Where am I?

In the village.

What do you want?

Information.

Whose side are you on?

That would be telling.

We want information...

Information...

Information.

You won't get it.

By hook or by crook... ...we will.

Who are you?

The new Number Two.

Who is Number One?

You are Number Six.

I am not a number. I am a free man!

Why did you slash your wrists, 73?

Aren't you happy here?

You're not being very cooperative.

There's nothing I can tell you.

Come, now, you must know where your husband is.

He's still there.

- Where? - Oh, somewhere there.

He had some work to finish.

Was he devoted to you?

- He is devoted to me. - Oh.

You don't mind about him and the woman, Mariah?

That's a lie!

Stop protecting your husband. He went to her hotel several times.

Then there was the villa, of course.

Let me show you just how loyal your dear husband is to you.

They look quite at home together.

Would you like to know the date, the place?

Look.

I've wasted enough time.

You shouldn't have interfered. You'll pay for this.

No...

You will.

This is Number Two. I want you in my house.

We've got nothing to talk about.

You defied my instructions to come here.

- We have things to discuss. - About the girl you murdered?

- No. I want to talk about you. - You're wasting your time.

- Many have tried. - Amateurs.

You're a professional. A professional sadist?

Light blue.

Fearless - or are you?

Each man has his breaking point.

You are no exception.

Ah, you react!

Are you afraid of me?

What is going on up there?

Disgust.

You think you're strong. We'll see.

Du musst Amboss oder Hammer sein.

- "You must be anvil or hammer." - I see you know your Goethe.

- And you see me as the anvil? - Precisely. I'm going to hammer you.

Number Two.

Yes, sir, everything's under control.

No, sir, no problems.

Assistance? No, sir, I can manage.

No, sir, of course. Be seeing you.

You were saying something about a hammer?

Get out.

Thank you very much.

I'll break you, Number Six.

Yes.

Get me the supervisor.

Supervisor? Number Two. Alert all posts.

Special surveillance on Number Six.

Report any unusual activity to me.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Tally Ho? That'll be two units.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, sir.

These, um, these new records...

I'd like to hear "L'Arlesienne".

Ah, yes, the Davier recording. Beautiful.

There's no one to touch him on Bizet.

- I'd like to hear them all. - I beg your pardon?

- How many have you got? - Six.

- May I have them? - If you insist. They're all the same.

- I doubt it. - Yes, sir.

Good.

Thank you, and the others - all of them.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much.

- Well, sir? - No. An unsatisfactory recording.

I thought it was first-class.

It's a matter of taste. Thank you, all the same.

- Be seeing you. - Be seeing you, sir.

Give me Number Two - urgent.

I don't understand. They sound identical.

Yes, sir.

And he was timing them?

Yes, sir. There was one in particular.

- I don't suppose you know which one? - I've no idea.

He kept looking at his watch, then he wrote something down.

Did he now?

The sleeves are all the same - no variation in tempo.

What was he listening for?

What makes one of these records different?

I've no idea. And that's not all - he left his "Tally Ho" behind.

And?

Look at the front page, sir.

You can go. Take these with you.

- Yes, sir. - Leave the paper.

What's he up to?

That's all, 14.

Number Six,

a plant?

Come on, we'll follow him.

- Follow him. - Yes, sir.

- Where is he now? - He's going down to the beach, sir.

I'll follow you down.

Which way is he heading?

He's going towards the swimming pool.

After him. Careful now.

What's he doing?

- He's going to the stone boat. - Go on reporting.

He's going aboard, he's going into the cabin.

Now he's come out. He's heading back.

Let him go. I'm coming to the boat.

- You're sure he didn't have it? - Quite sure.

- I shan't need you any more, 14. - I thought...

Don't, just obey orders.

Yes, sir.

Laboratory.

Yes, sir?

I understand, sir. I'll be over right away, sir.

- I want these tested immediately. - Yes, sir.

For what, sir?

Anything - words, figures, whatever's on them.

- There isn't... - Don't argue with me!

I'm telling you there is.

A message of some kind. Try everything - x-ray, infra...

- What are you staring at? - Nothing...

Then get on with it!

- Well? - This one's negative too.

Of course. I didn't expect anything else.

- Shall we put them through again? - No point. We've tried everything.

He won't like this.

Well?

I'm sorry, sir, but there's nothing.

Nothing?

No, sir, they're just blank sheets of paper.

They can't be!

Why should he hide blank sheets of paper in the boat?

Or are you hiding something?

- What do you mean, sir? - Are you hiding a message from me?

- Why should I do that, sir? - Perhaps you're in with Number Six?

You don't know what I'm talking about. Get out.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Can I help you?

Yes. I'd like to put an advert in the next issue.

Certainly, sir. What is it? I have it written down.

There you are.

- Hay mas mal... - Hay mas mal en el aldea que se suena.

Nine words. That'll be three units.

