at him.
He weighs 120 pounds.
He wouldn't last
3o seconds.
Who else?
What about
those bank
robbers?
They made that
suicide pact.
Did they commit suicide?
Obviously not, Damon.
Then they're unreliable.
I got a friend
at a talent agency.
Hello, gorgeous.
Somebody with stamina.
Tony!
Pipe that feed
in here now.
Look at this.
This is yesterday's
prison break.
Look.
Look at that
mother move.
He's beautiful.
Who is he?
That's Ben Richards.
The cop
from the massacre?
Sensational!
I want him.
You can't have him.
Why not?
You know our contract.
We never get
military prisoners.
He's still
at large.
They'll get him
for me.
Cadres can't have it
both ways.
I can get 10 rating points
for his biceps alone.
Hello, this is Killian.
Get me the Justice
Department,
Entertainment Division.
No, hold that, operator.
Get me
the President's agent.
What is this?
That's my
synthesizer setup.
I'm a musician.
well, I'm really
a singer.
I wrote
the network's
theme song-
We bring you joy,
we bring you strife.
You must be
very proud of yourself.
It's really nothing.
Look at this.
They're all
on the censored list.
And look what
we have here.
This looks like
black-market clothing.
And you wrote
the network jingle.
Come on.
Everybody does it.
Money.
That's what I need.
Money.
Money's not going
to do you any good.
You don't have
a travel pass.
You do.
Now I do.
Now, let's see.
Now, where should we go?
Maybe someplace warm.
I need to work
on my tan anyway.
You get so pale
in prison.
There you are.
Good.
I'm going to untie you.
Then you're going to
get dressed.
You're coming with me.
Oh, Yeah.
Well, why should I?
Because I'm going
to say...
please.
Well...why didn't
you say so?
All flights to Pretoria,
Tutuville, and Mandelaburg
are on schedule.
Flights to Anaconda, Chile,
are delayed several hours.
All Mideast flights
are cancelled
until further notice.
You'll never
pull this off.
You are unarmed,
outnumbered.
Face it,
you're screwed.
So why don't you
forget about this
and turn
yourself in?
You know,
You have a very
negative attitude.
Remember, I can
break your neck
like a chicken's.
Travel pass.
What a beautiful
day today.
I can practically
taste those pina coladas.
Miss?
You didn't put it
in your purse again?
Last vacation she put
my credit cards
in there,
and we couldn't find them
for a week.
Move it up there!
Go on! Go on!
Can't live with them,
and you can't live
without them.
I'm warning you,
I get sick-
air sick, car sick.
I'm going to throw up
all over you.
Go ahead. It won't show
on this shirt.
Oow!
Help!
He's Ben Richards!
He's trying
to kidnap me!
Help!
Positive I.D.
Benjamin A. Richards.
Priority one fugitive.
All units, terminal seven.
All right.
We're on him.
Close the Net.
You move
and you're dead!
Hi, cutie pie.
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 going to say
The same thing
about you.
I saw the video
of your prison break.
I think we can
help each other.
I've got the brains.
You've got talent.
You've got more.
You've got talent,
charisma,
That's why I pulled
a few strings
to get you here.
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, Ben.
A trifle limited,
but brilliant.
Take a look.
Isn't that your old
schoolteacher buddy?
There's your buddy
who helped you
in the prison
infirmary.
Weiss, Laughlin.
What are you going
to 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 convicts.
I put them on the show.
You know you've
got a chance,
but your buddies, Ben,
get the "B" list.
If you don't do
The Running Man
tomorrow,
Weiss and Laughlin
are
