The Prisoner (2009): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode 6: Checkmate - full transcript
The Village is expanding since there are more and more newcomers arriving. Unlike Six, these newcomers believe they are arriving from The Village as opposed to from another world. Six begins to feel increasing pain, and learns tha...
(accordion music playing)
What do you
think, kids?
Isn't it
beautiful?
where do you think
the clinic is?
That's where
two be.
Who are
you people?
Newcomers.
So, where have
you come from?
We just got
off the bus.
But where did you
get on the bus?
Well, the village.
No, this is the village--
you've arrived here.
Well, isn't that just
the wildest thing?
Ah, sir, your
car is waiting.
mr. curtis is expecting
you in 44 minutes.
Your car is
right outside.
In 43 minutes.
They're building houses,
busing people in--
That has to
mean something.
(313)
yeah, more village.
Be still, please.
what is
this anyway?
Your name came up
on the test list.
The village is
all that there is
and now, there
are newcomers.
How can they say
that's possible?
You're right.
I say as though it was
something ordinary.
We all say,
"more village."
(groaning softly)
(nervously)
oh, uh...
What is it?
(muffled applause)
(two)
aren't they
splendid?
Isn't this just
the most wonderful thing?
They're buildings,
houses.
Eleven-twelve, you could not
be more profoundly wrong.
More village, means
that our way of life
Is becoming the very
consciousness of the universe.
I exaggerate, of course,
but only slightly.
Oh, indulge me.
Take it all in.
(inhaling)
This moment will
be handed down
Through generations
of our family.
(chuckling)
There will be generations
of our family,
Won't there,
11-12?
Yes.
i suppose.
(laughing)
Oh, dear, oh, dear,
11-12 you're so...
Earnest.
Take a tip from
your old man--
Unbutton yourself,
enjoy life.
Dance the night away
with some darling girl.
(laughing)
(six)
what is this?
Is it perhaps your
certificate of dying?
Why now?
You coulda killed
me a thousand times.
I've tried every way i know
to help you to belong,
But still,
you refuse.
You choose this
life or no life.
Assimilate or die?
(two)
that is the great
gift of village death.
Clarity of choice.
Oh two, it's you.
Two in person.
I-i would ask for
your autograph
But i don't
have a pen.
(giggling)
There are people
here, six.
Good people.
Newcomers.
Look at them.
Hi!
They choose life.
But you--
I'll find a way
out before i die.
(coughing)
Oh, six.
Let me give the
very secret of life.
Breath in...
(coughing)
Breath out.
More... village.
I say, once you die, one
breath at a time, six.
One...
Tick of the
clock at a time.
Tk, tk.
Tk, tk.
Tk, tk.
(woman)
i said, "don't
look at me."
(two)
pity about
poor ol' six.
how does that make
you feel, 313?
be honest.
If you can't confide in two,
who can you confide in?
I wish you'd--
Would help him.
There's something inside six
that refuses to be unlocked.
And perhaps the prospect
of death will unlock him.
death unlocks
us all.
and still, he clings
to his abstinence.
Freedom.
Such touching faiths--
one envies him, almost.
but you and i
know better.
(woman, crying)
i'm sorry.
We have measured the
cost, wouldn't you say?
(woman)
don't look.
or am i right
at the mark?
(whispering)
no.
Don't let her
rule you.
(woman)
shut up...
Block her
out of you.
lock her out.
it's hard.
(woman)
put it on your head.
The things she
showed me.
the other--
the other place?
It's in my head
now, though.
I can't just
rub it out.
Can't or won't?
(woman)
shut up!
shut up!
self-control is all
that is required...
For six's sake.
Still come here?
What do you want
from me, six?
To kill someone you love
because you love them.
the village does
that to you.
Don't you have to wonder
what kinda place it is?
(chuckling)
(coughing)
I know you don't
want to yet...
The time
is coming...
When you wanna
tell me...
To give me the
information
To get us all
outta here...
To get you
outta here.
(coughing)
Does your mother
care for you, six?
Mine does.
I believe
she does.
Only a mother can destroy
every ounce of hope in ya.