Good.

- Spanish, isn't it? - Yes. Cervantes - "Don Quixote".

Oh, yes.

A sort of personal joke between myself and a certain friend.

I see... Aldea, does that means "village"?

Yes.

Hospital.

Hospital? Psychiatrics, head of the department.

- Director of Psychiatrics. - Ah, yes.

What's the verdict on our "friend"?

What friend?

- Who is this? - Your report on Number Two.

What are you talking about? Who is this?

I understand, you'd rather not talk on the phone. Very wise.

I'll be seeing you later on, perhaps?

I understand , you'd rather not talk on the phone. Very wise.

I'll be seeing you later on, perhaps?

- Perhaps you'd explain? - I'm as much in the dark as you.

Are you?

- You don't know who phoned you? - No.

It was Number Six. The oscilloscope will prove it.

Voices are like fingerprints - no two are the same.

Even if the voice is disguised, the pattern doesn't change.

I'll now show you the voice pattern of your caller.

There.

I understand, you'd rather not talk on the phone.

I'll be seeing you later on, perhaps?'

Now you'll see the pattern of the single word "you"

taken during an interview with Number Six.

Let's compare them.

If the word "you" on the tape is identical to that one,

the patterns lock.

...talk on the phone.

I'll be seeing you.

As I thought, they match.

It was Number Six who phoned.

- Do you still plead innocent? - I haven't the faintest idea.

You aren't preparing a report on my...

- ... mental health? - No.

- Number Six didn't see you later? - No.

- Then why did he ring you? - I've told you, I don't know.

You're a psychiatrist, aren't you? Would you say Number Six was mad?

Not according to our records.

Then he had a reason for phoning you. What was it?

Why don't you ask him?

- DO YOU WANT TO SIT IN THIS CHAIR? - I was merely...

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

- You can go. - Thank you.

A request, you say?

Yes, sir, that's all.

He asked me to play the "Farandole" from the "L'Arlesienne Suite".

What else?

I don't understand, sir.

What else did he say?

Nothing, sir.

Nothing.

Number Six just asked you to play a tune

and then walked away?

Did he, sir? I didn't notice.

Does that make sense to you?

No, sir.

No, it doesn't, does it?

I'll ask you again.

Did Number Six say anything else?

About me, for example?

About you, sir?

Did he?

No, sir.

Perhaps you've forgotten. Try and remember.

- He didn't, sir. - You're lying, aren't you?!

There's something going on.

- I don't know what you mean, sir. - "I don't know what you mean."

You're all lying! It's a plot.

Who do they think they're dealing with?

Pygmies!

Get out!

Here is a personal message for Number Six, from 113.

I'll call you later.

Warmest greetings on your birthday.

May the sun shine on you today and every day.

That concludes the messages. Now, some music.

What's going on here?

Going on, Number Two?

That personal message for Number Six...

What about it?

Do you all think I'm stupid?

- I don't understand. - Don't you?

Birthday greetings for Number Six from Number 113.

- That's right. - It's not, it's all wrong!

It is not Number Six's birthday today.

- Oh. - Yes.

- Number 113 doesn't exist. - Doesn't exist?

An old woman - she died a month ago.

Well?

I swear...

You're innocent! You know nothing.

Nothing at all.

May the sun shine on you today and every day.

- What does it mean? - It means what it says.

- It isn't a coded message? - I've no idea.

You're finished.

Finished?

I'm relieving you of your post.

- You, take over. - Yes, Number Two.

Steer clear of Number Six or you'll lose more than your job.

Yes, Number Two.

I'LL BREAK THIS CONSPIRACY!

You say Number Six put this personal ad in?

Yes, I checked.

Hay mas mal en el aldea que se suena.

There's more harm in The Village than is dreamt of.

- Number Six should be fixed. - I can take care of him.

It's got to be done soon. Every day he's a bigger threat to you.

I'll handle him. He's undermining your authority.

He doesn't hide it. He's out to poison the whole Village.

He's a plant. If he's harmed, our masters will know who's responsible.

Leave it to me. They'll never connect it to you - an accident.

It's the only way, sir.

What do you want?

Nothing. You sent for me.

I did?

You said you wanted to see me urgently.

- I didn't phone you. - It was your voice.

He said he was Number Two.

Someone here is impersonating him.

I have some calls to make.

I shan't need you.

Right, sir.

You're a troublemaker.

Do you know what I'd really like?

To dust you down. I'd enjoy that.

Nothing's stopping you. Kosho?

- I challenge you. - I accept.

- Hello. - Good day, sir.

I'd like a small notebook.

Certainly, sir.

There's a nice little selection, sir.

That one's nice, I'll have that.

- Will that be all, sir? - No. I think I'd like, er,

...one of these. - Ah, yes, sir...

Very good value - special import.

Er...

What about this type, sir?

No, I'll have this one.

