- 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?

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
