JACKAL: Two British Intelligence Officers

arrived last night from Budapest.

I was wondering if your people

might be able to do something about them?

Are you asking me for my help?

Get down! Get down!

BIANCA: Someone is going out of their way

to try and kill me.

You're in my house.

Tell me everything I need to know or you die.

DAMIAN: George Hands. He runs a sniper WhatsApp group.

Text me the address. I'll go myself.

DAMIAN: I'm not the mole, you know.

BIANCA: Could you have made that shot?

There is one guy. Alexander Duggan.

MARISA [IN SPANISH]: You believe everything he told you?

[IN SPANISH] I don't know.

Right now all I can do is trust.

KEITH: From 1800, the entire building is locked down.

No one gets in or out.

[♪]

River is gonna change everything.

Fuck you, you tyrant!

BIANCA: He's in here somewhere.

- Lock all the exits. - RASMUS: Peter?

JACKAL: You've got a good man face, Rasmus.

[GAGS]

[♪]

GARY: Target inside compound.

Range, 1400.

JACKAL: One thousand four hundred.

GARY: Wind...

Naught point five.

Send it.

JACKAL: That's not him.

Send it and let's get the fuck out of here.

- No, his beard's white. - No one cares, Duggan.

No one gives a fuck.

Just drop him so we can get--That's not him, Gary.

- Target out of view. - It wasn't the target.

He's fucking gone.

How long are we gonna have to wait?

As long as it takes.

NEWSCASTER [OVER TV]: Details are still murky

following what appeared to be an assassination attempt

on Ulle Dag Charles, as he gave a speech...

[PHONE RINGS] It's Leonora.

Well, put her on speaker phone.

NEWSCASTER: It's reported two shots...

WINTHROP: What in God's name happened?

LEONORA: All I know is, the man who pulled that wasn't our guy.

REPORTER: Teddy, is it true

that the gunman was one of UDC's own security staff?

TEDDY: UDC is safe.

He wants to assure the world...

Leonora, are you seeing what we're seeing?

LEONORA: I am.

TEDDY: ...to prevent the launch of River on the 28th.

REPORTER: Is it true even the Dag Haus board

believes River will be a disaster

for the world economy?

[EMPHATICALLY] River will flow.

Thank you. Goodnight.

WINTHROP: The board.

Gutless, spineless, bunch of ass-lickers.

Of course they're going ahead if Saint Suleyman tells them to.

How could you let that happen? It's not fucking good enough.

WINTHROP [OVER PHONE]: What are our options, hm?

Because if this thing launches, I may as well

open a stall in a farmer's market.

Leonora, is our guy still active?

- Zina's trying to determine that. - WOJACK: Is she?

Well, tell her to make the determination fast, would you?

Tallinn was our one chance and he missed.

We're on it.

ZINA: He still has a week until they release River.

As The Jackal breaks cover, I'll find out what's going on.

LEONORA: You don't know Winthrop like I do, Zina.

Failure threatens these men.

And anyone associated with that failure is expendable.

He must have hidden down there before the lockdown.

Two days. That is some patience.

VINCE: Yep.

That'll be the gun Norman printed up.

The ports, airports and border crossings

have all got the e-fit.

Look at all the planning The Jackal put into all this.

Yeah, then that fucking weirdo Chris ruined it for him.

He's one of those manifesto nutters.

Posted it on Facebook just before he took the shot.

- God, what's it say? - VINCE: It's long.

Lots of random capital letters.

He wanted everyone to think that River

was for their own good.

Liar, liar, liar. He wanted information so...

UDC: I still don't understand

how you didn't know this guy was a conspiracy fantasist?

KEITH: He posted under different handles.

Nothing in his own name.

TEDDY: You allowed a fanatic

to come this close to killing Ulle.

- They need to go, now. - KEITH: I fully understand,

but The Jackal is still on the loose.

The Jackal is no longer my only concern.

I am worried about the people literally in my own house!

BIANCA: What do you mean, nothing?

DAMIAN: Well, nothing matches the e-fit yet.

BIANCA: We know he was there so he's gotta be one of these people.

He's not a fucking ghost, he can't just disappear.

[SIGHS]

This guy's just like us. He has needs.

He eats, he gets sick.

Where does he go to rest? Who does he turn to?

Who takes care of him?

Where's your report on Alexander Duggan?

Sending you the updated version now.

[SIGHS]

It's a bit thin, no?

Well, the file on Duggan and his unit is STRAP 2, so...

- What? - That doesn't make any sense.

STRAP 2 is two levels higher than top secret.

So Duggan and his unit must've done some things

that the Army and MoD wanna keep covered up.

[♪]

GARY: Six hours we've been here, Duggan.

Bravo 2. Vehicles in transit.

Target coming out of the compound.

Range, 1400.

- One thousand four hundred. - Wind...

0.4. Left to right.

0.4.

Send it.

Yeah.

[ALL CHEER]

That's very kind.

I hope you're sharing that, Duggan.

