Come out! Hands up! NOW!
But no one comes out.
The ALBANIAN approaches.
And we zoom into the darkness. Into the window.
Into a human eye that is staring out. Calmly.
Night Manager ep 2 final
And the eye belongs to JONATHAN PINE.
11 INT. ZERMATT RESTAURANT. DAY. 11
BURR:
You’re not going to be a pudding
traitor are you?
ANGELA BURR, 3 months pregnant, stares across at JONATHAN
PINE as the main course dishes are cleared away, the Alpine
snow stretching behind them through the window of this very
different, rather sober restaurant. The restaurant from the
end of Episode 1.
PINE smiles.
PINE:
Good lord no.
BURR turns to the waiter.
BURR:
We’ll have the puree of chestnut.
Two spoons. And coffee. Strong. Two
sugars in mine...
PINE:
No sugar for me.
BURR raises her eyebrows The waiter leaves. Beat.
BURR:
So why did you do it?
PINE:
Do what?
BURR:
Why does Jonathan Pine, the
respected hotelier, risk his career
by snitching on his guests. First
Cairo. Now here.
PINE:
I don’t know.
BURR:
Yes you do.
PINE:
Something stirred I suppose.
BURR leans in quietly.
Night Manager ep 2 final
BURR:
What stirred?
PINE:
A man’s peddling a private arsenal
to an Egyptian crook, he’s English,
you’re English, and those arms can
cause a lot of pain to a lot of
people. Well you just do it.
BURR:
Plenty wouldn’t. You were a
soldier yourself, of course.
PINE.
Iraq
BURR:
Two tours. You know what those
weapons can do to a body.
Beat.
BURR (CONT’D)
Why did you leave the army?
PINE:
I saw things... that didn’t reflect
my idea of being a soldier.
BURR:
And then there’s Sophie Alekan.
Your Sophie.
PINE:
She’s not my Sophie.
Beat.
WAITER:
Your dessert madame.
The WAITER appears.
He puts it down. Two spoons. They each take a spoon.
And stare at each other.
12 INT. ZERMATT. TRAIN. DAY. 12
A small train winds up the hill, through the stunning Zermatt
countryside. BURR and PINE talk in a quiet corner of an
almost deserted carriage. BURR stares out the window at the
astonishing view.
Night Manager ep 2 final
BURR:
Mr Burr always wanted to come to
the Swiss lakes. Likes the peace
and quiet, does Mr Burr.
PINE:
You don’t?
BURR:
All this snow and silence? Makes me
want to scream.
She looks around at the demure Swiss passengers.
BURR (CONT'D)
Don’t worry, I’m not going to.
PINE:
How long have you been together?
