This is Media-Break.
You give us three minutes and we'll give you the world.
Good morning, I'm Casey Wong with Jess Perkins.
Top story, Pretoria.
The threat of nuclear confrontation in South Africa escalated today...
...when the military government of that besieged city-state...
...unveiled a French-made neutron bomb...
...and affirmed that it would use it as the city's last line of defense.
The president's first press conference from the Star Wars Peace Platform...
...got off to a shaky start when power failed...
...causing a period of weightlessness for the president and his staff.
We'll be back in a moment.
Is it time for that operation?
This may be the most important decision of your life.
So come down and talk to one of our qualified surgeons...
...at the Family Heart Center.
We feature the complete line of hearts by Jensen and Yamaha.
You pick the heart.
Extended warranties. Financing.
Qualifies for health tax credit.
And remember, we care.
Three dead police officers, one critically injured.
Police leaders blame Omni Consumer Products, OCP...
...the firm which recently agreed with the city to fund and run...
...the Detroit Metro Police Department.
Dick Jones, president of OCP.
Every policeman knows there are inherent risks in his job.
If you can't stand the heat, you better stay out of the kitchen.
Although wounded, Officer Frederickson escaped and identified this man.
Clarence Boddicker, unofficial crime boss of Old Detroit...
...sought in connection with the deaths of 31 officers.
Today he is free while doctors at Henry Ford Hospital...
...fight to save Officer Frank Frederickson.
Good luck, Frank.
Attempted murder? It's not like he killed someone.
This violates my client's civil rights.
Make it assault and I can make bail in cash, now.
Listen, your client's a scumbag, you're a scumbag...
...and scumbags see the judge.
Now get out of my police station and take Laughing Boy with you.
Hi.
Murphy, transferring in from Metro South.
Nice precinct.
Yeah, pretty good.
You work for a living down here.
Get your armor and suit up.
- No, you can't get a cup of coffee. - Oh, sarge.
- Stark, any word on Frederickson? - Still listed as critical.
His wife must be going crazy.
- Murphy? - Yeah, that's me.
- Manson. - Hi.
What brings you to paradise?
I think the OCP's moving a lot of new guys here.
Omni Consumer Products. What a bunch of morons.
They're gonna manage this department right into the ground.
- Where you from? - Metro South.
Welcome to hell.
- Murphy? - Yo.
- Cut 10 guys loose on the east side. - Try to get up when you're in a jam.
Try to get a Medevac after you been jammed.
I'll tell you what we should do. We should strike.
The funeral is tomorrow.
Department requests all officers not on duty to attend.
Any donations for the family may be given to Cecil as usual.
I don't want to hear any more talk about strike.
We're not plumbers, we're police officers.
And police officers don't strike.
Murphy. Front and center.
Ooh, tiger!
Lewis, come here when you're finished fucking around with your suspect.
This guy's gonna be your new partner.
Murphy, meet Lewis. Show him the neighborhood.
Glad to know you, Murphy.
Pretty neat.
I better drive until you know your way around.
I usually drive when I'm breaking in a new partner.
You really think the old man will be there?
Why invite us?
All the division heads are bringing their support teams. It's big.
They're green lighting Delta City.
No way. They never move ahead of schedule.
Jones has the 209 series ready and wants to show off.
- Tough break, Bob. - What?
When ED 209 ran into serious delays...
...the old man ordered a backup plan.
95th floor, have a nice day.
Probably to light a fire under Jones' ass.
- Yeah. - Old Bob here gets the assignment.
Nobody in Security Concepts takes it seriously.
Fucking Jones, I'd go straight to the old man if I could.
Don't mess with Jones.
Be careful, man. I hear Jones is a real shark.
- Who asked you, twerp? - Bob.
What's the problem with the police?
Their union's been bitching ever since we took over. The usual stuff.
But we'll turn things around.
Good. Very good. Let's get started.
My friends.
I've had this dream for more than a decade now.
A dream which I've invited you all to share with me.
In six months we begin construction...
...of Delta City.
Where Old Detroit now stands.
Old Detroit has a cancer.