(chuckling)
(horns honking)
(coughing)
(bells tolling)
(clocks ticking quickly)
So, what are
you gonna do?
You just gonna let
them do this you?
Listen to me.
I met someone who might
be able to help you.
Now this guy--
this guy is deep.
This guy's
got cures.
Hey!
One-four-seven.
I make it, ah, 10 till,
which gives us 24 minutes
To get across to mr. curtis
and we don't wanna be late.
People usually like to
be early for mr. curtis.
(horns blaring)
Hey, you
like to ride?
hmm.
'cause i like
to ride.
Man, time was, i was so crazy
i thought every single car
On the street
was out to get me
And i just had
to get 'em first.
And i just wanted
to hurt somebody.
and now?
now?
Now, i'm a baby.
Now i'm seeing the world
through fresh eyes.
It's like my brain
has had a wash.
Like, ah, a spring clean
of the frontal lobe.
You know
what i mean?
(speaking foreign language)
What is this?
Something's coming.
Do you feel it?
And all we have
to do is wait.
(six)
no, can't you
see that's crazy?
Waiting is
giving up.
They keep us here to
control our minds up there.
You were there now driving
a car, right now, driving me.
Man!
I mean, look at this--
it's my little girl.
i mean, this is
an old one but, uh,
ain't she
something?
huh?
And mr. curtis has had
a word with the judge
and he says if i keep
making progress,
They gonna let
me see her again.
Mr. curtis ain't
nothing but a kind man.
he's a great man.
No, that's the most insanest
thing i've ever heard.
We gotta get ourselves
outta here-- come on!
Right now,
you're dying
And everyone knows dead
men don't have no hope.
What does this great
man want with me?
(laughing)
I'm just
a driver, man.
I don't know
his plans.
but i will
tell you this--
he will have some
kind of plan for ya.
(many voices speaking)
I'll be
seeing you.
Been celebrating, 11-12?
I'm not 11-12.
I'm only two's son.
That's all i'll
ever be to anybody.
Three-one-three told
me about the pills.
is your
mother dying?
I thought
one day...
Maybe one day,
she would come back.
One day.
Come with us.
Leave.
Leave your father,
leave all of this.
the village
is best for me.
I live here.
This place is
all i've got.
Besides, i got
stuff to do,
Only i'm not nearly
drunk enough, yet.
I'd like to get on
with finishing the job.
(coughing)
(woman, softly)
i think-think that's
for me everyone.
i live here-- this
place is all i've got.
All i've got.
I-i...
because
i live here...
this place,
it's...
it's all
i've got.
I don't think so.
Hi, how are you?
Dear, look,
it's michael...
From summakor.
my wife, helen.
Helen is
biochemist.
She studies the mind,
the depths of the mind.
We all commonly
accept the existence
Of the unconscious.
helen surmised that if
there are two layers
of consciousness,
then why not more?
And if there are more, where
are they and what are they?
What if we
could go there?
And what if we could take with
us all these broken people?
and let them
fix themselves.
Nothing too clever-- just
the simple virtues in life--
Dignitive labor,
civic pride, family,
Sufficient to rekindle
their lost purpose
back on terra firma.
Your driver...
He was one of
these people.
Well, yes-- there are
hundreds more like him.
(laughing)
michael, you
found them.
Your work
in summakor.
Spying on people.
No.
Protecting them.
Repairing them.
we all need that.
Helen was the first person
ever in the village.
All those
remarkable dreams.
Everything thought, every
impulse within the village
resides here
in her mind.
No children of our own,
her great heartbreak.
And we thought, we wondered,
if it were possible
If we went there, that
we could have a family.
(grunting)
What goes in
that head?
Of course, this
was not the plan.
Soon...
(crying)
Not long now.
(whispering)
he's here.
(crying)
(crying)
(two)
look at the clock
of the time.
small...
Or large?
Oh, i shall
miss you.
Rest assured you
will not go quietly.
Horse drawn carriage,
and the village choir
Serenading you to your
final resting place.
No excuse for dry eyes,
i'll see to that.
And preferred hymns?
