nonfunctioning...
like my wife.
- [ Chuckles ]
- These must be 50 or 60 years old now.
Anyway...
there you go.
- Hey, wait a second ! Don't touch it.
- Why is that ?
It's a Lawgiver. That's programmed
to only recognize a Judge's hand.
You touch that,
it'll take your arm off.
Gee... how do you like that ?
I must be a Judge.
[ Clicking Sound ]
[ Chuckling ]
Happy birthday.
Status ?
[ Growling ]
Bodyguard.
- Commander ?
- Rico.
- Mission ?
- Mission ? We're going to war.
War.
I followed up some grumblings
confirming a suspicion of mine.
The cancer of oppression
goes far deeper than the Street Judges.
- You're going to say that over the air?
- It's the truth!
- Oh, Vardas, you're insane.
- I'm a reporter.
They're never going to let
this get onto the air.
Something like this could
bring down the Council.
Maybe it should. The whole system
is the problem, not just Judge...
Dredd. No !
Judge Hershey, corner of
Burns and Allen. Level "D."
Possible D.. I.
May need assistance.
[ Man ] Here we go !
[ Laughing ]
- Step out of the car, please.
- What the hell's the problem now ?
Get out of the car !
nicard, please.
Did you hear me ?
nicard !
Mr. Souza. You have
a suspended license.
- You've got three counts of
driving under the influence.
I suggest you walk away
and bother somebody else.
When I said I have powerful friends,
I mean powerful !
- Are we having a problem, Hershey?
- Not at all. Nothing I can't handle.
Suspended license.
Three D.. I.'s.
This is getting boring.
Okay, so what's the tab ? C'mon.
How much is this going to cost me ?
You name your price.
Hershey, call Control
for an H-wagon.
What ? I don't believe it.
You're going to tow me ?
Towing is for a first offense. This
is your fourth violation, bar breath.
- You're a menace. How do you plead ?
- Not guilty.
I knew you'd say that.
- Wait a second. What are you doing ?
- Grenade.
- [ Lawgiver ] Grenade.
- No !
Happy motoring.
- Subtle.
- Mm-hmm.
Judge Joseph Dredd.
Dredd,
you're under arrest.
What's the charge ?
Murder.
[ P.A. ] Attention. Chief Justice Fargo
now entering maximum security area.
- Joseph.
- Sir.
- Is it true ?
- I'm innocent.
The Council is said
to have irrefutable proof.
Do you believe that ?
There is to be
a full tribunal.
- A conviction means death.
- Do you believe that, sir ?
I just needed to look
into your eyes for myself.
I'm sorry I asked.
I would never do anything to
disgrace you with the Council, sir.
I'll use every resource
to find out, Joseph.
Have you selected
someone to defend you ?
- Judge Hershey.
- Hershey ? Why a Street Judge ?
At the Academy, she was at the top
of her class in interpretational law.
And I trust her.
The facts will come out
at the tribunal.
I'll personally
make sure of that.
Sir ?
I'm sorry about this.
- [ Reporter ] Dredd ! No !
- [ Gunshots ]
[ Man ]
Play back.
- Dredd ! No !
- [ Gunshots ]
- Dredd ! No !
- [ Gunshots ]
[ Man ]
Play back.
Stop video. The video
you have just seen...
is prima facie evidence that
the defendant is guilty as charged.
Mark it
People's Exhibit "A."
Objection, Your Honor.
This video is inadmissible
as evidence.
- If I may be given a moment to explain?
- Please do.
I have an affidavit from Nathan Olmeyer,
currently a junior at the Academy.
Cadet Olmeyer has
been acknowledged...
by every one of his instructors to be
an expert in digital and video graphics.
His affidavit states this surveillance
video is of such low definition,
no positive identification
can be made of the killer.
Your Honors,
we know that the uniform of a Judge
can be counterfeit...
and that the badge
can be duplicated,
and since neither the video
nor the audio in this presentation...
can identify the accused
in any way,
I repeat my objection to this video
being allowed as evidence in this case,
and I ask for a ruling.
Objection sustained.
[ Fargo ]
The video is inadmissible.
Yes !
