cadets' asses ? That's what they say in the squad room, isn't it ? It's irrelevant. You set the standard, sir. Now you do... at least to many young cadets. You're a legend. Sir. You remember your days as a cadet, Joseph ? I remember what you taught me, sir. You were my finest student. So, I've drawn a new assignment for you. Starting tomorrow, you're going to spend two days a week at the Academy. I'd be honored, sir. narmed combat or marksmanship ? Ethics. Wait here. [ Male Computer Voice ] Remain still. Identify yourself. Miller. Warden. Voice sample recognized. Thank you, Warden. System disarmed. [ Man ] Why are you here ? Did you come for another chat ? Just a short one, I'm afraid. Duty calls. Ah, duty ! Feeding these parasites here at the public's expense ? Yeah. You especially ! I don't cost anything. I'm a ghost. And we're both prisoners here. You're behind your desk... and I'm behind this. What a clever reward from Fargo, huh ? I mean, considering the services. When you started killing innocent people, Rico, you went beyond service. The innocent exist only until they inevitably become perpetrators... like you. Guilt and innocence... is a matter of timing. Your... Our mysterious benefactor... has sent you a package. Deactivate shield. Autoguns only. [ Computer ] Autoguns reactivated, Warden Miller. Hmm. - [ Warden ] What is that ? - It's an ancient puzzle... that contains the meaning of life. [ Chuckling ] So, tell me, Rico, what is the meaning of life ? It ends. [ Groaning ] Stop ! Computer! Activate alarm ! [ Computer ] Voice not recognized. Guns are training. Remain still. Security, override and unlock ! Come on ! [ Alarm Beeping ] [ Screams ] Kevlar 9 helmet and body armor. Yours... when you graduate. Lawgiver Two. 25-round side arm with mission-variable voice-programmed ammunition. - Signal flare. - [ Lawgiver Two ] Flare. Yours... if you graduate. Mark 4 Lawmaster, improved model, with dual on-board laser cannons, vertical take-off and landing flight capability. Range: 500 kilometers. - Men. - Yes, sir. [ Lawmaster: Female Voice ] Active. Malfunction. Malfunction. Malfunction. Hmm ? Yours if you can ever get it to work. [ Cadets Laughing ] All of these things you see here are toys. At the end of the day when you're all alone in the dark, the only thing that counts... is this: the Law. And you will be alone when you swear to uphold these ideals. For most of us, there's only death in the streets. For the few of us that survive to old age, the proud loneliness of the Long Walk. A walk that every Judge must take... outside these city walls... into the unknown of the Cursed Earth. And there spend your last remaining days... taking law to the lawless. This is what it means to be a Judge. This is the commitment I expect. Class dismissed. [ P.A. System ] Attention all personnel. Due to the recent disturbance in Heavenly Haven, there will be increased patrols in Sector 4. Please check with your commanders to see if you are affected... by these scheduled changes. I can hear you thinking. I caught your lecture today. Is that really what you think the cadets need to hear ? - What I told them is the truth. - Your truth maybe. You made it sound like our lives are practically over. Don't you think... parts are, Hershey ? I have a personal life. I have friends. You're one of the smartest of the new breed, but you've only been on the street a year. You haven't gotten used to the isolation yet. No. No, I don't think that's right. No one is supposed to be alone all the time. I mean, is that really what it's been like for you ? Don't you ever... Haven't you ever had a friend ? Yes. Once. What happened ? Dredd, wait. I want to know. What happened ? I judged him. [ P.A.
