Logan's Run (1977–1978): Season 1, Episode 6 - Half Life - full transcript
Logan, Jessica and Rem are attacked by two bands of duplicate humans with vastly different temperaments. One group is kind and gentle, while the other is violent and vicious. Jessica is captured and split into two different people with completely opposite temperaments.

[instrumental music]
A slight malfunction in the upper left extremity.
[laughs]
Oh, the module was off by two micro-seconds.
That's better.
What is it, Rem? Can you tell?
It appears to be a concentration of refined metals.
Perhaps a city.
Maybe we can pick it up on remote.
Someone's jamming our signal.
Why would they want to do that?
My dear Jessica, I can always tell
what humans are doing, rarely why.
Look, out there.
Don't tell me they jammed our controls.
Highly improbable.
But I'd say our visitors
have definitely unfriendly intentions.
What's that?
M-42 rocket launcher, designed three centuries ago..
...when man was still absorbed
with how most efficiently to blow himself up.
What are we gonna do?
If he scores a hit, repair ourselves.
Rem, we don't carry any spare parts.
[dramatic music]
Welcome.
They're only stunned.
They'll regain consciousness in a little while.
- Are you alright? - Yes, thanks.
Those traps were meant for us.
Very primitive, as you can see.
Someone managed to jam our controls.
Oh, I'm afraid we did that.
- Why? - Precautions.
Against us?
One of our guards back at the tower picked up your approach
and thought it was another attack by the Castouts.
"Castouts?"
- You mean them? - Of course.
And who are you?
I'm positive 14. We're all positives.
Couldn't you tell?
Weren't you processed where you come from?
Oh, processed! Oh, of course.
Good. Come.
Well, what about our vehicle?
You'll have no further use for it while you're with us.
Or for your weapon.
[dramatic music]
- What did he mean "processed"? - I have no idea.
I thought it prudent to say we had been.
It seemed so important to him.
[music continues]
[buzzing]
Our force field. It keeps out the unprocessed.
It's a nice warm welcome for unexpected visitors.
[instrumental music]
You will be comfortable here.
You'll dine with the Patron at sundown.
Not many visitors come this way.
He's looking forward to the pleasure.
If there is anything you need, I will have it brought to you.
- What is your name? - Rama I.
What kind of a city is this?
Like any other.
A city where all have been perfected.
How?
Were you never processed?
Oh, of course. But the, uh
people outside, the Castouts....
What have they done?
I must go.
Be careful the Patron does not find out.
Find out what?
That you are not what you pretend to be.
Please.
The Patron.
Welcome.
You..
You look puzzled.
Earlier today, someone tried to kill us.
Someone who looked exactly like you.
Indeed.
And-And how do you account for such a strange coincidence?
Are you brothers?
No, not brothers.
Oh. Please.
Please join us.
Is something wrong, my dear?
Excuse me.
Do enjoy your meal. Please.
What is going on?
Rama II?
- Positive 14. - Yes, Patron?
The visitors lied. They've never been processed.
Take care of it.
Yes, Patron.
I couldn't stand it anymore.
I thought I was going mad.
- Has it been that bad for you? - Yes!
I can't go on.
You must continue as you are.
I can't.
Mother, I can't!
It's alright, it's alright.
You're not hurting me.
Forgive me, mother.
- I have no right to be here. - Shh. Hush, child.
I should go where I belong with the Castouts.
How long do you think you would last among the Castouts?
I don't care.
Mother, I love the Patron.
I love him but...but I'm afraid
that some night I might lose control and kill him.
You won't. The evil can be controlled.
You've shown that it can.
You must go on.
Is there anything else you require?
No, but what about Jessica?
In her own quarters. Directly across the corridor.
Is that satisfactory?
- Yes. - Goodnight.
When they say "goodnight," they appear to mean good night.
Rem, what is processing, do you suppose?
You heard what the woman, Rama I, said.
This is a city in which everyone has been perfected.
Processing must be the quest for a society
in which everyone is perfect.
I'd say they've got quite a way to go.
- Isn't it beautiful? - Yes, it is.
Look more closely.
I'll take her now.

[Modok chuckles]
You've met your match, Brawn.
[chuckles]
Jessica.
We were worried about you. Are you alright?
Of course.
Look, we have to get out of here.
Oh, but why?
It's beautiful here.
And the people are so good. Aren't you happy?
And you, Rem?
Fortunately, happiness is not a condition
I have to worry about.
Jessica, last night, when they took you back
to your room, what happened?
I don't remember. I must have fallen into a deep sleep.
