Though the police are able to catch the culprits, Mike becomes increasingly worried about the safety of his own family and decides to take action. He enlists the help of his youngest daughter, Eve, to install a security system in their home.
As the system is being installed, Mike's family pokes fun at him for being paranoid and overprotective. However, Mike is adamant that he is doing the right thing to keep his family safe.