As you please, sir.

That'll be 42 units in all, sir.

- A what? - A cuckoo clock.

That's not all. I think he was looking for a special one, sir.

He didn't want the one I picked.

He seemed to be searching for a specific box.

All right.

What's he up to with that clock?

It's a bomb.

It must be a bomb!

- Supervisor. - Yes?

Number Six approaching restricted area.

Let's have him on the screen.

Get me Number Two quickly.

What's the matter?

Number Six approaching restricted area .

What's he up to?

He could be making for the shores or the hills.

Don't lose him, I'm coming over.

Track that bird.

Tracking, sir.

Beam.

Beam on, sir...

Yellow.

Tracking... Orange.

He's out of sight.

Get me a fix. Radar.

- We've got a fix, sir. - Prepare to fire.

- What do you think you're doing?! - That pigeon is carrying a message.

Don't destroy it. I want that message. Minimum strength.

Minimum strength, sir.

Fire!

- I want this deciphered right away. - Yes, sir.

20, 60,

40, 47,

67, 81,

91,

80.

"Vital message tomorrow, 0600, by visual signal."

Visual signal?

Stand by, observers.

Standing by, sir.

- Camera 8. - Camera 8 on, sir.

Switch to Camera 5.

Camera 5 on, sir.

- Camera 13. - Camera 13 on, sir.

- Get that Morse down! - Yes, sir.

Get in closer.

Get him as close as you can. Who's he signalling to?

We'll find out. Radar!

- Anything? - No, sir, not at sea.

- There must be. - There's no ship, sir.

There must be an aircraft, helicopter, something.

There's nothing, sir.

Under the sea - submarine. Try the sonar.

No, sir, there's nothing coming through.

He must be signalling to someone.

- The Morse, did you get it? - Yes, sir.

What does it say?

Well?!

Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man

bake me a cake as fast as you can.

It must be a special code.

Here's your answer, sir.

Pat a cake, pat a cake...

- This is what you put in. - And that's what came out, sir.

If it is a new code,

then the computer's not programmed for it!

Morning. Did you sleep well?

I had another terrible night - insomnia. I was so restless.

There's no point lying in bed when you're awake, eh?

- What are you talking about? - I got up, went out,

had a long walk on the beach. It's marvellous at that time.

- The air is brisk, clear... - You're out of your mind.

...the rain on your face... Don't look now, the waiter's watching.

It's the only way, I'm so glad you agree with me.

Get me Number Two.

- You expect me to believe that?! - It's true. He...

- Asked if you'd slept well? - Yes, sir.

- You were whispering. - He was.

- What about? - He said...

- Yes. - He talked rubbish.

Then he said the waiter's watching us.

Why? Why did he say that?!

- I don't know. - Don't you?

- You're working with Number Six! - Me, sir?

- I thought I could trust you. - You can - I'm loyal.

Traitor!

Traitor! Traitor!

You and your friends have lost! I'll break you all!

You're in this plot too, aren't you? Oh, yes!

Get out of this house!

Turn that thing off!

- I beg your pardon? - Turn it off!

I'm listening. Music makes for a quiet mind.

I'd rather you didn't.

What's your problem?

- You put the poison in. - Did I?

With Number Two - I'm finished!

- Sorry to hear that. - I'll kill you!

- What are you doing here? - I've come to keep you company.

All your friends have deserted you.

You can't trust anyone any more. It's a pity.

Odd, isn't it? All this power at your disposal and yet you're alone.

You do feel alone, don't you?

- What do you want? - To talk, to listen.

- I have nothing to say. - That's not like the old Number Two.

Where is the strong man, the hammer?

You have to be hammer or anvil, remember?

I know... who you are.

- I'm Number Six. - No, "D" Six!

- D Six? - Yes.

Sent here by our masters to spy on me!

Sorry, I'm not quite with you.

Stop acting. I was onto you from the beginning!

- I knew what you were doing! - Tell me.

The messages, the recruits...

I knew you were a plant. YOU DIDN'T FOOL ME!

Maybe you fooled yourself?

- What does that mean? - Let's suppose that what you say

is true, that I was planted here...

By XO4.

- XO4? - Mmm.

Very well, by XO4 to check on Village security, to check on you...

- YOU WERE! - What would've been your first duty?

Not to interfere, but you did interfere.

There is a name for that - SABOTAGE.

No!

- Who are you working for, Number Two? - FOR US!

That is not the way XO4 will see it.

I swear to you!

You could be working for the enemy or a blunderer.

Either way, you've failed!

They do not like failure here.

You've...

...destroyed me.

No...

You've destroyed yourself.

A character flaw - you're afraid of your masters.

A weak link in the chain waiting to be broken.

Don't report me.

I don't intend to.

You're going to report yourself.

I have to report a breakdown in control.

Number Two needs to be replaced.

Yes, this is Number Two reporting.
