Get a shot of the charge, Mike!
Ready, boss.
Let's go!
Pretty great stuff.
Stay with Price (?), stay with him.
There's the victim, get a shot!
Debrassi, stay there! Don't move!
Didn't you heard him? Don't move!
Stick 'em up, Debrassi!
Open the safe, you old diamond staff (?)!
I can't!
Get the blood, Marty! Great!
Maybe you didn't hear so good. I said open it up!
Help me, please!
I'm sorry sir, there's nothing we can do.
We're with Inside Crime, we're taping this for TV.
You can't just stand there!
It's the law, we can't intervene. Besides, believe me, we'll compensate you for your trouble.
Hey boss, let's have some fun!
No, please don't! Mr. Debrassi!
You animal! Let her go!
Oh, you should talk. We will if you will.
Alright, you win!
All right now, the carbon sixteens. Which ones?
Get a shot of those diamonds.
Oh, beautiful. Yeah.
For all you folks out there in TV land, you are watching a pro at work.
There is one crucial element in a successful crime.
And that is... surprise... (Have you ever seen Dexter? In the first few seasons there is an annoying black guy who loves the word Motherfucker. I distinctly remember a scene where he appears when he is not expected and just says "Surprise, motherfucker"... https: //www.youtube.com/watch? V=PBXVYM4zlDg )
Throw down your weapons! You are under arrest.
Oh yeah? Says who?
Okay boys, let's show this freak what we do with scrap metal!
Pudface Morgan!
That's right, Roboklutz. I'm back, and on prime time!
He's coming after us, boss!
Oh yeah? Well, he can't catch us. Move it, every crack (?) for himself!... (I could only hear track, and it makes no sense. WTF??????? How did these idiots get a job in acting?)
Keep it rolling, keep it rolling!
Okay, keep up with him! Come on, Marty, let's go, let's go! I hope you're getting on this! It's worth great stuff, great stuff!
Wow, I didn't know he could do that.
Are you all right?
Adios, muchacho!
You could've killed us!
You interfered with a police action.
We have every right to be here.
Officer, I'm with Inside Crime and I'm pressing charges. Arrest that robot!
Go ahead and shock the flatline, then let's quit.
Okay, everybody clear!
Officer Alex Murphy shot to death in the line of duty.
Legally, he's dead. We can pretty much do what we want.
There's a new guy in town. His name's Robocop.
Murphy, it is you.
Tonight...
notorious killer and prison escapee William Ray 'Pudface' Morgan challenges Robocop
as we take you Inside Crime. Your host: Rochelle Carney.
Every week our Inside Crime cameras capture real crimes while they're being committed,
so that we can show you, the public, the brutal reality of the criminal world.
We don't glamorize crime, we reveal it for what it is.
To protect the identities of our featured felons we insisted that they'd all be masked.
However, this week a criminal was accidentally unmasked.
Despite this, in our belief that our viewers have a right to know we are running the show uncut.
For that is how it was.
Later, you'll meet our special guest victims,
diamond merchant Henry Debrassi and his loyal secretary miss Maple.
Back after this.
Okay, that was from the last night's edition of the controversial series Inside Crime.
What's On Your Mind, detective Lisa Madigan.
Rochelle Carney says her show performs a public service.
Oh, talk about hypocrisy. She's sorry Pudface Morgan exposed himself in front of millions of viewers, but she uses him to plug the show.
Why not? The crime was reported on every MediaBreak with Pudface Morgan's name.
Yeah, you made sure of that, didn't you?
Well, who unmasked Pudface anyway? If Robocop hadn't have intervened...
What are you talking? He was doing his job.
And you and your buddy interfered with an arrest.
If you'd checked the statute, Sergeant, you'll find the supreme court ruled in Murdoc versus Michigan...
Yeah, yeah, I know all about freedom of press access laws!
Then why complain?
If anyone committed a crime it was Robocop.
He totally ignored our safety. Marty here was almost killed.
Robocop saved his life!
Yes, and gave him one of the worst cases of whiplash that doctor has ever seen!
Okay, okay, wow-wow-wow... Whose show is this anyway, huh?
Okay, Mack McAdam, you're saying that you and your partner here Marty Flann
had no idea that you were with fugitive killer Pudface Morgan?
None at all.
The notification for the crime came in the usual way over our confidential crime line. It's totally anonymous.
Yeah, and we're not even allowed to monitor that line.
