Best Psychological Episode
Those Number Two's come and go with great frequency. It is an interesting part of the fabric of this series. In this one, the cold hearted leader of the village deliberately drives a poor woman to suicide without a second of compassion. Number Six vows he will get his revenge. Other than an occasional fistfight, Number Six engages in little violence. He knows there are a lot of factors he must puzzle out if he is to get back to his former life. What he chooses to do is to play mind games with Number Two. He plays on his paranoia by doing seemingly incongruous things and letting the mind go crazy. He buys several copies of the same record, he goes to a beached ship and leaves a set of blank papers, he puts a note in Spanish in the personals in the Newspaper. Meanwhile, the overly zealous Number Two is beside himself, trying to figure out what he is doing. He begins to fire the people closest to him, most of whom don't have a clue what is going on. Number Fourteen, his closest ally, is puzzled as well. He would act with violence but his boss is afraid this would show his failure. Excellent acting as the usually controlled and cold Village overseer shrivels before us. Nicely done, mature piece of writing.
