It.

I'm not angry.

And I'm not asking you for special treatment.

I'm just begging.

You said I was one of your best guys.

Was. But if you can't hire me back, just ask them to take me off the

blacklist. Say that again and I'll kick you and your kid out on your ass.

Bringing her here to guilt me.

Look, I need to work.

She's had a fever for the last week.

Yeah, that ain't on me.

I'm not the jerk that spoke to a union rep about radiation exposure.

One time you got your daughter.

Your nuts didn't fry.

Take the win.

Bye. Bye.

Same kid in my office.

You know, I didn't bring her here to kill you.

I brought her to stop myself from bouncing your face off this desk.

And this is you not angry.

Next.

Next. Hey, you, tough guy.

Are you man enough to risk it all? Today is your last chance of the year to

be on the running man.

If you can duck the boys in black, the public and McComb's hunters for 30

days, you'll run away with a billion new dollars.

Go on.

I'll give you a head start.

Catch me if you can.

Woo. Come on.

We've got the cash if you've got the ball.

Don't miss the final run of the season.

The Running man.

Don't worry.

Tomorrow, 8 o'.

Clock. Daddy's not that crazy.

It's okay.

It's going to be okay.

Welcome back to Speed the Wheel, where a big boned badass bets bravely in a

bag. Big bucks.

Am I right, bud? And away we'll go.

Right back on his combo.

But for 100 new dollars, the capital of France is A Marseille or C Parry

Paris. Let's see.

Collect. Cynthia, drop a hundo in the hammy.

Oh, look at the fuzzy hamster.

Did you see the fuzzy hamster? No.

Next question.

For 1,000 new dollars, how many laboratories does a Net Air flying V luxury

jetliner have? Is it A4, B5 or C6? Say B, bud.

It's C6.

6. Toilets.

The rich are even more full of shit than Daddy thought.

It's time to speed the deal.

Oh, God.

But in my hand is the question that could change your life.

Who in pepperoni? But we hardly knew.

Oh, okay.

How's she doing? Mommy? She's really burning up.

Hey. Thank God you're here.

She's hurting bad.

That's not good.

Two drops.

All right.

Wait. What is this? Look, I know Molly said he would have real farms.

Damn it.

Real flu meds.

Yeah, well, a Little black market buddy has all the stuff to kill people,

but is sought out of the things to save them.

All right, thank you.

This stuff doesn't make her better, babe.

But it makes her feel better.

Look, I just pulled another double at the Hellhole Club, and if it wasn't

dead in the morning, I'd still be there.

So that's what we can afford today.

I talked to him.

Well, you did.

Who punched Kathy? Took her with me.

You know, guilt trip him.

No, you took her so you wouldn't beat the crap out of him.

Smart. I left my pride at the door.

I was respectful.

Maybe got a little heated at the end, but by then it was game over.

They don't want us to win.

I'm sorry.

I tried.

Hey, you're just being punished for being a good man.

You were just standing up for your guys.

I just didn't seem right, you know? I got to be a dad and they didn't.

Ben, none of this is your fault.

Doesn't change our situation.

No. We're in this together, right? Cool.

Cool. We'll think of something.

It's okay.

Wait, where's your song? Oh, Ben, those take forever to make.

No, no, it was on when we got home.

Hold on.

It's here.

It's here.

Those are her.

Comfy? Babe,

why did you kick that off?

Don't worry.

Dad's gonna find it.

Get it together, girl.

Honey, are you going back to the Libertine? I don't want to.

I thought you said that place was dead in the morning.

It is.

Except for the most desperate wasted losers.

My friend told me how to get tips out of these guys.

You, the wages do it all the time.

No, look, if you these jerks can splash 50 indie per bottle, they can

accidentally save a kid's life.

Babe, I can't let you do that.

Ben, she is burning up.

My friend makes 20 new every shift, usually from just one customer.

Hey, now, you know I never do that.

My friend doesn't even let him grab her ass.

She just charms him in a tip him for something that's not on sale.

And right now, it's prime time for that kind of flavor.

The wrong example.

Z thinks that you ripped him off.

You could end up in the dump like that girl across the street.

I'm sorry.

These men are savages.

If we don't get real farms, real doc, she won't survive another night.

We don't have a choice.

Yeah, we do.

Where are you going? Get money enough for her to see a real doc before

bedtime. You actually mean about taking chances.

People on that show never come back.

I'm not trying out for the Running Man.

There's a ton of other shows.

Look. The lowest amount someone won today, 75 new dollars.

I get on one of those.

We get the meds.

Oh, no.

People on these games get hurt too.

Like, really bad.

His kids stuff.

Next to the kind of jobs I work.

Hey, promise me you won't go on that show.

I promise.

I'll get you out of here.

I said step back.

Right. Yeah.

Tim Jansky.

Jansky is my last name.

And Tim is short for Timothy.

Got it.

Should we all go around and say our names in a fun fact? You can do it

Tornado. Spraying blood all over the galaxy.

And Mr.

Richards, you are quantifiably the angriest man to ever audition for our

shows. Well, that really pisses me off.

Proceed directly to your next destination.

Final assessment.

Ooh. Our jumpsuits are in here.

You're required to change into your size jumpsuit.

You're a bug out.

That's bang bang.

Nice. You must wear your designated jumpsuit.

You got a target on your back.

Yo, Richard.

Knew it would be us, man.

I knew it would be us.

Come on.

Happens, right?

That's us.

They say you run to add life to your days, not days to your life.

I'd say both are pretty fucking true.

Don't miss the whole final run of the season.

I always thought this was fake.

But hey, runners.

I don't know.

Feeling pretty real now.

Cannot hide.

All right, guys.

From destiny.

Feeling really OSA discretion advised.

Feeling realer every second, y'.

All. Later, Ms.

Laughlin. Hey, you're the man.

Richards never would have made it without you.

You like spaghetti?

Scroll outside the pointer.

Hey. So far, so good.

Don't worry.

We'll keep it down.

Mr. Richards.

Need a non s curriculum.

It is not death that man should fear.

Never beginning to live.

Dan Killian.

Go ahead.

Relax. Situation.

No. Critics say the Running man represents a return to the barbarism of the

Roman Colosseum.

I disagree.

I'm not doing the Running Man.

I'm aware of your family crisis, and I think the contents of this envelope

will help.

If we come to an agreement, it's yours to keep.

Call it a signing bonus.

I'll do any other show.

The most anyone's ever won on another show is a thousand nd.

And I know it sounds like a tremendous sum, but it's not enough to get your

family out of slum side for good.

Whereas on the Running man, merely surviving a single week would put the

Richards in the top 1% of global wealth.

See for yourself.

Age 66.

I'm not trying to kill myself.

Killed. Mr.

Richards, I'll be honest with you.

I've said this to every contestant, but this is the first time I've really

meant it.

You have what it takes to win this game.

Our viewers have a burning desire to see a runner go the distance.

And we've had men come close 29 days in season one.

But it's going to take somebody special to go the full 30.

You tested off the charts.

