It was a cruel psychology on the part of
Number 2, perhaps one of the most cruel acts of all, that comes at the end of ‘The
Schizoid Man.’ Number 6 is masquerading as Curtis in a spontaneous and daring
escape plan. Number 2 asks Number 6 not to forget to give his regards to Susan,
to which Number 6 replies “I won’t, goodbye.” But he’s forgotten the security
regulations which must be obeyed. Now in the helicopter Number 6 ties the blindfold
Number 2 gave him. The helicopter takes off, Number 6 must think that this is
it, he’s finally about to escape The Village. Unbeknown to Number 6, the
helicopter circles The Village before landing again.
The cabin door of the helicopter is
opened, and Number 6 is helped out of the helicopter. The blindfold is removed,
and Number 6 is faced with a smug looking Number 2!
“Susan died a year ago Number Six!”
He knew all the time, and yet allowed
Number 6 to think he’d got away with it. In that, he let Number 6 to be taken
for a ride! That was cruel of Number 2, and because of that he maybe considered
to be one of the cruellest of them all!
Be seeing you
