in four, three, two, one.

What if I told you that even the worst neighborhood in America

could be made completely safe,

and what if I told you that this could be accomplished

without risking the life of one single law enforcement officer?

How do I know this?

Because it's happening right now

in every country in the world but this one.

I'm Pat Novak, and welcome to "The Novak Element."

In tonight's State of the Union segment

we'll be joined by General Curtis Monroe,

live from the War Room in the Pentagon.

General Monroe, welcome back.

- Good to see you, Pat. - Uh, thank you

for this unprecedented access to your operation.

Could you walk us through

what we're seeing here?

Well, this is a, uh, a routine operation.

We found that random patrols

helped the local population

to feel safer and to trust us.

It's amazing.

And what are these colored dots

that we're seeing here, General?

These are our assets on the ground.

Uh, in green, we got the ED-2093.

They're the big boys, they secure the perimeter.

Purple are the smaller EM-2083.

They sweep and mop up.

And the red dots, Pat, that's your film crew.

(laughs)

It is great to see American machines

helping to promote peace and freedom abroad.

All right, you guys, this is just standard op, all right?

There's no opposition expected.

I'm gonna set your markers to code red.

(blipping)

All our drones are gonna give top priority to your safety.

No red assets have ever been lost.

- Okay. - Okay?

That make you feel better?

-(woman chuckles) - But, listen,

you keep those bracelets on, you're completely safe.

- Okay. - Okay?

Okay, enjoy the show.

All right, let's go.

ED-209: May peace be upon you.

Please exit your homes with your arms raised

for a noninvasive scanning procedure.

No one will be harmed.

Please exit your homes with your arms raised

for a noninvasive scanning procedure.

No one will be harmed.

As-salaam alaikum.

- May peace be upon you. - Scott, get me a shot of this.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

As-salaam alaikum.

May peace be upon you.

Incredible.

In... credible!

Not long ago, that would have been American men and women

risking their lives to pacify these people.

Uh, General, you care

to comment on this?

Well, Pat, we had Vietnam, we had Iraq,

we had Afghanistan--

never again.

From a military perspective, this has been invaluable.

We can accomplish our objectives

without any loss to American lives,

and I think the honest people over there

really appreciate it.

A-And why wouldn't they?

For the first time in their lives,

they get to watch their children grow up

in an environment of safety and security.

Navid!

Get away from the window!

Mom! They're here! They're coming!

Come here! Come here right now!

Arash!

Navid! You stay with your mom and sisters!

But he's just a kid.

Sayeh!

Stay here with your mom and the kids!

What do you think you're doing? You heard me!

Arash, please don't go! Don't do this!

Navid! My dear! Come back here!

Navid!

Shut the door!

We're not here to kill any of them.

Got it?

The goal is to die on television.

Let's go!

NOVAK (voice-over): Kelly,

can you hear me out there?

Loud and clear, Pat.

I'm here in sunny Tehran

where locals have clearly embraced these routine scans.

As you can see behind me, they're working

in collaboration with the robots,

and obviously their safety is everyone's top priority.

Don't make a move before I say...

You'll notice children in the streets as well.

KELLY: No, no!

- No! - NOVAK (over com): Kelly?

Kelly, are you all right?

- Kelly! - We're okay, Pat, our robots

-have just repelled some suicide bombers. -Hold on, Kelly.

- But, uh... -I'm sorry, Kelly, but for security reasons,

the Pentagon's going to cut our feed to Tehran,

but please be careful.

Yeah, I'll continue to stand by.

Now you see how fundamental these robots are

to our foreign policy.

So then tell me,

why can't we use these machines here at home?!

Why is America so robophobic?

On the one hand, we have Raymond Sellars,

an entrepreneur and true American

whose product just saved my colleague's life,

and on the other,

Hubert Dreyfus...

a man with both feet planted firmly in the past,

whose bill prohibits the use of drones on U.S. soil.

The American people support the Dreyfus Act

because they haven't experienced this technology

and they fear what they don't understand.

We at “The Novak Element" support Mr. Sellars' efforts

to make our country and our viewers safer.

After all...

what's more important than the safety of the American people?

Before the meet we ran the serial numbers on the rifles.

The guns were supposed to be in our evidence room.

Intake papers blank, no signatures.

- What do you got? - Nothing.

How do you think that happened?

I'm telling you, Murphy, this is a mistake.

These guys'll shoot you just to see if they gun work.