So I looked through your employment history and had my assistant shoot me

your highlights.

Now this.

It's the most thrilling 10 seconds of video I've seen all year.

Well, they fired me for destroying the harness.

Did you bounce back? Hired by Defense.

Net the best wages downtown? The best dog.

Still dog.

Then why beg to be rehired? Let's be honest.

You stuck your neck out one too many times for your co workers and got your

head chopped off.

Pretty gutsy, considering half the country thinks union should be illegal.

Well, I come from the other half, so you can kiss my ass twice.

Right there is why you can win this game.

You're a fighter, Richards.

Network blacklisted you from all the corpse they own.

Except for the this one.

You've risked your life for other men and their families long enough to do

it for you and yours.

Put your boots on, make them pay in cash.

Sign the agreement and change your family's life forever.

What father wouldn't want that?

Name your thumbprint.

Just press the box.

Welcome to the Running Man.

This is exciting.

Ah, there you are.

This is the fun bit.

I'm married.

I assume you two had an understanding based on her line of work.

She's a waitress at a club.

I've hit a nerve.

My apologies

to mutually profitable collaboration.

Matron. Doug, your Family alliance lead.

Family alliance is the network's premium private security service.

It's included in your contract.

No point winning all that, Jack, just to get your people robbed and killed.

We'll relocate the fam, put them under an assumed name.

That's the one thing you won't have to worry about.

You have one call to the wife.

Let her know we'll be there in the morning.

I need to bring her this tonight.

I promise I will be back before the show starts.

No one comes back.

I gotta lock you in a really nice apartment.

Come on, man.

I had a sick kid.

I'll deliver it now and bring back a receipt.

Can you give her this too? Hey, you okay? I'm at the network building.

I'm fine.

Look, a man named Doug, he's gonna bring you 500 new in cash.

Take her to Uptown Mercy, all right? It's 24 7.

Get her a real doc, whatever she needs.

Matt, what did you do? I'm on the running, man.

Listen to me.

I promise I'll be back.

I gotta go get her ready.

I love you.

I love you too.

Bye. Belle.

We good? Americanos.

Americanos. Americanos.

Are those my jelly hoobas? I don't know.

Are they? I told you, never ever wear my shoes.

Ever. Your feet smell like dead mice.

Now I have to burn them.

You're an insane person.

What is going on here? She stole my shoes.

Because Eliza put them in my shoe.

Cubby. Take off my freaking shoes.

Are you serious? Sam? America, you know me.

I'm Bobby K.

And if you want to murder your thirst use for an ice cold liquid death.

The official members of the money.

The starting gun fires tonight at 8.

Showtime. Let's roll.

Rest as you're running, Ben.

You're going to use it for timers, reminders and rewards.

Good luck on that.

You look great.

You look great.

Looks great.

One minute warning.

Last looks, one minute.

You got one job out there.

Say what's on your mind.

You're feeling angry, violent to grieve.

Don't think before you speak.

That's for pussies.

Go off, curse.

Shake your dick at the crowd.

It's all good.

Free me, Bobby T.

Daniel, you son of a bitch.

How many times I gotta tell you? Do not put bluefin in my moo's boots when I

pull a mercury poisoning on a.

So nice.

Your boots will not be amused.

Anne. Oh, is this the one? Is this our star? Yep.

Oh,

I know it's weird to see me in real life.

But you're used to it.

I'm flesh and blood, just like you are.

My robot puts my pants on one leg at a time.

Classic Barbie.

Do not shake your dick at the crowd.

That's a bad note.

Looks great.

20 seconds, people.

There it is.

The new Coliseum.

America. The greatest country in the fucking universe.

We work hard and after a long day of busting ass, we get to kick back and

feel good.

But some don't want to work for that privilege.

These crunchers.

Freeloaders. And why should they when they can take it from you? Welcome to

the game.

Where we give three of these tough guys all the freedom they want.

Bio data erased.

No scanners, no trackers for 30 days.

All that stands between these men and millions is you.

Record report Reward.

With over 10 million new dollars in prizes won, the best audience in the

world remains undefeated.

It's the Rain Man.

And now

your tall temptations Trustwort trail laser moment proof.

Let's go.

Your fury at the injustice of the world has stopped you from reaching your

full potential.

But now that anger is your superpower.

Embrace it.

Our first one hails from right here in Co Op City.

Ben richards.

A healthy 35 year old man who thinks he's too good to work for a living.

Mr. Richard's last job was a full time position at Defense Net.

Until he spilled military secrets to Commie Union.

He's not even in.

That's. That's.

Come on now.

Show biz.

K, chill out.

That's right.

He bit the hand that feeds him.

Because that's what dogs do.

Remember that face.

You win 3,000 new dollars for a verified report.

And 10,000 it leads to a kill win.

Double the prizes for the last win of the season.

Cause when the stakes go up and the stakes be high.

Because the thousands he wins goes to his wife Sheila.

A night bitch who only takes the biggest chips at the Liberty.

If you compare.

No.

Abandoned by Richards.

It's up to her now to raise the tragic kin of their sin.

What's that? I think it's time for.

Well, Mr.

Richards. Come on.

Can we hear it? Do you have any famous last words? Yeah.

Fuck you, Dan.

How long do you think you'll last? Long enough to burn this building down at

everyone in it.

How small does your dick have to be? Just get out there it feel.

Oh.

My eye for talent remains unrivaled.

You Mr.

Richards. And what they used to refer to as a game changer.

Now listen.

I shouldn't say this, but when the run begins, lay low with your own kind.

You'll last longer.

And also, in case you missed it in your contract, every goon you kill went

to a 10k bonus.

And it's a hundo per hunter.

I don't know how yet, but I'm going to you up someday.

That's the spirit.

Running money brothers get a 1000 new dollar van.

12 hour or a running start.

The hunters don't hunt until the recording report app goes live tomorrow

morning. The running game.

You must take 10 minutes of on camp ham per day.

These envelopes cannot be tracked.

Drop them in a network drone express mailbox before midnight or you'll be

disqualified. Thank you.

From further winnings.

But still hunt it for 30 days.

Don't die for free.

Get your takes in roll.

Run far, get rich.

Make it to midnight tomorrow.

Win 5,000 new dollars.

Awards increase by a thousand per day and double at the end of each week.

The grand prize for surviving day 30 is now a billion new dollars.

Before they can win that, who do they have to get past? Ladies and

gentlemen, meet the hunters.

Five men who fight for real freedom deep undercover.

Least expect them.

In fact, they may be amongst you right now.

And our leader.

The ghost haunting every runner's dreams.

Chief Nicole.

Search and destroy, gentlemen.

Look at him go.

Take a last look at these thugs.

Observe the typical disguises their kind used to escape justice.

In mere moments, they will walk among you.

Free to do whatever they want until we stop them together.

Sa

it.

Sa.

13th and Obama.

Wow. Hey, running Man.

I was watching you on.

On. On the preview.

13th and Obama.

Okay.

Keep on running.

Yeah. Keep on.

What's up, man? Hey, take a pic with me.

It's okay.

