What do you mean, "there's no tissue match for the kid"? It's from heaven! You find one, or there'll be hell to pay! The greatest PR crew since OCP took Nobel prize for profit margins.
Call everyone, call the president! What? Then call her husband.
Book me sack time, the whole world's gonna know we're on this kid's corner.
- What? - What? Right here at Mediplex? It's booked up? Well, I don't care who it's assigned to, those lungs go to the boy! I don't care about the peace conference, book me the sack time.
Nothing matters more than Josh Avery! Nothing matters more than the Josh Avery campaign.
These people should get their priorities straight.
Tell me about it.
Give us three minutes, and we'll give you the world! This is MediaBreak with Bo Harlan and Rocky Crenshaw.
A dramatic rescue in Old Detroit as 9-year-old Josh Avery and his parents are plucked from the notorious stompers g*ng.
Unfortunately, this brave little guy's troubles were far from over, as he was rushed to Omni-Mediplex.
Sadly, Bo, this young recipient of a lung transplant, or allograft, now finds his life threatened yet again, by a malfunctioning organ.
With no replacement in sight.
Yes, Rocky, consumer demand is taking its toll, prices are skyrocketing.
The result - the organ market is booming.
Independent dealers report prices for high-demand organs such as lungs and kidneys are in an all time high.
Entered Josh's guardian angel, the chairman of OCP.
We'll do everything possible to make sure Josh Avery gets his transplant.
Because OCP cares.
There's a company with heart or, should I say, lungs? Ouch.
It's time for Commander Cash! Happy birthday, Susie! Here's your mandatory library card.
Wow! But what is this barcode for? Glad you asked! That barcode is your organ donor information.
This joint is going to make a lot of people happy.
So, be a superhero! Be a superdonor! The OCP library card! It's not just for books anymore.
It heals and it's the law.
- Mr.
Chairman! - Eliott! I was just notified about this lung procedure.
Now, as chief of staff, I have to say We're saving the life of a child, Dr.
Marner.
We've already reached our quota of charity cases for this fiscal year, and how's it going to sit with the board? I'll take care of the board, you take care of little Josh.
How do you feel? Kinda scared, maybe.
Guess I'm not brave like you.
We have all been afraid.
I just wanna be like other kids again.
You know? Yes, I know.
Oh God! This is a restricted area! Open the organ bank, sister! And no alarms! Move it! Doctor, hurry! Hurry! They're stealing the lungs! Now what? This.
Stay with the party.
Mr.
Chairman! One sh*t and it's history! Don't worry, Robocop's on it! Go ahead and shock the flatline, then let's quit.
Okay, everybody clear! Officer Alex Murphy sh*t 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.
Activating Medicrime tracking signal.
Now tracking current location of stolen unit.
"Piece of job.
In and out easy" What if it's not what doc said? (?) He'll sell your thin brain, watch the road! Don't call him doc, he's sensitive about it.
You're crazy, you know that? And I don't care what the doc thinks.
Look out! Step out of the car, or there will be trouble.
He's gotten us.
Grit your teeth, Galahad! Load them up, armor-piercing! Armor-piercing Right! Go! Yes! Excuse me, Dr.
Marner.
I'm detective Madigan, I'd like to go to the crime scene with you, please.
Did Robocop catch him yet? No, he didn't, sweetie, but he will.
See you later.
What if they question us? We can't lie to the police.
So what's the going rate for lungs these days? Seven figures, I suppose, I don't keep up with them.
That's a lot of money, who would pay that? Other hospitals? Absolutely not.
All organs are DNA-coded and cross-filed.
No hospital would touch stolen organs.
So, the black market then? Well, you'd know more about that than I would.
What are the chances finding Josh another pair of lungs? He's got antibodies that reject almost everything.
Well then, how long can he A day, two at most.
We'll do our best for it.
Yeah, we all will.
Vince! How goes there in Maui, talk to me! I'm dying, Detriti.
Where are my lungs? Got line in some USDA prime.
Child donor, mint condition, might cost you a little extra.
I said I'd go for four mil.
