PINE:

Did they look like it?

ROPER:

Never sailed a boat for them?

PINE:

Is this an interrogation?

ROPER:

I’ll decide that. Did you cook for

them?

PINE:

No.

CORKORAN:

Those mussels were marvellous.

ROPER:

So you weren’t the lookout guy? You

didn’t switch roles half way

through?

PINE:

No.

ROPER:

One of Corky’s little theories.

PINE:

Well it’s an insulting theory. I

saved the kid’s life. I haven’t

asked for anything. I don’t want a

reward, I certainly don’t

appreciate this investigation into

my past life, and I’m bored of your

hospitality. Maybe I’m not squeaky

clean but nor I suspect are you and

your little friend here, so why

don’t we just leave it at that?

The Night Manager ep 3 final

ROPER:

Where are you going?

PINE:

I’m leaving.

ROPER:

What are you going to do for a

passport?

PINE:

I’ve got a passport. Thomas Quince.

Beat. They stare at him.

PINE (CONT’D)

Where is it?

ROPER:

Corky, sock him the bad news.

CORKORAN:

That passport’s gone old love.

Thomas Quince had to be shredded.

He smiles at PINE who feels a quite instinctive sense of

rage. He walks towards him, threatening. FRISKY melts into

existence at the sign of violence.

PINE:

What are you talking about?

CORKORAN:

No good getting in a paddy my dear.

Your cover is blown sky-high.

You’re on every wanted list on

God’s earth. Murder, theft, sadly

not buggery but we’ll work on that.

PINE:

That was my passport. That was

mine!

ROPER:

Well. You’re going to have to learn

to be someone else. Aren’t you?

Threat in his voice. PINE stares at him.

Footsteps on the terrace. ROPER gets up, furious that his

orders have been disobeyed.

ROPER (CONT’D)

I SAID NO ONE IN HERE!

Even CORKY stops dead in fear. ROPER’s outburst is sudden and

violent. It is JED, in her towel robe, swimming costume

underneath.

The Night Manager ep 3 final

JED:

Oh sorry darling I didn’t know.

And then as if nothing had happened...

ROPER:

ROPER (CONT’D)

My fault, didn’t know it was you.

It’s good news actually. Thomas is

staying a while. Til he’s fighting

fit again.

JED:

Oh that’s great. Come and have a

swim.

ROPER:

Go on. Corky can lend you some

Speedos.

JED walks over to the pool and dives in.

PINE:

No thanks.

ROPER gets up.

ROPER:

Corky put him in the fisherman’s

cottage at the end of the estate.

CORKORAN:

Will do chief.

ROPER:

There’s a party on Sunday. We’ll

decide what to do with you after

that. Get fit again. And keep Danny

company. Try and get him to smile a

bit.

ROPER approaches PINE, speaks quietly.

ROPER (CONT’D)

One more thing. I run a tight ship

here. You saved my boy. I’m

grateful. But you step out of line,

you’ll wish you’d never been born.