What do you mean, no, it's okay? You gotta be nice, man, so people don't

report you, okay? Because people will do that.

Not me, though, man.

I'm a nice guy.

You know what? You're right.

Hey, we should pull over, pick up one of these hookers.

She can take the pick, huh? Sick as I ever, man.

Him. Yeah.

Hey, where you going, man? Yeah, you better run.

I hope they burn your ass.

You did me, pal.

You.

Yo, Molly, let me in.

Hello? Molly? No.

Molly. What? You don't see me on the hatch.

I saw you two blocks away on the infrared.

What do you want? I need two ID cards and a gun.

Forget it.

I don't do guns.

Go see Mickey on Third.

What in the hell is your problem, man? The running man.

What are you thinking? I had you pegged for smart.

Look, I didn't have a choice.

Kathy was sick.

You know how much danger you put me in coming here? If you want to kill

yourself, fine, but leave me out of it.

Okay? You got it.

God Damn it, Ben.

IDs are a hundred.

It's 30 each for costumes and accessories.

I got a priest, I've got a combat veteran, I've got an exec, and the rush

order makes it 200 new, all in.

Okay. Go hide out in Survival.

It's aisle five.

I'm gonna lock the incinerator.

Oh, I already did.

You don't mind if I check, do you?

All right, you heroes.

Come and get it.

Listen to it.

The key.

Let's go.

We're all dead.

You sell a lot of these? I can't keep them in stock.

Those TVs don't want you back.

Come on.

Is this going to work? Absolutely.

Stand up again.

Okay, you ready? One, two, three.

All right.

Right. Let's test out those contacts.

Okay. Can you read anything on that shelf? BFE 20.

Holy. How do you have Black Irish? That's not for sale.

Yeah, like I put that in my pocket.

Only took a couple grams to blow up fat burks in the sewers uptown.

Bfe. Big fucking explosion.

So what's your plan? I don't know.

Lay low with my own kind.

Your own kind will sell you out in a heartbeat.

I'd find the busiest place.

You can disappear in the crowd.

That's my advice.

Well, you can leave the same way you came.

Molly, I had to do it.

No, you didn't.

I was gonna bring you on here.

Sort of as a partner.

I should have told Sheila yesterday, but I wanted to tell you myself.

Hey, too late for that now.

Well, Godspeed.

See you on big screen.

New York City.

One way.

I need to cash in the trade reser.

Safe travels, Mr.

Springer.

Thank you,

mister. Hey, mister.

Your face.

You ever saw it? You say anything, I will kill you so fast your mom won't

even wake up.

But your mustache.

So sorry about that.

Pull my sack back.

Now arriving at New York Penn Station.

This is the final stop of this train.

Welcome to the Brandt Hotel, Mr.

Springer. You shaved your mustache fell off on the train.

I hate when.

Everything okay, Mr.

Springer? Yeah, just have a good night.

Day. You know what? Have both

Sam to be on camera.

10 minutes a day.

They didn't say which part, so guess you can watch my ass take a nap.

Thank you.

I just hate this.

You should have thought about that before you Spread your legs.

One down, 29 to go.

Green light

live update.

Let's go.

Our hunters are hard at work near a co op city netmart where Mr.

Jansky is flirting with the clerk that just reported him.

Let's find out if he's also flirting with death.

You watch the the Running Man? I guess.

Heard there's this guy on there kind of looks like me and he's really hot or

something. Oh, I, I, I don't know.

Yeah, I'm going to come back in a little bit and I'm going to try to ask

that again.

Yeah. And that's Janky stepping out with his breakfast burrito.

Green light on Jansky.

Will it be his final meal? The fuse has been lit.

It's just a matter of time.

Get out of there, buddy.

Better eat up, Tim.

Enjoy those last bites before its last rights.

Move. Move.

You're walking.

It's the fucking Running Man.

Here we go.

Oh, man.

Bang. And Jennings crosses the finish line.

That's one down and two to go.

Watch tonight at 8 to see if Jenny Loeblet and his dead princess is still on

the run.

How long do they have that? Tune in and find out.

Hi. I'd like to extend my stay for three days.

I'd be happy to arrange that for you, Mr.

Springer. In the same room, if possible.

Of course.

Let me see what I can do.

Thank you.

You're in luck.

Looks like I can keep you in the same room, Mr.

Springer. Great.

Can I get you a car this morning? You know, What? I think I'll walk.

Attention passengers, this is our final stop.

Boston. Please check your personal belongings before leaving.

Thank you for traveling with that bus.

Hey, brother, I need to get off the street.

Oh, yeah? I'm looking for a place to rack out for the month that.

If you know what I mean.

Oh, is that so? I'll give you 100 new for your room and another 100 for your

jacket. A deuce hundo for this rad ass jacket in that rad ass room.

Bella, you need to get a Jamaica plane.

Pick up your head.

M. Come on.

Put that away.

When you trying to get us killed, let me see your face where you deploy

Laska. Hey, shrapnel.

You ain't seen combat.

But I reckon it ain't stolen valor if you paid me for it.

Thanks.

Every little.

You stay out of my stash.

I catch you in that basement again, I'm going to stomp you.

And I'm going to get big bro to take care of you.

He'll kick your cow ass over the moon.

Beat it.

Yeah, Good luck with that.

Idiot.

Okay. Guess I gotta make another one of these tapes.

You know, I've always been the guy who fought for us.

I showed up to work first.

I left last.

Nice. Hasn't done much for me, obviously.

I mean, I'm on the murder show.

What are you gonna do? Take on the whole world? Sweet.

So here I am, a grown ass man playing hide and seek for money.

Thank you.

I think I'll just lay low.

Keep it cool.

Try not to burn out.

Depraved, demonic deceased.

What havoc will the remaining remaining winners week? Tune in and find out.

Next up, rich and bold, it's those americanos.

Hey, Jim, how do you like this energy wine? I'm a big fan.

Love it.

How about you, Bill? That's pretty much my favorite thing.

Jim. So, guys, you mind if I ask you a personal question? Why do we all have

the same voice?

Relax, Ben.

Mail later.

Good to see you too, Frank.

Give it a rest, Frank.

You got someone to talk to?

Damn, son.

You're a weird guy.

Frank. I'm going to run the Americanos for a live update from the running

man.

Let's go

running back.

We catch up with an undisclosed bar at an undisclosed location in an

undisclosed city.

Attention is so thick, you can cut it with McComb's Knife of Destiny.

The hunters are currently descending on the location.

Orders have been given.

They're entering the premises.

Steve McComb is directing them to man out to the building.

Give me a room now.

Rover cabs have been deployed in a wing as a signal that the hunters have

found their prey.

I'm on three.

There's no way out this ladder.

But never underestimate a cornered rack.

Okay, I need to get the bag.

I need to get the bag.

I'm getting word now.

The Hun believe they've located the room this monor is hiding in.

Business plans.

I saw him.

I saw Ben Richards.

He's heading downstairs.

Will, this has been lit.

It's just a matter of time.

It.