- And suddenly, it was morning. - Could you have been drugged?
(Jessica) 'Drugged?'
But these people wouldn't harm me.
I've never been
so a-at peace..
...so content.
Oh, I love it here. I'm sure I'll always love it here.
- So you want to stay? - Of course.
Aren't you forgetting why we left the Domed City?
Why Francis and the other Sandmen came after us?
To find Sanctuary.
And not just for ourselves.
But what about all the people we left back there?
Are you willing to just let them
keep on dying in-in Carousel?
Logan, I've been thinking about that.
And I believe that the people of the Domed City
loved Carousel.
They were certain they were going to be renewed.
They were happy.
I know.
You're confused now, but you'll soon feel the way I do.
And perhaps even you too, Rem.
I'm quite content as I am, thank you.
So y-you're gonna just give up Sanctuary?
Sanctuary lies within each of us.
All we need is the key.
And you believe that you've found it?
I know I have.
Here?
- W-Why not see for yourself? - See what?
Our processing chamber.
Just see?
Or undergo the process?
Is that what happened to Jessica?
In our society, we process the children
on their sixth birthday.
If the process is delayed, as in Jessica's case..
...we find that the new Positives
sometimes tend to overreact.
But very soon, they become like us.
They're serene. And above all, good.
We want to leave this place. With her. Now.
Logan, I don't want to go. I'm happy.
There.
There, you see?
- Patron, couldn't we just-- - Rama.. Yes, Rama II?
Let these two gentlemen go on their way?
Oh. And deny them a life of virtue and harmony?
No. No, that would be much too cruel.
Guards, deliver them for processing.
Oh, don't be alarmed.
No one has ever shed a drop of blood in our society.
Bloodless persuasion. Like a friendly brainwashing.
Our weapons cause no pain.
They simply render the victim unconscious.
And when you awaken, you will be as happy as Jessica.
[instrumental music]
You won't feel a thing.
I believe you.
[zapping]
Sometimes, there are decided advantages to not being human.
[dramatic music]
[knocks]
Jessica.
[knocks]
Come on.
Come on.
Rem, we can't leave without Jessica.
We can't take on the whole city.
[zaps]
[music continues]
They can't get through the force field. Let's go.
Come on, Logan, we're almost there.
Rem, we'll never make it through that force field.
You are not dealing with a mere human, Logan.
I can generate a powerful neutralizing field.
Now, stay close behind me.
Don't get out of my shadow.
- How do you feel? - Positively refreshed.
Company.
Logan! Over here.
Behind you.
It's not the same Jessica.
- What? - Processing.
[footsteps]
Logan, I was afraid you'd been caught in their force field.
Jessica, don't you know what's happened to you?
Yes, I'm with my people.
They did process you before they threw you out?
You are Castouts?
To the fingertips.
They're lying.
I say they die.
[zaps]
That gun.
Where did you get that gun?
Where I got mine.
We stole them from the Positives.
[laughs]
Well done.
One day we'll fight them with their own weapons.
'Welcome, Castouts.'
[creaks]
Jessica would never deliberately lead me
into a trap, no matter what they did to her.
I told you, she's not the same Jessica.
You keep saying that. What does it mean exactly?
It appears they've found a way to divide
each person into two separate people.
The one good, the positive. The other evil, the negative.
Two separate bodies? Rem, that's impossible.
The only things that are impossible, my dear Logan
are those which have not yet been mastered.
It's the only logical explanation.
We've already seen Modok
and the Patron look like identical twins.
And Brawn and Positive 14, also identical.
And yet they're not brothers.
They're just the light and dark side of each other.
So after processing..
...the Negatives become the Castouts?
In order to create the perfect society
all good and no evil.
I shudder to think what that machine
would've done to my circuits.
Rem.
The Patron's wife.
Why did she look as though she could
hardly keep from screaming?
Why did she rush away from the table?
I see what you mean.
Well, perhaps the process doesn't really work.
At least not perfectly.
Maybe good and evil can never be completely separated.
Maybe people need both in order to be human.
Come to think of it, even the Castouts aren't totally evil.
They could have done away with us at any time.
What if that's it, Rem?
What if the Castouts and the Positives
need each other?
Maybe we can convince them.
Jessica came here one complete human being.
And that's how I want her to leave.
Let's just hope the machine works in reverse.
[laughing]
- Modok. - Easy, Logan.
That's far enough.
Can we talk?
These matters are better settled by hand-to-hand combat.
It's not about her.
- It's about all of you. - Don't listen to him.
Quiet. Quiet, girl.
