lie.
I have a picture of them.
A fake.
We lied... to both of you.
Both ?
There was another infant
created in that experiment,
but something went wrong.
Genetically mutated
to the perfect criminal.
I have a brother ?
You were best friends at the Academy.
Star pupils.
And then he turned.
And for his crimes, you judged him.
[ Loud Thunderclap ]
Rico ?
Rico.
You let me judge my own brother ?
You never told me, sir.
I couldn't !
You were like a son to me !
A son.
My whole life is a lie.
Rico had to be executed to protect you,
to protect the city.
Rico.
Rico. He's alive!
No.
I signed the order myself.
- I saw the report.
- I didn't kill Hammond.
It was him. It was his D.N.A.
that convicted me.
Griffin. Hmph.
It was Griffin.
Griffin, yes.
We've both been deceived, Joseph.
I'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, I think you know
Dr. Hayden.
I remember you. Testified before
the Council that I was insane, right ?
- And therefore innocent.
- I was trying to save your life.
What you did was insult me,
'cause I knew exactly what I 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. I'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.
- I don't need no help ! Thanks.
I 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.
It'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, I'm in Green Quad 411.
Need a pickup.
[ Dispatcher ] Copy, Hershey.
I have Central on-line for you.
Patch it to my Lawmaster.
[ Lawmaster ] Warning.
Alien device on board.
Oh, my God !
Latest casualty report:
96 Judges have been assassinated !
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.
If 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
20 years from now, we need them today !
Accelerated growth incubators
are more developed now.
We could create adult subjects.
All I'm asking is that
we unlock the Janus files.
That way we at least
have an option !
If the Council decides
not to go forward,
I'll accept that
