The Day of the Jackal

The following programme contains strong language and violent scenes.

You're going to Tallinn. UDC's going to be there.

I'm announcing River in four days

and it will be released on the 28th.

'Where is he now?' He should be in Tallinn.

You need to find him and stay with him.

Distance to the target is 75m.

What are the obstacles? A...metal detector

and an ultra-sensitive scanner

but I've got an idea for that. That's very clever.

The glass is bullet-resistant.

It'll stop five rounds from a 7.62mm rifle.

That is a fucking work of art.

Can you call them please?

I do not want her here. Angela, go inside.

I'm talking to my husband and child! Please go back inside.

You have good man face.

'Why do you need this disguise?'

'There are people looking for me.'

Could I see some ID, please?

Hi, is that Rasmus?

I just wondered if you wanted to grab a drink?

What sort of vibe would you say I have?

Kinda serious. Also a bit dangerous.

So, two British Intelligence officers

arrived here last night from Budapest.

Male, mid-30s, white,

about 5'10", brown hair.

Female about the same age,

Black, first name: Bianca.

I was wondering if your people might be able to do something about them.

Wait, are you asking me for my help?

Sure.

On it. Rodin's arriving on Friday.

They're gonna ask me if you're confident it can be done.

Well, you can tell them whatever they wanna hear.

Well, I'm also asking for myself.

So, what would you like me to tell you?

That you'll deliver.

I'm on your side.

I was hoping that would be clear by now.

I was hoping this could be even more of a collaboration.

I don't collaborate.

You won't hear from me until after it's done

and I expect to be paid promptly.

It's me.

Yeah, I need some priority assistance on site.

Sure, I'll have the details sent to you right away.

We've set you up in the Cultural Attache's office.

Good morning. Welcome to Operation Anubis.

Someone's pulled their finger out.

The Foreign Secretary isn't a particularly generous man.

But he's personally very miffed about the Jackal

killing his friend, Manfred.

Did we get any matches from his DNA and prints?

Nothing.

This guy's a fucking ghost.

Oskar Ilves of the Estonian Internal Security Service is our liaison.

His team is going through hotels, hostels,

Airbnb's and private rentals.

They're also asking for a likeness,

so I want you to meet Cole.

Cole is going to help you put a face to the Jackal.

Wider...

It's a bit more, yeah... just like that. Yep. Like that.

Don't do anything else- Right, OK, yeah. What do you think?

Vince. You saw him, right?

Oh. For a split second. Well, what do you think?

Uh... Yeah, yeah. Could be him.

Look, Osi, this is the best it's gonna get it.

OK.

We'll share it with Oskar Ilves and the Estonians.

Thank you, Cole.

Sir, I've just heard a British team tracked

the assassin to Hungary.

Unfortunately, he got away. He's resourceful and dangerous.

You cannot go to Tallinn. Do the launch from here.

If I hide away...

River's enemies win.

We've been planning this for a year.

The guests have been invited, 1,000 of them.

Ordinary people, all randomly selected.

They have no idea where they're going until they get there,

and they've all signed NDAs. People talk.

If we cancel now, UDC looks ridiculous.

Better ridiculous than dead.

Debatable.

Morning. There you are.

Sorry, I had something early and I didn't wanna wake you.

What's that? Oh.

I managed to get my hands on these plans for the Konsterdisaal.

It's pretty astonishing what these guys managed to achieved.

Yeah, I thought last night was pretty great too.

You've got a very nice smile, Rasmus.

Thank you. No, you sort of radiate kindness.

Wow. No, that's a good thing.

You can't have too much kindness these days. Hm.

Uh... if you're trying to compete, I should let you know

that nothing turns me on like a blueprint, so... Hm?

Show me the hot bits.

You wanna know? Yeah.

Yeah? Yeah.

So that bit there...

Nuri...

And how could you tell?

U...Probably by getting up there and having a look.

But this isn't even trying to explain it, so...

Well, I could take you.

Have a look.

Really? Mm.

It would have to be this afternoon, though.

There's a concert tonight and they'll shut the whole place down.

Like, total lockdown. What's that about?

I dunno, they just told us that after tonight

no-one's getting in or out without special permission.

Well, they've got me leaving this evening now, so,

I could do this afternoon, if that works?

Would you make it worth my while?

Buah...

Pfft...

Everything OK?

Yeah.

We're all good. Hm.

Hey, Rasmus!

Fuck, I'm glad I'm not working tonight.

Imagine having to sit through three hours of classical piano.

Imagine.

So, um... I'll just wait for you.

Use this to get back in here. Knock yourself out.

Rasmus?

Hey, how was that? You have no idea what that was.

That was, uh... that was pretty extraordinary.

What?

No, you're just so happy about it. It's hilarious.

That, for me, that was... that was a big thing.

Right.

Thank you.

No problem.

Do you wanna grab some food?

I'd love that, but I've got a ton of things I've gotta do

before I fly, so...

But I'll see you when I come and pick up my stuff?

Sure. Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah.

I've established a line of communication

with Keith Canvey, UDC's head of security.

I've sent him the facial composite.

But basically he won't share anything with us.

He's not even admitting UDC's coming to Tallinn.

I have Oskar Ilves for you, Osi. Put him on speaker.

Oskar, hi. It's Osi.

'Hi. We have a police officer who recognises the facial composite.

She talked to the guy last night at an Airbnb.

British. Name of Peter Gibson. I'm on my way to the location now.'

Oskar, I'm sending you one of our teams.

Siobhan, get them transports and an armed escort.

Your escort is Richard and Phil.

They'll meet you at the front of the building in five.

I've got the Airbnb location.

No! Down, down!

On me! Now!

He aimed straight at you. That was a fucking hit.

Are you OK? Yeah.

Do you need to come inside?

N-No. No, uh... we need to go.

We need to go. Go. I'll deal with the police.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Be careful.

You OK?

He didn't miss by much.

Yeah... Idiot.

Oskar Ilves, Internal Security.

Do you know if our guy's in there? We don't,

but he was definitely there last night.

We've covered all the exits. OK.

Internal Security. Open the door.

Go!

Go, go, go, go!

Clear! Oh, shit.

You OK? Uh... Yeah, I had some dodgy sushi.

I'm hoping these'll bung me up before the flight.

Too much information.

Right...

It's been fun.

It's been more than fun.

You got a good-man face, Rasmus.

What does that mean?

Kindness just seems to come off you naturally.

Guess I'm just a happy person.

'Both UDC and DagHaus have remained tight-lipped

with regards to the upcoming announcement of River.

The venues in Dublin, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur

have all been rumoured as possible locations.

UDC has created quite a stir already

with hints to what his latest invention, River, can do.'

UDC, bless his pointy little head,
