The Night Manager

There'll be no official autopsy.

No record of death. No one will know. Not even his family. Not even Danny.

Your father. He was executed by his captors.

But my chief wants the shipment list.

He knows his mind. Your chief.

I'm creating an army. Soldiers for hire.

Teddy is Richard on slow roper's son.

He's continuing the family business.

I know you have a shipment sitting in the port,

but I know what game I'm playing.

Da, da, da, da!

The cargo you impounded contains illegally imported British weapons.

My hands are tied.

If I can get you proof of what's inside those containers,

then will that help untie them?

I need proof of that shipment. And you're gonna help me get it.

- It's what you needed. - Yes.

- You don't know me. We never met. - Understood.

Mr hanson, you have full confidence in mr dos Santos?

Absolutely.

José, old boy. He's never let me down.

And he never will. Are we doing this?

Mummy, can I play?

Yeah. Not for long, though. Don't go far.

When dad gets back, we're gonna eat.

Fuck.

- What are you looking at? - Sorry, didn't want to disturb you.

Turn the lights back on, please.

Mayra. Just checking there are no wrinkles in the Colombian adventure.

- No wrinkles at all. - Good. Let's keep it that way.

Good morning.

Anything interesting?

Cat videos.

You look tired.

I didn't sleep very well.

My adorable child.

A problem I will never have to deal with.

You know that name you mentioned relating to the Luxembourg account?

Andrew birch? Yes?

Yeah. Well, I didn't mention it. You did.

Yes, so I did.

Shit.

I checked with his office.

He's working from home all day.

We've had the go ahead from our friends

and a replacement has been lined up.

I'll be there this afternoon, so don't let him out of your sight.

I've got all exits covered.

No fucking around, okay?

Of course, chief.

Great.

You hooligans!

Fátima can do that.

I sent her away.

You want some coffee?

Yes. That would be very nice.

- Roper. - Thank you.

One moment.

This is very impressive.

- Where'd you learn this? - I used to make this in oaxaca

for the boys.

Lucky boys.

These are good.

Right.

I want to talk about what happens

after all this.

Not here.

Okay.

Why don't we go for a ride?

- You sure? - You remember how?

I think I remember.

Race you!

God, I wish you wouldn't do that.

Filthy habit.

Can you imagine?

Being the first spaniard to set eyes on these hills.

The sense of freedom he must have felt.

Terra nullius.

The endlessly possible.

And now they're my prison.

I'm lucky to get out once a day,

meet in the same bloody steakhouse, an hour's chat,

some overcooked meat, and then back like a thief in the night.

That's going to change.

Well, let's not take anything for granted, shall we?

We don't have our cash flow problem anymore.

Hong Kong investor

needed to clean his money quickly.

The job's done.

I'm putting him on a plane to Paris this morning.

What did you tell him?

Nada.

Nothing.

The prosecutor will die today.

The new one will unfreeze our accounts and release the cargo.

We will deliver it to José cabrera.

You'll get the money for your Syrian creditors.

And in three days, you will be free.

But...

What happens then?

What do you mean what happens?

You can't be Gilberto hanson all your life.

No, indeed.

So?

So what do you want to happen?

You remember

six years ago when you returned to Colombia?

Of course, I had nothing then.

A shirt on my back.

And I came

just as you came every single year to the monastery.

In that beautiful black car.

When everyone had abandoned me.

You're my boy.

Am I?

When all this is done, I want the world to know who I really am.

All right, we'll get this done.

And then you and I will make a plan.

Together, we can run this continent.

The new conquistadors.

Kings of america.

But in the meantime, Teddy,

you get the cargo safely to José cabrera.

No delays, no mistakes.

Mr whistler, how was your flight?

There's a car waiting outside the airport to bring you here.

We have much to discuss.

Martín, I have to go. You stay here. Keep watching.

I need to know what the man in that house is up to.

- Okay. - Thank you.

All right, thanks. Just here is perfect.

Good evening, mr holly well.

Your guest is waiting for you in the saloon.

What guest?

Adam, how are you?

Basil karapetian, head of technical.

We met at mayra's once... cocktail party.

Yeah, I remember.

It's to do with last night.

The meeting in Holland park.

- What meeting? - With Sandy langbourne.

It seems you had your phone on in the house,

which means you can be traced to the area.

- Exactly what we try to avoid. - But I... no, no.

I swore I switched off.

Mayra's extremely sensitive around this kind of thing.

The Colombian chief does not approve of laxness,

as Jacob brower discovered.

Does mayra know?

I haven't said anything yet.

- Should we have a drink? - Why not?

All right. Alejandro.

Time to shine.

Hello. Good morning.

Do you...? I think I'm bit lost.

Do you know where the, the cable car is?

Do you know a cable car?

It's... Como the train, but, a bit in the air.

Sorry, lady, I don't know.

Now go.

- Could you maybe...? I mean... - Go.

You know, my-my guidebook says

Colombians are supposed to be friendly people.

After this, I think I'm going to be asking for a bloody rewrite.

Thank you very much.

Yes.

Hello, mr Ellis.

This is your airport transfer. Where are you?

Just at the hotel.

- Packed and ready. - Stay there.

I'm coming now.

Sir, could we please go faster?

One second.

Hey.

You said you were ready.

I am. I just had a shower.

- It's so hot here, you know. - All good, my friend?

All good.

You stayed here all night?

Of course.

Had a room service cheeseburger.

It's a bit lukewarm, but I survived.

Teddy, what is this?

Finish packing. We're leaving.

Okay.

Lord langbourne.

As I live and breathe.

Hello, Dickie.

Quite a trip.

When duty calls.

I hope they provided business class.

Special rates for ex-cons.

The staff here think I'm buying wine off you.

Chilean cabernet. Old vines.

So no hugs for now.

Come in.

Who knows I'm here?

Just the chosen few.

So let's keep it that way, shall we?

Tell me, how did you get involved in this sort of thing?
