SINGHAL:

You been home?

BURR:

Came straight from the airport.

SINGHAL:

Shame. Mr Burr would’ve been

excited to see you.

BURR:

Oh give over. Close the door.

She gets out the briefcase.

She signals SINGHAL to turn on the radio which he does. She

takes from her briefcase the envelope containing Pine’s

photographs of Roper’s accounts. She opens them. Stares at a

series of annotations made by APOSTOL.

She stares at them. SINGHAL joins her.

BURR (CONT’D)

Investors in Tradepass. Translated

by the Spaniard. Names on the left.

Numbers on the right.

They look at the total figure. Three hundred million. She

follows the numbers.

BURR (CONT’D)

Roper buys weapons at 300 million

dollars, cash-flowed by investors

who know nothing about what they’re

trading in. Or don’t want to know.

BURR (CONT’D)

The investors are guaranteed 20%

profit in twelve months. So Roper

pays back 360 million at the end of

the deal. But look what he’s

selling at.

STEADMAN looks down: Sees the number: ESP - 600 million

dollars.

SINGHAL:

What’s that?

BURR:

Estimated sale price. His dad was

an auctioneer.

SINGHAL:

That’s a profit of 240 million.

BURR:

Not bad for a year’s work.

They stare at each other.

BURR (CONT’D)

Now look at this. Consultation

fees.

In the expenses column there’s an expense marked:

Consultation Fees. Halo and Felix. 5 million dollars.

SINGHAL:

Who are Halo and Felix?

The office phone rings like an explosion. SINGHAL answers.

SINGHAL (CONT’D)

Singhal. IEA.

Looks surprised.

SINGHAL (CONT’D)

Yes of course. (holds out the

phone) It’s Mayhew. I think he’s on

the warpath.

12 INT. MAYHEW’S OFFICE. FCO. LONDON. DAY. 12

BURR and MAYHEW alone. MAYHEW is on his feet, furious, but

speaks in hushed tones as if the very walls are his enemy.

MAYHEW:

An unmarked van forcing me off

Swiss Cottage Road. Is that what

it’s come to? This is London for

Christ’s sake!

The Night Manager ep 4 final

BURR:

They were trying to scare you

that’s all.

MAYHEW:

Well they picked the wrong man.

They’re going to get a Whitehall

knife-fight like they’ve never

seen. Your budget is tripled, don’t

ask me where I got it from, best

you don’t know. How many more

people do you want?

BURR:

I need sigint, intelligence

gathering and analysis. Six

minimum. People I can trust.

MAYHEW:

You choose them. You choose

everything. Get Steadman back here,

tell him we’re joining forces. Get

a new office. Have it swept, new

company. New kit. Everything.

BURR:

Rex sit down. I have something to

show you.

BURR hands him the same annotated sheets. MAYHEW stares in

pure shock.
