00:00ARCHE!
00:24ARCHE!
00:26You okay there?
00:31What look okay to you?
00:34What do they call you?
00:36They call me Six.
00:38Well, Six.
00:41It's not wise to hang around here.
00:43Well, I wouldn't want to be not wise, would I?
00:51You could always walk.
00:56What?
01:07What?
01:09What?
01:11This may take some explaining.
01:34Can I...
01:35Can I get another drink?
01:41A man finds himself senseless in some back alley.
01:55I'd say he has a problem with a drink or trouble with a lover.
02:02I guess it's a lover.
02:04You have a knack, I've noticed.
02:12You talk a lot more, you talk the less you say.
02:16Is that something they teach you?
02:18It's... it's nervous.
02:19He make me... he make me nervous.
02:24We're here.
02:25And we're staying here so you can talk all you want,
02:27but we're not leaving until you tell me two things.
02:29Okay.
02:29Who are you and what do you want?
02:33Come on, why me?
02:35There's three things.
02:43Where is this place?
02:46You've had an invitation.
02:48Ah, thank you for coming, Six.
03:06909 here.
03:07He's an undercover, one of my best.
03:10I thought you might have noticed that.
03:12I want you to work with 909, Six.
03:15You think I'd work for you?
03:16No, no, no, no, not for me.
03:18For them, for the people you would be watching.
03:22You pronounce so loudly your opposition to me,
03:25your disbelief of everything we stand for.
03:29They might trust you.
03:31We already have our suspects.
03:33And I know you want to make contact with dreamers.
03:38I offer you the apparatus and expertise
03:40of our highly trained and well-financed undercover operations
03:44to do just that.
03:47Why would you give me all that
03:48if it wasn't a trap?
03:51Oh, my dear Six,
03:52it is a trap.
03:55You have such a high opinion of yourself.
03:57I wondered if you would be clever enough
04:01to turn this opportunity to your own advantage.
04:06Still.
04:08Everything you say is a trap.
04:12All right.
04:13Let's do it.
04:14Hello?
04:26Hello?
04:30Hello?
04:40Hello?
04:41Hello?
04:41Undercovers work in cells.
04:58Twos, threes, fours.
05:02You and I are a cell.
05:07First row, you tell no one about your cell.
05:09We don't know the other cells.
05:10They don't know us.
05:11That means everyone could be an undercover.
05:18Every single person in the village.
05:21So someone could be investigating you right now.
05:24Another undercover cell.
05:27It's a possibility, yeah, I suppose.
05:35There's our suspect.
05:37His number's 1955.
05:38And what makes him a suspect?
05:44We had a report.
05:47How do I find out if he's a dreamer?
05:49Get close.
05:52You have a position here.
05:53Teacher.
05:55You start today.
06:00Be careful.
06:011955 might be an undercover himself.
06:05He may be compiling a dossier on you.
06:09Come on, come on, come on.
06:10They're with me for history for a session.
06:141634 has them for math after that.
06:17Then it's sports.
06:18I don't see the point myself, really.
06:20And then they're with you for surveillance techniques all afternoon.
06:24Does that seem a bit odd, teaching surveillance to kids?
06:26Why should it?
06:29It's your subject.
06:32No reason.
06:37And who can tell me which number two oversaw the Reformation?
06:42Sir, it was two, the 14th.
06:44It was indeed.
06:45And who can tell me the first woman number two?
06:49Put your hand down, 1,100.
06:51Sir, was it lady number two, the great?
06:56Who's number one?
07:02The oldest question in village history.
07:06Go on, 1,100, you tell me.
07:09There is no number one.
07:10There never has been and there never will be.
07:13The concept of the number two is an act of humility.
07:17The title reminds us all that we are all public servants, even number two.
07:21No one is number one.
07:25Very, very good.
07:26Very, very good.
07:51One of my friends have a relationship with their father like ours.
07:54That's good.
07:57Isn't it?
08:00I'm certain, I love it.
08:03Perfect.
08:03It is as it is.
08:10As it should be.
08:15ID 55.
