American cable channel AMC broadcasts the sixth and final episode of its six-part remake of The Prisoner, starring Jim Caviziel as Number Six and Sir Ian McKellen as Number Two. This concludes the planned six-episode miniseries run of the remake, which proves to be controversial with fans of the original 1960s Prisoner. 
6 is falling ill, and 313 confirms the grim diagnosis: something is slowly killing him. 147 tries to get him help, but 2 seems content to sit back and watch his adversary wither away as more new arrivals – who seem to have no idea that they came from outside the Village – roll in on a bus. But as 2 concentrates all of his time and energy on watching 6 die, his own family is wiped out, and the mysterious holes to nowhere continue opening in the ground. What happens to the Village when 2 doesn’t feel like being in charge anymore?
