That "The Prisoner" television miniseries had glimmers of that 1999 film. The ending where he returns to his wife. The heat-wave shimmering building in the distance of the sand dunes. The "Arco" buildings or whatever they were called of that 1990's version of "Simcity." "Lucy" is the woman with the dark hair, shown falling down in his hallway after, was that after he broke up with her?, who is shown in a white wedding dress falling into one of this dark holes that show up mysteriously resembling a well. The starring character, her boyfriend, is the same actor who was the domestic terrorist who blows up the ferry that eventually kills Denzel Washington's character in that severe racketeering production the 2006 film "Deja Vu." His character was the one who shoots by gunfire in the shoulder, just as happens in "The Thirteenth Floor" the character Denzel Washington portrays in that severe racketeering production.
I again now with the sense of certainty that is ripping my physical body (or maybe just my soul) that the more notes I post here then the less effect I have of making any kind of positive contribution to this effort and I thought to write this sentence only after ( now not true ) all the other content I had already established.

Bonus Army
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bonus Army was the popular name of an assemblage of some 43,000 marchers—17,000 World War I veterans, their families, and affiliated groups—who gathered in Washington, D.C., in the spring and summer of 1932 to demand immediate cash-payment redemption of their service certificates. Its organizers called it the Bonus Expeditionary Force to echo the name of World War I's American Expeditionary Force, while the media called it the Bonus March. It was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant.
Many of the war veterans had been out of work since the beginning of the Great Depression. The World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924 had awarded them bonuses in the form of certificates they could not redeem until 1945.

THE BONUS ARMY IN WASHINGTON (UNIVERSITY)
Document 1: Article by Mauritz A. Hallgren in The Nation, July 27, 1932. The dateline of the article was July 17.
Hardly more than fifty of the veterans started for the White House, but the moment their approach was reported President Hoover issued orders to the police to close the gates of the grounds and to clear Pennsylvania Avenue-and adjacent streets of all pedestrian and vehicular traffic. More than four hundred policemen were summoned to surround the Executive Mansion, all available police reserves were called to stations nearby, and officers who had just been relieved from duty were commanded to return to their posts. The demonstrators were quickly dispersed, three of their leaders being arrested. According to Inspector 0.T. Davis of the metropolitan force, President Hoover had said that if the police could not clear the streets within a few minutes he would call out regular army troops. It would have been a rare spectacle indeed to see troops patrolling Pennsylvania Avenue to protect the life of the President of the United States against a possible attack by a handful of weary, footsore, and bedraggled war veterans. Perhaps there was some danger of minor disorders in front of the White House, but in my judgement there was not the slightest possibility of any really serious trouble developing, for there is in these bonus-seekers no revolt, no fire, not even smoldering resentment; at most they are but an inchoate aggregation of frustrated men nursing a common grievance. However, the anxiety of the White House accurately reflected the increasing alarm with which high officials of the government have been viewing the presence of the bonus army -- a feeling, it must be added, that a vast majority of the residents of Washington do not share.

THE BONUS ARMY IN WASHINGTON (UNIVERSITY)
Background
In 1925 Congress enacted legislation that granted to first World War veterans a lump sum "bonus" for their service to be paid in 1945. As the depression worsened in 1932 some veterans' groups and their friends in high places began to agitate for immediate payment of the bonus, arguing that the veterans should get the money when they needed it most. In April, 1932, Representative Wright Patman (Democrat from Texas) introduced a bill calling for the redemption of the bonus certificates at once. House Republicans, and some Democrats opposing the bill, held it up in committee. In May a group of unemployed veterans in Oregon, led by a former army sergeant by the name of Walter W. Waters, decided to travel to Washington, D.C. and lobby directly for the Patman bill. As they "rode- the-rails," hitchhiked, and walked across the nation they agitated for the bonus and organized the Bonus Expeditionary Force (B.E.F.) with Waters as commander.
The cause of the B.E.F. soon drew national attention, and veterans from all parts of the country began to converge on Washington. By the end of June there were between fifteen and twenty thousand "bonus marchers" in the Capital. Most of them were set up in "Camp Marks" on a mud flat on the banks of the Anacostia River, while many others were scattered throughout the city living in abandoned and partially demolished government buildings. The presence of these men (many with their wives and children) was an annoyance to District officials and an embarrassment to the Hoover administration. Still, the bonus marchers were allowed to remain and were actually aided in finding food, materials for shelter, clothing, and other necessities by some District citizens, charity organizations, and some officials. Pelham Glassford, superintendent of Police, worked tirelessly in acquiring supplies and trying in other ways to create a cooperative relationship between the District government, the community as a whole, and the bonus marchers.

THE BONUS ARMY
Glassford, a brigadier general during World War I, went beyond the call of duty to accommodate the influx of unemployed veterans. He helped to provide them with food, shelter, and entertainment - sometimes, out of his own pocket. Glassford was generally regarded as a friend to the marchers. On July 27, 1932, Glassford was instructed by the District of Columbia commissioners to evacuate veterans from their billets in formerly abandoned buildings on Pennsylvania Avenue the next day.

THE BONUS ARMY IN WASHINGTON (UNIVERSITY)
Document #24: Editorial in The Nation, August 10, 1932.
From the very beginning General Pelham D. Glassford, a retired regular officer who is the superintendent of police, has shown courage, intelligence, and sound common sense in handling the bonus army, and has been actuated also by commiseration for the desperate plight of the men who assembled in Washington in the exercise of their constitutional right to assemble and to petition for a redress of their grievances. If General Glassford had been given a free hand we should never have witnessed such incredible scenes as took place in Washington -- seven hundred and fifty regulars, with tanks, tear-gas, and all the paraphernalia of war, brutally and ruthlessly running some 10,000 veterans out of town burning their pitiful shacks and incidentally gassing innocent civilians, newspapermen, detectives, without the slightest consideration for the plight of these destitute thousands after their eviction.
Obviously somebody blundered badly. Given a weak and timid man in a difficulty of this kind, and he is bound to be the first to turn to ruthless use of power, the first to do the wrong thing -- and Mr. Hoover is both weak and timid. What was it that brought about the bloodshed on the day it happened? There had been weeks of tolerance; then great vacillation on the part of the commissioners of the District of Columbia who issued orders to evacuate the veterans and then revoked them and rode roughshod over General Glassford. On the day before the trouble, Wednesday, July 27, there was a sudden consultation in the White House with Secretary Hurley and Secretary Mills present, and action was decided upon. The troops were all in readiness about the sacred White House and the eviction began, with the results known. Even before that the White House had announced that it was considering the declaration of martial law and of calling out the army, but no one believed that this would be done until General Glassford had been allowed to try to move the men out.
Instead the President, using as his excuse that the presence of the men was delaying the demolition of this property "necessary in order to extend employment in the District," issued his orders. At the very moment when, after consultation with the police, the commander of the veterans was trying to induce his men to go quietly, the White House turned a simple evacuation of a few half-demolished buildings into what the Baltimore Sun editorially describes as a "pitiful and brutal conflict between desperate homeless men and saber-swinging cavalry, with tanks in reserve"; as "a movement for the complete and ruthless clearing out of the whole ‘army' from the District, the mild 'conservatives' and the `radicals' alike.
