Robocop (1994) s01e09 Episode Script

Faces of Eve

1
When will you people understand
that I, Apollinaire Monet, have solved
the riddle that baffled the giants.
Marie Curie, Einstein.
Max Factor.
DNA-reorganization, ladies and
gentlemen, the secret of Eve.
As your insipid
commercial proclaims
See it to believe it!
Here it is, doctor.
The Eve unit is ready.
It has been activated.
You see, the module instantly registers
neuro-image of my assistant Dr. Proctor's face.
Now, based on his facial
topography, his choices,
called from a
factory-installed database.
Ah, oui, oui.
This one seems to be the Dr.
Proctor of his dreams.
Wouldn't you say?
Now we simply attach the
Eve-patch and observe.
It'll make a fortune.
Fool!
The firma-toner!
What's going on, Monet?
No cause for alarm, Dr. Proctor
simply forgot his firma-toner.
Didn't he?
It's my fault, my fault.
I am sorry.
Firma-toner?
Exactly, to firm up
the transformation.
Voila.
With an ampule included in each
unit, Eve works flawlessly.
For three full hours.
Are you telling us that OCP invested 50 million
dollars for a product that lasts 3 hours?
But don't you see?
That is the whole point.
Fruit gum?
Not now, we've got work to do.
I've bestowed upon Eve what every genius
strives to bestow upon his creations:
Built-in obsolescence.
How, ladies and gentlemen, will your
average deeply unattractive consumer react
when, after 3 hours of blissful beauty,
the bloom falls off the rose?
Almost got it one
more number and
Open, Sesame!
And you're sure it's safe?
Oui. A resounding oui!
Well, I think I can speak on
behalf of all of us here
when I say that Omni-Consumer Products is proud
to be associated with a man of such vision
and integrity as Dr.
Apollinaire Monet.
How do you think I'd look with
a little more profound
What's the matter, you've
never seen a dame before?
Shorty! Shorty, it's you?
You're gorgeous!
Really? I think I'm
in love with myself!
These things really work?
I tell you, Leo, crime
will never be the same!
Yeah.
Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
Dream the person you want to be,
then be.
OCP's Aesthetica division
proudly announces Eve, the
visage enhancement module.
Now without surgery you can be
as beautiful as your dreams.
See it to believe it!
For women and men.
Eve from Aesthetica, another fine
division of Omni-Consumer Products.
As beautiful as my dreams.
This is Robocop, urging all
children to stay in school
and stay out of trouble.
And Pudface Morgan urges
Robo-twerp to get out of my face!
My beautiful new Eve face
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.
Charlie!
Give me a straight answer: Can
I work Robo without his break?
What? When?
Now.
I need him, Charlie, at the criminal court
building ceremony's security for judge Hall.
Orders.
Well, I should just check the manual, I'm sure
there's something on emergency procedure in there.
Chapter 16, paragraph 6.
Which says?
"When called upon"
"I'm ready."
Here it is, chapter 16, paragraph
6, it says definitely not!
Why would I bother?
Come and get it!
Spaghetti and meatballs.
Extra spicy.
I love those spicy meatballs.
Dr. Monet!
I thought you should know. Autoinventory
shows two Eve modules missing.
Plus several cartons of firma-toner.
Now, it occured to me
Proctor, do you really
have nothing better to do?
But what if we've had a break-in? We haven't even considered
what could happen if Eve fell into criminal hands.
People could die
Will you stop this nonsense?
Eve does not kill, people do!
Now get out of here!
Boss will bust out anytime now.
He'd probably turn himself into a warden
Press and stroll through the front door.
I'm thinking we should give him a little "coming-home"
present. Like taking care of that judge who set him up!
Judge Hall? Are you nuts?
That dedication thing will
be crawling with cops.
Well, I've got something
they won't be looking for.
Gotta hand it to you Shorty,
that's the best one yet!
Your presence here today, that the decimation
dedication of the new criminal court's building
is a gesture of commitment
to your community.
Daddy!
