Chief Justice Fargo Joseph Dredd, you are aware that the law allows only one punishment for your crime. Death. However, it has long been our custom to carry out the last order of a retiring senior judge. And so, I step down. As I leave, to take my long walk into the cursed earth, I ask that this court honor my last order: be lenient with Judge Dredd, in gratitude for his years of service. Chief Justice Fargo Four decades ago DNA samples were taken from the four members of the council. One was chosen, mine. They altered it to enhanced the best qualities and screened off the worse weaknesses and frailties. We created you. Ferguson I'm alive! I'm alive! (looks over and sees Dredd next to him) Oh, so are you.