The cancer is crime.
It must be cut out before we employ the 2 million...
...workers to breathe life back into the city.
Yes.
Shifts in tax structure have made the economy ideal for corporate growth.
But community services, in this case law enforcement...
...have suffered.
I think it's time we gave something back.
Take a close look at the track record of this company.
You'll see that we've gambled...
...in markets usually regarded as nonprofit.
Hospitals. Prisons. Space exploration.
I say, good business is where you find it.
As you know, we now have a contract to run local law enforcement.
But at Security Concepts...
...we believe an efficient police force is only part of the solution.
No, we need something more.
We need a 24-hour-a-day police officer.
A cop who doesn't need to eat or sleep.
A cop with superior firepower and the reflexes to use it.
Fellow executives...
...it's a pleasure to introduce you to the future of law enforcement.
ED 209.
The Enforcement Droid series 209...
...is a self-sufficient law enforcement robot.
209 is programmed for urban pacification, but that's just a start.
After a successful tour in Old Detroit...
...we can expect 209 to become the hot military product for the next decade.
- Dr. McNamara. - We'll need a subject.
- Mr. Kinney. - Yes, sir.
- Will you give us a hand? - Yes, sir.
Mr. Kinney will help us simulate a typical arrest and disarming procedure.
Mr. Kinney, use your gun in a threatening manner.
- Point it at ED 209. - Yes, sir.
Please put down your weapon.
You have 20 seconds to comply.
I think you better do what he says.
You now have 15 seconds to comply.
You are in direct violation of penal code 113, section 9.
- You have five seconds to comply. - Help me!
- Four, three, two, one. - Help me! Help!
I am now authorized to use physical force.
Somebody want to call a paramedic?
- Let's go, Johnson. - You pull the plug on this thing?
All right, don't touch him.
- Don't touch him! - He didn't hear the gun drop.
He didn't hear it?!
Dick, I'm very disappointed.
It's only a glitch. A temporary setback.
You call this a glitch?
We're to begin construction in six months.
This setback could cost us millions in interest costs alone.
Not necessarily, sir.
There's a Robocop program...
...I developed as a contingency against just this sort of thing.
Thank you for your concern.
- This is something we could... - Wait a minute. Dick!
Maybe what we need here is a fresh perspective.
Tell me about your plan. How long will it take?
We've restructured the police department with some good candidates.
We can go to prototype within 90 days.
Very good.
Get your staff together. I'll expect a presentation in 20 minutes.
Thank you, sir.
That's how it is in the big leagues. You see an opening, you go for it.
Watch your back, Jones will be looking for you.
Fuck Jones. He fumbled the ball and I was there to pick it up.
Too bad about Kinney, huh?
That's life in the big city.
When do we start?
As soon as some schmuck volunteers.
Pretty fancy moves, Murphy.
My son watches this cop show, TJ Lazer.
Lazer does this whenever he kills a bad guy.
- My kid thinks every good cop... - You don't want to disappoint him.
Yeah, well, role models can be very important to a boy.
Okay, I get a kick out of it.
All units, sector nine...
Well, that's...
Why don't you drive?
Shit!
- I don't believe it! - What?
You burnt the fucking money!
I had to blow the door!
It's as good as marked, asshole.
You stupid, stupid asshole!
- Clarence! - What do you want?!
We got a cop on our tail.
- Come on, speed it up. - Move it!
- We ain't gonna outrun a cop. - Slow down.
- Are you crazy? - Shut the fuck up and do it!
Just do it!
This is 154. We're in pursuit of suspect. Request backup.
- Roger, 154. Backup unavailable. - Give me your piece.
Backup ETA, 15 minutes.
Bobby, get the door!
- Everybody load up! - Let's go, come on.
- Okay. - All right, here we go.
- What the fuck? - Where'd he go?
Emil!
He's up here!
Get him!
Shit, Clarence, my leg.
Leon, pick him up.
- Ready? - Nope, hang on.
Bobby.
- Can you fly, Bobby? - Clarence, no!
Hit it!
This is 154. We've located that van in sector 3D. Where's backup?
