Judge Dredd Page #3

Synopsis: In the year 2139, the Earth has changed into a virtually uninhabitable place called the Cursed Earth. All of the Earth's population have crowded into the cities across the planet, now known as Mega-Cities. The crimes in these Mega-Cities became so violent and so powerful, that the regular justice system was powerless to contain, then it collapsed completely. However, a new justice system came from the ashes, there were three justice systems in one (police, jury and executioner), they were called Judges. In Mega-City One (formerly, New York City), there was a Judge, named Joseph Dredd, who was the toughest and most stringent Judge in history. One day, he was charged with murder, and was tried and sentenced to life in prison because of it.

at the public's expense ?

Yeah.

You especially !

l don't cost anything.

l'm a ghost.

And we're both

prisoners here.

You're behind your desk...

and l'm behind this.

What a clever reward

from Fargo, huh ?

l mean,

considering the services.

When you started killing

innocent people, Rico,

you went beyond service.

The innocent exist only until they

inevitably become perpetrators...

like you.

Guilt and innocence...

is a matter of timing.

Your..

Our mysterious benefactor...

has sent you a package.

Deactivate shield.

Autoguns only.

[ Computer ]

Autoguns reactivated, Warden Miller.

Hmm.

- [ Warden ] What is that ?

- lt's an ancient puzzle...

that contains

the meaning of life.

[ Chuckling ]

So, tell me, Rico,

what is the meaning of life ?

lt ends.

[ Groaning ]

Stop ! Computer!

Activate alarm !

[ Computer ] Voice not recognized.

Guns are training.

Remain still.

Security, override and unlock !

Come on !

[ Alarm Beeping ]

[ Screams ]

Kevlar 9 helmet and body armor.

Yours... when you graduate.

Lawgiver Two.

voice-programmed ammunition.

- Signal flare.

- [ Lawgiver Two ] Flare.

Yours...

if you graduate.

Mark 4 Lawmaster,

improved model,

with dual on-board laser cannons,

vertical take-off

and landing flight capability.

Range:
500 kilometers.

- Men.

- Yes, sir.

[ Lawmaster:
Female Voice ]

Active. Malfunction. Malfunction.

Malfunction.

Hmm ?

Yours if you can

ever get it to work.

[ Cadets Laughing ]

All of these things

you see here are toys.

At the end of the day

when you're all alone in the dark,

the only thing that counts...

is this:
the Law.

And you will be alone

when you swear to uphold these ideals.

For most of us,

there's only death in the streets.

For the few of us

that survive to old age,

the proud loneliness

of the Long Walk.

A walk that every Judge

must take...

outside these city walls...

into the unknown

of the Cursed Earth.

And there spend

your last remaining days...

taking law to the lawless.

This is what it means

to be a Judge.

This is the commitment

l expect.

Class dismissed.

[ P.A. System ]

Attention all personnel.

Due to the recent disturbance

in Heavenly Haven,

there will be increased patrols

in Sector 4.

Please check with your commanders

to see if you are affected...

by these scheduled changes.

l can hear you thinking.

l caught your lecture today.

ls that really what you

think the cadets need to hear ?

- What l told them is the truth.

- Your truth maybe.

You made it sound like our lives

are practically over.

Don't you think...

parts are, Hershey ?

l have a personal life.

l have friends.

You're one of the smartest

of the new breed,
