Judge Dredd Page #2

block wars can be contained,

it's clear that

they're becoming an epidemic;

an epidemic that should

be dealt with... immediately.

The only solution

is a tougher criminal code.

Our situation gets worse

every day.

sectors in the last two months alone.

Violent crime is rising

at 15/o every quarter.

lf we don't increase

our resources,

they will be inadequate

in less than three years.

Three years ?

Our resources are inadequate now !

My fellow Council members,

as a city

we continue to grow,

and growth is painful.

Sixty-five million people living in

an area designed for no more than 20 !

lt's not enough

that they rely on us...

for food, clothes, water,

clean air..

Chief Justice,

the city is in chaos !

For social order,

we need tighter reins.

lncarceration hasn't worked

as a deterrent.

l say we expand execution

to include lesser crimes !

My fellow Judges,

l was barely in my teens

when l put on this badge.

When the time comes for me

to take it off,

please let me do so knowing that

it still stands for freedom...

and not for repression.

- [ TV Reporter ] 53 hospitalized.

Nineteen dead, four of them

killed by a gang of squatters...

who were themselves killed

in summary executions by Judge Dredd.

As my special undercover

report continues,

l will take you behind the

scenes at the Halls of Justice...

for a disturbing probe into

these recent riots and block wars.

Coincidence...

or deliberate ?

Dredd !

Dredd !

[ Reporter ]

Some people think working these mean

streets has a dehumanizing effect on..

- Joseph.

- Chief Justice Fargo.

You may stand at ease,

Joseph.

So, tell me. Seven summary executions.

Were they necessary ?

navoidable, sir.

navoidable.

Life doesn't mean much

to some people anymore.

- You'd see that if you weren't always..

- lf l weren't what ?

Always at the Academy,

sir.

Oh ! Don't you mean,

at the Academy wiping cadets' asses ?

That's what they say

in the squad room, isn't it ?

lt's irrelevant.

You set the standard, sir.

Now you do...

at least to many young cadets.

You're a legend.

Sir.

You remember your days

as a cadet, Joseph ?

l remember what

you taught me, sir.

You were my finest student.

So, l've drawn

a new assignment for you.

Starting tomorrow, you're going to

spend two days a week at the Academy.

l'd be honored, sir.

narmed combat or marksmanship ?

Ethics.

Wait here.

[ Male Computer Voice ]

Remain still. ldentify yourself.

Miller. Warden.

Voice sample recognized.

Thank you, Warden. System disarmed.

[ Man ] Why are you here ?

Did you come for another chat ?

Just a short one, l'm afraid.

Duty calls.

Ah, duty !