- Talk. - Do you enjoy being a Castout?
Living as you do?
Well, do you have something better to offer me?
To live as they live, in the city.
[chuckles]
Castouts living like Positives?
But aren't you one and the same?
No, no, we are processed.
What if the process could be reversed?
[chuckles] All of us, one again?
- As we once were? - Yes.
That's a dream.
We could never go back to the city.
My friend Rem here
is able to neutralize the force field.
A small talent, really.
Modok, they lie to you. They haven't been processed.
And Logan's friend.. Do you know what he is?
He isn't human at all.
He's a machine with a human face.
Is that true?
I'm afraid so, yes.
Now give me a reason to trust you.
Because you hate what you are, what you've become.
You can trust me.
I can lead you through the force field.
That much was true.
To be complete again, to..
To be one again.
I have found how they managed their escape.
According to the report, the one in green
'was not immobilized by the stun gun.'
(Patron) 'Are you saying he's not human?'
(Positive 14) 'It is the only explanation, Patron.'
An android.
And that would explain
how they were able to penetrate the force field.
And it might also suggest that we haven't
seen the last of them.
They're certain to come for their companion.
They would not dare. Not alone.
[chuckles] No.
No, but they might enlist the aid of Modok and his men.
What are your orders, Patron?
Double the guard.
And when you capture them, uh..
I wish Modok to be brought to me personally.
What about the visitors?
When the time comes.
What will happen to them?
The Castouts?
Why?
'Are you concerned about their fate?'
[sighs]
I confess, Patron..
...there are times that I, I think of them
and feel sorry for them.
Naturally.
They're a part of us.
But a part we must forget and if necessary destroy
if they come back.
For the sake of the good.
Destroy?
No blood will be spilled.
If they're placed in the center module of the processing chamber
they will be destroyed because they can no longer divide.
You do understand?
Yes.
And it is the way things must be.
Rama II, nothing will change what is between us.
I have tried to make you happy, Patron.
You have made me happy.
[dramatic music]
[horse neighing]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[beeping]
Alright, Rem and I will go first.
When the way is clear
I'll blink this light three times.
Don't take too long.
[dramatic music]
I'm not armed.
If anything goes wrong, I wanna be the one
who survives, not the other one.
[music continues]
[music continues]
[whirring]
Jessica.
[footsteps approaching]
[whirring]
In there.
[intense music]
She disappeared.
Why would she come back?
To kill you so that she'd survive.
[dramatic music]
[alarm blaring]
(Positive 14) Drop your weapons.
It's a trap.
The strangers led us into it.
You give us too little credit. They did not betray you.
The others are here. Bring them.
They captured Modok. They'll be coming after us.
This way, quickly.
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
You came to kill me?
Only if there was no other way.
Why?
For stealing our birthright.
I only did what I thought was right.
Often the answer of a man who knows he's done wrong.
Condemning us to a life outside the city..
...at the mercy of our instincts.
Worse than animals, we kill for sport.
I allowed you to live.
I could have had you destroyed.
[Modok chuckles]
No, you can't destroy us by getting rid of us.
We're part of you.
And you're a part of us.
And the machine doesn't work as it was meant to.
Even you should know it.
A part of the good and a part of the evil..
...remains in all of us afterwards.
It's..
It's the nature of man.
And it was meant to be so.
And no machine will ever change it.
Only the Patron has the other key.
No one will disturb us for a while.
But you said that this was the way out.
'It is.'
The Patron means to destroy the Castouts.
- You can save them. - How?
By helping me to become whole again.
So the process can be reversed?
(Rama II) 'Yes.'
What's stopping you?
The other part of me.
Is she among the Castouts?
No.
She's dead.
'You see, she died when we were processed.'
When we were 6.
She was given to the Castouts to be buried.
She was the positive.
My mother exchanged us. Only she knew.
And the Patron?
No, we've managed to keep it from him.
What if he finds out?
He'll put me out like all the others.
(Logan) 'But the other part of you is dead, what can we do?'
She's a Positive. Together, we could become one.
No, I'm sorry.
You didn't really believe that we would agree to that?
You came back here to bring her together with the other Jessica?
- Did you not? - Yes.
The other Jessica came back to kill you.
She will never agree to be reunited.
How could you know the other Jessica came with us
unless you saw her?
You helped her to escape, didn't you?
You're holding her somewhere.
Think.
The Patron will do as I ask.
He will send the Castouts back behind the force field.
He will not destroy them or you.
If you agree to be reunited with me
we could help rule the city, make it perfect.
You would be the patroness.
