The ones I really worry about say nothing and then one day they explode.

我真正擔心的人，他們什麼都不說，然後有一天就會爆發。

Welcome to watchmojo and today we're looking at the background story and incredible success of the TV espionage masterpiece the Night Manager.

歡迎來到 WatchMojo，今天我們要來探討這部電視間諜傑作《夜班經理》的背景故事和驚人成功。

If you're not caught up, know that we will be recapping the whole first season and Jean LeCure's original novel catch the second season, a decade in the making on prime video in January 2026.

如果你還沒跟上，要知道我們會為你總結第一季的內容，以及 Jean LeCure 的原著小說，在 2026 年 1 月於 Prime Video 推出歷時十年打造的第二季。

In February 2016, Tom Hiddleston introduced audiences to the many faces of reluctant spy Jonathan Pine, while Hugh Laurie brought master criminal Richard Onslow Roper to the table.

2016 年 2 月，Tom Hiddleston 讓觀眾認識了不情願的間諜 Jonathan Pine 的多種面貌，而 Hugh Laurie 則飾演了犯罪大師 Richard Onslow Roper。

This and more turned the Night Manager into a major hit for both the BBC and co producer amc.

這部劇以及更多內容，讓《夜班經理》成為 BBC 和聯合製作公司 amc 的一大熱門。

And with a popular resurgence on Prime Video, the streamer helped revive the night manager for two more series in 2024.

隨著在 Prime Video 上人氣回升，該串流平臺在 2024 年幫助《夜班經理》復活了另外兩季。

Hiddleston returns to the field on New Year's Day 2026, just shy of the show's 10th anniversary.

Hiddleston 將在 2026 年新年回歸，距離該劇播出屆滿 10 週年不到。

Certainly newcomers need to understand the hype that inspired this bold comeback.

新觀眾當然需要了解激發這次大膽回歸的熱潮。

Is there anything keeping you awake at night?

Identifying the Source Renowned spy writer John Lecrae published the night manager in 1993.

介紹來源 知名間諜小說家 John Lecrae 於 1993 年出版了《夜班經理》。

His first novel after the Cold War became a New York Times bestseller with praise for its lofty political themes alongside compelling tension and characters.

他冷戰後的第一部小說，憑藉其崇高的政治主題、引人入勝的緊張感和角色，成為《紐約時報》暢銷書。

Paramount Pictures quickly bought the film rights, tapping Oscar winning screenwriter Robert Towne to adapt.

派拉蒙影業迅速買下電影版權，並找來奧斯卡獎得主編劇 Robert Towne 進行改編。

Unfortunately, LeCure's storytelling was too complex for a short form format.

不幸的是，LeCure 的故事太複雜，無法在短篇幅中呈現。

Two decades later, the BBC, along with Ink Factory in association with Character 7, commissioned a six episode serial with David Farr attached to write.

二十年後，BBC 與 Ink Factory 聯合 Character 7 委託製作了六集連續劇，由 David Farr 負責編寫。

Farr had the skills and the modern means of Peak TV to do LeCarre's story justice, as he had previously worked on the acclaimed spy drama Spooks, which was created by Character 7's Stephen Garrett when he was with the production company Kudos.

Farr 擁有 Peak TV 的技能和現代化手段，能夠讓 LeCarre 的故事煥發光彩，他之前曾參與過備受讚譽的間諜劇《Spooks》，該劇由 Character 7 的 Stephen Garrett 在 Kudos 工作時創作。

Right, let's get this stuff ashore onto the truck, shall we?

好了，我們把這些東西弄上卡車吧，好嗎？

New Intel John Le Carre's novels tended to be products of a very specific time.

新情報 John Le Carre 的小說往往是特定時代的產物。

1993's the Night Manager explores the legacy of Cold War era policies that expanded international criminal enterprise.

1993 年的《夜班經理》探討了冷戰時期擴大了國際犯罪企業的政策遺留問題。

In addition to illegal arms, Richard Roeper also traffics narcotics and is dealing with a Colombian cartel looking to militarize the hedge of a cartel that was totally different than the other cartels.

