- Sh*t.

- Sh*t.

Stop! Hey, you there, stop!

You're in a lot of trouble, Officer.

Come on.

I was assured full cooperation

by this precinct.

If it gets screwed up by your grunts,

I'll have your job.

- What's the update?

- It's hard to be 100%.

This system wasn't designed

for a somatic response.

He had a dream. A dream.

- This cop saw fit to question him.

- I didn't question him.

- I asked him his name. He didn't know.

- Oh, great.

Let me make it real clear for you.

He doesn't have a name.

He's got a program. He's product.

- Is that clear?

- Sure.

- I say pull him in, run a systems check.

- Take a week.

You wanna take him off line because

he had a dream? Are you kidding?

Let's get out of here.

Listen, Reed. Try to keep

one thing in mind.

This project doesn't concern cops.

It's classified. It's OCP.

Got it, mister?

- Yeah, I got it.

- Good.

Sorry, Sarge. I f***ed up.

Forget it, kid.

This guy's a serious a**hole.

Give me all your money, bookworm,

or I blow your brains out.

Now fill it up on number seven.

Don't do nothin' stupid, man.

I'm a good shot.

I could hit you in the eye from here.

Hey, man? What you readin' in there?

You a college boy or somethin'? Huh?

I bet you think you're pretty smart, huh?

Think you could outsmart a bullet?

What do you say we find out? Huh?

I'm talkin' to you!

What do you say? Huh? Huh?

I'm talkin' to you!

Drop it.

Dead or alive, you are coming with me.

I know you.

You're dead.

We killed you.

We killed you!

We killed you!

You're dead. We killed you.

Who are you?

Who are you?

- Can I help you, sir?

- No.

What is it exactly that you want?

Hey! You can't enter here.

Wait a second. Hey, just a minute.

This is a restricted area.

Murphy. It's you.

Murphy. It's you.

Murphy. It's you.

Welcome. shopper. Let's take

a stroll through your new home.

This is a one-family house. situated

near schools and shopping centres.

This progressive development

has a growth factor of seven.

Wow!

Can you do that, Dad?

It doesn't matter

who cooks in your family.

because this kitchen by Food Concepts

makes everything...

Dad.

Come on, Dad. Come on, Dad.

I really have to tell you something.

I love you.

Hey. have you thought it all over?

Why not make me an offer?

Where is Clarence Boddicker?

OK.

Let's talk.

You son of a b*tch.

There's just something

about the way it sounds.

"Vice president."

It just turns me on.

God, you girls are so great.

I love to be with intelligent women.

Smart is so sexy.

I know. Sometimes I could

just think of something,

and it could just get me so horny.

Yeah, well, a mind

is a terrible thing to waste.

I get bored so easily.

Yeah. And you need

lots of stimulation, Bobby.

Yes, I do.

- Don't move.

- I won't.

- Bob...

- What?

- Bob, save some for me.

- Don't worry.

Must be the champagne. Stay here.

How ya doin'?

B*tches, leave.

Gee, Bobby. Bye.

You gonna call me?

What the f*** are you doing?

Do you know who I am? If you think

you're gonna get away with this...

Goddamn it!

Stop! I'll give you anything you want!

Just please don't kill me, all right?

Hello. buddy boy. Dick Jones here.

I guess you're on your knees about now.

begging for your life.

Pathetic. You don't feel

so cocky now. do you. Bob?

Whatever he's payin' you,

I'll double it right now.

You know what the tragedy is here. Bob?

We could have been friends.

But you wouldn't go through

proper channels.

You went over my head.

That hurt.

But life goes on. It's an old story.

the fight for love and glory. huh. Bob?

It helps if you think of it as a game. Bob.

Every game has a winner... and a loser.

I'm cashing you out. Bob.

I don't wanna pay that, Sal.

I don't give a sh*t what you wanna pay.

I set the prices here.

Listen, pal. Maybe you haven't heard.

I'm the guy in Old Detroit.

You want space in my marketplace?

You're gonna have to give me

a volume discount.

I'm not into discounts.

Joe, show the man what

we brought him for Christmas.

Think about it, chum.

Good business is where you find it.

OK, let me try to

put this in perspective.

You killed a bunch of cops.

The word is you've got a lot

of heavy connections downtown,

and you make a lot of

my friends nervous.

A lot of people

would love to see a guy like me

and a guy like you out of business.

I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe I'm just not making myself clear.

I don't wanna f*** with you, Sal.

But I got the connections.

I got the sales organisation.

I got the muscle to shove enough of

this factory so far up your stupid wop ass

that you'll sh*t snow for a year.

Frankie, blow this cocksucker's head off.

Ooh, guns, guns, guns.

Come on, Sal!

The Tigers are playin'... tonight.

I never miss a game.

Just kidding.

Go!

Go.

Come quietly or there will be trouble.

Oh, f*** you.

Clarence Boddicker,

you are under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

F*** you.

Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute!

I'm protected.

I've got protection!

- You have the right to an attorney.

- What is this sh*t?

Goddamn it. Goddamn it!

Listen to me!

Listen to me, you f***!

There's another guy.

He's OCP. He's the senior president.

Anything you say

may be used against you.

It's Dick Jones!

Don't you get it, you cocksucker?

I work for Dick Jones!

Dick Jones!

He's the number two guy at OCP.

OCP runs the cops.

You're a cop.

Cop.

Yes, I am a cop.

- I don't like it either, but listen...

- You listen to me, you a**hole!

You're talking about shutting down

a major metropolitan police force!

Without cops, this city

would tear itself apart!

The union thinks you should know

we had a strike vote.

- We lost five guys last week.

- We're gettin' creamed out there.

- Book him.

- What's the charge?

He's a cop killer.

Sh*t.

Just give me my f***in' phone call.

I understand. The lawyers'll

have you out in 24 hours.

Just don't say anything else.

Jesus, you really screwed up.

Don't you get it?

I work for Dick Jones!

Dick Jones!

I work for Dick Jones!

He runs OCP.

OCP runs the cops.

Come in, Officer. I don't usually

see anyone without an appointment.

- In your case, I'll make an exception.

- You are under arrest.

- On what charge?

- Aiding and abetting a known felon.

Sounds like I'm in a lot of trouble.

- You'd better take me in.

- I will.

What's the matter, Officer?

I'll tell you what's the matter.

It's a little insurance policy

called Directive 4.

My little contribution

to your psychological profile.

Any attempt to arrest a senior officer

of OCP results in shutdown.

What did you think?

That you were an ordinary police officer?

You're our product. And we can't have

our products turning against us, can we?

Still a little fight left in you.

Maybe you'd like to meet a friend of mine.

I had to kill Bob Morton

because he made a mistake.

Now it's time to erase that mistake.

Put Lieutenant Hedgecock on the line.

There's trouble in the tower.

Prepare to fire.
