It's time for Commander Cash!
Oh yeah? My dad helps research head wounds.
How about yours, Bobby?
Um he cleans up the garage.
Ashamed of your father, Bobby?
Well, let's go talk to dad!
Enough moping, citizen! Time to
do your duty to the community!
You're going to help science.
Wow, dad! You're the best!
Be your kid's superhero!
Be a super test volunteer!
Since the animal protection active 2015, science
has depended on human volunteers for testing.
Please help by selflessly giving
your weekends as a test subject.

Our top story tonight: Power rationing cripples
Old Detroit for the 4th straight week.
Looters and stompers
rampage in the streets.
OCP spokesperson Aubrey
Fox has this to say:
Due to unforeseen shortfalls,
power rationing is unavoidable.
But make no mistake. OCP's commitment
to Old Detroit is unshakable.
Preserving its quaint neighborhoods,
its historic buildings.
Normal power service will return as soon as
possible but for now hang in there, Old Detroit.
I can't get my breath, mom Normal power service will
return as soon as possible but for now hang in, Old Detroit.
I can't get my breath, mom
Dad will be back soon, and
then we'll see what we can do.
You're healing up just fine.
Zone 5, it's that
time again, curfew,
and a big switch in
exactly 30 seconds.
Inside, everyone,
buck up real tight!
Let's show the world what we
are made of, Old Detroit!
25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19,
18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13
12, 11, 10, 9, 8,
7, 6, 5, 4, 3
2, 1. Good night!
Troopers!
The dark time is on us!
You all know what that means.
Old Detroit is
open for business!
This is wrong.
I hope you're proud of yourself.
It's a question of
hard choices, Diana.
This has nothing to do
with choices, it's policy.
Delta City spends money, Old
Detroit pays the bills.
Nonsense. OCP's commitment to
Old Detroit is unshakable.
Preserving its quaint buildings,
its historic neighborhoods
Yeah, I heard Aubrey Fox, too.
It's the truth.
Whose truth?
If you would come down from this tower once
in a while, you'd know what the word means.
For your information,
I get daily reports.
Numbers, statistics. I am talking about
people, real flesh-and-blood people.
Of course, you'd
know all about that.
That was a low blow.
It is.
I'm sorry.
What you need is a good
kick in the conscience.
And we're going to
give it to you.
We?
The world from street level.
What in blazes are
you talking about?
A ride-along.
A what? If you think
I've got the time
Just who's the boss
around here, anyway?
Let's roll.
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.
Wow!
So, this is the
real world, is it?
No wonder that the insurance companies
are so rich. It's a scandal.
OCP owns insurance companies.
Well of you, but
that's not the point.
It worked!
Hey, don't all my inventions work
most of the time.
Look who's back!
You've fixed him!
You bet I did.
Tell me it's not so!
Okay, it's not so.
What are you talking about? It's
right here in black and white.
He left word on a comlink.
Who left word? What are
you talking about?
The chairman. He's off with Robocopie.
He calls it "a ride-along".
What? He can't do that!
No-no-no, he's done it. The chairman of
the 4th largest corporation on Earth
I mean, Robocop. This is no time for
a ride-along, I need him out there!
Look right here, Captain!
Didn't we take that, their
money-spitter, out just the other night?
Back in service, and
home on its own power.
It's downright commendable
what it is, Tyree.
From now on, we do all
our banking here.
Sound the charge!
Your transaction is complete! Thank
you for using banks of Delta
What's happened?
Alarm, Whitehurst is having a "B".
A bank machine.
A competitor's, I hope.
Robocop has gone to green.
My God!
It's okay, Fox, he's answering the call.
It's red you got to worry about.
Get on to the garage, see if you can scan me
up some extra cruisers, anything that moves.
It's hefty crazy in there,
the zone is howling tonight.
He looks worse.
The immune suppressors aren't taking.
His body is rejecting the allograph.
The doc said that
wasn't gonna happen.
Sure she did, maybe she even believed it.
Get your head out of the clouds, Joe.
Josh needed new lungs, the doc got us some, we're
not exactly in a position of pick and choose.
No, we're not, are we?
