saying.

Fraud loss is inevitable...

...pass it on to the customers

as the cost of doing business.

JACK:

We don't wanna do that, do we?

ARLIN:
We're all here to serve

the customers. Let's try and get along.

- We can have the best of both worlds.

-Doesn't exist, Arlin.

JACK:
Look, I'm sorry. This went on

a little longer than I anticipated.

There's stuff I really have to get to.

- Okay, let's get on with it.

GARY:
Network attacks...

...network activity.

- Where is this guy?

-He's in reception.

He said it's personal.

Should I get him?

No, I'll walk over there.

Mr. Stanfield, Mr. Hughes.

Jack Stanfield, Mr. Hughes.

- Do I know you?

-I know you.

- Do you have a card?

-Oh, yeah.

DHD Financial. What can I do for you?

You can give me

the $95,000 you owe me.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

-No?

I'm collecting for GambleNet U.S.A.

Does that ring a bell?

- No, it doesn't.

-You racked up 95,000 in online wagers.

And I got the paperwork to prove it.

You got the wrong Jack Stanfield.

I don't gamble.

- I don't have any debt. Check your facts.

-You're a deadbeat. See you in court.

- Laurie, call security.

-Don't bother, sweetheart.

Gambling's an addiction, Mr. Stanfield.

Get some help.

JANET:
Well, I thought the idea

was to match it to the curtains.

- Yes, but if you do that...

-Nice flowers.

Bobby?

That would be the wrong thing to do,

don't you think?

HARRY:
What's up, partner?

-Take a look at this.

Wow. Who were you betting on?

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
