Corporate Raiders

- Beta-1, come in, Beta-1.
- Beta-1, go ahead.
Beta-1, Alpha-7 responding to silent
alarm, Martling&Stern Stockbrokers,
2040 Lock. Beta-1,
provide backup.
Beta-1, roger.
We need you to join
the corporate guard!
Business is war,
and we're fighting for
nothing less than
- who owns America!
- Over 40% of our country
has been bought by
foreign investors.
- We need accountants and lawyers and office managers now!
- Count me in!
Now there goes a real patriot.
Stop where you are!
- Let's have them.
- Lock them up.
Hey, hey! What is this?
What's happening?
Freeze, you are under arrest!
I'm sorry, officer, but
we have to go, however
feel free to stick around.
- Everything's frozen! We're trapped!
- Help, we're trapped in here!
Nothing like a good night's
work to make a man feel proud.
- And as they say, when opportunity knocks
- don't knock the opportunity!
And so in the name of Big
Business Buddies everywhere,
congratulations, Eliott Feldman.
Wear this commodity's
leveraging badge with pride.
You earned it!
And now, the winner
of our next award
will join the ranks of what it
is to be the best in the BBB,
the Milkin Men! Come out, men, and
congratulate our newest winners!
Jimmy, stop squirming.
- Come on, grandma, I feel so dorky.
- It's a big honor.
I only wish your mother wasn't
out of town, she'd be so proud.
- She'll see it.
- And to present this next award,
I'm pleased as Punch to
introduce our guest of honor.
Will you please give a
rousing triple-B welcome
to the chairman of Omni
Consumer Products!
Thank you, thank you.
Well, I'm pleased as Punch
to be here, Mr. Waldo.
Especially as I've been asked to present
this year's award for best essay
on the importance of business
language in corporate society.
I know you're all as anxious
as I am to know the winner.
And so, the winner is
Jimmy Murphy!
- Jimmy, you won!
- Get up there, Jimmy!
- Are you getting him, Russell?
- Don't worry, I'm getting him.
Congratulations, son.
And here's a badge to
commemorate the occasion.
Come on, lets put it on.
Hold on. There you go.
Russell! Russell!
You're missing our grandson!
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.
- Anything from a getaway van?
- The van was reported stolen this morning.
Prints and fiber
scans are negative.
Talk up another one for the Corporate Raiders. Chairman
masks, high-tech hardware, it's gotta be them.
- Security guard?
- Same as the other hits.
Where am I? Who am I?
Do you know my name?
I like ice cream, I
really like ice cream.
Shot full of Flatscan.
Same stuff they're testing on
the psychos at Buchanan Max.
She'll be lucky to remember
what planet she's on.
Thank you again, Mr. Chairman, you are
such an inspiration to our young members.
Oh, it's the least I can do
for OCP's favorite charity.
After all, we must set an example
for tomorrow's young executives.
Then I take it that I'll see you
at the ceremony tomorrow night?
Yes, well, about that
I'm sure it's an honor to be made
a BBB grand business master but
- my schedule is so crowded
- Oh, not to worry!
It's honorary title only. You wouldn't
actually have to spend any time with the boys.
And there might be a very
nice photo opportunity
if you were to present us
with next year's donations
What do you say?
All right.
But do I really have to wear that
uniform you sent to my office?
That's part of the fun
of being in the BBB.
Well, bye-bye-bye.
Okay, let's roll!
What's your dad doing here?
Memories, perhaps,
he was once a cop.
Come on, Murphy. All the memory
he has of this place is pain,
and it's gonna stay that way till the
day you decide to tell him who you are.
No.
That would cause
him greater pain.
I appreciate your offering to help.
Here.
- What is it you are looking for?
- I saw something or someone tonight.
At least I think I saw someone. I thought
you might be able to enhance the video.
You can scan right past this.
- You are worried.
- If it's who I think it is, I'm more than worried.
Here, right here!
Can you zoom in on that?
- Can you clear it up?
- Yes.
Holy
It is her.
Man, the years have sure been kinder
to her than they have been to me.
Scanning detects
numerous facial scars.
Indicating extensive
cosmetic surgery.
Around the eyes, nose,
chin, neck, ears,
- and lips.
- It figures, she always was vain.
Not to mention dangerous.
She killed six people,
Dorothy, she's gonna walk!
Just like that!
She's gonna walk!
- Tessa Stark, correct?
- You know her?
The Noxicore explosion.
It is in police files.
- Then you know I was the investigator on the case.
- Yes.
- There was insufficient evidence to convict.
