"Has it ever occurred to you that you're just as much a prisoner as I am?"
"Ah my dear chap of course, I know too much, we're both lifers."
{Number 2 and Number 6 -The Chimes of Big Ben}
It cannot be that Number 2 is like Number 6, a prisoner in The Village, because he is able to leave. You will recall how he was brought back to The Village in 'Once Upon A Time,' and how he wasn't at all happy about the situation. Being a "lifer" doesn't mean being a physical prisoner in The Village. But being a member of The Village whether in The Village or not. Cobb I expect he's a lifer, even though he was leaving The Village. The Colonel, Fotheringay, and possibly Nadia, might not they be former Prisoners of The Village, just as Number 2 {who resisted for so short a time} had once been, and like him are lifers because they work for The Village. So it is imaginable that the evacuation of The Village would have a wide and far reaching effect on more people than simply those citizens who were evacuated in 'Fall Out.'
Be seeing you
