- Get outta here, kid, get off me! - Hey, push!
Your selection, please.
Fifty. On Italian army in a Cyprus-Greek conflict.
The chairman is ready for your conference, Mr. Trenton. You have 3 minutes.
Beginning now.
Good morning, Mr. Trenton.
Good morning, sir!
I was hoping we could have a... a face-to-face.
Yes, well, I'm a busy man. You have some thoughts regarding gambling-related crime, Mr. Trenton?
Your selection, please.
Shit.
Let's get outta here!
Violence is rising
due to the Braga-Molotov war for control
of illegal gambling in Old Detroit, sir.
Gambling which significantly affects the sale of OCP lotto tickets.
Now, as vice-president in charge of the criminal think tank,
I have come up with what I am confident is the only viable solution.
I want to reprogram Robocop.
Get rid of all his directives and overwrite all of that namby-pamby stuff.
I want to make him as ruthless as the criminals.
Now, I ran some numbers...
Mr. Trenton, with ideas like that
the only numbers that should concern you are your remaining days with OCP.
Robocop is first and foremost a police officer.
He will not break the law to uphold the law.
Drop your weapons and surrender, or there will be...
- trouble. - Dust him!
And most important, Robocop represents the most positive aspects of this corporation.
Freeze! You're under arrest!
Wager data transmitted. All bets cleared from memory.
I just dumped the evidence. You've got nothing on me, robot.
Don't bet on it.
I expect better of you, Mr. Trenton. And I expect it by the end of the week.
Buchanan Max, warden Delvecchio, private line.
What is it, J. Michael?
Activate Tin Man.
You're joking? What about the glitches? What about...
I'll take that chance! Activate him now!
Tin Man activation.
Go ahead and shock the flatline, then let's quit.
Okay, everybody clear!
Officer Alex Murphy shot to death in a 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.
Give us three minutes, and we'll give you the world.
This is Media Break with Bo Harlan and Rocky Crenshaw.
Rioting broke out at the national scholastic decathlon in Las Vegas today,
when spectators accused this young man, Elliott "Pukie" Feldman,
of throwing the match by failing to recognize the molecular structure of silicon
and causing the odds on favorite Mumford High to lose.
It was a frame-up! The opposing team brought donuts.
I was hyped on sugar, I'm not supposed to have sweets.
Ask my mom!
It's too bad. I had 5 bucks on that one.
Speaking of bucks...
Treasury department officials declared the 1 dollar Ronald Reagan coin,
affectionately known as "the ronnie", a success,
saying that in a second year of minting the coin has completely replaced the traditional paper greenback.
More after this.
Hi, my name is Milt Sever, and I won 10 million bucks playing Commander Cash scratchers.
And you know what: It's true what they say...
money talks.
Commander Cash scratchers: It's more than a game, it's easy money!
Odds of winning are 14500000:1.
- I need you to sign off on these. - Did that this morning, Sarge.
- Those were this morning's memos, these are the afternoon batch. - You're kidding me.
- Yeah. - Oh, I should've known.
From the desk of Mr. J. Michael Trenton, executive vice-president, criminal think tank.
Robocop, where are you off to?
I have a lead in one of Reggie Braga's pitman games.
Not until you give me those arrest reports on the junk food "shoot-em-up" you crashed this morning.
Done.
Hey, wait a minute, Robo. Here's a memo about you.
"Arrest record down 2% in the last quarter.
Please adjust circuits accordingly."
Circuits? Give that memo to Lippencot.
Hey look, just do what I do.
Don't read them, just initial them.
This looks just like the machines on the ice-cream trucks.
All done. Wanna give it a test?
Scratch off 6 Commander Cashes and win 10 million big ones.
- Just costs a ronnie to play. - Wow, 10 million big ones!
You know, Sarge won't let me buy anything from those trucks.
- He says they're filled with junk food and vice. - Hey-hey, I didn't authorize that thing!
Sorry, general.
OCP's put them in every precinct, besides...
you initialed the memo.
Gadget!
On days like this I wish I could buy a boat and you and me could sail away.
Gambling in a police station, can you believe it?
Next thing you know we'll be getting liquor, dancing...
10 million big ones could buy Sarge a really big boat.
With a pool table and kitchen.
Gee, I lost.
- Come on! - To the one in the red!
Yeah, come on!
Please, come on!
You know, it's a pleasure doing business with
enterprising young Americans
who know when to play down.