That is the law, Sergeant.
All you care about is exploiting a depraved interest in violence!
- I resent that. - Okay, all right, speaking of violence, let's meet a guy who knows a thing or two in that particular subject.
Welcome now if you will, Robocop!
They love the big guy, don't they?
You can take that to the bank, chief.
The numbers from last night's show.
We're talking anabolic. We're talking obliteration time!
You think it's Robocop?
What else?
Oh, we should give Pudface some of the credit.
'Cause after all, in his own cruel way, he's quite a showman himself.
You know, she's got something there, chief.
If I've learned one thing... excuse me...
in my previous position here, it's that Pudface Morgan and Robocop are PR magic!
No one enjoys success more than I do, Aubrey.
But let's face it, those police officers are right.
OCP media should not be seen as providing a forum for criminal maniacs. It's bad for business.
Oh, I agree.
So do I.
It was just one of those unforeseen things.
The alarms went off, Robocop responded and... we got lucky.
To the tune of $68/share.
But the question is, how do we follow it up, I mean, without actual...
Manipulation?
Now careful, Aubrey, if there were ever any hint of...
No-no, of course not. It's unthinkable, definitely not.
Robocop certainly has star quality.
No doubt about it.
Who knows, we may get lucky again.
You know, the chairman just loves what you're doing with Inside Crime, Miss Carney.
So do I.
I appreciate that, Mr. Fox. Thank you.
God, Rochelle!
I might explode! You know what it does to me when you talk ratings!
The higher the share, the more I've gotta...
I know, I know, I feel the same way.
Of course you do, we can't pretend with each other.
That's so good to me, Aubrey.
Oh, you make it easy, baby.
Just want the show to be ahead.
But it is! It is, and we first came that you'd be the one who pulled it off. (?)
A woman like you, with your fire, no one's safe.
Not even me.
You say the nicest things.
Oh, you make it easy, baby. You make it easy, baby, oh, baby!
Well, it certainly looks impressive.
You can say that again.
It's a prototype for a new generation of armored vehicles.
The timing could hardly be better.
Is the gold coming in on schedule?
Straight through from Siberia.
The largest shipment of... ever attempted by the Delta City Bank.
Or any bank, for that matter.
A billion big ones. I guess so.
And you say the car is hijack-proof?
Super steel plating is impenetrable.
Except for maybe a carbon sixteen drill.
No, not even that.
What's carbon sixteen?
A synthetic diamond, the hardest substance in the world.
The point is, a set of these diamonds was lifted by Pudface Morgan the other night.
I saw that on Inside Crime!
Well, I was just scanning the dial.
Yeah, well, if he went to the trouble of stealing them, we gotta figure he'll use them.
You mean...
Exactly.
Just let him try!
Yes. Let him try.
Hey, lady, how's about a ten-spot for a hungry guy?
I don't have a ten-spot.
How's about a fin for a cappuccino?
If you don't get away from me, I'll call a guard!
Ain't no guards down here!
Only me.
So... how was the ratings?
You should read Trades!
Who's got time to read?
Well, it's more than numbers, it's demographics.
We scored highest among young males, teens and kids.
Oh, ain't that sweet? They want a role model.
Well, lot of them are Robocop fans.
What?
But the rest of them are with you!
By the way, you improvised greatly.
Oh, you liked that?
Losing the mask was an inspiration.
Yeah, I thought that was a nice touch.
It really made the show. And it primed the public for a rematch.
What do you say?
Well... we don't wanna disappoint our public, do we?
Not if we can help it.
No, she's here. No, I'm serious, right over there! Take a look, she's coming right now!
- From that TV show? What's she doing here? - Fantastic.
- Excuse me. - Let me get that for you.
Miss Carney, can I have an autograph?
I just want us to get along, Lisa.
May I call you Lisa?
Why not?
I don't see why there should be all this hostility.
You know, after all we all answer to the man upstairs.
The chairman!
And I'm sure he will like us to resolve our differences.
Which is why I want to arrange a meeting.
A lunch perhaps, strictly informal.
And this way we can air our problems in a more civilized way.
I think that would be swell.
See? We're cooperating already!
Oh, by the way, I wanted to tell you, you were just too fabulous on the Umberto Ortega show.
I just love it when a woman stands up to these... well, you know...
I didn't really see this as a gender issue.
Oh believe me, everything's a gender issue.