- Tessa was guilty all right,
I just couldn't prove it.
And now she's back,
and she's up to
something, I know that.
Whatever it is, it
cannot be good.
- Where were you, Waldo?
- Just chatting with the chairman.
You don't chat! Not on my time!
- Especially not with him!
- I was making sure about tomorrow night,
- to help you
- When I want your help, Waldo,
I'll demand it.
After all these years, my master
plan is finally ready to launch.
I won't have it jeopardized by
your bumbling interference.
Now that we've cleared the air,
let's get ready for the final
phase tomorrow night, shall we?
Justin!
Did you bring Tessa that classified
phone number she asked for?
Right here, plus all of
Martling&Stern's trading data.
The last of the 4 phone
numbers and the beginning
of the end for all
of my enemies.
Well, let's see what kind
of insider information.
Martling&Stern have for me.
It always feels like
the very first time!
Come on, baby,
what's your secret?
Let Tessa have it.
Oh yes yes
There it is.
A merger between SUX and RYP
to be announced tomorrow.
Buy me a million shares
through Tokyo, baby,
get in on the ground floor
Do it!
Yes!
What a ride.
Go back to your room, Justin!
Everything has come
together, Waldo.
Ten hard years of planning
and of manipulating
preparing my little apocalypse.
Are you sure that this is the right time?
I mean, I was thinking
You don't think, Waldo. I think.
You didn't even own a necktie when I
picked you up in that bar in Rio.
And don't you ever forget it, Mr.
Big Business Buddy!
When you're able to stand
up, you can stop thinking
and get back to the
important business at hand.
Get me Jimmy Murphy.
The scent is OCP are flipping out
over these Corporate Raiders.
Why, 'cause they're making fun out of the
chairman with those funny little masks?
- Madigan, they want some answers!
- So do I, Sarge.
Okay, 4 stockbrokers in 6 weeks. All we know is
they're fast, well-equipped and very professional.
We got some kind of computer assault program
that blows right by any password protection.
They download everything, pop it into electronic
trading net, make a killing before morning.
- Well, can't we just trace the software?
- Nope, custom job.
How about the OCP comnet?
If they made a stock trade, there's gotta
be a communication's trail, right?
Oh yeah, take a look.
The pros at comnet made it to Nairobi
twice before the tracing system crashed.
Tell them to try it again.
It may not be much, but it's the closest
thing to a trail these punks have left.
Okie-doke
Good morning, Mr. Murphy!
Jimmy ready to go?
- I don't know, I'll check.
- Here we are.
I feel like even bigger dork.
Hey, Jimbo, you're all psyched up
for our tour at the phone company?
It counts towards your business
phone skills badge, you know.
- Great.
- Got a motor.
Time is money, and we don't
have a nickel to spend.
See you later!
- You ride on the bus.
- Okay.
You know, Russell, I'm glad Jimmy got
that award but I've got to be honest,
if I were still teaching, I wouldn't
give his paper any better than a C.
Then why would they give
him a Milkin award?
The standards just aren't what
they used to be, I suppose.
All right, my little CEOs!
Let's go, follow me! Come on!
Smartly now, smartly!
Come on, gentlemen!
You'll be running
the country soon.
Well, these are all the
Big Business Buddies.
Why, here you are! We've
been expecting you.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Now, please stay in the group
and get ready for a very exciting
travel to a phone company.
- Now, if you just follow me, we'll start with our
- Thank you.
- Charming, who is she?
- Her name is Tessa Stark.
She murdered six
people 20 years ago.
The guard at the factory saw
Tessa's hand throw a switch.
It had birth mark on it right here.
And before I could arrest her she
destroyed the evidence.
Russell had evidence
of her guilt,
but she destroyed it by putting her
hand through a paper shredder.
Extreme lady, huh?
- What in the world is she up to now?
- Whatever it is
it cannot be good.
And now the final
stop in our tour.
At one time, there were dozens
switching stations around the city,
but since OCP put Metronet online,
everything's been centralized.
The equivalent of over 12 million
calls goes through this one station,
every second of every
day, 365 days a year.
Wow, that is amazing!
Isn't it, kids?
Well, time to shove off.
Let's give this nice lady
a big BBB thank you.
- Thank you!
- You're welcome.
- Come back anytime in here.
- Thank you.
All right, gentlemen, follow the nice
phone man out. Move smartly now.
Bye.
Oh hi! No, it's okay.
Have you slept yet? Uh-huh.
No, that's okay.
- We're in position, Miss Stark.
- You're on the clock, boys.
Jimmy, why don't you
ride in a limo with me?