* when your heart
begins to fail *
* and your
enemies avail *
* take you're burden
to the lord *
* and leave there
Mmm?
(weakly)
i will die at
the right time?
Yes, of course,
you will.
(coughing)
oh, it hurts,
doesn't it?
But once the lid closes
on that fine glass coffin,
The dance ends.
There be no
escape, six.
Not for you.
(softly)
eleven-twelve.
Eleven-twelve!
Eleven-twelve!
(crying)
(313 humming)
* leave it there
leave it there *
* leave it there
(woman)
don't look at me!
shut up!
* leave it there
leave it there *
(softly)
go.
* leave it there
leave it!
* take your burdens
to the lord *
* and leave
it there *
To lose a child-- there
is nothing else like that.
Sir, if i'm
allowed to say...
I'm sorry
about 11-12.
yes, you are allowed because
you know how it feels.
Can i ask you--
is what you feel evil?
I want it to stop--
i want it all to stop.
The madness of
this world to stop.
Most days...
I don't know
why i live.
i don't know
why i breathe.
I go on, i drive,
i wait and i wait
For this black pit
feeling in my guts
To go away,
but it don't.
No, it grows, sir.
that's what.
What if...
What we feel, what's
happened to us,
Is for a purpose?
My son's death--
I can only bear it if
it gives me clarity.
I had a dream
last night--
A-a dream?
I dreamed clarity.
All of it.
Suppose your
child's death
Gives you a place
in village history--
gave you, 147, the
moral courage to act
When moment comes.
To think what is unthinkable
to do-- what can be done.
You like six,
don't you?
Trust him?
yes, he's someone who can
give us better village,
Moral village, freedom
within the prison,
And when the moment comes,
you will stand beside six
And you will call out
that "six is the one."
"the one?"
"the one."
(two)
look, over there.
dark suit,
gray hair, you see?
Sure.
well, that man,
the things he's seen.
He was an army
veteran, stationed out
of the middle east,
who blew up
a village school.
now look at him.
New wife,
new life, new suit.
what a
difference.
See that woman?
She was ruined by one
street drug after another--
Look at her now.
Let me tell you,
that woman--
I see.
I'm wasting
my breath.
Nobody signed
up for this.
None of these people
asked to be fixed.
You mean, we should
seek their permission?
I'm human.
I have a
thousand flaws.
I break down, i get
up, i don't get up.
i get lost.
I make the same
mistakes over and over.
I have scars
and wounds.
Sometimes when i can't bear
them anymore, i-i drink.
You can't fix me.
You can't
any of us.
You can't make
us perfect.
But i'm not like
them, am i?
You were keeping
me quiet,
Because nobody
resigns from summakor.
not on your
watch, huh?
Am i right?
You just listen
to yourself.
Your integrity,
your vision.
We threw at you
everything we had--
Love, loathing,
death itself,
and still
you resist.
Well, now i see you are
not the problem, michael.
you're a challenge,
but an asset,
An opportunity to
take us forward.
Oh, yes--
we're here.
Michael, come
back to us, mmm?
(gasping)
You want him
to live?
(313)
yes.
At any cost?
I want him
to live.
I can give
you that.
(gasping,
coughing weakly)
(two)
that's why i wanted you to
watch him here-- to see him.
You must answer a
question honestly.
My son...
Am i the reason?
Yes.
Thank you.
There's something
thrilling about honesty,
Don't you think?
To face yourself.
The inside two.
Six was right,
i'll admit it.
Death was not enough to crack
six open, but he was wrong.
Village death was
not my last throw.
i have the perfect means
of assimilation for him.
I know six better
than six knows six.
He's in love with
his own humanity.
He adores the
sweet smell
Of his own bright
shining conscience.
noble six.
He only wants to
do the right thing.
And that is what
will give him to me.
That...
And you.
(soft boom)
Me?
You want
six to live...
Then i can give you
your part in his fate.
When the moment comes,
you will know,
And you will choose to
give yourself to six.
Is that what
you want?
Yes.
It's what
i want.
(soft boom)
Your time's
almost at an end.
If that is what
you choose.
(weakly)
let me out
of here.