All of us, exalted and
humble, rich and poor,
young and not so young,
stand here today unified
and united
in a crusade for truth, justice and
many other wonderful things.
We must always be on our guard,
ever vigilant, we
must stand like
Danger! Move away
from this carriage!
Get out of way!
- Got you!
- Damn it, kid, get off of me!
Excuse me, ma'am.
Afternoon, warden Press!
So long, suckers!
It's time for
Commander Cash!
Mom and Dad out in
the town again?
Well, here's your
home-alone buddy!
Commander Cash's
Nighty Nite pal!
So soft and comforting!
But just pull the
pin on the back
and Nighty Nite pal becomes a
bomb!
Nighty night!
Mom and Dad, don't leave them home alone unless
they have Commander Cash's Nighty Nite pal!
Available at toy stores and
armament shops everywhere!
In sports today. The Tigers dealt pitcher Eddie Mozart to
the Moscow Mighty Cossacks for a player to be named later.
Mozart had been demanding a raise
to 300,000 dollars a pitch,
but the Tigers refused to go
any higher than two-fifty.
So Old Detroit says farewell
to a great left-hander, Bo.
Looks like it, Rocky.
Hard to imagine
Mozart as a Cossack.
You pig-wits, you fuzz-brains!
But boss, we thought you'd want us to
blow up the judge which sent you away.
No judge set me up, it's
Robocop that set me up!
That's the one I want!
And, thanks to my old prison mate Dr.
Cray Mallardo,
I'm gonna nail him.
And what's that thing?
I'd explain it to you, Shorty,
only you're too short.
It's over your head, get it?
And this is just in. A startling new development in
the assassination attempt of judge Clarence Hall.
On-the-spot coverage by our MediaBreak
video team has enabled experts
to trace the gunshot that wounded judge
Hall to its exact point of origin,
as we see here.
Incredibly, the would-be
assassin appears to be
Hey, that's me! And that's
the kid I fell over!
MediaBreak has also discovered a
possible eyewitness to the assault.
- You fell over that kid?
- Yeah, there's his name.
Jimmy Murphy.
A copy of this video has already
been turned in to the authorities.
Just tell me one thing!
Did you open your big mouth?
What exactly did you see?
I don't know, it was crazy. People
were running and screaming,
and some kid knocked me down.
Only he didn't sound
like a kid
Oh my God!
Mom, relax, what's wrong?
You were just shown on
TV as an eyewitness!
If the person you saw is
the one who did this
What are we gonna do?
I'm going to call
Sergeant Parks.
I don't care how you do it,
I just want you to go out
and find that Murphy kid!
Just 'cause he heard my voice? So what
if he figures out I'm a grown man?
That's the problem, Shorty.
You ain't grown.
How many other gangs in this town have
a runt like you as a trigger man?
Well, let's see
- No
- Not?
The answer is none,
you tin bats!
Now go get that kid!
Right now?
Were you expecting someone?
No.
Five minutes with your son! A five minute exclusive with a Syndication
Video of all rights and all top any offer of other teams!
What do you say?
Five minutes, huh?
Go away!
Name your price!
Get out of here!
Come on, mom, the back door!
Two minutes, one comment,
one lousy comment!
They're getting away!
What the hell did
I tell them for?
Wait for me!
I just love a man in uniform.
Cops! Too late!
Maybe not.
What do you mean?
They're gone.
Hey look, there's a cop
car right in front.
Thank God!
Fruit gum?
Not now.
Wow, it's the Robocruiser!
Come on, Jimmy, let's get inside.
Those people might come back.
Who cares, Robocop's here.
Jimmy!
Jimmy!
Somebody help me!
- Let go of him!
- Come on! Come on!
Jimmy!
Let go of him!
Help me!
I've got him, let's go!
Jimmy!
Stop them, they took my son!
Jimmy!
- Why didn't you stop them?
- I could not risk your son's safety.
But I will find him.
Get him!
Hose bag!
Kids
Trouble, boss!
That robot put a tracker on the van.
You want to us to ditch it?
And fast, you pint-size punk!
Can't you do anything right?