Rama II, has the experiment been tried with two different people?
No, but I'm willing to take the risk.
I cannot go on the way I am.
But then it might kill you both.
Rama II, people are as they are.
I wish we could help you, but the machine destroyed
the other part of you.
It's gone. It can never be restored.
We will not give you Jessica's life.
If only the Patron knew..
...the one truly evil thing is the machine itself.
Where is the other Jessica?
[dramatic music]
(Negative Jessica) 'I'm alive! I'm gonna stay alive!'
Jessica.
They must be put into the modules
from which they emerged, or both will die.
Jessica, it's alright.
You'll be as you were, as you were meant to be.
[beeping]
[knock on door]
Leave this area. That is an order.
Summon the Patron.
[dramatic music]
(Rama II) Just a few more minutes.
[beeping]
[high-pitched note]
[beeping]
[dramatic music]
[beeping]
[whirring]
[dramatic music]
Take them prisoner.
[beeping]
[rumbling]
[panting]
[static]
[heavy breathing]
There's something I must tell you.
That you're a Castout?
You knew?
I've known from the beginning.
You let me stay with you?
I loved you.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
You came here to be one again?
To reverse the process?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
'For everyone.'
Afterwards, the machine will be destroyed.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
[instrumental music]
Did all that really happen?
It was an experiment to tidy up human nature. Bound to fail.
Are you happy?
I guess knowing I could be unhappy
makes me feel pretty good
about the way things are right now.
I certainly saw another side of you.
I'll try and keep away from that one.
[chuckles]
All that commotion about good and evil..
...whatever they are.
I thank my lucky stars I have a cluster of electronic chips
instead of a conscience.
It saves all that soul-searching.
[laughing]

Mother, I can't!
It's alright, it's alright.
You're not hurting me.
Forgive me, mother.
- I have no right to be here. - Shh. Hush, child.
I should go where I belong with the Castouts.
How long do you think you would last among the Castouts?
I don't care.
Mother, I love the Patron.
I love him but...but I'm afraid
that some night I might lose control and kill him.
You won't. The evil can be controlled.
You've shown that it can.
You must go on.

Why did she look as though she could
hardly keep from screaming?
Why did she rush away from the table?
I see what you mean.
Well, perhaps the process doesn't really work.
At least not perfectly.
Maybe good and evil can never be completely separated.
Maybe people need both in order to be human.
Come to think of it, even the Castouts aren't totally evil.
They could have done away with us at any time.
What if that's it, Rem?
What if the Castouts and the Positives
need each other?
Maybe we can convince them.
Jessica came here one complete human being.
And that's how I want her to leave.
Let's just hope the machine works in reverse.
[laughing]
- Modok. - Easy, Logan.
That's far enough.
Can we talk?
These matters are better settled by hand-to-hand combat.
It's not about her.
- It's about all of you. - Don't listen to him.
Quiet. Quiet, girl.
- Talk. - Do you enjoy being a Castout?
Living as you do?
Well, do you have something better to offer me?
To live as they live, in the city.
[chuckles]
Castouts living like Positives?
But aren't you one and the same?
No, no, we are processed.
What if the process could be reversed?
[chuckles] All of us, one again?
- As we once were? - Yes.
That's a dream.
We could never go back to the city.
My friend Rem here
is able to neutralize the force field.
A small talent, really.
Modok, they lie to you. They haven't been processed.
And Logan's friend.. Do you know what he is?
He isn't human at all.
He's a machine with a human face.
Is that true?
I'm afraid so, yes.
Now give me a reason to trust you.
Because you hate what you are, what you've become.
You can trust me.
I can lead you through the force field.
That much was true.
To be complete again, to..
To be one again.
I have found how they managed their escape.
According to the report, the one in green
'was not immobilized by the stun gun.'
(Patron) 'Are you saying he's not human?'
(Positive 14) 'It is the only explanation, Patron.'
An android.
And that would explain
how they were able to penetrate the force field.
And it might also suggest that we haven't
seen the last of them.
They're certain to come for their companion.
They would not dare. Not alone.
[chuckles] No.
No, but they might enlist the aid of Modok and his men.
What are your orders, Patron?
Double the guard.
And when you capture them, uh..
I wish Modok to be brought to me personally.
What about the visitors?
When the time comes.
What will happen to them?
The Castouts?
Why?
'Are you concerned about their fate?'
[sighs]
I confess, Patron..
...there are times that I, I think of them
and feel sorry for them.
Naturally.
They're a part of us.
But a part we must forget and if necessary destroy
if they come back.
For the sake of the good.
Destroy?