(two)
i see no
locked doors.
The village is
in all of us, six.
i know you-- you want
the village in you.
No...
I'm a free man.
More than anyone here,
you love the village.
No, i have
to escape.
Every breath,
every thought,
I have is
to get away.
(snarling)
(gasping)
Then why do you
conjure up this?
(clock ticking)
to keep you in.
No...
It's not true.
I couldn't.
Look, six.
Look up!
look!
look at your fear--
see what you create with it.
I w-won't
believe you.
I won't believe--
i will not do it!
Don't--
let me go!
I have no power
over you.
I never did have--
you know that, six.
If you truly
want to go,
you must find
the open door,
Rather than the beast
that keeps you here.
So which is
to be, six?
the door or
the beast?
which does six
choose to see?
* leave it there
* oh leave there
* take your burden to
the lord and leave it there *
* if you trust
and never doubt *
* he will surely
bring you out *
* take your burden to
the lord and leave it there *
(six)
they have
to get out.
there are holes
everywhere.
You have to
let them out.
this isn't
about escape.
Oh?
It's about
survival.
How you
feeling, six?
the fever's gone.
* leave it there
* leave it there
* take your burden
to the lord *
* and leave it there
* if you trust
and never doubt *
* he will surely
bring you out *
(rumbling)
* take your burden to
the lord and leave it there *
Eleven-twelve chose--
He chose to
kill himself,
Because he felt he
was a prisoner here...
And so he was.
Six here-- he's told you
the truth a thousand times.
you are all
prisoners!
(rumbling)
(313)
don't look at me.
shut up!
shut up!
shut-shut-shut--
What is this?
(313)
shut up!
Everything
has a price.
The price of free
will, michael.
I said, "don't
look at me!"
don't look
at me .
What is
she doing?
One never quite
knows with sarah.
(whispering)
knock-knock.
Knock-knock.
Must be a dozen tales
like her in every parish.
It's the experience
of trauma as a child.
How terrible,
so unspeakable.
"put it on
your head."
(crying)
noooo!
(two)
she's quite
out of reach.
nobody can
help her.
shut up,
shut up!
shut up!
(crying)
(two)
i tried so hard with sarah,
and for a time, she prospered,
but lately, she's begun
to resist the village
And this is what
she's condemned to.
this prison.
(147)
how do stop them?
how do we
shut the holes?
you have to help.
(two)
how do we close the
holes-- i wish i knew.
But i-i can do
nothing, and soon,
We will face
the same abyss.
I can hear her.
It's how life begins--
crying out.
I can see her.
Blindly groping
through the dark.
Sh...
If only there were
some way back...
But we can do,
my friends,
Is breathe in,
breathe out...
More... village.
Breathe in with
me, breathe out.
Come on.
More... village.
I hate you!
(all gasping)
(two)
breathe out.
more... village.
There must be
something--
You can do.
(two)
not now,
not anymore.
Sarah.
I said, "don't
look at me."
Unless--
Ask him!
Six is the one.
Six.
six is the one.
We want six.
Six is the one.
We want six.
One word
from you--
help me.
Help me fix these
people, michael.
you are the one.
(all)
six is the one.
we want six.
six is the one--
we want six.
six is the one--
we want six.
Six is the one we've
been waiting for.
Six will save
us all.
six will save
all of us.
What are you doing?
In your left-hand
pocket.
(all)
six is the one--
we want six.
(two)
there's only one way
to close the holes.
We must find
a dreamer.
Pity six,
poor little six.
One word.
No.
Please.
let me.
I want to.
i know what
i'm doing.
For you.
For all this.
Till you find
a better way.
Go on.
Sarah.
Three-one-three.
Too late.
(two)
two little pills,
The yellow one for you
and another for me.
Time to wake
up now.
Six, i give
you the village.
(six)
it's called
"new york."
(two)
the manufactured--
who are you?
how do
i get in?
(147)
if i open my mind--
(six)
something's
wrong here.
I keep trying to
prove i'm right.
(man)
i think we
found something.
It's the village.
I think it would
help me to tell you.
it got away.
they're meddling
with my mind.
