You destroyed me.
No.. you destroyed yourself. You destroyed yourself. A character flaw. You were afraid of your masters. A weak link in the chain of command waiting to be broken.
Don't tell them... don't report me.
I don't intend to. You are going to report yourself.
[taking the phone] I have to report a breakdown.. in control. Number Two needs to be replaced. Yes, this is Number Two reporting.
Who are you?
I'm a number, just like you. Does it matter which?
How'd you get in?
The door was open.
Always is... to them, isn't it?
But I'm not one of them.
No. What do you want?
Help.
Go to the Town Hall. The Citizens' Council promises help and advice for everyone.
Their Citizen's Council.
As far as I'm concerned, what's theirs is yours.
I am not one of them.
No... no one is.
You refuse to understand. What I'm doing is for a principle. We are in this prison for life, all of us, but I have met no one here who has committed a crime. I protest in a manner they cannot ignore.
Some other way, then--not by an act of murder.
Assassination.
Call it what you like--the important matter is that the entire Village will be punished.
Maybe it is what they need to wake them up, to shake them out of their lethargy. To make them angry enough...
That's assuming they survive the punishment!
Tomorrow, after I've handed over office, I'm to be assassinated..
For "assassinated," substitute "executed."
Since it's arranged by my own people, you mean.
You don't mind?
Of course I mind. It's just that... well, I never thought it would happen to me.
It never does--to anybody. But it can be prevented.
Preventing is only postponing. You never understood us, Number Six. We never fail!
The Seal is the ceremony.
It's hollowed out, it's packed with explosives.
And before I hand it over to my successor...
It will be detonated by radio.
I can think of better ways to die.
And better causes to die for.
[to the new Number Two, firmly shaking his hand so he can't leave] Yes, and so the great day is nearly over. Went off rather well, I thought. Better than planned. And now you can look forward to your own retirement. And I'm sure they'll arrange something equally suitable for you when the day comes.
[Number Six and Number Two both look up as the helicopter carrying the retiring Number Two flies away -- Number Six releases his hand]
Be seeing you. ...Won't I?
It is the duty of this Committee to deal with complaints.
Complaints?
Your complaints.
Well done. I have several.
Do carry on.
No time for tea?
No. Only your future.
All right, say you're a poet and you were composing, and you failed to hear Number Ten's greeting.
Neglect of social principle.
Poetry has a social value.
He's trying to divide us.
His intentions are obvious. To stop us from helping this unfortunate girl.
You're trying to undermine my rehabilitation. Disrupt my social progress!
Strange talk for a poet.
Reactionary!
Rebel!
Disharmonious!
There is a saying, "The slowest mule is nearest to the whip."
And another. "He who digs a pit will one day lie in it." Or is Number Two above investigation?
You still have a choice. You can still salvage your right to be individuals. Your rights to truth and free thought. Reject this false world of Number Two. Reject it. Now!
[watching as Number Six paces his flat] What sort of opinion would you form of that fellow?
Anybody who spends his time doing that must be rather stupid.
You couldn't be more wrong. Because he's our most interesting citizen from every point of view... particularly yours.
You're still as pompous as ever... Danvers.
Where did you get my name?
Jonathan Peregrine Danvers. Born in Bootle. Took elocution lessons. Came to London, joined the civil service in 1948 as a junior clerk, but moved to this department sometime later. Mainly at the request of the typing pool. Am I going to see Sir Charles? Well? Or would you prefer me to go on. I'm sure these gentlemen would be most intrigued to hear of your little jaunt to Paris in March 1958. Let me see now, what was her name...
If you really are who you say you are, you would not have expected me to keep it, would you?
No. It's a hopeless situation.
If I had kept it, I would have been very stupid. Silly.
You've made your point. I accept it.
But you overlooked one thing. Sentimental people are sometimes stupid. Very stupid.
I will do it... on certain conditions.
I'm sure they will be reasonable.
For once, I am dictating.
Heil.
