"What the fuck?" "Let's go." "Took over the top ﬂoor of the block and started working her way down." "Nine months later, she had control of everything." "Levels one to 200 are hers."

"There's a problem on level 39." "Judges hit the distribution point and shot the place up." "Took out a few of the boys." "So what?" "We're overdue a bust." "It's just the Judges showing their faces, reminding the citizens they exist." " No, Ma." "They picked up Kay." " Executed?" "Interrogation." "They're taking him in right now." "Fuck."

"I put in the notification myself three fucking times." "We are good to go right now." "I have got my supervisor breathing down my neck." "Hold fire, Peach Trees." "Let me get on this." "Okay." "I put you on the system." "Hall of Justice and all emergency services are notified to ignore your status." "You can run the test any time you like." "Appreciate that, Sector." "You just saved my ass over here." "You're welcome, Peach Trees." "Sir, he's thinking about making a move for your gun." "Yeah." "He just changed his mind." "Yeah."

"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 fuck 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 will 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 going to hand these Judges back to Ma-Ma on a plate." " Stay fucking focused." " Judges got it coming." "Judge, come and get me." "We're going to have to go through them." "Stun grenade." " Kill that motherfucker." " Let's give them the good news." " Man up that corridor, man." " Fuck up the Judges." "Fuck 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 going to blow the fuck out of you." "Ten seconds to comply." " Fuck 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 in the block after your blood." "There are no sides." "You're already dead." "Looks like the Med Center's closed early today." "Switch weapon to silencer mode." "Our best bet now is to go covert." "Conserve ammunition." "And don't shoot unless you're going to hit." " Sir, what about the prisoner?" " Explain." "Under the circumstances, he could be a liability." "Also a prime suspect in three homicides." "What do you say, rookie?" "Want to cut him loose?" "No, sir." "Get up." "Go, go, go." "Hold up." " Move." " Keep your eyes peeled." "Man, stop telling me what to fucking do." "I know that new shit..." "Cathy?" " Who's there?" " Cathy, open the door." "We're not going to hurt you." "Clear." "Secure the woman somewhere she can't raise any alarms." "We can't." "She has a baby." "Asleep in the next room." "We can't secure her if we don't know when she will be freed." "Is there a father?" "He's out there." "Looking for us." "Say that." "What you were just thinking." " How did you..." " It's okay." "Go ahead." "I am not raising any alarms." "If the men out there don't know where you are, you won't be killing them." "Go on." "There's a service elevator near here." "The sign says it's broken, but it works as long as you're hitting a button above level 75." "I just want you off my level." "Away from my family." " Cathy, I..." " Don't thank me." "It's not for you." "I just don't want to see you again." "You won't." "This drug shifts like nothing I have ever seen." "If we play this right, we could take the whole fucking city." "The only danger is we expand too fast." "In the last few days, we have added distribution to three new blocks." "And pretty soon, we're looking at making inroads into Sectors 9 and 15." "Fifteen is still Red territory." "Ma." "You better come quick." "Okay." "We got one here, maybe 11 outside the Med Center." "There's eight in the stairwell and another five on level 18." "They have downed 30 plus and haven't even taken a scratch." "Where are they now?" "I don't know, but they seem to be moving their way up the block." "No, wait, wait." "I just picked them up." "They're on level 76, west quadrant." "Do you want me to patch you back into the PA?" "We could get level 60 through 80 converging on them." "No." "Can you seal them in there?" "Sure." "War override gives me total control of the building." "That's not good." "Full lockdown." "They're going nowhere." "I tried to do this clean, but they wouldn't let me." "So now we do it messy." "Too late, Judge." "Caleb, come in." "Ma." "We have got them cornered." "We're taking them down right now." "We'd need oxyacetylene to cut through." "They know where we are." "Why aren't they coming after us?" "That's what worries me." "Take him back to the main lobby." "Hold position behind the elevator shaft." "Be a good place to defend." "Where are you going?" "If I don't come back, and you get cornered, you might not want to get taken alive." "Your call." "Sir." "Get away from the door." "Sit down." "He's right, you know." "About not wanting to be taken alive." "The stuff the clan would do to a girl like you..." "Nasty." "We had a girl one time, girl about your age and..." "Well, anyway..." "I am just saying, save the last bullet for yourself." "Yeah, and I will save the second to last one for you." "Sure." "So you're a mutant?" "Most of you poor fuckers got three stumpy arms, or no arms." "But I guess you lucked out." "You fit together pretty well." "Psychic." "So fucked up." "Yeah, I heard about your kind." "Kind of hard to believe it's real." "Like..... what am I thinking about right now?" "You're picturing a violent sexual liaison between the two of us in a.... ...pointless attempt to shock me." "You're