RoboCop Page #2

No signatures.

What do you got?

Nothin'.

How do you think

that happened?

I'm telling you, Murphy,

this is a mistake.

These guys'll shoot you just

to see if they gun work.

We need backup.

If we call for backup, word's

gonna get around the station.

He's gonna disappear.

It's gonna be all right.

MURPHY". So we told Vallon

we were gun buyers,

and he bought it.

What do you two need with that

much product? You plotting a coup?

Man, don't trip, we ain't gonna

bust a single shot in your town.

We got some problems

back home with Chicago PD.

Yeah, I heard

you don't like cops.

Hey, boss.

What do you got for me?

Really?

We were just about to close

the deal but someone tipped him off.

Gentlemen,

I gotta deal with this.

Two minutes.

Make sure

you kill 'em both!

I got two handguns,

one automatic.

We gotta get out of here.

I'm gonna take the automatic.

You sure about this?

You ready?

Move.

Lewis!

Lewis!

Officer down!

Officer down, 331 Hamilton.

This is Detective Alex Murphy

in need of immediate

medical assistance.

331 Hamilton Road.

Jack.

Jack, come on.

Jack. Can you hear me?

Jack. Stay with me.

Jack.

Alex, you don't

do something like this

unless you bring it

to me first.

Vallon's connected.

I'm warning you, don't make any

more moves until I vet this.

If officers are

supplying him with guns...

That's up to IAD.

I'll handle it.

I don't care how sophisticated

these machines are, Mr. Sellars.

A machine does not know what

it feels like to be human.

It can't understand

the value of human life.

Why should it be

allowed to take one?

To legislate

over life and death,

we need people who

understand right from wrong.

What do your machines feel?

Well, they feel no anger.

They feel no prejudice.

They feel no fatigue, which makes

them ideal for law enforcement.

Putting these machines

on the streets

will save countless

American lives.

You're evading the question.

No, I'm not.

Yes,

you're evading the question.

I asked what do

these machines feel?

If one of them

killed a child,

what would it feel?

Nothing.

And that's the problem.

That's why 72% of Americans will not

stand for a robot pulling the trigger.

America is the world's most

valuable market, and we can't touch it.

With a domestic expansion, we'd

clear $600 billion per annum.

In other words, every second that law is

in existence, we are hemorrhaging money.

What do you

want me to do?

We've thrown cash at senators at both

sides of the aisle. Nobody's budging.

They don't want to vote

against their constituents.

So unless we sway public

opinion, the battle's lost.

Now, to that effect,

my team have come up with a

pretty aggressive new campaign.

Wow factor

off-the-charts.

We need to give Americans

a product they can love.

A figure

they can rally behind.

Sir, I have dissected this bill.

There are no loopholes.

We can't put a machine

on the streets.

Forget machines.

You saw the polls.

Americans don't

want a machine.

They want

a product

with a conscience.

They want

something that knows

what it feels like

to be human.

We're gonna put a man

inside a machine.

You're not you because

of your legs, your arms, your hands.

You're you because

of your brain.

It's your brain's capacity to process

information that makes you who you are.

Relax, and just do

what you've always done.

I've never played

with these.

The music doesn't come from your fingers,

Michael, it comes from your mind.

All you have to do

is let it out.

Please.

Oh, my God.

No, it's okay. Easy.

His emotions are peaking. The

readings are getting clouded.

It's okay.

Relax. If you get

too emotional,

it'll change the chemistry

in your brain.

It'll throw the system out.

You're doing great.

Come on.

I need emotion to play.

Concierto de

Aranjuez, second movement.

Beautiful piece.

Bennett, when you

have a moment. Thank you.

Now, we agreed on this

a long time ago, Raymond.

I wouldn't be asked to

develop combat applications.

My work here is driven

by its own questions.

And your work is brilliant. But

your ideas are being underutilized.

Look, I think

I found a way

to put real revenue stream

behind your research

and save thousands

of lives in the process.

You're not

keeping up your end,

leaving me exposed

like that.

Detective Murphy's

just a little impulsive.

So put him

on the payroll.

Why are we talkin'

about this?

It won't work. And now that

his partner got hit,

he's never gonna let it go.

What is that?

Lewis' hospital.

Alex is dropping by

this afternoon,

in case you want

to send flowers.

Yeah.

I kill a cop,

lookin' over my shoulder

the rest of my life.

That's not good

for business.

Who do you think's

gonna be investigating you?

I'm gonna go hard

after Lake and Daniels.

I'm gonna have 'em in bracelets

within a month, man.

Hey, Vallon,

I'm walking up right now.

Cameras off?

Clear.

You were right.

We should've had backup.

I'm sorry.

You're not really sleeping,

are ya?

A**hole.

Sergeant Thomas Ryan, NYPD.

Paralyzed from the waist down.

He has let himself go a

little since the accident.

Pass.

Yeah. Yeah, fair enough.

Officer Alfred Miller,

Denver.

"Severe Cerebellar..."

Cerebellar ataxia.

That's why you're

the doctor, Doctor.

He scored through the roof

with our urban demos.

Let's keep this one

in mind. I like this guy.

Very good, sir.

I saved the best for last.

I give you Sergeant Jack

Freeman, masculinity incarnate.

Led Pittsburgh SWA for five years,

now confined

to a wheelchair.

I think I can

see the appeal.

NO.

What? Why?

Well,check the psych evaluation.

He's far too unstable.

He's trying to say

that he has a temper.

Have you any idea

what we'd be putting him through?

The psychological strain requires

someone emotionally balanced.

We have to be scientific.

I mean, we're not selling

a soft drink here, are we?

He's right. Okay.

Keep looking.

David, what did I say?

Not until you're finished.

Hey, guys.

Hi, Dad.

Hey.

Hey, little monkey.

How's the game, buddy?

Damon got ejected, but we

got a two-man advantage.

Oh, yeah?

That's fantastic.

Hey, D, why don't

you head upstairs

and start getting ready

for bed.

But he just got home.

I'll be up in a second.

Tuck you in, okay?

All right?

Now give your mom a kiss.

Good night, baby.

Too slow, boy.

You're just too slow.

How's Jack holding up?

They said a week

till he's back on his feet.

It's my fault.

We shouldn't even

have been there.

Here.

Oh, sh*t, I thought

I fixed that.

It'll stop.

It's gonna

wake up David.

He suffered 4th degree

burns over 80% of his body.

Lower spine

has been severed.

If he survives,

he'll be paralyzed from the waist

down and confined to a wheelchair.

Mrs. Murphy,

we don't have to do this.

I need to know everything

before I make a decision.

Please continue.

Vestibulocochlear,

optical nerves have

been critically damaged.

He'll be blind in one eye.
