Your "setback" could cost us

$50 million in interest payments alone.

Not necessarily. Perhaps you know

of the RoboCop programme,

developed by myself at Security Concepts

as a contingency against this?

- Thank you, Mr Morton. I'm sure this...

- Now wait a minute.

Dick!

Maybe what we need here

is a fresh perspective.

Tell me about your plan.

How long will it take?

We're ready to go. We've restructured the

police department with prime candidates.

I'm confident we can go

to prototype within 90 days.

Good. Get your staff together. I'll

expect a full presentation in 20 minutes.

Thank you, sir.

Yes! That's how it's done in the big

leagues. You see an opening and go for it.

Watch your back, Bob.

Jones is gonna come looking for you.

F*** Jones. He fumbled the ball

and I was there to pick it up.

Too bad about Kinney, huh?

That's life in the big city.

- When do we start?

- As soon as some schmuck volunteers.

Pretty fancy moves, Murphy.

Yeah, well, my son Jimmy

watches this cop show, TJ Lazer.

This Lazer does this when he takes down

a bad guy. So my kid thinks a good cop...

And you don't wanna disappoint him.

Yeah, well, role models can

be very important to a boy.

OK, OK, I get a kick out of it.

All units. All units. Sector nine.

Well, that's...

Why don't you drive?

Suspects are armed

and considered dangerous.

Sh*t!

I don't believe it!

You burnt the f***in' money!

I had to blow the door!

What do you want?

It's as good as marked, you a**hole!

You stupid, stupid a**hole!

- Clarence!

- What do you want?

We got a cop on our tail.

- Come on, man. Speed it up.

- Move it!

- Hey, this crate won't outrun a cop's!

- Slow down, then.

- Are you crazy, man?

- Shut the f*** up and do it! Just do it!

Central, this is 154. We are in pursuit

of suspect. Request backup.

Roger. 154.

- Backup currently unavailable.

- Give me your piece.

Backup ETA. 15 minutes.

- Bobby, get the door. Everybody load up.

- All right, let's go. Come on!

- OK.

- All right, here we go.

Now!

- What the f***? Where did he go?

- Emil!

Here! He's up here!

Get 'em!

- Sh*t, Clarence. My leg.

- Leon, pick him up.

- Ready?

- No. Hang on.

Bobby.

- Can you fly, Bobby?

- Clarence, no.

Hit it!

No!

This is unit 154. We located that van

by the Old Mill in sector 3D.

- Where's that backup?

- Still unavailable.

- Oh, man!

- 20 minutes before units can arrive.

Well, you call it.

- Let's do it.

- OK.

Go.

Stay in touch.

Freeze.

OK, let's see those hands. Nice and easy.

Sure. Mind if I...

zip this up?

- We rob banks but never keep the money.

- Takes money to make money.

We steal money to buy coke, then sell

the coke to make even more money.

- Capital investment.

- Why bother making it? Let's just steal it.

Best way to steal money

is free enterprise.

- Smoke?

- No. You know, those things'll kill ya.

Yeah.

Do you wanna live for ever?

Hey. Don't move.

Go ahead and do it.

Dead or alive, you're coming with me.

Lewis? Lewis!

Lewis, I got a situation here.

OK, tough guy, get up. Turn around.

Spread your legs. That's right.

Lewis. where are you? You all right?

Put your hands on your head.

Lewis?

Why don't you let us

take over from here, Emil?

- Your ass is mine.

- No.

Not yet it ain't.

Well, what have we here?

You a good cop, hotshot?

Sure you are.

Why, you gotta be some kinda great cop.

Come in here all by yourself.

Where's your partner?

Where's your partner?

Well, guys. The other one was upstairs.

She was sweet.

I took her out.

I bet that really pisses you off.

You probably don't think

I'm a very nice guy. Do you?

Buddy, I think you're slime.

See, I got this problem.

Cops don't like me.

So I don't like cops.

Well, give the man a hand.

He's all yours.

- All right, look out.

- Turn around, man.

Hey, brave boy! Hey, over here!

- I'm outta ammo.

- Me too.

Hey, Clarence, he's still alive.

Does it hurt? Does it hurt?

OK. Fun's over.

OK, let's get outta here.

Good night, sweet prince.

Hey, wait up, wait up, wait up.

Murphy.

Let's get him over here.

- The ventilator. Get the mask.

- Get him into OR4.

Easy, easy.

Slow down now. Slow down.

OK, get the door.

- Let me get pressure.

- Good. Mask him.

Got a pressure of 60 Pel.

We're gonna have to intubate this guy.

OK. We got it in. Breath sounds?

- You're in.

- Other side.

- OK. Let's get the MAST trousers out.

- Get the clothes off.

Prep him for a central line.

Let's get some blood drawn.

Type and crossing, six units.

- His pressure's dropping.

- OK.

I've got a central line in.

Get the pressure back.

Can you do that, Dad?

I really have to tell you something.

I've got 40 Pel.

- Michelle, we're flat here.

- V-fib.

OK, we gotta shock him.

Let's go ahead and

blow up the MAST trousers.

Stand clear.

Coarse V-fib. Let's shock him again.

Clear.

- Flatline.

- Let's go. Intracardiac epinephrine.

- Let's go.

- OK.

- All right, it's in.

- There's no pulse.

All right. Let's shock

the flatline, then let's quit.

Everybody, clear!

All right, I think that's all we can do.

Let's call it. What's the time?

- It's sharp.

- Yeah, it's startin' to roll.

Ah... sh*t!

Bring in the LED.

Lock it down.

- He's on.

- What's the story?

We were able to save the left arm.

What? I thought we agreed on total

body prosthesis. Lose the arm, OK?

Jesus, Morton.

- Can he understand me?

- Doesn't matter. We'll blank his memory.

I think we should lose the arm.

What do you think?

He signed release forms when

he joined the force. He's legally dead.

We can do pretty much what we want to.

Lose the arm.

Shut him down. Prep him for surgery.

The entire outer skin will be like this.

It's titanium, laminated with Kevlar.

Go ahead. Shake his hand.

Do you come here often?

Ow! God! He's got a helluva grip.

It's 400 foot-pounds.

He could crush every bone in your hand.

All right, attach it to his shoulder.

I like that.

You are gonna be a bad motherf***er.

Hey, look! Look! He's watching us!

Hi! Happy New Year.

This is for you.

Happy New Year.

We get the best of both worlds. The

fastest reflexes technology has to offer.

Computer-assisted memory.

A lifetime of on-the-street

law-enforcement programming.

It is my great pleasure to present to you...

RoboCop.

Come on, come on.

It's for you.

Go, Robo.

I'm what you call a repeat offender.

I repeat, I will offend again.

I get my orders from a higher source.

Shut up, a**hole.

- Bring him in through the side door.

- A cell has been set up for us.

- What's goin' on here?

- Who is this guy?

- Sergeant Reed.

- What's this about?

It's about official OCP business.

So please, get lost.

- We've got four or five days...

- This is bullshit!

I take my orders from...

What is this sh*t?

When you are at rest,

you will sit in the chair.

Yes, I understand.

- What about tracking?

- We check his location with one of these.

- How does he eat?

- His digestive system is very simple.