(man)
ordinary people--
(six)
"be seeing you."
nothing's real--
what-- you think
i'm insane?
what is
this place?
I am not a number.
I'm a free man!
i want to get
back to new york.
i need you to help me
in some other life.
(two)
helen!
helen!
Helen?
Home.
home.
At last.
You look--
You flatterer.
(chuckling)
Been making
wraps.
See, some things
never change.
Oh, come here.
curtis--
shh...
Don't look back.
(many voices speaking)
(beach boys's
"i know there's an answer")
* i know so
many people *
* who think can
do it alone *
* they isolate
their heads *
* and stay in
their safety zone *
There are people
here, good people.
Whatever
they've lost.
Funny, isn't it?
It took me all this time
to see how beautiful it is.
What if-- oh!
It has to be possible to
do this the right way.
Yeah, make a
good village.
I think i
could do it.
I think we
have to try.
Whatever
the cost.
* now how can
i come on *
* and tell them the
way that they live *
* could be better
* i know there's
an answer *
* i know now but i have
to find it by myself *

What do you
think, kids?
Isn't it
beautiful?
where do you think
the clinic is?
That's where
two be.
Who are
you people?
Newcomers.
So, where have
you come from?
We just got
off the bus.
But where did you
get on the bus?
Well, the village.
No, this is the village--
you've arrived here.
Well, isn't that just
the wildest thing?
Ah, sir, your
car is waiting.
mr. curtis is expecting
you in 44 minutes.
Your car is
right outside.
In 43 minutes.
They're building houses,
busing people in--
That has to
mean something.
(313)
yeah, more village.
Be still, please.
what is
this anyway?
Your name came up
on the test list.
The village is
all that there is
and now, there
are newcomers.
How can they say
that's possible?
You're right.
I say as though it was
something ordinary.

Look at them.
Hi!

i said, "don't
look at me."
(two)
pity about
poor ol' six.
how does that make
you feel, 313?
be honest.
If you can't confide in two,
who can you confide in?
I wish you'd--
Would help him.
There's something inside six
that refuses to be unlocked.
And perhaps the prospect
of death will unlock him.
death unlocks
us all.
and still, he clings

(whispering)
no.
Don't let her
rule you.
(woman)
shut up...
Block her
out of you.
lock her out.
it's hard.
(woman)
put it on your head.
The things she
showed me.
the other--
the other place?
It's in my head
now, though.
I can't just
rub it out.
Can't or won't?
(woman)
shut up!
shut up!
self-control is all
that is required...
For six's sake.
Still come here?
What do you want
from me, six?
To kill someone you love
because you love them.
the village does
that to you.
Don't you have to wonder
what kinda place it is?
(chuckling)
(coughing)
I know you don't
want to yet...
The time
is coming...
When you wanna
tell me...
To give me the
information
To get us all
outta here...
To get you
outta here.
(coughing)
Does your mother
care for you, six?
Mine does.
I believe
she does.
Only a mother can destroy
every ounce of hope in ya.
(chuckling)
(horns honking)
(coughing)
(bells tolling)
(clocks ticking quickly)
So, what are
you gonna do?
You just gonna let
them do this you?
Listen to me.
I met someone who might
be able to help you.
Now this guy--
this guy is deep.
This guy's
got cures.
Hey!
One-four-seven.
I make it, ah, 10 till,
which gives us 24 minutes
To get across to mr. curtis
and we don't wanna be late.
People usually like to
be early for mr. curtis.
(horns blaring)
Hey, you
like to ride?
hmm.
'cause i like
to ride.
Man, time was, i was so crazy
i thought every single car
On the street
was out to get me
And i just had
to get 'em first.
And i just wanted
to hurt somebody.
and now?
now?
Now, i'm a baby.
Now i'm seeing the world
through fresh eyes.
It's like my brain
has had a wash.
Like, ah, a spring clean
of the frontal lobe.
You know
what i mean?
(speaking foreign language)
What is this?
Something's coming.
Do you feel it?
And all we have
to do is wait.
(six)
no, can't you
see that's crazy?