I'm sorry, Joe.
I'm not blaming you,
you've done all you could.
But it's not enough, is it?
It's never quite enough.
Don't say that!
Come here.
What happens if I push this?
A little girl
disappears, believe it.
How does it look?
We'll have to go through computer,
too much traffic, I can't
Then do it!
That's why we have
the bloody thing.
Bea, you don't have to carry this
division all by yourself, understood?
Sure, Sarge, it's just
Don't worry, I'm fine.
We're all fine, right, Fox?
Ah, yeah.
It is one of ours!
Damn their hides!
They they not only took the
money, they stripped the circuits,
the wires and the installation.
They're damn cannibals!
It's not electricity this city
needs, it's bigger jails.
What was that?
Gunfire.
Three blocks east.
A person needs a suit of
armor out here, like yours.
Sorry, Murphy, no offence.
None taken.
I wonder how many people would trade their
places with you if they really understood.
The leading edge of technology
but inside
Sometimes I wonder how you make
it through the day, my boy.
Duty.
And memories.
Don't worry, sweetheart, we're
gonna get you to the hospital.
Stompers!
On our way, Josh
Nothing to it.
A stony structure.
There's copper here and loot.
Now troopers, remember who you
are and what you stand for!
Any man don't meet his quota
and I'll personally whip his
butt from here to Taiwan.
I'm sorry, dad.
Hang on, buddy!
Okay, boys and girls,
do your worst!
Ma'am?
And you got guts to green
out, you pogo. (?)
We've got a sick boy here.
Oh, that's a shame, mister.
It surely is.
But where'd I be if I had let
that sort of thing getting away?
So, where do we start?
With me.
Well, well, if it ain't Robodoo!
Robocop. And you
are under arrest.
Shutting down upper extremity control
circuits. Excessive feedback overload.
Diagnostic summary: Lower limbs 20% mobile.
Upper limbs 5% mobile.
Weapon systems inactive.
We've gotta get him outta here.
It might be better if
Listen, whoever you are!
In one minute those stompers will figure out they've
won the first round and come back with a knock-out.
Robocop saved us. You owe
somebody, you pay him back.
A 20% mobile limbs is better
than 0%, so let's get him up!
Robocop has gone to red. I
repeat, Robocop is red!
I knew it. I knew it
You don't look like a cop.
A cop?
I'm not a cop. I'm a
journalist.
Come on, Robo!
There you go.
It's an unmitigated disaster.
The chairman of OCP
lost in this hellhole.
You mean historical Detroit?
That's not funny, Sergeant. I don't think you fully
realize the scale of this of this catastrophe.
And I'll tell you one thing: I'm not taking a fall
for this, oh no, I said right from the beginning
Listen, Fox!
Under the circumstances, why don't you do
us both a big favor and just stuff it?
I know you're excited, and
I know you don't mean it.
Metro, now this is Sergeant Parks.
We're here.
The cruisers are totaled, and
nothing else.
And Robocop?
Officer missing.
Robo's gone, and the
old man with him.
Captain! Captain!
What is this place?
A casualty.
A lot of good
people worked here.
My father, one of them.
OCP said they couldn't compete. People
with good skills lost on a scrapping. (?)
There's a price to progress.
See, Captain? I told ya!
Didn't I tell ya? See? See?
Robot's in trouble. This
might be our lucky night.
Stomp him when he's down, just as you say, stomp him
when he's down. You know, but only this time
Only what?
Well, even all bummed up, this
guy's a pretty tough hombre.
I'm just wondering maybe we need
some reinforcements, you know?
Trooper Tyree, for once your shorted
circuits are making some sense.
You mean it? You really mean it?
Sound the call! I want every son of
a sewer rat crawl into this zone!
It's payback time!
I wasn't expecting no party.
Here.
Skid Josh over here.
Let's get down here.
That's Norton, some of the
skills I was talking about.
That's Robocop! Why is he
Tipped off from a ram truck.
We were trying to get Josh
to Mediplex in Delta City.
Robocop and Mr
Jones.
Mr. Jones here, bailed us out
of a jam of some stompers.
What in the world are those?
TG's.