JACKAL: Always, Gaz.

Go on then boss, stick it on.

No, not me. There's only one man who should do this.

Go for it, Gary.

GARY: Fourteen hundred meters.

[IMITATES EXPLOSION]

Fucking-- How do you do that, Duggan?

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY]

Fucking best sniper in the entire British Army.

But I love you.

Couldn't do it without me, though.

Admit it. I'm the best spotter in the world.

I make you great.

Yeah.

Whoa, excuse me.

- Whoa, excuse me. - Whoa, whoa. Hey, wait.

Wait, Gary.

- Sorry, sorry. - Gaz. Gaz.

I meant no offense, okay? I'm sorry.

Can I buy you gentlemen a drink?

Mate, the answer to that question

is always gonna be yes, buy away.

Okay. Yeah.

Another round here, and one for me.

Keep it calm, buddy.

You guys have been in Helmand?

What's it like there?

Helmand? Fucking...

horrible, mate.

Two of our boys last month got their legs blown off.

IED.

[SCOFFS]

Wow, the Army must be paying you a fortune

to take those kinds of risks?

GARY: Mate, I'd make more money

emptying bins back in Lancashire.

CENK: But you're highly trained men.

You should be making a lot more money.

[CHUCKLES] You reckon?

What if I told you a friend of mine

would pay 10,000 British pounds...

maybe even 15...

for you to take care of a problem he has.

- What kind of problem? - He wants someone killed, Gaz.

Is that right?

Well, you kill people for the army,

what's the difference?

Except you'd be getting a lot more money.

You don't go to prison killing people for the army.

My friend is a...

Is a very important man, there would be no risk.

There's always risk.

My friend might go up to 20.

For each of you.

Here's my card.

OSI: Do we really still have no idea who this man is?

We have his fingerprints and DNA.

There's no record of him. Anywhere.

So the e-fit is basically all we've got?

No. We have Alexander Duggan.

OSI: The dead sniper?

Something is not right about Duggan and his unit.

First off, Duggan's army files are STRAP 2.

- That must be a mistake. - No mistake.

I need to see the file on Duggan and his unit.

That'll be a very bureaucratic,

which is to say, tiresome, process.

Duggan was an outstanding sniper.

- The best. - Yes. Was.

He's the only man on record capable of making that shot.

- But he's dead. - He went to Afghanistan

and never came back. But there's no body.

There could be information in that file that'll help us.

Let me see what I can do.

Bianca, are you free at 6 this evening for ten minutes,

to meet with the Foreign Secretary?

Yep.

ISABEL: Carver's doing his best with his inquiries

but the whole thing's getting in the way.

Which is rather tiresome.

Ah. Bianca.

Great pleasure to meet you.

And you.[CHUCKLES]

- Please. - Thank you.

So I received a WhatsApp message from the PM this morning

with a link to the clip of you in Tallinn.

And he wrote, "Best of British!"

[CHUCKLES WEAKLY] So it seems that there are still

some things in which we are world-class,

and importantly the world knows it.

So Isabel was telling me you want to have a look

- at a STRAP 2 file? - That's right.

Because you think it'll help you find The Jackal?

- Yes. - Rumor has it

that you can be charming. Ah.

I thought you might like to use those charms on the MoD?

Did you indeed.

Well, it would mean owing Nick a favor, and that's not...

Well, it's not an ideal situation to be in.

No.

Though perhaps a better situation

than if UDC were killed by an assassin

who turns out to be ex-British Army,

and it's later revealed

we had information we didn't act on.

Those internal inquiries are always such a bore.

[CHUCKLES]

Quite.

Okay, yup.

All right, I'll talk to Nick.

Right, I've got to get to the theater so anything else?

- That's it for now, I think. - Good.

Okay, well, enjoy your play.

Thank you.

It's David Hare.

Of course I'm not gonna bloody enjoy it.

[♪]

CENK: My friend is very pleased with your work.

Barzani was a big troublemaker.

Always telling lies in his newspaper.

[CHUCKLES] You know, frankly,

my friend wasn't sure if you'd be able to do it.

Now Barzani was a very paranoid man. Always lots of guards.

He hardly ever showed his face.

But you did it.

You are the best.

My friend is hoping you might be available

to look at something else for him.

- How much? - CENK: He's a very generous man.

He also has a lot of enemies.

And we'd provide all the logistics of course,

travel, equipment, housing,

expenses, documentation, everything.

Sounds fucking great.

But I've still got six years to serve.

Duggan's got three.

If we go AWOL, the military police

will be looking everywhere for us.

Those fuckers don't fuck about.

Well, if you change your mind, you have my number.

Yeah.

Thank you.

REPORTER [SPEAKING SPANISH]: British authorities have released this image

of an unknown man,

nicknamed "The Jackal," who is being sought...

ÁLVARO [IN SPANISH]: Come here! Here, here, here! Nuria! Quick!

[IN SPANISH] What's all the shouting?

Look at this...

REPORTER [CONTINUING]: Be cautious, as he appears to be...