Waiting is
giving up.
They keep us here to
control our minds up there.
You were there now driving
a car, right now, driving me.
Man!
I mean, look at this--
it's my little girl.
i mean, this is
an old one but, uh,
ain't she
something?
huh?
And mr. curtis has had
a word with the judge
and he says if i keep
making progress,
They gonna let
me see her again.
Mr. curtis ain't
nothing but a kind man.
he's a great man.
No, that's the most insanest
thing i've ever heard.
We gotta get ourselves
outta here-- come on!
Right now,
you're dying
And everyone knows dead
men don't have no hope.
What does this great
man want with me?
(laughing)
I'm just
a driver, man.
I don't know
his plans.
but i will
tell you this--
he will have some
kind of plan for ya.
(many voices speaking)
I'll be
seeing you.
Been celebrating, 11-12?
I'm not 11-12.
I'm only two's son.
That's all i'll
ever be to anybody.
Three-one-three told
me about the pills.
is your
mother dying?
I thought
one day...
Maybe one day,
she would come back.
One day.
Come with us.
Leave.
Leave your father,
leave all of this.
the village
is best for me.
I live here.
This place is
all i've got.
Besides, i got
stuff to do,
Only i'm not nearly
drunk enough, yet.
I'd like to get on
with finishing the job.
(coughing)
(woman, softly)
i think-think that's
for me everyone.
i live here-- this
place is all i've got.
All i've got.
I-i...
because
i live here...
this place,
it's...
it's all
i've got.
I don't think so.
Hi, how are you?
Dear, look,
it's michael...
From summakor.
my wife, helen.
Helen is
biochemist.
She studies the mind,
the depths of the mind.
We all commonly
accept the existence
Of the unconscious.
helen surmised that if
there are two layers
of consciousness,
then why not more?
And if there are more, where
are they and what are they?
What if we
could go there?
And what if we could take with
us all these broken people?
and let them
fix themselves.
Nothing too clever-- just
the simple virtues in life--
Dignitive labor,
civic pride, family,
Sufficient to rekindle
their lost purpose
back on terra firma.
Your driver...
He was one of
these people.
Well, yes-- there are
hundreds more like him.
(laughing)
michael, you
found them.
Your work
in summakor.
Spying on people.
No.
Protecting them.
Repairing them.
we all need that.
Helen was the first person
ever in the village.
All those
remarkable dreams.
Everything thought, every
impulse within the village
resides here
in her mind.
No children of our own,
her great heartbreak.
And we thought, we wondered,
if it were possible
If we went there, that
we could have a family.
(grunting)
What goes in
that head?
Of course, this
was not the plan.
Soon...
(crying)
Not long now.
(whispering)
he's here.
(crying)
(crying)
(two)
look at the clock
of the time.
small...
Or large?
Oh, i shall
miss you.
Rest assured you
will not go quietly.
Horse drawn carriage,
and the village choir
Serenading you to your
final resting place.
No excuse for dry eyes,
i'll see to that.
And preferred hymns?
* when your heart
begins to fail *
* and your
enemies avail *
* take you're burden
to the lord *
* and leave there
Mmm?
(weakly)
i will die at
the right time?
Yes, of course,
you will.
(coughing)
oh, it hurts,
doesn't it?
But once the lid closes
on that fine glass coffin,
The dance ends.
There be no
escape, six.
Not for you.
(softly)
eleven-twelve.
Eleven-twelve!
Eleven-twelve!
(crying)
(313 humming)
* leave it there
leave it there *
* leave it there
(woman)
don't look at me!
shut up!
* leave it there
leave it there *
(softly)
go.
* leave it there
leave it!
* take your burdens
to the lord *
* and leave
it there *
To lose a child-- there
is nothing else like that.
Sir, if i'm
allowed to say...
I'm sorry
about 11-12.
yes, you are allowed because
you know how it feels.
Can i ask you--
is what you feel evil?
I want it to stop--
i want it all to stop.
The madness of
this world to stop.
Most days...
I don't know
why i live.
i don't know
why i breathe.
