The Night Manager could be in for a shocking twist, with a teaser clip showing baddie Teddy Dos Santos hinting that he wants someone killed.
The BBC drama, which stars Tom Hiddleston as MI6 agent Jonathan Pine, has returned for its second series, a decade after the first captivated audiences. The second series, which premiered on New Year's Day, picks up several years later, and a gripping snippet from the second episode shows Pine coming face-to-face with his new adversary.
Pine is now a low-ranking MI6 officer overseeing a discreet surveillance unit in London. However, things take a turn when he identifies one of Roper's former mercenaries, prompting a call to action that leads Pine to a violent encounter with Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos.
An exclusive preview of the second episode reveals Teddy engaging in a sinister conversation with a General, telling him that a man named Alejandro Gualteros is 'making my life difficult'. The General reassures Teddy that he'll handle it, to which the arms dealer responds: 'Make it quick. No money. No operation.'
In a subsequent conversation between Teddy and Pine, Pine masquerades as a businessman from a Hong Kong bank, aiming to gain the villain's trust. Teddy appears to call for a murder in the sneak peek at episode two.
