JED:
What do you think?
ROPER:
Well go on then.
She signals to DANIEL, who follows. As he passes ROPER:
ROPER (CONT’D)
(quietly)
Drinking my wine, stealing my
woman. Whatever next?
ROPER and DANIEL eye each other. Something terribly fragile
about the boy here.
JED goes to talk to the waiter, conspiratorial look in her
eyes. CARO is having a go at SANDY, via their NANNY.
CAROLINE:
Lord Langbourne is a snob,
basically. Three generations of
Eton or you’re not on the map.
ROPER’S ears hear this, they prick slightly.
SANDY:
Caro, darling...
ROPER:
I’m not even one generation, Sandy.
What does that make me?
An alpha male challenge here, coded in wit. SANDY’S too smart
not to notice it.
SANDY:
You’re paying the bill, Dicky.
You are the map.
He raises a glass. They all toast ROPER, as -
SANDY (CONT’D)
To Richard!
Night Manager ep 2 final
9 EXT. MALLORCA. CLIFF TOP RESTAURANT. NIGHT. 9
Music begins. Spanish music, pop-traditional fusion, and
asking to be danced to.
And there is JED. She takes DANIEL’s hand and starts to dance
amidst the tables. Others join, CORKY dancing alone in a
joyous abandon, camp as hell, SANDY and the NANNY dancing,
ROPER alone sitting smiling, smoking a lovely cigarette.
Staring at his empire.
Behind him TWO MEN walk into the restaurant. Are led to
another table.
The music heightens in pace, JED leaps on to the table and
dances for ROPER, the crowd whistle and applaud, she is
playing out the whore her mother claimed her to be. And how.
Wild clapping, roaring of encouragement, ROPER humouring her,
Daniel is here... but he needs to learn.
DANIEL turns away, slightly embarrassed, smiling but abashed.
That’s when he sees the TWO MEN smiling at him.
JED’s body is alive, released, her hair wild in the evening
light.
An euphoria.
When suddenly the music stops.
JED turns, looks round.
And her face goes white in horror.
The TWO MEN, ALBANIAN, are staring at the party, guns in
hand.
And one of them has DANIEL in his arms. DANIEL is silent.
Pure terror.
Instantly FRISKY and TABBY’s hands are on their holsters.
But the ALBANIANS see the move and train their guns on FRISKY
and TABBY, screaming with adrenaline madness...
ALBANIANS:
GUNS DOWN!! Put the guns down! On
the FLOOR!!
The ALBANIANS, sweating, see FRISKY and TABBY with their
hands on their guns.
ALBANIAN 1
WHY YOU HAVE GUNS?? You police??
A long beat. ROPER stands.
Night Manager ep 2 final
ROPER:
They’re with me.
The ALBANIANS swivel to ROPER - wired, crazed with tension,
ready to go at any moment.
ALBANIAN 1
Guns on the floor!
ROPER:
Do as he says. Everyone stay still.
No one do anything silly.
