My birds!
What is it?
I don't know.
Whatever it is...
...it's warm.
We must be outside.
I didn't know any place could be like this.
Everything hurts.
I hate outside!
- I hate it! I hate it! - Jessica!
It'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.
It's dark...
...and cold.
And I'm tired.
Come on. We must get out of here.
Sorry.
I can't go any further.
Let's rest in here.
Do you think everything will turn to ice?
I doubt it.
Don't ever let go.
I won't.
It 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, you're right.
It must be near now.
We'll find it.
Look!
Logan, look!
Water!
Look.
Look at your palm.
The crystal.
It's clear.
What does it mean?
The life clocks have no power outside.
We're free!
You can have...
...any woman in the city.
What do you really want?
You know.
The choice is still mine?
Of course.
This time...
...the answer's yes.
It 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?
I don't know. They must have left here.
A long time ago.
I wonder what they were like.
That must be one of them.
Then they looked almost like us.
Except...
...I'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.
I wonder what they are?
"Beloved husband." "Beloved wife."
I wonder what it means.
Who are you?
I'm Logan 5.
This is Jessica 6.
I never much cared for my name, even when I could remember it.
We're from the city.
Yes, we came through the ice.
We got past Box.
Box?
This is Sanctuary, isn't it?
Sanctuary?
May I see your hand?
Look at his face.
His hair.
- Is that what it is to grow old? - I guess so, yes.
But how old are you?
I don't know. I'm as old...
...as I am, I suppose.
Your hair is white.
Yes, well, it wasn't always that color, you know.
I got my color someplace here.
It wasn't your color. It wasn't much like hers, either.
Those cracks in your face...
...do they hurt?
Can I touch them?
Oh, my.
Try.
Are you alone here?
Hardly.
I got all these cats.
Is 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?
The naming of cats is a difficult matter.
It's not just one of your holiday games.
You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter...
...when I 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 I 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?
I'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. I don't know.
What makes you think that?
My parents told me.
My mother...
...and my father.
You knew your mother and father?
Sure, they raised me.
How were you grown?
Inside your mother?
Right in there.
Are you sure?
That's what she told me.
I have to believe her. I 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.
Why did you want to see my hand before?
You'd better show me yours.
Yes, you had.
That's lovely.
That's beautiful.
Can I have one of these?
I'm sorry. It's not possible.
That's just not fair.
Hello.
I'll give you one of my best cats, my favorite.
I'll give you a Jellicle cat. I will.
I'm sorry, I really don't have anything to give you.
That's the truth.
You hear that?
Here, you can have this.
What is that treasure?
I 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.
I 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. It's marked on the wall someplace.
All the people, all the time...
...shall not...
I'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, I suppose.
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!
I know it exists.
- It 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. It never existed.
Just the hope.
You're wrong!
- It has to be! It has to be! - Oh, Jessica.
Oh, my.
Don't cry.
Look, I got some bigger ones of these over there. I don't know who they all are.
I think they must be family.
That'll cheer you up.
That's my color. That's what it is.
Leave her alone.
Surprised you, Doris, didn't he?
Now, I don't know who these all are.
I'm quite used to them. They all look the same to me now.
When I first found them, they were a little different.
You know, feel free to look at them.
But they're all old men.
Father said that one of these people...
...never told a lie. I don't know which one it is.
You thought I wouldn't find you, didn't you?
You thought I'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.
I've seen this face before.
Yes, isn't he the...
Logan!
Why, Logan?
Why?
Is this good? Is this what you want?
We had good times.
I let you go.
You wouldn't terminate a runner...
...and I covered for you!
Why did you let her?
And now, I have to finish you.
You are terminated, runner.
Francis, look at your palm.
Go on. Look at it.
Go on, look at it!
Believe me, it's true.
This isn't the truth.
This is a lie!
Francis, stop! Listen!
That was the right shot.
Watch out, now.
He's tricky.
He'll fool you.
You renewed.
I don't want to say anymore...
...but I hope that is understood, young woman.
Of course.
Now don't forget...
...you promised.
We'll remember.
But that's a long time off.
I wish I 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?
I 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.
If I don't go back and try to stop that...
...destroy them...
...I can't live here.
I couldn't live anywhere.
Don't you understand that?
All I want...
...is to be alive and with you.
That's all.
Do you think I want anything different now?
Must we leave soon?
As soon as it gets light.
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!
Come with us.
Yes. Come with us.
Yes, you must.
We need you now.
If 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.
Five million.
How many?
Is that more than my cats?
More.
Much, much more.
More than? Oh, my! And all of them alive!
Is it a long journey?
It's a journey.
We lived in most of these houses.
But they became too small for us...
...and ran out of mice, I guess. I don't know.
I 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? I don't even remember what...
Although, of course, the young people, yeah...
They say this thing used to be called a road.
Had to give bits of metal to use it.
How far away is it?
It's much further than it looks.
It's big.
It'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.
You know, I've been thinking.
Those words we saw...
..."Beloved husband." "Beloved wife."
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?
- I can't put it any different. - But you mean...
I mean, they lived together all their years?
Before I come along, I 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.
I think I'd like that.
Don't you?
Why not?
Beloved husband.
Beloved wife.
Beloved son.
Here we go.
That's right.
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.
It 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, I think so.
I don't know where, though.
Just took it for granted, like everything else.
I think it's our only chance.
Here, let me help you!
No, I can look after myself.
If ever a time comes...
...when I can't look after myself, I said to my cats...
"...Why, that's the moment that you..."
Where are you?
I'll have to tell him.
We're going to try and get in through here.
I'm sorry...
...I don't think you can make it.
Oh, my. I was so looking forward to seeing all those people.
I want you to meet them too.
Stay here as long as you can.
We'll bring them to you.
All the people?
You know...
...they've never seen a cat.
People have never seen a cat?
Oh, my.
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!
I've seen it!
She's seen it!
Look!
Look, it's clear!
Last Day...
... Capricorn 29s.
Year of the city 2274.
Carrousel begins.
No! Don't!
Don't go!
Listen to him!
He's telling the truth!
We've been outside!
There's another world outside!
We've seen it!
The life clocks are a lie!
Carrousel is a lie!
There is no renewal!
Nobody's going to be renewed!
Believe me!
Please listen!
Logan 5...
... did you find Sanctuary?
Did you find Sanctuary?
We will begin surrogation.
Your surrogates are engaged.
Logan 5...

An old man.