I go on, i drive,
i wait and i wait
For this black pit
feeling in my guts
To go away,
but it don't.
No, it grows, sir.
that's what.
What if...
What we feel, what's
happened to us,
Is for a purpose?
My son's death--
I can only bear it if
it gives me clarity.
I had a dream
last night--
A-a dream?
I dreamed clarity.
All of it.
Suppose your
child's death
Gives you a place
in village history--
gave you, 147, the
moral courage to act
When moment comes.
To think what is unthinkable
to do-- what can be done.
You like six,
don't you?
Trust him?
yes, he's someone who can
give us better village,
Moral village, freedom
within the prison,
And when the moment comes,
you will stand beside six
And you will call out
that "six is the one."
"the one?"
"the one."
(two)
look, over there.
dark suit,
gray hair, you see?
Sure.
well, that man,
the things he's seen.
He was an army
veteran, stationed out
of the middle east,
who blew up
a village school.
now look at him.
New wife,
new life, new suit.
what a
difference.
See that woman?
She was ruined by one
street drug after another--
Look at her now.
Let me tell you,
that woman--
I see.
I'm wasting
my breath.
Nobody signed
up for this.
None of these people
asked to be fixed.
You mean, we should
seek their permission?
I'm human.
I have a
thousand flaws.
I break down, i get
up, i don't get up.
i get lost.
I make the same
mistakes over and over.
I have scars
and wounds.
Sometimes when i can't bear
them anymore, i-i drink.
You can't fix me.
You can't
any of us.
You can't make
us perfect.
But i'm not like
them, am i?
You were keeping
me quiet,
Because nobody
resigns from summakor.
not on your
watch, huh?
Am i right?
You just listen
to yourself.
Your integrity,
your vision.
We threw at you
everything we had--
Love, loathing,
death itself,
and still
you resist.
Well, now i see you are
not the problem, michael.
you're a challenge,
but an asset,
An opportunity to
take us forward.
Oh, yes--
we're here.
Michael, come
back to us, mmm?
(gasping)
You want him
to live?
(313)
yes.
At any cost?
I want him
to live.
I can give
you that.
(gasping,
coughing weakly)
(two)
that's why i wanted you to
watch him here-- to see him.
You must answer a
question honestly.
My son...
Am i the reason?
Yes.
Thank you.
There's something
thrilling about honesty,
Don't you think?
To face yourself.
The inside two.
Six was right,
i'll admit it.
Death was not enough to crack
six open, but he was wrong.
Village death was
not my last throw.
i have the perfect means
of assimilation for him.
I know six better
than six knows six.
He's in love with
his own humanity.
He adores the
sweet smell
Of his own bright
shining conscience.
noble six.
He only wants to
do the right thing.
And that is what
will give him to me.
That...
And you.
(soft boom)
Me?
You want
six to live...
Then i can give you
your part in his fate.
When the moment comes,
you will know,
And you will choose to
give yourself to six.
Is that what
you want?
Yes.
It's what
i want.
(soft boom)
Your time's
almost at an end.
If that is what
you choose.
(weakly)
let me out
of here.
(two)
i see no
locked doors.
The village is
in all of us, six.
i know you-- you want
the village in you.
No...
I'm a free man.
More than anyone here,
you love the village.
No, i have
to escape.
Every breath,
every thought,
I have is
to get away.
(snarling)
(gasping)
Then why do you
conjure up this?
(clock ticking)
to keep you in.
No...
It's not true.
I couldn't.
Look, six.
Look up!
look!
look at your fear--
see what you create with it.
I w-won't
believe you.
I won't believe--
i will not do it!
Don't--
let me go!
I have no power
over you.
I never did have--
you know that, six.
If you truly
want to go,
you must find
the open door,
Rather than the beast
that keeps you here.
So which is
to be, six?
the door or
the beast?
which does six
choose to see?
* leave it there
* oh leave there
* take your burden to
the lord and leave it there *
* if you trust
and never doubt *
* he will surely
bring you out *
* take your burden to
the lord and leave it there *
(six)
they have
to get out.
there are holes
everywhere.
You have to
let them out.
this isn't
about escape.
Oh?