Our hunters are triangulating the run, exact position, confirming their

location. I can reveal to you now the runner is Ben Richards.

I knew it.

Mr. We're about to find out if he can walk the walk.

I need a roofer.

On three.

Chief Bacon has confirmed the hunters have found their man.

Things are heating up.

Things are getting warmer.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

The runner's trapped inside of the building.

But what's this? McComb's given the signal.

The rover cams have entered the building.

Any moment now.

This is why we play the game running Fans have the moment of truth.

Where these animals find out we live in a society with rules.

A society where actions have consequences.

And there they are.

The hunters posted up outside Richard's room.

We're going in.

Here we go.

He's not going anywhere.

Bravo.

Hey, buddy, you're on pre meat.

The hunters are racing to intercept their prey.

Better run, Mr.

Richards. This is why we want Lionfan.

Stop filming me.

He's headed for the lock.

Richards, you're going down.

Back at you.

It's it.

I'm still here.

Just shadiers.

Tragedy strikes as an explosion at the YBA and Fenway takes the lives of a

network community guard Belinda Bray coming to you live.

Update on the running man.

Hey. Come on out.

I know you're here.

Here. Come here, rat.

Get off me.

You're the one who reported me.

It wasn't me.

I ain't no rat.

Oh, yeah? Let me go.

I'mma get big bro to take care of you.

You think you big bro can kick my ass after what I just went through? He's

not going to kick your ass.

He's going to save it.

You need help, man.

You got to get off these streets, man.

Goons and zooms all up in this.

Everyone's looking for you.

Hey. Hey.

Yo. Stay here.

I'll be right back.

I got you.

He's in here.

Nah. Told you.

Ben Richards.

No runner ever survived the love update.

How the hell you

can pay? You get me off the street for the night? Hell no, Bob.

Andy. What? We need treatments.

My sister got cancer real bad.

Make it ten.

Hear the good stuff? God damn,

I love the price in the.

How fast can you run, Richardson? Faster every day.

Just a shocking amount of destruction here.

The MCG on tactical alert as units pour in from neighboring districts

seeking justice for their fallen breath.

The NCG bomb squad is on scene combing through the rubble for evidence.

Preliminary reports indicate Richard set off the explosion in the basement.

His body is yet to be found.

I don't get it.

You can set your grandkids up for life with one recording reporter.

Do you think the network would rather pay us reward money or make up some

bullshit and arrest us? What if I gave you enough to get your sister real

farms? Say 500 mil.

I can get you out of Boston.

But it won't be for money.

Bro. This dude ain't going nowhere.

Goons got the hood surrounding.

Yeah, Stop.

Just a little pinch and everything's gonna be okay.

Just Richards live.

Find out tomorrow night on the Running Man.

You know, you seem like a smart cat.

What made you sign up to be a cog in that propaganda machine? I'm just

trying to take care of my family.

Just like you and your sister, Jim.

But my kid was sick.

I sent my wife enough to get her well.

Now I'm trying to win enough to get them out.

She's only two.

So if I do my job, she'll never even remember Stormside.

Okay, Richard, I can get you past that blockade.

But I'm gonna need a couple days to set it up.

So hot out here.

In the meantime, you know, you could go to 4:30 if you play it smart.

And what makes you such an expert? Tune in and find out.

Welcome to the pulpit.

I don't want a lot.

I want just enough.

So why is it got to be so damn wild

what goes on behind the scenes of the biggest freebie show of all time?

Welcome to The Apostle, episode 30, Real Rules of the Running Man.

The network has three types for every run.

Oh my God.

Type 1.

Hopeless Dude.

Hopeless dude is cursed with a fatal misunderstanding of human nature.

Tim. Yeah, he usually lasts less than 48 hours.

Come and get me.

Dinner to serve, pal.

Oh, damn, that's a takeout.

Oh, he is cooked.

Type 2, negative dude.

Negative dude knows he ain't got a chance in hell.

He just wants to go out with a bang or two.

Make life greater evil.

Crater bro gets smoked by the end of week one cause he buys too much ass and

not enough food.

With his running Start.

A slave to his appetites, he often serves himself up on a plate.

Type three.

Yeah. Final Dude.

Final dude has a fierce will to survive, yet he never wins.

Wins? The network cheats.

They can find anyone, anytime.

But if a runner's getting good ratings, they let him run 13 days.

And just like Papa always said, you can try, but you can't catch a ghost.

So by the end of week two, ratings usually peak.

Oh, the crowd wants blood.

And Final dude becomes a victim of his own success.

They might hide from destiny, but they never are.

One. That's me, Ms.

Carl. I'm the running man.

Double kill.

Wrist in pieces.

Best game.

Is that supposed to inspire me? Oh, come on, man.

Don't you get it? After that escape tonight, live, prime time, you.

You are Final Dude.

And they're gonna squeeze every last drop of ratings out of your ass.

So you got at least until negative dude flames out to get somewhere safe.

Which gives us enough time to set you up for the biggest underdog win in

game show history.

So where the hell is Safe? I'm working on it.

Hey, pen pal.

It's been a while.

You sure you know what you're doing? Guess we'll find out.

Got a package headed your way.

Yeah, special delivery, as seen on preview.

Okay, I see you.

And pick up location B.

Got it.

Mama's coming, baby.

Okay. Okay.

So how does a five year old get lung cancer? Radioactive dust.

The Rhode island explosion.

Never heard about that.

Yeah, you never heard of it.

Because the network owns the news.

Just like they own that munitions factory.

Just like they own the government.

So why bother complying with safety regs, right? That's how Joan got sick.

For all you watching.

Not these execs, not the technicos.

If you live in a tower uptown.

I'm not talking to you.

I'm talking to the people in the co ops.

The ones who can't get a job.

The squatter tribes.

The kids getting shot, they're looking at a go the wrong way.

There's something you all need to know.

The network is giving our kids cancer.

And they are covering it up.

Previously on the Running Man.

I'm still here, you shit eaters.

Ladies and gentlemen, last night, seven men and one woman gave their lives

to protect ours.

Their love for their country only matched by the love for their children.

Oh. Someone chose to end the lives of these eight heroes.

And that someone was Ben Richards.

His new take just arrived.

That's what he has to say about it.

For all you watching.

Not the execs, not the technicals.

If you live in a tower uptown.

I'm not talking to you.

I'm talking to the people in the co ops.

The squatter tribes, the ones who can't get a job.

The kids getting shot for looking at a goon the wrong way.

There's something you all need to know.

I laughed my ass off smoking those goons.

And I wasn't just laughing at the screams.

I was laughing at their kids.

Now you know how it felt when daddy did it to someone else.

Damn, cuz, I didn't say that, okay? I made a video about the network giving

kids cancer.

It's all fake.

Son, you got to get him out of here tonight.

Right now.

I want him gone.

Bring him home.

What kind of world are we living in? Running F? I've just heard from

producer Dan Kelly who has personally double the reward for Ben R.

Now for any congressional court of court that leads to a town.

Oh, it's gonna be crazy.

I am.

The Cas are out tonight.

