You OK there?

Well, do I look OK to you?

What do they call you?

They call me 6.

Well, 6...

It's not wise to hang around here.

Well, I wouldn't want to be not wise, would I?

You could always walk.

This maytake some explaining.

Can I...?

Can I get another drink?

A man finds himself senseless in some back alley.

I'd say he has a problem with the drink or trouble with a lover.

My guess, it's the lover.

You have a knack I've noticed.

You talk a lot, and the more you talk, the less you say.

Is that something they teach you?

It's... nerves. You make me nervous.

We're here.

And we're staying, so you can talk all you want. But we don't leave until you tell me two things.

Who are you and what do you want?

Come on, why me?

That's three things.

Where is this place?

You've had an invitation.

Ah, thank you for coming, 6.

909 here.

He's an undercover. One of my best.

I thought you might have noticed that.

I want you to work with 909, 6.

You think I'd work for you?

Oh, no, no, not for me.

For them. For... the people you would be watching.

You pronounce so loudly your opposition to me,

your disbelief of everything we stand for.

They might trust you.

We already have our suspects.

And I know you want to make contact with... dreamers.

I offer you the apparatus and expertise...

of our highly trained and well-financed undercover operations to do just that.

Why would you give me all that...

if it wasn't a trap?

Oh, my dear 6... it is a trap.

You have such a high opinion of yourself.

I wondered if you would be clever enough to turn this opportunity to your own advantage.

Still...

Everything you say is a trap.

All right. Let's do it.

Undercovers work in cells.

Twos, threes, fours.

You and I are a cell.

First rule, you tell no-one about your cell.

We don't know the other cells, they don't know us.

That means everyone could be an undercover.

Every single person in the village.

So... someone could be investigating you right now.

Another undercover cell.

It's a possibility, yeah, I suppose.

There's our suspect.

His number's 1955.

And what makes him a suspect?

We had a report.

How do I find out if he's a dreamer?

Get close.

You have a position here.

Teacher.

You start today.

Be careful.

1955 might be an undercover himself.

He may be compiling a dossier on you.

Come on, come on.

Er, they're with me for history first session.

1634 has them for math after that.

Then it's sports. I don't... see the point myself, really.

And then they're with you for surveillance techniques all afternoon.

Doesn't it seem a bit odd, teaching surveillance to kids?

Why should it? It's your subject.

No reason.

And who can tell me which No.2 oversaw the Reformation?

Sir, it was 2, the 14th.

It was indeed.

And who can tell me the first woman No.2?

Put your hand down, 1100.

Sir... was it Lady No.2 the Great?

Who is No.1?

Ah.

The oldest question in Village history.

Go on, 1100, you tell him.

There is no No.1 . There never has been and there never will be.

The concept of the No.2 is an act of humility.

The title reminds us all that we are all public servants. Even No.2.

No-one is No.1.

Very, very good.

None of my friends have a relationship with their father like ours.

Well, that's good.

Isn't it?

I'm certainly glad of it.

Perfect.

It is as it is.

As it should be.

1955... can you keep a secret?

You're an oddity, 6.

I have these crazy thoughts.

What if there is some other place?

You know... outside the Village.

How mad is that?

I'm one of those lucky people who doesn't need distractions.

Ah, no wife, no... family.

I'm not interested in alcohol or gambling.

Sports, cigarettes - no.

No.

Everything... I need is right here.

Is everybody here living in fear?

Yes.

No, no, no, it doesn't...

It doesn't have to be like that. Good and bad, right and wrong, people here get on with it.

They have jobs.

They clean the streets, they...

They wait on tables.

They work in hospitals.

Look out for their neighbours. They're decent, ordinary people, they...

fall in love.

They have kids.

Normal lives.

What's wrong with that?

What if they speak out? Think differently?

What kind of lives do they have then?

They go for treatment.

What treatment?

I don't ask.

So that's what's wrong with your cosy, little... village life, 313, and you know it.

The old man.

554 - hell, she was killed right here.

They had dreams, they knew the truth.

No, no, look, I can't...

Well, there's got to be others and I'm going to find them.

Yeah, I have to stop seeing you, 6.

People who get close to you, they don't tend to live very long.

Why does he go swimming after work?

Answer: because he likes swimming.

We're looking at a man who doesn't want to go home.

And that makes him suspicious?

He knows he's being watched.

Everything is suspicious if you look at it properly.

Everyone has secrets.