Costs are high, Vince.
Payoffs overhead, well, you know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, I hear that new designer drug you use is number one in the Polynesian hit-parade.
Cut the crap, Detriti! I'll go to five mil and that's it.
And remember this: no one messes with Vince Thanatos and lives! From your mouth to my ears.
We got it! Of course you did, the plan was perfect.
Ha! We almost got caught! What happened? Oh, the robot tracked us.
Well There's only one way that could happen.
A security chip.
We know how to take care of that now, don't we? Police.
Come out of the car.
I said come out.
Oh, Lord! I wasn't going to steal a car! I was just going to sleep in it! Give me that container.
Oh, sure.
I wasn't going to steal it either.
Here, take it! It's yours! It is a b*mb.
b*mb going off in front of me, robots running around in police cars and a sober fellow can't even drink one damn bottle in the morning.
Wow, take it easy, man! Just don't s*ab me! Two guys and a dame.
They took off in a van, okay? One sh*t and it's history! Is that them? That's them, yeah, they're the ones! What kind of van? No No Oh, right there! That's it! Mighty van 450.
Yeah, it was white with a yellow stripe on it.
You may go now.
I may? Thank you for your cooperation.
Good night.
Shift the green one there.
It's the pancreas for Otto.
Money in the bank! Now we can get that dungeon.
You are the most depraved woman I have ever known.
I was a cheerleader.
So listen up, I'm doing the file scan here but nothing has shown up.
It's a very tight little world they are.
They had inside help.
Yeah, I'd say so.
How can someone do that to a child? That boy has really got to you, hasn't he? Josh and I have much in common.
Dr.
Marner, report in 2251, code blue! That's Josh's room, I gotta go.
Vince, my supplier's a thief.
He won't release the goods unless he gets a million more.
What? I know, these are the type of people that I got to deal with.
It's not like the drug trade, there's no integrity.
You tell him I'll bust his chops! He'll just take them someplace else, Vince.
You wanna forget it? No.
Pay it! Just make sure you have them by tomorrow.
Think he bought it? What choice does he have? I got him by the lungs.
It's getting harder to stabilize them, I don't understand why.
This wasn't a perfect organ.
Those were the only one we could get to keep Josh alive.
Where is its certification? There isn't any.
What? Are you saying it was a black-market organ? Do you realize that's a felony? Who performed the surgery? Come on guys, who performed the surgery? Dr.
Bailey.
Janet Bailey.
I dismissed her from here five years ago, her patient recovery record was a scandal.
No wonder the boy's like this.
My son would be dead now if it wasn't for Dr.
Bailey.
She helped us when no one else would, and Joe and I will always be grateful to her.
Amy's right, she did everything she could.
Where did you get the organ? Dr.
Bailey got it.
Where is she now, do you know? She's not gonna talk to you.
Well, then she'll talk to you.
Let's go! Yeah? Who? Bailey? That's Otto Gilbert turf.
I see.
Well we'll have to do something about that now, won't we? Dr.
Bailey! Dr.
Bailey! Please! I need your help.
This is detective Madigan.
All right, show me your warrant.
No warrant.
Just some information about your source for black market organs.
Are you joking? I'll be safer in jail.
Time is short, doctor.
Does Josh's life mean anything to you? Of course it does.
What kind of a question is that? Well, your reputation in Mediplex was ruined.
Because I operated on high-risk patients no one else would touch.
Naturally, my PSR plummeted.
What is PSR? Patient survival rating.
That's how she ended up here.
Josh got the best lungs I could find.
Believe me, Joe.
I know.
Doctor, your source Please.
Otto Gilbert.
Come in, come in! Come in, come in! My favorite people.
You brought the pancreas? Show it to him, Louise.
Oh, please, I trust you.
You want, I should credit your account? That would be fine.
So how's business, Otto? Ah, thinking of retiring.
I'm not so young like I used to be.
This how you leave your records, Otto? Just lying around Who comes here? My friends.
There, you're all set.
I trust you, I told you.
Hey! Hey! Hey, what are you doing? Sit down! This is just acid, Otto.
