Robocop (1994) s01e21 Episode Script

1
Come on, come on, get it open.
Move! Come on, let's
get this thing loaded!
Come on, Sweepers, let's get those bags
on the truck before time runs out!
Hey, Gulliver, I got some
pretty mull merchandise here!
Jackpot! These noisemakers are
gonna make us some major bucks!
I wonder what's in here.
Are you crazy? Can't you read?
- Didn't begin to learn.
- It says biotoxin, genius.
Megadeath in a can.
Put this stuff on my wheels!
Sweepers, let's roll!
Beta-1, pursuing Sweepers
north on Celcur.
Roger, Beta-1. All units,
Sweepers heading north on Celcur.
Blast him off the road!
Choke on this, robot!
Have a gas, Robocop!
Come on, come on, come on!
Beta-1 to dispatch.
Vehicle contaminated
by class 1 biotoxin.
I have sealed off my vehicle.
Request decon teams to evacuate a 5
square mile area around my signal.
Condition red. Repeat:
Condition red.
Roger, Beta-1. Decon
team scrambled.
What is your status?
Beta-1, come in.
Beta-1, please respond.
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.
And now: Bo Harlan
and Rocky Crenshaw.
Good evening! Our top stories:
Opponents to gun control shoot
down compromise bill in Congress,
leaving 2 dead and 5 wounded.
An England's royal couple resigns
after winning the Irish Sweepstakes.
But first, in local news,
- the end is in sight for Roy Macklin.
- That's right, Rocky.
The self-confessed mass killer is
scheduled to die by self-electrocution
at midnight.
Though Michigan has no death
penalty, Macklin is the first to opt
for the new co-working
option which legalizes
state-assisting suicide
for convicted murderers.
Macklin's final moments will be shown
live on the Headpaper viewshow.
Execution Tonight.
There'll be a lot of sleepy
folks at work tomorrow, Bo.
That's right, Rocky,
I'll be watching.
On a sadder note: The fate of ace crime
fighter Robocop remains unknown at this hour.
Exposed to a deadly biotoxin
while he was pursuing a
notorious Sweepers gang,
Robocop and his Robocruiser
were taken to an OCP
decontamination facility
where both remain
under quarantine.
- How is he?
- I don't know.
Communications were cut off
when he sealed the cruiser.
We can only hope he had time to isolate his
organics before the biotoxin took effect.
How did a bunch of Sweepers get
a hold of a class 1 biotoxin?
That's what I'd like to know.
Commencing decontamination.
(?) at 20% 40% 60%
80% 90%
Decontamination complete.
RICIN-X, the third canister
You're saying this has been
missing for two years?
I was on the university task
force, Roy Macklin used a canister
of Ricin-X just like this one and murdered
16 people in the registrar's office.
Yeah, I remember the case.
Three canisters were stolen from
the university's research lab.
Right. I found the second one in his
apartment, he said he destroyed the third one.
He said So how did the Sweepers
get hold of it to use on Robo?
- I intend to find that out, sergeant.
- And I intend to find out where Macklin lied.
Well, let's get to it.
Robo! Nice to have you back.
Thank you, sergeant.
Announcing the newest breakthrough
from Omni-Consumer Products
in the war against crime:
Leader, the law enforcement
agency data exchange relay.
An interactive database
designed to link public and private law
enforcement agencies around the world
into a single highway internet
that no criminal can hide from.
Leader - the ultimate
weapon against crime!
Very impressive, Mr. Sullivan.
The sales campaign is practically
a formality, Mr. Chairman.
Everyone is jumping
on the bandwagon.
And the government agencies
are willing to back us up?
Well, sir, district
attorney Gless himself
insisted on being here
today to lend a support.
Why don't we let him answer that?
Richard?
Thank you, Mr. Sullivan.
The Leader net will
advance the efficiency
and coordination of law enforcement
data by decades, Mr. Chairman.
OCP has the full
endorsement of my office
for this bold new venture.
When Leader goes online
at midnight tonight,
OCP stands to realize a
300% return on investment
- in the first 6 months alone.
- Young man,
let me offer you my congratulations. I'm
sure that Leader will be a big success.
"Bold new venture"?
Nice touch, Dick.