Hey, where's the rest?
Wow, donuts! Thanks, Reggie!
- You're a good boy, Pukie. - My name's Elliott...
Stitch.
Don't call me Stitch!
Yes, sir!
Let's go.
Down him, down, come on!
Well, if it isn't Reggie Braga.
Molotov!
- Perhaps we can make a deal. - Yeah, sure.
On your knees. Now.
Okay... I can be a reasonable man.
I won't hit your trucks no more, okay?
- We can forget about all this. - Yeah, we're gonna forget about it all right.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Hey boss, who's that?
Get down!
- Blow him away! - Get him!
- Drop your weapons! - The cops!
Malloy's rule number one: There's nothing,
nothing better than being a cop.
Malloy?
Hello! I am talking bomb. I'm set to explode in 15 seconds.
Have a nice day. 14 seconds.
13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8,
7, 6, 5, 4...
- Get out! - Move it, move it!
Hey, Robo!
Robo, wait up!
- Can I help you? - Can you help me?
- Murphy, what's going on with you? You all right? - Yes. Thank you for your concern.
- Robocop! - Oh, thank goodness!
Hey, we lost track of you after that warehouse explosion. What happened out there?
I will file a report. Excuse me.
Guess I'll read the report.
Sergeant, can you spare a ronnie for some coffee? I seem to have misplaced all my change.
Oh yeah.
I'm outside the court room where the Malloy trial took a dramatic turn today.
The jury heard damning testimony from Detroit police officer, Timothy Malloy's rookie partner, officer Alex Murphy
that he attempted to stop Malloy from striking the suspect
Robert Prince with several brutal blows.
Watch, there's officer Murphy now!
Just a few words, please!
Hey, thanks, partner, thanks a lot. How do you feel now, huh?
It was your testimony that's gonna put me away.
Do you know what they do to cops in prison?
He was a dirt bag, Murph! He was a *bleep* dirt bag!
Officer Murphy, how do you feel knowing it was your... your own testimony that put your partner in prison?
All I did was tell the truth.
He doesn't deserve this.
He's only going to prison because you people turned this trial into a witch hunt.
I should've lied...
Malloy's rule number two:
Good cop always plays by the rules. Even when it hurts.
Beautiful... just beautiful.
I love this guy!
He single-handedly takes out two of the nation's most vicious crime gangs,
and he's as cool as vegetable.
Hey, no offense.
Oh, wait till the old man gets a load of this guy's handiwork!
He's gonna love it!
We are talking bonus time... and maybe even a promotion.
- Sensors registered a glitch. - A glitch? What kind of a glitch?
He hesitated. Again.
Who cares? He pulled it off!
You know, the CIA wasn't too pleased when it happened during a real sanction.
Larry, Larry, Larry! You worry too much.
You gotta take some chances in this life, you know, put your butt on the line if you wanna get ahead.
Sometimes I wonder if he can even comprehend what's happened to him.
Larry, you really need a change of scenery.
You hang around this zombie long enough, he'll give anybody the creeps.
Come on, I'll buy you dinner, huh?
And we'll bring you back a doggy bag.
- Do you have a tissue, Lisa? - Sure do.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- You know what? - What's up?
That new motorcycle you're always talking about,
you're gonna get it real soon.
- Is that so? - Yep, you just wait.
Sarge, you got a sec?
- That's about all I got. Hi. - Hi.
Why would Murphy be so interested in this Malloy guy?
It was his testimony that convicted him.
He was a good cop, but he had one bad day.
Thought he could clean up this town all by himself.
Pressure caught up, he took it out on a suspect, put him in a hospital.
They sure threw the book at him.
The media and the politicians made sure of that. They were like sharks at the feeding frenzy.
Look at his prison record, it's spotless.
App for parole 3 times, turned down every time.
What? That can't be. I should've been called as a character witness.
Damn.
Look who was warden then.
If it isn't our old pen pal, J. Michael Trenton?
- You're saying Murphy was checking up on Malloy last night? - Yep.
Do me a favor, keep an eye on Murphy.
Sorry I took so long. There was a nasty pileup on the information highway.
- What's up, Alex? - I need a city-wide scan on a tag I made last night.
The vigilante, you tagged him?
- Yes. - All right, something interesting for a change.
- I'm on my way. - Diana!
Can you access Buchanan Max parole records?
Sorry, Alex, they're not part of my system.
- Why? - Just curious.
