So.. we have a night manager of a hotel in Cairo?? He gets invited to sit down with Sophie Alekan, who asks him to make a copy of a batch of documents, which appear to be a huge list of arms being sold. He sees a name Freddie Hamid in the document, and he asks his friend in the kitchen if he knows Hamid. At this exact moment this is the time when they announce Mubarik resigns. And the kitchen and country erupt in celebration.
So this Night Manager, Jon Pine, tracks down this Freddie Hamid and learns that Hamid is on a Yacht with rich man Richard Roper. Pine takes the document copy to a friend of his at the British Embassy. Needless to say, this huge list of armaments being sold/ transferred is quite alarming to the Embassy friend. And the document package makes its way to London. And in London, they begin a look into this Richard Roper.
Back in Cairo. Pine gets called up by Alekan. She tells Pine, Roper has been warned and called off the deal. So it was leaked that Pine sold out her list she'd given him for safekeeping. Now her life is in Danger. Pine hides her away in another hotel room JUST IN TIME, because almost instantly Freddie Hamid shows up looking for her. Haha, funny how Hamid announces who he is talking to on his phone when he gets a call.
-1 Star for announcing who he is talking to in front of Pine...conveniently dumb
So Pine sets it up for Alekan to go to a safe spot to hide. when they arrive there, Alekan comes on to Pine STRONG. I guess Pine is one sexy sexy man!! And of course, Pine sleeps with her. This of course greatly increases the chance she's going to end up dead. I'm sure of it.
So back to this Angela Burr. She is London official looking into Roper.
Pine talks to his Embassy contact, and tells him he wants to hide Alekan in London, but the Embassy guy tells Pine if he does this he makes her a target for Roper and Hamid, and no one in London will 'lift a finger' to stop them from getting to her. He tells Alekan that he can't help her by getting her out to London. So Alekan returns to the Hotel.
Angela Burr , after receiving pushback in London about the case, contacts the embassy friend who sent her the papers, and gets Pine's name. She calls Pine, to warn him that Alekan's life is in danger and he needs to get her somewhere safe immediate. He rushes to her room to do this, and finds her DEAD. Gee, didn't see that coming!!!
Pine tells the Police that he suspects Freddie Hamid in Alekans murder. The Cop tells Pine, nope, was a burgler. I guess Pine says forget this nonsense and he gets himself a transfer to a Hotel in Switzerland. How privileged it must be to be a NIGHT MANAGER. Haha, he finds out that RICHARD ROPER is coming to stay at the hotel, his new digs. As the NIGHT MANAGER, he greets Roper at the door. Roper is of course a big time VIP.
Now when showing Roper to his room, Pine seems quite taken with Roper's GF. And Roper is looking for a package he was expecting. Pine denies seeing it, even when he just moments before Roper's arrival was holding it in his hands. Pine goes back and writes down information from the contents of the package. Then has a kitchen guy deliver it to Roper's room. Pine also collects some of Roper's trash. He collects cards from Roper's phones that were thrown away.
Later, Pine calls London to speak to Angela Burr. The next night at the new Hotel, Pine witnesses a meeting wiht Roper and other VIPS. Then Pine meets with Burr, and Burr ends this episode by asking Pine what he is Prepared to Do About Roper and the killing of Alekan??
+1 Star for the ending, which was good. 5/10
