The Day of the Jackal

The following programme contains strong language and violent scenes.

Say the words. I kill people for money!

Is that what you wanna hear? Is that enough?!

Did you think you could live two parallel lives?

I'm gonna stop.

There's one more job that I have to finish.

Alvaro just told me that he's been talking to Jimmy Tejero.

He's a fucking gangster. I'm gonna make this OK.

I'm closing the investigation. I just need a little more time.

And I need you to move on. And if I can't?

I don't think you'll like the answer to that question.

You were really young when you had Jasmine.

But it's not a one-time choice.

OK, you've got to keep choosing it every day.

All we have left is our Hail Mary, the Jackal.

There you are...

Hola?

WOMAN

Fuck it.

Hi.

Sorry?

You wanna check the car? Yeah. Of course.

Stop! Stop!

This morning, I lost my dear friend,

my confidante, my soulmate.

The world lost a visionary

and a beacon of hope.

In these tragic circumstances, the DagHaus board of directors

feels it needs time to do some soul searching

and has therefore decided to postpone indefinitely

the release of River. Thank you.

I'll be damned. The son of a bitch actually did it.

A little self-congratulation is in order, I suppose.

We have, after all, achieved something truly momentous.

And there are a few loose ends that need to be considered.

What are you doing?

Um...

That's fine, leave it with me.

Yes...

Thank you. Thanks.

I got it. I got it, got it.

Have you heard of Jimmy Tejero? No.

No, you wouldn't have. He's a small-time

lowlife in Spain. Killed two days ago.

A highly skilled, one-bullet execution

from one kilometre away. From a boat.

It's identical to the UDC hit.

It has to be the same killer,

but UDC and Jimmy Tejero aren't in the same league.

So I'm thinking it's a personal grudge.

If you get me to Spain, I can... Enthusiasm is one thing,

insubordination is another. The case is closed, Bianca.

This guy was definitely target... I will not repeat myself.

You don't think we owe it to the people who have died?

We tried. We failed.

You failed. Sometimes that is the job.

That's not the job I signed up for.

Then maybe you need to find another job, Bianca.

I need people who are team players, not reckless loners

who endanger our work and cost us lives and money.

What are you saying?

I'm saying you need to take some time out, possibly permanent...

No, no, no, no, no. I cannot even allow you

to finish that sentence.

I quit.

Morning! Morning.

Foreign Secretary. Ah.

Barbarians are still out there.

But we have given them a very bloody nose.

Our plan worked. Well done.

Oh.

Thank you.

Mm. So what is the, um...

situation with your rather over-zealous officer?

She's now convinced he's in Spain.

That a recent killing was a personal grudge.

But don't worry. It's in hand. I've shut her down.

Right...

I expect to receive her resignation in the very near future.

Ah!

Well, that's unfortunate.

Zeal outside the tent tends to be rather problematic.

Well, I... I don't think she'll go rogue, if that's what you mean?

Our friends...

are anxious

that if the Jackal is apprehended, it's by somebody who is...

simpatico.

And it would be nice to be able to provide them with some...

closure.

Well, it's just that I don't... I don't think Bianca is simpatico.

Do I have to spell it out?

Let her deal with him.

And then let us deal with her.

Sir, I'm in here!

Sir, I'm in here! Can you... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can you... Can you get me out, please?

Can you help? Can you go open that door?

Yeah, alright. I can try.

Thank you. Can you... I called the police. Just a second.

You're gonna have to help me out. Wait.

Ready? Grab my hand. Give me a hand. Ready.

Yep. One, two, three...

Shit.

You are bleeding. I'm gonna call the medic.

OK.

Woah, woah... Alright.

- That's your van? - Yes. Yeah, where are the keys?

In the van.

Please don't hurt me.

OK, no questions,

so I expect no excuses.

Thank you very much, people, have a very lovely day.

I have a question, Professor.

What's your question?

My question is...

...can you come home, please?

I've left. I'm out.

Really? Yes.

I heard everything that you said...

and I choose my family.

Didn't ask you to choose between us and your job.

Just asked you to want us as much. I do.

And what will you do instead?

I'll just stay home and support you for a change.

Hmm. Go to the shops and...

cook and...

fold things. OK, please... don't.

That all sounds extremely terrifying.

Look, I've been away... a lot.

And I'm very aware that I've neglected you.

And I never really...

thanked you for all the years of looking after Jas...

Come on, you don't need to thank me for that.

I am her father.

I don't have all the answers to all of the questions.

And I know they'll be many.

I just want my husband back.

Here we go.

You want to watch yourself.

Why?

What did he say? Well, I can't even repeat it.

Excuse me?

Do you speak English, by any chance?

We do our best. I'm Richard.

Liz. Hi, Liz.

This grumpy sod's my husband, Trevor.

Hi, Trevor.

Look, I'm so sorry to disturb the peace,

but, er... I'm actually not feeling at all well.

Oh, you poor thing. Well, no,

I basically lost the feeling in my hand for a few minutes and, er...

well I have a bit of a chequered history with high blood pressure.

You need to get to hospital, Richard.

Well, do you know, I'm sure it's absolutely nothing,

but I just spoke to my wife, who's back in Saffron Walden,

and as you can imagine, she's gone into a total tailspin

and is insisting that I don't drive myself.

So...

well, I just was wondering if there was any chance

that I could persuade you to drop me at a hospital.

Er, I've checked on my phone,

there's one about 15 minutes away.

Let's get you to hospital, lad.

Thank you. That's very kind.

Jas, are you wearing lip gloss? Yeah.

Ah. It's nice.

Do you wanna play a game or something?

For the love of God, Jas, please. Help your mum find a new job, OK?

For all our sanity. Forget it!

Stop. OK?

Are you gonna add any, like, scotch bonnet?

Excuse me, when was the last time you made a curry?

Get out of my kitchen. No... Hello.

Jasmine? Yeah.

Is your mum in?

Yeah. Come in. Thank you.

Mum. What?

Yeah?

Sorry to disturb you at home.

Hi. Hello.

I wondered if we could have a conversation.

Er, Jas, come on. Let's, erm...

We take our shoes off. Right. Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

Brodsworth Hall and Gardens is really lovely.

There's some lovely nature walks.

Little Danny, he's our youngest grandson,

he's on the spectrum.

But he's as good as gold.

He just loves Hamish.

Who may Hamish be?

Polar bear in the wildlife park.

Oh.

Danny just loves him to bits.

Doesn't he, Trevor? Loves him.

Where is this hospital?
