RoboCop Page #4

Well, there you have it. 5.6

seconds behind. Scenario failure.

I wouldn't buy that

for a dollar.

Let's do it again.

Your funeral.

Detective Alex Murphy.

Search results.

"Detective Murphy

making a speedy recovery."

"Alex Murphy.

Man or Machine?"

"Thrust into the spotlight,

Clara Murphy won't talk."

Antoine Vallon.

Search results.

"DPD says Antoine Val/on no longer

suspect due to lack of evidence."

Detroit Free Press.

Unfortunately, Murphy's

investigation into Antoine Vallon

wasn't authorized

in the first place.

Look, Detective Murphy was

simply overzealous, okay?

We have absolutely no evidence linking

Vallon to the attempt on his life.

All I'm gonna say is

my partner's a great cop.

And I won't rest until the men who tried

to kill him are brought to justice.

What's wrong with him?

No, nothing, nothing.

Watch the procedural bars

on the 208.

The machine assesses

the threat and acts.

That's it.

It's two steps.

Now watch Alex.

The software assesses the

threat, just like the robot.

And it sends the information

to the brain.

Alex's brain receives the information

and decides what to do with it

based on his emotional cognitive

abilities like any man would.

Then the brain relates this

to the Al module and...

Yeah, like, you know,

a year later.

And our computers

finish the job.

Raymond, you wanted

a man inside a machine.

And that's what you've got.

But the human element

will always be present.

Fear, instinct,

bias, compassion,

they will always interfere

with the system!

Okay, but, Dennett,

I've gotta give the American people

something they can root for.

Something aspirational, right?

They have to

believe in this thing.

"Pretty good"? I don't

know how to sell "okay."

We, you and I,

have got a release date,

and we've gotta

make it, okay?

So I don't care how you do it. I'm

askin' ya, come on, can you help me?

Just get him to do that.

Get him to do that.

That is a machine.

I know, but it's a man

inside a machine.

No, that's a man

inside a machine right there!

And his life depends on it.

And the future of Omnicorp

depends on it

so get your ass back to China

and get it fixed.

I don't care how you do it,

just go do it!

It tastes like

peanut butter.

I can't get it

out of my mouth.

And you

don't like peanut butter?

No.

You like peanut butter, Kim?

I love it.

Okay.

I'm gonna put you

to sleep now, Alex.

Okay.

Now, put him under, Kim.

What are you planning to do?

Consciousness

is nothing more

than the processing

of information.

I'm gonna fix him.

And he won't

know the difference.

Raymond?

Yeah?

We just ran focus groups

at Ryan Correctional Facility.

We call this Combat Mode.

It really put the fear of God

into the prisoners.

Yeah, that's okay.

And get a load of this.

What's that? He transforms.

Kids love it.

Really? Focus group

numbers through the roof.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Well, that's really

embarrassing.

What is this?

You know what?

People really don't know

what they want

until you show it to 'em

most of the time.

Make him more, uh,

tactical.

Make him look, uh...

Let's go with black.

Yeah.

Alex.

He looks

like a billion dollars.

2.6 billion.

Raymond Sellars.

I've looked forward to

meeting you, Detective.

I really appreciate everything

you've done for me.

Well, we funded

this program

to give men like you

a second chance.

You just do

your best today.

Shall we?

Let's.

Mr. Sellars, we're ready for you.

Okay, great.

Chief Technician Shuman.

Mornin', folks.

Okay, so

this is how it's gonna be.

We're goin' toe-to-toe.

Last man standing wins.

I hit you, you go back

to the drawing board.

You hit me,

you get a ticket back home.

My guys are gonna be

shootin' .47 caliber rounds.

Do a little damage,

but they can't take you out.

But make no mistake,

Tin Man, my gun will.

Alex, listen to me.

The EM-208s will

try to maneuver you

so Mattox can

get a clear shot.

Do not let that happen.

If Mattox hits you, everything but

your life support will shut down.

You'll feel more pain than

you've ever felt in your life.

I don't know about that.

I've been through a lot.

All right.

I say we go on three.

Three.

How's it going down there?

Whatever you do,

don't get shot in the face.

Wow.

Dr. Norton,

how is he doing this?

His software is faster.

His hardware is stronger.

He's a better machine.

But you said

humans hesitate.

Only when they're

making decisions.

He's not

making decisions?

Yes and no.

In his everyday life,

man rules over the machine.

Alex makes his own decisions.

Now, when he

engages in battle,

the visor comes down

and the software takes over.

Then the machine

does everything.

Alex is a passenger,

just along for the ride.

But if the machine

is in control,

then how is Murphy

accountable?

Who's pulling the trigger?

Well, when

the machine fights,

the system releases signals

into Alex's brain

making him think he's doing what

our computers are actually doing.

I mean, Alex believes right

now he is in control.

But he's not. It's the

illusion of free will.

Crap!

So you've circumvented the law by creating

a machine that thinks it's a man.

But that's illegal.

No. No, no, no.

It's a machine that thinks

it's Alex Murphy.

And in my book

that's legal.

Well done.

Well done.

Hey, Doctor, what happens if I tase an

exoskeleton with a little a**hole inside?

I, uh, I think we're all

curious to find out.

Go ahead.

If I had a pulse,

it'd be racing.

She's been waiting

four months.

I'm sure hers is, too.

You're gonna do fine.

I love your sign, D.

Hey.

There's nothin' to be

nervous about.

Thank you, Bennett.

It's been a privilege.

Hi, Dad.

You know

I missed you, buddy.

Me, too.

Wanna feel it?

What is it?

It's okay, sweetie.

I saved all the Red Wings

games on my computer.

You did?

How'd they do?

I don't know.

I've been waiting

to watch them with you.

You know I'd love to, kiddo.

But I can't tonight.

You know, 'cause Daddy's

suit needs some...

Some special handling.

Do you understand?

Thanks for coming, Jack.

I heard you

went home already.

I know Clara must be

thrilled to have you back.

I saw Clara

and David.

That ain't my home right now.

It's in a damn lab

across the hall.

I'm sorry, Alex.

Startin' tomorrow, I'm gonna take

down Vallon and his whole damn crew.

I was waitin'

to hear you say that.

Least I know

you're the right color now.

Pat, the cooler

temperatures here today

certainly have not stopped

people from showing up.

We're expecting people

from every corner of the city

here in Detroit

to come out and

show their support

for Detective Alex Murphy.

You know, a lot of questions on people's

minds today is what will he look like.

Is he a changed man?

Rumor has it

he is in the building

preparing to come out...

Alex, we're gonna upload the entire

DPD database into your brain.

That means you'll have instantaneous

access to criminal records