Turbogenerator. Run on
practically anything.
This one's running
on food scraps.
That's extraordinary.
Everything in is based
on old technology.
If every living unit in Old Detroit had one of
these, we wouldn't be so helpless right now.
We've been so busy plowing ahead with high-tech
solutions for non-existing problems
we forgot what we already knew.
Like the banner says.
Hey, pal. You don't
remember me, do you?
Should I?
I'll tell you something, Mr.
Jones!
You walking in here is kind of, like,
the opportunity of a lifetime.
I don't think I understand.
Well, let me explain it to you!
Have you gone crazy?
He deserves it.
Mr. Jones, my butt!
He's a chairman of OCP!
The chairman?
Enough! Stop it, Norton!
He's the guy who closed
this plant down!
What's it matter who he is?
The important thing is Josh,
getting him help before
his lungs give out.
I'm grateful to you, and I
hope Joe can fix you up.
But I want you to understand
I understand.
Now let's get thinking.
We don't have a lot of time.
Now listen to me, Sergeant. If the people in the zone
find out that Robocop is down, there will be a panic.
Yeah, you got that right.
And we can't let them. All we have to do is leave it to me, I
know exactly what to do. It's just the matter of the right spin.
Who the hell do you
think you are?
Haven't the people in Old
Detroit been lied to enough?
All your promises, your plans, the
modernizing that never comes
Did you ever think we might
be able to take it straight?
Of course. You misunderstand
me, you see, I, I
And you.
You live here. Sure, you can bring Gadget to where
it's safe, but what about the other people out there?
That's where my kid is! My
whole family out there!
That's where I'm going.
Stop her, Parks, we
can't let her leave!
Bea! Bea! Beatrice!
Save it!
A word gets out about Robocop,
it won't come from me.
I know that.
And what I want to say is, if it were my family out there,
I would do the same thing. Now, you watch yourself!
- I want you back.
- Okay.
Oh, sorry, Bea.
Parks, I distinctly
remember you said
Charlie, take over!
What?
We're switching back to manual,
keep me posted. Gadget!
Hang out and keep
an eye on things.
Allright, okay, so, I'll get started
on the press-release right away.
Yeah, you do that, Fox, and
don't keep me posted, please.
Allright, well, this shouldn't
be that difficult
Don't worry, I'll show you.
Yeah. Well, the day I need
lessons from a pipsqueak
What's that? What do we do?
- There.
- What?
I'm rusty, that's all.
- You'll be okay.
- Yeah, I know I will.
You're sick too, aren't you?
Yes.
You wanna see my clown?
It plays.
My dad made it.
Your dad is clever.
I know. He can fix anything.
Maybe he can fix you.
Perhaps.
Maybe you just need some
new parts or something.
That's what happened to me.
And I was okay
for a while.
You are a brave boy.
I have a friend
When I grow up, I'm gonna
be just like you, dad.
Jimmy. He is your age.
What kind of stuff you
and Jimmy talk about?
We do not talk now.
That's too bad.
I wish I could
help you, Robocop.
You have.
Troopers!
There's nights, when
the moon hangs high
and the copper cables
run forever
and the streets open up like
tulips, waiting to be plucked
nights of full pockets
and free women.
Nights we do have in the
cold and empty darkness.
This is such a night.
And troopers, this is the night when Robocop
climbs aboard the Boothill express!
We've decided.
I'll try to reach Metro South.
That's the other
end of the zone!
Yeah, but when I tell them I can lead
them to Robocop, we'll get action.
I might even throw in your
name, see what it's worth
A good idea. But I'm the one who's going.
Your place is here with your family.
Besides, I'm not
some helpless puppy!
You wouldn't stand a chance.
Hey, he wants to go, let him.
You can't save a
fool from himself.
The chairman is right.
Joe and I must work here.
That'd be far enough, big fella!
Hey now
I know you.
I've seen you on the TV.
What a pack of 'eat your heart out' I do
believe I banged in the big chief! (?)
Give us three minutes, and
we'll give you the world!
This is Media Break, with Bo
Harlan and Rocky Crenshaw.
