"We really could use your help in figuring out what happened in the cemetery."
☆ RoboCop: Murphy's Law: Part One ☆
Script: Alan Grant | Art: Sullivan / DeMulder / White
There are some new cops on the streets of Old Detroit and they aren't upholding the same law as RoboCop; in their programmed eyes, he's the enemy. RoboCop finds himself outgunned but not, as they say, outwitted.
His years on the street as Officer Alex Murphy give him a certain edge, leading to an opening that mere machine thinking would probably overlook. Once again the human and machine parts of the RoboCop play their part.
Speaking of which, there's an interesting contrast between the two, as each views a tragedy in different terms.
And there's a moment of self-doubt, something that a machine wouldn't have. The tech guys would probably want to eliminate such things, seeing it as some kind of glitch in the programming, but it's a measure of the humanity that's still present inside the metallic shell; i.e. the essence of Alex Murphy, the part of the character that makes him more relatable than he might otherwise be.