What exactly are you driving at, Mr. Trenton?
It's all in my latest statistics, sir.
Gambling and related criminal activity are down by more than 40%
since the vigilante hit Braga's arena.
- And you're suggesting... - I am strongly suggesting, sir,
that we look the other way and let vigilante do what he's been doing.
He has no affiliation with OCP, his actions don't reflect on us,
and look at the results he gets.
So you think the vigilante is positive?
Is that correct, Mr. Trenton?
- The figures don't lie, Mr. Chairman. - Uh-huh, yes, yes.
Give me today's What's On Your Mind, 55 to 60.
Umberto, there's a man out there who's trying to kill us.
We are not criminals.
We are businessmen.
I sell healthy sandwiches to hungry working men in Old Detroit.
And delicious Boffo The Clown ice-cream to the little children.
The police out there are doing nothing to protect us.
They don't care about the children.
They don't care about the hungry working men.
This is because we are foreigners. They want us all to go back to where we came from.
They allow this madman to stalk us.
So, if you can, Reggie Braga, Vlad Molotov,
share with our viewers and myself, Umberto Ortega,
what you have decided to do about this injustice.
- We're merging our companies. - Strength through unity!
Your vigilante has just created the largest crime cartel
in Detroit's history.
Do you like figures, Mr. Trenton?
Well, we estimate the resulting rise in illegal gambling
is going to cost the OCP lotto almost 2 billion in revenue.
What have you to say to that?
Buchanan Max, warden Delvecchio!
Private line!
J. Michael?
Tell Tin Man he's taking a meeting with Boffo the Clown tonight
and nobody walks away from this one!
Alex, I picked up a weak signal from your tag.
He just passed a satellite dish on a roof at 1040 Whittaker.
Thank you, Diana.
Boffo the Clown represent the finest in illegal gambling.
The people trust Boffo the Clown. I don't want you messing with that image.
I will think of it. You got my word on it...
- Stitch. - I told you, nobody calls me Stitch!
Nobody! Do you hear that?
Nobody calls me Stitch! Especially not you!
I want him dead! Kill him!
Guns, guns, guns! There you go being stupid again.
The first rule of good business is: Don't kill your partner!
I apologize for being too fascinated by that big ugly scar in your face!
Blow him away!
Please clear the area!
Come on, let's get out of here!
Surrender, Malloy.
I don't want to hurt you.
Help me... I... don't want to be like this.
Tim, what happened to you?
What am I going to do? There's gonna be an investigation.
What if Malloy glitches? They'll find out everything!
We have broken a ton of laws, Larry. It's gonna get real nasty from here on in.
They could put us both away for attempted murder at the very least!
And worse than that, the old man is getting rid of me. It's all over the offices.
I'm out of the loop, Larry. I can't protect you anymore.
You are on your own, baby. Do what you have to.
I'll take care of Malloy.
Malloy.
Do you remember Alex Murphy?
I... I...
Murphy was killed.
Yes.
Check this out.
- Wow! - Yeah.
- Pretty high-tech. - Yeah, it's on par with Robocop system.
And look at this.
Jesus!
What are you doing? What are you doing?
A fabric some sort of unstable molecular weave,
absorbs up impact like a sponge.
This thing could take a bazooka round and still keep a crease.
You're looking at the cutting edge of Security Concepts experimental weapons division.
There's no way in the world that Malloy escaped prison with this kind of firepower without somebody's help.
I'm gonna find that somebody.
Wait here a minute.
Robo, it's time.
- How is he? - He is not himself.
- Prison can do that to a man. - Not like this.
There is something else.
Look, Murphy, he was a good cop...
But he made a mistake and he paid for it.
He paid too much.
Ah, one Delvecchio! Detective Madigan, Metro South.
Hi! Could you come back in a couple of hours? Tomorrow, maybe?
Oh, tomorrow's not good for me.
I'm on the Malloy case, I was hoping you could answer a few questions.
- W-w-what kind of questions? - Big ones.
Like, how did he escape a maximum security prison without it being reported?
Gadg!
Are all those yours?
So this is where all my change went.
But Gadg, I'm not missing this much.
I... I borrowed some.
When I win, I'm going to pay everyone back. The grand prize is 10 million big ones!
I was gonna buy you your boat, and Lisa a motorcycle.
And something for Robocop, I don't know what but something...
- Please don't be mad at me, okay? - Hey, hey, come here.
I'm not mad.
