The Night Manager season 2 comes to an end this week, but fans have a nail-biting wait to find out whether Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) can once again outwit his sinister nemesis, Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie).
Once thought dead, Roper has re-emerged intent on wreaking more havoc on the global stage and restoring his comfy position at the heart of the British establishment.
He might be on the ropes following season 1’s botched deal and years spent in captivity, but don’t underestimate the smooth-talking crook, who has MI6 boss Mayra Cavendish (Indira Varma) in his corner – as the latest episode sadly proved.
The stage is set for a blockbuster finale, with the wavering loyalties of Roper’s son Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva) and his business partner Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone) rendering it a tough episode to predict.
