The President tells Sir
during the trials of ‘Fall Out.’ Why, what has changed all of a sudden? Sir may
have survived the ultimate test, he may have vindicated the right of the individual
to be individual. Overcome coercion, held fast, maintained, fought, destroyed
and resisted, but what has changed? They still have no idea of why the Prisoner
resigned in the first place, a secret which they were so desperate to learn.
The Prisoner still has secret information inside his head, and what's more the
Prisoner, or Sir as he became known, now knows all about the village! It seems
most improbable that 'they' would allow Sir to leave the village, not with the knowledge
of the village inside his head. Surely they must recall his intention once he
had escaped "I'm going to escape and come back. Come back, wipe this place
off the face of the earth, obliterate it and No.2 with it." No, ‘Fall Out’
is the ultimate manipulation of the Prisoner, and you can see this in the way
the Prisoner, even after having been given the title of Sir, that he's edgy,
untrusting of the proceedings. No, they could never allow No.6 to go free, and
the proof is in that vacant and un-numbered 'Orbit Tube' in the rocket.
Be seeing you
