RoboCop Page #5

Synopsis: The year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years - and it's meant billions for OmniCorp's bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit - is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

plus an archive of CCTV footage

from 2011 to the present.

All right.

Hit me.

Okay. Kim,

it's all yours.

Archive footage

uploading successfully.

Your system draws

connections automatically.

It will link perpetrators

to their crimes

and give you their exact

locations whenever available.

I got evidence

to make 138... No, no.

166 arrests.

His emotions are stable.

This is incredible.

You will notice his family

is here in the building as well.

The mayor is standing

onstage behind me.

Also, Raymond Sellars

from Omnicorp.

They seem like great friends

obviously echoing the partnership

that they've brought together.

How much longer

will this take?

Well, the feed from the

database is almost clone, so.

We're approaching

present day.

634 pending arrests.

We're gonna need

a bigger prison.

He's on top of her.

Dr. Norton,

he's getting too emotional.

I gotta do something!

Alex.

Alex, calm down.

Take a breath.

Relax.

Kim, what are the readings?

I haven't seen him

at levels like this.

- He's gonna shoot 'em!

- Alex!

Alex, Alex, relax.

Relax.

Alex?

What is this?

This just a computer glitch?

No. That's

his own crime scene.

Alex!

He's spiking

all over the place.

Alex!

The system

is crashing, Doctor.

Alex, can you hear me?

Alex! Alex!

I'm not sure he can handle this.

I gotta do something!

He's emotionally overloaded.

Unlock me!

Alex! Stop!

Stop! He's having a seizure!

Kim, shut him down! Alex!

Get me a live feed!

I can't do it.

Dr. Norton's with the patient.

Do it now!

Jesus Christ!

Dr. Norton! Dr. Norton!

What?

The press is waiting!

We have to

get him up there now!

What do you

want me to do?

I don't know! Fix him!

Do what you have to do!

Your reputation is on the line

every bit as much as ours.

We're running out of time.

Okay.

Everybody out!

Out!

Mayor Durant is

about to take to the stage

and introduce Detroit's newest

weapon in the war on crime.

I'm actually getting word that

he's ready to go right now.

Heart rate rising. He

might start spiking, Doctor.

Set modules to absorb

dopamine and noradrenalin.

But you will be

taking away his emotions.

Drop the levels

until I tell you to stop.

Doctor, you'll be taking away

his ability to feel anything.

Now, please!

Pull the footage.

Put it on a loop.

Dopamine level's at 20%.

More.

Dopamine

level's at 10%.

More.

Dopamine level's at 5%.

Lower.

You're flattening him out.

Lower!

2%.

Hold it there.

Alex?

Alex, how do you feel?

I feel fine, Dr. Norton.

Well, today I'm not here to

talk about crime prevention.

I am here

to give you the cure.

That's right!

Hi, Dad!

Dad?

Ladies and gentlemen,

the revolution begins right now

with Detective Alex Murphy!

Detective.

- What's he doing?

- He looks like a zombie.

I think he's

accessing criminal data.

Thomas King!

You are under arrest!

Until today, Thomas King

was a convicted felon

wanted for rape, arson,

and murder.

This man has torn

apart American families.

On the loose for six years.

And where was this

criminal mastermind hiding?

Right in front of

the police headquarters.

Here he is, just steps away

from two of Detroit's finest.

These two officers

are completely unaware

of the monster

in their midst.

And then, in 60 seconds...

I repeat, just 60 seconds,

Detective Murphy

brings him down.

If you cannot afford an attorney,

one will be provided for you.

This, my friends, is the

future of American justice.

How many like Thomas King

will pay for their crimes

now that RoboCop is here?

Yes,

let's not shy away

from what this means, people.

Men weren't up to the task.

But Alex Murphy,

a robot cop,

was.

We can't take him

off the street.

This is what I'm saying.

He's a hit.

A big, fat, stinking hit.

Yeah, until he breaks down

in front of everyone.

Hey, we all knew there would be issues.

It's inevitable.

Dennett, you're my guy. I just

need you to get a handle on this.

I know,

but I need more time.

Scientifically,

we're in uncharted water.

We need to take him

backtothelab and do more tests.

I mean, it was like something was

interfering with our system.

Something beyond

chemistry or physics.

Like what? His soul?

Hey, look, this train has

already left the station.

I can't exactly go out

to the world and say,

"Sorry, I released

a defective product."

So, no matter what we do, we just

need to keep him on the streets.

What about the interviews?

Cancel 'em.

Cancel all of 'em.

Everything.

In fact, Dennett.

Let's keep the wife at a

distance for now, as well.

I'd like to see him.

Can you arrange that?

Look, I won't lie to you.

Alex was so nervous,

we had to sedate him.

I looked in his eyes and

I couldn't see my husband.

And then he just shoots a man in front

of our son. That's not sedation.

He's responding

to drugs differently now.

We both knew from day one,

there would be complications.

Just give me

a little more time.

I promise,

you'll have your husband back.

This goes for every

squad in every department.

Detective Murphy will have full

access to all investigations.

Robberies,

narcotics, homicides.

If he requests

to take over a case,

the case will be

handed to him.

No arguments,

no complaints.

This is bullshit!

I said no complaints!

And I mean it. Now...

Good morning, Chief Dean.

Good morning, officers.

I've selected 13 targets for

today, all wanted for murder.

John Biggs

is target number one.

I'll be

taking over this case.

Ambulances, detention

vehicles, and coroners

should be ready to

move in on my request.

I wish you all

a very good day.

Murphy.

You okay, man?

I'm fine, Sergeant.

Can't wait to

get back to work.

Lake and Daniels are in there

shittin' their pants...

Excuse me,

I have casework.

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Walter Karrel,

look at me.

You have two options.

Option one.

I shoot you with 50,000 volts

which may cause respiratory

failure, organ malfunction,

internal burns, and loss of

bowel and bladder control.

And then I arrest you.

Option two.

You tell me where

John Biggs' drug

lab is located.

And then I arrest you.

You have

two seconds to decide.

Totally justifiable.

We are going to make

a lot of money.

Nothing. No fear.

No increase in heart rate.

No traces of anger

whatsoever.

Congratulations, Doctor.

You did it.

Yes, I did.

I told you, sir.

Norton clearly never had

control of the product.

I agree. And that's

why I called you here.

I just want a second pair of

eyes on this thing, that's all.

Okay.

I'll need a feed

from the Tin Man's head

plus full surveillance of the lab, and...

You're gonna have

full access to everything.

If anything comes up,

I'm gonna be in Washington.

He brought peace

to this country's

most violent city.

He showed us all

that Detroit and America

can have a brighter future.

A future of economic growth,

freedom, and happiness.

On tonight's show,

a visionary and true patriot.
