In the second season of The Night Manager, Diego Calva was introduced as Jonathan Pine's new antagonist, Teddy Dos Santos, a young Mexican-Colombian arms dealer who turns out to be the biological son of Pine's archnemesis Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Camila Morrone played Roxana Bolaños, a Miami-based shipping broker whose company was owned by Teddy's organization. The season ended with Roper killing Teddy in front of Pine, while Roxana's fate was left open-ended as she prepared to board a flight back to Miami. Calva and Morrone spoke about their characters' arcs, relationships, and the emotional impact of the season finale.

Why it matters

The Night Manager's second season explored the complex dynamics between its trio of characters - Pine, Teddy, and Roxana - and the moral ambiguity of their choices in the high-stakes world of arms dealing and international espionage. Calva and Morrone's performances provided depth and nuance to their characters, highlighting the trauma and broken dreams that drove them. The season's tragic ending sets the stage for a potentially explosive final season.

The details

In the finale, after being tipped off by Roxana, Roper hatches a plan to use two different planes, sending the empty plane to the authorities and the real plane to the militants in the jungle. Once he fulfilled his end of the bargain with the militia, Roper, without flinching, shoots Teddy in the head in front of Pine. Calva says Teddy's death was necessary to strengthen Pine's story, while Morrone notes Roxana's betrayal of Pine and Teddy was justified after Pine lied about being able to protect her. Roxana's fate is left open-ended as she prepares to board a flight back to Miami.

  • In the season two finale, Roper shoots Teddy in the head in front of Pine.

What they’re saying

“I think Teddy's journey should end the way it ends because Teddy is the soul of this season. And if we kept him alive, the season and the journey of all the other characters will lose strength. Of course, it's sad that Teddy dies, and it's painful. But I was really, really happy when I read the beautiful writing of David [Farr]. He killed Teddy because that's what makes Pine's story come [back] even stronger.”

— Diego Calva, Actor

“I'd be curious to see where she would go. I do think that there is something in Roxy where she is addicted to the thrill and the game, and it fills a very big void in her heart.”

— Camila Morrone, Actress
