ROPER:

Thanks. Good night.

INT. ROPER SUITE. NEFERTITI HOTEL. NIGHT.

ROPER closes the door.

JED is in bed.

He takes the envelope, pops it in the safe.

She smiles at him.

JED:

Stop thinking. Come to bed.

He settles in next to her. Kisses her. She kisses him back.

JED (CONT’D)

You’re right. I’m glad we’re here.

He nods. She kisses him again, kisses his chest. Doing

everything Pine asked her.

But in a private moment, as she turns away, we see the terror

on her face.

The Night Manager ep 6 final.

14 INT. CAIRO. NEFERTITI HOTEL. LANDING. DAWN. 14

Early morning. A landing over looking the street. RICHARD

ROPER stands alone. Brooding. SANDY LANGBOURNE walks up.

LANGBOURNE:

I’ve got her a taxi from the

airport.

ROPER:

Good.

ROPER nods.

LANGBOURNE:

What are you worried about Dicky? I

thought you’d found the rat. A

rather small homosexual rat as it

appears.

ROPER:

Don’t believe it.

LANGBOURNE stares at him.

LANGBOURNE:

What’s wrong?

ROPER:

The girl.

LANGBOURNE:

What about her?

ROPER:

Two hardest places to lie. Under

torture. And in between the sheets.

LANGBOURNE:

She’s not interested?

ROPER:

She’s too interested. Giving me

what I want. Telling me what I want

to hear.

He stews.

ROPER (CONT’D)

Something’s wrong. But for the

first time in my life, I don’t know

what it is.

LANGBOURNE:

Call off the deal.

The Night Manager ep 6 final.

ROPER:

How do I do that? I bought the

toys. They’re not a pair of shoes

Sandy, I can’t send them back in

the box. Besides. The people we’re

selling to. They don’t piss around.

Postponement is one thing.

Cancellation - that’s not an

option. No we go on. But eyes open,

all right? Eyes wide bloody open.

INT. RECEPTION. NEFERTITI HOTEL.

It’s morning. PINE enters the reception. Looks around in

utter nervousness. Does anyone recognise him? No, all new,

all young.

He walks fast into the breakfast room.

INT. BREAKFAST ROOM. NEFERTITI HOTEL. CONT.

ROPER is sitting with JED. JED smiles politely at PINE as he

approaches.

ROPER:

Sleep well Andrew?

PINE:

Very well thanks.

ROPER smiles.

ROPER:

That’s more like it. Take a pew.

PINE sits. Looks around. The WAITERS, the STAFF. Do they

recognise him? JED tries not to catch his eye.

ROPER (CONT’D)

Never been to Cairo before?

PINE:

No. I’ve spent a lot of time in

Morocco, Tunisia, but never Egypt.

ROPER:

Well you must take advantage. Take

in the sites. We’ll be off down the

Nile of course.

JED:

Andrew isn’t coming with us?

ROPER:

No darling. The cruise is strictly

pleasure.

The Night Manager ep 6 final.

Testing her. But she’s too good.
