ROOK (CONT’D)

Two weeks and they close the

office. The International

Enforcement Agency is no more.

Beat. BURR stares at ROOK. For the first time it feels as if

BURR is a broken woman.

ROOK (CONT’D)

Go home Angela. Have your baby. Be

a teacher’s wife.

BURR:

You mean “give up”.

BURR turns on the radio to cover the conversation.

BURR (CONT’D)

What about Pine?

ROOK:

Pine gave you false intelligence.

BURR:

I don’t believe that.

ROOK:

Are you sure?

BURR:

I went to him. I got him involved

in this. I can’t leave him in

there.

ROOK:

I don’t see what choice you have.

BURR stares at him. She does not move. The door opens. The

Female Officer - GRACE, enters. She is saddened by the

politics of it all.

BURR:

Didn’t you hear? You don’t work

here any more.

The Night Manager ep 6 final.

GRACE:

I just wanted to say thank you. And

if you ever need help in the

future.

BURR:

Don’t hold your breath.

GRACE nods, is about to leave. Then BURR’s phone rings.

BURR (CONT’D)

Angela Burr.

There is a pause on the line.

BURR (CONT’D)

Who is this?

Suspicion in her voice.

VOICE OF PINE:

Is Sophie there?

BURR leans forward. GRACE, at the door, has not left.

BURR:

Sophie? There is no Sophie...

VOICE OF PINE:

Well if she comes. Tell her we’re

all here waiting for her. In the

same hotel. Tell her we’re all

here.

The phone clicks off. BURR looks at ROOK. At GRACE. She

breathes deep. ROOK stares. He writes “Pine?”. BURR nods.

Writes “Cairo”.

BURR stares at ROOK. And from the zeal in her eyes ROOK knows

it’s not over. Not over at all.

13 INT. CAIRO. NEFERTITI HOTEL. FOYER/RECEPTION. NIGHT. 13

PINE has put the phone down in the foyer. He stands quietly

for a moment.

And watches as the Night Manager takes over from the Day

Manager as he used to do so many times.

PINE stares at The Night Manager who sits quietly, almost

invisibly at his desk. Immaculate. Young.

A moment between them that seems to last an eternity.

Then the revolving doors move and a MILITARY COURIER

approaches.

The Night Manager ep 6 final.

MILITARY COURIER (IN ARABIC)

I have a delivery for Mr Roper.

Hatshepsut Suite. Please give it to

him personally. Tonight.

NIGHT MANAGER (IN ARABIC)

Certainly.

He takes a brown envelope from him.

PINE watches the NIGHT MANAGER sign for the envelope. And

then walk into the lift.

PINE watches.

INT. CORRIDOR. NEFERTITI HOTEL.

The NIGHT MANAGER walks out of the lift on the top floor and

walks along to the Hatshepsut Suite. Knocks on the door.

The door opens. ROPER.

NIGHT MANAGER:

A courier delivery sir. I was told

to give it to you personally.