It's okay, I like riding on
the bus with the other kids.
That's not any way for an
honorary Milkin to talk.
You're not like other kids, Jimmy.
You should get used to that.
I mean, do you think that the
chairman would ride on the bus?
I guess not.
What's going down?
- You a cop?
- Retired, but I'm all you've got.
- Have you called the police?
- They're on their way.
- What are we dealing with here?
- Three suspects with masks.
- Two hostages, a couple of employees.
- Is there another way in there?
- Back service door, end of the hallway and right.
- All right, cover me and then get him out of here!
Hold it right there.
I may look old but I'm not
gonna miss at this range.
And certainly I'm not
gonna miss at this range.
Well, Mr. Murphy!
You are without a doubt a
very valuable commodity.
- Let's talk about this!
- Talk is cheap.
Action is money.
No! Tess
The boss wants him alive!
When opportunity knocks,
don't knock the opportunity!
You two get out!
- Robocop's here!
- Hold him off!
Miss Stark! Robocop's
got us trapped!
We'll have to restructure
our withdrawal policy.
I am very disappointed
in you, Justin.
I hate getting my hand dirty.
- Get out!
- What about you?
Don't worry about me. Go!
Move it! In the car, boys!
Come on, let's go! Go!
Go!
- Murphy, you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine
No damage.
Was it the Corporate
Raiders again?
I can tell you who is behind them.
One of those punks let a name slip.
It was Tess. For my money,
he meant Tessa Stark.
You've been very
bad boy, Justin!
You merely ruined ten
years of planning!
And who told you to
kill Russell Murphy?
- I wanted to surprise you.
- Oh, surprise?
How sweet I don't
like surprises!
You morons listen to me!
I created Big Business Buddies,
and this whole operation
is mine! Your butts are mine,
the chairman is mine, and
Russell Murphy is mine!
You don't go to the bathroom
unless I tell you.
Is that clear?
Robocop!
We have to talk.
I was out here just
before the trouble.
I was tailing my grandson.
Okay, I'm an old cop, I was
worried about the boy.
The point is, the attack came right after
the Big Business Buddies were in there.
You think there is a connection?
If Tessa Stark is mixed up with
the BBB you can count on it.
BBB records show no
connection to Tessa Stark.
Come on, this is the woman that blew up
six people in order to cover her tracks.
- You think she'd leave a paper trail?
- We need more evidence.
Look, you can't always
go by the book!
If my son was still alive, he
He would've told me
the exact same thing.
I hope robots can
accept apologies.
Actually,
- I am an adaptive cyborg.
- What does that mean?
It means
apology accepted.
Cyborg?
Cyborg
Dorothy!
Jimmy?
Anybody home?
I'm losing it.
Sarge!
Take a look at this.
- Phone numbers, right?
- I don't know, it's weird.
The part of the data the Corporate
Raiders stole from the brokers they hit.
Each one is protected by password, and
they all came from different brokers.
But according to records,
none of them exist.
- You mean they're unlisted?
- I mean there's no record of them anywhere.
Phone book, our files, the FBI files,
even OCP comnet came up empty.
Looks like you're taking trip back
to the phone company, Madigan.
I'm gone.
Mr. Chairman! You got the uniform
we sent you, very sharp!
I haven't worn a uniform since my days at the
Ivan Buskey (?) elementary business school.
You look awesome.
Come in, come in.
- The ceremony's just about to begin.
- Good.
Thank you.
- There doesn't seem to be anyone here.
- Oh, it's just a small private ceremony.
This way, sir.
Just how private
is the ceremony?
Jimmy Murphy! What are
you doing to that boy?
He's here for a reunion.
A very private reunion, Mr.
Chairman, or
should I call you lover?
Tessa!
- Tessa Stark!
- You remember!
How sweet. So do I.
It was our third date,
and you were drunk.
And very, very cute.
I stayed the night
and the next morning
you betrayed me to detective
Murphy and the police!
It cost me my hand to
stay out of prison.
You killed innocent people.
Oh, how noble you are.
The fact that I was ahead of you
in line for chair person of OCP
had nothing to do
with your decision?
- Of course not.
- Don't lie to me.
You threw me to the
sharks, darling.
And now I'm gonna make you pay.
I'm back!
Hi, where's Jimmy?
I thought he'd be home with you.
I thought he was here with you.
He should've been back from that
phone company tour hours ago.
You don't think there's
been an accident?
Wait a minute, Jimmy didn't leave the phone
company with the rest of the kids on the bus.
He went with Waldo in a limo.
- What are you doing?