08:16Can you keep a secret?
08:19You're an oddity, Six.
08:21I have these crazy thoughts.
08:23What if there was some other place?
08:26You know, outside the village.
08:28How mad is that?
08:34I'm one of those lucky people who doesn't need distraction.
08:39No wife, no family.
08:42I'm not interested in alcohol or gambling.
08:45Sports, cigarettes, no.
08:48No.
08:49Everything I need is right here.
08:52Is everybody here living in fear?
09:07Yes.
09:09No, no, no.
09:09It doesn't...
09:10It doesn't have to be like that.
09:12Good and bad.
09:13Right and wrong.
09:14People here, they get on with it.
09:16They have jobs.
09:17They clean the streets.
09:19They...
09:19They wait on tables.
09:21They work in hospitals.
09:23They look out for their neighbors.
09:24They're decent, ordinary people.
09:26They've...
09:27They've fallen in love.
09:33They have kids.
09:37Normal lives.
09:40What's wrong with that?
09:42What if they speak out?
09:44Think differently.
09:44What kind of lives do they have then?
09:49They go for treatment.
09:50What treatment?
09:52I don't ask.
09:56So that's what's wrong with your cozy little village life, 313, and you know it.
10:02The old man, 554.
10:04Hell, she was killed right here.
10:06They had dreams.
10:06They knew the truth.
10:07No, no, look.
10:08I can't...
10:08Well, there's got to be others, and I'm going to find them.
10:11Yeah, I have to stop seeing you, Six.
10:12You know, people who get close to you, they don't tend to live very long.
10:25Question.
10:28Why does he go swimming after work?
10:31Answer.
10:32Because he likes swimming.
10:33We're looking at a man who doesn't want to go home.
10:38And that makes him suspicious.
10:41He knows he's being watched.
10:45Everything is suspicious if you look at it properly.
10:48Everyone has secrets.
10:51No one is without guilt.
10:55We just have to work out what it is they're guilty of.
10:57Why don't you arrest him and ask him if he's a dreamer?
11:04Well, that will produce nothing but confusion.
11:08He will lie.
11:09If I catch him out in his lying, then he tells new lies, and then more new lies.
11:16It's better to watch him.
11:18Wait till his guilt emerges.
11:20Who reported him?
11:30One of his students.
11:31We don't know which one.
11:34Reports come in anonymously for the safety and protection of the informant.
11:39That's nice.
11:43Joggers.
11:44Good place to go looking for dreamers.
11:48Usually one of the newcomers.
11:51Someone a bit too eager.
11:53Pushing themselves too hard.
11:55Right at the front.
11:57Running like they want to get away from something.
12:14So tell me the kind of work you've been doing so far.
12:32What do you got there, 66-16?
12:34My mother goes to yoga on Tuesdays.
12:37She hasn't missed one in the last 23 weeks.
12:39Then she missed one.
12:41That's suspicious.
12:42Maybe it's just she wasn't feeling well.
12:48What do you have there, 1,100?
12:50My birthday presents.
12:52Long-distance speech recording device.
12:54Huh?
12:55And a mobile person tracker.
12:58Very nice.
12:59Sir, have you worked with the latest roach cam technology?
13:03Uh, no, I have not.
13:04You drill a hole or plant it on a suspect.
13:08On their clothes or in their skin.
13:09So you can observe them 24-7.
13:12Well, you certainly all have skills.
13:17You're smart.
13:19So here's your new task.
13:24Find out who we're working for.
13:26What do they want?
13:28What are they up to?
13:31What's their secret?
13:32What's your secret?
13:49What do they like?
13:50What did they like?
13:51What do they like?
13:52Oh, OK.
13:52I don't think so.
13:53What do they like?
13:53Let's go.
14:23Let it roll tonight.
14:53A towel is probably a coded signal.
15:00He's just hanging out to dry.
15:06Signal to who?
15:09The others.
15:10What, like a group of them?
15:15Organized?
15:16They meet plot?
15:18Did one of the suspects tell you this?
15:21No one's admitted it.
15:23Yet.
