- Was that Denver?

- He's done his homework!

You weren't the only one.

I put a lot of my clients' money there.

Those buildings are still empty.

That won't happen down here.

This downtown area

has undergone a revitalization.

The new buildings

are all filled with people,

all within shouting distance

of this place here.

OK. I want to put on a backers' party

so you can get a feel for what could go on.

It's mine.

- Hello.

- Hi, it's me. Bad timing?

We're in the middle of it,

but we're close.

What's going on?

The security people

haven't shown up yet.

Neither have the police

to dust for prints.

- Did you call them?

- Yeah. I get a run-around.

Great. OK, I tell you what.

Here's what you do.

Call the police and ask to talk

to those two cops from last night.

I bet they can help.

Well, OK. I'll try.

I'll be home as soon as I can.

You all right?

Mm-hm. I love you.

- I like that!

- Bye.

Michael, I'm being grilled here!

This area's high crime, right?

You get the people in.

How do you keep the bad element out?

I'm into that as we speak.

I'm working on security now.

Michael, you remember Officer Davis?

Oh, yeah! How are you doing?

I didn't recognize you out of uniform.

- You did all this?

- Yeah, it's no big deal.

- It is! We really appreciate it.

- It's the least I could do.

Mrs. Carr called my captain

and said all kinds of nice things

about me and my partner, Roy.

- It was nice, I appreciate it.

- Can I get you a beer?

Sure, that would be great. Thanks.

There will be contact switches

on every point of entrance.

A breeze won't be able

to get in this house without you knowing!

Here, there will be

an infrared motion detector.

This will detect if

anybody breaks the glass.

Hey! What's he doing in

the bathroom here?

Oh.

It's just an extra precaution,

it's a safe room.

These old houses have doors

like solid rock.

We put a heavy dead bolt

on each entrance here.

If there's an intruder,

just lock yourself in and wait

for the cavalry,

which is us.

Pick out a codeword.

It's got to be seven letters.

Pyramid.

Pyramid?

This is the Michael Carr residence.

The codeword's gonna be pyramid.

Right. OK. Thank you.

That's it.

Oh, yeah.

- 440 cubes, 500 horses.

- Jesus!

- Did you do the work yourself?

- Every nut and bolt.

Installed the alarm. It relaxes me.

- That is nice. Really nice.

- Thanks.

Oh, man!

You've got a knack

for this security stuff!

Do you ever think about

consulting as a sideline?

- Consulting?

- Yeah. Homes, businesses.

I got a club

I'm putting together downtown.

What you're doing today,

but you get paid for your time.

I never really thought about it much.