It's him!
I've never actually... seen him in flesh.
Robo!
This is Rochelle Carney of Inside Crime.
How do you do, ma'am?
I was just telling Lisa that I hope that we can work together. From now on.
All good citizens should work together to combat crime.
Well put. And so true.
I must go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.
Well, I hope we meet again.
Soon.
It's funny. I almost said he's quite a man.
You don't know the half of it.
Thank you for calling the confidential crime line. Please leave a message.
We're going to a party tonight. Thought you boys might wanna join us.
Could be something special.
And this is...
This is our dispatch center where we track all our patrol units.
I can put up a hit for you if you like.
Okay, the lights indicate the position of each unit, color coded to status.
Yellow for operational, green for active.
It's fascinating. Is Robocop included?
He's that yellow light in the zone seven.
Although you know, he doesn't act like most units, he sort of freelances, does his own thing, just goes after what he can get to.
Like the other night.
Indeed. Well, it's been fun.
Thank you so much for your hospitality.
I'll be in touch with you back at lunch.
Drive carefully.
What's happening, Mack?
Trouble. I got a crime line call from Pudface Morgan.
I recognized his voice. Well, after what we went through...
Never mind that, do what he wants.
But it's against the rules.
I made the rules, remember? Go.
Yeah?
He's in zone seven.
Got it. Thanks, babe.
Break a leg.
Hey, what's your business here?
This!
Oops, got the dropsie?
Hi! We're with Inside Crime.
Grab some sky, gentlemen!
Hey Shorty, show our host here a good time!
Sure thing, boss.
Let's get in there!
And the rest of you guys, you know what we're after!
Move it!
Hello, police? I've got a robbery to report.
That's right, a rob... in progress.
All units in sector seven, robbery in progress, 28th and Caldwell, Omni Construction.
Hurry it up!
Oh, that's good.
Okay, we're on our way, let's go!
Not so fast, Morgan!
Who did you say?
No mask can hide the ugly truth... Pudface Morgan.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but trash talk can't touch me.
Get him, boys!
It's time we gave this show a little heat!
Not bad! Just for that you can come to my barbecue!
Come on, let's go for yummies.
Great finish, pal. You wanna be in show-biz!
Get a shot of that!
Perfect, Pudface. It's perfect.
Old Detroit's favorite crime fighter is now buffed, polished and back on duty. But controversy still rages
as Robocop goes another round with Pudface Morgan on Inside Crime. Our lead story tonight.
Well, Bo, they've done it again.
Have they ever, Rocky, for the second week in a row viewers were glued to their TV sets
as Robocop and hypercriminal William Ray 'Pudface' Morgan fought to a draw on Inside Crime.
And what about those ratings?
And you're telling me there was no collusion of any kind?
No sir, we're in the clear, believe me.
As much as I hate to admit it, Pudface Morgan just... flat out fooled us.
Right?
Boy, do I feel stupid.
I set up that lunch with representatives of the police.
We'll have it here if that's convenient.
Fine.
We expect a bonus for this.
You'll get it.
Miss Carney? I was wondering if we could have a word...
I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, Mr. Fox.
It'll just take a second.
Aubrey, things are moving very quickly and we don't want to slip behind a curve now, do we?
Well, I know but...
I'll call you.
If I... If I can just... Rochelle! Rochelle!
Throw down your weapon, you are under arrest!
Come and get me, Roboklutz!
What is that?
We got them at the OCP market, they just came out.
An all-vox voice simulator?
You can get all kinds of different ones.
We saw you on TV, Robocop. You and Pudface Morgan.
Show this creep how we feel about scrap metal!
Why would a little boy want to be Pudface Morgan?
'Cause he's so cool!
Television has a lot to answer for.
The billion will be transported from the loading bay into the surveillance corridor,
past the four checkpoints through the central scan, finally emerging in our maximum security vault.
It's solid background (?) here.
Yeah, well, it looks good all right.
Of course if Morgan does try something...
It won't be in this place.
Now you can bet on that, all that nitro blasting grabbed the other day
plus the high speed maxi-pierce drill, the perfect tool for the carbon sixteen bit...
Draw your own conclusions.
It's almost as if he's telling us what he's going to do?
Pudface Morgan is usually not so foolish.
He's an egomaniac.
It's how he gets his kicks.
Perhaps.
Or perhaps his real target is elsewhere.
