The bullets sent flying were the least dramatic part of the shoot-out that brought The Night Manager's latest chapter to a close.
But the sequence didn't play out like a typical double-cross, the likes of which spy fiction is filled with. The swelling music, teary eyes and anguished outburst made one thing clear: this was a matter of the heart.
Well, consider that case closed.
Both Hiddleston and Calva deserve high praise for this powerful stand-off, but especially the latter, who is dragged through a dizzying cycle of confusion, heartbreak and fury as Teddy wakes up to his deception.
To Calva's credit, even in the grotesque inhumanity of that action, we can still see the dying embers of a soul in Teddy – which is perhaps what draws Pine to him as well. It begs the question: can he be redeemed for his many grave sins?
After decades spent at arm's length as a secret love child, Teddy tells Roper that he wants to be formally acknowledged as his son in return for helping him through the darkest period of his life.
For now, Teddy remains oblivious to this rejection, making his attempts to please his father all the more heartbreaking – from personally making him breakfast to lying when their kidnapping plot goes awry (admittedly, not the greatest bonding activity).
Hiddleston's chameleonic agent doesn't have a brilliant track record when it comes to romantic relationships (case in point: where is Jed?), with producer Stephen Garrett dourly telling Deadline that "spies have no friends, have no family".
While hardly a fairytale ending, any outcome that frees both men of Roper's corrupting influence would give this sizzling connection some long-term meaning – and that isn't nothing!