No-one is without guilt.

We just have to work out what it is they're guilty of.

Why don't you arrest him and ask him if he's a dreamer?

Well, that would produce... nothing but confusion.

He would lie.

If I catch him out in his lying, then he tells new lies and then more new lies.

It's better to watch him.

Wait till his guilt emerges.

Who reported him?

One of his students. We don't know which one.

Reports come in anonymously for the safety and protection of the informant.

That's nice.

Joggers.

A good place to go looking for dreamers.

Usually one of the newcomers.

Someone a bit too eager.

Pushing themselves too hard.

Right at the front.

Running like they want to get away from something.

So tell me the kind of work you've been doing so far.

What have you got there, 66-16?

My mother... goes to yoga on Tuesdays.

She hasn't missed one in the last 23 weeks.

Then she missed one.

That's suspicious.

Maybe it's just she wasn't feeling well.

What do you have there, 1100?

My birthday presents.

Long-distance speech recording device.

- Uh-huh. - And...

a mobile person tracker.

Very nice.

Sir, have you worked with the latest roach cam technology?

Er, no, I have not.

You drill a hole, or plant this on a suspect.

On their clothes or in their skin.

So you can observe them 24/7.

Well, you certainly all have skills.

You're smart.

So here's your new task.

Find out who we're working for.

What do they want?

What are they up to?

What's their secret?

That'll be all tonight. Thank you.

The towel is probably a coded signal.

Well, he's just hanging it out to dry.

A signal to who?

The others.

What, like a group of them?

Organised?

They meet, plot?

Did one of the suspects tell you this?

No-one's admitted it.

Yet.

Once you're a suspect, you're guilty.

Hello, you.

Am I home?

You're in the Village.

So I am.

Good.

How long have I been sleeping?

Too long for my liking.

Mmm.

Well...

It seems like moments.

Oh, dear.

You haven't changed a bit.

That's what I was afraid of.

Why this day?

Can a man not converse with his wife now and then?

I just needed to...

know that it was still possible.

Are you hungry?

Like you wouldn't believe.

Ohh! Wraps!

We haven't much time.

I know that.

- Mmm. - Hmm?

Are you OK with heights?

There's a flask of coffee in my truck. Will you fetch it for me?

Hm.

Tell me about him.

Our boy. How is he?

Our boy grew up.

He's curious about everything.

Of course he is.

And?

6.

What is it?

Hm...

Drink up.

Any family, 909?

Family?

No.

I was never much good at relationships.

I guess undercovers don't like to get too close to people.

Something... too human about that, huh?

Knock, knock, who's there?

We have to get him to the hospital.

No!

6!

It kind of makes you wonder.

If he'd do that to himself...

maybe he is guilty.

You're catching up fast.

Is that how it works?

Is that how dreamers are caught?

That's the way I was shown.

You decide.

I got it.

You must be an undercover.

Someone with a roach cam.

There are so many undercovers. It could be anyone.

It could be you.

6.

He's different.

He's not like the other suspects. He has er...

Yes? Say it.

Conviction.

No harm must come to 6.

He must survive.

But he can suffer.

His work as an undercover must make him feel...

compromised, hmm?

Has 6 ever met up with my son?

11-12?

Why would he be meeting with 6?

Youth is susceptible to wild ideas.

Young blood craves rebellion as much as it craves sex.

11-12 spying on you?

No.

No. No, of course not.

Still, let's keep an eye on him. For his own protection.

Thank you.

♪ Heavy rock

Your father's watching you.

He knows you go out at night.

- You'll lose your guards. - Have I been followed?

He wants me to follow you.

It's a good thing it's you.

He suspects you might be meeting with 6.

Why would he think that?

I don't know.

How did we get to this place?

It's a good place, though, isn't it?

A safe place.

Safe?

Hey.

No-one's going to touch you.

It's good.

What?

This. I mean...

You choosing me.

I seem to recall it was you chose me.

When I asked for your phone, you already knew I'd been sent after you.

It's Summakor.

Everyone has a monitor.

- Perk of the job. - And you brought me here.

Well, you're free to go.

But if you stay, we talk.

You know I'll stay.

Let's not waste any more time.

I liked you. That wasn't a lie.

If that was all, then I wouldn't have had the courage to approach you.

So what did give you the courage?

Your reports. You asked questions.

You were different.

You said things that I was feeling about what's going on in Summakor.

You must know more than you realise. They wanted you stopped.