We need backup.

We call for backup, word's gonna get around the station,

MAN (voice-over): I don't care how sophisticated

these machines are, Mr. Sellars.

A machine does not know what it feels like to be human.

It can't understand the value of human life.

Why should it be allowed to take one?

To, to, to legislate over life and death,

we need people who understand right from wrong.

What do your machines feel?

Well, uh, they feel no anger.

They feel no prejudice.

They feel no fatigue,

which makes them ideal for law enforcement.

Putting these machines on the streets

will save countless American lives.

- You're evading the question. - No, I'm not.

Yes, you're evading the question.

I asked, what do these machines feel?

If one of them... killed a child,

What do you want me to do?

We've thrown cash at senators at both sides of the aisle.

Nobody's budging.

They don't want to vote against their constituents,

so, unless we sway public opinion, the battle's lost.

Now, to that effect, my team have come up

with a pretty aggressive new campaign.

Wow factor off the charts.

We need to give Americans a product they can love,

a figure they can rally behind.

Sir, I have dissected this bill.

There are no loopholes.

We can't put a machine on the streets.

Forget machines.

You saw the polls.

Americans don't want a machine.

They want a product with a conscience.

They want something that knows...

We're gonna put a man inside a machine.

We're expecting people from every corner of the city

You know, a lot of questions

on people's minds today is: What will he look like?

Is he a changed man?

Rumor has it he is in the building,

preparing to come out.

Alex...

we're gonna upload the entire DPD database

That means you'll have instantaneous access

Hey, look, this train has already left the station.

I can't exactly go out to the world and say,

"Sorry, I released a defective product,"

so, no matter what we do,

We just need to keep him on the streets.

Uh, what about the interviews?

Thanks for having me.

Well, look, I mean, the tide is definitely turning.

I, I just feel certain that, soon,

but I think our next guest will have

a different point of view.

SELLARS: Mm-hmm.

Hubert Dreyfus.

Senator, thank you for joining us.

Hello, Pat. Mr. Sellars.

Senator, do you know what this is?

The American public is divided

on the Dreyfus Act.

Our polls at NovakEIement.com are tight at 50-50.

There is no doubt Omnicorp created a sensation,

but this bill is not about Alex Murphy.

It's about whether America is willing to give robots

the authority over human lives.

No, no, no, no, look, look, look.

This, uh, sea change we're witnessing--

and it is a sea change-- shows that Americans don't really care

if our law enforcement systems are manned or unmanned.

What they care about is efficiency

and they care about safety.

You're clouding the issue.

This is clearly an attempt to sway public opinion

-with a marketing stunt. - No, what's clear is

that with just one system in place,

We've cut crime by 80%.

Just imagine if we put, I don't know,

let's say a hundred systems in place.

And then I want you to ask yourself,

why are you holding us back?

- Is that your plan? - Thank you, Senator.

- And thank you, Raymond. - Thank you, Pat.

Well, there you have it.

Who could argue with that?

What kind of life have we really given Alex Murphy?

He's never gonna be a normal man,

a father, a husband.

By the time we put the other units on the street,

he's just... Dennett...

(sighs)

Let's face it.

We failed him.

We failed Alex Murphy.

But I want you to think about the bigger picture

because that's what we're talking about.

The work you've done with him is gonna be studied for decades.

You've changed the face of history, Dennett.

No policeman is ever going to die

in the line of duty again

because of you.

Think about that.

I want that family

taken care of beyond their wildest dreams.

We owe them that.

I agree.

I want full funding

for ten years.

New staff, all my own people.

Fantastic.

Deal.

Hey, what's going on?

Security's here.

They're clearing everyone out.

They're not waking him up.

Whatever you do, don't leave him alone.

What do you mean they're not waking him up?

SENATE LEADER: The voting period has ended.

The clerks have tabulated the results.

The yeas are 63.

The nays are 22.

A majority of senators have voted in the affirmative.

The Dreyfus Act has been repealed

by Congress.

(applause over TV)

(phone rings)

God, you guys are slow, like a bunch of girls.

This is Mattox.

SELLARS: Dennett's on board.

It's about time.

Call it.

Get it done.

My pleasure.

(doorbell rings)

Mrs. Murphy...

You can come here as much as you want.

You can threaten me.

You can sue me. You can take my home.

But I am not gonna stop till I see my husband.

Do you understand that?

Mr. Sellars would very much like to see you.

