Synopsis for "Judge Dredd: The Graveyard Shift (final part)"[]
The 'left-hand murderer' picks off two more victims, bringing his total up to 113. Five severed hands are found in Maxwell's Niterie. Anderson uses her powers to find out what the murderer looks like, and his approximate location. He is apprehended in in a mall, and revealed to be Jean Paul Blatty, who was going for the record of 'most murders committed in one night'. The mutants being held at the west wall are sent back into the Cursed Earth. At dawn, Weather Control programmes a fine, fair day. A man decides not to commit suicide, and goes back to bed instead. Dredd spends ten minutes in a sleep machine in the Grand Hall of Justice, then gets back to work.

In the middle of a minefield is a group of Southers in a bubble-tent, getting high on oxygen and singing old Earth songs to pass the time until the air runs out and they die. Their plight has weakened their mental stability. Rogue finds a Nort outpost, kills the Norts and downloads the location of the field's mines from their computer. Bagman sends a broadcast to the Southers, telling them that Rogue can lead them out of the minefield, but only if they maintain military discipline. Rogue is worried that the unbalanced 'mine-ohs' won't be able to pull themselves together long enough to escape the minefield.