Backup unavailable. Estimate 20 minutes before units can arrive.
Well, you call it.
- Let's do it. - Okay.
Go.
Stay in touch.
Freeze.
Okay, let's see those hands.
Nice and easy.
Sure.
Mind if I zip this up?
We rob banks, but never get to keep the money.
We steal money to buy coke, then sell the coke to make more money.
- Capital investment, man. - Why bother? We could just steal it.
No better way to steal than free enterprise.
Smoke?
No, those things will kill you.
You want to live forever?
Don't move.
Go ahead and do it.
Dead or alive, you're coming with me.
Lewis?
Lewis!
I got a situation in here.
Okay, tough guy, get up. Get up!
Turn around and spread your legs. That's right.
Lewis, where are you? You all right?
Hands on your head.
Lewis.
Let us take over from here, Emil.
Your ass is mine.
No!
Not yet, it ain't.
Well, what have we here?
You a good cop, hotshot?
Sure you are.
You gotta be some kind of great cop.
Come in here all by yourself.
Where's your partner?
Guys, the other one was upstairs.
She was sweet.
I took her out.
I bet that really pisses you off.
You probably don't think I'm a very nice guy.
Do you?
I think you're slime.
See, I got this problem.
Cops don't like me.
So I don't like cops.
Well, give the man a hand.
He's all yours.
- Look out. - Turn around, man.
Hey, pretty boy. Hey, over here.
I'm out of ammo.
Me too.
Hey, Clarence! He is still alive
Does it hurt? Does it hurt?
Okay, fun's over.
Okay, let's get out of here.
Good night, sweet prince.
Hey, wait up. Wait up.
Murphy.
- Get him over. - Clear.
Ventilate him. Get the mask.
Okay, hit the door.
- Let me get pressure. - Mask him.
Got a pressure of 60 pel.
We're gonna have to intubate this guy.
All right, I got it in. Breath sounds?
- You're in. - Other side.
- Let's get the mask trousers up. - Get the clothes off.
Clothes off. Prep him for a central line.
Let's get some blood drawn. Type and crossing, six units.
Pressure's dropping.
Central line's in, getting pressure back. Normal saline.
Can you do that, Dad?
- I really have to tell you something. - Blood pressure?
- I've got 40 pel. - All right.
Coarse D-fib. Okay, we gotta shock him.
Put the Foley in. Let's blow the mask trousers.
- Okay. - Stand clear.
Coarse D-fib. Let's shock him again.
Clear.
Flat line. Let's go, intracardiac epinephrine.
- All right, it's in. - No pulse.
Let's go ahead and shock a flat line and then quit.
- Okay, everybody stand clear. - Clear.
All right, that's all we can do. Let's call it.
What's the time?
6:15.
Sharp.
It's starting to roll.
Shit!
Bring in the L.E.D.
Lock it down.
- He's on. - What's the story?
- We saved the left arm. - What?
We agreed on total body prosthesis. Now lose the arm.
Jesus, Morton.
- Can he understand? - We'll blank his memory, anyway.
We should lose the arm. What do you think?
He signed a release when he joined the force. And he's dead.
We can do pretty much what we want.
Lose the arm.
Shut him down. Prep him for surgery.
The outer skin will be like this.
It's titanium, laminated with Kevlar.
Go ahead, shake his hand.
Come here often? How you doing?
Got a hell of a grip.
It's 400 foot-pounds.
He could crush every bone in your hand.
All right, attach it to his shoulder.
I like that.
You're gonna be a bad motherfucker!
Hey, hey. Look, he's watching us!
This is for you.
Happy New Year.
We get the best of both worlds.
The fastest reflexes possible today...
...computer-assisted memory...
...and a lifetime of on-the-street officer programming.
It is my great pleasure to present to you...
...Robocop.
Come on, come on.
That's for you.
- That's for you. - Go, Robo.
I'm what you call a repeat offender.
I will offend again.
I get my orders from a higher source.
Shut up, asshole.
- Go through the side. - A cell is set for observation.
What's this all about?
- Who's this? - Sergeant John Reed.
