The Night Manager

- Mum? What do you want? - I didn't think you'd pick up.

Listen, you know the deal.

I call you. You don't call me here.

Are you ashamed to talk to me?

Listen, I don't have time to talk, I'm going out.

Where are you going?

It doesn't matter. Somewhere on the island.

I bet the weather there's just fine.

- How's Billy? - As if you care.

They say he doesn't even ask about you anymore.

There's more money coming at the end of the month.

That's why you called me, right?

I'm putting the phone down.

Just remember one thing, honey.

You're nothing but a dirty whore.

Just a minute.

Come in.

Oh. Hey, I thought you were your father.

- Dad says we need to go. - I know.

I'm coming. You just wait outside.

Okay.

- How do I look? - You look very pretty.

Come on. Go.

I misunderstood him.

The fact remains you and paella do not get on

to the point where basically we're out 7 million

because Corky doesn't like paella.

No, that's one version, chief.

One version? That is theversion.

It's a matter of record. You chaps better go on ahead.

There you are.

I was starting to think you'd drowned in the bath.

Baby, I have terrible news. I have a new date for tonight.

He's young and he's seriously hot.

Well, I wouldn't put it past him.

Alright, come on. Let's go. I'm starving.

- Come with me, Dans? - Okay.

Are we taking the boats?

Yes, sir. You might even drive if you're lucky.

Yes, you lot. Come on, then.

- Nice to see you. - You, too.

- Jorge, how are you? - Mr Roper, how are you?

Very well, thank you. Still doing the shellfish soup?

Yes, of course! The recipe lives on.

We'll have that to start.

All except for Major Corkoran who will have the paella.

Hi, how are you? Ja, very good to see you.

Lovely to see you. Hi, darling. How are you?

- Fine. - Good to see you.

I think it is mad, no, I think it's actually hypocritical.

If you like eating venison, you ought to be able to kill a stag.

I think if you're willing to kill a stag,

you have to be willing to admit you just like killing stags.

Thank you, Jed, I now officially love you.

Chief, is it okay to baptise the princeling

in the ways of the grape?

I think that's a yes, isn't it?

Dicky, please tell Jed I don't have "blood lust."

Beautiful fizzy liquid.

You've got so many lusts, Sandy, that's why we love you.

Give the stag an M16, Sandy. Then I'm interested.

Give him an M16? Bollocks! Sell him.

Oi, oi, oi!

What do you think, Daniel?

He likes it,

- Oh, dear! - See what you've done?

What if he turns out like me, boss?

This a dark, dark road you've embarked upon.

Thank you, Corky.

Go on then.

- Did you like the wine? - Where are we going?

- It's a secret. - Where are you going?

So you drink my wine, you steal my woman.

Proud of you, Danny.

Bring her back in one piece, will you?

Lord Langbourne is a snob, basically.

Three generations of Eton or you're not on the map.

I'm only one generation, Sandy. So what does that make me?

You're paying the bill, Dicky. Which means you are the map.

- To Ricardo! Good health. - Cheers.

Slimy bloody arse-licking creep.

Excuse me, small person, out of my way.

May I have this dance?

- Thank you so much. - Of course.

Let's see what you've got. Okay, okay, that's fine.

And again... and you go round. Good, good...

- She wants to dance. - Come on then, Corkoran.

Right, come on. I'll do it.

Tear it up, tear it up.

Oh, yeah. Come on, baby.

Very slow. Right and left.

That's it.

It's time to put the children to bed.

- Oh, no. - Thank you, great.

- Guys, good night. Sleep well. - Ignore him.

Dance with me?

You have Chateaubriand every single day.

There's been no point at which you go,

"Oh, for God's sake... if I eat that I will vomit"?

Nobody move! Nobody move!

This is a robbery! Guns down! Guns down!

On the floor! Guns down! Why you got guns? You police?

No, no. They're with me.

Put the guns on the floor! Roper, please, goddamn it!

Frisky, Tabby, do what he says.

On the floor.

Everyone stay very, very calm.

We're going to do exactly what this gentleman wants us to do.

And everything is gonna be fine.

- You a rich man? - Yes, I am a rich man.

I'm gonna give you all the money we have.

I'm gonna give you wallets, jewellery, anything in the till.

And then you're gonna leave. Right?

- Jorge, check the till, please? - Tell him no alarms!

No alarms, Jorge, and slowly.

Everybody stay very, very calm.

Dad!

- Just keep looking at me. - Back off. Back off.

Tabby, Tabby, Tabby, step back...

- Is your boy? - Yes. He's my boy.

Danny, it's fine, just keep looking at me, it's fine.

Jewellery. Wallets

Just give them everything we have.

In the bag!

It's all right, Danny.

That's all? Where is the real money?

That's shit, man! Where is the rest?

We can send for some money.

- How much do we have, Corks? - About 100.

There you are, $100,000.

We can have it here in 15 minutes.

All you have to do is let the boy go.

It's alright, Danny.

We contact you. We contact you.

You bring the money to us. We give you back the boy.

No, no, no. We will give you money.

But you have to leave the boy here.

- We contact you! - No, no, no.

On the floor, on the ground!

- No, you take me instead! - We contact you! Back off!

Down on the ground! Everybody on the ground!

Everybody on the ground!

- We contact you. - Dad!

Dad! Dad!

- No! - Alright, alright, alright!

- Stay there or the boy dies. - Dad!

Dad!

On the ground! On the ground!

- Down on the floor! - Get down! Shut up!

Who's in there? Who's in there?

Good boy. Good boy. Good boy...

Mr Burr always wanted to come to the Swiss Alps.

He likes the peace and quiet, does Mr Burr.

You don't?

All this snow and silence makes me want to scream.

Don't worry, I'm not going to.

Okay. How long have you been together?

- 20 years, come November. - Wow. Congratulations.

It's marriage, Jonathan. It's not a state of bliss.

- Any children? - First and last.

So there's no mention of Cairo on your professional CV.

I checked.

Yeah, I took it off after I left.

Why?

I had to.

So if Roper checked with Meisters for a biography,

Cairo wouldn't come up?

- No. - What about Freddie Hamid?

To him I was just a man in a uniform.

He never knew my name.

So just a little bit of airbrushing and you'd be clean?

Clean?

Do you handle cash in that hotel of yours?

Yeah. Sometimes.

Suppose you stole some of it or all of it.

Would anyone notice straightaway?

Not if I was clever about it.

Ah. Well, luckily you are clever, Jonathan.

- 'Cause I checked. - Did you? 'Course you did.

Don't get many visitors here, do you?

No.

Oh, T.E. Lawrence... of Arabia.

The lonely genius who wished only to be a number.

Would you put that back, please?

Whose initials are these?

They're my father's. It's private.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realise it meant that much to you.

Yes, you did.

He was undercover in Belfast, wasn't he, your father?

- Yes, he was. - Same regiment as you?

Yeah.

I read that they had to put his uniform back on

before they buried him.

What do you want, Ms Burr?

I want to make you an offer. Come and work for me.

And afterwards, when it's all over, I will look after you.

Resettlement, new name, new identity... new life.

An offer to do what?

To bring down Richard Roper.

I've spent ten years of my life going after that man.