The old man ate it up.
Listen, Billy, I don't
like being mocked
and I don't like being dragged down
here to your little dog and pony show.
I am a public servant, I'm
not a corporate shill.
This is not good for my image.
Listen, Dick
you'll do what I say and
you'll keep your mouth shut.
We both know your image is as phony as
your law degree, and I can expose it
through one computer disk.
Listen, Billy, you said you
would destroy those files.
Oh, and I will. When I
get what I'm after.
Listen, Billy
I did my part. Macklin is
on death row, isn't he?
You're not off the hook until Macklin
pushes the button, Dicky babe.
And then we're both
bulletproof and rich.
Suicide is murder!
Suicide is murder!
Hi, detective
Madigan, Metro South.
Yeah, go right in.
Roy, we're losing you on camera 2,
could you tilt a little to the right?
- How's that?
- Beautiful, Roy.
You're a natural. Just a few more minutes
and we'll be finished with the walkthrough.
Hang in there, babe.
It's a real pleasure working with the
voluntary victim, I can tell you.
Most of them kick and scream, wreck
my shots, they just don't care.
- He hasn't expressed any second thoughts then?
- Not a zip.
I'm telling you,
I love this guy.
Yeah Could you speak up? We've got something
to run on record. Yeah, tight. Thank you.
Okay. Cam 3. Roy, could you
give it your last words again?
I wantingly murdered 16 innocent
people just to watch them die.
And that's your queue to hit the button.
That's great, Roy.
Just remember to look at the camera.
Okay, people, that's lunch, one hour!
Hi, I'm detective Madigan.
Right, the warden called. You get 10
minutes before his wardrobe fitting.
Hello, Roy.
Roy, do you remember me?
Officer Madigan?
- Who is that?
- Name's Madigan.
Cop from Metro South.
She arrested Macklin.
Find out what she's up to.
We found a missing
canister of Ricin-X, Roy.
One of the three you stole
from the university lab.
You said you destroyed the third
one, do you remember that?
Yes, I burned it in the lab's
hazardous waste incinerator.
I have the third canister, Roy.
I burned it in the lab's
hazardous waste incinerator.
Damn it, Roy, why are you
lying, what's going on?
Officer Madigan, isn't it?
Richard Gless, I'm the DA,
we met at Macklin's trial.
- Right, I remember.
- You'd better be getting Mr. Macklin to wardrobe.
Is there some kind
of problem, officer?
I'm not sure, we've found new evidence
that contradicts Macklin's confession.
The canister of Ricin-X he said he
destroyed turned up last night.
You're not suggesting he's he's innocent?
He confessed to his crime, officer.
I'm just saying it's worth checking
out, a man's life is at stake here.
Of course. Well, you keep me
posted on anything you turn up.
- I'll do that.
- Thank you.
Did you hear what she said? They've
got the third can of Ricin.
I did see a report on the news.
Sweeper gang.
- Petty crooks.
- You kept it?
Why would you do something
like that, Billy?
Well, let's just say I can't stand to throw
away anything that has future value.
Calm down, storage
rental can't be traced.
What if the police decide
to reopen the Macklin case?
It's up to you to make
sure that doesn't happen.
Right, Dick?
It wasn't me, I was in the
basement checking the water recycler.
Okay, okay.
I was having a drink,
a little problem.
But I'm no killer! I'm
just the janitor.
That was his statement 1
hour after I arrested him.
Voice stress analysis
indicates truth level of 98%.
Okay, let's try his confession
three months later.
I wantingly murdered
16 innocent people
just to watch them die.
- The voice stress readings are identical.
- They can't both be true.
His confession is word for word what
he said to me less than an hour ago.
My God, I thought this was open and shut two
years ago. What if they got the wrong guy?
- And that confession came after a 28-day psychiatric assessment.
- Who did it?
Dr. Audrey Frink, is
there an address?
- No.
- I'll check with the DA's office.
One of our snitches gave a location
on the Sweepers' floating market.
Robo, I'm hoping you can ID the
creep who hit you with that gas.
It will be my
pleasure, sergeant.
All right, we're cooking!
I'll stay with the shrink.
Mr. Conaver!
- Can I talk to you?
