Judge Dredd Page #6

- l know.

[ Screams ]

Oh, God !

Fergie, take over !

Where are you going ?

Dredd !

- This is where you get off, creep !

- [ Screaming ]

[ Screaming ]

- [ Screaming ]

- Need a lift, kid ?

[ Fergie ] l'm never riding

with you again, Dredd !

She's definitely not gonna get her

cleaning deposit back, that's for sure.

lt doesn't pay to be

one of your friends, Dredd. Sorry !

Hands against the wall.

You know the drill.

- who are you ?

- Dredd said that..

Shut up !

- What happened ?

- Why don't you tell me, Dredd, huh ?

We're dyin' out there !

What the hell is going on ?

You think l'm part of this ?

l don't know

who or what you are anymore.

l would never do anything

to hurt you, Hersh.

You know that.

All right.

You tell me about him,

huh ?

You make me believe in you

like l did when l defended you.

His name is Rico...

and he's my brother.

[ Central ] The D.N.A. sample

has been taken out of frozen stasis.

- Ready for cloning process.

- We got a slight change of plans here.

l want to take the existing

D.N.A. sample right now and trash it.

Activate this

D.N.A. sampling console.

What are you doing ?

Central, take...

this D.N.A. sample now.

This wasn't part

of our plan !

Judge Griffin would never

have authorized this !

[ Central ]

Processing.

You know, Griffin got to be my keeper

by puttin' me behind bars.

What's your excuse ?

You said l had no feelings

and no emotions.

Now you know why.

Dredd... look at me.

The Janus project didn't do that to you.

You did that to yourself.

Sorry, guys, l'm getting

nowhere with your terminal.

But l fixed the microwave.

You want some popcorn ?

ls this a bad time ?

Look, l tried dialing everything l

could think of to find this Janus thing.

lt just isn't in the program.

Nowhere. Nothing.

They'd never take a chance and

put it on the computer network...

but they need power and they're

gonna steal it from somewhere.

Check every sector for recent blackouts

and sudden power surges.

- Great. Let's stay here longer !

- Wait a second.

Just before they blew up

my Lawmaster in Sector Four,

there was a power surge,

a really big one, three blocks wide.

The last time l felt

something like that,

they shut down the whole power grid

in that area, remember ?

When they moved the Statue of Liberty,

they put it right down on top of it.

- Right.

- Could we go now ?

Dredd...

that's twice you owe me.

Rico ! Dredd got away

from the hunters.

Well, he's about to be

seriously outnumbered.

- Right, Central ?

- [ Central ] Affirmative, Judge Rico.

[ Central ] The new D.N.A. sample

has been multiplexed,

and the gametes

are already dividing.

New sample ?

You left that D.N.A.

in there for over 30 years !

Sooner or later, somebody's

gonna clean out the fridge.

That sample was created from the finest

specimens on the Council of Judges !

What did you

replace it with ?

No. My God.

You should congratulate me right now,

'cause l'm about to be a daddy.

You're being

very, very rude.

You don't know

what you're doing !

The next batch of Janus Judges are not

going to be the puppets that you want !

They're gonna be my brothers

and sisters ! And mine to control !

l can't let you do this.

you're both insane ! l have to stop..

Central... help me !

[ Central ] l'm sorry, Chief Justice,

the A.B.C. robot...

is not tied

into my main processor.

That's right, Griff. You gotta

get with this high-tech stuff.

- Robot, rip his arms and legs off.

- No !

And you save his head for last.

l don't want him to miss anything !

- Anything !

- No !

- Fergie, you stay here.

- By myself?

You'll need me to shut down

the Janus system. We're a team.

Granted, you do most of the work,

but we're still a team.

- l'll handle it, kid.

- l bring you luck.

- Luck ?

- You are still alive, Dredd.

Hmm.

- [ Scanner Beeping ]

- l'm getting a signal.

lt's close.

lt's moving closer !

Jesus Christ !

Get back !

No !

Dredd !

Drop the gun.

Robot, on the count of three,

break her neck.

one, two..

No !

- Hershey ?

- l'm still here.

- How romantic. Step inside.

- [ Hershey Groaning ]

He looks a lot like you.

He looks a lot like you.

He is a lot like me.

l am nothing like you.

The only difference

between us, Joseph,

is you destroyed your life...

to embrace the Law.

And l destroyed the Law...

to embrace life.

And speaking of life,

send in the clones.

Behold !

[ Rico ]

This is where you were born.

Feel that magic ?

But you must've known

all along...

you were different.

Fergie...

are you still alive ?

Technically... yes.

[ Growling ]

Your brothers

and your sisters.

Be born in two hours.

One big, endless supply

of perfection.

You know, we have a choice.

We can stand here right now...

and create a whole race of brainwashed

morons, and call them Judges.

Or we can create

some freethinking people.

We'll call them human.

Human.

You could never

control yourself.

What makes you think you

can control... these things ?

'Cause you're in control.

You be head

of the Council.

You choose,

and you choose quickly too.

l should've put you down myself...

personally !

You know,

l never understood that.

Why did you judge me ?

Why did you judge me ?

- You killed innocent people.

- The means to an end.

- You started a massacre.

- l caused a revolution.

- You betrayed the Law !

- Law !

l betrayed this !

Your Council's experiment,

which failed in you !

l was your brother,

your blood, your friend.

Who betrayed who ?

When are you gonna stop

being a goddamn slave and grow up ?

That's your birthright,

that's your family.

l'm your family.

l'm the only family you ever had !

Now choose !

The best thing you can do

is kill me.

Why ?

Because it's

your only chance... brother.

Fido !

Rip this b*tch's arms

and legs off.

- Save her pretty head for my brother.

- Don't do it !

Halt !

Rip his head off instead.

Give it to her.

[ Growling ]

What's the matter with you ?

Rico !

- Boy, is he pissed !

- Fergie !

Dredd !

- [ Fergie ] Get him, Dredd !

- [ Dredd ] Hang on, Fergie.

Hack you, a**hole.

Rico !

Central, hatch that

first set of clones.

[ Central ] The cloning process

is not finished, Judge Rico.

The clones will be

only 60/o complete.

l need reinforcements.

Hatch the goddamn clones now !

Don't fight much,

do you ?

B*tch !

lt's Judge B*tch !

l'm the only one

who never lied to you.

l'll be the judge of that.

Now, Joseph Dredd,

l hereby judge you.

To the charge of betraying

your flesh... guilty.

To the charge of being human, when

we could have been Gods... guilty.

The sentence is death.

Don't miss.

[ Lawgiver ]

Lethal round is exhausted.

Signal flare !

Court is adjourned.

[ Screaming ]

Dredd.

Give me your hand.

That's three times now, Dredd.

Stay in back, Hershey.

- Am l under arrest ?

- That won't be necessary.

Central broadcast the Janus plan

after Griffin's death.

They all know the truth.