15:25Once you're a suspect, you're guilty.
15:29How are you?
15:36Am I home?
15:39You're in the village.
15:44Well, so I am.
15:51Good.
15:53How long have I been sleeping?
15:57Too long for my liking.
15:59Hmm.
16:00Well.
16:01Oh.
16:02Feels like moments.
16:06Oh dear.
16:08You haven't changed a bit.
16:09No.
16:10That's what I was afraid of.
16:11Why this time?
16:16Can a man not converse with his wife now then?
16:17I just needed to know that it was still possible.
16:19Oh dear.
16:20You haven't changed a bit?
16:21No.
16:22That's what I was afraid of.
16:23Why this time?
16:24Can a man not converse with his wife now then?
16:26I just needed to know that it was still possible.
16:33Hmm.
16:34You hungry?
16:36Make you wouldn't believe.
16:37No.
16:38No.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43No.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No.
16:47No.
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53No.
16:54No.
16:55No.
16:56No.
16:57No.
16:58No.
16:59No.
17:00No.
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:03No.
17:05No.
17:06No.
17:07No.
17:08No.
17:09No.
17:14No.
17:15FRANKS.
17:16PRESS BRETTT.
17:19Yeah.
17:20Nothing.
17:22You okay with heights?
17:52There's a flask of coffee at my
18:22truck, will you fetch it for me?
18:52Tell me about him.
19:04Our boy.
19:05Obviously.
19:06Our boy grew up.
19:09He's curious about everything.
19:11Of course he is.
19:13And?
19:20Six.
19:23What is it?
19:28Here we go.
19:33You got any family 909?
19:52Family?
19:54No.
19:55I was never much good at relationships.
20:04I guess undercovers don't like to get too close to people.
20:07There's something too human about that, huh?
20:22No blockers there.
20:41No blockers there.
20:47No blockers there.
21:03We have to get him to the hospital.
21:05No.
21:06Six.
21:07No blockers.
21:23I feel rich.
21:29It kind of makes you wonder...
21:36It makes you wonder, if he'd do that to himself,
21:42maybe he is guilty.
21:46You're catching up fast.
21:54Is that how it works?
21:56Is that how dreamers are caught?
21:59That's the way I was shown.
22:03You decide.
22:06Stop!
22:18Stop!
22:20Stop!
22:26Pleased!
22:31Man!
22:35I got it.
23:00Whoa.
23:05Oh, my God.
23:35Oh, my God.
24:05There's so many undercovers. It could be anyone. It could be you.
24:13Six.
24:18He's different. He's not like the other suspects. He has some.
24:23Yes, said.
24:26Conviction.
24:27No harm has come to Six. He must survive.
24:31But he can suffer.
24:34His work as an undercover must make him feel compromised.
24:37Has Six ever met up with my son?
24:43Eleven, twelve. Why would he be meeting with Six?
24:47Youth is susceptible to wild ideas.
24:50Youngblood craves rebellion as much as it craves sex.
24:55Eleven, twelve spying on you?
24:57No.
24:59No. No, of course not.
25:02Still, let's keep an eye on him.
25:04For his own protection.
25:33I don't know.
26:03I don't know.
26:33I don't know.
26:34I don't know.
26:35I don't know.
26:36I don't know.
26:38Your father's watching you.
26:40He knows you go out at night.
26:42You'll lose your guards.
26:44You're being followed.
26:45He wants me to follow you.
26:47It's good that it's you.
26:49You suspect you might be meeting with Six.
26:52Why would he think that?
26:54I don't know.
26:56How do we get to this place?
27:03It's a good place though, isn't it?
27:05A safe place.
27:06Safe.
27:07Hey.
27:08Someone's gonna touch you.
27:09It's good.
27:10What?
27:11This.
27:12I mean, you choosing me.
27:13I seem to recall it was you chose me.
27:14Mm-hmm.
27:15When I asked for your phone, you already knew I'd been sent after you.
27:19It's Sumacorp.
27:20Everyone has a monitor.
27:21Perk of the job.
27:22And you brought me here.