Look at this.

The violent assassination attempt...

It's Charles, isn't it?

...Ulle Dag Charles.

It's him?

It could be anyone.

ÁLVARO: Come on, it's him, you know it's Charles.

You said he went to Tallinn?

This Jackal killer is in Tallinn.

Nuri?

Nuria, do you know where Charles is?

TEDDY: Thank you. Goodnight.

[LINE TRILLING]

JACKAL: Hey.

Are you still in Tallinn?

JACKAL: No, no. I managed to get out.

It was absolute carnage there, though. Are you all right?

There's a picture on TV here in Spain.

A man the police are looking for.

Yeah, I think I've seen the same one.

Álvaro thinks it's you.

Okay.

You must tell your brother

that he cannot repeat that to anyone.

Do you hear me? This is important.

[IN SPANISH] My God, it's all true.

...that he cannot repeat what you said

to anybody, am I clear?

[IN ENGLISH] Will the police come here?

No, they have no reason to come.

You listen to me, Nuria, okay? You are completely safe.

No one knows who I am. They don't know where I live.

You, Carlito, the family.

You're all safe, but you tell your brother

that he must not say a word.

What the fuck, Charles? No this is important!

You tell your brother he can't say a word.

Are you still coming tomorrow?

Yes, I am.

I'll be there in the afternoon.

You'd better be here.

[IN SPANISH] Because now...

...this ends!

I want the fucking truth!

NARRATOR [OVER TV]: Heating firm manager, Gary, and his wife, Jess,

bought this plot of land two years ago.

After overcoming several planning obstacles,

work began on this extraordinary project

and their dream home began to take shape.

[DOOR OPENS] Six months into the build,

I went along to meet them at the property to find out

how their plans are coming together,

all the while trying to hide...

Mom.

Jaz?

[SIGHS] Ah.

Uh...

I didn't know you were...

Just stand back a second.

Hi.

Come in.

Can we just talk out here?

There's no one here. It's just me.

Look, we can't stand in the cold, my love.

Can you just come in, please.

God, I've missed you so much.

Mm!

Do you want a tea or something?

You know it's really cold.

I'm good.

Did you save UDC's life?

I was part of a team.

All my friends think he's gonna change the world.

Oh, yeah?

Do you?

Well, he does a lot for our generation, so maybe.

Hm. Maybe.

Are you really leaving us?

What?

I'm not leaving. I wouldn't-- I would never do that.

Then why aren't we back here? Together?

I need to work out how best to protect you and our family.

Okay?

I need to...

I need to make sure I get that right.

So, what happened to the man who came here that night?

He's in prison. He can't hurt you.

I don't think he really wanted to hurt me.

He was just upset about his daughter.

- And I feel sorry for him. - Oh, don't.

Don't Jaz, honestly. He's not a good man.

But, Mom, his daughter died.

Did you have something to do with her death?

No.

I know you save people.

And that's a good thing.

Sometimes...

you might have to...

do some other things that you might not want to do.

No, Jaz.

I only do good things, no bad things.

Okay?

Are you sure?

Mom, just look at me.

[SIGHS]

Yes.

No. Genuine question.

How you holding up?

Yeah, see when you made me those promises,

did you actually mean them?

You know, even for a minute?

I can understand that.

It's what you do.

You used my daughter to get to my wife.

Used my wife to get to me, used me to get to my brother.

Fair play.

Except all those people are dead now.

That's some trail of woe you've left behind, Bianca.

Larry, I didn't kill Alison. You did.

Yeah, I killed Alison.

I've killed a lot of people.

Most of them deserved it.

And I've used people to get what I want.

Which is exactly the same as what you do.

No, I'm bad. I'm rotten.

But so are you.

Tell me I'm a liar.

BIANCA: Listen.

I think about Emma and Alison every single day.

And I'm truly, genuinely sorry.

That's why I wanted to see you.

To tell you that I am sorry.

You don't know what sorry means.

You're more twisted than what I am, Bianca.

BIANCA: Medic!

Medic, now!

Medic!

Call an ambulance!

Move back please. Back.

That man probably killed 20 odd people,

including his wife.

I've literally got blood on my hands.

Come here.

I don't see anything.

Bianca.

Everyone in this building has done stuff

they never thought they would ever do.

Yep.

Look.

If you're told that some guy down the street

is a clear and present danger and has to be neutralized.

It's easy, isn't it?

You don't know him, you just do it.

Yes.

If it's your next-door neighbor,

it's a bit harder.

But we do what has to be done.

But what if it's-- I don't know.

Your mom.

Bad example.

- Bad example. - Okay, fair enough,

but you get my point.

This job is complicated.

We have to remember why it is we do it.

Remind me.

To protect people.

To protect people.

Would it help cheer you up if I told you

that I had Alexander Duggan's file

waiting for you in Conference Room 2?

Seriously?

Yes, yes, it would help.

Courtesy of the Foreign Secretary.

Whatever you and Isabel said to him, it worked.