Is Alex okay?

He has important information to share with you.

Will you accompany me?

David.

We gotta go.

Can you grab your coat?

(phone rings)

Hey.

NORTON: I'm in the elevator, on my way down.

I need access to the lab.

That's insane; they're still here.

NORTON: Distract them.

Okay.

I cannot...!

There's a lady in here going hysterical.

She will not let us in; she's got the code for the door.

I repeat: She will not let us in.

Lady, you need to let us in there now.

We have to get in there.

Are you not understanding what I'm saying?

Do you want to be responsible for the deaths

of everyone in this building?

Hey! Stop!

(panting)

Don't shoot.

Step outside.

Unlock the transmitter!

KIM: Transmitter unlocked.

Send in Mrs. Murphy, please.

WOMAN (over intercom): Right away, sir.

NORTON (voice-over): Wake him up!

Alex! Alex!

Alex, it's Dr. Norton.

You have to wake up!

Alex, can you hear me?

These men are here to kill us.

They're here to kill us,

for Christ sakes!

SELLARS (voice-over): Mrs. Murphy, last night,

Alex had a psychotic break.

He killed an unarmed colleague

and later suffered a seizure.

We did everything--

everything-- we could,

but the doctors couldn't save him.

Very sorry, Mrs. Murphy.

We're going to be making the announcement shortly.

ROBOCOP (voice-over): You shut me down.

I was about to get a confession.

Mattox shut you down.

I've removed your transmitter,

so he won't do it again.

Sellars can't afford to wake you up.

He sent these guys to pull the plug.

He wants you dead, Alex.

You understand?

SELLARS (voice-over): Sorry. If there's anything

we can do for you and David, we'll do it.

I want nothing from you.

I understand.

You stay out of our lives.

You and your company.

If that's what you think is best.

There's one more thing.

I think it would be to the benefit of everyone,

especially David,

if we kept this matter private.

We don't want to damage Alex's legacy.

NORTON (voice-over): Alex.

Alex!

I can fix this!

You lied to me.

You lied to my wife.

You're working for the people that are trying to kill me.

You want me to trust you, Doctor?

Alex, I can go to the press!

Alex, I can tell them the whole story!

Alex!

Listen to me, please!

Alex!

Alex...!

(engine roaring)

What the hell...?

(tires squealing)

(passing car honking horn)

(engine revving)

Keep all our systems at green light,

and for Christ sakes, get Sellars on the phone.

MAN: Roger that.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!

Look at this city.

So beautiful.

It's become so peaceful.

I wish...

I had some good news for Detroit.

I have very sad news.

Despite our best efforts

to save him,

Alex Murphy passed away just hours ago.

Alex Murphy was...

SECURITY OFFICER: Mr. Sellars.

- What is it? - Mattox just called.

We need to you to come with us now.

(elevator bell dings)

Ma'am, I need you to turn around and go the other way, please.

What are you talking about?

We have a security situation here.

I need you to turn around and go the other way.

Sir, there's a car outside that's...

That area is locked down.

- Now go. - What's happening?

I said go!

I want to talk to Mr. Sellars.

Mr. Sellars.

- How close is that helicopter? - About ten minutes, sir.

♪♪

- Excuse me. - Yes?

I need to speak with Sergeant Jack Lewis.

- Yes. - It's an emergency.

SECURITY OFFICER: Stand by.

Mr. Sellars.

Apparently there's a Clara Murphy

in the lobby.

Uh, Raymond, if she sees him,

-we are dead in the water. - What do you want to do?

Bring Mrs. Murphy up here.

Yes, sir.

(sirens wailing, tires squealing)

LEWIS (voice-over): Norton said they may be

using drones for protection.

So whatever you do, do not draw your weapons.

They won't shoot if we're unarmed.

- Clear? - Clear. -Clear.

(siren wailing)

(engine decelerating)

OFFICER: Hold it right there!

OFFICER 2 (over radio): ...coming your way.

Don't move!

This is private property.

You are not authorized to be here!

(electricity crackling, officer groans)

ROBOCOP: I'd put those guns down now

if I were you.

OFFICER: Stand down. Stand down.

OFFICER 2: All right, man, we're good We're good!

Let's go! Back it up!

(whirring)

(thudding)

(sirens wailing)

Head to the lower level.

- GUARD: Hold up! Hold up! - Ram it!

(grunting, groaning)

(grunting with effort)

(grunting)

Gun it!