Yeah, we gotta roll.

You ready? Here we go.

Okay, keep you eyes open.

Those biker boys are on the bounty unfold.

Got it.

No, they're following us.

I know, I know.

Stay cool.

None of us.

Oh God.

Yo, what's going on? Oh, they're still on them.

I know

you. Good

karma delivery.

Y' all mess with the wrong brothers.

Yeah, that's what's up.

Go, go, go.

My pen pal needs a day to prep transport to a shelter.

You can trust him with your life.

Just don't mention hot dogs around.

The man say hot dogs.

Yeah, go catch that slow train to Maine.

Less people in the sticks, but keep your head down.

And I don't trust anyone.

This guy.

Name's Elton.

Hardcore. Down for the cost.

You really think this will work? Look, we know they track novels.

You pre shoot the rest of your self tapes.

My man heads south, drops them on the way.

While you're safe underground, they won't know what hit him.

Oh, that's your guy.

Just in case.

Why are you helping me? You see the battle they have? We don't got each

other's back.

This game's over before it even begins.

Hey, done.

What's up America? I was about to tell you the network fakes these self

tapes. But if I did, they just fake this one too.

So I'm just going to read you something instead.

Dear diary, I woke up with the blahs today.

My regular gig of killing heroic goons was feeling too routine time for a me

day. So I ate my favorite breakfast in bed.

Defenseless puppies I could have eaten 20.

Then I did yoga.

I blew up a courthouse.

I now now creature habit.

But tonight, I am going to make love to an illegal immigrant.

Sheep. You know sheep.

Tells you it's horny.

Nah. Mr.

Richards thinks he's funny.

But we'll see you as the last laugh when mone catches him laughing.

Now let's see if Ms.

Laund is earned through the last of her running money.

We're still here, you shittiers.

Damn, Richard.

That's a tough act to follow.

But challenge accepted.

Yeah. Oh, go off, neighbor.

Oh, my God.

Look at his fall.

Put eyes neck.

Definitely hurt, Laughlin.

Get real.

Sheep boy's going down.

No way.

I got 10 clams says Ben Richards dies next.

Oh, come on.

He's pissed the network off all the way.

That's why he's going to win.

The guy's got mox.

Yeah, he's one of us.

Taking on the boys in black.

Giving the world the finger.

He's your final runner.

That's a bet.

Damn straight.

What do you think, Reverend? You seen this Richard's guy?

No, but he sounds like quite the character.

What's wrong with you? He's blind, you idiot.

Me again.

Look, here's the real deal.

I'm not out here trying to fight the power.

I'm not out here to have fun.

I'm here to win and get back to my family.

So you won't see me throwing Molotov cocktails.

You won't see me throwing parties.

In fact, you won't see me at all.

Just in time, father.

Best takeout in Maine.

Bless you, I swear.

Keep hearing, keep pulling.

Hey, Charlie, can I ask you something? Of course, my son.

So I got this girlfriend, okay? Am I going to hell for using rubbers? You

may well go for not using them.

I've ten brothers and sisters.

My father said he was in hell every single day.

Thanks, Father.

Have a good night.

Careful out there.

You think you're the guy who stops you from seeing my daughter again?

It

you, Richards.

Die. Die.

This is a message for my fellow citizens.

And let me make this clear.

Clear for the cheap seats.

If I die on this show.

I died for the two things I believe in.

My wife and my kid.

Everything else and everyone else can off

came on Friday night.

Here we go.

We all know what that sound is.

Is we're giving Ms.

Laughlin a run for her money.

She rolled the dice on a very public appearance at the Holy Grail Casino,

but didn't gamble that our hunters would be there.

Oh, lordy, lordy.

Looks like she went busted.

Or did she?

Fast. Hold it right back.

Not so fast, Ms.

LA. No blaze of glory for you.

Just a human candle fizzling out on a lonely Nevada road.

Now, I know what you're thinking, Bobby T.

You didn't get to kill.

No, we didn't.

But they did.

Brave defenders of their community.

Roll the tape.

Sorry, Hunters.

All you managed to kill was my vibe.

Remember, kids, don't drink and drive unless you're good at it.

That's a hostage, kids.

Beyond their cash reward, Jeff and Juno will receive a lifetime supply.

A Fun Twink cereal.

And then there was one.

That's right.

Ben Richards is your final runner.

Richards? If he survives till midnight, he'll be our most successful

contestants since season one.

Come on, hurry.

Hunters will be out for blood.

They hate civilian kills.

Things are going to start ramping up.

Wouldn't be surprised if they fire up the DNA sniffers tonight.

I don't want anything else.

I don't need anyone.

Is that clear? I'm not looking for these.

Friends don't ask for an autograph.

Alfie. What if he's in dairy? He's not in dairy, Mom.

Don't worry, it's fine.

She thinks you're an actual demon, but she's fairly deaf.

We can use our normal voices.

Kill him, Will.

Bastard. Hunt him down.

She used to be a kind, clever woman.

This is where it all happens.

Amateur lab for making handcrafted soap.

Far as you know, normal non revolutionary literature.

Wink, wink.

Copier for my harmless community newsletter, if you follow my drift.

Huh? So what's a DNA sniffer?

Slack off scanners that ID highly fragmented strands of DNA.

These things are hidden in every street lamp across the country.

Which is why you got to get underground asap, man.

If you want to ask, just ask.

What is up with the hot dog crew, Court? My dad was a cop.

A good cop.

Quit in protest when the network privatized local police.

He believed officers should be accountable to the towns that pay them, not

the government.

Sure as hell not some mega corp.

So he bought the cart, busted his ass, we never missed a meal.

Better an honorable hot dog vendor than a crooked goon.

But his friends who signed on with the NCG didn't appreciate his choices.

They let him know every chance they got.

He made damn sure we were safe in this house.

And every time he took that card out, well, you see what it did to my mom.

And this is what they did to my dad.

His buddies on the force never solved the case.

They're the ones who killed him.

But you can't kill an idea.

Dad was their worst nightmare.

A free man with a conscience.

And everything they destroyed in him lives on in me.

Like a nuclear blast that never burns out.

Monster. I'm good.

Many runners.

You can't outrun fate.

And they cannot hide from this.

That's actually not true.

Before he was killed.

Dead refurb this Cold War shelter he found in a nearby forest.

I have a detailed map for how to get there.

You can survive down there for three years, but you'll only need it for two

weeks. Appreciate the rest of your time tomorrow.

What do you think? Or maybe just white hardcore.

Check this out.

You could be arrested just for having the truth in your house.

So this won't be distributed until right after you win.

But though it's a special issue on the network's most heinous crimes.

What does that have to do with me? A bomb's chemicals hold great power.

But without an initiator to make it go boom, it's harmless.

You know why they cheered for you down there? They think you just might win.

And if you can survive against those goons, so can they.

The people have had it.

This country is ready to blow.

And you're the initiator? I'm not the initiator.

I have a guy trying to get back to his family.

It's you against the world either way, brother.

Why not be both?

My mom thinks the bathroom across the hall is haunted.

