Dean: holy underwear! It is a ransom note! Heart's been kidnapped! Dean: A nefarious demand for money left right in Heart's own boot! Kat: Lemme see that... Kat: "Inspected by #27." Dean: A dark riddle...what do you suppose it means?
She’s being held Prisoner in the Village, and #27 is her Observer. With the help of #6, perhaps she can counter the schemes of the New #2, elude the sentry balloons, unmask the mysterious #1, and win her freedom.
As much as I loved Secret Agent (I have DVDs of the series so I can still get a “fix” occasionally)- AND Patrick McGoohan - I just could NOT get interested in The Prisoner. My dad watched it without fail, but I just couldn’t join in - I know, I should be ashamed…
I’m actually watching it for the first time, via NetFlix (I’m only up to Episode 3). It’s bizarre, which is good, but it’s sometimes too deliberately bizarre, which is not-so-good. When they can’t make something compelling, they seem to think making it baffling will suffice.
There’s one particular image that I vaguely remember from my childhood which must have come from the show, and I know I won’t quit the series until I hit it. I know it featured the sentry balloons, but beyond that I’ll recognize it when I see it…

Well, I’ll still say Kat goes home, and Dean turns into a detective.
Or he goes home too after Kat sets him straight.
Better yet, he takes the stuff to Heart’s house :D

JSW321:”Holy Underwear” is a line from ”Blazeing Saddles” from the mouth of Gov, LePetomaine (Mel Brooks) himself.

#0308, #27 missed that, because she was trying to get the Answer from #42 (the only one who knew it), but they ended up in the bushes in a #__.

Dean should know that “number one” is Commander Riker
(of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation series)

It means Dean’s desire for something to do has led to him making up bullcrap.

He calls it a ransom note, yet there’s no ransom in it.