You really think so?
Not a chance.
Not only will he try a fully armored car, he'll probably do it on TV.
The most sleaze-meisters (?) from Inside Crime would like nothing better.
Oh God...
It's state of the art, Robocop.
Installed when we moved in three months ago. And nothing could pierce those walls.
When was the building constructed?
I'm not sure. We lease this space from OCP properties.
We've done all we can to enhance security as you've seen.
Well, I still say it won't matter. Pudface is going after that car.
What was that?
Must be the garage. Or maybe it's that lady, ain't you supposed to meet her?
No, she was supposed to meet me!
Who's the star around here anyway? Watch it, fast, get out!
We have to get a new approach.
The confidential crime line is out, the only thing I can think of is if you kidnap my crew.
And then you force them to go along with you on your job, whatever it is.
Where're they gonna be?
They're gonna be with me at the OCP tower covering the lunch meeting with the chairman and police officers, PR thing.
Grab them when they leave. They're sniveling little cowards, they'll do whatever you say.
I got a better idea. Let's grab those weasels right in front of the cops and the chairman.
What?
Yeah, the chairman's suspicious, right? So if we pull this off right in his face with you sitting there,
what's he gonna say? You'll all be victims!
Not only that, he will be so outraged he'll call in Robocop personally! It's perfect!
Yeah, like I said.
Pudface Morgan raids the OCP tower. It's a blockbuster!
Yeah, and it's sweeps week.
Well, I took your advice and I, uh, read the Trades.
People told me you were crazy.
Yeah? Well, people don't want to learn about me!
And they're gonna learn it real soon.
Now relax, Mr. Forbes. Pudface Morgan can't possibly know the route we're taking.
And even if he did, there's nothing he can do about it.
It's just this gold is the security for the next phase of the Delta City renewal program.
If anything were to happen... just imagine what the chairman would do to me!
Now listen to me. We've got every available officer between here and the Delta City bank.
Nobody, I mean nobody is going to stop this convoy!
Go on.
Hey Alex, I've been watching you on television!
Oops... Not a good time, right?
You are always welcome, Diana.
So what's this thing with you and Pudface Morgan?
A devious man who should not be underestimated.
From the look of this army, I'd say you're taking him pretty seriously.
Something feels wrong. He's manipulating us.
The question is... why?
Lisa!
I am so glad you could come!
Oh, I wouldn't have missed it.
You know, it's a shame about Sergeant Parks.
Oh, he's at a very important meeting, the chairman knows about it.
Indeed, I do, in fact I don't know why this wasn't rescheduled.
Well, we're not all privy to the secrets of the Detroit police department.
Despite what some people think.
We're taping a special segment for the show.
See, we believe the public needs to be reassured that we're all on the same side.
I see.
Beta 1 to Sergeant Parks! Beta 1 to Sergeant Parks!
ETA at the Delta City bank: 20 minutes.
What did I tell you? Smooth as a bullet.
Pretty neat boss, the cops go one way, we go the other.
That's the beauty of it, Shorty.
After today, the whole world's gonna see Robocop for what he really is.
Bozocop!
To success.
And harmony.
Absolutely.
Here-here!
Oh, how stupid.
Just... okay...
Would you excuse me?
Of course.
Ah, right on time.
Have one of your men hold the door, and you can take down Mack and Marty the same way.
You see, Shorty? She thinks of everything.
Yeah.
You hold the door!
And give me time to get back before you come in.
Oh... whatever you do, make it look real.
What do you think, Shorty? Can we make it look real?
We can try.
Yes, intrinsically...
She's back.
I was just telling detective Madigan... Lisa...
that Inside Crime is actually an advocate for crime prevention.
And I was just telling Mr. Fox... Aubrey... that I don't believe a word of it.
Neither do I, if truth be told. But what can we do, I mean the people go for it!
Oh, so what's next, Those Darn Vigilantes, The Whacky World of Mob Violence, what?
You know, Chief, that's not bad.
The point is, how do we encourage crime by showing a degenerate like Pudface Morgan?
Careful, Miss Carney! Or you'll hurt my feelings.
Pudface Morgan!
Hold it, Madigan!
Hand it over!
If I nailed you, that would be the first on Inside Crime,
and frankly, we don't need that because... because of my two friends Mack and Marty here,
and you, Mr. Chairman, we're gonna try something special.
We're not just going on prime time, we're going on prime time live!
