Dredd Page #2

Peach Trees. Multiple homicide.

Dredd to Control. We'll take Peach Trees.

Copy that.

Hey, Joey, show us what you've got.

Okay, rookie.

What do you know about Peach Trees?

Sir. Peach Trees houses

75,000 registered citizens.

It has the highest crime rate in Sector 13.

Unemployment rate of 96%.

And more than half the residential levels

here are classed as slums.

Rookie.

Judgment.

Vagrancy, three weeks, iso-cubes.

But prioritize murders?

Correct. Don't be here when we get back.

Yes. Thanks, Judge.

Please remain behind the security tape.

So why do you wanna be a Judge?

Sir. I want to protect and serve the city.

To make a difference.

Make a difference to a block like this?

It's yours if you want it.

I was born and raised in a block like this

before the Justice Department took me.

I know there are good people inside,

good families just trying to get by.

Yes, I believe I can make a difference.

Admirable.

The mall will be closing today at 10 o'clock.

Plenty of time to make your purchases.

What have you got?

Three stiffs in a somewhat

f***ed-up condition.

Did you get a picture of that?

- You based in Peach Trees?

- Med Center, level 25.

- You lD'd them?

- Mostly.

These two are registered to this block.

- And him?

- I'll have to run his blood

through a DNA profiler.

If I can figure out which blood is his.

What do you make of this, rookie?

I don't know, sir.

It's a cold-burn from a Slo-Mo inhaler.

Slo-Mo?

Only just hit the grid,

but it's making big waves.

Makes the brain feel as if

time is passing at 1 % its normal speed.

Guess it felt like a long way down.

Positive on your lDs.

All showing convictions for possession

of narcotics. Transmitting data now.

Small-time perps. Junkies. No known

gang affiliation. What's your analysis?

Drugged. Skinned. Displayed in public.

I think it's a punishment killing.

Someone's trying to send a message.

Yeah. Don't f*** with the Ma-Ma clan.

Ma-Ma clan?

We have her on record

from her whoring days.

The picture's pretty old,

but that's her.

Madeline Madrigal, aka Ma-Ma.

Ex-hooker from the S-9 pleasure district.

Quit working when she got sliced up

by a pimp. She got her own back.

Block legend says she's feminized

the guy with her teeth.

Took over his business interests

and never looked back.

Anyone else,

you'd say it was bullshit, right?

Not with Ma-Ma. Her trademark is violence.

Not so long ago, there were three main

gangs hustling for control of Peach Trees.

The Peyote Kings,

the Red Dragons, the Judged.

Then Ma-Ma arrived.

What the f***?

Let's go!

Took over the top floor of the block

and started working her way down.
