"the unsuspecting public. "

God, this guy bugs me.

Is he even an American?

Come on, man.

It's the same

sanctimonious crap.

You know what I want?

I want that Nokitel code.

With that,

I stay ahead of the Feds.

I can hear them coming,

and I'm gone.

- Hey, baby.

- Hi, honey.

- How are you?

- I'm good.

You have a nice day?

Yeah.

Hello, Kevin.

So, did you go by Tim's?

Yes, I did.

Did you feed his piranha fish?

Yes, I did.

Speak to me.

Is this Mr. Shimomura?

- Who's this?

- Right, sorry.

This is Bill Rondell

at Sun Microsystems.

- We met at Comdex.

- Uh-huh?

Well, we here at

Sun Microsystems

saw your testimony,

and we were pretty impressed.

A fine, wonderful piece

of reverse engineering.

Well, thanks.

I'm calling in regards

to an advisory

posted on sendmail

vulnerabilities,

and, frankly, I need

help trying to fix it.

Bill, I have another call.

Can you hold on?

- So, Bill. It is Bill?

- Right. You got it.

Bill Rondell

at Sun Microsystems?

Right.

If you could send me...

There is no Bill Rondell

at Sun Microsystems.

If you're gonna con somebody,

get your story straight.

Is that so hard?

How lame are you?

Whoa, whoa, man!

He said I was lame.

He didn't know who you were.

He doesn't know it's you.

Speak to me.

Shimomura, speaking of stories,

you still f***ing Julia?

I believe it's Julia, right?

Peter Maddox's old lady?

Peter's a friend, right?

When you're f***ing,

does she call Peter's name?

I mean, that would be

pretty perverse, wouldn't it?

Who are you?

Someone who cares.

That was really productive.

Don't start with me, Alex.

Look, Kev,

that guy's not gonna be easy.

It was a crank call.

Nothing more.

You didn't hear him.

Tomu, the thing between

me and Peter is over.

It's been over.

You know that.

You're missing the point, Julia.

This is a guy who took the time

to find out about you.

If he's good, he can

be looking into everything.

I've got to get going.

I've got a long night

at the clinic.

See you later.

Bye.

You know, they can wait

a little while.

Don't you dare.

Yes?

Who is this?

Hey, I got a new story for you.

It's the story of the nation's

top computer-security expert.

He gets hacked, and, believe me,

I got the story straight.

What?

Tomu?

Come on.

You want to tell me

what's going on?

Good evening, Mr. Shimomura.

No way.

No f***ing way.

No f***ing way!

35 cents? F***.

What's up?

You won't believe

this hack, man.

Our brother Tsutomu's

deep in toys.

I mean, Nokitel's just the tip.

Shut up, man, okay?

I'm listening.

There's a Crown Victoria

across the street.

Government car.

It's been there all morning.

They talk to you?

No, they're like vultures.