good." "But I wasn't trying to shock you." "If I was trying to shock you, I'd have been thinking about this." "What are you thinking about now, huh?" " What the fuck was that?" " Get back inside." "Hurry the fuck up." "Move your fucking asses." "Move." "Move." "Back in the house." "Get in the house, now." "Shit." "Fire." "Frank." "Frankie." "Let's go." "Move." "Get back." "Concentrate the fire." "High ex." "Move." "There's no way they survived." "They're not dead till we find them dead." "Or part of them anyway." "Comms are back on." "Control." "Do you copy?" "Affirmative." "10-24 on my GPS." "Request immediate assistance." "Copy, 10-24." "Judges under fire." "Showing your location as Peach Trees, Sector 13." "Confirm." "Confirm." "Be advised, blast door defenses have been triggered." "Can you hold your current GPS?" "Negative." "If they come for us, we have got nowhere to go." "Copy that." "Backup is on its way." "Just stay alive." "We got to go back in." "God damn it, man." "What the fuck?" "No." "No, no." "Your gang locks down a whole block." "Massacres an entire quadrant of men, women and children, just to take out two Judges." "Sound like overkill to you?" "I will tell you what I think." "I think if we'd executed you at the bust, Ma-Ma would have let us walk out of here." "What she doesn't want is you taken back to the Sector house." "She doesn't want you interrogated." "She's afraid of what you might say." "And that's got me curious." " Spill it." " Fuck you." "Sir." "Sir." "If you leave it to me, he doesn't have to speak." "What are you up to, bitch?" "Welcome to the inside of your head." "It's kind of empty in here." "I don't know what kind of mutant shit this is, but if my hands weren't cuffed..." "You aren't cuffed, if you don't want to be." "My head." "Do what I like?" "Sure." "Thinking about hurting me doesn't actually hurt me." "Yeah." "Points to you." "Except there is that thing." "What thing was that?" "That I know how to freak you the fuck out." "See, if you're talking about my fucked-up head versus your fucked-up head," "your fucked-up head is going to lose." "I figured that would shut you up." "Hey." "I can play mind games, too." "You fucking bitch." "You sick fucking bitch." "We haven't even started." "Got it." "Peach Trees is the manufacturing base for all the Slo-Mo in Mega City One." "Ma-Ma's controlling the production and distribution across the whole city." "Interesting." "Peach Trees." "Can I help you?" "We're responding to a report of Judges under fire from within this block." "Judges under fire?" "I am unaware of any such activity." "We're actually undergoing a scheduled war defense test." "Not anymore, you're not." "Open the blast door right now." "Yes, sir." "The problem is we have had a software malfunction and I have lost control of the system." "We have had a fire on level 76." "You better get control fast." "Or I am slapping you with an obstruction of justice charge." "Five years in the cubes, mandatory." "Will do, sir." "I am on it right now." "Thank you." "We have new intel about Ma-Ma, and we have managed to get a 10-24 to Control." "Parameters are shifting." "What are the options, Anderson?" "Keep moving and attempt to avoid further detection, or find a place to defend." "Same as before, except now we know backup's inbound." "You're giving us two options." "Defend or hide." "Yes, sir." "What about we attack?" "Head straight for Ma-Ma." "Is that an option?" "Well, she's guilty." "We're Judges." "Sir, with backup inbound, I think we should wait until the odds have shifted in our favor." "Wrong answer?" "You're the psychic." "Clear." "Why didn't you shoot him?" "What do you mean, why didn't I shoot him?" "Why didn't you?" " Okay, we could do it now." " Do it." " No, you do it." " You do it." "Shit." "Shit." "Why did it have to be us who found him?" "All right." "Come on." "Come on." "Info terminal." "Let's check the schematics." "Freeze." "Why?" "Why what?" "Well, why should I freeze?" "Because otherwise I will shoot you." "With the safety on?" "It isn't." "How do you want it, kids?" "Body bags or juve-cubes?" "Makes no difference to me." "Fuck." "Stun." "You are so fucked." " Blondie." " Come on." "Come on, you bitch." "Hold that bitch down." "Jesus." "Now then, what am I going to do with you?" "You're going to do nothing." "All this trouble is your doing." "When you got busted, you should have killed the Judges or been killed yourself." "But instead you let yourself get taken like the dumb fuck you are." "But I..." "Shut the fuck up." "I'd kill you myself, but I already lost plenty today." "I can't afford to lose more." "Sooner or later, the Justice Department is going to come through the blast doors looking for their Judges." "They will find their bodies all shot up." "One on level 25, one in the Slo-Mo den." "Just a bust that went wrong." "That means no torture." "No raping, no skinning." "Just a bunch of bullets to the head and chest." " Do you understand me?" " Yes." " Do you fucking understand me?" " Yes." "Ma." "He's back." "It's the other Judge." "He's patched himself into one of the terminals." "I think he's trying to access the PA." "Can't you stop him?" "I can shut down the whole system, but, if you let him talk, I can trace which terminal he's using." "We will know exactly where he is." "Inhabitants of Peach Trees." "This is Judge Dredd." "Let him talk." "In case you people have forgotten, this