It's not like he killed someone. This is a violation of my client's civil rights. Make it "aggravated assault" and I can make bail, in cash, now. Listen, pal. Your client's a scumbag. You are a scumbag. Scumbags see the judge on Monday morning. 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. We work for a living down here, Murphy. Get your armour and suit up. Not now. Get a cup of coffee. - Stark, any word on Frederickson? - They're still listing him as critical. His wife must be going out of her mind. - Murphy, huh? - Yeah, that's me. Hi. - What brings you to this paradise? - Beats me. I think 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 are you from? - Metro South. Welcome to hell. Murphy! They cut ten guys loose over on the East Side. You try to get back up when you're in a jam. Yeah, try to get a medevac after you've been jammed. I'll tell you what we should do. We should strike. ♥♥♥♥ 'em. The funeral's tomorrow. The department requests all officers not on duty to attend. Any donations for the family may be given to Cecil, as usual. I don't wanna hear any more talk about strike. We're not plumbers. We're police officers. And police officers don't strike. Murphy, front and centre. Hello, tiger. Lewis! Come here when you've finished ♥♥♥♥♥♥' around with your suspect. This guy's gonna be your new partner. Murphy, meet Lewis. Show him the neighbourhood. - 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. Do you really think the Old Man is gonna be there? Why would they invite us? All division heads are bringing their support teams. It's big. They must be green-lighting Delta City. Are you kidding? They never work ahead of schedule. It's Jones. He's got the 209 series on line and now he wants to show off. - That's a tough break, Bob. - What? What? When ED-209 ran into serious delays and cost overruns, the Old Man ordered a backup plan. Probably just to light a fire under Jones's ass. - Old Bob here gets the assignment. - Yeah. Nobody in Security Concepts takes it seriously. It's a better plan. ♥♥♥♥♥♥' Jones. I'd go to the Old Man if I could. Don't mess with Jones. He'll make sushi out of you. - Be careful. I hear Jones is a real shark. - Who asked you, twerp? What about this police thing? Their union's been ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ since we took over. The usual nonsense. 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, and it must be cut out before we employ the two million workers that will revive this city. Yes. Shifts in the tax structure have created an 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 have gambled in markets traditionally regarded as nonprofit. Hospitals, prisons, space exploration. I say good business is where you find it. As you know, we have a contract with the city 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 gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the future of law enforcement. ED-209. The Enforcement Droid, series 209, is a self-sufficient law-enforcement robot. but that is only the beginning. After a successful tour of duty in Old Detroit, we can expect 209 to become the hot military product for the next decade. - Dr McNamara. - We'll need an arrest subject. - Mr Kinney, would you give us a hand? - Yes, sir. Mr Kinney is going to 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'd better do what he says, Mr Kinney. You now have 15 seconds to comply. You are in direct violation of Penal Code 113, section nine. You now have five seconds to comply. Four, three, two, one. I am now authorised to use physical force. Somebody wanna call a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ paramedic? Let's go, Johnson. Did you pull the plug on this thing? Don't touch him. Don't touch him! - He didn't hear the gun drop. - He didn't hear it? ♥♥♥♥, I'm very disappointed. I'm sure it's only a glitch. A temporary setback. You call this a glitch? We begin construction in six months. Your "setback" could cost us $50 million in interest payments alone. Not necessarily. Perhaps you know of the RoboCop programme, developed by myself at Security Concepts as a contingency against this? - Thank you, Mr Morton. I'm sure this... - Now wait a minute. ♥♥♥♥! Maybe what we need here is a fresh perspective. Tell me about your plan. How long will it take? We're ready to go. We've restructured the police department with prime candidates. I'm confident we can go to prototype within 90 days. Good. Get your staff together. I'll expect a full presentation in 20 minutes. Thank you, sir. Yes! That's how it's done in the big leagues. You see an opening and go for it. Watch your back, Bob. Jones is gonna come looking for you. ♥♥♥♥ 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.
