Wake up.

Logan, you are here.
l couldn't believe it when they told me.

What are you doing?

LOGAN :
Logan 6.

lt's not every day
they authorize a new Sandman.

l'll tell you, Francis, that's him.

Maybe, maybe not.

What does it matter?
He isn't yours anymore.

All right, you want me to wake him?

[CHATTERlNG]

FRANClS:
Only the crazies hang around Nursery.

There'll be a couple of new
Sandmen tomorrow.

How do you know?

FRANClS: Some of our guys
are on Carrousel tonight.

And Sandmen always renew.
l know.

But you don't know. You just assume.

One for one. What everyone's
been taught. One for one.

Why not? That's how
everything works.

Keeps everything in balance.
One is terminated, one is born.

Simple, logical, perfect.

-You have a better system?
LOGAN : Of course not.

At least l wonder about it sometimes.
Not like you with your automatic routine.

You sound like a sleep
teacher with a stuck tape.

Leave it alone, it's perfect.

You know, Logan, you wonder a lot.

Too much for a Sandman .

LOGAN :
Why were you so angry just then?

What did he do to you?

FRANClS: That red's going to run.
l can always tell .

Did you ever see Francis 8?

l never even visited nursery
before tonight.

You know, when you question,
it slows you down.

l don't know.
What makes you so curious?

You know who his seed-mother was?

Of course not! l'm curious, not sick.

Good.

Look at the crowd.
Good Carrousel tonight.

Thanks a lot.

A few over there

[CHEERl NG AN D WH lSTLl NG]

Runner terminated, 0.31 .

Ready for cleanup.

Request identity check.

Affirmative.

He was good, wasn't he?

Showed he had some life in him
in the end.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

That was a great shot you made.

You kept missing him.
l had to do something.

[CHUCKLl NG]

FRANClS: lt's crazy.
He could have renewed on Carrousel .

Now he's finished forever.

Why do they run?

[BUBBLlNG]

[MON lTOR TUN lNG]

Hello.

Welcome.

Please, no.

Please?

No?

[SCOFFS]

Come on .

No.

What's wrong, hm?

Oh, you prefer women?

No.

Well?

Nothing, l felt sad .

l put myself on the circuit.

lt was a mistake.

Sad?

What do you feel sad about?

A friend of mine went on Carrousel.

Now he's gone.

Yes, well,
l'm sure he was renewed .

He was killed . Like the others.

Killed? Why do you use that word?

lsn't that what you do? Kill?

l've never killed anyone in my life.

Sandmen terminate runners.

What's your name?

Jessica.

Well, sad or not. . .

. . .you're beautiful.

-Let's have sex.
-No.

Then why are you
wasting my time, hm?

Why'd you put yourself
on the circuit?

l thought l had to do something.

l told you it was a mistake. . .

. . .and l've changed my mind.

Because l'm a Sandman?

Am l your first?

Yes.

And l'm curious.

About what?

How a Sandman lives.

lt's a little different from
most people. . .

. . .but l assure you we have the same
feelings as everybody else.

lf you're feeling curious, it's--

-Not about that.
-What, then?

Why is it wrong to run?

You shouldn't think such things. . .

. . .let alone talk about them.

Look, you know what to do.

You try like hell for renewal.

Otherwise, when this
turns to black, that's it.

But if for some strange reason
you want to be 31 . . .

. . .then you have the same chance
as everyone.

Like your friend. Carrousel.

But. . .

. . .if you're one of the misfits. . .

. . .that's where l come in.

-l didn't say that l would run.
-Mm?

l just. . . .

How old are you?

l'm a 6.

l go red next year.

[CHUCKLl NG]

You're years away.

What quad do you live in?

K.

You're quite sure you don't want to. . .?

lt's nice to know you can nod .

lt's nice to know you can do that too.

[WOMEN LAUGH l NG]

Hey, Logan. l've been looking all over
like Cain for you.

[ALL LAUGH l NG]

We're having a party, right?

LOGAN :
Hey, Francis. They're great.

Let's fade out.

[Gl RLS GlGGLl NG]

FRANClS:
Ah, Logan. Give me my screamer back.

LOGAN :
They're mine now.

What happened?

-l lost a runner in Cathedral.
-How come?

Ran into some cubs.

One of them cut me
all the way down .

-Cubs.
-l'm on my way to New You for repairs.

Get yourself a new face while you're
at it. They know you now.

Ha, ha.

LOGAN : l might look in on
the New You myself. Number 483.

FRANClS: You? Why?
LOGAN : lt's that last runner.

l think he got a face change
on Last Day.

lf so, someone in 483
was trying to help him.

Check it out.

Hey, Logan,
got a runner in power center.

What's with you, Francis?

Last night.

LOGAN :
You had a kicker.

She must have got him in the head.

WOMAN [ON SPEAKERS]:

Clear Francis 7.

LOGAN :
Well, there goes another one.

MAN : Why do they run
instead of going on Carrousel?

Good one.

Runner terminated, power center.

MAN :

[MACH l N E WH l RRl NG]

WOMAN [OVER SPEAKERS]:
Logan 5, approach and identify.

Sit facing the screen, Logan 5.

Identify.

Logan 5.

Do you identify this object?

Negative.

Question : What is it?

That is the name of the object: ankh.

Do you identify this word: sanctuary?

Negative.

Sanctuary is a pre-catastrophe
code word. . .

. . .used for a place of immunity.

l don't understand.

The object ankh. . .

. . .has been identified with
the code word "Sanctuary."

The object and the word both relate. . .

. . .to runners who have
not been accounted for.

-Question--
-Hold.

Unaccounted runners: 1 056.

You may state your question.

1 056 unaccounted for?

The number is correct.

That's impossible.

Question :
Maybe they weren't all runners.

Maybe most of them reached
life renewal on Carrousel .

Question :

Nobody reached renewal?

-But everybody believes that some--
-The question has been answered.

You mean,
nobody's ever been renewed?

The question has been answered.

You are authorized
to penetrate city seals. . .

. . .and search outside the dome.

The seals?

Question : What seals?

Outside?

There's nothing outside.

You will find Sanctuary and destroy.

Question :

What if l need help
from another Sandman?

Negative. You will begin
assignment by becoming. ..

. . .a runner seeking Sanctuary.

Question :

l'm only red six now.

How can l pretend that l'm
approaching Last Day?

Identify.

[MACH l N ERY BUZZl NG]

[WH lSPERS]

My life clock.

Question : My life clock?

Retrogram complete.

Procedure 033-03.

But am l still red 6?

l had four more years.

l will get them back, won't l?

You will take the object ankh
with you for identification.

Question :

Do l get my four years back?

What the hell took you so long?

lt was the debriefing.

lt was more complicated than usual .

Come on, get in the water.

Francis, did you . . .?

Did you ever see anybody renew?

[CHUCKLl NG]

You've been skulling out too much.
First Nursery, and now silly questions.

No, but did you?

-Did l what?
-See anybody renewed?

Of course.

Anybody we know?

Look, get into the water.

You need it more than l do.

Francis, l have to talk to you .

l'll see you .

Here l am.

Now tell me why.

l couldn't get you out of my mind.

l'm the most beautiful woman
you ever saw, l suppose.

Maybe.

-And you must have me?
-Yes. Something like that.

-Just like that?
-Yes, why not?

But l still have the choice?

-Of course.
-Then the answer's still no.

No, l don't believe you .

-That's why you had me brought here?
-Would you have come on your own?

-No.
-Well, there it is. l was right.

You can have any woman in the city.

What do you really want?

-Why show me?
-Because l'm going to run.

-Why tell me?
-You know something.

About running? Dying, what?

Both. But running
is what l'm interested in.

l know what everyone knows.

Try like hell for renewal. You have the
same chance as anyone else. Carrousel.

Look, don't you understand?
lt's different now because it's me!

My life.

Help me.

How can l?

Where'd you get that?

l got it from a runner.

And then you killed him.

lt was my job.

But now. . .

. . .it's different. Believe me.

l don't.

Speak to your friends for me, Jessica.

-What friends?
-Look, l don't have much time!

l never heard of
a Sandman running, ever.

And l 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.

l'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.
l 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.

[KNOCKl NG ON DOOR]

Did you speak to them?

Them?

Then why are you here?

l'm here to help you.

Come with me to Arcade.

Wait, Logan.

-We have to talk.
-Yes, we have to.

[PAGER BEEPlNG]

-What is it?
-A runner. ln Cathedral.

A woman. Come on.

You better go home.

l'd rather be with you .

Logan's got a mean one tonight.

-Cathedral. l 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.

l wish l'd known my mother.

[CHUCKLl NG]

Where do you get these crazy ideas?

When did you begin to question
Last Day?

l didn't say l questioned it.

Well, do you?

WOMAN [OVER MON lTOR]:
Entering a reservation. . .

. . .for violent delinquents.
Authorized persons only.

l've never been
in this quadrant before.

Request door open, Cathedral Plaza.

WOMAN [OVER RADlO]:
Logan 5 authorized to enter risk area.

They shut it to keep in the cubs.

No. No, let me go first.

Sometimes they're
waiting just inside there.

Quick, before it closes.

[RUSTLlNG]

Don't be afraid.

What's your name?

Mary 2.

-Where do you live, Mary?
MARY: Here.

Why aren't you in Nursery?

l'm very smart.

JESSlCA:
When are you green?

When do you go up?

l never go upstairs.

You're a nice old lady.

[BRACELET CLlCKS]

No, don't. Might be a decoy.

Get behind them.

BOY 2:
Don't let them get away.

BOY 1 :
Billy, come on!

BOY 2:
Billy, we've got one!

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

And look who decided to run.

l cut up a Sandman yesterday.

They said l'd never get him,
but l cut him up good .

l feel sorry for you, boy.

For me?

You better feel sorry for yourself.

No, no. l . . . .

l feel sorry for you, Billy.

How old are you?

1 4? 1 5?

Your time is running out here.
How long have you got left here?

A year, six months? What happens
when you're 1 6 and you go to green?

Nothing will happen. Nothing!
l make the rules here.

No cubs over 1 5, 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!

[GRUNTl NG AND PANTl NG]

All right, children, playtime's over.

How many of you want this

Come on,
we can rush him!

Come on, we can take him again!

[BOYS SPEAKl NG lNDlSTl NCTLY]

Come on ! Cut me!

[DEVlCE BEEPl NG]

LOGAN :
Runner?

There's been a terrible error.

My life clock must have
broken in some way.

l'm nowhere near 30.

l'm 22.

l should be green.
Did you hear me? Green!

-Now, don't be afraid!
-Let me go! Let me go!

l am not going to hurt you.

Now, look.

There. There. See?

LOGAN :
We want to help you.

Sanctuary?

This means nothing to you?

No.

Listen. . .

. . .if they find you , throw this
hard enough to break it.

But remember, don't breathe
until you get away.

lt's blind gas.

Runner?

No.

[SCREAM l NG]

Runner terminated at 0. 1 6.

Ready for clean up,
Cathedral quadrant 39.

Logan .

l must tell you now. When we were in
Arcade, l was taking you to be killed .

l'm sorry, l 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.

l can't tell you. And if l 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.

LOGAN : They're opening it.
Come on, we got to go.

Where will you go now?

Back to Arcade.

l'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.

l think there's someone
there can help me.

Maybe there is.

MAN [OVER MON lTOR]: The cheeks could
be narrowed, the mouth changed. . . .

HOLLY: Please let me know as soon
as you've made your selection.

l'll let you know as soon
as she's decided.

Hello, Sandman .

We don't get many Sandmen.

l think we've had only one
since l've been here.

A Sandman can get as sick
of his face as anyone else.

HOLLY: Doc, there's a Sandman here.
Can you see him?

[BUZZER RlNGS]

HOLLY:
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.

l thought you'd be older.

l mean, l was expecting a red .

l am.

Your own work?

Yes, l did it myself.

Right on there.

l'll show you.

This is the Aesculaptor Mark 3.

The latest.
lt's completely self-contained .

lt 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.

l didn't bring him.

What's the difference?

He's blinking .

He wants to run.

Run? He's a Sandman .

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

Maybe. l just wish
he'd gone somewhere else.

All right, he gets a face.

l like dark hair.

Tell him to give you dark hair.

All set?

Did you have anything special in mind?

-l don't care, just--
-Dark hair.

Oh, yes.

Holly would like dark hair.

Hmm. We'll start by narrowing
the cheekbones.

DOC: With this,
there's no waiting for scar burnishing.

lt's all in one.

Watch now.

Here's the improvement.

lnstant healing before you feel a thing.

[PHONE RlNGl NG]

Hello, yes?

Yes, they are.

Done.

Pay attention, Sandman.

l'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.

HOLLY
Doc, the machine is spinning!

DOC:
Right! lt's a trap. They know.

l'm a runner!

[SCREAM l NG]

-What's going on?
-Get out of my way! Get off me!

What are you talking about?
l saw you let a runner go.

-What?
-ln Cathedral. l was there!

[GRUNTl NG]

[PANTl NG]

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?

[l NAUDlBLE DlALOGUE]

-Why do you run from your friend?
-Because he is my friend.

l don't want to be killed by him,
or anyone else.

He's good, isn't he?

LOGAN : 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 l'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.

Yes, Logan.

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, 1 7th Quadrant K.

-Whose signal?
-Logan 5.

-Who's available?
-7, 9 and Arcade Patrol .

MAN 1 [OVER PA]:

Clasp your fingers together.

Now turn your hands over. Palms up.

In a moment, a light will shine

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.

Look, l'm a runner.

She brought me here because
l begged her to help me.

[GRUNTS]

WOMAN : He's lying.
MAN 2: No Sandman ever ran.

MAN 3:
You don't run .

You kill runners.
You have always killed runners.

Yes, l have.

But now it's my turn .

And l find l want to live.

JESSlCA:
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!

[GRUNTl NG]

Holly. Holly New You 483.

He's dead. Doc is dead.
And the Sandman came.

lt's him! He killed Doc.

Holly. Wait!

He's running.

-Tell them the rest!
-He's the one.

And you too. l remember.

He was in a hurry.
A face job only.

And l said, dark hair.

And then he killed Doc. . .

. . .and you grabbed me and the machine
blew up and l ran.

l ran.

Holly.

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?

Oh, yes.

Yes. He was after you.

l remember.

You were running.

MAN :

Runner. . .

The way is always down.

Then this isn't Sanctuary?

MAN : No,
you must follow the tunnel to the end.

Where do l go from there?

MAN : 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.

No, l'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.

l don't care.

l want to go to Sanctuary.
Take me with you?

Jessica, why?

You're still a green.
You're not running.

lt doesn't matter what l am.

We all go crazy once in a while.

Nobody knows except me. l won't tell .
l could have turned you in . l 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!

Logan !

What do we do now?

[BELL Rl NGS]

MAN [OVER PA]:

When the bell sounds again,
use your key.

Good luck, runner.
May you find Sanctuary.

[BELL Rl NGS]

l still have the key l took
from the runner. There.

Logan !

We must be somewhere

l'd always heard the city received its
power from the sea. . .

. . .but this looks forgotten.

Unused .

MAN [OVER PA]:
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.

Fresh as harvest day.

Overwhelming, am l not?

Are you too startled?

Am l too removed from your ken?

What. . .?

Who are you?

l'm more than machine. . .

. . .or man.

More than a fusion of the two.

Don't you agree?

Wait for the winds.

Then, my birds. . .

. . .and the deep grottoes
whisper my name.

Box!

This place is a link
to Sanctuary, isn't it?

Link? Hmm.

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?

Hiding?

Yes.

Hiding.

You know about Sanctuary.

l know you do.

-Sanctuary?
-You have to help us.

You don't have a choice!
lt's not your decision!

-So tell us!
-Very well.

Follow me.

This way.

-How'd they get there?
BOX: Regular storage procedure.

What is it?

l don't know.

Whatever it is, it's warm.

We must be outside.

[CLATTERl NG]

l didn't know any place
could be like this.

Everything hurts.

[GRUNTl NG]

l hate outside!

-l hate it! l hate it!
-Jessica!

lt'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.

lt's dark and cold.

And l'm tired.

Come on . We must get out of here.

Sorry.

l can't go any further.

Let's rest in here.

Do you think everything
will turn to ice?

l doubt it.

Don't ever let go.

l won't.

lt 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.

No, you're right.

lt must be near now.

We'll find it.

JESSlCA: Logan. Logan, look!
LOGAN : Water!

[JESSlCA LAUGH l NG]

Logan, look.

Look at your palm.

The crystal. lt's clear.

What does it mean?

The life clocks have no power outside.

We're free!

[LAUGH lNG]

You can have
any woman in the city.

What do you really want?

You know.

[CHUCKLl NG]

The choice is still mine?

Of course.

This time. . .

. . .the answer's yes.

There.

lt must be Sanctuary!

Outside?

Exposed?

But it must be.

Whatever it is, there are
probably people there.

And food and shelter.

Come on .

What do you suppose happened
to the people?

l don't know. They must have left here.

A long time ago.

l wonder what they were like.

That must be one of them.

Then they looked almost like us.

Except. . .

. . . l've never seen a face
like that before.

That must be. . .

. . .the look of being old.

They've all got names
and numbers on them.

l wonder what they are?

"Beloved husband." "Beloved wife."

l wonder what it means.

[TWlG SNAPS]

[CAT MEOWlNG]

[TWlG SNAPS]

[RUSTLlNG]

[CAT MEOWlNG]

Who are you?

[CHUCKLES]

Who are you?

l'm Logan 5.

This is Jessica 6.

l never much cared for my name,
even when l could remember it.

We're from the city.

Yes.

Yes, we came through the ice.

We got past Box.

Box?

This is Sanctuary, isn't it?

[MUMBLES]

Sanctuary?

May l see your hand?

[CHUCKLl NG]

Look at his face.
His hair.

-ls that what it is to grow old?
-l guess so, yes.

But how old are you?

l don't know. l'm as old . . .

. . .as l am, l suppose.

Your hair is white.

Yes, well, it wasn't always
that color, you know.

l got my color someplace here.

lt wasn't your color.
lt wasn't much like hers, either.

Those cracks in your face. . .

-. . .do they hurt?
-No.

Can l touch them?

Oh, my, heh.

Try.

Are you alone here?

Hardly.

l got all these cats.

ls that what they're called? Cats?

And they've each got
their own name.

Cats, of course, what else
would they be called?

Cats!

You know they've each got
three names?

Yes.

The naming of cats
is a difficult matter.

lt's not just one of your
holiday games.

You may think at first
l'm mad as a hatter. . .

. . .when l tell you that each cat's got
three different names.

See, they got their ordinary name. . .

. . .and then they got their fancy name.

And that makes two names, doesn't it?

Now, it's got a third name.

Can either of you two guess
what that third name is?

Come on !

Above and beyond

There's one name that's left over

And this is the name
You never will guess

The name no human research
Can discover

But the cat itself knows

And never will confess.

Will you, Henry?

How long have you been living here?

A little longer than l can remember.

What kind of a place is this?

Well, it's just a place, you know.
Just a place.

How'd you get here?

OLD MAN:
l've always been here. Hello, Thomas.

Are there other people?

Oh, gracious, no.

Has anyone else ever passed
through here?

There may be a few out there.
l don't know.

What makes you think that?

My parents told me.

My mother. . .

[MUMBLlNG]

. . .and my father.

You knew your mother and father?

Sure, they raised me.

How were you grown?

-lnside your mother?
-Right in there.

Are you sure?

That's what she told me.

l have to believe her. l don't know.

-Where are they?
-What was that?

-Where are they now?
-Where?

They're dead .

They are dead . Yeah.

Buried.

Buried?

They're buried.

Gus was the cat at the theater door

His name, and I should have
Told you before, is really Asparagus

But that's such a fuss to pronounce

We call him just Gus.

[CHUCKLl NG]

Why did you want to see
my hand before?

You'd better show me yours.

Yes, you had .

Oh, that-- Oh.

That's lovely. That's beautiful.

Can l have one of these?

Uh, well, no.

l'm sorry. lt's not possible.

That's just not fair.

Hello.

l'll give you one of my best cats,
my favorite.

l'll give you a Jellicle cat. l will .

l'm sorry, l really don't have
anything to give you .

JESSlCA:
That's the truth .

-You hear that?
-Here, you can have this.

What is that treasure?

l don't know.

You don't know. You're full
of secrets as Macavity.

Macavity, Macavity
There's no one like Macavity

There never was a cat of such
deceitfulness and suavity.

What lies beyond this place?
Do you know?

Welleverity.

l don't know, nothing. Nothing there.

Did your father or mother ever
mention another place?

My mother? No, she never
mentioned any other.

Nothing at all.

May we stay here?

We'd like to rest awhile.

Of course. This belongs to the people.

-What belongs to the people?
-Certainly does. All of it.

What people?

All of them. lt's marked
on the wall someplace.

All the people, all the time,
shall not. . . .

[MUTTERl NG]

l'll be right back.

That sweet madman.

How could he come to exist?

He had a mother and a father.

And they spent their lives together.

One in a million, l suppose.

JESSlCA:
Who knows?

We are going on, aren't we?

There's nothing to go on to.

There's Sanctuary. There is.

-You want there to be one, but--
-There has to be!

l know it exists.

-lt has to.
-No, it does not. Not really.

Just so many people want it to exist,
so many people who don't want to die. . .

. . .they want it so much that a place
called Sanctuary becomes real.

But it doesn't exist. lt never existed.

-Just the hope.
-You're wrong!

-lt has to be! lt has to be!
-Oh, Jessica.

LOGAN : Jessica.
-Ahem.

Oh, my. Don't cry.

[CHUCKLl NG]

Look, l got some bigger ones of these
over there. l don't know who they all are.

l think they must be family.

That'll cheer you up.

That's my color. That's what it is.

Leave her alone.