除了非法軍火，Richard Roeper 還販運毒品，並與一個哥倫比亞販毒集團打交道，該集團正尋求將一個與其他販毒集團截然不同的販毒集團的邊緣軍事化。

They looked at it more as a business to expand.

他們更把它看作是擴張的生意。

It's a very different backdrop from the belated adaptation's focus on geopolitics after the Arab Spring, but

這與延遲改編劇聚焦於阿拉伯之春後的國際政治的背景截然不同，但

悲劇的是，卻又沒有那麼不同。

Both stories look at criminal empires as a byproduct of Western espionage and capitalism that thrives on bureaucracy.

這兩個故事都將犯罪帝國視為西方間諜活動和依靠官僚體系蓬勃發展的資本主義的副產品。

In that context, I find the actions of Riverhouse somewhat inimical to the new era of parliamentary accountability and transparency.

在這種情況下，我認為 Riverhouse 的行為對議會問責和透明度的新時代有些不利。

Never mind corrupt officials collaborating with criminals out of financial and national security interests.

更不用說腐敗官員出於財務和國家安全利益與罪犯合作了。

The show goes even more cynical by giving Roeper the facade of a philanthropist who secretly exploits humanitarian crises.

這部劇甚至更加犬儒，讓 Roeper 裝成一個慈善家，實際上卻剝削人道主義危機。

Otherwise, the TV show closely follows the book's plot to dramatize these themes.

否則，這部電視劇會緊密遵循原著情節來戲劇化這些主題。

See children grow up thinking the adult world is ordered, rational, fit for purpose.

看著孩子們長大，以為大人的世界是有序的、理性的、適合目的的。

Becoming a man is realizing that it's all rotten, realizing how to celebrate that rottenness.

成年就是意識到一切都腐爛了，意識到如何慶祝這種腐爛。

The Operation episodes 1 through 3 In 2011, Sophie Alekhan enters the Nefertiti Hotel with evidence of the Hamid family's role in British entrepreneur Richard Roper's illegal arms trademark.

《Operation》第一至三集 2011年，蘇菲·阿萊坎帶著哈米德家族在英國企業家理查·羅珀非法軍火貿易中扮演角色的證據，進入了尼羅河酒店。

The British night manager, Jonathan Pyne, falls in love as he tries to secure her asylum in the UK But Sophie is murdered when he fails.

英國的夜班經理喬納森·派恩在試圖為她爭取英國庇護的過程中墜入愛河，但蘇菲在他失敗時被謀殺了。

Four years later, Pyne is working in Switzerland when he has a chance encounter with Roper that he brings to the attention of Angela Burr of the Foreign Office's International Enforcement Agency.

四年後，派恩在瑞士工作時，偶然遇見了羅伯，並將此事告知了外交部國際執法機構的安潔拉·伯爾。

Come and work for me, and afterwards, when it's all over, I will look after you.

來為我工作吧，事成之後，我會照顧妳。

Pine is ultimately able to infiltrate Roper's organization by thwarting his son's staged kidnapping.

派恩最終挫敗了他兒子的綁架戲碼，成功滲透進了羅伯的組織。

Despite the vicious scrutiny of Roper's right hand, Lance Corky Corcoran.

儘管羅伯的左右手，蘭斯·科奇·科克倫，進行了惡毒的監視。

Pine eventually heads Roper's front company, Trade Pass, under the alias Andrew Birch.

派恩最終以安德魯·伯奇的化名，掌管了羅伯的空殼公司 Trade Pass。

But despite Burr's best efforts to hide Operation Limpet from potentially corrupt superiors, its existence reaches Roper.

但儘管伯爾盡力將「Operation Limpet」隱瞞給可能腐敗的上級，羅伯還是得知了它的存在。

Suspicion is, unfortunately, a tool of my trade.