- I guess it's true what they say:
There's way too much
violence on TV.
I paid 42 dollars
for this TV, and
now look at it!
Management assumes no responsibility
for damage caused due to improper use.
- All I did was plug it in!
- Well, there you go.
- Mr. Conaver, please, if I could just have my money back
- Sorry, friend.
No refunds, no returns.
I guess you didn't read the fine
print on your sales contract.
Sales cont I didn't see a contract.
What contract?
This one.
Now you wanna talk to me
again about a refund?
In the future, only do business
with reputable merchants.
Okay, round them up!
This is the punk we
are looking for.
You wanna explain how you came to
possess a canister of Ricin-X?
- I think I want a lawyer!
- You'll need one.
- Possession of a biotoxin is a class 1 felony.
- Class 1?
Hey, it wasn't mine, I
just stole it, honest!
- Please continue.
- We got it when we hit the Storelocks.
It was in that trunk.
Which storage bay
was the trunk in?
Like I'm gonna remember.
Voice stress analysis indicates he
is telling the truth, sergeant.
Book him! GT merchandise.
So back to square one.
Perhaps not.
What? This old
university T-shirt?
A possible clue, sergeant.
But it will take a little
sweat.
So when the district attorney told me
the police were investigating you,
- I came right over, Audrey.
- I'm glad you're here, Billy.
You need help.
Keeping that Ricin-X was a clear manifestation
of your subconscious desire to be caught.
No. It was a clear
manifestation of my greed.
You know I would never betray
you to the police, Billy.
- You can trust me.
- I don't take those kinds of chances, Audrey.
You know that.
- You mean the registrar?
- No, not him.
He had to go, how else could I turn his petty little scam
selling phony degrees into something really worthwhile?
No, it was the other 15 people in
his office I wasn't sure about.
- So
- I understand, Billy, you were just being smart.
And what would you know
about being smart?
Your degrees aren't even worth
the paper they're printed on.
Put that Flatscan down, Billy!
This kind of paranoia is common
among child prodigies, and
I'm not paranoid!
Everybody is against me.
People've been jealous
of me my whole life.
I really think it would help if we
could talk through your aggression.
Why don't I pencil you in for
tomorrow, how's about 2 o'clock?
Look, what I did with Roy Macklin,
he's on death row right now,
he really believes he
killed all those people.
Unfortunately, his recollections
are a bit inflexible.
A lot better at psychotropic therapy
now, I've tried all the new drugs,
I could augment his
memory implants.
Give me a chance!
I'm sorry, Audrey, I'm afraid our
time is up for this session.
Billy, you really need to
deal with your hostility!
Hello?
Hello, Dr. Frink?
Is anyone here?
Dr. Frink, are you all right?
I hate you, mother.
Beta-2, officer
needs assistance!
All units, all frequencies:
Beta-2 needs assistance.
Roof at 1280 Taft.
Thanks, Murphy.
Don't thank me, thank Charlie.
- Did you see who did this?
- No.
But whoever it is, he's gone the distance
to make sure Roy Macklin kills himself.
Well, I talked to Sarge and he called the DA
to ask for the stale on Macklin's coworking.
Any luck with you?
I've scanned all records
on the Ricin-X attack
on the university registrar's
office 2 years ago.
Student records during that
period indicate tampering.
- As in doctoring grades?
- Yes.
Including various members
of OCP's executive staff,
- Dr. Audrey Frink.
- Ooh, the trail's heating up, isn't it?
I scored! You were right, Robo.
The DNA matches an alumnus
of Delta City University.
Is this a friendly visit,
or am I under arrest?
That depends on your answers.
In that case I'll tell you
how my lawyer would answer.
She'd say: "Mr. Sullivan has never
rented a bay at Storelocks storage."
She'd also say his genetic
print may have been lifted off
an item of clothing he donated
to charity several years ago.
- How would you answer those questions?
- I wouldn't.
Not without my lawyer present.
Thanks, Sarge.
Sarge said the DA refused to reopen
the case, not enough evidence.
And that snotnosed little VP knows
we don't have enough to arrest him.
He is cocky. That
will be his downfall.
Yeah, but meanwhile Macklin's being
railroaded to his death in 5 hours!
