                       The title of this episode is "It's Your Funeral".
Could it be that No.6 knew that he could never get away?  After all, the
"Village" was getting rid of the old No.2, and he couldn't have had any
bargaining power left. This is really not clear to me either.  

     As far as the ostentatiousness of the assasination, I think that it was
just for the sake of the plot. 

   Are we going to hear from anybody else!???
