Number Fourteen uses the machine to speak directly to Number Six via "B", but he becomes suspicious and when "B" is threatened by hostile agents to be killed, he does not stop to save her. During the second night with "B", a female spy, Number Six avoids answering her questions regarding his departure. During the first night with "A", a defector, Number Six refuses to sell his secrets to "A", and then escapes from being kidnapped by "A" and his henchmen. Numbers Two and Fourteen watch events unfold in Number Six's visions of the party, and then insert, separately, the dossiers for "A" and "B", agents with known ties to Number Six. On the first two nights, Number Six is sedated through his evening tea, brought to Number Fourteen's laboratory, injected with the drug, and connected to the machine.
The dossiers are labelled "A", "B", and "C". They have prepared three dossiers of foreign agents that Number Six was known to have met during an elegant party hosted by Madame Engadine prior to his resignation, suspecting that he has sold out to one of them. With the help of an injected drug, it will allow observation of, and influence on, the dream-state of a person connected to it. Number Two directs Number Fourteen to prepare a machine she has developed. Number Two is directed by Number One to step up efforts to extract information from Number Six-specifically relating to what information he is believed to have sold, leading to his resignation from the intelligence agency he worked for.
The episode stars Patrick McGoohan as Number Six and features as Number Two Colin Gordon – the only actor other than Leo McKern who would play Number Two in more than one episode.