27:23Well, you're free to go, but if you stay, we talk.
27:50You know I'll stay.
27:52Let's not waste any more time.
27:55I liked you.
27:57That wasn't a lie.
27:58But if that was all, then I wouldn't have had the courage to approach you.
28:01So what did give you the courage?
28:03Your reports.
28:04You asked questions.
28:06You were different.
28:07You said things that I was feeling about what was going on in Sumacore.
28:11You must know more than you realized they wanted you stopped.
28:19What happened to you?
28:35We have to stop this from happening to other dreamers.
28:39What?
28:46I'm a teacher.
28:49No, you're not.
28:53I'm the mistake.
28:55Please.
28:56I have a friend.
28:57She's in danger.
28:59I need to get her out.
29:00Get her to safety.
29:02Who are the dreamers?
29:04And how do I make contact?
29:13Why did you do this to yourself?
29:16We could have found a way out.
29:17Why?
29:19Why?
29:19Why?
29:47You're two-and-a-half minutes late, six.
30:09I hear you've been doing outstanding work.
30:13Everything and anything I might do is for one reason.
30:15That's to work against you.
30:19I have a new mission for you.
30:22Shouldn't we wait for 909 to get here?
30:25Wasn't invited.
30:28909's my new mission.
30:30909 has made himself suspect.
30:34I've every faith in him as a conscientious undercover.
30:37I know he's been spying on me.
30:39Well, of course he has.
30:41Well, you've known that before, surely.
30:43He'd be a sorry state of affairs if he weren't.
30:46Why has he become a suspect?
30:49Well, something's changed.
30:51909 is different.
30:55Don't tell me you haven't seen the fear in his eyes.
30:58Fear's not guilt?
30:59Yes, it is.
31:01Fear is always guilt in disguise.
31:04I thought you were a man who understood human behavior.
31:07909's fear must be investigated.
31:11Analyzed, thoroughly.
31:14What is it I'd be looking for?
31:19How do you know when you find it?
31:22Perhaps he's a dreamer.
31:24Why should I do it?
31:26Because you need to keep up, Six.
31:28Give yourself a chance.
31:29He's watching you now.
31:30You watch him.
31:31Do it, Six, because you want to.
31:36Because you must.
31:37Three-one-three, you have to be careful.
31:48What do you mean?
31:49I mean, whatever your dream, don't draw anything,
31:51put anything on the paper, or talk to anyone.
31:52Why are you doing this?
31:55Because I don't want anything to happen to you.
31:58So we found him.
31:59He was hurt.
32:11Where did you get these?
32:13They were sent to me anonymously.
32:16That's you.
32:18That's you on the roof of my building.
32:20It's you.
32:23Let me tell you why I did this.
32:24I know why.
32:26You're the undercover.
32:29I let myself believe you.
32:32I can't even bear to look at you.
32:56I can't even bear to look at you.
32:59I can't even bear to look at you.
33:02Oh, no.
33:07We should stop for a while.
33:08A few weeks, that's all.
33:28I don't think your father suspects us, but we should be careful.
33:31My father suspects everyone.
33:37Yeah.
33:38And not us.
33:45Not if we're careful.
33:49Come here.
34:04You sent those photographs to 313.
34:07Why?
34:07I didn't send any photographs.
34:16313 is not my mission.
34:17I want all surveillance taken off 313.
34:24I want her left alone.
34:25I can't give you that.
34:31But you can.
34:33I want 313 to be safe.
34:36That's my price for keeping what I know to myself.
34:55Hello.
35:05I was sitting out in the garden a few days ago.
35:08Hello.
35:09I was sitting out in the garden a few days ago.
35:17I want to see you.
35:18I want to hear you.
35:18I want to know it.
35:22It must be watched.
35:23Watched?
35:24Well, who would do such a thing?
35:28909 is different. Something's happened to him.
35:32Our long-serving lieutenant has secrets these past weeks and months.
35:39We're going to have to dig those secrets out of him.
35:44And then we will know what we're dealing with.
36:24He hurts.
36:42It's okay.