So that's all you.

If the light in the hallway is off.

Yeah, she's asleep.

Hey. I appreciate what you're doing, but if they find out you're helping me,

those same goons that got your dad.

They'll come for you.

One can help.

This message is for Kathy.

In case you see it someday wanted to impart a little dad advice.

Rule 1.

Take care of your mom.

She's your best friend.

Rule two, Bullies are cowards.

Hit back.

Rule three.

You can be kind and strong at the same time.

Rule 4.

Don't trust the network.

Ever. And Wolf 5.

You remember.

Your dead eye loves you a whole lot.

I'll be looking out for you no matter what.

I knew it was you.

Devil murderer.

Stay away from my elf, you savage.

Wait. Mom.

We'll never eat puppies again.

Mom. No.

Mom, it's okay.

He's afraid.

No, Ma'.

Am. Ma'.

Am, if you press that button, the NCG will come in firing, okay? They will

not care who gets caught in the crossfire.

It will be a bloodbath.

We don't need every good of this date coming through that door.

Right. Don't network.

Community guard.

What crime would you like to report? Ben Richards just broke into my home.

Okay, stay where you are.

We gotta get going.

I just need five minutes of fun with these guys before we do fun.

Grab your stuff.

I'll get the zines.

You're not listening.

It's dangerous.

No. Come.

Get in the safe room.

No. Ly, I want to see him die.

You hear that? Well, you're going to die.

They're here.

Mom, he's here.

Richards is in the hall.

No. Let me go.

No. I don't want to miss it.

I want to see.

Let's move.

This way.

Come on.

Yo, Nip Shakes.

You shot up the wrong hall.

We're over here.

Here we go.

Are you crazy? We don't have time to play games.

Oh yes we do.

Fastest the hunters ever arrived on scene with 4 minutes 30 seconds.

We'll be long gone by then.

Hey, big boys.

Want

I like my bacon extra dressy.

We gotta go, man.

Follow me.

Why are we upstairs?

Yes. Yes.

Help me.

Why are we upstairs?

For this.

You brought us up here so you could slide down a pole.

I brought us up here so we could slide down a.

See? Four minutes flat.

Told you we'd be long gone.

Long gone.

We are still in the goddamn house.

Not for

tactical. Flashlight.

Pretty powerful.

Yeah. Come on.

I'm gonna set for your Achilles and drag you outside.

Chief wants to enter, run in person.

On camera.

Don't let him answer that.

Still there? Yeah.

From on that's for you.

Ah, there he is.

Incredible work, Mr.

Richards. You are killing it.

Killing it.

People are dying, you psychopath.

If you could fake everything, why don't you just fake the whole show?

Believe me, we have tried.

But humans bring that special unpredictable spark.

The odds audience lives for these happy accidents.

A little advice? I'll pass.

Make sure my family gets the money.

Richards, don't go.

You can still win this game.

But you have to play it smart.

I just sent a rover into that tunnel.

Now finish off that hunter.

Wait for my cue to exit.

You want me to off one of your own guys? It's all good.

Freebie. I'll okay on you in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Into action.

Get in.

Florence. What about the door?

Here we go.

It's down the dirt road.

They're all dirt road.

Son of a.

Cross the bridge and drive me off.

I can slow them down.

Take back roads to the shelter.

Survival is the win.

This way.

Take this map.

Dad's bunker is in the middle of the forest.

Remember Richards, you're the initiator.

It's the end of your run, Richards.

It I am indicator.

The thrill of the hunt.

Can you feel it? Your heart beats faster.

Bright red blood pumps adrenaline through your veins.

This game is no game.

Life and death are on the line.

Can you feel feeling, Mr.

Richards? Congratulations.

You took out a hunter.

Now it's down to four of them.

Plus every citizen of this great nation.

One in five pieces.

West of big rock.

Bunkers dug into the hill.

Well, can you smell it? The acrid stink of fear as the prey animal realizes

he's surrounded by predators.

Reality sinks in as he scurries to hide, desperately hoping to survive.

But deep down, he already knows it's too late.

Because this is America, God damn it.

And we don't put up with no bullshit.

What must if our birthright.

Set her free.

Richard shows this past.

And it's up to you to show him where it ends.

Keep your eyes open so you can see the terror in his.

And hunt him down.

Look,

look.

I told you to get you out of there.

People on this show never come back.

This is a message for Killian.

Hey, Dan.

I'm starting to get how this game works.

It's not about me winning or losing.

It's about your ratings.

About how much chaos I can cause.

I'm taking this thing all the way to the end.

And I'm done playing defense.

I promise you that.

So here's the deal.

I will see my family again.

And as long as they keep getting paid, you can put whoever you want in front

of me.

I will run through all of them.

I know you fight dirty.

Well, guess what, you son of a.

I'm from slum side.

Let's throw the rule book out.

Here's to mutually profitable annihilation.

You want a show? Damn it, I'll give you a show.

Americana Americana.

Americana Americana.

Let's do this.

The interruption the Americanos for a live update from the running Man.

Who even likes this show? The floor is dumb.

They're the only ones dense enough to think right now.

It's so.

Stay tuned.

Contact me.

Okay,

take it off autopilot.

Drive. Take the next back road north.

I can't.

My power's on end.

Your battery is 93% charged.

Nice. Those goons are going to frag us if you don't back this car up right

now.

Your car is damaged.

Your car is damaged.

Go, go.

Keep it moving.

Jesus. Now I see why you people need self driving cars.

Recalculating.

Keep it pointed north.

All the Way to the border.

Go ahead.

Say what you gotta say.

Why? She can go crazy and kill me.

No. You have one minute to speak freely.

How do you live with yourself, hmm? You dare sit there and criticize my

driving, tell me how to operate my own car? I am a member of.

Of society.

You disgust me.

You abandoned that starving baby, that horrible wife of yours, so you can,

what, kill people for money? And you only kill the best people.

The people who protect us from.

From wealth like you.

And that's not a word I.

That is my family.

The number finally came up for the park.

Watch Kathy try ice cream for the first time.

That was the best day of my life.

So yeah, you're right.

The show is so fake.

Not the bullets, not the death.

Just the part that makes people like you think you're better than people

like us.

Let me ask you something.

How much was that scarf, huh? More than the meds my daughter needed when she

was dying of the flu.

The flu that is a human life hanging around your neck.

You seem to be doing fine.

Who can blame you? It's a nice scarf.

I'm not a bad person.

No. Do not start crying.

I will shoot us both if you start crying.

Cry when it's over.

When will that be?

Yielding for an emergency vehicle.

Nice. Disable it.

Disable it.

Do not pull.

Yield it.

In 100ft.

50ft. In 20ft, you have successfully yielded.

Nice.

Oh, hey, Richards.

You've been pulled over by the Rustic Rock militia.

Boy. We're here securing our homestead in the name of the network.

Don't worry, lady.

We're the good guys.

Just step out of the car.

You'll be safe with that.

It's him we want.

Just go.

What the is happening? Producers just killed network.

MF said me they wouldn't do that.

