For 20 years, Reeves Industries has been

at the forefront of the high‐tech revolution.

In fields as diverse

as civilian space flight,

computer design, robotics,

and materials science,

Reeves Industries has taken the lead,

identifying the world's most challenging

engineering problems and solving them.

Founded in 1989 by Gideon Reeves

when he was only 20 years old,

the company has grown into the largest gl...

I think we can stop there.

You guys get the idea, right?

$120 billion company, I'm a genius, et cetera.

All stuff that you know. I just wanted to make sure

that you got to see the part

where my face comes out of molten titanium.

Oh, gosh, I love that.

All right, so...

why did I drag a couple dozen oil company executives

to the middle of nowhere? To watch movies?

No.

It's because you have a problem.

Oil... well... fires.

Just one of those bad boys

costs millions... and it's not just about the money, either.

It's about putting your employees in danger.

Like this.

Stay calm... it's all part of the presentation.

Ah, now,

when there is a fire, what do you do about it?

You send your guys in,

somehow get dynamite

close to the thousand‐degree flame,

detonate it, cross your fingers that

the shock wave will snuff out the blaze.

It's expensive, it's dirty, it's ineffective.

We can do better.

Introducing...

the Reeves TK421.

All right, you've seen drones.

Folks...

this is not just a drone.

Stays airborne for 36 hours.

Operates at temperatures up to 1,700 degrees.

It also carries an exclusive Reeves Industries

concussive charge.

Which means, if you have an oil fire,

you can do this.

Look at that.

Look, look.

Still flying.

Still flying.

Ada here is my CTO.

She'll answer any technical questions and take orders.

Thanks very much, guys. Get home safe.

That's you, that's you.

You missed it.

Okay, it'll come around again.

We getting orders?

Yeah, Gid, we're getting orders.

KRT Petroleum is in for $65 million.

Good.

And ALTACO is in for 80.

80?

Still talking to the others.

Well, you seem thrilled.

Hmm.

You're pissed at me.

Hmm.

What you pulled back there?

You said that you were gonna put on a small display.

You didn't say anything about starting World War III.

Oh, my God, you got to...

you got to surprise 'em,

you got to show 'em, not just talk at them.

You know what else we're getting

besides orders? Letters.

From lawyers who are pissed

because we scared the hell

out of their clients.

You're not pissed 'cause of a few lawyers.

What is it? What is it?

It's the same thing every time. You get all excited

about some new technology, you put on a big show,

- and I get to clean up the mess. - You know what?

I'm sorry for inventing an amazing drone.

Next time I'll do something

really boring for you, all right?

Hmm.

Adam, could we pull off up here, please?

Hmm?

Well, I... I need a smoke.

What, in this area?

Also, you quit.

I'm punishing myself. I'm poisoning myself

for being a bad person.

Right.

Ah...

- Hey. - Hi.

Uh...

- pack of Reds, please. - Sure.

...quickly over to the right,

dribbling up to the side corner, where...

Keep the change.

And the pack.

Uh, lighters.

- Over there. - Yeah.

The money.

Now!

I said now!

The safe.

I‐I can't open the safe.

- Don't play games, man. - I'm not playing games.

No games.

911. Hold, please.

Hold?

There's an armed robbery.

The operator will be with you shortly.

What are you doing?

Huh?!

911? You call the cops?

Hey! Stay there, man!

Don't move!

Whoa, stay there.

Whoa, listen, listen...

Don't move, man!

Wait.

It's, like, a grand.

Just...

just go.

You got to be worth a lot more than that, man.

Whoa! Whoa, Sully, Sully!

Okay.

Oh. All right.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

911. What's your emergency?

Sir?

I need you to tell me what is going...

Uh, yeah.

I need help. My friend has been shot.

Where the hell are you people?

Is there anything else you remember?

Maybe something you mentioned to the 911 dispatch...

Yeah, she put me on hold.

Right. You mentioned that.

Uh, I'll be honest, Mr. Reeves.

I'm sorry, but there's not much

we can do with this.

What about surveillance cameras? Hairs?

Fingerprints?

Don't you have a team that you can, like...

- Forensics? - call in?

You got to go uptown for that.

Look... we did a check...

there wasn't much. And even if there was,

it takes eight months...

How the hell am I supposed to pick him up without a warrant?

- I think that wraps us up. - I told you!

- I faxed it over! - Need you to sign, please.

Just got to make some copies.

Hames transferred out this morning.

Guess you're running solo now, kid.

Hey.

You all right there?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You know, that was my beat.

That area around the liquor store.

I heard what happened.

Well...

looks like the investigation's off to a great start.

Karnes got downsized

in the budget cuts.

He's gone by the 15th.

Oh, that explains things.

Somehow I sensed I wasn't getting his A game.

Yeah, when you play with no equipment

and no one in the stands,

you tend to lose your A game pretty quick.

It's, uh, it's no excuse.

I'm sorry about your friend.

And we anticipate building 500 more units

by fall of 2018.

Thank you.

The executive committee will take a look and discuss it

at the next full council meeting. Thank you.

- Thank you, Mayor. - Next up,

we have a bit of a celebrity.

Mr. Gideon Reeves

of Reeves Industries.

He'll be making a presentation for us.

- Welcome, Mr. Reeves. - Thank you,

- Mr. Mayor. - Oh, before you begin,

may I say how sorry I was to have heard

of the tragedy, and I would like...

You want to personally extend your deepest condolences.

Oh, boy, I've heard that speech so many times,

I know it by heart.

Here's what I haven't heard is...
