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: 1056.

You may state your question.

1056 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 was 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 I need help

from another Sandman?

Negative. You will begin

assignment by becoming...

...a runner seeking Sanctuary.

Question:

I'm only red six now.

How can I pretend that I'm

approaching Last Day?

Identify.

My life clock.

Question:
My life clock?

Retrogram complete.

Procedure 033-03.

But am I still red 6?

I had four more years.

I will get them back, won't I?

You will take the object ankh

with you for identification.

Question:

Do I get my four years back?

What the hell took you so long?

It was...

...the debriefing.

It was more complicated than usual.

Come on, get in the water.

Did you ever see anybody renew?

You've been skulling out too much.

First nursery, and now silly questions.

But did you?

Did I what?

See anybody renewed?

Of course.

Anybody we know?

Look...

...get into the water.

You need it more than I do.

Francis, I have to talk to you.

I'll see you.

Here I am.

Now tell me why.

I couldn't get you out of my mind.

I'm the most beautiful woman

you ever saw, I suppose.

Maybe.

- And you must have me?

- Yes. Something like that.

- Just like that?

- Yes, why not?

But I still have the choice?

Of course.

Then the answer's still no.

No, I don't believe you.

- That's why you had me brought here?

- Would you have come on your own?

Well, there it is. I was right.

You can have any woman in the city.

What do you really want?

Why show me?

Because I'm going to run.

Why tell me?

You know something.

About running? Dying, what?

Both. But running

is what I'm interested in.

I know what everyone knows.

Try like hell for renewal. You have the

same chance as anyone else. Carrousel.

Look, don't you understand?

It's different now because it's me!

My life.

Help me.

How can I?

Where'd you get that?

I got it from a runner.

And then you killed him.

It was my job.

But now...

...it's different.

Believe me.
