History Recap / ThePrisonerE2TheChimesOfBigBen

-->'''Number Two:''' It doesn't matter which [[ColdWar "side"]] runs the Village.

When they arrive in the offices of the organisation that Number Six used to work for, Colonel J. (Kevin Stoney) aggressively interrogates him, apparently suspecting that his disappearance was a defection to the USSR and that he has been sent back as a mole. The chimes of Big Ben, which Number Six and Nadia had discussed in their flirtation, sound. Unfortunately, the time is the same as that on Number Six's watch, which he took from their contact in Poland where there should be an hour's time difference.

* IGaveMyWord: In order to free Nadia from the torture the Village was doing to her, Number Six offers a deal to Number Two: not to reveal his big secret or anything, but to accept Number Two's insistence that the Prisoner "settle in and get along" with the rest of the Village. Number Six demonstrates his promise by creating a work of art for the Village's contest, a massive {{sculpture|s}} that turns out to be a functioning boat used to escape. Number Six never said anything about stopping his attempts to break out.

* ProperlyParanoid: The reason Number Six insists on having a watch on him during the escape is because he's measuring out the amount of time the travel would take from Poland (the suggested location of the Village) to London where he expects to be debriefed by people he trusts. The Village [[GenreSavvy still takes that into consideration]], delaying the "rescue" long enough to fit Six's time-frame. They ''did'' forget that little thing about time zones...

* DeadpanSnarker: When Number Two says his ambition is to see the whole world as the village, he asks Six what his dream is. Six replies "I'd like to be the first man on the moon." [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Number Two gives an hearty laugh at this.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Number Two tries to talk Number Six into believing that they aren't that different, and that so are the two sides of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar. When the Colonel interrogates Number Six, Number Six seems to come close to believing this.
