PINE:
Takallam bibut' min fadlak.
YOUSSUF grins. His pupil is making slow progress.
PINE (CONT’D)
Listen, Youssuf, you know Freddie
Hamid?
YOUSSUF:
The Hamids own the hotel, Jonathan.
Of course I know who he is.
PINE:
What’s he like?
YOUSSUF:
Playboy and a gambler. More money
than sense. He spends most of his
time in Europe.
PINE:
Well, he’s in Cairo now, and he’s
meeting someone tonight.
YOUSSUF:
How do you know that?
PINE:
Doesn’t matter. Can you call round
the kitchens? See if anyone knows
where they’re having dinner?
YOUSSUF frowns.
YOUSSUF:
Be careful, Jonathan. The Hamids...
Suddenly two EGYPTIAN YOUTHS rush in. Phones in hand.
YOUTHS (IN ARABIC)
Hey Youssuf! Mubarak’s gone!
YOUSSUF (IN ARABIC)
What are you talking about?
YOUTHS (IN ARABIC)
Mubarak has resigned!
YOUSSUF (TO PINE)
President Mubarak has resigned.
TNM Ep1 PRE-SHOOTING SCRIPT 15-3-15 1414.
PINE:
I understood.
They all rush to turn on TVs. Check facebook. Check twitter.
It’s true.
YOUSSUF:
He’s gone. He’s bloody gone!
He hugs PINE. The chefs and waitresses cheer and dance. Other
HOTEL WORKERS enter. There is a frenzy of joy, with PINE at
its centre.
On the TV - Tahrir Square is a frenzy of joy, and we can hear
guns firing in celebration from the roofs, a whole country in
liberation.
ALL (IN ARABIC)
Mubarak’s gone! Mubarak’s gone!
14 INT. CAIRO. NEFERTITI HOTEL. NIGHT DESK/OFFICE. NIGHT. 14
PINE stands at his night-desk looking at the television
publicising the news of the resignation. Joyous scenes.
NEWSCASTER:
The Arab Spring continues to spread
across North Africa like wildfire.
Cairo tonight is a mass of
celebrating people...
PINE looks down at a slip of paper.
A handwritten note, slightly scrawled. Freddie Hamid booked
into the Ramses Hilton. 7.30pm for cocktails. Corniche Bar.
Youssuf.
PINE checks the clock. 8.30pm. He calls on the phone. A voice
answers.
VOICE ON PHONE:
Ramses Hilton.
PINE:
Corniche Bar please.
Click. Another voice.
SECOND VOICE:
Corniche Bar.
PINE:
Yes this is George Watts, I’m a pal
of Freddie Hamid’s. He’s taking
cocktails in your bar tonight. I
was supposed to meet them but I got
held up.
TNM Ep1 PRE-SHOOTING SCRIPT 15-3-15 1515.
SECOND VOICE:
They’ve already gone sir.
PINE:
Oh that’s a shame. Do you happen
to know where?
SECOND VOICE:
I believe Mr...
His words are drowned out by car horns and gunfire from the
street outside. PINE winces and jams a finger into his ear.
SECOND VOICE (CONT'D)
...took Mr Hamid to dinner on his
yacht sir.
PINE:
I’m sorry I missed that. I’m at a
party. Big celebration. What was
the name again?