It's official OCP business, so please, get lost.
- We got four or five days... - Hey, this is bullshit!
I take my orders from...
What is this shit?
When at rest, you'll sit in a chair.
Yes, I understand.
What about tracking?
We check his exact location with one of these.
How does he eat?
His digestive system is simple.
This processor dispenses a paste that sustains his organic systems.
It tastes like baby food.
Knock yourself out.
- Let's start with tracking. - Give me a grid.
- Got it? - Clear.
- Target. - Check.
Now follow.
Check.
Voice stress analyzer.
- It's up. - One, two...
...three.
- Check. - Record.
- Now playback. - Bring it up 50%.
Full frame.
I think he's ready.
- We got it. - All right, clear out.
What are your prime directives?
Serve the public trust.
Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.
That's good.
That's very good.
I fucking love that guy.
- It's Supercop. - Look at that fucking gun.
Shit!
- This guy is good. - He's not a guy, he's a machine.
What are they gonna do? Replace us?
Come on.
- Reed. - Yeah.
He needs a car.
Thank you.
Sure.
Anytime.
Oh, yeah. Go get 'em, boy.
I'd buy that for a dollar.
And guess what I'm going to do now?
Happy birthday, Bixby.
Is there anything else, sir?
Empty the register and put the money in the bag.
Excuse me?
I said, give me your money, all of it, and don't fuck with me!
Now move!
Open the safe, pops.
Open the goddamn safe!
- We don't have a safe. - Shit.
There's your goddamned safe! Now open the son of a bitch.
Quit stalling. You better open that son of a bitch!
Come on!
I'm gonna blow her brains out.
- I'll open the safe. - Good boy.
You better open that on the count of three. One, two...
Fuck me.
Drop the gun. You are under arrest.
Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!
Thank you for your cooperation. Good night.
I'll buy that for a dollar!
No, please!
Don't touch me!
- Get away! Get away! - We don't want your money!
Take it easy. We don't want to hurt you.
Too much hair.
I know! We'll give her a haircut.
- Hey, hey! - What?
There's more hair down there!
No! Don't!
Please.
Let the woman go. You are under arrest.
Shit.
You better back up, pal, because he's gonna do her!
He's gonna kill her!
Your move, creep.
No problem. It's okay.
Thank God.
I was so scared. Thank you.
Thank you.
Madam, you have suffered an emotional shock.
I will notify a rape crisis center.
All units, sector six. Please close intersections...
I don't care. Get those men by the stairs, now.
Terrorism has never been a factor in city politics before.
That changed today when former councilman...
...Ron Miller entered City Hall with a gun.
He's on the second floor...
...holding Mayor Gibson and his staff hostage.
We do believe that Miller has killed one of the hostages.
- Lieutenant, what's next? - We wait. Terrorism is very tricky.
Massive and immediate retaliation is the best policy. Unfortunately...
- Excuse us. - Wait, where you going?
Statement, please.
Hey, let's have some crowd control. Come on, get these people back!
- Where the hell are you going? - Keep him talking.
One quick question here!
Who made you?
Are you invincible?
Okay, Miller. Don't hurt the mayor.
We'll give you whatever you want.
First, don't fuck with me.
I'm a desperate man.
And second, I want some fresh coffee.
And third, I want a recount.
No matter how it turns out, I want my old job back.
- Okay. - And I want a bigger office.
And I want a new car! And I want the city to pay for it all!
- What kind of car, Miller? - One with reclining leather seats...
...that goes really fast and gets really shitty gas mileage.
How about the 6000 SUX?
Yeah.
Okay, sure.
What about cruise control? Does it have cruise control?
No problem, Miller.
Let the mayor go, we'll even throw in a Blaupunkt.
Lieutenant, don't jerk me off!
When people jerk me off, I kill them!
You want to see?
Get up, Your Honor. Get up!
Get up. Your public wants to see you.
Nobody ever takes me seriously!
We'll get serious now...
...and kiss the mayor's ass goodbye!
Robocop. Who is he? What is he?
Where does he come from?
He is OCP's newest soldier...