[OLD MAN MUMBLl NG]

Surprised you, Doris, didn't he?

Now, l don't know who these all are.

l'm quite used to them.
They all look the same to me now.

When l first found them,
they were a little different.

Doris.

You know, feel free to look at them.

But they're all old men.

OLD MAN:
Father said that one of these people. . .

. . .never told a lie.
l don't know which one it is.

You thought l wouldn't find you,
didn't you?

You thought l'd quit, huh?

What did you do to him?

You know what he was?
He was a Sandman.

He was happy.

You ruined him. You killed him.

Wait.

l've seen this face before.

Yes, isn't he the--?
Hey, Jessica?

Jessica?

FRANClS:
Logan !

Logan !

Why, Logan? Why?

ls this good? ls this what you want?

Francis.

We had good times.

l let you go.

You wouldn't terminate a runner
and l covered for you!

Why did you let her?

And now, l have to finish you.

You are terminated, runner.

Francis, look at your palm.

Go on. Look at it.

Go on, look at it!

[GUN THU DS]

Believe me, it's true.

This isn't the truth.

This is a lie!

[GRUNTl NG]

Francis, stop! Listen!

[GROAN l NG]

That was the right shot.

Watch out, now.

He's tricky.

He'll fool you.

Logan . . .

. . .you renewed.

OLD MAN:
l don't want to say any more. . .

. . .but l hope that is understood,
young woman .

Of course.

Now, don't forget. . .

. . .you promised.

We'll remember.
But that's a long time off.

l wish l knew, but. . . .

Long time off.

What are we promising him?

He asked if we would bury him
when his time comes.

We can't.

We're going back.

Back?

To what?

l have to tell them the truth .

You won't be able
to tell anybody anything.

-You'll be killed .
-Not when they've learned of this.

They won't listen.
Things don't change.

We can stay here together.

Have a life as long as his together.

Jessica, things do change. Look.

You're lying.
You don't want to change anything.

You want to go back to kill!

-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.

lf l don't go back
and try to stop that. . .

. . .destroy them. . .

. . . l can't live here.

l couldn't live anywhere.

Don't you understand that?

All l want. . .

. . .is to be alive and with you.

That's all.

Do you think l want anything
different now?

Must we leave soon?

As soon as it gets light.

LOGAN : 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.

JESSlCA:
Come with us.

Yes. Come with us.

Yes, you must.

We need you now.

lf 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.

[MUMBLlNG]

How many people?

-ls that more than my cats?
-More. Much, much more.

More than. . .? Oh, my.
And all of them alive.

ls it a long journey?

-lt's a journey.
-Yeah.

We lived in most of these houses.

But they became too small for us. . .

. . .and ran out of mice, l guess.
l don't know.

[OLD MAN CH UCKLl NG]

l 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?
l don't even remember what. . . .

Although, of course,
the young people, yeah. . . .

OLD MAN: They say this thing
used to be called a road.

Had to give bits of metal to use it.

OLD MAN:
How far away is it?

lt's much further than it looks.
lt's big.

JESSlCA:
lt'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.

[OLD MAN & LOGAN LAUGH l NG]

You know, l've been thinking.

Those words we saw. . .

- . . ."beloved husband," "beloved wife."
-Yeah?

-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?

-l can't put it any different.
-But you mean. . . .

l mean, they lived together
all their years?

Yeah . Oh, well--

Before l come along, l 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.

l think l'd like that, Logan.
Don't you?

Mm. Mm-hm.

Why not?

Beloved husband .

[MUMBLlNG]

-Beloved wife.
-Beloved son.

[ALL LAUGH l NG]

Here we go.

That's right.

OLD MAN: 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.

lt 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, l think so.

l don't know where, though.

Just took it for granted,
like everything else.

l think it's our only chance.

Here, let me help you!

OLD MAN:
No, l can look after myself.

lf ever a time comes. . .

. . .when l can't look after myself,
l said to my cats:

"Why, that's the moment
that you--"

Where are you?

l'll have to tell him.

We're going to try and
get in through here.

l'm sorry,
l don't think you can make it.

Oh, my. l was so looking forward
to seeing all those people.

LOGAN :
l want you to meet them too.

Stay here as long as you can .

-We'll bring them to you.
-All the people?

LOGAN :
Uh-huh.

You know. . .

. . .they've never seen a cat.

People have never seen a cat?

Oh, my.

[AU Dl ENCE APPLAUDl NG]

No!

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 !

l've seen it! She's seen it!

Look!

Look, it's clear!