36:52Don't be afraid.
36:54You said you would be true, but I found it just the blue, for you're doing just as others want you to.
37:07Then after all of my love is keen, it's a blank to me, it seems, but I'm so disappointed, baby, if you made that thing.
37:20Don't keep going, every day if you made that thing.
37:23One thing I'd say is of myawn.
37:30Why do you care?
37:32Where are you taking her?
37:57Hey!
38:02No, no, just don't, don't blame me.
38:32Tell me the dreams are true.
38:40They're true.
38:42They're all true.
38:46They're dreamers.
38:50They meet.
38:52Be sure of it.
38:56Find them.
38:58I don't know.
39:00I don't know.
39:14Don't drink anymore.
39:16Please.
39:18Tell me, why did you resign?
39:24To drink beer.
39:28Up on the purpose floor, something is wrong.
39:30That is why I came looking for you.
39:32I thought it bothered you.
39:33I thought you wanted to know.
39:34And now you just want to drink beer.
39:36Maybe I don't know what to think.
39:38Or who to trust.
39:40Maybe I'm just trying to hold on to my own mind here.
39:44Maybe drinking beer is easier.
39:48You wanted to know.
39:50You stopped.
39:51Why?
39:56Because you're already there.
39:58What do you mean I'm already there?
40:10The people that you saw, the ones you said changed.
40:14The same thing has happened to you.
40:16I need you to help me.
40:20Where have they taken 313?
40:22What makes you think I would help you, Six?
40:24Help me.
40:25Or I go to your father with what you did in 909.
40:30Go to the clinic.
40:34You'll never find her.
40:36She'll have been sent down to the tunnels.
40:38Tunnels.
40:39What will they do to her?
40:41You don't want me to know.
40:43How do I get in?
40:44Don't.
40:45Only people going for treatment ever get in.
40:47Semi for treatment.
40:48Semi for treatment.
40:53Semi for treatment.
40:58Semi for treatment.
41:01Semi for treatment.
41:04Oh, I love my girl.
41:09This one is 909.
41:26I've been in this town so long in the back of the city.
41:35I've been taken for a long time.
41:40I've been taken for a long time.
41:42I love you, I love you.
41:44I love you, I love you.
41:48I love you.
41:52Are you okay?
42:111100.
42:13I've got to get to 313 and find a way out of here.
42:16Come, this way.
42:22313!
42:25313!
42:26Shut up!
42:28Shut up!
42:30313!
42:35313!
42:37It's okay.
42:39It's okay.
42:40It's me.
42:41There is a wheel.
42:42Come on, come on.
42:43I've been in this town so long, so long to the city.
42:59I've been in this town so long, so long to the city, I'm fit with the stuff, and sunny
43:15down snuff, I'm all right.
43:29I had a thought, the mountains, we could walk, escape for a week, just us, yeah, sounds good,
43:46the man is dead, what, forget it, someone,
43:59your own age.
44:10Go to the other place.
44:13You've got this.
44:16The village, oh, that's enough, isn't it?
44:20Curtis, that's the name that I hear whispered all the time, Curtis, we have to go in there
44:31now.
44:32I, I.
44:33No, I'm trying to help you here.
44:34I'm not going back there, why, why should I trust you?
44:36Because.
44:37Get out.
44:38We don't have time for this, we have to go.
44:39Get out of my apartment.
44:41You know, if you, um, change your mind, you can call me, okay?
44:58I would have liked Six to be in the tunnels for a while longer.
45:03You, you did extremely well.
45:07You wouldn't go against your parents like my son disobeyed me, would you?
45:121,100?
45:13No, sir.
45:14Now, was this you?
45:17No, don't, and don't tell you what you see.
45:21This hole is exactly at your head height.
45:24It could have been one of the other kids.
45:27But it was you, wasn't it?
45:30We're going to have to send you for treatment, aren't we?
45:36It's all right, you can finish your ice cream first.
45:47You, I guess, what?
45:48I thought you'd come back.
46:06Hello, I thought you were looking for some fun.
46:11Really awesome place.
46:44You
