Dredd Page #4

Synopsis: The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One - a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge - a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson, a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture - a 200 storey vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma and her ruthless clan.

Yeah.

He just changed his mind.

Yeah.

Then enter the pass key

and you should be inside.

Security protocols accessed.

War protocol accessed.

Blast shield initiated.

Warned you. Get up.

You're headed for the cubes.

Stand clear of doors.

All residents remain calm.

What's going on?

Lockdown complete.

You're patched in.

Peach Trees.

This is Ma-Ma.

Somewhere in this block are two Judges.

I want them dead.

Until I get what I want,

the block is locked down.

All clan, every level, hunt the Judges down.

Everyone else, clear the corridors

and stay the f*** out of our way

until the shooting stops.

If I hear of anyone helping the Judges,

I will kill them

and the next generation of their family.

As for the Judges...

We better move.

Sit tight, or run.

Makes no difference. You're mine.

Control, we have a situation developing

in Peach Trees. Do you copy?

- Control, do you copy?

- My comms are down, too.

Shielding must be blocking

our transmissions.

We'll head for the Med Center.

They're here!

- Call it.

- Sir?

You're on assessment, rookie. Call it.

Multiple armed targets.

Obstructed line of sight. Gas grenades.

Respirators.

Advise you hold your breath.

I want the north and east corridor

totally covered.

Sal's got the west and the south.

And spread out your hardware.

We're gonna hand these Judges

back to Ma-Ma on a plate.

- Stay f***ing focused.

- Judges got it coming!

- Judge, come and get me.

- We're gonna have to go through them.

Stun grenade.

- Kill that motherf***er.

- Let's give them the good news.

- Man up that corridor, man.

- F*** up the Judges.

F*** them.

Citizens of Peach Trees. This is the law.

Who do you think you are

coming up in here?

Disperse immediately,

or we will use lethal force to clear the area.

- Where's that coming from?

- Over there. Access corridor.

You have been warned.

You now have 20 seconds to comply.

It's you doing the complying, Judge.

There's 10 of us, only two of you.

Why don't you step out

from behind that doorway,

or we're gonna blow the f*** out of you.

Ten seconds to comply.

- F*** you, Judge.

- You got five.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Please.

What are you waiting for, rookie?

His crime is attempted murder of a Judge.

His sentence is death.

Yes, sir.

Open up.

- Open up!

- Negative, Judge.

You know what's going on out here.

We need a place we can defend.

Then you better find someplace else.

This is a medical facility. Neutral ground.

Neutral? You're not neutral.

You're choosing sides.

Peach Trees has been sealed by

blast doors designed to withstand attack.

No one's getting out. No one's coming in.

And you have every clan affiliate