It's good for cleaning things up.
You mentioned of retirement Gilbert was a middleman, he procured the organs and then passed them on.
Damn, these records could incriminate a lot of people.
And they would all have a motive to k*ll him.
Yeah, but why now? You know what I mean, right now when we want to question this guy This has gotta be connected to Josh Avery.
Who could've known that? Well, whoever it was, he covered his tracks.
Permanently.
Your assessment may be premature.
Wait, wait, this one D-E-something-I-T.
Where is that, um the list of Mighty van owners? D- E-T-R-I-T-I.
Detriti.
First name: Ardo.
No current registration.
I'll do a data scan on it.
Have it.
Otto Gilbert's organ inventory.
OK, here it is: Ardo Detriti.
Kicked out of Hillsdale College med school.
So he'd have the expertise! Now if the boy's lungs are listed We can use the DNA code to trace them back to the donor.
That's great! Nice job, Murphy.
Thank you, Madigan.
Diana! Do you ever take downtime? An emergency.
Josh Avery? Yes.
I cannot access OCP Pharmacorp files.
So, you want me to hack in.
What for? There is a criminal named Detriti who needs nitrogen gas and organ containers.
Which Pharmacorp happens to sell.
I'll buy some Metronet and get back to you.
Why aren't you taking inventory, Dave? Well, you give me something for my foot, doc.
Ignore him.
He's a worm.
Yeah, I know.
But if the worm isn't careful, he won't be taking the inventory, he will be the inventory.
Josh's lungs.
This donor had lung disease? What kind of a man has a place like this, Jerry? A man who ain't expecting us, Tom.
Hey! Doc, Louise! Get over here, we've got company! It's two guys, and they don't look real friendly! - They busted through the gate.
The cops? - Maybe not.
We may have been a tad greedy.
What do you mean? Greedy how? Hey, wait up! Nobody here tells me nothing.
I didn't think Vince would go this far.
Don't worry, we'll handle them.
I know you will.
I'm a lucky man.
Dave! You have stepped on me for the last time! The worm has turned! Dave, don't! What have I got to lose? Forget it, sweetheart! - I'm Tom.
- I'm Jerry.
Where's Detriti? Murphy, any luck digging up a location of Detriti? 1514 Iakoka parkway.
1514.
Thank you.
What? Detriti is at 1514 Iakoka parkway.
Someone with you? There is no person here.
All right, I'll meet you there.
I am not programmed to lie.
It makes things difficult.
Alex, you're too much.
Here's a new deal, Detriti.
I'll pay you 4 million and you get a bonus.
I'll let you live.
That sounds fair.
Anything goes wrong, I'll take your lungs.
No anesthesia.
Well, you heard the man.
Don't do it! What choice do I have? Which one? The green one.
Oh my God! Ardo! Thank you for your cooperation.
Hey, be careful! That's Vince's life in your hands.
You are under arrest.
Hand over the container.
How'd you get loose? They didn't tie me up like you do.
Hey, watch it! Surrender, or my line of fire drops two feet! Two feet? Look, this is just a job, right? You've definitely got a point.
(?) Look, uh you want this, big guy? Let's get outta here! Far as you go, gentlemen, right there, hold it, round the car! Let's go, hands up! Great, you got it.
We got to get those to a hospital.
I scanned it.
It is empty.
Let's go.
- What are we - doing in here? Now we're gonna have a little talk and life will be a lot easier if you two cooperate.
We wanna see a lawyer! There is no time.
Right.
Josh is worse.
- Uh-oh! - "Uh-oh" what? Come on now, Robo, don't do this, all right? They have the rights! Aww, this is great! The system's malfunctioning, I've seen him like this before! This is not good, guys! Police brutality! Tell him to stop! I can't, not when he's like this! Dismember mode.
Now he's gonna tear us apart! Give him what he wants, tell him who you work for, it's nowhere to go, he's gonna lose it! Vince Thanatos! He wants us to sell the lungs to Maui.
Fast! That's all we know! A good citizen always tells the truth, right? Right.
Let's go guys, we've got a nice, comfy cell waiting for you.
