The Night Manager

Teddy is Richard Onslow Roper's son.

He is continuing his business model, and the River House are involved.

Adam Holywell is a middleman.

He connects dozens of UK companies with clients abroad, often in the shadows.

Hamley Street. Holland Park.

The question is, who is he working for this time?

Mayra Cavendish believes you died in that hotel room explosion.

-What do you need from me? -All of Rex's operational files.

You send them over.

His name is Alejandro Gualteros.

He's frozen all my bank accounts.

Impounded the shipment. Now he wants to look inside.

That cannot happen.

Teddy will need cash flow. That's your way in.

What do you want?

You're going to convince him that Matthew Ellis is the man he needs.

You want to get away clean? That's the price.

We need the shipment list in that briefcase to know what we're dealing with.

Roxy tells me that you're looking for investment opportunities.

I can promise you a rich reward.

Who are you, Matthew?

I can make you clean.

Make me clean.

Listen carefully.

Take this briefcase to the Cartagena office.

Give it to Paloma. She'll look after it.

-Safe travels. -I'll come straight back.

He's still unconscious.

Mr Hanson, please.

-Someone should take him back. - I'll look after him.

Stay with him. Make sure he's okay. I need his money.

Good night.

Hi, chief.

How the fuck did you do that?

Maybe you should stay here tonight.

I think it's what they expect.

There's some spare clothes in the suitcase.

What's in the Barquero shipments?

You never stop, do you?

British weaponry

under the counter.

In the morning, I want you to find Teddy.

Tell him I agree to his deal.

Say I have business meetings on the coast. I'll sign the contract in Cartagena.

I need proof of that shipment.

And you're gonna help me get it.

If I get you in, I'm done.

I walk away clean.

I'll tell you when you're done.

I don't even know your fucking name.

But let me make something clear.

You are not the one in control here.

Tell me about the Barquero offices.

They're near the port.

Very high security, extensive camera and alarm systems inside.

I have a pass to the main building,

but there's an annexe at the rear which they keep private. It's passcoded.

Your briefcase will be in there.

They'll be watching me.

I need the code for the annexe and the CCTV serial numbers.

You're very demanding. You know that?

Matthew.

Teddy.

Welcome, my friend.

Good morning.

Welcome to Barquero.

-All good? -All good.

Nice. Please.

-How were your other meetings? -Oh, lots of Caribbean hot air.

Not much substance.

Don't worry. That's about to change. Please.

Our boy's entering the castle.

The Roper piggy bank will be required.

How much?

Twenty million. And I'm not talking pesos.

Okay.

Transfer it to the Belize account.

I'll hold it there for a while to buy him some time.

- Hello. How are you? - Hello. I'm fine.

Good morning.

Matthew. Pleasure.

This is Paloma. She's the guardian of the castle.

And I warn you. Don't mess with her.

Proof of identification, please, Mr Ellis.

-Of course. -Just a formality, Matthew.

That's all.

Okay.

Come on in. Ready?

- All good? - All good.

There are three copies of the documents.

Please read and sign on page six, nine and twelve.

Take your time, Matthew.

There's no rush.

A donation?

To my wonderful charity

looking after young victims of Colombia's many years of violence.

And the second document?

Is your share ownership in a brand-new company.

It will pay a handsome dividend in three months' time.

With a laundry ticket.

-For your records. -Thank you.

You're welcome.

Paloma, I need copies for the bank in Miami.

Okay.

I think now it's time for the money.

Yes. I will just have to call my bank in Belize to authorize the payment.

It's okay. Be my guest.

Uh, excuse me.

Speakerphone, please.

Good afternoon, Mr Ellis. This is Gold Level customer liaison.

-My name is Rebecca. How can I help you? -Yes. Hello. Good afternoon, Rebecca.

I'm calling to authorize a transfer to an account registered

in the name of the Aurora Foundation in Medellín in Colombia.

It's a charitable donation.

Of course.

Security processes will take place now.

Please plug in the beneficiary account and IBAN number in question.

Yes, of course.

Okay.

Thank you very much, Mr Ellis.

How much would you like to send to the Aurora Foundation today?

Twenty million US dollars.

Of course.

Just to let you know, the money will be in the receiving account within 12 hours.

This is due to additional data checks being instigated

according to new financial regulations here in Belize.

Understood. Thank you so much, Rebecca, thank you.

-Thank you, Mr Ellis. Have a good day. -You too.

You didn't say there would be a delay.

I didn't know.

I don't do this kind of thing every day. Maybe you do.

Financial rules in Belize are strict. That's how it is.

But we need the money tonight.

It's okay.

It won't be a problem.

-No? -No, no.

It's a routine check.

Matthew and I trust each other, and that's what matters.

Right?

You'll stay as our guest until the money enters our account.

Happily.

Roxana, take Matthew to his hotel and make sure he's comfortable.

Okay?

José Cabrera, accused of paramilitary activity

against the government, remains a fugitive from justice.

According to official sources, his family hacienda is empty,

and police believe he may be hiding in the jungle areas in the South.

Hi. Are you okay?

No, they're watching my apartment, and they're not hiding it.

Okay, we just need some more time. Max is on the inside.

He's getting the shipment list.

I'm giving you 24 hours.

Then I'm letting the shipment go.

Thank you.

Good morning.

-Roxana Bolaños. -Okay.

Matthew Ellis.

-Viktor. - Hi, friend.

Hi.

I borrowed this from your suitcase.

-I hope you don't mind. -Absolutely fine.

-Hi. -Hi.

Let's go for a walk.

Show me the ocean.

If this is Teddy trusting, I'd love to see him suspicious.

No. Trust me, you wouldn't.

You have the code to the annexe?

732349.

-There are two cameras inside. -You have the serial numbers?

Mm-hmm. I got the central hub.

You better be good for the money.

I'm good for the money.

Why are you involved in any of this?

Five million reasons.

José Cabrera's whereabouts are still unknown.

According to the latest reports, search teams are being deployed

together with police and the national army so as to catch this dangerous criminal.

We need to lose our friend.

And how do we do that?

I want immunity from prosecution and anonymity.

You were never here.

Viktor.

Come here. Listen.

Look. In a while, I'm gonna…

take the lady back to the hotel, and I'd appreciate a little privacy.

So if you just stay in the bar for a while…

-Understand? -Yeah.

I mean, how long can an Englishman take?

He's downstairs.

-Come through. -Thanks.

We don't have much time.

Ah!

Do all your girlfriends get this treatment?

Not exactly.

You don't have anyone, do you?

-Do you? -That is what is known as deflection.

Matthew.