遺憾的是，懷疑是我的職業技能之一。

Corky's jealousy is very infectious, but it's not really jealousy.

科奇的嫉妒心很強，但那其實不是嫉妒。

The Assets the Night Manager establishes its theme of dual identities right alongside its protagonist.

《夜班經理》在主角的同時，也確立了雙重身份的主題。

We meet Jonathan Pine protecting affluent hotel guests from riots in Egypt, then bonding with local staff as they celebrate the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak.

我們看到喬納森·派恩在埃及保護富裕的飯店客人免受暴動影響，接著和當地員工一起慶祝總統穆巴拉克辭職。

The humanization of the vilified elite extends to Richard Roper, an apparent humanitarian and family man who can always excuse his actions.

對被 vilified 的精英階層的人性化，延伸到了理查·羅伯身上，他是一位明顯的人道主義者和顧家的男人，總能為自己的行為辯護。

The truth is that he's a monster, particularly toward his secretive American girlfriend, Jemima Jed Marshall.

事實是他就是個怪物，尤其對他那神祕的美國女友潔瑪·傑德·馬歇爾。

And I'm not feeling particularly sentimental about her welfare.

我對她的安危也沒什麼特別感傷的。

Her life depends on the quality of your performance in the next half hour.

她的性命就掌握在你接下來半小時的表現。

Everyone is leading a double life, with Pine's handler being changed from a man in the book to the pregnant Angela Burr, seemingly to partly symbolize the omnipresence of multiple identities.

每個人都在過雙重生活，派恩的線人從書中的男性換成了懷孕的安潔拉·伯爾，這似乎部分象徵了多重身份的無所不在。

那就是阿波斯托爾要去的地方。

I think Andrew Birch is someone closer than we think.

我覺得 Andrew Birch 比我們想像的還要接近。

These philosophies manifest in both character arcs and political circumstances.

這些哲學體現在角色發展和政治局勢中。

Even Roper's awareness of Jed's son in New York reflects the fragility of secrets in the information age.

就連 Roper 在紐約知道 Jed 的兒子，也反映了資訊時代裡祕密的脆弱性。

If nothing else, these layers add to the suspense of Pine's infiltration.

至少，這些層次增加了 Pine 滲透的懸疑感。

I'm afraid Freddie was a little bit of a bad boy last night.

I think he might be paying a price this morning.

我想他今早可能要付出代價了。

If you're content, I suggest we process the second half of the payment.

如果你沒意見，我建議我們處理第二部分的付款。

Trade Pass heads out for a humanitarian mission in Syria as a cover for an arms deal.

Trade Pass 出發前往敘利亞執行人道任務，以此掩護軍火交易。

Pine has begun an affair with Jed, and Burr has managed to flip Roper's lawyer, Juan Apostol.

Pine 和 Jed 開始有染，而 Burr 成功策反了 Roper 的律師 Juan Apostol。

We're good people, play it straight, and we keep our promises.

She also identifies Roper's colleague, Halo, as MI6 commander Jeffrey Dromgoole, who is protecting the arms trade to serve the UK's geopolitical stronghold.

她也認出 Roper 的同事 Halo 就是 MI6 指揮官 Jeffrey Dromgoole，他為了維護英國的地緣政治據點而保護軍火交易。

Then it's off to, of all places, Cairo's Nefertiti Hotel to hand off the weapons.

接著，就前往開羅的 Nefertiti Hotel 交接武器。

There, Roper catches Jed trying to steal documents and deduces her affair over torture.

在那裡，Roper 抓到 Jed 試圖偷文件，並透過折磨推斷出她有染。

You know, I never really thought you had it in you.

你知道嗎，我從來沒想過你會有這本事。

I think you must care very deeply about the person you're protecting.

我覺得你一定非常在意你保護的那個人。

She would have been trafficked if Byrd didn't go rogue to break into Roper's room.

如果 Byrd 沒有脫離掌控去闖 Roper 的房間，她早就被販賣了。