- Dorothy, I don't have time to explain.
- Jimmy could be in danger.
- Then we should call the police.
The phones are all down. You go over to Metro
South, tell them I've gone to BBB headquarters.
Don't worry, Dorothy,
I'll get Jimmy back.
Nobody is taking any more
of my family away from me.
My boss is very concerned.
So where do the 4 numbers go?
To the main trading computer at
the New York stock exchange.
Like I said, they're only used by the
computers to talk to one another.
If those 4 numbers fall
into the wrong hands,
any hacker with a keyboard could
play havoc with the stock market.
Which substation will the 4
numbers be routed through?
Well, we've only got one terminal online,
and it'd take quite a while to find out.
Well, I mean it's not that I
haven't got enough to do here.
I guess we'd better get started, huh?
Come on.
How can you do this?
After all OCP has
done for the BBB
Why do you think I created
Big Business Buddies?
I needed the kind of charity
that you would gladly shovel
money into.
And, thanks to your generosity,
I've been able to build
up my war chest,
developed my own personal
army of Milkin boys
and prepared my revenge.
That's the best part, old man.
OCP is footing the bill
for its own downfall.
Oh, a final guest.
Mrs. Murphy says he's gone to BBB
headquarters to look for them.
- And Robo, he took his gun.
- I'm on my way.
Come in, Murphy, join the club!
Please, don't try
anything foolish.
We have your grandson.
Grandpa!
Hello, Tessa, I knew you'd
show up sooner or later.
That's right, Detective
Murphy, I'm back.
Grandpa!
- And I'm better than ever.
- It's all right, Jimmy, I'm okay.
For now. All right,
men, let's go.
We have less than an hour
to reach ground zero.
You know what to do, Waldo.
Well, look on the
bright side, Jimmy.
You're gonna become a
real true Milkin Man
after I give you a
shot of this Flatscan.
That walking trash bucket
Hold him off.
It'll be better if
you don't fight.
You'll just feel a little sting.
Come on in, trash bucket!
- Well done.
- They took my grandpa and the chairman.
- Where?
- I don't know,
the woman said she was going to destroy
OCP. Please, my grandpa needs help!
I will find him.
Hello.
Who are you?
Who am I?
Hey, you wanna play?
The substation goes online
in 5 minutes, Miss Stark.
Excellent. Is the
phone patch complete?
- 2 minutes, Miss Stark.
- And in 10 minutes.
Delta City's four major
brokerages will go back online
with the New York stock market
computers trying to make up
for 12 hours of delayed
trading, millions of trades
routed through this substation.
And thanks to the phone
numbers we acquired
and the miracles of
modern communication
Tessa is gonna have
one wild ride.
My God, she's going to patch
into the trading computer.
- You could destroy the economy.
- No, I'll just have it by the throat.
And the first thing
I'm going to do
is choke the life out of OCP.
Murphy, I'm at the phone company, the guy
here says all computerized stock trading
will be routed through an old
substation at 5th at Woodward,
- that's gotta be the Corporate Raiders' next target.
- I will meet you there.
Great.
Think of it,
a million sale orders boosted
through the system at once.
OCP stock will drop
like a steel kite.
- And when it reaches zero
- It won't work, Tessa.
As soon as the traders realize what's
going on, they'll shut you down!
Oh, perhaps. But by then
you two will be found dead.
A murder suicide.
Along with evidence proving that
you blew up Noxicore 20 years ago
- and framed me for the crime.
- 30 seconds, Miss Stark.
You're a sick vicious
woman, Tessa!
It's too late for flattery.
Come to mama!
Come on!
Yes, dive, baby, dive!
80 dollars a share and dropping.
Soon OCP stock will be worth
less than toilet paper.
I've won! I've won!
Stop him!
Not so fast, Justin!
Robo, look out!
Let's make a Robo crape!
This is not fair!
Well, Tessa, looks like this time
you're out of business for good.
Okay, people, party's over!
- You okay?
- Yeah, fine.
Speak for yourself!
I have to halt trading of OCP
stock before we're wiped out!
Where's a phone in this place?
I mean I mean, for God's
sake, this is a phone company!
Can somebody get me a phone?
Robocop!
Robo!
Alex!
I I thought you
might need this.
You know, the worst thing
the worst thing in
the whole world
is to outlive your son.
It's not supposed
to be like this.
What happened?
What did they do to you?
Who can I get mad at?
We cannot change
what has happened.
There must be
something I can do.
Please do not tell our family.
Yeah, okay.
I am still a cop.
Yes. Yes, you are.
