RoboCop Page #6

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.

The CEO of Omnicorp,

Raymond Sellars.

Hello, Pat.

Raymond.

Thanks for havin' me.

You must be doing

a victory lap about now.

Well.

Two weeks ago, Omni's stock

went through the roof.

And the Senate

has finally agreed

to vote on the repeal

of the Dreyfus Act.

Well, look, I mean, the

tide is definitely turning.

I just feel certain that soon we'll

be keeping all Americans safe.

I certainly hope so.

But, I think our next guest will

have a different point of view.

Mmm-hmm.

Hubert Dreyfus.

Senator,

thank you for joining us.

Hello, Pat.

Mr. Sellars.

Senator, do you know

what this is?

The American public

is divided

on the Dreyfus Act.

Our polls at Novakelement.com

are tight at 50-50.

There is no doubt

Omnicorp created a sensation

but this bill is

not about Alex Murphy.

It's about whether America's

willing to give robots

the authority

over human lives.

No. Look, look, look.

This sea change

we're witnessing,

and it is a sea change,

shows that Americans

don't really care

if our law enforcement systems

are manned or unmanned.

What they care about is efficiency

and they care about safety.

You're clouding the issue.

This is clearly an attempt

to sway public opinion

with a marketing stunt.

What's clear is

that with just one system in

place, we've cut crime by 80%.

Just imagine if we put,

I dunno, let's say

100 systems in place.

And then,

I want you to ask yourself,

why are you holding us back?

Is that your plan?

Thank you, Senator.

And thank you, Raymond.

Thank you, Pat.

Well, there you have it.

Who could argue with that?

Which begs the question.

Has the US Senate

become pro-crime?

Yeah, hi.

No,no,5000.

Call me tomorrow.

Hey, guys. Vallon's

waitin' for you inside.

What, you too busy

to walk us in?

I'm out here makin' money.

Where are my trip wires?

I gotta do this myself?

What the hell is all this sh*t?

I can't move any product

with this thing

on the streets.

What are you doing

to protect me?

Relax. The guy's

a walkin' zombie.

And tell me

your phones are off.

He's not going after you.

We covered our tracks.

He can't manufacture

evidence outta thin air.

If he does,

I'm ready for him.

Well?

I've been getting calls.

From whom?

Well, Clara.

You need to let her see her husband.

She has rights.

That's not your decision.

That's Legal's call.

Yeah, but it's only

a question of time

before she turns up

on television.

Well, she can try.

I'll issue a gag order before

I let her see her husband.

I'd hop to it.

Alex. Alex!

Alex. You need to come home.

Clara, please stand aside.

You need to speak

to your son.

Right now, I see three

crimes in progress.

Alex, listen to me.

I know you're in there.

David won't show

his face at school.

He's having nightmares.

He's falling apart.

lam falling apart.

Please.

I can't do this on my own.

He's been scared

ever since that night.

What do you think

she's gonna do?

What's he gonna do?

Are you okay?

David? David.

Stand back.

Come on, stand back!

He's supposed to be

watching this.

Instead, he's accessing images of

Clara and David arriving at school.

Over and over again.

Somehow, he's overriding

the system's priorities.

- Do you want me to shut him down?

- No.

Not yet.

I wanna see what happens.

What's he doing

at his house?

Look, he's disobeying

protocol.

You have to shut him down.

As far as I can tell,

he's still doing his job.

Adrian, give me

an image of his brain.

He's undoing

what we did to him.

His dopamine levels

are coming back to normal.

How is that

even possible?

I haven't the faintest idea.

Alex.

Alex, please return

to the station.

I wanna run some tests.

Well, this should

be interesting.

And your phone

on the table!

We're not cops, all right?

We work for Antoine Vallon.

- Whoa!

- What'd you say?

We work for Antoine Vallon.

My hand, man!

Where's Antoine Vallon?

You broke my hand, man!

I know you

remember me, Jerry.

Where's Vallon?

Wait a minute.

If I tell you where Vallon is,

he'll kill my wife and kid, man.

Your wife left you in 2019 after

filing charges for domestic abuse.

And you don't have a kid.

Butldo.

I'm not askin' again!

Look, I swear, man. I don't

know where Vallon is, okay?

The only guy I talk to is his driver

Marcus. That's it, man. That's it!

Does he have a phone number?

We have a problem.

Alex is breaking protocol.

What's he doing?

He's off solving

his own murder.

Oh, that is genius.

Why didn't I think Of that?

How long

till he gets here?

Five minutes.

All right.

Johnny, you stay

on these monitors.

What happened?

Some idiot used

an unencrypted phone.

Sh*t.

All right, everyone,

listen up!

He's coming.

He leaves alive, you don't.

How do we stop him?

.50 caliber and above.

Aim for the head.

This one's set.

Let's go. Go!

All right, move! Let's go!

Come on. Come on!

Ready to go!

They're all set.

Finish it!

You freak, die!

Watch out.

Need me

to call a doctor?

Come on, Jack.

You're gonna like this.

What the hell

you doin' here?

Y'all gonna play

good cop, bad cop?

Nah, Daniels.

Bad cop, RoboCop.

I've recovered 26

guns from Vallon's warehouse.

Thirteen serial numbers match

weapons missing from Evidence.

And I got your prints

all over 'em.

This is bullshit.

I also

have CCTV footage

of you and Vallon the same

day he tried to kill me.

So put him on the payroll.

Why we talkin' about this?

It won't work. Now that his partner

got hit, he's never gonna let it go.

- What is that?

- Lewis' hospital.

Murphy's dropping by

this afternoon.

I kill a cop, I'm lookin'

over my shoulder...

You know what they do

to cops in prison, man?

Being locked up with the

same dudes you put in there?

How long you think

before he gives you up?

Don't shoot me. Okay?

I swear to Christ.

It was Dean.

She helped pull those guns.

Just don't shoot me.

Thank you

for your cooperation.

You can cuff him now, Jack.

Now I know why we

couldn't get an arrest.

'Cause Vallon was protected

from up on high.

Alex, I can explain.

You tipped

him off today.

Come on, man.

Don't do this.

You tried to kill me twice.

I trusted you.

And you destroyed my family.

Confess.

Now, in front of everyone.

Confess!

What happened?

Tin Man is down.

Had to be done.

Why?

Product shot a corrupt cop.

Two more seconds,

the chief's brains

would've been splattered

across the 6:
00 news.

We got anything on her?

Well, she's the Chief of

the Detroit Police Department.

What do you think?

You know what?

This might actually tip this

thing right into the net.

Alex, I don't

know if you can hear me.

But tonight,

you uncovered a nest of vipers

inside

the Detroit Police Department.

And in so doing, you shed

light on an invaluable truth.

Even the police,

the men and women

who swore to keep us safe,

they can be bribed.

They can be bought.

Machines, however,

are corruption free.

Americans could be

living in a country
