DREDD:
GOT IT!
2. Dredd trains his Lawgiver on 20th Century cops Franz and Smits.

I'VE WASTED ENOUGH TIME, THANKS TO YOU TWO.
Link:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF LAWS YOU ENFORCE BUT YOU WOULDN'T LAST LONG IN MEGA-CITY ONE!

DREDD:
PUT THESE CUFFS ON MY PRISONER. HE'S GOT A LOT TO ANSWER FOR IN THE FUTURE!

DREDD:
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
MORT:
I WENT TO SOME SCIENCE LAB IN THE FUTURE. THERE WAS A WOMAN THERE, PROFESSOR COSTER.
2. Franz watches as Mortimer explains to Dredd.
MORT:
SHE GAVE ME A MESSAGE FOR YOU. SHE BELIEVES YOU'RE CAUGHT IN A TEMPORAL PARADOX.

BUT IF I DON'T, THE TIME IMPLOSION COULD CONSUME ALL OF HISTORY!

A FIRESTORM THAT WILL CONSUME EVERYTHING IN A THREE-MILE RADIUS - IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES!
2. Dredd shakes Mortimer by the shoulders for more info.

THERE MUST BE A WAY OUT OF THIS! WHAT ELSE DID PROFESSOR MORTIMER TELL YOU IN 2120?
MORT:
SHE SAID THE ANSWER WAS IN YOUR LAWMASTER'S ON-BOARD COMPUTER, WHATEVER THAT IS...
3. Cut to Dredd astride his Lawmaster, looking at the computer screen.

"WHILE JUDGE DREDD ACCESSED FILES ABOUT THE BLACKWOOD INCIDENT, I TALKED TO THE COPS..."
FRANZ:
SO NOBODY WAS WEARING SILVER?
2. Mort shrugs, Franz looks a little happier. Dredd approaches in b/g.
MORT:
NO, THEY JUST HAD NORMAL CLOTHES.
FRANZ:
GOOD. IN TV SHOWS ABOUT THE FUTURE, EVERYONE ALWAYS HAS WEAR SILVER. I HATE SILVER!

DREDD:
THIS AREA - THE BLACKWOOD STATE PARK - IS ABOUT TO BECOME A RADIOACTIVE WASTELAND!

HE'S GOT CRIMES TO ANSWER IN THE YEAR 2120.

THANKS. NOW GET GOING!
