And?

Well, maybe...

one of your employees

tried to change or...

modify the unit.

Only ROC can repair robots.

That's how we can

guarantee security, sir.

Security, my ass.

Your units work

worse and worse every day.

The ones that aren't broken

are stolen by that scum.

So,

if you're so concerned about security,

why don't you

disinfect that dump?

F***ing insurance.

We shoot on sight.

They know

it's a restricted area.

All the work we do here

is trying to prevent that scum

from invading the city.

I thought the wall was built

to protect us from the desert.

Sure. And planes

will fly again one day.

And what is this crap?

These pieces are from

a 7000 that's operative.

Number 206,

a welder in Section 5.

Welder 206 currently on duty.

Warning.

You are leaving

the city limits

and entering

in a restricted area.

From this point on, the city is

not responsible of your security.

Don't shoot!

What do you have in there?

What do you have in there?

What do you have in there?

What do you have in there?

So, the unit leaves

its assigned workplace and...

escapes to set itself on fire...

on its own.

Are you serious?

What was it keeping

inside the box?

We have a few tools here.

These could be remains of...

heat sensors.

And I'd say

this seems to be a...

It's a nuclear battery.

Before the regression,

they used them

to move satellites.

It's a very powerful battery

and very hard to come by.

Can you install that in a Pilgrim?

Only if you want to barbecue it.

It's much more than that. Anyone that's

looking for autonomous power sources...

will appreciate them.

Can it hear us?

It should.

Read my badge.

Identify yourself.

B-2206.

Welder Section.

All right.

We found this battery

in your hands.

Who asked you

to steal it?

Found this battery.

You were going

to the ghetto.

Was your owner

waiting for you there?

I do not have

an owner, sir.

Why did you

set yourself on fire?

Why did you set yourself...

Sh*t, Vaucan.

First you roast it.

Now you make it cry.

Soon, I'm going to get a call

asking for an explanation.

I have seen

altered units for years.

But I swear to you,

what I've seen today is different.

It's something else.

You're definitely nuts.

What kind of mood do you think the

boys upstairs are in these days?

If we don't get the city to renew our

contract, we're all going down the tube.

Okay, okay!

What if I find the

clocksmith behind all this?

It's about the transfer.

This is all about

the transfer, isn't it?

Oh, Jesus, Jacq.

Very well.

Change your report,

find me a culprit, close the case,

and you will have

your farewell ticket.

Who knows, Jacq?

Maybe the ocean