...in their revolutionary crime management program.
OCP spokesmen claim the fearless machine...
...has crooks on the run in Old Detroit.
Today, kids at Lee Iacocca Elementary got to meet in person...
...what their parents only read about in comic books.
Excuse me, Robo...
...any special message for all the kids watching at home?
Stay out of trouble.
More fighting in the Mexican crisis...
...when American troops joined in a raid with Mexican Nationals...
...against rebel rocket positions in Acapulco.
Now this.
Red alert. Red alert.
You crossed my line of death.
You haven't dismantled your MX stockpile.
Pakistan is threatening my border!
That's it, buster. No more military aid.
Nuke 'em.
Get them before they get you.
Another quality home game from Butler Brothers.
Today labor leaders agreed to sanction construction of OCP's Delta City...
...thereby creating one million much-needed new jobs...
...despite questions about worker safety in dangerous Old Detroit.
Robert Morton, vice president, Security Concepts, OCP.
I can't comment on Delta City. But I will tell you this:
Security Concepts projects the end of crime in Old Detroit within 40 days.
There's a new guy in town. His name's Robocop.
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby-boy. Vice president. Congratulations.
- Handball Tuesday night? - I would, Bill...
...but I've got some models coming to my place.
I'd buy that for a dollar.
Welcome to the club, Bob.
You're making a name for yourself in Security Concepts with Robocop.
I try.
Let me in on the bottom line, pal.
I hear Jones was plenty pissed.
You know, he's got this killer rep, but it's a smoke screen.
He's lost his teeth. The guy's a pussy.
Are we talking about the same Dick Jones?
He's old, we're young. That's life.
I gotta go. I got a meeting.
Congratulations, Bob.
Thanks.
I remember when I was a young executive at this company.
We used to call the old man funny names.
"Iron Butt."
"Boner."
Once I even called him...
..."asshole."
But there was always respect.
I always knew where the line was drawn.
And you just stepped over it, buddy-boy.
You've insulted me.
And you've insulted this company with your bastard creation.
I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209.
Renovation program.
Spare parts for 25 years.
Who cares if it worked or not?
The old man thought it was pretty important, Dick.
You know...
...he's a sweet old man.
And he means well.
But he's not gonna live forever.
And I'm number two around here.
Pretty simple math, huh, Bob?
You just...
...fucked with the wrong guy.
You're out of your fucking mind.
You better pray...
...that that unholy monster of yours doesn't screw up.
You hungry?
No, thanks.
Oh, no.
Damn rebels blew up the airport in Acapulco.
Great, we were going there next week. Hey, what was that?
Hey, look.
Bucket-boy's online.
Hey. Hey!
Halt. Stop!
Wait a minute!
- What's going on? - I don't know. He just left.
He just left?
Roosevelt!
We got a problem.
Out of the way.
Take a look at this.
Shit! Call Bob Morton.
Jerry, book him. I'll catch up with you later.
Hello.
I haven't really had a chance to introduce myself.
I'm Anne Lewis.
Do you have a name?
How can I help you, Officer Lewis?
That's not really what I meant.
Don't you have a name?
Hold it. Sign right here.
You don't understand. I'm OCP.
Murphy.
It's you.
You really don't remember me?
Excuse me.
I have to go.
Somewhere, there is a crime happening.
Stop!
- What did you talk to him about? - Nothing.
- Shit. - Shit.
Stop!
Hey, you there! Stop!
You're in a lot of trouble, officer.
Come on.
I was assured full cooperation by this precinct.
One of your grunts screws it up, I'll have your job!
- What's the update? - Hard to know.
- We have a glitch or what? - He wasn't designed for somatic rest.
He had a dream. A dream.
This cop questioned him.
I didn't question him. I asked his name. He didn't know.
Oh, great.
Let me make it clear. He doesn't have a name, he has a program.
He's product.
- Is that clear? - Sure.
Pull him in. Run a systems check, the works.
Take him offline because he had a dream?
What, are you kidding?
Let's get out of here.
Listen, Reed.
Try to keep one thing in mind:
