The Day of the Jackal (2024) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
1
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.
(PLATFORM WHIRRING)
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.
NURIA:
'Why do you need this disguise?'
JACKAL:
'There are people looking for me.'
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
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.
CELESTE: Some flowers
Never get to bloom and see the day
Some flowers
Are content to wish Their lives away
Some may rise
And some may fall
But only
You may
Ever
See me true
So, only
You can
Tell that
This is who I am
This is who I am!
No lie
Know that
This is who I am ♪
(CHURCH BELLS RING, TRAMS CLATTER)
(SOFT, INTRIGUING MUSIC)
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.
(SCOFFS SOFTLY)
(CHAIR SCRAPES)
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. (HAND SLAPS BACK)
(DRONE WHIRRING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO)
(SOFT, OMINOUS MUSIC)
(GULLS SQUAWKING)
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.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
Morning. There you are.
(CHUCKLES)
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.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) 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.
Uh if you're trying to compete,
I should let you know
that nothing turns me on
like a blueprint, so
Hm?
(WHISPERS) Show me the hot bits.
(LAUGHS)
- You wanna know?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
So that bit there
(INSECTS AND BIRDS CHIRP)
(SOFT, MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
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
(METALLIC CLANKING)
(TRAM BELL RINGS NEARBY)
Everything OK?
Yeah.
- We're all good.
- Hm.
(METALLIC CLANK)
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
(SPEAKING IN ESTONIAN)
MAN: Hey, Rasmus!
Fuck, I'm glad I'm not working tonight.
Imagine having to sit through
three hours of classical piano.
(CHUCKLES) Imagine.
(PIANO TUNING UP)
So, um I'll just wait for you.
Use this to get back in here.
Knock yourself out.
(CHUCKLES)
(RANDOM PIANO NOTES PLAY)
(SOFT, TENSE MUSIC)
(CHATTER IN ESTONIAN)
Rasmus?
- Hey, how was that?
- You have no idea what that was.
That was, uh
that was pretty extraordinary.
(LAUGHS)
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. (CHUCKLES)
- 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.
(CAR ENGINE TURNING OVER)
I've got the Airbnb location.
No! Down, down!
(MACHINE GUN FIRE)
(MACHINE GUN FIRE CONTINUES)
(ENGINE HISSING)
On me! Now!
(GUNSHOTS)
(BODY THUDS)
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.
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
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.
(INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Internal Security. Open the door.
Go!
(LOUD CRASH)
SOLDIERS: Go, go, go, go!
- Clear!
- Oh, shit.
(CLOSERS CLICK)
- You OK?
- Uh Yeah, I had some dodgy sushi.
(CHUCKLES) I'm hoping these'll
bung me up before the flight.
Too much information. (CHUCKLES)
(STRAINING) 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.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
NEWSREADER: '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.'
MAN: (ON TV)
UDC, bless his pointy little head,
hasn't got the memo
that class hatred
(PHONE VIBRATES)
makes no more sense now,
just when the world needs to
pull together, than it ever did.
It didn't happen. In Tallinn.
It was a couple of Russians.
They botched it.
Years after Communism,
Russians are still drunk,
lazy, inept, corrupt peasants.
National characteristics
always outlive regime change.
It was very short notice, Tim.
Do you know, when the Romans
could no longer find enough Romans
to run their empire, Greatest empire
the world has ever known,
they started hiring foreigners.
The rest is history.
Decline and fall.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
No foreigners.
Mmm.
You tell Leonora we like
Coughlin's class hatred line.
(SCOFFS)
This is Officer Kohver. She's sure
she saw your man last night.
We were responding to a burglary
in the building.
We spoke to a number of tenants
on this floor.
And one man,
there was something about him,
and he looked a lot like this.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(SCANNER BEEPS)
Evening.
(WOMAN SPEAKS IN ESTONIAN)
(SCANNER BEEPS)
Could I see your bag, sir?
Oh. It's probably the boot.
Thank you, that's fine.
Thank you.
KOHVER: He had a British passport
in the name of Peter Gibson.
- How did Gibson pay?
- Credit card.
We're checking to see
if the card has been used.
I'll also get forensic team in
for prints and DNA.
Hopefully, we can match results
to what we found in Hungary.
And get Officer Kovher
in with the artist.
See if we can get a better likeness.
Uh These please.
And I'll get four of the nuts
and and four
of these chocolate bars.
- How much will that be?
- Thirty Euros, please.
Thirty. Thirty Euros, Christ.

VINCE: So, they're Russian?
The Estonians are convinced
they are. Have a look at this.
Yeah, someone is going out of
their way to try and kill me.
OK, we get it, you're a big deal.
OK, we've updated the facial composite.
Ilves is distributing this
to every cop in Estonia,
as well as airports, ports,
railway stations,
car rental offices, and the venue.
What do you think?
Well, the Jackal never looks
the same way twice, does he?
Ilves says Peter Gibson hasn't
used his credit card in Tallinn
since he paid for the Airbnb.

Keith?
- Bianca Pullman.
- Vince Pyne.
We work for Osi Halcrow.
Alright. Uh Meet our guy.
- How accurate is this?
- A local policewoman had eyes on him,
as close as I am to you,
for a minute or two.
OK. It's gonna be very helpful.
Yeah. Uh There's also this.
Who am I looking at?
The Jackal in one of his disguises.
Seriously?
Maybe not so helpful, eh?
(SCANNER BEEPING)
How do I look?
I want everyone gone by 1800 hours.
From 1800 the entire building
is locked down.
No-one gets in or out
without my personal authorisation.
(TRAM BELL RINGS)
KEITH: We'll keep
these upper levels empty
with just armed guards up here
covering the audience.
Keith, I've got
a present for your dogs.
The Jackal left this behind.
- Hm.
- It could have his scent on it.
(CHATTER OVER RADIO)

UDC will arrive in the green room
20 minutes before the presentation.
It's sterile.
(DRILL BUZZING)
When the lights go out,
Rima will make a short introduction.
And UDC will make his announcement
behind the bullet-proof glass.
The entire media crew's
under DagHaus direction.
They have the exclusive feed
going to all the networks.

NURIA: 'Is this worth it?'
(QUIET CLASSICAL MUSIC)
- 'Always alone, Mr Calthrop.'
- 'Always.'
To eat alone is sad.
Yeah, it is pretty sad.
(SPEAKS IN SPANISH)

better alone than in bad company.

Am I looking at the luckiest

Come on, repeat after me.
- We're fucked!

We have to change, and we know it.
And that change
has to start with money,
because money equals power.
And when has power ever wanted change?
Change is like kryptonite for
people with power. They go all

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.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
Morning. There you are.
(CHUCKLES)
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.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) 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.
Uh if you're trying to compete,
I should let you know
that nothing turns me on
like a blueprint, so
Hm?
(WHISPERS) Show me the hot bits.
(LAUGHS)
- 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
(METALLIC CLANKING)

Everything OK?
Yeah.

MAN: Hey, Rasmus!
Fuck, I'm glad I'm not working tonight.
Imagine having to sit through
three hours of classical piano.

(PIANO TUNING UP)
So, um I'll just wait for you.
Use this to get back in here.
Knock yourself out.

(SOFT, TENSE MUSIC)
(CHATTER IN ESTONIAN)
Rasmus?
- Hey, how was that?
- You have no idea what that was.
That was, uh
that was pretty extraordinary.
(LAUGHS)
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. (CHUCKLES)
- 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.
(CAR ENGINE TURNING OVER)
I've got the Airbnb location.
No! Down, down!

(GUNSHOTS)
(BODY THUDS)
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.
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
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.

- You OK?
- Uh Yeah, I had some dodgy sushi.
(CHUCKLES) I'm hoping these'll
bung me up before the flight.
Too much information. (CHUCKLES)
(STRAINING) 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.

NEWSREADER: 'Both UDC and DagHaus
have remained tight-lipped

announcement of River.
The venues in Dublin,
Dubai and Kuala Lumpur

UDC has created quite a stir already

invention, River, can do.'

UDC, bless his pointy little head,
hasn't got the memo
that class hatred
(PHONE VIBRATES)
makes no more sense now,
just when the world needs to
pull together, than it ever did.
It didn't happen. In Tallinn.
It was a couple of Russians.
They botched it.
Years after Communism,
Russians are still drunk,
lazy, inept, corrupt peasants.
National characteristics
always outlive regime change.
It was very short notice, Tim.
Do you know, when the Romans
could no longer find enough Romans
to run their empire, Greatest empire
the world has ever known,
they started hiring foreigners.
The rest is history.
Decline and fall.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
No foreigners.
Mmm.
You tell Leonora we like
Coughlin's class hatred line.
(SCOFFS)
This is Officer Kohver. She's sure
she saw your man last night.
We were responding to a burglary
in the building.
We spoke to a number of tenants
on this floor.
And one man,
there was something about him,
and he looked a lot like this.

KOHVER: He had a British passport
in the name of Peter Gibson.
- How did Gibson pay?
- Credit card.
We're checking to see
if the card has been used.
I'll also get forensic team in
for prints and DNA.
Hopefully, we can match results
to what we found in Hungary.
And get Officer Kovher
in with the artist.
See if we can get a better likeness.
Uh These please.
And I'll get four of the nuts
and and four
of these chocolate bars.
- How much will that be?
- Thirty Euros, please.
Thirty. Thirty Euros, Christ.

OK, we've updated the facial composite.
Ilves is distributing this
to every cop in Estonia,
as well as airports, ports,
railway stations,
car rental offices, and the venue.
What do you think?
Well, the Jackal never looks

OK. It's gonna be very helpful.
Yeah. Uh There's also this.
Who am I looking at?
The Jackal in one of his disguises.

Am I looking at the luckiest

Yep. Apparently we're doomed.

- 'Yeah, I know. The warm up act
is supposed to warm you up,
not scare the shit out of you.
But come on, I flattered you.'

I mean you, and I mean

Some of us,
no, most of us, have loads of stuff.
Well, we're not exactly lining up
at the soup kitchens, are we?
Don't be embarrassed about it.
But just because we have stuff,
doesn't mean we're not fucked.

We're in denial.

We keep pretending nothing bad
is happening when we know it is.
Come on, repeat after me.
- We're fucked!
- ALL: We're fucked!
We have to change, and we know it.
And that change
has to start with money,
because money equals power.
And when has power ever wanted change?
Change is like kryptonite for
people with power. They go all
