[Frank calls Cooper on the phone; Cooper is told to stall him while the call is traced]
Frank Moses:
Here's the thing, Cooper. With age... comes a certain perspective. I'd be a liar if I said there wasn't a time when I was exactly like you. Blind ambition. Misplaced trust.
William Cooper:
Why are you telling me this?
Frank Moses:
It may help me to decide what to do next.
Interrogation Surveillance Tech:
[technician tracing the call whispering to Cooper]
Just keep it going.
William Cooper:
Why? What are you thinking about?
Frank Moses:
Our business is a very hard one. But it was never the, uh... the killing or the stress, the bad pay that bothered me.
William Cooper:
Well, what was it, Frank?
Frank Moses:
It's how anything that you love... can be taken away from you. It taught me never to care. Never to invest. Then I met this woman. Sarah. And now you have her. Now I can't think of anything more horrible than to know that your enemies can hurt someone you love. The feeling is almost indescribable.
[the trace completes, and the technician hands Cooper a printout]
Frank Moses:
You still there, Cooper?
William Cooper:
[horrified]
You're at my house
[Frank looks out the window into the yard where Cooper's wife and two children, unaware, are playing]
Frank Moses:
Almost indescribable, isn't it?
William Cooper:
[whispering]
Please... Please don't hurt my family.
Frank Moses:
If anything happens to Sarah, I will rip everything you love out of your life. And then I'll kill you.
