Logan's Run Page #2

Look...

...get into the water.

You need it more than I do.

Francis, I have to talk to you.

I'll see you.

Here I am.

Now tell me why.

I couldn't get you out of my mind.

I'm the most beautiful woman

you ever saw, I suppose.

Maybe.

- And you must have me?

- Yes. Something like that.

- Just like that?

- Yes, why not?

But I still have the choice?

Of course.

Then the answer's still no.

No, I don't believe you.

- That's why you had me brought here?

- Would you have come on your own?

Well, there it is. I was right.

You can have any woman in the city.

What do you really want?

Why show me?

Because I'm going to run.

Why tell me?

You know something.

About running? Dying, what?

Both. But running

is what I'm interested in.

I know what everyone knows.

Try like hell for renewal. You have the

same chance as anyone else. Carrousel.

Look, don't you understand?

It's different now because it's me!

My life.

Help me.

How can I?

Where'd you get that?

I got it from a runner.

And then you killed him.

It was my job.

But now...

...it's different.

Believe me.

I don't.

Speak to your friends for me.

What friends?

Look, I don't have much time!

I never heard of

a Sandman running, ever.

And I never heard of Sanctuary.

First level, near the hand.

Don't look for us, we'll see you.

You don't seem quite sure, Jessica.

Can you do it?

Will you?

Tonight?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Jessica.

We all are.

But he has heard about Sanctuary.

And that makes him

dangerous to all of us.

Doesn't it?

Oh, thanks, Francis.

I can use a break.

Just don't take forever,

like last time.

You love it. You're afraid

you'll miss a really good run.

You spoke to them?

Them?

Why are you here?

I'm here to help you.

Come with me to Arcade.

Wait, Logan.

We have to talk.

Yes, we have to.

What is it?

A runner. In Cathedral.

A woman. Come on.

You better go home.

I'd rather be with you.

Logan's got a mean one tonight.

- Cathedral. I better help him.

- Watch out.

Careful, they'll cut you to pieces

before you see them.

Are the cubs really as wild

as they say?

Never been there, have you?

No, of course not.

You wanted to come with me.

You'll find out.

They're wild, all right.

They're the violent ones. There's no

place else for them, unless they change.

People say it's because they're

born in breeders.

Had you heard that?

We're all born in breeders.

But most of us don't end up

running wild in Cathedral.

No, but they say human mothering

might be better.

I wish I'd known my mother.

Where do you get these crazy ideas?

When did you begin to question

Last Day?

I didn't say I questioned it.

Do you?

Entering a reservation

for violent delinquents.

Authorized persons only.

I've never been in this quadrant before.

Request door open, Cathedral Plaza.

Logan 5 authorized

to enter risk area.

They shut it to keep in the cubs.

Let me go first.

Sometimes they're

waiting just inside there.

Quick, before it closes.

Don't be afraid.

What's your name?

Mary 2.

Where do you live?

Here.

Why aren't you in nursery?

I'm very smart.

When are you green?

When do you go up?

I never go upstairs.

You're a nice old lady.

No, don't.

Might be a decoy.

Runner!

Watch out!

Circle! Circle!

Get behind them.

Don't let them get away.

Billy, come on!

Billy, we've got one!

We've got a runner and his pair-up.

And look who decided to run.

I cut up a Sandman yesterday.

They said I'd never get him,

but I cut him up good.

I feel sorry for you, boy.

For me?

You better feel sorry for yourself.

I feel sorry for you, Billy.

How old are you?

14? 15?

Your time is running out here.

How long have you got left here?

A year, six months? What happens

when you're 16 and you go to green?

Nothing will happen. Nothing!

I make the rules here.

No cubs over 15, Billy!

Look, have you ever seen

a cub who's turned to green?

You'll have to leave then...

...because they won't let you stay here.

And if you do try and stay here...

...your young friends here

will rip your guts apart!

Muscle!

All right, children, playtime's over.

How many of you want this

to be Last Day?

Come on,

we can rush him!

Come on, we can take him again!

Come on! Cut me!

Runner?

There's been a terrible error.

My life clock must have

broken in some way.

I'm nowhere near 30.

I'm 22.

I should be green.

Did you hear me? Green!

- Now, don't be afraid!

- Let me go! Let me go!

I am not going to hurt you.

Now, look.

There.

There. See?

We want to help you.

Sanctuary?

This means nothing to you?

Listen...

...if they find you, throw this

hard enough to break it.

But remember, don't breathe

until you get away.

It's blind gas.

Runner?

Runner terminated at 0. 16.

Ready for clean up,

Cathedral quadrant 39.

I must tell you now. When we were in

Arcade, I was taking you to be killed.

I'm sorry, I didn't believe you.

But you do now?

Of course.

You let the runner go.

Then tell me where Sanctuary is.

Take me to your friends.

I can't tell you.

And if I take you to them,

they'll kill you.

But you saw me let her go.

Tell them.

They won't listen. You're a Sandman.

They won't take the chance.

Request maze car, Cathedral Plaza.

Stand by to open door.

It's open.

Come on, we got to go.

Where will you go now?

Back to Arcade.

I'm going to get a new face.

But you can't, you're a runner.

No one will do it.

There's New You 483.

I think there's someone

there can help me.

Maybe there is.

The cheeks could be narrowed,

the mouth changed...

Please let me know as soon as you've

made your selection.

I'll let you know as soon

as she's decided.

Hello, Sandman.

We don't get many Sandmen.

I think we've had only one

since I've been here.

A Sandman can get as sick

of his face as anyone else.

Doc, there's a Sandman here.

Can you see him?

Doc is ready, Sandman.

I recommend a more detailed study

of our projections.

There are new suggestions for your

consideration...

- This is a real privilege, Sandman.

- For me too.

I thought you'd be older.

I mean, I was expecting a red.

I am.

Your own work?

Yes, I did it myself.

Right on there.

I'll show you.

This is the Aesculaptor Mark 3.

The latest.

It's completely self-contained.

It has a tilt bed and cryojectors

in the platform.

Well, Sandman, what will it be?

Face job? Full-body job?

Just the face.

Fine, Holly'll get you ready.

You're in expert hands.

Believe me.

Will you get on the table, please?

Want me to take my clothes off?

Not for your face.

You shouldn't have brought him here.

I didn't bring him.

What's the difference?

He's blinking.

He wants to run.

Run?

He's a Sandman.

I tell you, he's running. I know.

Maybe.

I just wish he'd gone somewhere else.

All right, he gets a face.

I like dark hair.

Tell him to give you dark hair.

All set?

Did you have anything special in mind?

I don't care, just...

Dark hair.

Oh, yes.

Holly would like dark hair.

We'll start by narrowing
