Logan's Run Page #5

- Listen to me.

- Francis was right!

- You really...

- Look. Listen to me.

The life clocks made me kill Francis.

They kill people every single day.

If I don't go back

and try to stop that...

...destroy them...

...I can't live here.

I couldn't live anywhere.

Don't you understand that?

All I want...

...is to be alive and with you.

That's all.

Do you think I want anything

different now?

Must we leave soon?

As soon as it gets light.

We're going to have to leave you

in the morning.

What kind of people are you?

She promised you'd stay here

and bury me! You did!

Come with us.

Yes. Come with us.

Yes, you must.

We need you now.

If people see you,

then they must believe us.

Where you going?

We're going to a city with thousands

and thousands of people.

Young people.

All the people, all the time.

Five million.

How many?

Is that more than my cats?

More.

Much, much more.

More than? Oh, my!

And all of them alive!

Is it a long journey?

It's a journey.

We lived in most of these houses.

But they became too small for us...

...and ran out of mice, I guess.

I don't know.

I used to come fishing here...

...but somehow all the fish died.

Long time ago, now.

Nothing sadder than a dead fish.

All young people, you say?

I don't even remember what...

Although, of course,

the young people, yeah...

They say this thing

used to be called a road.

Had to give bits of metal to use it.

How far away is it?

It's much further than it looks.

It's big.

It's cold. Let's go back to the fire.

- We'll be there soon.

- Soon?

That's worth its weight in gold.

That is, when it's cold.

You know, I've been thinking.

Those words we saw...

..."Beloved husband. " "Beloved wife. "

What do they mean?

Oh, well, you see...

..."Beloved wife" would mean

my mother, see?

And "Beloved husband" would be

more like...

...my father.

- They use those words to stay together.

- Stay together?

- I can't put it any different.

- But you mean...

I mean, they lived together

all their years?

Before I come along, I don't know.

But after, yeah, they did.

So people stayed together

for this feeling of love?

They would live and raise children...

...and be remembered?

They raised me, didn't they?

Right in there.

I think I'd like that.

Don't you?

Why not?

Beloved husband.

Beloved wife.

Beloved son.

Here we go.

That's right.

You mean to say those people know

ahead of time when they'll die?

- That's right.

- That's silly.

What's the reason for that?

That's the way things are.

The way they've always been.

It takes all the fun out of dying.

But if they're all

shut up tight in there...

...how we going to get to see them?

All the young people?

What'd you say?

What does the water do?

Must be part of the power system.

The ocean tides are turned

into energy somehow.

- Does it go inside the city?

- Yes, I think so.

I don't know where, though.

Just took it for granted,

like everything else.

I think it's our only chance.

Here, let me help you!

No, I can look after myself.

If ever a time comes...

...when I can't look after myself,

I said to my cats...

"... Why, that's the moment

that you... "

Where are you?

I'll have to tell him.

We're going to try and

get in through here.

I'm sorry...

...I don't think you can make it.

Oh, my. I was so looking forward

to seeing all those people.

I want you to meet them too.

Stay here as long as you can.

We'll bring them to you.

All the people?

You know...

...they've never seen a cat.

People have never seen a cat?

Oh, my.

Don't go in there!

You don't have to die!

No one has to die at 30!

You can live!

Live!

Live and grow old!

I've seen it!

She's seen it!

Look!

Look!

Look, it's clear!

Last Day...

...Capricorn 29s.

Year of the city 2274.

Carrousel begins.

No! Don't!

Don't go!

Listen to him!

He's telling the truth!

We've been outside!

There's another world outside!

We've seen it!

The life clocks are a lie!

Carrousel is a lie!

There is no renewal!

Nobody's going to be renewed!

Believe me!

Please listen!

Logan 5...

...did you find Sanctuary?

Did you find Sanctuary?

We will begin surrogation.

Your surrogates are engaged.

Logan 5...

...you were assigned to find a place

called Sanctuary.

Report.

There is no Sanctuary.

Unacceptable. The answer

does not program.

You were assigned to locate...

...missing runners.

State what you found.

All frozen.

The input does not program, Logan 5.

You may not resist.

An old...

...man.

You must not resist, Logan 5.

Did you find Sanctuary?

There is no Sanctuary.

An old man.

You broke city seals and went outside.

Confirm outside.

Old ruins...

...exposed.

There is no...

...Sanctuary.

Answer the question.

Input contrary!

Input contrary!

You may not resist!

You may not resist!

Unacceptable! Unacceptable!

Unacceptable!