Gadg, you fell for the oldest hook in the book.
There's no easy money in real life.
All these people here, they work real hard for their money.
You don't see them looking for the quick payoff now, do you?
What you did is no different than the kids who get sucked into street gambling.
And you know that's wrong, don't you?
Sure, but this is different. It's legal.
Yeah, it's legal. But you stole to play it.
And that's not legal. Now you know what I want you to do?
I want you to go tell everyone that you borrowed money from that you are sorry
and that you're gonna pay them back. Okay?
- Okay. - Do it.
- I love you, Sarge. - I love you too.
Go do what I told you.
Hey, kid!
Howdy do, general?
Just here to empty the money machine.
- Could I borrow this hammer? - Help yourself, buddy.
Excuse me.
Hey-hey-hey!
What, are you crazy?
You keep your damn slot machines out of my precinct...
or you're gonna need a proctologist to find the next one.
Malloy was part of a weapons testing program?
Of course. Many of our inmates volunteer.
The testing program is the main source of Buchanan's funds.
- My predecessor's idea. - J. Michael Trenton?
- That's right. - Why didn't you report Malloy's escape?
I thought we could handle it internally.
Avoid embarrassment. My mistake.
Tell me, why did you put a man with a record of mental instability
in a weapons testing program?
- We took a chance. - You took a chance...
He was a cop, he had certain training we needed.
Training? I've seen your guinea pig ward man is a zombie.
He couldn't have done this on his own. He sits and waits for orders like a robot.
Now what the hell did you do to him?
I'm not clear to give you that information.
Well then, you tell me who can.
Otherwise I'm gonna make damn sure that you take full credit for this little project.
We're gonna have a lock on all the gambling in Old Detroit.
This is gonna make the OCP lottery look like a... church bingo.
Which, by the way, is something we are to look into.
I always thought the real money was in religion.
I'll put in on the board's agenda.
What do you want?
Who's going to visit us?
The vigilante escaped. And he knows where you are.
Oh, I'd say you have about...
15 minutes before he gets there.
- Who's this? - Me. I'm just a friend.
There's a detective after me, you've gotta help me out!
Sorry, Larr, no can do.
Got my pink disc.
I'm walking and none too soon.
This detective linked me to Malloy.
- If she gets me, she'll get you too. - You wanna bet?
I may have been the warden, but you were the psychiatrist with the big ideas.
Emotional amputation, you said.
Turn a man into a flesh-and-blood robot.
Oooh, CIA'd loved it.
Their funding put Buchanan Max in the black,
got me this nifty office,
but hey... where's the paper trail?
Bu... bu...
My authorizations were verbal.
And you can bet that the CIA's as clean as I am on this.
No, the only thing linking me to Malloy...
is Malloy.
And I took care of that loose end when I broke him out of the prison bus.
And thanks to Braga and Molotov.
Tin Man is about to be toast.
So... hasta la vista, Larry!
A wire? A wire?
That's right, a wire.
So, where's Malloy?
All units, all frequencies: Be on the lookout for the suspect Timothy Malloy.
Suspect was broken out of a prison bus by an unknown accomplice
while on route to Buchanan maximum security penitentiary.
Approach with extreme caution. Malloy is considered armed and dangerous.
And Malloy's rule number three:
You always look out for your partner. Always.
Sorry, Alex. I scanned the whole city, there's no sign of Malloy.
Somebody must've deactivated the tag you put on him.
He needs my help. I will find him.
Murphy!
Trenton just spilled his guts. He sent Malloy to Molotov's warehouse on Lakeshore. It's a set-up.
I'm on my way.
Give him.
Come on! Forget the peashooters!
What is Malloy's rule number one?
There's...
nothing...
better than... being a cop.
Cop.
Thank you...
partner.
Murphy? Murphy...
What did they do to us, Murph?
Right there.
I'll cover you, Murphy!
There's nothing better than being a cop!
Get him out... (?)
Over there, he's over there!
Take them, Murph!
Fire!
Police, everybody freeze!
Get back, come on, everybody!
- Okay, here we go, okay. - What did we do?
This is ridiculous! I'm innocent, I didn't do anything!
- He's busted in, why don't you get him? - Come on, can we do this other way?
- This is all your fault, Stitch! - I told you, don't call me Stitch!
Murphy, are you all right? Where's Malloy?
There.
Dispatch, send a search boat!
Malloy's rule number three:
Always look out...
for your partner.