No blood will be spilled.
If they're placed in the center module of the processing chamber
they will be destroyed because they can no longer divide.
You do understand?
Yes.
And it is the way things must be.
Rama II, nothing will change what is between us.
I have tried to make you happy, Patron.
You have made me happy.
[dramatic music]
[horse neighing]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[beeping]
Alright, Rem and I will go first.
When the way is clear
I'll blink this light three times.
Don't take too long.
[dramatic music]
I'm not armed.
If anything goes wrong, I wanna be the one
who survives, not the other one.
[music continues]
[music continues]
[whirring]
Jessica.
[footsteps approaching]
[whirring]
In there.
[intense music]
She disappeared.
Why would she come back?
To kill you so that she'd survive.
[dramatic music]
[alarm blaring]
(Positive 14) Drop your weapons.
It's a trap.
The strangers led us into it.
You give us too little credit. They did not betray you.
The others are here. Bring them.
They captured Modok. They'll be coming after us.
This way, quickly.
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music]
You came to kill me?
Only if there was no other way.
Why?
For stealing our birthright.
I only did what I thought was right.
Often the answer of a man who knows he's done wrong.
Condemning us to a life outside the city..
...at the mercy of our instincts.
Worse than animals, we kill for sport.
I allowed you to live.
I could have had you destroyed.
[Modok chuckles]
No, you can't destroy us by getting rid of us.
We're part of you.
And you're a part of us.
And the machine doesn't work as it was meant to.
Even you should know it.
A part of the good and a part of the evil..
...remains in all of us afterwards.
It's..
It's the nature of man.
And it was meant to be so.
And no machine will ever change it.
Only the Patron has the other key.
No one will disturb us for a while.
But you said that this was the way out.
'It is.'
The Patron means to destroy the Castouts.
- You can save them. - How?
By helping me to become whole again.
So the process can be reversed?
(Rama II) 'Yes.'
What's stopping you?
The other part of me.
Is she among the Castouts?
No.
She's dead.
'You see, she died when we were processed.'
When we were 6.
She was given to the Castouts to be buried.
She was the positive.
My mother exchanged us. Only she knew.
And the Patron?
No, we've managed to keep it from him.
What if he finds out?
He'll put me out like all the others.
(Logan) 'But the other part of you is dead, what can we do?'
She's a Positive. Together, we could become one.
No, I'm sorry.
You didn't really believe that we would agree to that?
You came back here to bring her together with the other Jessica?
- Did you not? - Yes.
The other Jessica came back to kill you.
She will never agree to be reunited.
How could you know the other Jessica came with us
unless you saw her?
You helped her to escape, didn't you?
You're holding her somewhere.
Think.
The Patron will do as I ask.
He will send the Castouts back behind the force field.
He will not destroy them or you.
If you agree to be reunited with me
we could help rule the city, make it perfect.
You would be the patroness.
Rama II, has the experiment been tried with two different people?
No, but I'm willing to take the risk.
I cannot go on the way I am.
But then it might kill you both.
Rama II, people are as they are.
I wish we could help you, but the machine destroyed
the other part of you.
It's gone. It can never be restored.
We will not give you Jessica's life.
If only the Patron knew..
...the one truly evil thing is the machine itself.
Where is the other Jessica?
[dramatic music]
(Negative Jessica) 'I'm alive! I'm gonna stay alive!'
Jessica.
They must be put into the modules
from which they emerged, or both will die.
Jessica, it's alright.
You'll be as you were, as you were meant to be.
[beeping]
[knock on door]
Leave this area. That is an order.
Summon the Patron.
[dramatic music]
(Rama II) Just a few more minutes.
[beeping]
[high-pitched note]
[beeping]
[dramatic music]
[beeping]
[whirring]
[dramatic music]
Take them prisoner.
[beeping]
[rumbling]
[panting]
[static]
[heavy breathing]
There's something I must tell you.
That you're a Castout?
You knew?
I've known from the beginning.
You let me stay with you?
I loved you.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
You came here to be one again?
To reverse the process?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
'For everyone.'
Afterwards, the machine will be destroyed.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
[instrumental music]
Did all that really happen?
It was an experiment to tidy up human nature. Bound to fail.
Are you happy?
I guess knowing I could be unhappy
makes me feel pretty good
about the way things are right now.
I certainly saw another side of you.
I'll try and keep away from that one.
[chuckles]
All that commotion about good and evil..
...whatever they are.
I thank my lucky stars I have a cluster of electronic chips
instead of a conscience.
It saves all that soul-searching.
[laughing]
