Logan's Run Page #3

the cheekbones.

With this, there's no waiting

for scar burnishing.

It's all in one.

Watch now.

Here's the improvement.

Instant healing before you feel a thing.

Hello, yes?

Yes, they are.

Done.

Pay attention, Sandman.

I'm proud of this machine.

Perfect depth adjustment on this one.

The beam will cut through that uniform

and just through the skin beneath.

Absolute precision.

Watch now.

Just imagine what would happen...

...if the healing stopped functioning.

Doc, the machine is spinning!

Right! It's a trap.

They know.

I'm a runner!

- What's going on?

- Get out of my way! Get off me!

What are you talking about?

I saw you let a runner go.

In Cathedral.

I was there!

Follow me.

Stay close.

We've got to go through the Love Shop.

Where'd they go?

A Sandman and a green?

Didn't you see them?

- Why do you run from your friend?

- Because he is my friend.

I don't want to be killed by him,

or anyone else.

He's good, isn't he?

You mean, will he find us and kill us?

Yes. Or one of the others will.

You know, they won't believe us.

Maybe not. But I'd rather take my

chance with them than with Francis.

They won't listen.

Do you think Sandmen will?

There's no other way for me.

We'll convince them.

You better stay behind me.

How will they know we're coming?

They're watching us now.

They'll let us in when they're sure.

There, 17th Quadrant K.

- Whose signal?

- Logan 5.

- Who's available?

- 7, 9 and Arcade Patrol.

Sandman, put your hands on your head.

Clasp your fingers together.

Now turn your hands over. Palms up.

In a moment, a light will shine

in your eyes.

Walk into it. Jessica first.

Then you, Sandman.

You will have to stoop,

but don't unclasp your hands.

Do you agree?

Move against the pillar.

Up against it!

Look, I'm a runner.

She brought me here because

I begged her to help me.

- He's lying.

- No Sandman ever ran.

You don't run.

You kill runners.

You have always killed runners.

Yes, I have.

But now it's my turn.

And I find I want to live.

What's the matter with you?

He's a runner! He's blinking!

We must help anyone who asks. We must!

Or we're the same as they are,

deciding who lives or dies!

Holly. Holly New You 483.

He's dead. Doc is dead.

And the Sandman came.

It's him!

He killed Doc.

Wait!

He's running.

Tell them the rest!

He's the one.

And you, too. I remember.

He was in a hurry.

A face job only.

And I said, dark hair.

And then he killed Doc...

...and you grabbed me and the machine

blew up and I ran.

I ran.

Holly, please!

The other Sandman.

Remember?

The one who came after?

That's right.

The other one came after.

And he was hunting the first one,

wasn't he?

Wasn't he?

This one was running...

...and the other one

was hunting him, remember?

He was after you.

I remember.

You were running.

I say we pass them through.

Runner...

...follow the corridor

with the pipes overhead.

The way is always down.

Then this isn't Sanctuary?

No, you must follow the tunnel...

...to the end.

Where do I go from there?

When you come to the lock,

there will be a message.

After that, there's no turning back.

No. Jessica goes back now.

Do you hear me?

You must go back now.

No, I'm going with you.

No, it's not possible. No, you

must go back.

Somebody take her back.

See that she gets out of here.

Please...

...it's dangerous.

I don't care.

I want to go to Sanctuary.

Take me with you?

Jessica, why?

You're still a green.

You're not running.

It doesn't matter what I am.

I want to be with you.

Listen to me!

I'm your friend. I understand.

We all go crazy once in a while.

Nobody knows except me. I won't tell.

I could have turned you in. I didn't.

But she's a runner.

And it's over.

Terminate her! Now!

You're a Sandman! Now, Logan. Now!

Stay out of it!

What do we do now?

Runner, this is the last gate.

Use your key now.

When the bell sounds again,

use your key.

Good luck, runner.

May you find Sanctuary.

I still have the key I took

from the runner.

There.

We must be somewhere under the city.

I'd always heard the city received its

power from the sea...

...but this looks forgotten.

Unused.

Runner, this is the last gate.

Use your key now.

When the bell sounds...

What do you suppose this was?

Looks like some sort of breeding pen.

They say people used to breed

animals, fish, anything.

To eat, you know?

Must have been a savage world.

He said go down.

Maybe we can put these around us.

Let's take our clothes off first,

before they freeze on us.

Welcome, humans.

I am ready for you.

Fish, plankton...

...sea greens and protein from the sea.

Fresh as harvest day.

Overwhelming, am I not?

Are you, too, startled?

Am I too removed from your ken?

What?

Who are you?

I'm more than machine...

...or man.

More than a fusion of the two.

Don't you agree?

Wait for the winds.

Then, my birds...

...sing...

...and the deep grottoes

whisper my name.

Box!

Box!

Box!

This place is a link

to Sanctuary, isn't it?

Link?

How do you think we got here?

Same as the others.

Don't you remember?

Why do you think we're here?

Why?

Why?

We were sent here. And you know it.

You say others have been sent here.

Where are they?

In hiding?

Hiding?

Yes.

Hiding.

You know about Sanctuary.

I know you do.

- Sanctuary?

- You have to help us.

You don't have a choice!

It's not your decision!

So tell us!

Very well.

Follow me.

This way.

How'd they get there?

Regular storage procedure.

The same as the other food.

The other food stopped coming,

and they started.

What other food?

Fish and plankton and sea greens...

...and protein from the sea.

It's all here.

Ready.

Fresh as harvest day.

Fish and plankton.

Sea greens and protein from the sea.

And then it stopped coming...

...and they came instead.

So I store them here.

I'm ready...

...and you're ready.

It's my job...

...to freeze you!

Protein...

...plankton, grass from the sea!

My birds!

My birds!

What is it?

I don't know.

Whatever it is...

...it's warm.

We must be outside.

I didn't know any place

could be like this.

Everything hurts.

I hate outside!

- I hate it! I hate it!

- Jessica!

It's all right.

Come on, it's all right!

We'll be all right. Don't worry.

We'll get there.

Just got to find some water.

It's dark...

...and cold.

And I'm tired.

Come on. We must get out of here.

Sorry.

I can't go any further.

Let's rest in here.

Do you think everything

will turn to ice?

I doubt it.

Don't ever let go.

I won't.

It all seemed to make sense...

...until Box.

You think he was telling the truth?

What truth?

Perhaps we're the first people

to get through.

Maybe Sanctuary isn't far now.

Another protected place.

Can't be outside.

Who would ever know?

And even if we find it...

...we can't go back now.

No, you're right.

It must be near now.

We'll find it.

Look!

Logan, look!

Water!

Look.

Look at your palm.

The crystal.

It's clear.

What does it mean?