block operates under the same rules as the rest of the city." "Ma-Ma is not the law." "I am the law." "Ma-Ma is a common criminal." "Guilty of murder." "Guilty of the manufacture and distribution of the narcotic known as Slo-Mo." "And as of now, under sentence of death." "Any who obstruct me in carrying out my duty will be treated as an accessory to her crimes." "You have been warned." "And as for you, Ma-Ma..." "Judgment time." "I got him." "He's only 10 levels below us." "South quad balcony." "Terminal 5." "Motherfucker." "Fucker still hasn't gone down." "It's not him." "Incendiary." "How the fuck are we going to stop this guy?" "Call 911." "Got a 10-24 from this block." "Two Judges under fire, requesting urgent assistance and you're standing outside." "Block's under lockdown." "Malfunction with their defense system." "Open up." "Now." "You're relieved." "So what have we got?" "Two Judges trigger a turf war." "Judges die in pursuit of duty." " And the perps who killed the Judges?" " Laid out here." " Sounds right." " Excuse me." "It's not what's happened." "I have been here right from the start." "This killing's all about one gang." "The Ma-Ma clan." "And from the sound of gunfire," "I'd say at least one of your two Judges is still alive." " Are you prepared to testify to that?" " Sure." "One million credits." "A million?" "You have a problem with a Judge." "You know who he is?" "No." "I do." "One million." "Fine." "Kaplan, protection detail on client." "Chan, Alvarez, we're flushing him out." "You got it." " Where's the other one?" "The rookie." " We got her here." " Dead or alive?" " Alive." "Make her dead." "You, there." "Identify yourself." " Chan." "Sector 9." " Dredd." "Sector 13." "Responding to your 10-24." "Good to see you, Dredd." "Likewise." "You alone?" "Negative." "Three-man squad." "Closing on my vector right now." "So relax." "Cavalry's here." "Two." "Two?" "Two of us called in the 10-24." "Wondering why you didn't ask about the other one." "Lex, move it." "Choke on it, Dredd." "Choke on that." "Shit." "Bet you thought you were going to make your family proud, huh?" "Not much chance of that now." "Now this, I always wanted one of these." "This is..." "You were shit out of luck when you ran into the Ma-Ma clan." "But don't feel too bad." "I seen a lot of Judges in my time, and you're just not cut out for this." "I mean, if you didn't get killed today, it was going to be tomorrow." "Or it was going to be the day after that." "Anyway." "Today it is." "You got any last words, bitch?" "That's funny." "I was going to ask you that." "Bitch." "Kay's dead." " Find somewhere to hide." " Where are you going?" "I have got the girl cold." "I see her first, I shoot her." "She sees me first, she hesitates, then I shoot her." "What's the price of a Judge these days?" "Million." "Split four ways." "Three ways now." "Suits me." "Doesn't sound like much." "To betray the law." "Betray the city." "Save that shit for the rookies." "Twenty years I have been on the streets." "You know what Mega City One is, Dredd?" "It's a fucking meat grinder." "People go in one end." "And meat comes out the other." "All we do is turn the handle." "Rapid fire." "Incendiary." "Armor piercing." "High ex." "Motherfucker." "Two-way split." "Yeah, I'd be breaking a sweat, if you hadn't just run out of bullets." "Lower your gun, rookie." "I am your backup." "Armor piercing." "Wait." "Wait?" "Are you kidding me?" "Did you just say "wait"?" "Judge Dredd, the Judge Dredd finally gets on the wrong end of a gun, and what he says is "wait."" "You know what?" "I expected more of you." "I mean, wait for what?" "Wait for me to change my mind?" "Wait for another two or three seconds of life because you're so fucking weak you just can't stand to see it end?" "No." "Wait for her to shoot you." "Okay." "Basic field dressing." "Reload." "Ready?" "Yeah." "You look ready." "No, no, no, don't shoot." "Please don't shoot me." "I am not armed." "I am not armed." "I can help you." "How?" "Ma-Ma's in her private quarters, but it's behind 10 inches of steel." "So you can't get in there without the keypad combination." "I can give that to you." "I don't need your cooperation to get the combination from you." "I am sorry." "I am sorry." "I am sorry." "Go." "Get out of here." "Mind explaining yourself, rookie?" "Abetting a felon is not just a fail offense." "It's a crime." "I already picked up the fail when I lost my primary weapon." "I am not going to be a Judge, and I don't need to be a mind-reader to know it." "He's a victim, not a perp." "And until my assessment is formally over, I am still entitled to dispense justice." "And that's what I just did by letting him go." "Maybe that will be the one difference I do make." "The code to Ma-Ma's chambers is 4-9-4-3-6." "Let's finish this." "You're a piece of work, Dredd." "But then so am I." "You think I didn't know I'd get busted some day." "Goes with the territory." "This entire level is rigged with enough high explosives to take out the top 50 stories." "If they go, the rest go, too." "Like the jewelry?" "It's a transmitter synched to my heart beat." "My heart stops beating, the building blows." "Everyone in it, ash." "You got no way out, Judge." "Put your gun down." "Do you know how many people live in this block?" "This isn't a negotiation." "The sentence is death." "You can't afford to take the risk." "We're a kilometer above ground."