Go, go, go, now!

(groaning)

Alex, run!

Omnicorp Security!

- Drop your weapons! - ED-209: Drop your weapon.

Keep your hands above your head,

and no one will be harmed.

(sirens wailing in distance)

What's going on?

Mrs. Murphy, I want you to listen to me carefully.

The organic part of your husband Alex is dead.

The robotic part of him is malfunctioning,

and he's shooting up the building.

So we've got to get you and your son

out of here right away.

I've got to take this call.

He just left the lobby, and he's headed our way.

MATTOX: Roger that, sir.

Don't shoot.

My robot. You just flank.

- Got it. - Tin Man!

Tin Man?

Tin Man.

Oh, there it is.

You look like crap.

What's the matter?

Can't shoot?

Huh?

What were you thinking?

This isn't a drill.

You're a robot.

I'm a red asset.

Wrote that myself.

What do you think?

Come on, Tin Man, just pull the trigger.

Pull it.

You can run.

Go on.

Run.

Run!

There you go.

Run.

Run. Run!

(yells)

(whoops)

- Stings like a bitch, don't it? -(groaning)

Aren't you lucky I didn't have my gun set to "kill"?

Hey, listen...

this isn't personal.

Well, maybe a little.

I'm gonna put you out of your misery.

(gunshot)

SECURITY OFFICER: Helicopter's approaching.

Mr. Sellars boards first.

No, no, no. Mrs. Murphy,

you and your son can get on first.

(groaning, gasping)

Officer down.

Mechanical room.

Omnicorp Building.

OFFICER (over radio): Roger that. EMS on the way.

You're gonna be okay, Jack.

Nonfatal.

Go. Go.

PILOT: Omni-LZ Helo One on approach to deck.

(whirring, footsteps thudding)

CO-PILOT: What's that?

- CO-PILOT: He's got a gun. - PILOT: What?

CO-PILOT: Pull up! Pull up!

What the hell's he doing?

Sorry, sir. I don't know.

Alex?

Dad?

(gasping)

Clara, David.

No, wait-wait-wait. Wait.

Get out of the way.

- Alex, put down the gun. - Clara,

take David and get out of the way now!

Raymond Sellars, you're under arrest

for the attempted murder of a police officer.

Are you here to cuff me?

All right.

Go ahead, cuff me.

You can't.

You're not programmed that way.

If you go against the program,

the entire system shuts down, so...

You don't even have a warrant.

- We'll overlook this little... - Get down on the ground and put

-your hands behind your back. - I-I'm just from Marketing.

- Ok -Now! - Okay, yep, yep, yep.

Yep.

Alex, we need to work together here.

Because I'm the only one

with the technology to keep you alive.

Dead or alive, you're coming with me.

(whirring)

-(clank) -(groaning)

All right.

Weapon.

Alex, honestly,

I mean you no harm.

If I wanted to,

I could have killed you a long time ago.

I just aim this right at your head and blow it off.

CLARA: Sellars, please!

Don't!

I mean, if I wanted to, I could just

aim this at your little family,

and I could just kill them too.

And really, there's nothing you could do about it,

because, let's face it...

you're a robot.

Do you understand that?

Alex...

Dad!

CLARA (whispering): Baby.

(whirring)

Hey...

Hey... everything's gonna be all right.

(Clara and David crying)

Everything's gonna be all right.

NOVAK: There's still no word

from Omnicorp parent company, OCP.

And although the government says they are rebuilding Alex Murphy,

rumors continue to swirl about his condition.

But we have obtained exclusive video

taken by cell phone

that shows the people of Detroit

may have Alex Murphy back on the streets

sooner than they think.

The real tragedy here is that

our president chose to uphold the Dreyfus Act.

Now, I have no doubt he was manipulated

by our biased media

and by whistle-blower Dennett Norton.

I acknowledge we know less than we thought.

But I do believe my research program is sound.

What I did with it...

...was wrong.

The fact that this mother (bleep)

is not serving time in some Federal penitentiary

is a huge, hot, heaping pile of horse (bleep)!

Now I know some of you may think

that this kind of thinking is dangerous

and these machines violate

your civil liberties.

Some of you even believe that the use of these drones overseas

makes us the same kind

of bullying imperialists

that our forefathers were trying to escape.

To you, I say,

stop whining!

America is now,

and always will be,

the greatest country on the face of the Earth!

I'm Pat Novak.

Good night.
