[edit] Synopsis
Number 6 discovers from Number 2 that a mysterious Carnival is to be held. He also discovers a dead man's body, and using it as a buoy, attempts to send out a message to sea. On that man's person is a radio -- Number 6 tries to reach a high point to listen to it, but the sounds make no sense. Upon learning that a former collegue has been broken and finding his body, the Carnival ends in a courtroom session with Number 6 on trial.