Go through the door!
Delay that, Shorty, and
get up here pronto.
I'm about to be brilliant.
Dr. Monet! Let me in!
Go away, Proctor, go
take your firma-toner!
I've been taking it, doctor, I
think we might've overdone it!
Please, it's an emergency!
I cannot tolerate any further the
intrusions on my extremely valuable
Mon Dieu!
Robocop, come help me!
I'm up here!
He went for it, boss.
Good.
Let me know when he gets there!
Jimmy!
Jimmy?
Robocop, it's me.
He's a man. Make him
talk, you'll see.
That's right, splat-head.
You'll see pretty!
Hey, let go of me!
Are you really gonna hit
a little kid, Robocop?
No.
You are under arrest.
Hang here.
Boy, am I glad to see you.
You are safe now.
Now!
Yes!
How's the view from
up there, flight boy?
Ready to do some sky-diving?
Yes!
You did it, boss,
you killed Robocop!
Don't kid yourself.
This robot's got more
lives than a hindu cat.
I know you can
hear me, tin head.
So here's the scoop.
No one's gonna patch
you up this time.
Because Mallardo and I had a little
chat while he was in the stir,
and he told me about your, what's
it, termination command sequence.
You know, the thing they
installed in case you go wrong.
I've got the
instructions right here.
So, you just lie there and flicker, robot,
while Pudface Morgan pulls your plug!
Come on!
How does it feel, boss?
Man, like it was made for me.
Fruit gum?
All units, stand by for
Leo, Leo, Leo! Get that!
Sergeant Parks, field
alert all units.
Pudface Morgan has escaped from the Henry
Ford center for the morally challenged.
Be on the lookout for this face.
You're wrong again, slap-flicks.
Be on the lookout
for your own face!
Robocop, can you hear me?
It's Jimmy Murphy.
I can help?
No.
My circuitry is complex.
Just tell me what to do!
I'm really good at fixing
things, you'll see!
Sergeant Parks to see the
Chairman.
I'm, uh, in plain clothes today.
Confidential police business.
Doctor, what are we going to do?
Don't worry, we'll work out
your little problem together.
You'll be fine! Trust me!
Now cover up.
Are you insane, Parks?
Have you lost your mind?
Think about your pension, man!
When I get through here, you ain't gonna
have the dough to cover my pension!
What do you mean?
What are you doing?
Where did you get that?
It was in my Christmas stocking.
Wait a minute
You're not Sergeant Parks!
Who are you?
You tell me, Mr. Chairman!
Each connector must
be reattached
to its terminal.
Yeah, I got it.
Be careful.
Do not touch the
exposed elements.
Are you kidding?
Anybody knows that.
Are you all right?
You moved! You gotta stay still.
There.
That's it.
How's it working?
We can do no more.
You want me to call Metro South?
Yes, but first I must
reach the chairman.
But they took your car.
There is a blue truck behind me.
I can hotwire it.
Uh a friend showed me how.
Such people are
not true friends.
However
I'll drive.
All right now, I've got Mallardo's instructions
on how to get in to the information highway.
First of all I
raise the module.
Now I raise the eye-peek
According to Mallardo, all I gotta
do is look into this thing.
Do you have any notion of
the risk you're taking?
Hey, you've got no faith
in your own product?
I stand behind Eve a 100%,
but even a slightest
retinal discrepancies
- and a laser beam will
shatter your brain.
Oh well
as grandma Morgan used to say:
"Life's a gamble."
Right?
Right.
Tell you what
let's raise the stakes!
If I don't pass this
test, neither do you!
All right.
Initiate
retina scan.
As granny also used to say:
"Bingo"!
All right now
Initiate
the termination sequence.
Think what you're doing, man!
Robocop's a hero!
A role model! A beacon of hope!
He's worth a hundred
million dollars.
You're breaking my heart.
Are you kidding?
Robocop, stop him!
You are under arrest.
Okay, okay! Come and get me!
If you can make it!
Don't stop, Robocop! Go on!
What's the matter, tin head?