During the continuing crisis in Old Detroit your Media
Break team is here, 24 hours a day working just for you.
Right, Rocky?
Right, Bo.
And this just in from California. The Armageddon society has again
rescheduled the end of the world, this time for next Friday.
The spokesperson explained that they had not
accounted for the fact that this is a leap year.
Not more bad news, I hope, Bo?
I'm afraid so, Rocky.
An unconfirmed report that Old Detroit's crime fighter
extraordinaire, Robocop, is missing in action.
Hard to believe.
You don't suppose Robocop would've
taken a vacation, do you, Bo?
Perhaps we can make a deal
I don't trade with
the other side.
Take my
Nice work!
How did you know?
Pretty damn clear you couldn't last
two seconds in the real world.
A stomper Not good.
Not good
The stompers were out there.
They tracked us.
Norton is keeping watch.
How's he doing?
We're working on the problem.
You're working on the answer. The only way we're
leaving here in one piece is behind Robocop.
Believe it.
The word is out on Robocop.
Okay, okay, let me deal with this. This
calls for a little finesse allright?
Excuse me.
And now, people, my name is Aubrey
Fox, you've probably seen me on TV.
I'm here to personally assure you that everything is under
control It's nothing serious, you have my word
Okay, I patched the servo in the
right arm, it's no big deal.
The actuators are okay, we start working in the
stretch. Now, real problem is the power source.
Go into it, I will
talk you through.
Now begin with the braincase.
Now wait a minute, I'm a mechanic,
I'm not a brain surgeon.
Remember what you already know.
And anyone who could design and build those TG's
has all the know-how we need around here, Joe.
Look, if I louse it
up, he may never
We've all faced a time when we have to take
a step beyond what we knew for certain.
Now's your time, Joe.
That big, one of these days you
were always telling me about
I guess it's here.
Good work, Fox,
you're a natural.
Those people are animals. They
don't deserve an explanation.
Pleasure watching
your work, Fox.
Parks, I'm not impressed with the security.
Those people could've killed me.
Okay.
The patch cord's checkout.
What's this flat thing?
The interface between
brain and bionic systems.
If the brain link is
malfunctioning, you will have
Yes. I get it.
My bet, there's a rupture somewhere
in the main power transmission.
Right about here.
Yes.
There it is.
Look, I can try to bridge
the damage cable
But?
I'll have to shut you down.
You'd need to show me.
It's long odds.
Do it.
Hold on!
We don't have time for
we do about this, Robocop and
myself, in private, please!
Murphy, I approved your design.
A shutdown here, out of a
controlled environment
Your brain boosts, the implants that control
bionic function might return to normal,
but Murphy, a man, may
be erased, all of him.
Memories You may not
even know your own name
or that you ever had one.
To be human is to risk.
Don't worry Robocop, my
dad can do anything.
Here we go.
They're here! Right on my tail.
Now, we find out
Let's move out!
Go, go!
There he is.
Let's go.
I knew it! I never gave up hope!
Is something wrong?
I'm not sure.
Half in, out on the left
flank, the rest follow me!
Are you interested, old man?
Why not?
Let's hit them where they live.
Let's.
Squad one, upstairs!
Two, down there, block it off!
We'll shut it down!
Yes! Now we're even!
The hell we are!
What's Murphy doing?
The showdown. But I'm
not sure it's Murphy.
You and me, cowboy!
Partner, you're headed
for the last roundup.
Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman!
Thank God you're safe, sir!
Although I never doubted you for a moment.
Believe me.
I've alerted the media because I knew you'd want
to share the details of your heroic stand, sir.
- Aubrey!
- Yes, sir?
Cut the crap, I'm
not in the mood.
Be careful, please! He's
been through so much.
We all have.
Joe, before you go, I I just want you and Amy to know that Josh
is going to get the best care the Transplant Mediplex has to offer.
No expense spared.
You have my personal guarantee.
Thank you.
There's just one other thing
those TG's of yours.
They're interesting
little doodads.
I presume you own the patent
We'll talk about it.
Don't forget.
Get inside!
Listen Robocop
The name
is Murphy.
Of course it is, my boy.
Of course it is.
