Episode 10

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

(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIR)
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.
(LAUGHTER)
And there are a few loose ends
that need to be considered.
What are you doing?
Um
WOMAN: 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.
(DARK MUSIC)
I quit.

(LIFT BELL DINGS)
- Morning!
- Morning.
(GATE LOCK BUZZES)
- 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?
(SIGHS)
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.
(EXHALES)
(CHUCKLES)
Do I have to spell it out?
Let her deal with him.
And then let us deal with her.

Can you go open that door?
Yeah, alright. I can try. (GRUNTS)
(METAL RATTLES)

- Thank you. Can you
- I called the police. Just a second.
- You're gonna have to help me out.
- Wait.
- Ready? Grab my hand.

Thank you very much, people,
have a very lovely day.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
I have a question, Professor.
(SCOFFS)
What's your question?
My question is
can you come home, please?
(SCOFFS)
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.
(CHUCKLES)
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.
(CHUCKLES)
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.

- What did he say?
- Well, I can't even repeat it.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
- 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.
(CHUCKLES)
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.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Let's get you to hospital, lad.
Thank you. That's very kind.
(WINE POURING)
- 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!
(CHUCKLES)
(DOORBELL RINGS)
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.
(EXHALES SOFTLY)
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. (CHUCKLES)
Danny just loves him to bits.
- Doesn't he, Trevor?
- Loves him.
Where is this hospital?
Been driving for bloody half an hour.
Well, I'm afraid there's been
a bit of a change of plan.
Er, we're gonna head
to the Montenegro border.
- The what?
- The Montenegro border.
It's about 79 minutes away.
- We can't go to the border.
- We're not going to bloody Montenegro.
I'm afraid I'm not asking.
I'm insisting.
Oh, now, Richard. You
(GUN COCKS)
Trevor.
He's got a gun.
I will not use it as long
as you do exactly as I tell you.
Will you do that, Liz?
- Yeah?
- Yes.
OK.
Trevor?
- Yes.
- Good.
And please don't worry,
cos this will all be over very soon.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
So, I've been
weighing up the options
and after due consideration
I think there may be a way
we can re-open the case.
And deliver it
to its optimal conclusion.
So, to translate, what you're saying
is you've changed your mind?
It's more that
I've brokered an agreement
and I've been able to shuffle
some money and resources
to enable us to continue.
What's changed?
Er
I thought about what you said.
Hm.
If you think you have a lead,
follow it.
Finish what we started.
Finish the job.
For the sake of those we've lost.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
When?
And how?
As soon as possible.
And it has to be under the radar.
An unsanctioned operation.
And you must eliminate him.
(SIGHS)
No.
Sorry.

Trevor, if you wouldn't mind,
when we start moving,
will you just take that road
up there on the right?
- What, this one?
- Yeah.
Nice and easy, Trevor.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
You're both looking tired.
Why don't we just pull in,
just up here on the right?
(BRAKES SQUEAL)
(HANDBRAKE CLICKS)
Right, can I have your keys please?
(ENGINE CUTS)
Thank you.
You alright if I go out for a smoke?
(SHAKILY) What?
(INSECTS CHIRPING)
Do you want one?
Do you know what? I will.
Thank you.
(LIGHTER CLICKS)
Are you gonna kill us?
Course not, Trevor.
- I'm not a fucking idiot.
- (LAUGHS SOFTLY)
Do you know,
you remind me of my parents.
How'd you get on with them?
They were nice people.
Well-meaning people.
Like you.
If they were so nice,
where did you come from?
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(DOOR SHUTS)
Time for bed, I think.
It's been a long
and very stressful day for all of us.
And I think that a good night's sleep
will do us all the world of good.

She should just ask someone else.
I mean, no one in there can do
what I do but you know.
- She sounds like an idiot.
- Yeah. She is an idiot.
And because of her, I'm here thinking
- I've failed or something
- Just go.
What? No!
You know you're gonna.
No, I'm not.
- Just tell her she can keep her job.
- I basically did.
Good. You made the right choice.
- Don't draw it out, Bianca.
- I'm not
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
If I did go
if it would just be
this one last thing.
I can't let this go.
- And I have to do the right thing.
- What if staying is the right thing?
- It's It's complicated.
- You've already said no.
- You're just going back on yourself.
- I know. I know. But I will fix it.
Look, if you're going, just go.

But I don't want to go anywhere.
I just want to be home.
What if I said, er Turks and Caicos?
I'd say I'd want to be home.

Could we speak with him?
We saved you the trouble.

We concluded he is not involved, so

It would be really helpful

He's made contact.
And he wants his money, of course.
Only fair. The times that you met him,
did he ever let anything slip about
where he had a base,
or anything like that?
No. He doesn't let things slip.
Did he ever mention Spain?
Spain? No. Why?
(SCOFFS) Doesn't matter.
Well, I'm pretty much wrapped up here.
Catching a flight this evening,

Everyone is very pleased
with your work,

We're gonna take him alive.

- Vince, look.
The Jackal's had help from the start,
from Belarus onwards.
There's something much bigger going on.
The only way we're gonna know
who's been helping him
is if we take him alive.