You're feeling a little fuzzy?
Pudface Morgan
Surrender.
I don't think so, Robostiff.
Timber!
He's all fallen down.
And this time he ain't
never getting up!
Robocop is now Robojunk.
I did it! Me, Pudface Morgan!
I killed Robocop!
Excuse me sir, the managers
are here for the meeting.
You tell them I'll
be right there.
And you tell them also I
got some laryngitis today.
I'll be back, and I'll
get maintenance
to recycle this trash.
Go on, Robo!
Go on, Robo!
Diana!
What's going on?
Diana
Alex!
I am being terminated.
We'll see about that.
Wow, this is moving fast!
Just hang up, Alex!
I'll keep you going until
we figure something out.
Get Lippencot.
Charlie, quick! Somebody's
sending you a message!
My God!
- No, no!
- What does it mean?
Robocop's dying!
If the termination sequence reaches its final phase, his human
brain stem will separate from its connectors and he'll be lost!
So do something! Save him!
Right, right, save Robo
The back door! I could
use the back door.
- Great. What is it?
- Well, the original program
always puts in a backdoor command in case
he needs to regain control of the system.
Now, if I could enter Robo's core that way, I
could deactivate the termination sequence.
Do it!
Oh, what am I saying? I can't
do it, the sequence's too weak.
You can, Charlie! Just think!
Right, you're right.
Think, think
If I had a stronger
satellite hookup
The OCP satellite uplink
would be perfect!
Except they'll never
let me use it.
Sure they will.
Sarge!
Sarge, come quick!
So, I'm thinking it's
time to make some moves.
Shake up the competition.
But sir,
we have no competition.
Maybe that's the problem. And don't
interrupt me when I'm talking!
So
give me a list of all the company
assets that I can dump!
What's with him?
Is it any better, doctor?
Oh, oui, oui, definitely,
we've done the corner now.
Now just rest. Rest.
I can't get through
to the chairman!
Those damn OCP bureaucrats won't
authorize sat-time without him.
But the signal's fading,
we need that power.
Charlie, you can hack
into the satnet!
Yes, but that's illegal.
Are you kidding me?
Come on, Charlie!
What? What, what, what?
Sir, law enforcement has never been expected
to match the profits of our other divisions.
Why should they be different?
A little manpower cut
will even things up!
Mr. Chairman, please
The public order is
For real change
we all! We all! We
all gotta sacrifice!
Um excuse me.
I've got an allergy.
Addition scanning into the frames
of satellite tracking the Robocop.
- Please!
- Come on, come on!
Don't you die on me, Alex!
I'll hunt you forever,
that's a promise!
That's it! The back door.
We're in! We're in!
Yes!
Nice going, Charlie.
- All right!
- All right, okay.
He did it!
Alex, Charlie did it!
It's getting crowded in here.
Thank you, Diana.
Hey, I just held on.
Charlie did the real work.
Man, do I need a
firma-toner fix!
That was almost embarrassing.
What are you gawking at?
Speaking as a consumer, this product has some serious
drawbacks. You ought to do something about it.
Ah, forget it!
I'll do something about it!
Just say no.
Not the face!
Give us three minutes, and
we'll give you the world.
This is MediaBreak with Bo
Harlan and Rocky Crenshaw.
Big news on the corporate front, as OCP announced the
cancellation of its heralded new beauty-aid, Eve.
The announcement came on the day Eve was
scheduled to debut in the marketplace.
An OCP spokesperson sighted
a need for further testing.
And in a related story,
doctor Apollinaire Monet,
fame cosmetitian and
creator of Eve,
was dismissed today from OCP amidst
allegations of criminal fraud.
Tough times at OCP, Bo.
They'll bounce back, Rocky,
we can all be sure of that.
You said it.
We're now going live to the courthouse where
judge Clarence Hall is honoring a young hero.
To Jimmy Murphy for his courageous assistance
to an engendered endangered officer.
Thank you for helping my son.
He is a fine young man.
Yes.
I think his father would
be very proud of him.
I am sure of it.
Oh, look!