It's about
survival.
How you
feeling, six?
the fever's gone.
* leave it there
* leave it there
* take your burden
to the lord *
* and leave it there
* if you trust
and never doubt *
* he will surely
bring you out *
(rumbling)
* take your burden to
the lord and leave it there *
Eleven-twelve chose--
He chose to
kill himself,
Because he felt he
was a prisoner here...
And so he was.
Six here-- he's told you
the truth a thousand times.
you are all
prisoners!
(rumbling)
(313)
don't look at me.
shut up!
shut up!
shut-shut-shut--
What is this?
(313)
shut up!
Everything
has a price.
The price of free
will, michael.
I said, "don't
look at me!"
don't look
at me .
What is
she doing?
One never quite
knows with sarah.
(whispering)
knock-knock.
Knock-knock.
Must be a dozen tales
like her in every parish.
It's the experience
of trauma as a child.
How terrible,
so unspeakable.
"put it on
your head."
(crying)
noooo!
(two)
she's quite
out of reach.
nobody can
help her.
shut up,
shut up!
shut up!
(crying)
(two)
i tried so hard with sarah,
and for a time, she prospered,
but lately, she's begun
to resist the village
And this is what
she's condemned to.
this prison.
(147)
how do stop them?
how do we
shut the holes?
you have to help.
(two)
how do we close the
holes-- i wish i knew.
But i-i can do
nothing, and soon,
We will face
the same abyss.
I can hear her.
It's how life begins--
crying out.
I can see her.
Blindly groping
through the dark.
Sh...
If only there were
some way back...
But we can do,
my friends,
Is breathe in,
breathe out...
More... village.
Breathe in with
me, breathe out.
Come on.
More... village.
I hate you!
(all gasping)
(two)
breathe out.
more... village.
There must be
something--
You can do.
(two)
not now,
not anymore.
Sarah.
I said, "don't
look at me."
Unless--
Ask him!
Six is the one.
Six.
six is the one.
We want six.
Six is the one.
We want six.
One word
from you--
help me.
Help me fix these
people, michael.
you are the one.
(all)
six is the one.
we want six.
six is the one--
we want six.
six is the one--
we want six.
Six is the one we've
been waiting for.
Six will save
us all.
six will save
all of us.
What are you doing?
In your left-hand
pocket.
(all)
six is the one--
we want six.
(two)
there's only one way
to close the holes.
We must find
a dreamer.
Pity six,
poor little six.
One word.
No.
Please.
let me.
I want to.
i know what
i'm doing.
For you.
For all this.
Till you find
a better way.
Go on.
Sarah.
Three-one-three.
Too late.
(two)
two little pills,
The yellow one for you
and another for me.
Time to wake
up now.
Six, i give
you the village.
(six)
it's called
"new york."
(two)
the manufactured--
who are you?
how do
i get in?
(147)
if i open my mind--
(six)
something's
wrong here.
I keep trying to
prove i'm right.
(man)
i think we
found something.
It's the village.
I think it would
help me to tell you.
it got away.
they're meddling
with my mind.
(man)
ordinary people--
(six)
"be seeing you."
nothing's real--
what-- you think
i'm insane?
what is
this place?
I am not a number.
I'm a free man!
i want to get
back to new york.
i need you to help me
in some other life.
(two)
helen!
helen!
Helen?
Home.
home.
At last.
You look--
You flatterer.
(chuckling)
Been making
wraps.
See, some things
never change.
Oh, come here.
curtis--
shh...
Don't look back.
(many voices speaking)
(beach boys's
"i know there's an answer")
* i know so
many people *
* who think can
do it alone *
* they isolate
their heads *
* and stay in
their safety zone *
There are people
here, good people.
Whatever
they've lost.
Funny, isn't it?
It took me all this time
to see how beautiful it is.
What if-- oh!
It has to be possible to
do this the right way.
Yeah, make a
good village.
I think i
could do it.
I think we
have to try.
Whatever
the cost.
* now how can
i come on *
* and tell them the
way that they live *
* could be better
* i know there's
an answer *
* i know now but i have
to find it by myself *
