Logan's Run

- Why are you doing this? - My husband's a hunter.

He's stalked and killed every kind of animal.

It became too easy for him.

Now, Sandman.

I've heard you were the most dangerous man alive.

You're going to prove it to me.

You'll be my ultimate challenge.

What if we won't play your game?

The prize is your life.

We were captured by a man named Borden.

And, Rem, he hunts human beings.

Right now he's-he's tracking Logan and Francis

and when he finds them, he's gonna kill them.

Terrible housekeepers.

- What are these, Rem? - Hmm?

They're insects I know, but..

Oh, grasshoppers.

Common name for insects of the order Orthoptera.

Harmless creatures with an enormous ability to survive.

You know, if all other life had been wiped out in the holocaust

these insects would still be here.

If you're trying to make us feel insignificant, Rem..

it worked.

Come on in, Rem. It's fun.

Oh, no, thanks.

Water and I are not good friends.

Why not? You don't breathe.

You could probably walk across the bottom of that lake

and never notice.

Yes, and if I happen to tear the outer layer of my skin

the water will corrode my circuits.

It'd take weeks to scrape myself clean.

Runner!

You were too easy.

Outside's worn down your edge, Logan.

Why don't you just kill me and be done with it?

'You and the girl are coming back with us.'

Those are my orders.

I should've known the Mountain City couldn't hold you.

Sooner or later, you'd escape.

Benjamin, I'll go ahead with these two.

You follow in the ground car after you've disposed

of that thing.

I resent being referred to as an object.

You won't be one much longer.

Let him go. You don't have to worry.

He's programmed not to harm human beings.

Benjamin!

I'm sorry, Rem.

I understand.

You're powerless to help.

I suppose you heard

I'm programmed not to harm human beings.

I heard.

And I assume that's a lethal..

setting for humans.

So?

I was pretty well put together, you know.

If I change the mode to blast, this will take out a steel door.

Ah, yes.

Of course most steel doors don't have

a nuclear generator behind them.

- What? - Oh, didn't you know?

I'm powered by nuclear energy.

If you're too close when you fire

the explosion will kill you.

'In fact, if the weapon has any range at all'

I suggest you, you-you get behind some shelter.

Shield yourself from the radiation.

Uh, perhaps the tree.

- You're being very helpful. - I know.

Is that because you're programmed not to harm humans?

Um... not exactly, no.

Then why?

Survival.

You're not hurt I hope.

Well, we'll have to do something about

getting you out of there, won't we?

Move away from the vehicle. Go on.

Farther, over there.

I don't know if you're worth taking back.

All this time outside

you're no better than a D-level trainee.

What now?

We wait.

Get some blankets out here.

Come on, help her.

Do whatever he says.

We may get another chance.

All fixed?

- It'll run. - Good.

We've lost half a day.

Shall we go?

Your friend Francis, will be getting worried about you.

Are you really programmed not to harm anyone?

Oh, indeed.

Then, if I jumped you

that gun wouldn't do you much good.

Oh, well, you see

I'm programmed, the weapon isn't.

It could go off in the struggle.

But if it does, I promise to make sure

it's over quickly and painlessly.

Drive on.

That sounded human.

It's a wild animal of some kind.

Do you mind if she sleeps in the vehicle?

Welcome to the great outside.

When you ran, you knew it had to come to this.

We were friends for a long time.

Until you started thinking you could change

the order of things.

Francis, you were willing to believe a lie, I wasn't.

'People in the City of Domes have been running off'

to Carousel at 30 believing they'll be reborn.

That is a lie, Francis.

They're being put to death.

Whatever happens there is best for the city.

But not for the people.

Oh, you don't understand.

What happens when we get back?

Well, you're valuable.

A Sandman turned runner..

that's never happened before.

'You're gonna stand up and tell everyone in the city'

'what outside is like.'

That there is no Sanctuary.

What makes you think I will?

Oh, you will.

You'll be reprogrammed.

After which, believe me

you'll say whatever they tell you to say.

- What about Jessica? - Same thing.

Anybody thinking about running might not believe you.

'They might still think you're a Sandman, a decoy.'

They'll believe her.

We'll be lying, Francis.

There is life outside. You know that now.

But there's no Sanctuary.

You haven't found it yet because it isn't here to find.

You haven't found any runners either because they're dead.

Outside killed them.

We're going back after Benjamin.

Something's gone wrong.

Jessica?

She's gone.

The rope's been cut.

Footprints.

One set, a man's.

Hold it.

Get back to the tree.

We've got to get her back.

I'll find her.

Look, Francis, the two of us together have a better chance.

I won't try to escape.

You have my word.

Just until we find her.

- Thanks. - I'll keep your weapon.

And remember, Logan..

I know all your moves.

Francis!

That was meant for us.

Whoever we're following knows we're here.

Probably watching us right now.

Francis..

I'll need my weapon.

When we get Jessica back..

you'll get the gun back.

Out, Benjamin.

Clothing and water..

all still here.

We're in luck, Benjamin.

Back.

Heat intensity in the burned wood remnants, 0.015.

But these blankets have just been casually tossed aside.

Francis and the others will probably

be coming back soon.