1955, what happened to you, we have to stop this from happening to other dreamers.

What?

"I'm a teacher."

No, you're not.

I'm the mistake.

Oh, yeah.

I have a friend. She's in danger.

I need to get her out, get her to safety.

Who are the dreamers? And how do I make contact?

Why did you do this to yourself?

We could have found a way out.

Why?

You're two and a half minutes late,

6.

I hear you've been doing...

outstanding work.

Everything and anything I might do is for one reason.

That's to work against you.

I have a new mission for you.

Shouldn't we wait for 909 to get here?

He wasn't invited.

909's my new mission.

909 has made himself suspect.

I've every faith in him as a conscientious undercover.

I know he's been spying on me.

Well, of course he is.

But you've known that before, surely.

It'd be a sorry state of affairs if he weren't.

Why has he become a suspect?

Well, something's changed.

909...

is different.

Don't tell me you haven't seen the fear in his eyes.

Fear's not guilt.

Yes, it is.

Fear is always guilt in disguise.

I thought you were a man who understood human behaviour.

909's fear must be investigated.

Analysed... thoroughly.

What is it I'd be looking for?

Well, you'll know when you find it.

Perhaps he's a dreamer.

Why should I do it?

Because you need to keep up, 6. Give yourself a chance.

He's watching you, now you watch him.

Do it, 6, because you want to.

Because you must.

- 313. You have to be careful. - What do you mean?

I mean, whatever you dream, don't draw anything, put it on paper, or talk to anyone.

Why are you doing this?

Cos I don't... want anything to happen to you.

So we found him. He was hurt.

Where did you get these?

They were sent to me anonymously.

That's you.

That's you on the roof of my building.

It's you.

Let me tell you why I did this.

I know why.

You're the undercover.

I let myself believe you.

I can't even bear to look at you.

We should stop for a while.

A few weeks, that's all.

I don't think your father suspects us but we should be careful.

My father suspects everyone.

Yeah.

But not us.

Not if we're careful.

Come here.

You sent those photographs to 313.

Why?

I...I didn't send any photographs.

313 is not my mission.

I want all surveillance taken off 313.

I want her left alone.

I can't give you that.

But you can.

I want 313 to be safe.

That's my price for keeping what I know to myself.

Hello.

I was sitting out in the garden...

a few days ago.

- I was being watched. - Watched?

Who would do such a thing?

909 is different. Something's happened to him.

My long-serving lieutenant has secrets these past weeks and months.

I'm going to have to dig those secrets out of him.

And then I will know what we're dealing with.

No, it's done.

Don't blame him.

Tell me the dreams are true.

They're true.

They're all true.

There are dreamers.

They meet.

I'm sure of it.

Find them.

909?

Don't drink any more. Please.

Tell me, why did you resign?

To drink beer.

Up on the purpose floor something is wrong.

That is why I came looking for you.

I thought it bothered you. I thought you wanted to know. And now you just want to drink beer.

Maybe I don't know what to think.

Or who to trust.

Maybe I'm just trying to hold on to my own mind here.

Maybe...

drinking beer is easier.

You wanted to know. You stopped. Why?

Because you're already there.

What do you mean I'm already there?

The people that you saw, the ones you said changed.

The same thing has happened to you.

I need you to help me.

Where have they taken 313?

What makes you think I would help you, 6?

Help me...

or I go to your father with what you did to 909.

Go to the clinic.

You'll never find her.

She'll have been sent down to the tunnels.

Tunnels?

What will they do to her?

You don't want to know.

How do I get in?

You don't.

Only people going for treatment ever get in.

Send me for treatment.

What?

Forget him.

Get someone...

your own age, hmm?

I could go to the other place.

Well, you've got this.

The Village. Oh, that's enough, isn't it?

Curtis. That's the name that I hear whispered all the time. Curtis.

We have to go in there now.

I...I...

No. I'm trying to help you here.

I'm not going back there. Why should I trust you?

- Becau... - Get out.

- We don't have time... - Get out of my apartment.

You know, if you um...

change your mind, you can call me, OK?

I would have liked 6 to be in the tunnels a while longer.

Thank you.

You did extremely well.

You wouldn't go against your parents like my son disobeyed me, would you... 1100?

No, sir.

Now... was this you?

No... no, don't turn away.

This hole is exactly at your head height.

It could have been one of the other kids.

But it was you, wasn't it?

We're going to have to send you for treatment, aren't we?