The only thing that will stop this
self-execution now is Roy Macklin.
I don't think we can reason with the
guy, he's pretty much a zombie.
- Try, Madigan!
- What about Billy Sullivan?
He is mine.
He's just finishing
his last meal.
You have a visit, Roy.
Roy, do you know Billy Sullivan?
He had the third canister of Ricin-X that
you said you destroyed two years ago.
Now how is that possible, Roy?
Roy, I don't think
you killed anybody.
- I think Dr. Frink put those memories in your head.
- No.
I killed those people.
Just to watch them die.
I deserve to die.
The others are waiting inside.
This better not be a
waste of our time.
I've got a 190 lQ, Molotov.
I'm too smart to
waste your time.
- Hey, boss!
- What is it?
What?
You think you're so smart?
You were followed.
By Robocop!
Man your stations! That robot
does not leave here in one piece!
Nice work, Vlad. No
wonder you're the best.
Don't you forget it, sonny.
Ashes to ashes, scrap to scrap.
Now we talk business, eh?
Gentlemen and lady!
You're the most powerful
criminals in the world.
Reggie Braga, boss of the Carioca
mafia of the entire North East.
I'm simply a poor businessman trying
to make his way in an alien land.
From Sicily, Mr. Rocco Carbone, boss
of the Mediterranean syndicate.
From the UK, the iron maiden of
crime herself, Margaret Crane.
Just call me Maggie.
And Mr. Zero, head of the
ruling yakuza family in Tokyo.
And last but not least,
Vlad Molotov, godfather
of the Russian mafia,
who only moments ago rid the
criminal world of its greatest foe:
- Robocop.
- Well done, Molotov!
Don't leave us, Murphy, you fight!
You hear me? You fight!
Alex Murphy's dead. He doesn't
have a memory, he has a program.
He's just a machine.
No!
Live from the Henry Ford center
for the morally challenged
in Detroit, Michigan, it's the
show everyone dying to see:
Execution Tonight,
with special guest
host Umberto Ortega!
Thank you, thank you! Thank you,
hello and welcome to the show!
Two years ago, on a
warm spring day,
Roy Macklin turned the halls of
academia into a slaughterhouse.
Well, tonight he's going to pay for that crime
when he enters this chamber and ends his own life
by self-electrocution.
And we're going to show it to you live
because you have the right to see it!
We've got a lot of special guests with us tonight, so why
don't we just take a minute now to meet some of them, huh?
Right over here at his usual front row
seat I see that famous film director
Otis Pike! Big fan,
never misses the show!
And with him is that hot-hot-hot new
Hollywood starlet Cindy Salice
What about your wife?
Your son, Roy?
You're gonna leave them behind alone,
is that what you want for them, Roy?
They'll get lots of money.
Movies, books,
interviews, my life sentence
rebate from the state.
That's not the answer, Roy.
Listen to me, I came for money, I can
tell you it does nothing for a family.
You don't understand.
I understand that you're depriving your
family of what they need the most.
You!
All the money in the world's not
gonna make up for that loss.
I'm guilty.
I want to die.
This relay terminal
is linked to Leader.
Which, in turn, is connected to every
law enforcement agency in the world.
When I enter a special program, every scrap
of electronic data about each of you
will be deleted.
To the computers of the
world you won't exist.
No outstanding warrants, no
parole violations, no record.
You'll be so clean, you could
even hold down a government job.
When can you do this thing?
The second you put your
deposits on the table.
Five million each.
I thought you took
care of him, Stitch!
Police! This is a bust.
That was a warning shot.
And we're back. With just 20 minutes
to go before we see the fist
coworking style execution
in the state of Michigan
- and the excitement is building, right, girls?
- Oh, I'm just tingling all over, Umberto.
Me too, Barbie.
And now, let's have a big hand for
the real star of the tonight's show,
Roy Macklin!
You're just in time, Mr. Gless,
we're introducing Macklin now.
Okay, queue the condemned!
Key on, Roy!
Roy is attended by Lisa Madigan, an
officer who arrested him two years ago.
One can only imagine the
satisfaction she must be feeling.
You don't have to do this, Roy! Please, you're
the only one who can stop this! Come on, Roy!
