Judge Dredd Page #5

that convicted me.

Griffin. Hmph.

lt was Griffin.

Griffin, yes.

We've both been deceived, Joseph.

l'm so sorry.

Rico's killed me

and destroyed you !

fi.. find him,

joseph.

Don't die.

What do we do ?

What do we do ?

Find Rico.

Welcome to Janus.

Rico, l think you know

Dr. Hayden.

l remember you. Testified before

the Council that l was insane, right ?

- And therefore innocent.

- l was trying to save your life.

What you did was insult me,

'cause l knew exactly what l was doing.

Then and now.

Miss Hayden has been a loyal supporter

of this project for a long time.

She's kept it alive for me. l'm sure

you'll find her expertise invaluable.

Excuse me ! All this is useless if you

can't get into Central's Janus files,

'cause the Council

has 'em locked.

Leave that to me. Meanwhile you

have work to do... on the streets.

- llsa will help you.

- l don't need no help ! Thanks.

l thought you said he was created here

by the finest scientists of Mega City.

A bold experiment.

He's a petulant child.

Let's not bicker.

We're here to achieve the same thing.

An ordered society.

You'll have

your New Order.

[ Dispatcher ] Attention, all Judges.

Reporting unrest, code D-924.

Downtown, Sector 12.

Backup requested.

[ P.A. System ] Nineteen different

explosions in 11 different sectors.

extra caution to be taken

on approach to 914..

[ Dispatcher ] Search all areas

bordering the Elite Building.

The anonymous caller did not

specify capacity. Proceed with caution.

[ Growling ]

[ Growling ]

My boy !

[ Fergie ]

Dredd, there's no way in !

[ Fergie ] Hello ?

Are you even listening to me ?

we can't just knock on the wall

and say, "hello, cursed earth pizza."

There is a way in.

Six years ago,

two refugees figured it out.

lt's a vent to the city's incinerator.

There's a burst twice a minute.

That means somebody

could run through that tube...

and have 30 seconds

before it flames again.

And these, these refugees,

they made it through, right ?

Actually,

they were roasted.

But the theory's sound.

Shall we ?

[ Fergie ] Maybe we should

consider other theories. Dredd !

Dispatch, l'm in Green Quad 411.

Need a pickup.

[ Dispatcher ] Copy, Hershey.

l have Central on-line for you.

Patch it to my Lawmaster.

[ Lawmaster ] Warning.

Alien device on board.

Oh, my God !

Latest casualty report:

Whoever's doing this seems

to know all our procedures,

our security measures,

even our scrambled frequencies.

With no Judges on the street, riots

are breaking out all over Mega City.

We can't replace those Judges.

Even if we put the cadets on the street,

we won't be at full strength for years !

There is a solution.

Project Janus.

This Council tried to play God

once before.

lf this wholesale slaughter of Judges

continues, there won't be a Council.

- Janus could..

- Janus could what ?

A new batch of test-tube babies

won't solve this crisis.

We don't need reliable Judges

Accelerated growth incubators

are more developed now.

We could create adult subjects.

All l'm asking is that

we unlock the Janus files.

That way we at least

have an option !

lf the Council decides

not to go forward,

l'll accept that decision...

and resign.

[ Grunting ]

[ Screams ]

- All right, you ready, kid ?

- No !

- Now what's wrong ?

- What's wrong ? Are you kidding ?

Did wearing that helmet all those years

compress your brain ?

- You're gonna get me killed.

- There's a maniac loose in this city !

What a coincidence !

- There's one out here too !

- Oh.

Great time l'm having. The shuttle

crash, the Cursed Earth, cannibals.

And now a fireball up my ass !

- This is all your fault !

- My fault ?

- Yes !

- You care to explain that, citizen ?

lf you hadn't arrested me,

l wouldn't be here in the first place.

Hey, Dredd, what if

you just kill me now ?

[ Screams ] That's it !

l'm through schlepping.

l'm gonna stay here until

l'm caught or 'til you apologize !

- The Law can't apologize !

- You're not the Law anymore.

Now apologize.

l think l deserve that.

l've never apologized.

Now run !

Thirty, twenty-nine,

twenty-eight,

- twenty-seven, twenty-six,

- Run !

twenty-five, twenty-four,

twenty-three, twenty-two,

twenty-one, nineteen..

Dredd ? Dredd !

Dredd !

l don't wanna die !

[ Screaming ]

Jump !

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming ]

l'm alive !

l'm alive !

Oh... so are you.

Password, origin.

[ Central ]

Janus file opened.

[ P.A. System ] Attention.

ntil emergency repairs are completed,

ward "c" locker room

is off limits.

Psst.

l'm lost.

ls this the bathroom ?

Hey !

Now you have to admit,

l helped out on that one.

l mean,

that was all me, baby !

hey, hey, wh..

why are you taking off his clothes ?

We don't have time

for this.

Central,

using current technology,

how long would it take for Janus to

produce a fully-grown adult subject ?

[ Central ] Given the current state

of genetic engineering,

an adult subject could be incubated

in approximately eight hours.

- We could replace our losses in a day.

- This is madness.

Ah, Dredd ?

- Silence.

- Dredd !

Shh. l'm busy.

[ Fergie ]

Dredd ?

lt's inhuman.

lt's not for this Council to play God !

No, Griffin.

Please restore the security blocks.

lt seems none of you have the force

of will that these times require.

Central,

leave Janus unlocked.

Griffin, this is treason.

You have just sealed your fate.

No !

You have just sealed yours !

Rico !

Now who says

politics is boring ?

- Hey, Dredd ! l thought it was you.

- [ Alarm Beeping ]

That's right !

Cover your ears !

- Rico.

- Joseph.

Get out of here... now !

No !

- You're under arrest, Griffin.

- Really ?

Stop him ! He just killed

the entire Council !

- Move it out !

- Dredd, tell them l'm innocent.

[ Gunshots ]

Come on, Fergie !

Run !

You're a lot of fun to be with, Dredd.

You know that ?

- What are you gonna do ?

- Hope it works.

What is wrong

with this piece of sh*t ?

- [ Screaming ]

- [ Yells ]

That's a solid brick wall !

You're going to kill us !

Dredd !

You gotta make it work !

Make it work !

[ Screaming ]

[ Lawmaster ] Malfunction.

Malfunction. On-line.

[ Screaming ]

Dredd, you may want to wash this seat

after we get off the bike.

- Hmm.

- Sorry.

[ Screams ]

Dredd, move it !

[ Screams ]

- Fergie, cover the rear.

- l've never fired a gun in my life !

- What kind of a criminal are you ?

- A nice criminal.

- Nothing's happening !

- You gotta cock it first, moron.

You didn't say anything

about cocking.

Nice !

[ Fergie ]

Stop ! Please, God !

You can drop me off here.

- Dredd, that's a dead end.