Those men were just trying to protect.

Protect me from you.

What is it gonna take for you to get.

I am not the bad guy.

Take the car.

Just drive away.

I don't want to hurt you.

Do you think they're gonna let you walk after seeing that? You're on the

show now.

No, I'm not.

Richards lives.

And this time he's got a hostage.

Emilia Williams, a 27 year old realtor from Bangor, Maine.

We got it.

God. Welcome to the Running Man.

The Crisis continues as Ms.

Williams Gray Albine heads north on Rustic Rock Siding Road.

The hostage situation has triggered the NCT to go into full tactical alert.

Help me.

Turn it off.

Turn it off.

And kidnapped by tr.

Unbelievable.

Yeah, it's a circus.

All right, so they're just going to keep filming us? If a runner gets good

ratings, they let him run.

Oh God.

Is that a blockade? All right.

For players parts to let us pass.

Okay, just keep driving.

I'm not gonna shoot.

How do you know? Cuz they're gonna wait for the show to start.

Live to what? Life? Kill me.

Don't wait.

Why are they turning for you? And on the hosta is unbelievable.

Amelia, can you give me the gun? Why not? You're obviously the hero.

Trust me.

I don't think we're going to need this anymore.

Record and report.

State your claim.

Oh my God.

I just saw Ben Richards.

I'm sorry.

Wait. I am Ben Richardson.

And if you don't want to be the reason Melia dies, get this message to

Killian. Do what he says, please.

You heard the lady.

Before you murder us, make up some why it had to be done.

Look at all these people who know the truth.

Are you willing to kill them? Because I am.

I'm holding on to this bullhorn with my right hand.

My left hand is in my front pouch, wrapped around £12 of black Irish.

When I used to work in Network Public utility, you get these two ton

fatbergs. Take less than a gram to blow those up.

12 pounds of vaporized everything in a half mile radius.

Oh. BF20 is the most highly regulated industrial explosive.

You haven't even set foot in a stand.

Guess Molly didn't tell you everything.

I got my finger stuck in the detonator ring and it's on half.

So I want one of those big fancy flying V airplanes.

I want two auto shoots handed to Amelia at the bottom of the ramp.

If the chutes are sabotaged, if you make any sudden moves, if you don't back

those trucks up and let me on that tarmac right fucking now, you won't even

hear it go boom.

I'll just see in hell and laugh in your face.

You got one minute.

Shouldn't take long.

He's got a direct line to the boss.

Last chance to run.

No. You made me feel like I'm the bad guy.

Now I have to prove I'm not.

I didn't give a what I think.

You're not the one I'm to trying to prove it too.

So what's our plan? Let him through.

I'm going to convince them your handbag is a bomb.

Long enough to bail out over Canada.

They'll never let me win.

So I'm going to slip out the back door and wait out the clock.

We just have to keep the audience Entertained until that jet crosses the

border. What if they call your bluff? You make sure they know it's real.

Get scared, freak out, curse, scream.

Call me the worst names possible.

Just remember, everything bad, it's all good for ev.

Act terrified when Makone hands you the shoots.

I won't have to act.

He grabs his gun, he'll know it's time to go off.

So you think you're the guy who stops me from seeing my daughter again? Show

start today.

Get on the plane.

Only if you take your mask off.

Audience will love it.

Keep dreaming.

Do what he says.

Hook up.

Do what he says.

Take it off.

There he goes.

Come on.

She'll start today.

Foreign

Mr. Richards to the Met Air Fly V luxury jetliner.

The ultimate in private travel with state of the art safety features.

This is first class comfort taken sky high.

So sit back and enjoy the most relaxing flight of your life.

Welcome aboard, Mr.

Richards. I'm Captain Holloway.

You'll excuse me if I don't shake your hand.

That's First Officer Dunninger and Navigation Officer Donahue to your left.

Looks like you're missing one.

Hey, Captain, how many lavatories are on this rust bucket? 4.

6. Why don't you check them all for stowaways? Anyone sneaks up on me, gonna

be a real short ride.

So where are we headed tonight? Plot a route over the richest homes from

here to Canada.

Fly as low as you can.

Let me know when we're ten minutes from the border.

As you wish.

Hey, Richard.

Six minutes to showtime.

You should get that last meal before they clear me to blow your head off in

front of a couple billion people.

Oh, yeah.

You know, you should really put some makeup on before the show starts.

The show? Let's go.

Oh, you want to go? We can all go right now.

Just stop.

Do it.

Do it.

Tough guy.

Why are you doing this? Siva.

Twitch. Show in the bomb.

Show it to him before he shoots you and kills us all.

No. Show it, Cuz I don't want to feel like this anymore.

Do you hear me? I'm done.

I'm done.

All right, Richards.

What if I offer you an amnesty deal and an exit visa? You're nothing but a

Halloween costume.

You can't offer me.

Too true, Mr.

Richards. You can't.

But I can.

How about I offer you a deal? You tell your hunters in the cockpit to do

what I tell them.

Otherwise I blow up this jet and everyone on it.

Ben, I admire your commitment to the bit, but we're short on time, so I'll

be blunt.

We know you're bluffing.

The flying V Mark II has scanners built into the doors.

It's been wildly entertaining, but you can give Amelia her lovely handbag

back now.

Evan. Evan, go.

That's game safety.

That weapon, sir.

Evan, are you insane? The show hasn't even started.

Hand over your gun and go to the back of the jet.

Thank you.

You can remain there until I say otherwise.

I need a moment to have a word with Mr.

Richards to discuss a sensitive matter.

Let's keep this between us.

You know, it wasn't too long ago that someone with my job thought it was

more important to force some hypocritical moral message down society's

throat than to simply entertain them.

They forgot about the power of illusion.

The power of the star.

Which is what you are, Richards.

And this is why we want to offer you your own show.

Now picture it.

A former runner, redeemed through righteous vengeance, turns his life around

to become a lethal force for good.

They call him the Hunter.

The board has authorized me to pay you 5 million new dollars per se season.

There's only one condition.

Sit back, watch the intro.

And when Bobby cues, you kill every Hunter on that jet.

Conditions met.

I'll remote pilot you back to the studio jetport where the President of the

United States will induct you as Hunter number six.

Another title ID I'm playing with the data.

Says the revenge plot.

Revenge? Revenge for what? Louie's gonna root for a guy who kills your neck.

National heroes.

I call Dan.

Let me worry about the creative.

No deal.

The truth, then.

Revenge for your wife and child.

Why would I ever believe you? Because if they were still alive, I'd hold

them at gunpoint and force you to do whatever I want and torture them right

in of front front of you.

I didn't want to show you this, but I'm out of time to save your life.

The Hunter you killed was part of a tight crew.

McCon and the men in that cockpit flew to Co Op City to Sheila and Kathy's

secret uptown location.

They badged their way past the family alliance agents and.

I'm sorry, Ben.

Not all accidents are happy.

We want you to win.

The audience is already on your side.

Once I show them footage of McCone and his men killing your family, they

will follow you into hell.

Think of what this does for your narrative.