Beta 1 to Sergeant Parks! ETA at the Delta City bank: 5 minutes.
Robo, we've got a problem. You'll want it on video mode, quick!
Welcome to Inside Crime!
Yeah, it's me, Robojerk, and I've got some friends of yours.
If you want to see them again, it's real simple.
All you've gotta do is hand over that bundle of goodies that you're about to deposit in the Delta City bank.
That's right, big guy. A cool billion.
And just to keep you honest, we're gonna stay on the air live until you get here.
Should be a fun show.
Tell the truth, tin man:
You knew I was gonna get that gold one way or another, you know you did!
You were right.
Pudface knew he couldn't beat this car so he set us up.
While we emptied a presix (?) he strolls in OCP.
That's the chairman and Madigan... I should've seen it coming.
But you're not going to pay the ransom?
Not on your life!
If he thinks he can get away with this, he's loonier than I figured. Let's go men, OCP towers!
But the gold!
I'll leave a S.W.A.T. team with you. You two! Wilcox!
Grab some sky, big boy!
Come on, stretch them, or I'll let you have it!
You should be in school.
School is for losers, tin man.
Fire!
Let's move, Robo!
School is for losers, tin man.
Tell the truth, tin man!
- Tin man! - Tin man!
Diana, I need your help.
I thought you'd never ask.
Media Central.
Got you. I'm on my way.
You know, since I've been doing these guest spots for Inside Crime,
I get a lot of mail - anonymous, or course - asking me:
"Pudface, how can I get to be such a great criminal like you?"
Well kids, you can't because I'm unique.
But for all you young lawbreakers out there, success in crime can be summed up in three words:
Practice, practice, practice!
What? What happened?
It's not us.
I, I, I...
It's a transmission problem.
Oh, it's back.
Wait a minute!
That was me half an hour ago!
- What's going on here? - I, I, I...
I want some answers!
They've obviously put you on tape delay.
Meaning what?
Meaning they're as tired of your hot air as we are.
Oh, sister, you are right on the edge.
And you're way over it, pal!
I smell a double cross.
Say it ain't so, Miss Carney!
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, no? Well, hear this:
You got us into this place, and if anything goes wrong, you're getting us out!
What does he mean?
Rochelle?
He's lying, can't... can't you see? I met with him obviously but I never thought...
I mean... I never thought it would come to this! He double-crossed me! He was supposed to kidnap the crew!
What?
See, it was going to be show, just like always! Believe me, it was!
You mean all your shows were fixed?
No, absolutely and unequivocally... I didn't know anything about this, chief. I'm as surprised as you are.
No, you did know, you didn't want to know. Just as long as we had the numbers.
Leave all the dirty work to me, right? You even got a little bit on the side!
What? But that's preposterous.
What does she mean, "a little bit on the side"?
I have always had the utmost respect for all of our fine female employees.
All right Aubrey, I've heard enough. You're reassigned!
No! Not back to PR, please!
Take it or leave it.
I'll take it.
And as for you...
You'll get my resignation in the morning.
Will you people knock it off?
You can all resign from the world. Right now!
Talk is cheap, Morgan.
Can you back it up?
Nice going. We've got him!
Guess again, flat-foot.
One step closer, and she's history!
How dare you put your filthy hands on me!
Rochelle, come on! Shoo!
You swine!
It's not worth it!
I hate men!
Yeah, I know, I know.
How about that? The master criminal taken down by a woman.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing... nothing.
Well, I'd say it's a good job all around.
I agree.
Pudface Morgan is finished.
Not quite.
What?
How did he...
With this.
A voice simulator.
Then where's Pudface?
Show time!
Say it ain't so, Miss Carney!
Nice delivery Shorty, just as I wrote.
Knock it off! You can all resign from the world. Right now!
Talk is cheap, Morgan.
Can you back it up?
Definitely, Robochump. Most definitely.
- We've got him! - Guess again!
Bingo!
I'm rich! I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich!
Yes! I'm rich! I'm too rich...
No, you are under arrest.
But... but...
The picture is delayed, so you would not be alarmed.
How did you figure that out?
I was so... smart!
Not smart enough.
Let me go! Let me go!
It's what you wanted, Morgan: To be on TV.
Next week at this time Inside Crime will not be scened.
Watch for the premiere of the whacky new live-action fun-fest: "Those Darn Vigilanties"!
