In this episode, Number Six awakes to find The Village deserted. Momentarily abandoning his misgivings that the eerily quiet place gives him, he takes a number of pictures before assembling a raft and making his bid for freedom. After spending weeks at sea, he makes it back to London, where a Mrs. Butterworth now occupies his old apartment and drives his Lotus, license plate KAR120C. Mrs. Butterworth is intrigued by Number Six's plight, feeds him, and lends him clothes and her car so that he can make contact with his former employer. They are skeptical of his story, but ultimately allow him to demonstrate to them the location of the village. He leads a plane to the Village only to realize it was surreptitiously hijacked by a village confederate. Number Six is ejected from the plane and is greeted in the Village by Number Two, who happens to be Mrs. Butterworth.
[edit] Trivia
- The camera used by Number Six when taking photos of the deserted Village is a Canon Dial 35 half-frame format 35mm camera. The maker's name was masked out with black tape.