Goodbye, detective Madigan.
And so, Roy Macklin
takes that fateful walk on
his journey to eternity.
He looks calm and relaxed
as each step brings
the twisted killer
that much closer to
his final destiny.
So don't go away, folks,
there's plenty more to come
right after these messages.
And now, back to Execution
Tonight with Umberto Ortega!
We are back, as Roy Macklin
comes the end of his last mile.
So, let's have a warm welcome
for the man of the hour.
(?) about Mr. Roy Macklin!
15 minutes and counting.
Our lovely assistants
Barbie and Rachel strap
Roy into the chamber.
As you know, Michigan has
no capital punishment
so the choice to end his
life is Roy's and his alone.
Mr. Gless, you've got to stop this, we have
reason to believe Roy Macklin was framed.
- I'm afraid it's out of my hands.
- No, it's not!
You have to step in, at least call the
governor, we have enough to warn a delay here!
Officer, you really
are dreaming.
And you wasted enough of my time. Would
you show this woman out, please?
Why are you doing this? Why are you
so anxious to see Macklin dead?
Out! Thank you.
- Get your bloody hands off me!
- Come on!
Hey, my lawyers will have me out
and back on the street in an hour!
And my lawyers will get
me out before him!
I hate it when they're right.
All this, and we still haven't made
a dent toward helping Roy Macklin.
I think we have, sergeant.
Follow my lead.
Stop!
Mr. Sullivan is a member of the
law enforcement community.
He made this raid possible.
Please release him.
You set us up?
He's lying. It's
not how it looks!
You take my money and
turn me over to the cops?
- You're a dead man!
- You're bust, sonny!
Wherever you go, one
of us will get you!
You are free to go.
Go where? You heard them,
I won't last a day!
Oh well then, I guess you'd better
live it to the fullest, huh, Billy?
You're signing my death warrant, I
I demand to be arrested.
On what charge?
Consorting with known felons.
Blackmail.
- Class 3 felonies. Not worth our time.
- Couldn't agree more, Robo.
Okay, okay! Murder.
I was behind the university
massacre, I killed the registrar
and the staff, and
I framed Macklin.
Ask the DA if you don't believe me,
he is in this up to his necktie!
Believe me, I'd rather spend 20 years
in jail and get out before I'm 40
than die tomorrow.
Hello?
Yes, this is sergeant Parks, Metro
South, and I have an urgent message
Hello?
Can you hear me? Hello?
Wrong number.
Camera 3, go ahead.
With less than 10 minutes, Roy Macklin
is sealed in the chamber of death.
- Is he secure, girls?
- Nice and snug, Umberto.
Camera 1, give me a
shot of the button.
At the stroke of midnight the
chamber will be activated.
Once that is done, it is up to Roy
to trigger the final sequence
with that button.
But don't you touch your remote control button, folks,
because we'll be right back after this important message.
Ah, come on! Girls
can't play war!
Hey, Wendy! Let's show
what we girls are made of
with the Major Market doll!
It's 900 choices in one,
including flamethrower,
anti-tank missile, cluster bomb
and an oven for tasty treat
when wartime is over!
We have returned with just seconds
left before Roy Macklin ends his life.
What thoughts could be running through
the twisted mind of this mass murderer
at this, his final moment?
I wantingly murdered
16 innocent people.
- Just to watch them die.
- Come on, Roy, don't do it.
Okay, anytime, Roy!
Come on.
Come on!
He's done it. The generator is now
building a charge of 3000 volts.
When it redlines, the charge will be released
in a single life-extinguishing blast.
- Hey, this is a closed set! Who let him in?
- Step aside!
What is going on? I'm
trying to do a show!
Camera 3, tight on Robocop!
You going somewhere?
You're busted, Mr. DA.
Mr. Sullivan has a
statement to make.
Roy Macklin is innocent.
I killed those people and
the DA helped me frame him.
Get him outta here.
This one, too.
It's okay, Roy. You're going to be okay.
We're going to get you some help.
You're all right.
I'm glad that's over.
That's nice work, you two.
- Let's call it a day.
- No, thank you.
Somewhere there is
a crime happening.
Let's roll, Madigan.
Like he said.
