Judge Dredd Page #4

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.

l'm the chaos.

You want a new beginning ? Here !

l am the new beginning !

[ Pilot ]

This is Aspen Shuttle CF-188.

Due to storm cloud activity over the

desert, we will be flying at 60 feet.

Flight time approximately

four hours.

Dredd ? Don't hit me. l'm sorry.

l'm sorry. Don't hurt me.

What are you doing here ?

l was convicted of a crime.

Wrongly convicted.

[ Laughing ]

Really ?

That's kinda weird.

What are the odds ?

Two wrongly-convicted guys

sittin' right next to each other.

You received the sentence

the Law required.

Five years...

just for saving my own ass ?

That was a mistake !

The Law doesn't make mistakes.

Really ? Then how do you explain

what happened to you ?

You can't... can you ?

great !

mr. "l am the law" can't.

So, maybe,

this is some kind of typo.

Maybe it's a glitch.

Or maybe

it's poetic justice !

Shuttle comin' ! Shuttle !

Shuttle !

Shuttle comin', Pa !

Look !

Praise the Lord for bringing us

this generous bounty.

My sons...

gather the harvest.

So maybe you're here

as some sort of field trip.

Yeah !

Maybe this is some

sort of... surprise party.

Whoo ! Gonna catch me

some city boy !

[ Yelling ]

lt's payback time, Dredd !

[ Yells ]

Dredd, what's happening ?

[ Screaming ]

By a blast of God

they perish.

And by a breath of His nostrils

are they consumed.

Hallelujah !

[ Hershey ] Central, l need you

to access graphics data base.

l want you to run

an l.D. on this man.

[ Central ]

Scanning for identity. nknown male,

approximately 200 centimeters tall,

skin tone three.

ten, nine, eight..

Central ? Hello ?

[ Central ] This terminal has been

terminated from the main system.

Your authority has been removed,

Judge Hershey.

This is Group Leader.

We've located the shuttle.

This is Capture Team.

There's no sign of Dredd.

[ Group Leader ]

He appears to have survived the crash.

[ Griffin ] You are in error, Capture

Team. No one survived the shuttle wreck.

nderstand ?

Just find Dredd !

The pilot, sir.

He's alive.

No one survived the shuttle wreck !

Do l make myself clear ?

Yes, sir.

[ Groaning ]

Am l dead ?

Am l dead ?

l'm dead !

[ Laughing ]

- [ Growls ]

- Awake !

Good !

We're running out

of sinners.

Oh, my God !

- Dredd, do something !

- Dredd ?

You talk too much.

Can it be ?

[ Whimpering ]

The great man

of the Law himself.

[ Chuckling ]

[ Laughing ]

O Lord, you have

blessed us indeed !

Judge "rat" Dredd.

You creeps

are under arrest.

ls that so ?

Let me crush him, Pa.

- Excuse me. We're not together.

- [ Laughing ]

Allow me to introduce you

to my family.

- There's Link, my oldest.

- Bite me !

Hi !

My youngest, Junior.

- Howdy.

- Hi !

[ Everyone Laughing ]

And this here is Mean.

We had to make some alterations

when he was a child.

The Cursed Earth's

a tough place on young folks.

l now have him set on one.

l don't suggest you make him angry.

The legendary Angel family.

Cursed Earth pirates,

murderers, scavengers.

- And, of course, scumbags.

- Oh, that'll win 'em over !

Did l leave something out,

Pa ?

- Let me kill 'im, Pa. l want his ears.

- l want his teeth.

[ Snickering ]

Does that come with a fork,

handsome ?

Hallelujah, brother !

Wait a minute.

Can it be ?

Can it be that from

the city of the fallen...

- we have one of the faithful ?

- Amen, brother !

- Praise the Lord ! l'm a believer !

- Fergie, don't do it.

lt sounds like we have

a believer in the gallery.

- Yes !

- Cut him down !

- Go tell it on the mountain !

- Fergie.

You're making

a big mistake.

Well, Dredd, maybe the Law

doesn't make mistakes,

but l'm free

and you're toast.

Actually, you're toast.

l forgot to mention it.

Your new friends,

they're cannibals.

- Fresh meat.

- Prepare the supplicant for sacrifice.

No, wait.

You can't eat me !

l've got eczema. l've got warts.

l've had gonorrhea.

Eat Dredd.

He works out.

Yum, yum.

lt's been fun, Lawman.

[ Groaning ]

Finish Dredd.

My pleasure, Pa.

Come on.

Come on !

Come on, Junior !

- [ Yells ]

- Guilty !

- [ Yelling ]

- Shut up !

- Dredd, look out !

- [ Yelling ]

There's Dredd !

- Go !

- [ Grunts ]

[ Gasps ]

Well, we did it.

We got 'em all.

- Hmm.

- Pussies! ls that all you got ?

They are dead, right ?

Have you been crying ?

l'm not crying.

l got something in my eye.

You ever have allergies ?

Dredd, look out !

- Chief Justice !

- Joseph, together again.

Together again, sir.

- [ Groaning ]

- No !

[ Yelling ]

- God, not again !

- [ Yelling ]

You got three strikes,

Lawman !

Strike one.

[ Snickering ]

Strike two !

Strike three.

You're out, Lawman !

You killed Link !

You killed Junior !

You killed my brothers !

You even killed my pa.

[ Yelling ]

Mega City municipal code 4722:

lllegal use

of city electricity.

- How do you plead ?

- [ Yelling ]

l knew you'd say that !

[ Screaming ]

[ Olmeyer ]

Graphics analysis now.

olmeyer, you stupid futz !

l can't..

You analyzed the wrong viewie,

all right. The wrong one. This one !

l don't believe it.

You just wasted three hours.

lf this is

the wrong picture,

why is it fake ?

What ?

Look. lt's full of anomalies.

Really clever ones too.

Somebody must've used a C.G.l. terminal

and a scan quad to make this.

This is state-of-the-art...

twenty years ago.

Are you saying

this isn't real ?

Yeah. Look, l'll drop out

all the artificial pixels.

Dad. Mom.

Foreground.

Background.

All fake.

The only thing that's real

is the baby.

[ Thunderclaps ]

[ Thunderclaps ]

Oh. The blind lady.

Who is she ?

Justice...

before your time.

We should never have taken

justice out of her hands.

- You brought order to chaos, sir.

- That we did.

Solved many problems,

and created many more !

- [ Thunderclaps ]

- Being a Judge, Joseph,

perhaps too much power

in one person's hands.

We once tried to compensate:

create the perfect Judge.

We called it Janus.

Four decades ago,

D.N.A. samples were taken

from the original Council.

One was chosen.

Mine.

We altered it to enhance

the best qualities...

and screen out the worst:

weaknesses, frailties.

We created you.

You didn't create me,

sir.

- l have a family.

- No.

At the Academy, you told me they

were killed when l was very young.

A lie.

l have a picture of them.

A fake.

We lied... to both of you.

Both ?

There was another infant

created in that experiment,

but something went wrong.

Genetically mutated

to the perfect criminal.

l have a brother ?

You were best friends at the Academy.

Star pupils.

And then he turned.

And for his crimes, you judged him.

[ Loud Thunderclap ]

Rico ?

Rico.

You let me judge my own brother ?

You never told me, sir.

l couldn't !

You were like a son to me !

A son.

My whole life is a lie.

Rico had to be executed to protect you,

to protect the city.

Rico.

Rico. He's alive!

No.

l signed the order myself.

- l saw the report.

- l didn't kill Hammond.

lt was him. lt was his D.N.A.
