did you?
Last vacation she put my credit cards
in there, and we couldn't find them.
- Here. Could you hold this, please?
- You want to move it up there?
We got a plane to catch.
Go on! Go on!
You can't live with them...
- and you can't live without them.
- This is ridiculous!
I'm warning you, I get sick...
air sick, car sick.
I'm gonna throw up all over you.
Go ahead. It won't show
on this shirt.
Help!
He's Ben Richards!
He's trying to kidnap me!
Help!
Positive ID.
Benjamin A. Richards.
Priority-one fugitive.
All units, terminal seven.
All right. We're on him.
Close in!
Go! Go! Move!
You move and you're dead!
Hi, cutie pie.
You know, one of us
is in deep trouble.
You know who I am?
I've seen you before.
You're the asshole on TV.
That's funny. I was gonna say
the same thing about you.
I saw the video of your prison break.
Sensational.
Ben, I think we might be able
to help each other out.
I've got the brains,
and you've got talent.
You've got more.
You've got talent...
you've got charisma,
and you've got balls.
That's why I pulled a few strings
to get you here.
And that's why...
I'd like you to volunteer to appear...
on tomorrow's broadcast
of The Running Man.
Fuck you.
You're a brilliant conversationalist.
A trifle limited, but brilliant.
Take a look.
Isn't that your old
schoolteacher buddy there? Huh?
There's your other buddy
who helped you in the prison infirmary.
Weiss. Laughlin.
What are you gonna do with them?
Well, that's really
up to you, Ben.
You see, I created The Running Man,
but I don't make the rules.
I got a contract
with the government.
They send me the convicts,
I put them on the show. You've seen it.
You know at least
you've got a chance.
But your buddies, Ben...
get the B list.
So if you don't do
The Running Man tomorrow...
Weiss and Laughlin...
are gonna go on...
in your place.
What do you say?
We'll see how far this clown runs
when we're done with him.
Starting barium IV.
That's a go.
Reading all systems down the line.
Your bird is singing
loud and clear.
All systems check out.
Mandibular restraint.
Interphalangic injection.
Deltoid I M injection.
- Procedure completed.
- Takes care of him.
Sons of bitches!
He's wrapped.
Knock him out till show time.
These guys never stop competing.
I get thirstyjust watching them,
and in my line of work...
I can't afford that filled-up feeling.
That's why I drink Cadre Cola.
It hits the spot.
The capture of renegade police officer
and mass murderer Ben Richards...
was filmed yesterday
by runway security cameras.
Richards's hostage, Amber Mendez,
was unharmed.
Some airport personnel
were not so lucky...
like the ticket agent and security guard
Richards shot at point-blank range...
when he arrived at the airport.
- But that's not true.
- They were taken to Cadre Hospital...
where they remain
in guarded condition.
And now, back to
Climbing for Dollars.
Mr. Richards.
I'm your court-appointed
theatrical agent.
It's time.
And digital effects number one.
Roll process mod.
Okay, you guys.
Hey, here we are.
Hey, over here! Here!
Big crowd tonight.
Better there than in the streets.
Who's your number one stalker?
Hey, Buzzsaw!
Slice those runners for me!
He touched me! You guys see that?
Buzzsaw touched me!
Don't touch the hair!
Go!
Look, do you have any more change?
I ran out.
- Yes.
- Six dollars. Jesus, this place...
You're lucky to be alive.
I mean, that guy, he's killed, what...
60, 80, 100 people?
- Not according to him, he hasn't.
- That's what they all say.
