But then, both Ned and Amelie are kidnapped and held in separate dark rooms with only a mattress on the floor. The kidnappers' plan is for Ned's billionaire father, Jethro, to pay a high stakes ransom. Hours and hours and days and days pass by without a ransom. Paris will give us a rundown on every splinter and every dust bunny creeping in Amelie's room. I imagine him holding a copy of today’s newspaper as he stares at a camera, his eyes wide with fear. Ned isn’t the bravest of men.

The two script collections edited by Robert Fairclough include several scripts written for the series, but not filmed. The book is spot-on with recreating some parts of the show and then creates other elements. However, in my honest opinion, the show did a better job only because the book was limited as to what it presented. I would recommend and give this story a chance if you enjoyed the show. The beginning portion of the book (with Amelie's imprisonment) was supposedly the more fast-paced and interesting part of the story... but I found it mind-numbing and once some reveals occurred, beyond silly. It reminded me of the sort of over-the-top dramatics you see in a bad action movie revolving around a hostage situation, and those are certainly not my cup of tea. The second part of the book was EVEN LONGER and didn't lead me to any sort of interesting takeaway. Amelie is a bit of a naive MC on top of everything else, so not only was it hard to feel sorry for her, but frankly they probably should have just left her in the room from part one. I'm sure she would have figured out what was going on....eventually. 🙃 Perhaps the most surprising part is how well his voice in this novel matches with the television series, itself. The inscrutable layers are there, as is the unyielding heart of six, the crushing weight which at every turn you feel must finally overcome him, and all the multivariate allusions to how his predicament parallels the sum of human experience, imagined as a struggle between the individual and communal urges.The Prisoner: Complete Series Blu-ray Disc Details | High-Def Digest".

Number Six is a particularly important target of the constantly changing Number Two, the Village administrator, who acts as an agent for the unseen Number One. Several techniques are used by Number Two to try to extract information from Number Six, including hallucinogenic drugs, identity theft, mind control, dream manipulation and forms of social indoctrination and physical coercion. All of these are employed not only to find out why he resigned, but also to elicit other information he gained as a spy. The position of Number Two is assigned to a different person in each episode, with two making repeat appearances. This is assumed to be part of a larger plan to disorient Number Six, but sometimes the change of personnel seems to be the result of the failure of the previous incumbent, whose fate is unknown.