30 seconds to showtime, Ben.

You'll find a gun by the coffee station in the galley.

But if you don't sign before the theme music ends, I'll order the bastards

that killed your family to kill you too.

What's happening?

What's happening? Tune in and find out.

Everyone. Everyone, please.

No. No.

No. Running fans.

We start today's episode with a heavy heart.

We here at the Running man believe in following the rules.

So it pains me to tell you that one of our most important rules has been

broken by the very men we entrust to enforce them.

Chief McConnell and his hunters.

And that rule is? We protect the runner's family from harm.

No one would play if we didn't.

We thought it only fair to let Richards administer the penalty for this

grave infraction.

As we go live to Richards, we pray he has what it takes.

Hey, Richards.

You're making coffee? Yeah.

How do you take it?

Remote pilot engaged.

And then there was one.

Three hunters down.

But the deadliest among them is still somewhere on this channel.

He took the other parachute.

I couldn't stop him.

Strap that on.

Keep your head down.

The prey has become the predator.

A cone is trapped.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Mr. Is checking all these executive toilets.

Score. The fuse has been lit.

It's just a matter of time.

Okay, here we go.

The moment of truth.

6. Oh, that's gotta be disappointed.

Attention is higher than ever, honey Fans.

It all comes down to this.

You want to know who's stopping you from seeing your kid again? Are you?

Oh, no.

Richard is taking sand block.

Shut the up, Bobby.

This is how they fire me? What do you think they'll do to you, chum? You

think you're the only runner ever got offered a deal? You think surviving

two weeks and change makes you big?

Tried 29 days.

What's more likely, A, I killed your family? B, Killian sold you just the

right lie to get a bloodbath season finale.

Or C, you're too stupid to figure it out.

Take it from someone who took the deal to be a hunter instead of the hunted.

The only time you'll ever see your family again is when they torture them in

front of you.

Fuck with your head enough to make you want to kill it all away.

You're full of shit.

You're all full of shit.

Truth is, I'm doing you a favor.

Emergency doors defined.

Hey, Gian.

You think I need a gun to waste this loser? You outran fate.

You can't hide from destiny.

This is my zone.

Now

do it.

Tough guy.

Shift switch.

That's game.

Can I borrow your scarf?

Let's get you back on the ground.

Should open on its own.

But if it doesn't, just let it rip.

When you get on the ground, just Run like hell.

Don't look back when I tell you.

You're gonna pull that down all the way.

I'm sorry they did this to you.

I did it to myself.

It's a sign.

I'm not

stopping me.

Keep going.

You got this.

Ben Richards, you are the man.

We have command of the jet.

Our best trauma surgeons are already on the tarmac ready to pat you up.

As good as new.

Awake, making his freebie debut with a special message.

The creator of Running man, super producer Dave Killian.

Mr. Richards, we heard at the network believe you embody the raw strength

and salt of the earth moral backbone this country stands for.

And we want.

No, we need to see more.

This summer.

Ben Richards is Hunter six.

Congratulations, Ben.

And welcome to the network.

Family. Already got a family.

Did you kill him or not? Dan?

Give it up for Dan Killier.

Come on, Ben.

Alive. How many times do you get to tell 2 billion people how you really

feel? How does it feel to be a hero, band? Nothing I've done on the show

makes me a hero.

I tried to be a hero once and then black in my ass.

My daughter got sick.

This is the only job I could get.

Seems like the whole point of freebie is to make us hate each other so they

can keep stealing from us while we fight in the mud.

You want the truth? Turn it off.

We are all being fucked by the network.

Find out who really runs it Record report them.

Get their names.

You just met one of them.

Dan Killian.

You remember that face?

Don't watch freely watch who pays for it.

Turn it off.

Great speech.

Too bad I'm the only one who saw.

We've been on an ad break since you said nothing you did on the show made

you a hero.

You think it was worth it? You think your little rant makes you a martyr?

We're going live again in 30.

This time you'll play your part.

Because if not, I'm gonna run this instead.

I told you I was gonna burn this building down and everyone in it.

That was fast.

Work with me, Richards.

Don't throw your life away.

Don't make me fly that jet into the network building.

They'll blow you out of the sky.

Are they dead or alive, Dan? Who? My family.

Who cares? If I told you they were alive, would you even believe me? We are

alive. In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Now. Okay, have it your way.

I told you I was gonna burn this building down and everyone in it.

I will see you in hell and laugh in your face.

Are you insane? There's 5,000 innocent people in this building.

Look at what you've done.

You happy? I told you I was going to fucking to here.

Warning commission the men call everyone the MCG will blow him out of the

sky.

Okay true believers, lets wind that back.

Ben Richards, legend.

The network wants you to think that on day 18 of his run, after taking out

all five hunters, the longest surviving contestants in season one committed

suicide by surface to air missile.

The apostle calls bullshit.

First of all they cut to ads six minutes earlier than usual and ran them for

twice as as long.

They must have needed the time to write this fake ass shit.

I will give you it out and laugh in your face.

And then they swapped the crowd.

Where'd purple Shark guy come from? Season 5, episode 13 to be exact.

That's how dumb the network thinks we are.

Their vile distortions meant none of us knew the truth about what happened

on that jet.

Until a revolutionary riot girl found the jet bets black box on the roof of

her co op.

Her uncle had the audio duped, distributed and put it on blast.

Turn it off and God damn it, did we ever.

The network wasn't about to give us the gospel.

So we learned how to give it to each other.

Bet lit the fumes and the truth exploded like a nuclear blast before the

network even knew it existed.

Don't watch freely watch who pays for it.

But questions remain about that fateful night.

Keep going kid.

Did the hunters really assassinate Ben's family? Did Killian sell him just

the right lie for a bloodbath? Season finale and the big one on everyone's

mind. Did Ben survive the apostles? Research reveals that one of the flying

D Mark 2 State of the art sage safety features was a crew escape pod just

about the size of this so called debris.

Big Ben.

Cheap death.

One last time.

Stop filming me.

The network won't say.

But one thing's for sure.

He's still here.

You eaters

and belly o.

Yeah, what else do we need?

Oh my God, these are adorable.

Oh no, sorry, those aren't mine.

The guy outside bought them for you.

Mrs. Richards.

Groceries too? That's

not my name.

God damn Richards.

You were indeed a tough act to follow.

30 seconds.

Where you think you're going? You don't hear that? I'd say that's some

valuable audience feedback.

Dad. No, no, no, no.

You get back out there and you do your your job.

How about you do my job? Hey.

Been crushing the ratings for 20 years.

I own that audience.

You don't think I can turn this around? You're the one who want to make him

a star, dad.

Mission accomplished.

It's his show now.

You think you can just walk? Sweeties, please take another look at my

contract. Page 42, paragraph 6.

There's a special clause in the the smallest of print that reads you.

10 seconds.

10 seconds down.

Coco, come on, let's go.

You know what? That this is my house.

I set the rules.

Max and fer them out.

Sir, are you sure this is play the thing right now

it

in five, four, three, two, one.

And action.