Easy, easy! Very impressive.
Kind of a "good cop-bad cop" thing on? Make quite a team.
You could say that.
I need files on all recent videophone transmissions to Hawaii.
For Mr.
Thanatos? Detriti.
What's he look like? Charming.
It's customary, nurse, to get authorization before opening up hospital files.
She has authorization.
I see.
Doctor, we've found the most terrible thing.
Substandard organs have been removed in the hospital inventory.
The substandard organs are destroyed.
Apparently not.
Apparently, they've been channeled into the black market.
Josh's defected lungs originated from the tuberculous victim in this hospital.
What? Are you sure? I think it's time I did some investigating of my own.
Listen, who beside yourself knows this Where did you get that cup? Oh, Dr.
Marner handed them out last year when Hillsdale won the big game.
He's very proud of his alma mater.
Change of plans, Vince! Tom and Jerry are out of the picture.
But, thanks to me, the lungs are safe.
And I insist on living up to my obligation.
What's your game, Detriti? Vince, please! My word is my bond.
I'll hand-deliver them.
Personally.
Okay, Alex.
Here's a vid-phone transmission from Hawaii.
Vince, please! My word is my bond.
I'll hand-deliver them.
Personally.
There's a programmed air jet waiting for you at the "Motown Island Air Jets".
You can take my boat.
It's slip 44.
How's that? Good.
Now it is up to me.
Good luck.
Dr.
Matthew, to the ER! Dr.
Cunningham, to pathology! I've just been told Robocop is close to recovering the organs.
Shouldn't your staff be getting ready? Well, there's a hitch, Mr.
Chairman.
None of the doctors will risk an operation that will commit a 10-point cut to their PSR.
We'll forget the ratings this time! The PSR is regulated by Geneva coprorate medicine treaty, there's nothing we can do.
I'd say you've done enough already, Dr.
Marner.
What are you talking about? Take a look at this after-hour entry log at the organ bank.
Where did you get this? It's not important.
Do you recognize the code? It's mine, but anyone could've accessed my codecard, I You're not suggesting that I skimmed off those organs? Oh, I'm more than suggesting, sir.
Why would Dr.
Marner do such a thing? I wondered that myself, and then I tapped into his records at Hillsdale medical school.
You had a classmate named Ardo Detriti, correct? That's right.
He was kicked out for cheating on his finals.
After claiming that another student helped him.
You were that other student, doctor.
That's ridiculous.
You paid him off but he wouldn't go away.
He threatened to expose you unless you contributed to his black-market operation.
That's why Josh Avery wound up with defective lungs and that is why the replacements were stolen.
Is this true? It wasn't like that.
The organs were substandard, useless, and I I never dreamed Detriti would break in here.
Then why did you give him your access code? I Come on, doctor, save the word, you're thief, and you're a liar.
God, what a scandal! There's something about the ocean boat that makes me you know Oh, I know.
Goodbye, Old Detroit! Aloha, Hawaii! It's that robot So what? Can he walk on water? Who does that metal moron think he is? He can't hold us.
Can't hold us, huh? That's what I said.
Take the wheel! Get the lot! Make him an offer he can't refuse! Okay, Robocop! You might get us, but you'll never save that kid! It's your move! Good thinking, you twisted little tramp.
Help! Help! Get it out of here! Help! No! Well, there's one compensation.
What? It feels fantastic.
Yes, Old Detroit breaths a collective sigh of relief today, and that includes little Josh Avery himself after coming through his allograft operation with flying colors, thanks to the compassionate chairman of OCP.
Josh Avery has been saved, and we're grateful.
But let's not forget the thousands more just like him in Old Detroit.
As a friend of mine would say, we've got a system that needs fixing.
And OCP cares.
- Well said, Aubrey.
- Thank you, sir.
The chairman has learned a valuable lesson.
Yeah, and monkeys may fly out of my Nevermind.
Look, do me a favor, will you? Take a break.
I may go and treat myself to a flux shower.
I cannot.
Somewhere there is a crime happening.
Alex, you're too much.
